Automatic classification of lithofacies using fast independent component analysis

The problem of automatic classification of facies was addressed using the Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA) of a data set of geophysical well logs of the Namorado Field, Campos Basin, Brazil, followed by a k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) classification. The goal of an automatic classification of facies is to produce spatial models of facies that assist the geological characterization of petroleum reservoirs. The FastICA technique provides a new data set that has the most stable and less Gaussian distribution possible. The k-NN classifies this new data set according to its characteristics. The previous application of FastICA improves the accuracy of the k-NN automatic classification and it also provides better results in comparison with the automatic classification by means of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). © 2015 Sociedade Brasileira de Geofísica.The problem of automatic classification of facies was addressed using the Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA) of a data set of geophysical well logs of the Namorado Field, Campos Basin, Brazil, followed by a k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) classification.
