SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROBABILITY-BASED DETERMINATION OF STRATIGRAPHIC ANOMALIES IN A SUBSURFACE

A method for determining a stratigraphic anomaly in a subsurface of the earth includes receiving raw data x, assigning the rock samples to corresponding stratigraphic units of the subsurface, transforming the raw data x to a centred log-ratios clr(x) dataset, calculating p-values with a pairwise sum...

Zusammenfassung:	A method for determining a stratigraphic anomaly in a subsurface of the earth includes receiving raw data x, assigning the rock samples to corresponding stratigraphic units of the subsurface, transforming the raw data x to a centred log-ratios clr(x) dataset, calculating p-values with a pairwise sum rank test between populations of the centred log-ratios clr(x) dataset, selecting a set of fingerprint elements from the elements of the rock samples, converting raw concentrations corresponding to the set of fingerprint elements to isometric log-ratios ilr data, determining a number of ilr sub-populations within each stratigraphic unit, applying mixture discriminant analysis to the isometric log-ratios ilr data, using the ilr sub-populations to calculate posterior probabilities of the rock samples, and identifying the stratigraphic anomaly based on the posterior probabilities.
