  • Publication number: 20190162868
    Abstract: A method for detecting an unknown fault in a target seismic volume. The method includes generating a number of patches from a training seismic volume that is separate from the target seismic volume, where a patch includes a set of training areas, generating a label for assigning to the patch, where the label represents a subset, of the set of training areas, intersected by an known fault specified by a user in the training seismic volume, training, during a training phase and based at least on the label and the training seismic volume, a machine learning model, and generating, by applying the machine learning model to the target seismic volume during a prediction phase subsequent to the training phase, a result to identify the unknown fault in the target seismic volume.

  • Patent number: 9869785
    Abstract: Systems and methods for speed-adjustable model navigation are provided. In aspects, a model platform includes a model engine and a speed tool that operates with the model engine to generate a graphical view of a geological model. Various features of the geological object may be encoded or reflected in the geological model, including the composition, pressure, temperate, structure, fracture lines, and other aspects of a hydrocarbon deposit, cavity, or other geological structure. The user may operate the speed tool to examine the histogram of color or intensity of the pixels or voxels of regions of the model view, and set a speed curve to control how quickly or slowly a cursor or other control may move through or traverse a region, based on the color, intensity, or other value. Regions of interest may be explored more efficiently and accurately.

  • Publication number: 20160104317
    Abstract: A method can include receiving points representative of at least a portion of a surface of a multi-dimensional geobody; partitioning the points; computing smooth compactly supported basis functions based at least in part on differential surface areas associated with the partitioning of the points; approximating an indicator function for a body based at least in part on the computed basis functions; and, based at least in part on values of the approximated indicator function, generating a mesh that represents a surface of the body.
