Improved Kriging for Drilling Visualization Based on Quantum Genetic Algorithm

To realize drilling visualization, an effective interpolation method is essential to construct three-dimensional model. Kriging is an effective interpolation method commonly used by geologists. However, the variogram model parameters in traditional Kriging have a certain subjectivity, which will influence the accuracy of interpolation. Quantum Genetic Algorithm (QGA) is introduced to optimize the variogram model parameters selection in this paper. Elevation values of boreholes are used as data sets for simulation. The results show that the proposed improved Kriging has a better prediction accuracy.
