Abstract

Summary

Subsurface seismic imaging is essential for exploration and reservoir assessment, but it often has poor resolution because of acquisition technologies imperfection, geological complexities, and noise presence. Traditional enhancement methods are ineffective due to mathematical constraints, on the other hand data-driven approaches offer more flexibility. This study presents a deep learning-based seismic image enhancement algorithm based on modified U-Net architecture trained on specifically generated synthetic data. The broad variety of generated synthetics capture the intricate patterns of the field and completely mimic its geological and stratigraphic features. The proposed methodology requires no well data, no manual adjustment and ensures uniform improvements throughout the whole field. Tests of the proposed algorithm application on the real-field data confirm its effectiveness in enhancing resolution and enabling more accurate geological interpretations.
