About this ebook
Implementation and Interpretation of Machine and Deep Learning to Applied Subsurface Geological Problems: Prediction Models Exploiting Well-Log Information explores machine and deep learning models for subsurface geological prediction problems commonly encountered in applied resource evaluation and reservoir characterization tasks. The book provides insights into how the performance of ML/DL models can be optimized—and sparse datasets of input variables enhanced and/or rescaled—to improve prediction performances. A variety of topics are covered, including regression models to estimate total organic carbon from well-log data, predicting brittleness indexes in tight formation sequences, trapping mechanisms in potential sub-surface carbon storage reservoirs, and more.Each chapter includes its own introduction, summary, and nomenclature sections, along with one or more case studies focused on prediction model implementation related to its topic. - Addresses common applied geological problems focused on machine and deep learning implementation with case studies - Considers regression, classification, and clustering machine learning methods and how to optimize and assess their performance, considering suitable error and accuracy metric - Contrasts the pros and cons of multiple machine and deep learning methods - Includes techniques to improve the identification of geological carbon capture and storage reservoirs, a key part of many energy transition strategies
