Migration techniques are an integral part of seismic imaging workflows. Least-squares reverse time migration (LSRTM) overcomes some the shortcomings conventional algorithms by compensating for illumination and removing sampling artifacts to increase spatial resolution. However, computational cost associated with iterative LSRTM is high convergence can be slow in complex media. We implement prestack a deep-learning framework adopt strategies from data science domain accelerate convergence....
Abstract Hydrocarbon resource identification process involves significant endeavors and persistent efforts to identify sweet spots economical discoveries. To help streamline the better support subsurface teams, a suite of machine learning models have been piloted for integration into workflow. This paper introduces sub-process classification automatic prediction reservoir rock facies types based on acquired sample well logs. We present results from synthesized dataset formation with series...
Abstract In this paper, we developed an innovative machine learning (ML) method to determine salt structures directly from gravity data. Based on a U-net deep neural network, the maps downward continuation volume body mask volume, which is easily interpretable for exploration geophyisicist. We also studied feasibility apply different field conclude that ML based data complements seismic processing and interpretation subsurface exploration. For region where no or limited are available,...
Abstract Machine Learning (ML) has proved successful in various applications and delivered tremendous value across numerous domains. ML turns data into knowledge intelligence, that can be used to make the right business decisions. The application of energy industry is increasing rapidly. This includes but not limited manufacturing, refining, distribution, other related Due unique diverse domain requirements, AI solutions must extensively customized. These specific requirements usually lead...
Abstract Effective well management and a productive wellwork program are valuable integral business objectives. Wellwork involves various interventions optimisation activities for enhancing extending hydrocarbon production. These remedial processes involve substantial CAPEX OPEX, as other resource allocations. Failure to prioritize objectives improper selection of candidate wells can have significant implications on both derived value potential risk. A primary challenge is ensure that...
Abstract To store CO2 in depleted oil and gas fields or saline aquifers, a detailed site assessment is typically done manually, which time-consuming costly, as there are large number of older wells with poor quality records. The study presented here will leverage cloud computing artificial intelligence (AI) tools like Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Natural Language Processing (NLP) to automate the legacy well for efficient decision-making storage selection, thus reducing human effort....
