摘要
Seismic facies, combined with well-log data and other seismic attributes such as coherency, curvature, and AVO, play an important role in subsurface geological studies, especially for identification of depositional structures. The effectiveness of any seismic facies analysis algorithm depends on whether or not it is driven by local geologic factors, the absence of which may lead to unrealistic information about subsurface geology, depositional environment, and lithology. This includes proper identification of number of classes or facies existing in the data set. We developed a hybrid waveform classification algorithm based on an artificial immune system and self-organizing map (AI-SOM), that forms the class of unsupervised classification or automatic facies identification followed by facies map generation. The advantage of AI-SOM is that, unlike, a stand-alone SOM, it is more robust in the presence of noise in seismic data. Artificial immune system (AIS) is an excellent data reduction technique providing a compact representation of the training data; this is followed by clustering and identification of number of clusters in the data set. The reduced data set from AIS processing serves as an excellent input to SOM processing. Thus, facies maps generated from AI-SOM are less affected by poise and redundancy in the data set. We tested the effectiveness of our algorithm. with application to an offshore 3D seismic volume from F3 block in the Netherlands. The results confirmed that we can better interpret an appropriate number of facies in the seismic data using the AI-SOM approach than with a conventional SOM. We also examined the powerful data-reduction capabilities of AIS and advantages the of AI-SOM over SOM when data under consideration were noisy and redundant.
