  • Geological data assessment system
    Patent number: 11269114
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods to assess geological data. The method includes obtaining data associated with a geological state of a geological entity. The method also includes assessing a nature of a geological age constraint of the geological entity. The method further includes generating a first probability distribution of a geological age of the geological entity based on the nature of the geological age constraint of the geological entity. The method further includes selecting a time of interest for analysis of the geological entity. The method further includes assessing a nature of the geological age constraint during the time of interest. The method further includes generating a second probability distribution for the time of interest. The method further includes determining a likelihood that the geological age constraint of the geological entity coincides with the time of interest.
