MODULAR HYDROCARBON FACILITY PLACEMENT PLANNING SYSTEM

A method for identifying locations for components of a hydrocarbon production facility may involve receiving, via a processor, input data having one or more maps representative of an area, a plurality of sets of coordinates for a plurality of wells, and cost data associated with at least one of the plurality of components. The method may also involve determining a set of candidate components that corresponds to the plurality of locations based on the input data and an optimization algorithm and determining additional sets of candidate components that correspond to the plurality of locations based on the input data, the set of candidate locations, and the optimization algorithm. The method may then include generating one or more additional maps indicative of the plurality of locations for the plurality of components based on at least one of the one or more additional sets of candidate components.
