Development of an automated and computationally low-cost method of huge data generation for training deep learning algorithms using direct sequential simulation

Authors

Abstract

Recent successes in inverse problems have led to instant demand for available training datasets. Lack of appropriate datasets, in terms of quantity and quality, has become a challenge in geophysical application of deep learning neural networks. Several methods have been developed to overcome this problem. In this paper, a framework for generating training datasets was introduced using a geostatistical simulation method called direct sequential simulation. The main idea was to extract well logs from different available velocity models and using them as input data for simulation and co-simulation algorithms. Using the secondary image for co-simulation with different correlation coefficients of 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7, various models were generated with different continuities. In this paper, various examples of well-known velocity models were selected to generate more suitable models in terms of geological structures.
