Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
inputting realizations of a model of a reservoir that comprises at least one well into a computing system comprising a processor, wherein the realizations represent an uncertainty in a multidimensional space;
wherein the processor is configured to reduce run-time overhead by:
selecting a portion of the realizations in a reduced dimensional space to maintain a same amount of the uncertainty,
wherein the portion of realizations is less than a number of the realizations, and
wherein the same amount of the uncertainty is maintained by using multidimensional scaling of the realizations to reduce dimensionality of the realizations,
generating a parameter value by performing a preliminary optimization of an objective function that is based on the portion of the realizations,
running, based on the parameter value, the model to generate a field operations plan; and

adjusting operation of one or more pieces of wellbore equipment based on the field operations plan generated from the model to maximize production of hydrocarbons from one or more reservoirs.
