Digital elevation model (DEM) SR aims to reconstruct terrain at a finer resolution than available measurements. The raw terrain data are often non-stationary and characterized by trends, while terrain residuals are generally stationary in geomorphologically heterogeneous areas. Here, we develop a multiple-point statistics approach that decomposes the target low-resolution DEM into a deterministic low-frequency trend component and a stochastic high-frequency residual component. Our simulation is focusing on the residual component. A training image selection process is applied to determine locally appropriate high-resolution residual training images. The high-resolution residual of the target DEM is simulated with an open-source multiple-point statistics (MPS) framework named QuickSampling. The residual of the low-resolution target DEM is used as conditioning data to ensure local accuracy. The deterministic trend component is then added to obtain the final downscaled DEM. The proposed algorithm is compared with the bicubic interpolation, a convolutional neural network(CNN), a generative adversarial network (GAN), a modified super-resolution residual network (MSRResNet), and geostatistical area-to-point-kriging.

Data-driven surrogate modeling as an efficient strategy can accelerate the history-matching process by constructing machine learning-based models with high computing speed but reduced accuracy. However, the applicability of surrogate models for different history-matching problems is uncertain due to the influence of data quality and quantity, model architectures, and hyperparameters. To overcome this issue, an offline data-driven dual-surrogate framework (ODDF) that considers the prediction error of surrogate models for history matching is proposed, where one surrogate model predicts the production data of reservoirs and the other one learns the prediction error of the former surrogate. The first surrogate model considers the time-series characteristics of production data using a recurrent neural network, while the second surrogate model regards the two-dimensional spatial correlation characteristics of multivariate prediction error using a fully convolutional neural network. Furthermore, an enhanced error model is applied to incorporate the prediction error into the objective function to reduce the influence of the prediction error on inversion results. Based on this hybrid framework, one can improve the prediction accuracy of surrogate models in history matching when the architectures or hyperparameters of surrogate models are not optimal. Additionally, one can obtain satisfactory results for history matching and uncertainty quantification based on surrogate modeling. The proposed framework is validated on the history matching of two- and three-dimensional reservoir models.

To address this issue, this study explores the use of deep neural network (DNN) algorithms as a solution. Initially, sites within sedimentary basin in Japan are identified. The results of horizontal-vertical spectral ratios (HVSR) and different proxy conditions (ground motion intensity and site conditions) are utilized to develop and train DNN models. The dependence of the nonlinear features on various combinations of ground motion intensity and site conditions is analyzed by the DNN model. Based on the differences between the values obtained under weak and strong earthquakes, evaluation indexes of nonlinear features, including the degree of nonlinearity (DNL), absolute degree of nonlinearity (ADNL), and percent nonlinear site response (PNL), are calculated. This allows a rapid assessment of the regional nonlinear features of sedimentary basins. The DNN model is used to determine the nonlinear features of several soil profiles under different ground motion intensity conditions. The results demonstrate a strong consistency between DNL, ADNL, and PNL with variations in ground motion intensity, while showing weaker consistency with site conditions.

The hydrocarbon reservoirs are often difficult to assess, and the methods employed in acquiring information from these locations offer too sparse data or have a low spatial resolution. Otherwise, outcrops allow fracture characterization directly in the field or using 2D and 3D digital representations of outcrops. These fracture networks, usually related to fractal propagation and power-law distribution parameters, can be used as data sources providing useful information when properly adjusted to the reservoir simulation scale. In this sense, attribute estimators, like the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) and algorithms using MLE, have been widely used for their robustness when compared to linear regression estimators. However, due to the challenges in the power-law characterization, such as the large fluctuations that occur in the tail of the distribution, non-optimum values can be obtained despite the effectiveness of the MLE. Our work proposes the use of an optimization algorithm based on Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) with momentum to obtain best-fitting parameters for power-law distributions. The proposed method was first evaluated with synthetic data and several goodness-of-fitness metrics and later using empirical data obtained from fracture characterization in the Digital Outcrop Model (DOM) of a reservoir analogue outcrop. Stochastic DFN sampling based on empirical data was also used to simulate censoring effects. The results showed that the SGD method provided better distribution fitting than other methods based on the MLE when using empirical data while presenting reduced bias when using synthetic data. The estimation of power-law parameters in stochastic DFN data also presented the best-fitting results when applying the proposed method.

The existing works use high-resolution aerial imagery focusing on large waterbodies, while ignoring the most vulnerable floodplains of innumerous small water bodies due to high inter-class similarity. This limits the ability to perform a temporal analysis of land cover change along small water bodies.

To capture spatial hierarchies in satellite images effectively, in this paper, a novel dual attention-based vision transformer has been developed for land-cover classification in four categories namely, water, built-up, siltation, and vegetation.

Many methods have been developed for completing missing well logs, but these methods are all based on fixed types of known well-log inputs to predict specific types of missing logs. This fixed input–output mode severely limits the application of these methods in actual data, where the known and missing well-log types are often varying. To address this problem, we propose a hybrid deep learning method with two heads of heterogeneous graph neural network (HGNN) and fully connected network (FCN) to achieve mutual prediction among multiple types of well logs. It can adaptively use all known well logs to predict any missing well logs, achieving a very flexible and practical well log completion function of using what you have to complete what you are missing. Specifically, the HGNN head infers the inter-relationships among multiple well logs to predict normalized logs that contain detailed information, which achieved by using multiple independent kernels to extracting and aggregating the features of the multiple logs. The FCN head estimates the global statistics of the predicted logs, including means and standard deviations, for de-normalizing the well logs estimated by the HGNN head. Both the HGNN and FCN heads are trained simultaneously by a hybrid loss function to ensure the consistency of their predictions. Furthermore, we present an adaptive training strategy that leverages all well logs, including those with missing segments. We demonstrate the capability of our model using four well logs: gamma ray (GR), bulk density (RHOB), neutron porosity (NPHI), and compressional waves sonic (DTC).
