improved consistency in geological risk assessment for the detection of recoverable hydrocarbon accumulations through continuous machine learning

摘要

the geological risk assessment includes receiving a first set of geological factors associated with a first site. data belonging to at least a second location with a second set of geological factors, similar to the first set of geological factors at the first location, is retrieved. a comparison of the first set of geological factors with the second set of geological factors is received, and a level of knowledge of the first location is determined based on the comparison. a suggested probability of success for the first location is determined based on the level of knowledge. a probability of success is determined for each of the geological factors in the second set of geological factors. a probability of success for the first location is determined. the probability of success for the first location is assessed based on the level of knowledge of the first location, the suggested probability of success for the first location, and the probability of success for each of the second set of geological factors, thereby providing a determination of probability of the existence of a certain amount of accumulated recoverable hydrocarbons in the first referred site.
