Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
until convergence of an upper confidence bound algorithm:
selecting, based on the reward distribution for each of the well placement sequences in the set, a given well placement sequence;
performing, by the configured simulator and for the given well placement sequence, each action in the action space to determine:
a new reward for each of the actions based upon the calculated hydrocarbon recovery for the given well placement sequence, and
a new cost of the calculated hydrocarbon recovery for each of the actions for the given well placement sequence; and

updating, based on the new reward and the new cost for the given well placement sequence, the reward distribution for the given well placement sequence to generate an updated reward distribution for the given well placement sequence.
