Abstract [English]

Even with previous works having studied about the accuracy and objective function of several nonhyperbolic multiparametric travel-time approximations for velocity analysis, they lack tests concerning different optimization algorithms and how they influence the accuracy and processing time. Once many approximations were tested and found the multimodal one which presented the best accuracy results, it is possible to perform a velocity analysis with different global search optimization algorithms. The minimization of the curve calculated with the converted wave moveout equation to the observed curve can be done for each optimization algorithm selected in this work. The travel-time curves tested here are the PP and PS reflection events coming from the interface of the top of an offshore ultra-deep reservoir. After the inversion routine have been performed, it is possible to define the processing time and the accuracy of each optimization algorithm for this kind of problem.
