Abstract

Processes can be employed to select cartographic reference system (CRS) recommendations from a CRS model where the CRS recommendations are matched to received seismic data. A learning mode can be used to build the CRS model where seismic data is matched to CRS. The learning mode can be automated using natural language processing system to parse the meta data for the seismic data, such as the name, area, or code, or label. The CRS model can be updated using an output from a user system, such as when a user manually matches a CRS to seismic data. The matched seismic data to CRS can be used as input to a user system or a computing system, such as a borehole operation system.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method to train a machine learning system to associate seismic data with cartographic reference systems, comprising:
receiving seismic data from a national data repository or a data storage, relating to a location of interest;
parsing meta data of the seismic data to determine a name, an area, or a code;
associating the seismic data with two or more cartographic reference systems (CRSs), using the meta data, to generate a seismic data-CRS match, wherein the seismic data-CRS match is communicated to a user system and a user selects a primary CRS from the two or more CRSs; and
training the machine learning system by updating a CRS model with the seismic data-CRS match, wherein the seismic data-CRS match is utilized to determine a first location of a reservoir field and a second location of a borehole for hydrocarbon production, and the seismic data-CRS match includes an indicator for a selected CRS from the two or more CRSs, where the borehole is placed at the second location in the reservoir field using the seismic data-CRS match.

2. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the parsing utilizes a natural language processing system.

3. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the associating utilizes a rank or a weight for each CRS in the one or more CRS.

4. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the name, the area, or the code is a file name or a label.

5. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the updating utilizes a user input to update the CRS model.

6. A method of using a machine learning system for matching seismic data to cartographic reference systems, comprising:
receiving seismic data, from a data storage, relating to a location of interest;
parsing meta data of the seismic data to determine a name, an area, or a code; and
utilizing a cartographic reference system (CRS) model to associate the seismic data with two or more CRS, utilizing the meta data, to generate a seismic data-CRS match that includes an indicator for a primary CRS, wherein the indicator for a primary CRS is determined by a user after the seismic data-CRS match is communicated to a user system, wherein the seismic data-CRS match is utilized to determine a first location of a reservoir field and a second location of a borehole for hydrocarbon production, where the borehole is placed at the second location in the reservoir field using the seismic data-CRS match.

7. The method as recited in claim 6 , further comprising:
communicating the seismic data-CRS match to one or more borehole operation systems.

8. The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein a seismic data analyzer selects one or more CRS recommendations from the seismic data-CRS.

9. The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein there is more than one CRS in the one or more CRS, and the seismic data-CRS match includes a rank or a weight for each CRS in the one or more CRS.

10. The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein the data storage is a national data repository.

11. The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein an output from the user system is utilized to update the CRS model.

12. The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein the user system utilizes a statistical infographic to interpret the seismic data-CRS match.

13. The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein the user system utilizes a geographic information system (GIS) system.

14. The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein the CRS model utilizes a statistics-based CRS recommendation.

15. A system, comprising:
a data transceiver, capable of receiving seismic data, from a national data repository or a data storage, wherein the seismic data relates to a location of interest for a reservoir field and a location of interest for a borehole;
a machine learning system, capable of parsing meta data of the seismic data to generate a label, associating, using the label, seismic data to at least two cartographic reference systems (CRSs) to generate a seismic data-CRS match, wherein the seismic data-CRS match includes an indicator for a primary CRS, and updating a CRS model using the seismic data-CRS match, where the seismic data-CRS match is communicated to a user system and a user selects the primary CRS from the at least two CRSs; and
a seismic data analyzer, capable of communicating with the data transceiver and the machine learning system, and using the CRS model to select one or more CRS recommendations for the seismic data, where the borehole is placed at the location of interest for the borehole in the reservoir field using the seismic data-CRS match.

16. The system as recited in claim 15 , further comprising:
a result transceiver, capable of communicating results, interim outputs, and the seismic data-CRS match to a user system, a data store, or a computing system.

17. The system as recited in claim 16 , wherein the computing system is a borehole operation system.

18. The system as recited in claim 16 , wherein an output from the user system is used to update the CRS model.

19. The system as recited in claim 15 , wherein the label is one or more of a name, an area, or a code.

20. The system as recited in claim 15 , wherein the seismic data analyzer is further capable of using ranks, weights, or statistical algorithms to select the one or more CRS recommendations.
