This partnership has already delivered insight through a range of unique derivative datasets for the TGS Utsira Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) survey, created through Artificial Intelligence (AI) analysis.

This groundbreaking project is the first example of AI geological interpretation on a large-scale, densely sampled OBN exploration dataset covering over 1,500 square kilometers. The objective was to deliver an entirely new suite of derivative seismic products to provide enhanced exploration insights through AI, especially in areas where Infrastructure lead exploration (ILX) is drawing increased focus from the E&P industry. 

With human training, ground truth well data anchoring, and blind testing, the combination of high fidelity seismic with cutting-edge AI technology provides reassuringly accurate predictions.

As a cloud-native application, this partnership sees Earth Science Analytics’ EarthNet software installed into TGS’ cloud environment to create high-value derivatives from the world’s largest library of subsurface data.

The properties produced from seismic and well data analysis include porosity, lithology and water saturation, in addition to seismic interpretations of faults and geobodies such as injectites to an exceptionally high degree of confidence.

These outputs will be accessible to purchase and later to access in a data room environment as a means for operators to maximize their potential findings and profits, minimize risk and support the best possible decision making.
