Expert guided knowledge acquisition system for analyzing seismic data

A seismic data analysis system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a display configured to display graphical representations of a seismic data set;
• wherein the seismic data analysis system is configured to:
• receive training data that comprises one or more seed points of an identified geobody;
• determine a trajectory of the identified geobody;
• display the trajectory;
• receive inputs expanding the trajectory, shrinking the trajectory, confirming the trajectory, or a combination thereof;
• train a classification algorithm based upon the trajectory;
• run the classification algorithm on the seismic data set to identify one or more possible geobody trajectories within the seismic data set;
• and
• retrain the classification algorithm based on feedback received from a reviewer.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions that when executed cause a processor to:

• retrieve a seismic data set;
• receive training data that comprises one or more seed points of an identified geobody;
• determine a trajectory of the identified geobody;
• display the trajectory;
• receive inputs expanding the trajectory, shrinking the trajectory, confirming the trajectory, or a combination thereof;
• train a classification algorithm based upon the trajectory;
• run the classification algorithm on the seismic data set to identify one or more possible geobodies within the seismic data set;
• skeletonize the one or more possible geobodies to extract one or more possible geobody trajectories;
• rank the one or more possible geobody trajectories based on confidence;
• display the one or more possible geobody trajectories in order of rank;
• and
• retrain the classification algorithm based on feedback received from a reviewer.
