Machine Learning for Subsurface Characterization

Machine Learning for Subsurface Characterization focuses on the development and application of neural networks, deep learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and clustering methods for subsurface characterization under constraints due to financial, operational, regulatory, risk, technological and environmental challenges. The book introduces readers to methods of generating subsurface signals and analyzing the complex relationships within various subsurface signals using machine learning. Algorithmic procedures in MATLAB, R, PYTHON, and TENSORFLOW are displayed in text and through online instructional videos to assist training and learning. Field cases are also presented to demonstrate real-world applications, with a particular focus on examples involving shale reservoirs. Explaining the concept of machine learning, advantages to the industry, and applications applied to complex subsurface rocks, this book delivers a missing piece for the reservoir engineer's toolbox. Focuses on applying predictive modeling and machine learning from real case studies and Q&A sessions at the end of each chapter Teaches users how to develop codes, such as MATLAB, PYTHON, R and TENSORFLOW with step-by-step guides included Helps readers visually learn code development with video demonstrations
