AUTOMATIC GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS TOPS PICKING USING DYNAMIC TIME WARPING (DTW)
Systems and methods include a method for predicting geological formation tops. First well log data associated with a key master well is received. Formation data identifying tops of formations confirmed in the key master well is received. Merged key master well and formation data is generated in a dynamic time warping (DTW)-readable format by merging the first well log data with the formation data. Second well log data associated with a training well located in geographic proximity to the key master well is received. The second well log data is formatted into the DTW-readable format. A DTW function is executed to generate indices associated with the formation tops. The DTW function uses the merged key master well and formation data and the formatted second well log data as DTW function inputs. Predicted geological formation tops for the training well are predicted using the generated indexes.

Near real-time return-on-fracturing-investment optimization for fracturing shale and tight reservoirs
Near real-time methodologies for maximizing return-on-fracturing-investment for shale fracturing. An example system can calculate, based on sonic data and density data, mechanical properties and closure stress of a portion of shale rocks for fracture modeling. The system can generate one or more rock mechanical models based on the mechanical properties and closure stress of the portion of shale rocks, and perform one or more fracture modeling simulations based on one or more treatment parameter values. Based on the one or more fracture modeling simulations, the system can generate a neural network model which predicts a fracture productivity indicator of an effective propped area (EPA) and/or an effective propped length (EPL), and calculate a return-on-fracturing-investment (ROFI) based on the EPA or EPL predicted by the neural network model.
Rock physics based method of integrated subsurface reservoir characterization for use in optimized stimulation design of horizontal wells
A procedure that integrates petrophysics and rock typing taken from vertical well measurements, 3D seismic elastic properties and seismic attributes, and geostatistical modeling to build a 3D reservoir model is provided. The 3D reservoir model may be directly incorporated into horizontal fracture model designs. The developed 3D reservoir model for a subsurface volume may be used in a fracture model to optimize fracturing designs and maximize well performance.
Mapping chemostratigraphic signatures of a reservoir with rock physics and seismic inversion
Mapping is performed of chemostratigraphic signatures of hydrocarbon reservoirs in three dimensions. Up-scaled chemostratigraphic data from well cuttings and well cores are tied with high-resolution elastic wireline data at well locations in the reservoir. The wireline data is used to determine suitable seismic attributes for mapping the desired chemostratigraphic property, and are obtained by performing pre- and/or post-stack inversions. A multi-attribute template, derived from the well data, is developed to characterize the reservoir in terms of its chemostratigraphic properties. The seismic data is then inverted to map the chemostratigraphic signatures of reservoir in three dimensions.
