System and Method For Characterizing Geological Systems Using Statistical Methodologies

摘要

Geological systems are automatically categorized based on one or more characteristics. Datasets from one or more sources related to a space of a geological system are transformed, cropped and analyzed using lacunarity-based statistical methodologies. The one or more analyzed datasets describe characteristics of the transformed dataset within the space of the geological system. The characteristics of the distribution of the transformed dataset are compared with one or more characteristics of one or more previously categorized geological systems. The space within the geological system is categorized based upon an indication that the characteristics of the transformed data set of the space within the geological system is similar to the characteristics of one or more previously categorized geological systems.

1. A method for categorizing geological systems comprising:
transforming one or more datasets of a space within a first geological system into a transformed dataset in accordance with one or more selected criterion; cropping the transformed dataset to provide a transformed dataset of the space within the first geological system having consistent heterogeneity; analyzing the lacunarity within the cropped transformed dataset to provide an analyzed dataset which describes characteristics of the distribution of the transformed dataset within the space; comparing the characteristics of the distribution of the transformed dataset with one or more characteristics of one or more previously categorized geological systems; and, categorizing the space based upon an indication that the characteristics of the transformed data set of the space within the first geological system are similar to the characteristics of one or more previously categorized geological systems.
