What is it about?

We trained shallow and deep machine learning algorithms with well dynamic data and post-stack seismic multi-attributes to predict carbonate reservoir productivity during early exploration phase in E&P projects.

Why is it important?

The seismic amplitude response is not unique. Furthermore, reliable seismic inversion data is not available during early exploration phases. On the other hand, post-stack seismic attributes can be derived from highly available fullstack amplitude volumes and be used as inputs for machine learning algorithms for prediction of inportant reservoir properties obtained during drill stem test such as flow capacity and productivity index.

Perspectives

Our method has demonstrated that it is possible to predict reservoir productivity using post stack seismic attributes with performance of uo to 85% using random forest regression. Multi-layer perceptron regression yielded to a 75% at a 30x higher computational cost. It has the power to de-risk the reservoir presence and deliverability during the early phase of exploration projects and, thus, adding economical value to them.
