    Abstract: A system can determine a location for future wells using machine-learning techniques. The system can receive seismic data about a subterranean formation and may determine a set of seismic attributes from the seismic data. The system can block the set of seismic attributes into a set of blocked seismic attributes by distributing the set of seismic attributes onto a geo-cellular grid representative of the subterranean formation. The system can apply a trained machine-learning model to the set of blocked seismic attributes to generate a composite seismic parameter. The system can distribute the composite seismic parameter in the subterranean formation to characterize formation locations based on a predicted presence of hydrocarbons.

    Abstract: A system is described for determining a likelihood of a type of fluid in a subterranean reservoir. The system may include a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium that includes instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform various operations. The processor may receive pre-stack seismic data having seismically-acquired data elements for geometric locations in a subterranean reservoir. The processor may determine, using the pre-stack seismic data, input features for each geometric location and may execute a trained model on the input features for determining a likelihood of a type of fluid in the subterranean reservoir and for determining a list of features affecting the likelihood. The processor may subsequently output the likelihood and the list of features.

    Abstract: An ensemble of machine learning models is trained to evaluate seismic and risk-related data in order to evaluate, value, or otherwise rank various prospective hydrocarbon reservoir (“prospects”) of a field. A classification machine learning model is trained to classify a prospect or region of a prospect based on the exploration risk level. From the seismic data, a frequency-filtered volume (FFV) for each prospect is calculated, where the FFV is a measure of reservoir volume which takes into account seismic resolution limits. Based on the risk classification and FFV, prospects of the field are ranked based on their economic value which is a combination of the risk associated with drilling and their potential reservoir volume.
