Patent number: 11846748Abstract: This disclosure presents a fault prediction system using a deep learning neural network, such as a convolutional neural network. The fault prediction system utilizes as input seismic data, and then derives various seismic attributes from the seismic data. In various aspects, the seismic attributes can be normalized and have importance coefficients determined. A sub-set of seismic attributes can be selected to reduce computing resources and processing time. The deep learning neural network can utilize the seismic data and seismic attributes to determine parameterized results representing fault probabilities. The fault prediction system can utilize the fault probabilities to determine fault predictions which can be represented as a predicted new seismic data, such as using a three-dimensional image.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2020Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Landmark Graphics Corporation, Inc.Inventors: Fan Jiang, Phil Norlund

Patent number: 11847039Abstract: System and methods are disclosed herein for creating interaction path records using time thresholds between interaction paths. The system retrieves the time threshold and a plurality of user interaction records that each include a timestamp. The system sorts the plurality of user interaction records based on the timestamp. The system then identifies the path-start record as being separated from a prior interaction by an amount of time that exceeds the time threshold. The system identifies the path-end record as being separated from a subsequent interaction by an amount of time that exceeds the time threshold. The system creates an interaction path record, stores that records, and generates a summary with information about the path.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Michael Dean Hoffman, Christopher Ambrozic

Multi-scale unsupervised seismic velocity inversion method based on autoencoder for observation data
Patent number: 11828894Abstract: A multi-scale unsupervised seismic velocity inversion method based on an autoencoder for observation data. Large-scale information is extracted by the autoencoder, which is used for guiding an inversion network to complete the recovery of different-scale features in a velocity model, thereby reducing the non-linearity degree of inversion. A trained encoder part is embedded into the network to complete the extraction of seismic observation data information at the front end, so it can better analyze the information contained in seismic data, the mapping relationship between the data and velocity model is established better, then the inversion method is unsupervised, and location codes are added to the observation data to assist the network in perceiving the layout form of an observation system, which facilitates practical engineering application. Thus a relatively accurate inversion result of the seismic velocity model when no real geological model serves as a network training label can be achieved.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: SHANDONG UNIVERSITYInventors: Bin Liu, Yuxiao Ren, Peng Jiang, Senlin Yang, Qingyang Wang, Xinji Xu, Duo Li -
