Augmented geological service characterization

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor that, when executing instructions stored on the memory, provides:
• an initialization unit configured to generate a geological service characterization process in response to one or more geological service objectives and a geological service experience information set;
• a machine learning unit configured to receive information generated in response to the geological service characterization process and configured to augment the geological service characterization process by machine learning in response to a training information set;
• and
• a program execution unit configured to receive determination information from the machine learning unit and to generate an augmented geological service characterization process in response to the determination information, the generating the augmented geological service characterization process including generating a data acquisition protocol to be conducted using a data acquisition system, and the generating the data acquisition protocol including specifying a set of measurements to be taken using the data acquisition system.

A method for generating a data acquisition program, comprising:

• receiving, at an input interface, a geological service objective;
• receiving a geological service experience information set at the input interface;
• generating, by a data processor coupled to the input interface, a specification of a set of measurements to be taken by a data acquisition system in response to the geological service objective and the geological service experience information;
• and
• providing an output including the specification of the set of measurements.
