PREDICTING PROPERTIES OF UNDERGROUND FORMATION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G06N3/06 G01V1/48 E21B49/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises steps for: obtaining seismic data for an area of interest; obtaining an initial seismic cube using said seismic data, wherein the initial seismic cube is a three-dimensional representation of the seismic data; generating a plurality of shifted seismic cubes within the area of interest using said seismic data and a shifting parameter, wherein each of the plurality of shifted seismic cubes is shifted from the initial seismic cube; and wherein the shifting parameter defines a direction and a range that the initial seismic cube should be shifted; generating a neural network using the initial seismic cube, the plurality of shifted seismic cubes, and well log data; and applying the neural network to said seismic data to obtain a model for the area of interest, the model being configured for use in adjusting an operation of the wellsite.

EFFECT: high accuracy.
