Volume of Quartz
Brittleness
The natural gas Barnett Shale play. Volume of Quartz from the CNN (top) and Brittleness calculated from CNN estimated
elastic properties (bottom).
Benefits
• Improve exploration success rate in challenging, low well-control areas.
• Overcome poor well data quality by using Rock Physics Modelling and synthetic well data generation.
• Integrate rock physics with machine learning, making geological interpretation more insightful.
• Estimate multiple rock and elastic volume properties with one model, reducing project turn-around time.
• Generate facies predictions and facies probability volumes, as well as a most probable class cube.
• Produce higher detail results than conventional inversion workflows can provide.

Workflow
GeoAI workflow: generate synthetic training data based on Rock Physics modelling; create and validate machine learning
models; predict reservoir properties as a result.
Functionality
• Synthetic well catalog workflow to generate well logs and synthetic gathers for training of deep
learning models.
• Advanced rock physics modelling capabilities for clastics, unconventional and carbonate reservoirs.
• Blind well validation and jackknife validation provide error metrics and confidence levels of machine
learning predictions.
• Transfer learning methodology updates the training model by incorporating real well control and
leverages the model trained on rock-physics consistent synthetic data.
• Use of pre-stack seismic gathers to train and validate CNNs.
• Goodness-of-fit metrics to aid in the training model selection and evaluation.
• Confusion matrix analysis to model mis-fit metrics for classification studies.
• Uncertainty analysis volumes to access the variability and confidence in the predicted properties.

Results
Comparison of Density estimated from pre-stack inversion (top) and from the CNN (bottom). The wells contained in black
are the blind wells. CNN estimate has higher detail, matches the well control better and displays higher lateral continuity.
Comparing standard deviation of Vquartz estimation (left) with model prediction variability gathers (right). The highlighted
area reflects a larger standard deviation, indicating the high variability in the model’s predictions, thus lower confidence.
