STRUCTURED REPRESENTATIONS OF SUBSURFACE FEATURES FOR HYDROCARBON SYSTEM AND GEOLOGICAL REASONING

摘要

A method and apparatus for utilizing a structured representation of a subsurface region. A method includes obtaining subsurface data for the subsurface region; and extracting the structured representation from the seismic data by: identifying geologic and fluid objects in the seismic images, wherein each object corresponds to a node of the structured representation; and identifying relationships among the identified geologic and fluid objects, wherein each relationship corresponds to an edge of the structured representation. A method further includes determining object attributes, edge attributes, and/or global attributes from the subsurface data. A method further includes inferring information from the structured representation.
