Abstract
A method can include receiving seismic data-based interpretations for discontinuities in a subsurface geologic region; automatically assessing the interpretations, with respect to a type of action for joining individual pairs of the discontinuities, to generate ranked individual pairs of the discontinuities; and performing the type of action for joining a number of the ranked individual pairs of the discontinuities to improve accuracy of a model of the subsurface geologic region.

A method comprising:
- receiving seismic data-based interpretations for discontinuities in a subsurface geologic region;
- automatically assessing the interpretations, with respect to a type of action for joining individual pairs of the discontinuities, to generate ranked individual pairs of the discontinuities;
- and
- performing the type of action for joining a number of the ranked individual pairs of the discontinuities to improve accuracy of a model of the subsurface geologic region.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory operatively coupled to the processor;
- and
- processor-executable instructions stored in the memory and executable to instruct the system to:
- receive seismic data-based interpretations for discontinuities in a subsurface geologic region;
- automatically assess the interpretations, with respect to a type of action for joining individual pairs of the discontinuities, to generate ranked individual pairs of the discontinuities;
- and
- perform the type of action for joining a number of the ranked individual pairs of the discontinuities to improve accuracy of a model of the subsurface geologic region.
One or more computer-readable storage media comprising processor-executable instructions executable by a system to instruct the system to:
- receive seismic data-based interpretations for discontinuities in a subsurface geologic region;
- automatically assess the interpretations, with respect to a type of action for joining individual pairs of the discontinuities, to generate ranked individual pairs of the discontinuities;
- and
- perform the type of action for joining a number of the ranked individual pairs of the discontinuities to improve accuracy of a model of the subsurface geologic region.
