Abstract

The use of optimization algorithms to improve the performance of reservoir engineering systems and production operations has a long and successful history. Likewise, optimization has been applied to seismic processing problems for many years, generally via the least-squares method. More recently, investigations have focused on the use of a new class of advanced optimization methods for near-surface statics computations, velocity analysis, and seismic inversion.
