Soft computing and intelligent data analysis in oil exploration / Программные вычисления и анализ данных при разведке нефти

In his foreword to "Soft Computing for Reservoir Characterization and Modeling", Dr. Bertrand Braunschweig posed the question: "What's next?". In this companion volume, the authors have provided an imaginative and comprehensive answer. They have extended the application of soft computing techniques to methodologies used for oil exploration in general and have indicated how these increasingly popular methodologies can be integrated with our more traditional industry techniques. In this collection of articles you will find contributions from largely diverse disciplines, ranging from geostatistics and time lapse seismic to biostratigraphy and core analysis. <...>
