GEOLOGICAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT USING SIGNATURES FOR HYDROCARBON EXPLORATION

A system is described for determining an analogue geological feature. The system may include a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform various operations. The system may generate, by extracting parameter signatures for geological features, a database including parameters about geological features associated with parameter signatures. The system may receive data including parameters and a feature-type about a geological feature of interest. The system may generate a signature including values for a subset of the feature-of-interest parameters selected based on the geological feature of interest for the feature-of-interest using the data. The system may execute a comparison of the feature signature to the parameter signatures included in the database for identifying an analogue geological feature for the feature of interest. The system may output a subset of parameters for the analogue for use in subterranean exploration.
