Petrophysical inversion based on <i>f-s-r</i> amplitude-variation-with-offset linearization and canonical correlation analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT The prediction of petrophysical properties, such as porosity and rock-fluid volumes, from partially stacked seismic data typically requires a rock-physics model that often is lithology dependent and difficult to calibrate. We adopt canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to infer the underlying relation between petrophysical properties and elastic attributes estimated from seismic data. We develop a two-step inversion approach: first, we predict elastic properties from partially stacked seismic data using a Bayesian linear inverse method based on an amplitude-variation-with-offset (AVO) linearization in terms of fluid, rigidity, and density factors, and then we predict petrophysical properties from the estimated AVO attributes using CCA. The novelty of our approach is the application of CCA to the fluid and rigidity factors, which avoids the calibration of an explicit rock-physics model by automatically deriving a linear relation in the lower dimensional space of the canonical variables. The parameterization of the linearization in terms of fluid, rigidity, and density factors maximizes the correlation with respect to the petrophysical properties of interest. Furthermore, the probabilistic approach is extended to the petrophysical inversion using Bayesian linear theory and the posterior distribution of petrophysical properties conditioned by seismic data is computed by combining the probability distributions obtained from seismic and petrophysical inversion to propagate the uncertainty from the seismic to the petrophysical domain. The inversion is validated on a synthetic case that finds high accuracy of our formulation. A case study with synthetic and real partially stacked seismic data also is presented and compared to a traditional inversion with an explicit rock-physics model.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
