1 74 th EAGE Conference & Exhibition incorporating SPE EUROPEC 2012 Automated seismic-to-well ties? Roberto H. Herrera and Mirko van der Baan University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada rhherrer@ualberta.ca

2 Outline Introduction Similarity in time series The manual seismic-to-well tie What is Dynamic Time Warping – How DTW works? – The automated approach Real examples – Manual vs Automatic Conclusions

3 Seismic-to-well similarity Objective: – Can you automate the seismic-to-well tie? Possible applications: – Seismic-to-well tie, log-to-log correlation, alignment of baseline + monitor in 4D Main problem – Bulk shift, stretching and squeezing is an interpretation item. – How to implement semi-automatically?

4 Similarity vs Correlation

5 How similar are they?

8 Common similarity measures Cross-correlation Denominator: energy normalization term.  is the time lag where the best match occurs. xcorr = Time alignment problems  An alternative to xcorr (L_2-norm) between the two time series Euclidean distance

9 Euclidean Distance & xcorr i i time Euclidean distance: aligns the i-th point on one time series with the i-th point on the other  poor similarity score. Correlation of well logs has always been a labor-intense interactive task. It is a pattern recognition problem better solved by the human eye than a computer. Zoraster et al., 2004 We are trying to simulate the procedure with the way humans perform the comparison.

12 Seismic-to-well tie Correlation Coefficient = 0.59 800 ms 1100 ms

13 600 ms 1100 ms Correlation Coefficient = 0.40 Seismic-to-well tie

14 Correlation Coefficient = 0.148 and could be 0.45 with 25 ms of time shift 600 ms 900 ms

15 How done manually Apply bulk shift and minimum amount of stretching + squeezing to correlate major reflectors QC – look at resulting interval velocity changes

16 Dynamic Time Warping? i i+2 i i i time Euclidean distance: aligns the i-th point on one time series with the i-th point on the other  poor similarity score. DTW: A non-linear (elastic) alignment: produces a more intuitive similarity measure. It matches similar shapes even if they are out of phase on the time axis. A pattern matching technique that is “visually perceptive and intuitive” Elena Tsiporkova: http://www.psb.ugent.be/cbd/papers/gentxwarper/DTWAlgorithm.ppt

17 Dynamic Time Warping? Euclidean Distance Sequences are aligned “one to one” DTW Nonlinear alignments are possible Dr. Eamonn Keogh http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~eamonn/tutorials.htmlhttp://www.cs.ucr.edu/~eamonn/tutorials.html

18 How is DTW Calculated? [ Ratanamahatana, E. Keogh, 2005] Every possible warping between two time series, is a path through the matrix. We want the best one… S T This recursive function gives us the minimum cost path  (i,j) = d(s i,t j ) + min{  (i-1,j-1),  (i-1,j ),  (i,j-1) } [Berndt, Clifford, 1994]

27 Experiments: well 01-08 Seismic Trace Synthetic Warping path BLUE: seismic trace RED : synthetic

28 Experiments: well 01-08 BLUE: seismic trace RED : synthetic

29 Experiments: well 01-08 Manual Warping (HRS) Automatic Warping (DTW) BLUE: seismic trace RED : synthetic Manual: time warping only in the selected window. CorrCoef = 0.92 CorrCoef = 0.80

30 Warping path: well 16-08 Seismic Trace Synthetic BLUE: seismic trace RED : synthetic

31 Automatic stretch/squeeze: well 16-08 BLUE: seismic trace RED : synthetic

32 Experiments: well 16-08 Manual Warping (HRS) Automatic Warping (DTW) BLUE: seismic trace RED : synthetic Manual: time warping only in the selected window. CorrCoef = 0.89 CorrCoef = 0.744

33 Discussion Pros and cons – Independent of the selected window. – Able to follow non linearities – Only intended as a guide – not all stretching- squeezing is realistic – QC – examine changes in resulting interval velocity curve

34 Conclusions DTW: optimal solution for matching similar events. DTW: complementary tool for seismic-to-well tie. Many other applications of DTW are possible for seismic data. – log-to-log correlations, alignment of baseline and monitor surveys in 4D seismics, PP and PS wavefield registration for 3C data.
