Tesselations Stable under Iteration

Published in Discrete Fracture Network Engineering 2014, 2014

This contribution presents a novel stochastic model based on tessellations stable under iteration also referred to as STIT. Such models naturally incorporate important features like fracture truncation and the possibility to extend their definition to arbitrary orientation distributions.

Reconstruction of three-dimensional porous media using generative adversarial neural networks

Published in Physical Review E, 2017

We present a method to reconstruct the solid-void structure of porous media by applying a generative neural network that allows an implicit description of the probability distribution represented by three-dimensional image data sets.

Well-data-based discrete fracture and matrix modelling and flow-based upscaling of multilayer carbonate reservoir horizons

Published in Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2017

Discrete fracture and matrix (DFM) homogenization, simultaneously capturing reservoir layers and contained fractures, is an alternative to discrete fracture network (DFN) upscaling. Here, the DFM approach was applied to a fractured carbonate reservoir.

Conditioning of Generative Adversarial Networks for Pore and Reservoir Scale Models

Published in 80th EAGE Conference and Exhibition 2018, 2018

Recently, generative adversarial networks (GAN) have been shown to be a successful method for generating unconditional simulations of pore- and reservoir-scale models. This contribution leverages the differentiable nature of neural networks to extend GANS to the conditional simulation of three-dimensional pore- and reservoir-scale models.

Rapid seismic domain transfer: Seismic velocity inversion and modeling using deep generative neural networks

Published in 80th EAGE Conference and Exhibition 2018, 2018

Traditional physics-based approaches to infer sub-surface properties such as fullwaveform inversion or reflectivity inversion are time consuming and computationally expensive. We present a deep-learning technique that eliminates the need for these computationally complex methods by posing the problem as one of domain transfer.

Stochastic Seismic Waveform Inversion using Generative Adversarial Networks as a Geological Prior

Published in ArXiv, 2018

We combine a generative adversarial network (GAN) representing an a priori model that creates subsurface geological structures and their petrophysical properties, with the numerical solution of the PDE governing the propagation of acoustic waves within the earths interior. We perform Bayesian inversion using an approximate Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm (MALA) to sample from the posterior given seismic observations.

PESGB 18: Stochastic Seismic Waveform Inversion Using Generative Adversarial Networks As A Geological Prior

Published: October 01, 2018

We present a probabilistic framework to solve ill-posed inverse problems governed by partial differential equations where a deep generative model is used as a prior on the coefficients governing the evolution of the solution space. A geophysical, seismic inversion problem is presented where the aim is to recover the spatial distribution p-wave velocities of a synthetic subsurface model, given observed acoustic waves at discrete recording stations on the surface. Posterior samples are acquired using a gradient-based approach based on stochastic gradient langeving dynamics. Talk PDF here
