Abstract: A method includes receiving seismic data and an initial velocity model, generating a first seismic image based at least in part on the seismic data and the initial velocity model, training a machine learning model to predict salt masks based at least in part on seismic images, merging the initial velocity model and the first salt mask to generate a first modified velocity model, generating an updated velocity model based at least in part on the first modified velocity model, generating a second seismic image based at least in part on the updated velocity model, predicting a second salt mask based at least in part on the second seismic image and the updated velocity model, using the trained machine learning model, and merging the updated velocity model and the second salt mask to generate a second modified velocity model.

Abstract: A method for modeling a subterranean volume includes receiving seismic data comprising a signal, generating a semblance in the frequency-wavenumber domain for the seismic data, wherein the semblance represents a coherence of the signal in the frequency-wavenumber domain, extracting one or more wave energy modes in the semblance using a machine learning model trained to identify dispersion curves in the semblance based on a visible characteristic of the dispersion curves, and generating a model representing surface wave propagation based at least in part on the identified one or more wave energy modes.

Abstract: A method includes determining a top of salt (TOS) surface in a seismic volume based on a crossline direction of the seismic volume and an inline direction of the seismic volume. The method also includes determining a binary mask based upon the TOS surface. The method also includes sampling seismic data in the seismic volume to obtain a training seismic slice. The method also includes sampling the binary mask to obtain a mask slice. The method also includes selecting a first coordinate in the training seismic slice to produce a first tile. The method also includes selecting a second coordinate in the mask slice to produce a second tile. The method also includes generating or updating a model of the seismic volume based upon the first tile and the second tile.
