Abstract Fault detection is an important, but time-consuming task in seismic data interpretation. Traditionally, seismic attributes, such as coherency (Marfurt et al., 1998) and curvature (Al-Dossary et al., 2006) are used to detect faults. Recently, machine learning methods, such as convolution neural networks (CNNs) are used to detect faults, by applying various semantic segmentation algorithms to the seismic data (Wu et al., 2019). The most used algorithm is U-Net (Ronneberger et al., 2015), which can accurately and efficiently provide probability maps of faults. However, probabilities of faults generated by semantic segmentation algorithms are not sufficient for direct recognition of fault types and reconstruction of fault surfaces. To address this problem, we propose, for the first time, a workflow to use instance segmentation algorithm to detect different fault lines. Specifically, a modified CNN (LaneNet; Neven et al., 2018) is trained using automatically generated synthetic seismic images and corresponding labels. We then test the trained CNN using both synthetic and field collected seismic data. Results indicate that the proposed workflow is accurate and effective at detecting faults.

The present study interprets the subsurface structure of the Rajian area using seismic sections and the identification of hydrocarbon-bearing zones using petrophysical analysis. The Rajian area lies within the Upper Indus Basin in the southeast (SE) of the Salt Range Potwar Foreland Basin. The marked horizons are identified using formation tops from two vertical wells. Seismic interpretation of the given 2D seismic data reveals that the study area has undergone severe distortion illustrated by thrusts and back thrusts, forming a triangular zone within the subsurface. The final trend of those structures is northwest–southeast (NW–SE), indicating that the area is part of the compressional regime. The zones interpreted by the study of hydrocarbon potential include Sakessar limestone and Khewra sandstone. Due to the unavailability of a petrophysics log within the desired investigation depths, lithology cross-plots were used for the identification of two potential hydrocarbon-bearing zones in one well at depths of 3740–3835 m (zone 1) and 4015–4100 m (zone 2). The results show that zone 2 is almost devoid of hydrocarbons, while zone 1 has an average hydrocarbon saturation of about 11%.

Abstract. The geometry and internal architecture of the Upper Jurassic carbonate depositional system in the epicontinental basin of western and central Europe, and within the northern margin of the Tethyan shelf are hitherto only partly recognised, especially in areas with thick Cretaceous and younger cover such as the Miechów Trough. In such areas, seismic data are indispensable for analysis of a carbonate depositional system, in particular for identification of the carbonate buildups and the enveloping strata. The study area is located in the central part of the Miechów Trough that in the Late Jurassic was situated within the transition zone between the Polish part of western and central European epicontinental basin and the Tethys Ocean. This paper presents the results of interpretation of 2D seismic data calibrated by deep wells that document the presence of large Upper Jurassic carbonate buildups. The lateral extent of particular structures is in the range of 400–1000 m, and their heights are in range of 150–250 m. Interpretation of seismic data revealed that the depositional architecture of the subsurface Upper Jurassic succession in the Miechów Trough is characterised by the presence of large carbonate buildups surrounded by basinal (bedded) limestone-marly deposits. These observations are compatible with depositional characteristics of well-recognised Upper Jurassic carbonate sediments that crop out in the adjacent Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The presented study provides new information about carbonate open shelf sedimentation within the transition zone in the Late Jurassic, which proves the existence of much more extensive system of organic buildups which flourished in this part of the basin. Obtained results, due to high quality of available seismic data, provide also an excellent generic reference point for seismic studies of carbonate buildups from other basins and of different ages.
