<div style="margin-top:14pt; margin-bottom:14pt"><font face="Arial" size="2">Data collected for subsurface characterization and prospecting is voluminous, diverse and rich in domain and physics context. Data driven approaches have begun to show promise in a
variety of applications but need to incorporate the known physics and domain information which have hereunto been the basis for interpretation and decision making. Here we will discuss the use of deep learning models in a couple of selected use cases which
will highlight the use of both supervised and unsupervised approaches to address complex scenarios. For the former, models are trained on realistic synthetic data based on physics based simulators and applied via transfer learning to real field data. Unsupervised
and semi-supervised approaches use deep generative models such as Variational Auto-encoders and Generative Adversarial Networks with conditioning on known information and physics to discover structure without the need for comprehensive labeled data, a common
situation for subsurface scenarios. Examples will include applications in the evaluation of the integrity of cemented oilwells and for matching geological context to producing oil reservoirs.</font></div>

help with the preparation of the dishes and with the cleaning afterwards, or by playing with the kids (we are a kids frendly group).</font></p>
