FACILITATING HYDROCARBON EXPLORATION AND EXTRACTION BY APPLYING A MACHINE-LEARNING MODEL TO SEISMIC DATA
Hydrocarbon exploration and extraction can be facilitated using machine-learning models. For example, a system described herein can receive seismic data indicating locations of geological bodies in a target area of a subterranean formation. The system can provide the seismic data as input to a trained machine-learning model for determining whether the target area of the subterranean formation includes one or more types of geological bodies. The system can receive an output from the trained machine-learning model indicating whether or not the target area of the subterranean formation includes the one or more types of geological bodies. The system can then execute one or more processing operations for facilitating hydrocarbon exploration or extraction based on the seismic data and the output from the trained machine-learning model.
Enhancing seismic images
A method of enhancing seismic images includes receiving a seismic gather. The seismic gather includes a plurality of seismic traces. A feature trace is generated based on the plurality of seismic traces in the seismic gather. For each of the plurality of seismic traces in the seismic gather, a correlation trace is generated based on that seismic trace and the feature trace, the correlation trace is modified using an activation function, and an enhanced trace is generated by multiplying that seismic trace with the modified correlation trace.
