A Generative-AI Modeling Framework for Explainable Decision Support in Complex Geosteering Scenarios
Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →The paper presents a real‑time, AI‑driven geosteering workflow that combines Generative Adversarial Networks for geological parameterization, ensemble methods for model updating, and dynamic programming optimization for decision support during directional drilling. The framework uses offline GAN training to generate realistic geology realizations and a Forward Neural Network to predict Logging‑While‑Drilling tool responses, enabling progressive reduction of subsurface uncertainty around the drilling bit. Tested on a low‑net‑to‑gross drilling scenario, the prototype delivers steering recommendations and automatically maps formation boundaries along the well path.
