Machine learning (ML) for facies modeling

A new generation of facies modeling is emerging, powered by machine learning and designed to overcome the limitations of traditional geostatistical workflows.

This innovation uniquely combines geostatistics with advanced machine learning (embedded model estimator [EMBER]), embedding geological rules directly into the learning process. The result is a step-change in capability: models that are not only data-driven, but geologically consistent, uncertainty-aware, and fully scalable.

Unlike conventional approaches that are labor-intensive, sequential, and often biased, this ML-driven solution delivers faster, automated, and more reliable facies models, reducing manual effort by up to 75% while preserving spatial continuity and honoring well and seismic data.

What makes this capability truly unique in the market is its ability to:

  • Integrate multi-source data seamlessly (wells, properties, seismic, surfaces).
  • Learn complex geological patterns across depositional environments (clastics and carbonates).
  • Deliver unbiased facies probabilities and robust predictions.
  • Generate multiple geologically consistent scenarios with quantified uncertainty.
  • Automate QC and validation, including blind well testing.

By capturing depositional architecture and heterogeneity more accurately, this approach enables better-constrained reservoir models and more confident field development decisions. Ultimately, ML facies modeling introduces a new industry paradigm: simple, fast, and predictive modeling, where uncertainty is quantified, geology is respected, and decisions are accelerated.

Petrel geological scenario modeling: Simplify your modeling workflow. Unlock scenarios.

Petrel™ geological scenario modeling redesigns the structural modeling experience, embedding automation and guided workflows to deliver high quality structural models faster while expanding uncertainty coverage.

From interpretation through robust structural frameworks, Petrel geological scenario modeling leverages automation and machine learning (ML) tools to reduce manual editing, accelerate data preprocessing, and significantly cut modeling cycle times.

With integrated support for multi-scenario modeling within uncertainty and optimization workflows (and connection with agile reservoir modeling), users can explore alternative structures, widen uncertainty coverage and improve confidence in subsurface decision-making.
