    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for predicting a location of a fault in an area of interest of a subterranean formation by automatically determining a minimum-energy path between fault points received from a user and positioned on a seismic image of the area of interest. The seismic image of the area of interest may include fault indicators corresponding to potential faults. In some aspects, the minimum-energy path may be determined by tracing a path from one of the two fault points to the other fault points using segments of the fault indicators identified as requiring the least amount of energy to traverse a path between the selected fault points.

    Abstract: Well logs can be automatically correlated using dynamic warping with descriptors. For example, a computing device can receive user input indicating a manual correlation between a first node in a first well-log and a second node in a second well-log. The computing device can use the manual correlation to automatically determine a combination of descriptors usable to correlate the first node to the second node. The computing device can then perform dynamic warping on other well logs using the combination of descriptors determined by using the first well log and the second well log. This may provide more accurate correlations between well logs.

    Abstract: A fault indicator calculator, a method for determining a fault indicator, and a fault indicator calculating system are disclosed herein. One embodiment of a fault indicator calculator includes: 1) an interface configured to receive seismic data, and 2) a processor configured to scan a manifold-shaped operator through said seismic data at a range of dips and azimuths and calculate fault throws at various orientations of said dips and azimuths independent of determining other fault indicators.
