P. R. Shiryaev, G. A. Tsvetkov

Abstract


Ant colony optimization algorithm for construction of the optimal well trajectory is considered. The description of the ant colony optimization algorithm is shown, and the optimization criterion is defined. The examples of the ant colony algorithm application are presented. It is shown that when the correct parameters are chosen, the algorithm works effectively. Two main parameters of the algorithm were defined. The problem of transfer of the solution from the discrete to the continuous space was identified.

Keywords


optimal trajectory; ant colony optimization algorithm; formation
