Review on Particle Swarm Optimization Approach for Optimizing Wellbore Trajectory

Abstract

Due to a variety of possible good types and so many complex drilling variables and constraints, optimization of the trajectory of a complex wellbore is very challenging. There are several types of wells, such as directional wells, horizontal wells, redrilling wells, complex structure wells, cluster wells, and extended reach wells. This reduction of the wellbore length helps to establish cost-effective approaches that can be utilized to resolve a group of complex trajectory optimization challenges. For efficient performance (i.e., quickly locating global optima while taking the smallest amount of computational time), we have to identify flexible control parameters. This research will try to develop a review of the various (particle swarm optimization) PSO algorithm used to optimize deviated wellbore trajectories. This chapter helps to find out optimal wellbore trajectory optimization algorithms that can close the technology gap by giving a useful method. This method can generate a solution automatically.
