PHYSICS-DRIVEN DEEP LEARNING INVERSION COUPLED TO FLUID FLOW SIMULATORS
A method for a physics-driven deep learning-based inversion coupled to fluid flow simulators may include obtaining measured data for a subsurface region, obtaining prior subsurface data for the subsurface region, and obtaining a physics-driven standard regularized joint inversion for at least two model parameters.
