Description
Implementation and Interpretation of Machine and Deep Learning to Applied Subsurface Geological Problems: Prediction Models Exploiting Well-Log Information explores machine and deep learning models for subsurface geological prediction problems commonly encountered in applied resource evaluation and reservoir characterization tasks. The book provides insights into how the performance of ML/DL models can be optimized-and sparse datasets of input variables enhanced and/or rescaled-to improve prediction performances. A variety of topics are covered, including regression models to estimate total organic carbon from well-log data, predicting brittleness indexes in tight formation sequences, trapping mechanisms in potential sub-surface carbon storage reservoirs, and more.
Each chapter includes its own introduction, summary, and nomenclature sections, along with one or more case studies focused on prediction model implementation related to its topic.

Person
David A. Wood has more than forty years of international gas, oil, and broader energy experience since gaining his Ph.D. in geosciences from Imperial College London in the 1970s. His expertise covers multiple fields including subsurface geoscience and engineering relating to oil and gas exploration and production, energy supply chain technologies, and efficiencies. For the past two decades, David has worked as an independent international consultant, researcher, training provider, and expert witness. He has published an extensive body of work on geoscience, engineering, energy, and machine learning topics. He currently consults and conducts research on a variety of technical and commercial aspects of energy and environmental issues through his consultancy, DWA Energy Limited. He has extensive editorial experience as a founding editor of Elsevier's Journal of Natural Gas Science & Engineering in 2008/9 then serving as Editor-in-Chief from 2013 to 2016. He is currently Co-Editor-in-Chief of Advances in Geo-Energy Research.
