Patent ID: 8024123

Claim:
A method for predicting subterranean formation properties of a wellsite, comprising: obtaining seismic data for an area of interest; obtaining, using a computer processor, an initial seismic cube using the seismic data, wherein the initial seismic cube is a three-dimensional representation of the seismic data; generating, using the computer processor, a plurality of shifted seismic cubes within the area of interest using the 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, using the computer processor, a neural network using the initial seismic cube, the plurality of shifted seismic cubes, and well log data; and applying the neural network to the seismic data to obtain a model for the area of interest, the model being configured for use in adjusting an operation of the wellsite.
