Summary Nowadays, the question of a quick solution for the a priori statics calculation issue remains acute. In this regard, the search for a solution to reduce the first breaks picking time is a crucial task. The perfect option for processing is a fully automatic picking procedure with virtually zero involvement of the processing operator. Thus, the task of this report is to determine the optimal tool for automatically first breaks picking. As a result of testing several modern software algorithms, the Flatirons Refraction Statics software package (Threshold Auto Picker, mostly the Delay Time Stack Prediction) and the NN_TRAINING and NN_FIRST_BREAK_PICK neural network modules in the Omega Schlumberger 2019.1 software package have chosen as the preferred options for automatic first breaks picking. They are also can be used together in different combinations.
