Structural models and reservoir models don't always agree. Robin Dommisse, Senior 3D Geological Modeling Advisor at UT Austin's Bureau of Economic Geology, has spent decades closing that gap.

At the AI Machine Learning Symposium, his session "Connecting Seismic, Wells, and 3D Geological Models" will show how Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs), seismic attributes and well-log lithofacies come together to generate detailed 3D lithofacies predictions — and speed up fault detection and reservoir characterization along the way.

Seats are limited! Register below to hear it in person on 11 November, 2026 in Houston.

WATCH: The series finale of Big Bang to Geologic Geobodies is finally here!

Ten episodes, one question: how do we get from the physical world and raw measurements to interpretable geologic bodies?

In the finale, it all comes together. Dr. Tom Smith looks at tuning thickness, shows how multi-attribute Self-Organizing Map (SOM) analysis can extend interpretation below conventional resolution limits, and then takes the final step from SOM classifications to geologic geobodies tied to structure and lithology.

If you're new to geoscience, this episode is a useful look at how many of the concepts introduced throughout the series connect inside a real seismic interpretation workflow.

What are you missing in your seismic data? 🔍 We might know the answer.

On Tuesday, 15 September, join Geophysical Insights in Midland for a complimentary luncheon examining machine learning for seismic interpretation.

Industry experts Deborah Sacrey (Former President, AAPG) and Robin Dommisse (Sr. Geomodeler, Bureau of Economic Geology at UT Austin) will share real their Permian Basin applications of AI and machine learning — from revealing subtle stratigraphic and reservoir features to cutting one carbonate characterization study from weeks to under 12 hours.

If you’re with an E&P company and want to see how these workflows are being applied in the Permian, we’d love to see you there. Register using the link below! ⬇️

Midland geoscientists: lunch is on us. 🍽️

On Tuesday, 15 September, Geophysical Insights is hosting a complimentary luncheon during the WTGS & SWS AAPG Centennial Conference.

If you are with an E&P company, we'd be delighted for you to join us.

We're bringing two practical case studies on applying machine learning to seismic data in the Permian Basin, featuring industry experts Deborah Sacrey (Former President, AAPG) and Robin Dommisse (Sr. Geomodeler with the Bureau of Economic Geology, UT Austin).

How do you turn a continuous seismic signal into something you can actually classify?

In Part 6 of the Big Bang series, Dr. Tom Smith connects statistics to the subsurface, explaining how probability distributions and quantization can help break seismic data into meaningful ranges. From there, he shows how those concepts can be used to define and identify geologic geobodies in seismic data. 🧮

Geophysical Insights will officially be attending the 2026 West Texas Geological Society (WTGS) & Southwest Section (SWS) of AAPG Centennial Conference in Midland, Texas! 🌾

From 12–16 September, we'll be at the Bush Convention Center to celebrate 100 years of the WTGS and discover what’s next for the Permian Basin.

Visit our team at Booth # 31 to see how interpreters can uncover subtle features and get more from complex seismic data with the Paradise AI Workbench.

Happy 100th to the WTGS!
