Incremental semi-supervised learning for intelligent seismic facies identification

Intelligent seismic facies identification based on deep learning can alleviate the time-consuming and labor-intensive problem of manual interpretation,which has been widely applied.Supervised learning can realize facies identification with high efficiency and accuracy;however,it depends on the usage of a large amount of well-labeled data.To solve this issue,we propose herein an incremental semi-supervised method for intelligent facies identification.Our method considers the continuity of the lateral variation of strata and uses cosine similarity to quantify the similarity of the seismic data feature domain.The maximum-diff erence sample in the neighborhood of the currently used training data is then found to reasonably expand the training sets.This process continuously increases the amount of training data and learns its distribution.We integrate old knowledge while absorbing new ones to realize incremental semi-supervised learning and achieve the purpose of evolving the network models.In this work,accuracy and confusion matrix are employed to jointly control the predicted results of the model from both overall and partial aspects.The obtained values are then applied to a three-dimensional(3D)real dataset and used to quantitatively evaluate the results.Using unlabeled data,our proposed method acquires more accurate and stable testing results compared to conventional supervised learning algorithms that only use well-labeled data.A considerable improvement for small-sample categories is also observed.Using less than 1%of the training data,the proposed method can achieve an average accuracy of over 95%on the 3D dataset.In contrast,the conventional supervised learning algorithm achieved only approximately 85%.

DiTing:A large-scale Chinese seismic benchmark dataset for artificial intelligence in seismology

In recent years,artificial intelligence technology has exhibited great potential in seismic signal recognition,setting off a new wave of research.Vast amounts of high-quality labeled data are required to develop and apply artificial intelligence in seismology research.In this study,based on the 2013–2020 seismic cataloging reports of the China Earthquake Networks Center,we constructed an artificial intelligence seismological training dataset(“DiTing”)with the largest known total time length.Data were recorded using broadband and short-period seismometers.The obtained dataset included 2,734,748 threecomponent waveform traces from 787,010 regional seismic events,the corresponding P-and S-phase arrival time labels,and 641,025 P-wave first-motion polarity labels.All waveforms were sampled at 50 Hz and cut to a time length of 180 s starting from a random number of seconds before the occurrence of an earthquake.Each three-component waveform contained a considerable amount of descriptive information,such as the epicentral distance,back azimuth,and signal-to-noise ratios.The magnitudes of seismic events,epicentral distance,signal-to-noise ratio of P-wave data,and signal-to-noise ratio of S-wave data ranged from 0 to 7.7,0 to 330 km,–0.05 to 5.31 dB,and–0.05 to 4.73 dB,respectively.The dataset compiled in this study can serve as a high-quality benchmark for machine learning model development and data-driven seismological research on earthquake detection,seismic phase picking,first-motion polarity determination,earthquake magnitude prediction,early warning systems,and strong ground-motion prediction.Such research will further promote the development and application of artificial intelligence in seismology.

Intelligent identification method and application of seismic faults based on a balanced classification network

This study combined fault identification with a deep learning algorithm and applied a convolutional neural network(CNN)design based on an improved balanced crossentropy(BCE)loss function to address the low accuracy in the intelligent identification of seismic faults and the slow training speed of convolutional neural networks caused by unbalanced training sample sets.The network structure and optimal hyperparameters were determined by extracting feature maps layer by layer and by analyzing the results of seismic feature extraction.The BCE loss function was used to add the parameter which is the ratio of nonfaults to the total sample sets,thereby changing the loss function to find the reference of the minimum weight parameter and adjusting the ratio of fault to nonfault data.The method overcame the unbalanced number of sample sets and improved the iteration speed.After a brief training,the accuracy could reach more than 95%,and gradient descent was evident.The proposed method was applied to fault identification in an oilfield area.The trained model can predict faults clearly,and the prediction results are basically consistent with an actual case,verifying the effectiveness and adaptability of the method.

Seismic description and fluid identification of thin reservoirs in Shengli Chengdao extra-shallow sea oilfield

The meandering channel deposit of the upper member of Neogene Guantao Formation in Shengli Chengdao extra-shallow sea oilfield is characterized by rapid change in sedimentary facies.In addition,affected by surface tides and sea water reverberation,the double sensor seismic data processed by conventional methods has low signal-to-noise ratio and low resolution,and thus cannot meet the needs of seismic description and oil-bearing fluid identification of thin reservoirs less than 10 meters thick in this area.The two-step high resolution frequency bandwidth expanding processing technology was used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and resolution of the seismic data,as a result,the dominant frequency of the seismic data was enhanced from 30 Hz to 50 Hz,and the sand body thickness resolution was enhanced from 10 m to 6 m.On the basis of fine layer control by seismic data,three types of seismic facies models,floodplain,natural levee and point bar,were defined,and the intelligent horizon-facies controlled recognition technology was worked out,which had a prediction error of reservoir thickness of less than 1.5 m.Clearly,the description accuracy of meandering channel sand bodies has been improved.The probability semi-quantitative oiliness identification method of fluid by prestack multi-parameters has been worked out by integrating Poisson’s ratio,fluid factor,product of Lame parameter and density,and other prestack elastic parameters,and the method has a coincidence rate of fluid identification of more than 90%,providing solid technical support for the exploration and development of thin reservoirs in Shengli Chengdao extra-shallow sea oilfield,which is expected to provide reference for the exploration and development of similar oilfields in China.

Review of Artificial Intelligence for Oil and Gas Exploration: Convolutional Neural Network Approaches and the U-Net 3D Model

Deep learning, especially through convolutional neural networks (CNN) such as the U-Net 3D model, has revolutionized fault identification from seismic data, representing a significant leap over traditional methods. Our review traces the evolution of CNN, emphasizing the adaptation and capabilities of the U-Net 3D model in automating seismic fault delineation with unprecedented accuracy. We find: 1) The transition from basic neural networks to sophisticated CNN has enabled remarkable advancements in image recognition, which are directly applicable to analyzing seismic data. The U-Net 3D model, with its innovative architecture, exemplifies this progress by providing a method for detailed and accurate fault detection with reduced manual interpretation bias. 2) The U-Net 3D model has demonstrated its superiority over traditional fault identification methods in several key areas: it has enhanced interpretation accuracy, increased operational efficiency, and reduced the subjectivity of manual methods. 3) Despite these achievements, challenges such as the need for effective data preprocessing, acquisition of high-quality annotated datasets, and achieving model generalization across different geological conditions remain. Future research should therefore focus on developing more complex network architectures and innovative training strategies to refine fault identification performance further. Our findings confirm the transformative potential of deep learning, particularly CNN like the U-Net 3D model, in geosciences, advocating for its broader integration to revolutionize geological exploration and seismic analysis.
