  • Patent number: 10990882
    Abstract: A system, method and program product for stratigraphic layer identification using a stratigraphic knowledge base for machine learning. Reservoir data includes seismic data and well log data for a reservoir area. The well log data is processed to identify well stratigraphic layer features and the seismic data is processed to identify seismic stratigraphic layer features. A feature matching algorithm based on a stratigraphic knowledge base is selected to match the well stratigraphic layer features to the seismic stratigraphic layer features. The matched features are used to define a stratigraphic layer interpretation for the reservoir area and the interpretation is presented to a user.

  • Patent number: 10977489
    Abstract: A system, method and program product for processing borehole images to delineate between natural fractures and induced fractures. A system is disclosed that includes: an image analysis platform that inputs a noisy image from a borehole, processes the image using a set of filtering strategies, and renders a set of suggested filtered images via a user interface, the user interface including a mechanism for allowing a user to choose a selected filtered image from the set of suggested filtered images that best delineates between natural fractures and induced fractures, and wherein the image analysis platform further includes a feedback system for packaging and outputting the noisy image and selected filtered image as feedback; and a learning platform having a knowledge registration system that collects and stores training data and the feedback and in a knowledgebase, and a machine learning system that generates filtering strategies.

  • Publication number: 20190251638
    Abstract: Identifying life events within social network feeds. The method may include receiving social media data. The method may include identifying life event data within the social media data. The method may include determining a life event probability score associated with a life event class for the life event data using metadata. The method may include assigning a first life event class to each item of life event data based on the life event probability score. The method may include creating conversations by grouping the life event data. The method may include extracting metadata. The method may include determining a conversation probability score for each conversation based on the metadata and the life event probability score associated with each item of life event data. The method may include assigning a second life event class based on the conversation probability score. The method may include displaying the conversations based on user preferences.
