Researchers have developed SubsurfaceGen, a GPU-accelerated tool for generating realistic, field-scale 3D velocity models and seismic data. This new system addresses limitations in existing datasets for machine learning approaches to full waveform inversion (FWI). The accompanying dataset includes 4,276 2D velocity slices and seismic data from 42 diverse geological settings, designed to improve ML-based FWI for applications like carbon sequestration and hydrocarbon exploration.
