Deep Learning for Revolutionizing Seismic Data Processing

Seismic data processing is the backbone of the seismic exploration industry. In the era of AI and deep learning, the methods of seismic data processing have undergone a tremendous revolution. This course will help the audience (potentially students and seismic processing practitioners in the oil and gas industry) stay up-to-date with the latest advances in deep-learning-based seismic data processing.

Duration

Two half days

Intended Audience

Students, young professionals, seismic data processing

Prerequisites (Knowledge/Experience/Education Required)

Basic knowledge of machine learning, deep learning, and supervised/unsupervised learning methods.

Course Summary

Deep learning has achieved numerous successes in all aspects of seismic exploration, particularly in labor-intensive seismic processing tasks such as first-arrival picking and NMO velocity picking.  In this course, we will provide an overview of the most state-of-the-art applications of deep learning in common tasks spanning the entire seismic data processing workflow and guide the audience through a deep dive into the implementation details of mainstream deep learning approaches for advanced seismic data processing.

The following processing tasks will be covered:

  1. Automatic first arrival picking for traveltime tomography;
  2. Seismic data denoising for random, regular, and erratic noise;
  3. Seismic data reconstruction from regular, irregular, and aliased grids;
  4. Multiples attenuation;
  5. NMO velocity picking;
  6. Seismic resolution enhancement. The intention of this course is to equip the audience with the basic principles of deep-learning-based seismic data processing and guide them in developing more

Learner Outcomes

Learners will be able to:

  1. Be able to mathematically define the deep learning problems of common seismic processing tasks
  2. Be able to write simple codes to reproduce the SOTA deep learning approaches for seismic processing
  3. Be able to get access to the mainstream open datasets for training deep-learning models
  4. Be able to design an advanced deep learning approach for solving a seismic processing problem
