Abstract
A method for determining a position of a geological feature in a formation includes acquiring a seismic dataset, wherein the seismic dataset is based on signals of one or more seismic sensors and determining a set of indicators of candidate discontinuities in the formation based on the seismic dataset. The method also includes labeling a subset of the set of indicators of candidate discontinuities using a neural network with a label based on the set of indicators of candidate discontinuities, wherein the label distinguishes an indicator of a candidate discontinuity between being an indicator of a target discontinuity or being an indicator of a non-target discontinuity and determining the position of the geological feature in the formation, wherein the geological feature in the formation is associated with at least one target discontinuity based on the subset of the set of indicators of candidate discontinuities.
