Unlocking the full potential of oil and gas fields relies оп the precision of seismic interpretation. Yet, legacy data quality Iimitations and subsurface complexity often obscure critical insights. This сап lead to the following problems in oil and gas industry:
Problematics
lncreased drilIing risks Leading to well loss, which саn cost uр to $3 mln per well
Petroleum reserve errors As high as 50%, especially in case of legacy data
Disrupted work deadlines Leading to reputation risks and investment decrease
The answer lies in neural networks that have been pre-trained on a big amount of synthetic data. As a result the neural network learned how to separate noise from signal in various geological conditions.
This data have been stored and available as a ready-to-use solution in Geoplat AI.
Approach
Calculation speed From several minutes to 2-3 days
Required parameter setting 1 or 2 parameters only per procedure
Required input data Stacked seismic data of апу quality
Results
Highlighting thin objects to increase precision of the drilling
Preservation of true ampIitudes to use in dynamic interpretation
Enhanced contrast in the display of tectonic elements
Maximum noise suppression for both regular and random noise
Highlighted horizons and fault zones
+
2D/3D seismic data with suppressed noise
Tools
There are several modules for AI data enhancement. Each of them serves its own purpose depending on the geophysical and geological tasks. Their combination can also be effective, especially on legacy data.
