A digital trailblazer paves the way for others, creating a substantial impact and serving as a precursor to further digital innovation and value creation in the subsurface geoscience community.
At the upcoming Dig X Subsurface conference in Oslo in March, we will present the winner of the Digital Trailblazer Award 2024.
We are thrilled to announce that Aina Juell Bugge, Senior Data Scientist at Aker BP, is one of the nominees.
Bugge has a Master of Science and a PhD from the University of Oslo. The PhD project was done in collaboration with Lundin Energy’s GeoLab and focused on integrated in-house processing and data analysis.
Aina Juell Bugge is both a keen geoscientist/geophysicist, as well as a data scientist. This combination gives her a unique ability to have close interactivity with the seismic processers and the seismic interpreters, thereby achieving a common understanding of data quality challenges and possibilities for data improvement.
Her exceptional geoscientist/data scientist background and work have ultimately led to a series of “One-Click” machine learning-based applications that function as plugins for the Petrel interpretation software.
These applications have proved to be time-saving by imitating the most common post-stack processing workflows to clean up seismic data, thus allowing processing geophysicists to devote more time to other, more complex problems.
Aina Juell Bugge has been at the forefront of testing in-house, and communicating to a larger community, the possibilities that the fast-evolving AI/ML methods and techniques may offer for explorationists.
