Learn by solving real-world problems through hands-on exercises.

The future of the upstream industry lies in the adoption of innovative geoscience digitalization solutions to optimize operations. Machine learning applications for geoscience data have been in use for more than 25 years but have recently become critical due to massive growth in the amount of petrotechnical data being acquired. As machine learning evolves, it will play an increasingly visible role in analyzing surface and subsurface data.

The upstream oil and gas exploration and production industry is looking for ways to reduce costs while minimizing emissions, water use and other environmental impacts. Near-field exploration and development enables producers to leverage already depreciated costs in operating infrastructure and extend the life of a declining field by accessing new or previously bypassed reservoirs.

Global energy companies trust the AspenTech® Subsurface Science & Engineering portfolio to solve their most complex exploration and production challenges while reducing geological risks and minimizing impact on the environment.

Full azimuth angle domain imaging provides an alternate way to map events in structurally complex areas. Information about continuous surfaces can be derived from specular gathers, while diffraction gathers are used to derive information about discontinuity i.e., faults and small-scale fractures.

This paper presents a method for maximizing fault information from depth migrated narrow-azimuth as well as full-azimuth seismic data. The study demonstrates that depth domain diffraction imaging can be used to generate higher resolution fault definition than conventional reflectivity volumes, or their derivative post-stack attributes.
