Accelerating Discovery with Machine Learning & Geophysical Intelligence

Performance Highlights

  • High-Accuracy Prospect Identification:
    • Achieves 90%+ precision in hydrocarbon prediction by integrating seismic, gravity, magnetic, and well log data.
    • Reduces false positives by 40% compared to conventional methods.
  • Rapid Data Processing:
    • Analyzes terabytes of 3D seismic data in hours (vs. weeks manually) using distributed AI algorithms.
    • Real-time interpretation with <5ms latency for interactive decision-making.
  • Risk Mitigation:
    • Quantifies uncertainty through probabilistic modeling (Monte Carlo simulations).
    • Flags low-potential zones to minimize dry-well costs.

Compatibility & Integration

  • Seismic Data Formats: Supports SEG-Y, SEG-D, LAS, and DLIS for seamless ingestion.
  • Third-Party Software Integration:
    • Petrel™ (Schlumberger), Kingdom® (IHS Markit), OpenWorks® (Halliburton) via APIs.
    • Cloud Platforms: AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage for scalable data handling.
  • GIS & Geospatial Tools:
    • Exports results to ArcGIS, QGIS for map-based visualization.
    • WMS/WFS compliant for interoperability with government geological surveys.

How It Works:

  1. Data Fusion & Preprocessing:
    • Ingests multi-source data (seismic surveys, legacy well logs, satellite imagery).
    • AI cleans noisy data (de-multiple, migration artifacts) automatically.
  2. AI-Driven Interpretation:
    • Fault & Horizon Detection:
      • Uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to identify subtle geological features.
      • Maps fault lines with <1m resolution in complex salt basins.
    • Reservoir Characterization:
      • Predicts porosity, permeability, and fluid saturation via ensemble ML models (Random Forest, XGBoost).
    • Play Fairway Analysis:
      • Prioritizes high-potential zones using basin modeling and analogs.
  3. Decision Support:
    • Generates ranked drill targets with ROI estimates.
    • Interactive 3D visualization of reservoirs with risk heatmaps.

Technical Advantages

  • Algorithm Transparency:
    • “Explainable AI” modules detail why a zone was flagged (e.g., “High amplitude anomaly + AVO Class II response”).
  • Edge Deployment:
    • Runs on ruggedized field laptops for real-time interpretation during seismic acquisition.
  • Regulatory Compliance:
    • Adheres to SEC/Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) standards for resource reporting.

Outcome: 30–50% faster exploration cycles20% higher discovery rates, and reduced leasing costs via targeted bids.
