Significant Advancement in Seismic Reservoir Characterization with Machine Learning
Rocky Roden and Patricia Santogrossi
The application of machine to classify seismic attributes at single sample resolution enhancing reservoir characterization.
Compare Seismic Amplitude to SOM Classification
Check out these striking comparisons of SOM classifications in various geologic settings to original amplitude data 
Paradise uses robust, non-linear machine learning technology to classify patterns in multiple attributes simultaneously, thereby extracting more information from the seismic response, even below classic seismic tuning. Use Paradise to:
Discover how Paradise can increase interpretation effectiveness, identify the extent of reservoirs more accurately, and evaluate leaseholds with confidence.

What is Machine Learning?
Coined in 1959 by Arthur Samuel, “Machine learning (ML) is a field of artificial intelligence that uses statistical techniques to give computer systems the ability to “learn” (e.g., progressively improve performance on a specific task) from data, without being explicitly programmed.”

Guided ThoughtFlowsTM
Paradise enables every interpreter to use powerful machine learning processes through straight forward, left-to-right guided workflows. Learn more about how to set up and generate a PCA chart of attributes and SOM classification results, then use the unique 2D Colormap with the 3D Viewer to interpret geobodies.
“Paradise distills a variety of information from many attributes simultaneously at single sample resolution… This is one of the many differences in the application of machine learning and pattern recognition methods available in Paradise.”
