    Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions that are executable by the processor to access a plurality of seismic images of a subterranean formation in a first geological area. The instructions are also executable to generate a plurality of fault estimates from each of the plurality of seismic images. Further, the instructions are executable to generate a processed seismic image of the first geological area by normalizing and merging the plurality of seismic images and the plurality of fault estimates. Additionally, the instructions are executable to generate a statistical fault uncertainty volume of the first geological area using the processed seismic image. Furthermore, the instructions are executable to control a drilling operation in the first geological area using the statistical fault uncertainty volume of the first geological area.

    Abstract: Frequency-dependent machine-learning (ML) models can be used to interpret seismic data. A system can apply spectral decomposition to pre-processed training data to generate frequency-dependent training data of two or more frequencies. The system can train two or more ML models using the frequency-dependent training data. Subsequent to training the two or more ML models, the system can apply the two or more ML models to seismic data to generate two or more subterranean feature probability maps. The system can perform an analysis of aleatoric uncertainty on the two or more subterranean feature probability maps to create an uncertainty map for aleatoric uncertainty. Additionally, the system can generate a filtered subterranean feature probability map based on the uncertainty map for aleatoric uncertainty.
