During the past decade, the size of 3D seismic data volumes and the number of seismic
attributes have increased to the extent that it is difficult, if not impossible, for interpreters to …

This book presents the theory of machine learning (ML) algorithms and their applications to
geoscience problems. Geoscience problems include traveltime picking of seismograms by a …

The stacking velocity is often obtained manually. However, manually picking is inefficient
and is easily affected by subjective factors such as the priori information and the experience …

An accurate seismic facies analysis (SFA) can provide insight into the subsurface
sedimentary facies and has guiding significance for geological exploration. Many machine …

As an energy producer, gas hydrates present not only a drilling hazard for deeper, economic
targets, but also as a potential methane resource by themselves (Field and Barber 1993; …

Visual examination of seismic facies on large 3-D seismic data sets where there is little a
priori geological information can be time consuming and inaccurate. The process can be …
