We propose a two-stream neural network that integrates the time domain and time-frequency domain representations for microseismic phase detection and picking. This model builds on the EQTransformer (EQT) by incorporating an additional time-frequency stream using a Short-Time Fourier Transform as input. This preserves the original time-domain network structure, while enabling the fusion of features from both domains through lateral interactions. We explore two feature-fusion strategies: fixed weighting addition and a cross-attention mechanism, resulting in two two-stream EQT (TS-EQT) models: AddTwoStream-EQT (ATS-EQT) and CrossTwoStream-EQT (CTS-EQT). We enhance the data through a multi-model average picking strategy to reduce the labeling errors. We train the models with the STEAD dataset and test them on the STEAD, DiTing and Geysers datasets. We find that the TS-EQT models are superior to the original EQT model in both learning ability and generalization performance. The cross-attention mechanism feature fusion strategy is superior to the fixed weighting addition strategy. Specifically, ATS-EQT detects 45 % more events than EQT on the Geysers microseismic dataset, the number of P-wave and S-wave picks increases by about 44 % and 48 %, respectively. CTS-EQT detects 48 % more events, and the number of P-wave and S-wave picks increases by about 52 % and 56 %, respectively.

Carbonate fault-controlled fracture-cavity reservoirs in the Shunbei area of the Tarim Basin, Northwest China, exhibit complex heterogeneity. These reservoirs typically comprise fracture planes, caves and disordered bodies. Fracture planes are narrow and banded, with caves and disordered bodies distributed around them. Within fracture planes and caves, crush belts and bedrock belts alternate to form grille structures. These pose significant challenges for traditional modeling algorithms to characterize accurately. To address this, we proposed a hierarchical object-based modeling algorithm to reproduce fault-controlled fracture-cavity body's grille structural trends and shapes. Using seismic data from the Shunbei No.5 Fault Zone (with a resolution of 25∗25m) and well logging data (including drilling fluid loss data and resistivity logging data), conduct research on grille structure modeling algorithms. First, the fault-controlled fracture-cavity reservoirs are distinguished by fracture planes, caves, and disordered bodies, and contour models are established via seismic attributes threshold truncation. Second, statistics on the scale of development of crush belts and breccia belts under 100 m of fracture planes and caves in different stress sections by logging data. A regional growth tracking algorithm are applied to identify fracture planes trend lines, which can be classified into single, multi, convergent, and branching forms based on contour characteristics. Third, cumulative probability sampling is used to determine the number and scale of the crush and breccia belts. Grille structure models were constructed at three levels: bedrock, crush, and breccia belts. Results indicate successful identification of trend lines matching the structural contours, establishing accurate grille structure models by employing hierarchical simulation strategy under trend line constraints. The models established by traditional methods exhibit significant randomness, making it difficult to control both the variable developmental trajectories of individual belts and the relative positional relationships among multiple belts. Based on these geological facies models, corresponding physical property models were generated, achieving high accuracy in reserve calculations and numerical simulations with less than 10 % error, thus providing valuable guidance for oil and gas development. In the future, more compatible contour models can be established through methods like multi-attribute fusion and deep learning.

However, such meshes are difficult to create in the context of smooth anisotropic media as the optimal local size of the elements is not clearly defined. In this work, we present a two-step algorithm to efficiently mesh these media for spectral element method (SEM) simulation in the 2D elastic case. Our algorithm yields quadrangular only meshes which adapt the size of the element to the local and directional S-wave velocity. It relies on a quadtree division introduced by Maréchal (2009) to divide the mesh until the size of each element edge is adapted to the local minimum wavelength that will be propagated. Then, a Laplacian smoothing is applied to further optimize the size of the elements, increasing the global time step and makes the SEM simulation faster while keeping a good accuracy and even improving it in some cases.

Traditionally used for polygonal simplification, QEM has been uniquely adapted to operate directly on gridded data, which is required by most geomorphometric calculation and analysis tools. By minimizing geometric distortion, QEM effectively maintains significant land surface features, even at high levels of generalization, where the limitations of existing methods become evident. This was confirmed through a methods comparison, evaluating the generalization level using local roughness measurements based on the circular variance of aspect on four distinct areas that vary considerably in terms of landform type. The QEM approach's implicit evaluation of local surface properties ensures that significant features are preserved without the need for explicit feature detection or extensive parameter tuning. The method employs an adaptive error threshold to progressively remove smaller, non-essential landforms, providing flexible control over the generalization process. The proposed method has significant implications for various applications utilizing DEMs, particularly for analyses for which micro-scale features are undesirable noise, but preservation of the terrain skeleton is especially important.
