Abstract

A computer-implemented method is described for automated seismic interpretation that includes receiving, at one or more processors, a pre-stack seismic dataset representative of the subsurface volume of interest; performing, via the one or more processors, a machine learning algorithm on the pre-stack seismic dataset to identify seismic facies based on AVA clusters, wherein the identified seismic facies include cluster sequences in depth for a plurality of spatial x-y locations in the subsurface volume; performing, via the one or more processors, seismic interpretation of the seismic dataset based on the identified seismic facies to generate a digital image of the seismic interpretation; and displaying the digital image of the seismic interpretation on a user interface.
