Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, cause the device to:
a. receive, at the one or more processors, a 5D seismic dataset representative of a subsurface volume of interest and a 3D velocity model;
b. prepare a subset of the 5D seismic dataset and a subset of the 3D velocity model to generate a training dataset;
c. train a Deep Neural Network using the training dataset to generate a trained model;
d. store the trained model in the memory or a non-transitory computer readable storage medium;
e. receive a second 5D seismic dataset;
f. estimate a predicted velocity model using the trained model and a subset of the second 5D seismic dataset;
g. perform seismic imaging of the second 5D seismic dataset using the predicted velocity model to generate a 3D seismic image; and
h. interpret subsurface geologic features in the 3D seismic image to design well paths and drilling strategies for hydrocarbon production.
