1. A method for well planning incorporating well completion design in a collaborative environment, comprising:

  • specifying one or more wellpath parameters defining a wellpath to at least one target within an earth model stored in memory;

    specifying one or more completion parameters defining a completion operation;

    simulating the completion operations using the earth model based on the wellpath parameters and the completion parameters to generate a set of well performance measures;

    determining whether the well performance measures are within defined well performance technical limits;

    if the well performance measures are within the defined well performance technical limits, optimizing well placement within the earth model stored in memory in order to maximize an objective function; and

    if the well performance measures are not within the defined well performance technical limits, adjusting one of the wellpath parameters, the completion parameters, and any combination thereof to generate adjusted parameters and repeating the simulating operations utilizing the adjusted parameters.
