Abstract
The ability to delineate geologic facies and to
estimate their properties from sparse data is essential for
modeling physical and biochemical processes occurring in the
subsurface. If such data are poorly differentiated, this
challenging task is complicated further by preventing a clear
distinction between different hydrofacies even at locations where
data are available. We study the problem of facies delineation in
geologic formations by means of the Support Vector Machine
(SVM). To show the potential of the SVM, we randomly generate a
two-dimensional porous medium composed of two heterogeneous
materials, and then reconstruct boundaries between these materials
from a few data points. We assess the performance and accuracy of
the SVM-based facies delineation technique and assess in the
presence of either well differentiated or poorly differentiated
information about hydraulic parameters, such as hydraulic
conductivity.
