A system and method of generating a wellbore layout are disclosed herein. A computing system receives, from a client device, one or more parameters associated with a target location for the target wellbore layout. The computing system receives, from the client device, one or more constraints for the target wellbore layout. The computing system generates a plurality target wellbore layout based on the parameters and constraints in accordance with a plurality of configurations as defined by one or more genetic algorithms. The computing system evaluates each target wellbore layout to generate an overall fitness score. The computing system selects a target wellbore layout with the highest scoring score of each generated overall fitness score, repeating the process until an optimal wellbore layout is selected.
