During the past decade, size of 3D seismic data volumes and number attributes have increased to extent that it is difficult, if not impossible, for interpreters examine every line time slice. To address this problem, several facies classification algorithms including [Formula: see text]-means, self-organizing maps, generative topographic mapping, support vector machines, Gaussian mixture models, artificial neural networks been successfully used extract features geologic interest from...
Summary Petroleum reservoirs are often associated with multiple target zones or a single zone adjacent to nonproductive intervals. Real-time geosteering therefore becomes important remain in dynamically steer toward target. This requires knowledge of the petrophysical/rock mechanical properties rock surrounding bit. Although logging while drilling can provide this information, cost-effective and almost-real-time solution is lacking. In general, there depth lag, therefore, time delay, between...
Machine learning models have been widely used by geoscientists to accelerate their interpretation and highlight hidden patterns in data. However, as the complexity of model increases, results can become quite challenging. The SHAP technique provides a measure importance each input seismic attributes on model's output.

During the past two decades, geoscientists have used machine learning (ML) to produce a more quantitative reservoir characterization and discover hidden patterns in their data. However, as complexity of these models increases, sensitivity results choice input data becomes challenging. Measuring how model uses perform either classification or regression task provides an understanding data-to-geology relationships which indicates confident we are prediction. To provide such insight, ML...

Being nonlinear supervised learning technique, SVM provides superior estimation than traditional multi-linear regression. Using to automatically estimate TOC content limited number pre-existing measurements, proposed method delivers convenient and relatively accurate resource where core measurements...

In this paper we illustrate unsupervised and supervised learning algorithms that accurately classify the lithological variations in 3D seismic data. We demonstrate blind source separation techniques such as principal components (PCA) noise adjusted conjunction with Kohonen Self organizing maps to produce superior classification maps. Further, utilize PCA space training Maximum likelihood (ML) classification. Results ML produces an improved of facies dataset from Anadarko basin central Oklahoma.
In this paper, we propose spatio-spectral processing techniques for the detection of dust storms and automatically finding its transport direction in 5-band NOAA-AVHRR imagery. Previous methods that use simple band math analysis have produced promising results but drawbacks producing consistent when low signal to noise ratio (SNR) images are used. Moreover, seeking automate storm detection, presence clouds vicinity creates a challenge being able distinguish these two types image texture....

Abstract Microseismic datasets typically have relatively low signal‐to‐noise ratio waveforms. To that end, several noise suppression techniques are often applied to improve the of recorded We apply a linear geometric mode decomposition approach microseismic for background suppression. The method optimizes patterns within amplitude–frequency modulated modes and can efficiently distinguish events (signal) from noise. This also split non‐linear dispersive seismic into modes. segmented in...

The E&P community, both in the industry and academia, is painfully aware of challenges complexity performing seismic interpretation reservoir characterization increasingly larger, more intricate, heterogeneous data sets. This increase size coupled with an emphasis on
Summary URTeC 1619856 Conventional reservoirs benefit from a long scientific history that correlates successful plays to seismic measurements through depositional, tectonic, and digenetic models. Unconventional are less well understood, however significantly denser control. Thus, allowing us establish statistical rather than model-based correlations between data, geology, completion strategies. One of the more commonly encountered correlation techniques is based on computer assisted pattern...
