Facies classification from well logs using an inception convolutional network
Abstract
The idea to use automated algorithms to determine geological facies from well logs is not new (see e.g Busch et al. (1987); Rabaute (1998)) but the recent and dramatic increase in research in the field of machine learning makes it a good time to revisit the topic. Following an exercise proposed by Dubois et al. (2007) and Hall (2016) we employ a modern type of deep convolutional network, called \textit{inception network} (Szegedy et al., 2015), to tackle the supervised classification task and we discuss the methodological limits of such problem as well as further research opportunities.
