TRAINING MACHINE LEARNING SYSTEMS FOR SEISMIC INTERPRETATION

摘要

A method and apparatus for seismic interpretation including machine learning (ML). A method of training a ML system for seismic interpretation includes: preparing a collection of seismic images as training data; training an interpreter ML model to learn to interpret the training data, wherein: the interpreter ML model comprises a geologic objective function, and the learning is regularized by one or more geologic priors; and training a discriminator ML model to learn the one or more geologic priors from the training data. A method of hydrocarbon management includes: training the ML system for seismic interpretation; obtaining test data comprising a second collection of seismic images; applying the trained ML system to the test data to generate output; and managing hydrocarbons based on the output. A method includes performing an inference on test data with the interpreter and discriminator ML models to generate a feature probability map representative of subsurface features.
