DEEP LEARNING,
AN OPEN WAY
An Unprecedented Design:
Automated Identification of Microfossils
“Automated Identification & Classification of microfossils in support of the Oil & Gas exploration.” Designed to a real time support to the offshore oil rig.
The objective of the project is to structure, develop, and pilot a microfossil automated identification & classification system, to provide Real Time operational support to the activities of exploration and production of oil & gas, in the offshore environment. The description of its fundamentals and future operations focuses on the identification and classification of planktonic foraminifera, however, if successful, it can also be employed to identify other biological species.
The system provides the study and architecture of deep learning neural network for identification & classification of biological markers, from digital images from real samples, through automated selection and classification of fossil species, indicators of geological time line (biozones), contained in 2D/3D digital images.
The project, with features of R&D, offers practical objectives and intend to be applied in the oil industry, based on solid foundations of biostratigraphy, digital image processing of robot operations, supported by deep learning neural network systems.
Finally, the unprecedented proposal is based on the knowledge integration of advanced fields of science (paleontology, graphic and visual computing, and Learning Machine). Therefore, its development will require trials in the mentioned fields to determine the most appropriate actions to accomplish such purposes.
Looking for
Thanks for climbing to the final banner.
After several years negotiating with PETROBRAS the financing to complete the project, the pandemic turmoil seems to frustrate my expectations. Its completion requires the involvement of Deep Learning experts and investors who believe in its economic potential.
This home page aims to draw the attention of partners interested in finalizing the project “Automated Identification & Classification of microfossils in support of the Oil & Gas exploration.”
What I'm looking for:
-
Partners with expertise in Deep Learning Machine in identification and selection of 2D/3D digital images
-
Financing to performer the final stages of the project and to conduct the offshore pilot tests
What is offered:
-
An opportunity to generate a high sophisticated tool
-
Being the owner of a very profitable operating system
-
Solid relationship with PETROBRAS* (as a potential partner)
-
Full mastery of the technique and the system usage
-
Collection of Marker Species from Brazilian sedimentary basins
-
Full-time apply in the project
My best regards
PETROBRAS* - Petróleo Brasileiro SA. – Brazilian State owner oil corporation.
