AI Applications in the Subsurface: Machine Learning and Digital Rock Innovations for Reservoir Characterization and Modeling

Thursday, 22 October
Room 371 CF
Technical Session
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly transforming subsurface engineering by enabling more accurate, interpretable, and physics-consistent predictions across reservoir characterization, geomechanics, well log interpretation, and flow simulation. This session brings together recent advances in physics-guided machine learning, transformer architectures, agentic AI systems, digital rock workflows, and uncertainty-aware modeling approaches. The presentations will highlight innovative methods for permeability prediction, lithofacies classification, pressure transient analysis, borehole image interpretation, geological parameterization, and multi-phase numerical simulation. Emphasis will be placed on interpretable AI, integration with physics-based models, and practical applications for heterogeneous clastic and carbonate reservoirs. This session aims to bridge research and field implementation while demonstrating how AI-driven workflows are shaping the next generation of subsurface engineering.
