Compressional and shear sonic logs (DTC and DTS, respectively) are one of the effective means for determining petrophysical/geomechanical properties. However, the DTS log has limited availability mainly due to high acquisition costs. This study introduces a hybrid machine learning approach to generating synthetic DTS logs. Five wireline logs such as gamma ray (GR), density (RHOB), neutron poros…
Data-driven prediction of time series is significant in many scientific research fields such as global climate change and weather forecast. For global monthly mean temperature series, considering the strong potential of deep neural network for extracting data features, this paper proposes a data-driven model, ResGraphNet, which improves the prediction accuracy of time series by an embedded resi…
The polarity of first P-wave arrivals plays a significant role in the effective determination of focal mechanisms specially for smaller earthquakes. Manual estimation of polarities is not only time-consuming but also prone to human errors. This warrants a need for an automated algorithm for first motion polarity determination. We present a deep learning model - PolarCAP that uses an autoencoder…
Machine learning (ML) to predict lithofacies from sparse suites of well-log data is difficult in laterally and vertically heterogeneous reservoir formations in oil and gas fields. Meandering, braided fluviatile depositional environments tend to form clastic sequences with laterally discontinuous layers due to the continuous shifting of relatively narrow sandstone channels. Three cored wellbores…
Estimation of good velocity models under complex near-surface conditions remains a topic of ongoing research. We propose to predict near-surface velocity profiles from surface-waves transformed to phase velocity-frequency panels in a data-driven manner using deep neural networks. This is a different approach from many recent works that attempt to estimate velocity from directly reflected body w…
Among the biggest challenges we face in utilizing neural networks trained on waveform (i.e., seismic, electromagnetic, or ultrasound) data is its application to real data. The requirement for accurate labels often forces us to train our networks using synthetic data, where labels are readily available. However, synthetic data often fail to capture the reality of the field/real experiment, and w…
Machine learning provides a powerful alternative data-driven approach to accomplish many petrophysical tasks from subsurface data. It can assimilate information from large and rich data bases and infer relations, rules, and knowledge hidden in the data. When the physics behind data becomes extremely complex, inexplicit, or even unclear/unknown, machine learning approaches have the advantage of …
Seismic data interpolation, especially irregularly sampled data interpolation, is a critical task for seismic processing and subsequent interpretation. Recently, with the development of machine learning and deep learning, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are applied for interpolating irregularly sampled seismic data. CNN based approaches can address the apparent defects of traditional inter…
The aim of the current work is to compare susceptibility maps of landslides produced using machine learning techniques i.e. multilayer perception neural nets (MLP), kernel logistic regression (KLR), random forest (RF), and multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS); novel ensemble approaches i.e. MLP-Bagging, KLR-Bagging, RF-Bagging and MARS-Bagging in the Kurseong-Himalayan region. For th…
We propose to use a Few-Shot Learning (FSL) method for the pre-stack seismic inversion problem in obtaining a high resolution reservoir model from recorded seismic data. Recently, artificial neural network (ANN) demonstrates great advantages for seismic inversion because of its powerful feature extraction and parameter learning ability. Hence, ANN method could provide a high resolution inversio…
