Machine learning and AVO class II workflow for hydrocarbon prospectivity in the Messinian offshore Nile Delta Egypt by Nadia Abd-Elfattah, Aia Dahroug, Manal El Kammar, Ramy Fahmy

“…This method is particularly useful for identifying low seismic amplitude anomalies, which are often challenging to detect with conventional seismic analysis. (1) This study developed a workflow to detect low seismic amplitude gas fields in near-field exploration. (2) It uses a machine learning algorithm to classify and explore low-seismic-amplitude gas sand reservoirs. (3) This approach helps estimate the likelihood of success and reduces the risk associated with hydrocarbon exploration wells.…”
