Searching for analogue subsurface structures based on topological knowledge representation (TKR)

A system for retrieving analogues using topological knowledge representation (TKR), the system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions executable to:
• use a domain-specific knowledge base (KB) to build and/or validate a TKR input query;
• search a search database to retrieve at least one analogue of the TKR input query using statistical analysis.

A computer program product for retrieving analogues using topological knowledge representation (TKR), the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by one or more processors, to perform a method comprising:

• using a domain-specific knowledge base (KB) to build and/or validate a TKR input query;
• searching a search database to retrieve at least one analogue of the TKR input query using statistical analysis.

A method of retrieving analogues using topological knowledge representation (TKR), the method comprising:

• using a domain-specific knowledge base (KB) to build and/or validate a TKR input query;
• matching the TKR input query with topological data from a search database to retrieve at least one analogue of the TKR input query.
