Abstract: Subsurface representations that define subsurface configurations in layer space are used to train a machine learning model. The trained machine learning model is used to generate synthetic subsurface representations in the layer space. The synthetic subsurface representations are generated to match one or more conditioning characteristics. Conditioning of the trained machine learning model is performed in latent space.

Abstract: Correlation matrices may be used to simultaneously correlate multiple wells. A correlation matrix may be generated for individual pairs of multiple wells. The values of elements of the correlation matrices may be determined based on matching between segments of the multiple wells and segments of one or more computational stratigraphic models. An N-dimensional space including an axis for individual wells may be generated. Directed walk may be performed within the N-dimensional space to generate paths representing scenarios of correlations for segments of the multiple wells.

Abstract: Unsegmented continuous subsurface data may be analyzed using one or more moving windows to characterize a subsurface region. Unsegmented continuous subsurface data may be scanned using the moving window(s). Probabilities that portions of the subsurface region include a subsurface feature may be determined based on analysis of the portions of the unsegmented continuous subsurface data within the moving window(s).

Abstract: Depth-averaged flow simulation systems and methods provided herein employ parameterized templates for dynamical depth profiling for at least one step of a simulation. In one illustrative computer-based embodiment, the simulation method includes, for each map point at one given time step: determining a flow template and a sediment concentration template based on depth-averaged flow velocity and depth-averaged sediment concentrations of different classes of grain size for that map point; employing the templates to construct a vertically-distributed flow velocity profile and vertically-distributed sediment concentration profiles for associated classes of grain size for that map point, thereby obtaining 3D flow velocity and 3D sediment concentration fields; using the 3D fields to calculate fluid and sediment fluxes; updating the flow velocity and sediment concentration profiles based on the divergence of the fluxes; integrating the profiles to compute updated depth-averaged flow velocity and sediment concentrations and center of gravity; and solving the depth-averaged flow equations for the next time step.

Abstract: Data in physical space may be converted to layer space before performing modeling to generate one or more subsurface representations. Computational stratigraphy model representations that define subsurface configurations as a function of depth in the physical space may be converted to the layer space so that the subsurface configurations are defined as a function of layers. Conditioning information that defines conditioning characteristics as the function of depth in the physical space may be converted to the layer space so that the conditioning characteristics are defined as the function of layers. Modeling may be performed in the layer space to generate subsurface representations within layer space, and the subsurface representations may be converted into the physical space.

Abstract: A subsurface representation of a subsurface region includes cells that define subsurface propert(ies) at different locations within the subsurface region. Initial classification of rock types within portions of the subsurface representation is obtained and used to determine probability distributions of the subsurface propert(ies) for the rock types. The probability distributions of the subsurface propert(ies) for the rock types and a spatial distribution of rock types within the subsurface representation are used in an iterative process to determine classification of rock types within the subsurface representation.
