Method for delineating hydrocarbon accumulations from seismic data

摘要

An automated method of predicting locations of hydrocarbon producing areas and non-producing areas in a field directly from seismic data acquired in the field comprises developing a neural network using seismic training data relating to one or more hydrocarbon producing areas and seismic training data relating to one or more hydrocarbon non-producing areas and applying the neural network to at least a portion of the seismic data to generate predictions of locations of hydrocarbon producing areas and hydrocarbon non-producing areas of the area A method of automatically delineating hydrocarbon accumulations from data relating to the existence of hydrocarbon accumulations comprises developing a neural network within a conceptual sliding window to distinguish hydrocarbon producing areas and hydrocarbon non-producing areas, wherein the neural network is developed without using historical data and applying the neural network to at least a portion of the seismic data to distinguish hydrocarbon producing areas and hydrocarbon non-producing areas.
