A comparative study of several metaheuristic algorithms for optimizing complex 3-D well-path designs
Abstract Considering the importance of cost reduction in the petroleum industry, especially in drilling operations, this study focused on the minimization of the well-path length, for complex well designs, compares the performance of several metaheuristic evolutionary algorithms. Genetic, ant colony...
