Subsurface sedimentary structure identification using deep learning: A review

Chuanjun Zhan et al.

Summary: The reliable identification of subsurface sedimentary structures is critical in various earth and environmental sciences, petroleum reservoir engineering, and other porous media-related applications. Deep learning (DL)-based methods have recently gained increasing interest in this field due to their significantly higher efficiency and accuracy compared to traditional methods. This review discusses the application of DL-based methods for subsurface sedimentary structure identification, highlighting the differences between DL-based and traditional methods, summarizing the limitations and challenges of existing DL-based methods, and exploring future research directions.

New evidence for crustal reworking and juvenile arc-magmatism during the Palaeoproterozoic Eburnean events in the Suhum Basin, South-east Ghana

Prince Ofori Amponsah et al.

Summary: Contrary to previous understanding, research on typical zircon samples from gneisses and intrusive leucogranites in the Suhum Basin in SE Ghana suggests that Neoarchean crustal material was involved in the formation of the Palaeoproterozoic juvenile crust of the Birimian terranes in Ghana. U-Pb dating and Lu-Hf isotopic analysis of the zircons indicate that crust-forming events occurred within the Suhum Basin over a time interval of 139 Ma, from 2224 to 2085 Ma, during different contemporaneous magmatic episodes. Whole-rock Lu-Hf data for the gneissic and leucogranitic rocks show model ages (T-DM2) ranging from 2789 to 2456 Ma with eHf(t) values ranging from -1.1 to +5.4, suggesting that the magmas that formed these rocks originated from the early Palaeoproterozoic juvenile mantle with significant reworking of Neoarchean crustal material.

Geology, zircon U-Pb dating and εHf data for the Julie greenstone belt and associated rocks in NW Ghana: Implications for Birimian-to-Tarkwaian correlation and crustal evolution

Samuel Nunoo et al.

Summary: The Julie greenstone belt in NW Ghana consists mainly of volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks, with an unconformable contact separating the two. Two major deformational events have been identified in the region, with the rocks undergoing metamorphism during these events. The age of the rocks in the area indicates a Paleoproterozoic origin, with zircon ages from various samples falling within a specific range.

Nonlinear seismic inversion by physics-informed Caianiello convolutional neural networks for overpressure prediction of source rocks in the offshore Xihu depression, East China

Yifan Cheng et al.

Summary: Pressure prediction in petroleum geology has traditionally been limited to moderately overpressured formations. However, in the Xihu depression, overpressures caused by natural gas generation result in high-pressure structures with thick mud-coated thin sand reservoirs, posing challenges for traditional methods. To address this, a physics-informed Caianiello convolutional neural network (CCNN) approach is proposed, which combines deterministic and statistical mechanisms for overpressure prediction. The comprehensive CCNN-based seismic inversion scheme demonstrates applicability in the Xihu depression, with the potential to improve prediction accuracy through the addition of new data.

Neodymium isotope composition of Palaeoproterozoic Birimian shales from the Wa-Lawra Belt, north-west Ghana: Constraints on provenance

Marian S. Sapah et al.

Summary: The Nd-isotopic study of Palaeoproterozoic Birimian shales from the Wa-Lawra volcanic belt reveals that the shales were mainly derived from juvenile Palaeoproterozoic crust with a minor contribution from older crustal material. The study indicates a mixing process between Palaeoproterozoic volcanic arc rocks and Archean continental crustal rocks to explain the provenance of the Birimian shales. Provenance modeling suggests that the shales received a significant amount of detritus from a juvenile Birimian volcanic arc, with a small percentage derived from Archean continental crust.

Assessing the effects of mineral systems-derived exploration targeting criteria for random Forests-based predictive mapping of mineral prospectivity in Ahar-Arasbaran area, Iran

Mohammad Parsa et al.

Summary: This study conducted a sensitivity analysis of exploration targeting criteria using three parameters to evaluate their impact on RF-based MPM. It was found that criteria poorly linked to known deposit sites deteriorate the performance of MPM, while their exclusion can significantly improve it. The sensitivity analysis employed in this study reduces the search space for supplementary surveys and enhances the correlation of models with known mineralized sites, leading to an improved performance of data-driven MPM.
