Live Broadcast | Advantages of ML over Seismic Inversion for Reservoir Characterization

Scroll past the webinar details to register.

Webinar Details

Alvaro Chaveste and Rocky Roden will present a new Machine Learning (ML) methodology for Reservoir Characterization that is done at a fraction of the costs and time to seismic inversion. The ML methodology is based on computing Self Organized Maps (SOM), an unsupervised form of ML, and cross-referencing these to lithofacies from petrophysical logs. The methodology, tested using synthetic seismic data and applied to the U.S. Niobrara formation, defines the lithofacies of interest at high resolution.
