Geobodies Detection

Geological bodies (reefs, channels, diapirs) form complex reservoirs whose morphology and internal structure determine the volume of reserves and the development strategy. The detection and interpretation of their boundaries is a time-consuming and subjective process that depends on the specialist's experience.


Their inaccurate localization is critical and leads to the following consequences:

Problematics
Financial losses
Misleading correct drilling with loosing on one well up to $3 mln
False rock properties
Leading to poor oil recovery factor from many wells
Simplified reservoir models
Resulting in errors of reserves estimation up to 50%
Geoplat AI technology automatically and accurately identifies the boundaries of geological bodies, creating a 3D model that reflects their true morphology and internal heterogeneity.

Transfer learning technology allows you to apply interpretator’s knowledge of the geology. Therefore, the solution is combining ML algorithms and human vision on the data.
Approach
Calculation speed
From several hours to 2-3 days
Required parameter setting
1 or 2 parameters only per procedure
Required input data
  • Stacked seismic data of any quality;
  • Manual geobody picks on 2–5 sections of the volume
Results
