Abstract
The salt body is one of the important structures in reservoirs, but there are still challenges in fully interpreting salt bodies from three-dimensional seismic data. In actual exploration and production operations, the characteristics of salt bodies in most three-dimensional seismic slices are not obvious, making it difficult to obtain labeled samples for salt bodies. The complex structural features of salt bodies, which are similar to background features, severely interfere with the accuracy of salt body interpretation, leading to prominent issues of multi-solution prediction. To address these problems, we treat salt body interpretation as a semantic segmentation problem of three-dimensional seismic images and propose 3D Salt-Net. We have designed a self-training paradigm based on optical flow estimation and multi-level constraints to overcome the difficulty of obtaining labeled samples for salt bodies and provide high-quality pseudo-labels. Based on this, we establish a mapping relationship between three-dimensional seismic data and three-dimensional salt body masks to ensure the spatial continuity and smoothness of salt body predictions. In addition, we have designed two plug-and-play salt body attention modules to collectively address the issues of blurred edge features of salt bodies and interference from background similarity in the prediction results. We conducted experiments on the SEAM and F3 seismic datasets, using only 3% of the labels for training, while the rest were used for validation. Experimental results demonstrate that the 3D Salt-Net method outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods in terms of salt body segmentation and achieves satisfactory results.
