Seismic Data Bandwidth Improvement using Artificial Intelligence
FY 2024-25 · 2024-08-01
Summary
o The "Seismic Data Bandwidth Improvement using Artificial Intelligence" project aims to enhance seismic data processing by employing advanced AI algorithms to expand bandwidth and improve resolution. Traditional seismic methods often limit frequency ranges, leading to reduced subsurface imaging accuracy. This project seeks to overcome those limitations by using machine learning models to identify and amplify weak signals, resulting in clearer and more detailed seismic images. By improving the quality of seismic datasets, the project will provide geoscientists with better insights into complex geological formations, aiding in resource discovery and hazard assessment.

Description
o The "Seismic Data Bandwidth Improvement using Artificial Intelligence" project aims to enhance seismic data processing by employing advanced AI algorithms to expand bandwidth and improve resolution. Traditional seismic methods often limit frequency ranges, leading to reduced subsurface imaging accuracy.

Description (French)
o Le projet d’amélioration de la bande passante des données sismiques à l’aide de l’intelligence artificielle vise à améliorer le traitement des données sismiques en utilisant des algorithmes d’intelligence artificielle avancés pour augmenter la bande passante et améliorer la résolution. Les méthodes sismiques traditionnelles limitent souvent les gammes de fréquences, ce qui a pour perspective de réduire la précision de l’imagerie de la subsurface. Ce projet vise à surmonter ces limitations en utilisant des modèles d’apprentissage automatique pour identifier et amplifier les signaux faibles, ce qui permet d’obtenir des images sismiques plus claires et plus détaillées. En améliorant la qualité des ensembles de données sismiques, le projet fournira aux géoscientifiques un meilleur aperçu des formations géologiques complexes, ce qui facilitera la découverte de ressources et l’évaluation des risques.
