Automatic interpretation has been a thing for decades and the promise of replacing a geoscientist completely is always just over the horizon. Even with DL. The new tools are better yes, but honestly I wouldn’t invest in this space. Conventional interpretation is dead in the US. All the geos got laid off.
I’m going to call bullshit. No artificially generated well log is going to ever be better than a physically measured log.
- stevejpurves 5y agoI agreed with you up until the last paragraph. Generating data that cannot be told apart from any real data, cave ins and all, is probably one area where this can succeed. Your other comment about picking the horizon of interest is really on point, that's where automated interpretation as it's been buzzworded to hell to date as had had no chance and has never lived up to how it was pitched. Many tools just made the problem worse. That fact that this might change in some distant future, well it may be solved in some capacity but is it really worth the effort? Given that exploration has a limited future.
