Fault detection based on seismic data interpretation

One or more non-transitory machine-readable media comprising program code for determining a position of a geological feature in a formation, the program code to:

• receive, with one or more seismic sensors, signals from within the formation, wherein the signals are based on seismic waves generated by a seismic source;
• determine a seismic dataset, wherein the seismic dataset is based on the signals;
• determine, with an edge detector, a set of indicators of candidate discontinuities in the formation based on the seismic dataset;
• label, with a neural network processor, a subset of the set of indicators of candidate discontinuities using a neural network with a label based on the set of indicators of candidate discontinuities, wherein the label distinguishes an indicator of a candidate discontinuity between being an indicator of a target discontinuity or being an indicator of a non-target discontinuity;
• and
• determine the position of the geological feature in the formation, wherein the geological feature in the formation is associated with at least one target discontinuity based on the subset of the set of indicators of candidate discontinuities.

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more seismic sensors;
• a processor;
• and
• a machine-readable medium having program code executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to,
• receive, with the one or more seismic sensors, signals from within a formation, wherein the signals are based on seismic waves generated by a seismic source
• determine a seismic dataset, wherein the seismic dataset is based on the signals,
• determine, with an edge detector, a set of indicators of candidate discontinuities in the formation based on the seismic dataset,
• label, with a neural network processor, a subset of the set of indicators of candidate discontinuities using a neural network with a label based on the set of indicators of candidate discontinuities, wherein the label distinguishes an indicator of a candidate discontinuity between being an indicator of a target discontinuity or being an indicator of a non-target discontinuity, and
• determine a position of a geological feature in the formation, wherein the geological feature in the formation is associated with at least one target discontinuity based on the subset of the set of indicators of candidate discontinuities.
