Inversion of fracture density from field seismic velocities using artificial neural networks
Tóm tắt
The inversion of fracture density from field measured P- and S-wave seismic velocities is performed using a neural network trained with an output from the modified displacement discontinuity fracture model. The basic idea is to use input‐output pairs generated by the fracture model to train the neural network. Once the neural network is trained, inversion of fracture density from field‐measured seismic velocities is performed very quickly. The overall performance of the neural network in the inversion process is assessed by means of a loss function. The results indicate that both sources of field information (P- and S-wave velocities) predict the field fracture density with reasonable accuracy. The performance of the neural network was compared to the prediction from least‐squares fitting. It is shown that the neural network out performs the least‐squares fitting in predicting the field‐fracture density values.
