At the end of last year LTrace was selected at a contest promoted by PETROBRAS and SEBRAE called "Petrobras connections for innovation - Startup module"

The project entitled "Deep learning for 4D seismic assimilation on reservoir models" proposes the use of convolutional neural networks for improving the level of quantitative information assimilated from 4D seismic data on history matching algorithms. The project has started this month with a total duration of 12 months. In this brief period the team hopes to deliver a proof of concept as a Petrel plugin for G&G users of Petrobras to test and give us feedback more promptly. We will be using the Ocean for Petrel framework to develop the plugin, integrating it with a Petrobras in-house software solution for history matching called BR-Kalman.

New paper on Joint Bayesian Inversion at the GEOPHYSICS journal https://www.ltrace.com.br/2018/09/13/new-paper-joint-bayesian-geophysics/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=new-paper-joint-bayesian-geophysics Thu, 13 Sep 2018 14:55:23 +0000 http://ltrace.com.br/?p=981

LTrace recently co-authored a new paper at one of the most respected journals of the area: SEG's GEOPHYSICS. Dr. Leandro Figueiredo, our co-founder was the first author. The authors propose a generalized methodology to define a joint distribution of elastic and petrophysical properties, based on a rock-physics model parametrized by facies. The distribution is used as a prior model in a Bayesian framework to jointly estimate the facies, the elastic and the petro-physical properties of the subsurface. The paper was written in cooperation with professor Dr. Dario Grana, from the University of Wyoming, professors Dr. Mauro Roisenberg and Dr. Marcio Santos, from UFSC, and Bruno Rodrigues from Petrobras. Check it out at the SEG Digital Library]]>
