Geostatistics and its Latest Developments Using Machine Learning Methods
Sunday 9 June 2024 | Room
Convenors
- Alessandro Mannini (Santos)
- Luc Sandjivy (ERMS)
Description
The main objective of this second workshop is to share and discuss recent geostatistics development in the world of AI and machine learning applied to geosciences. Since its inception in the 1970s, geostatistics has developed in two main areas, spatial statistics and probabilistic modeling. Its progress and acceptance by the geosciences community have always been conditioned by computing power and costs. In the digital age, these constraints have disappeared, unleashing the power of geostatistical algorithms to best valorize large seismic and well data sets. Geostatistics today meet two major challenges facing operating companies: How can we reduce geo processing and modeling turnaround times and expand the asset team capabilities while ensuring the transfer of in-house expertise to the next generation of digital geoscientists?
Sub-Topics that will be covered in the workshop:
Earth Intelligence, Deep Diffusion models, stochastic partial differential equations
(SPDEs).
