  • Patent number: 11754736
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for seismic facies identification including receiving a seismic dataset representative of a subsurface volume of interest; applying a model conditioned by petrophysical classifications to the seismic dataset to identify seismic facies and generate a classified seismic image; and identifying geologic features based on the classified seismic image. The method generates seismic facies probability volumes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11409013
    Abstract: A method is described for property estimation including receiving a seismic dataset representative of a subsurface volume of interest and a well log from a well location within the subsurface volume of interest; identifying seismic traces in the seismic dataset that correspond to the well location to obtain a subset of seismic traces; windowing the subset of seismic traces and the well log to generate windowed seismic traces and a windowed well log; multiplying the windowed seismic traces and the windowed well log by a random matrix to generate a plurality of training datasets; and training a neural network using the plurality of training datasets. The method may be executed by a computer system.

  • Patent number: 11231513
    Abstract: Systems and methods for training a model that refines estimated parameter values include computer processors and non-transitory electronic storage that stores subsurface map data sets that correspond to different subsurface volumes of interest, the system configured to obtain training data including unrefined subsurface map data sets specifying estimated parameter values of a first parameter as a function of position within corresponding subsurface volumes of interest, obtain an initial seismic mapping model, generate a conditioned seismic mapping model, and store the conditioned seismic mapping model in the electronic storage.
