- Abstract
Geological fault detection is a crucial aspect of oil exploration. With the advancements in deep learning, the challenging task of accurate fault detection has gained popularity. While traditional deep learning methods struggle due to the small sample problem and the labor-intensive fault labeling process, training a deep learning model solely on synthetic seismic data may not yield satisfactory results due to the disparities between synthetic and real seismic data. To mitigate the impact of these differences, we propose employing an instance weighting (IW)-based transfer learning (TL). This approach involves utilizing a pretrained deep-learning model to extract fault-related features from seismic data. By leveraging the knowledge learned from a different but related task, the TL model can capture general fault patterns that can be applicable to real seismic data. In this framework, a portion of the pretrained model is employed to learn fault-related features, which can then be fine-tuned using a smaller amount of labeled real seismic data. This allows the model to adapt to the complexities of the actual geological situation and improve fault detection performance in field data applications. The proposed method has been tested on the Indian Krishna Godavari Basin dataset. The method yields satisfying results in spite of the high imbalance between the fault and nonfault classes.
