Abstract(in English) Investigating the permeability and elastic wave velocity of rocks covering the surface of the earth is central in petroleum resource exploration, CO$_2$ storage, and earthquake and volcanic prediction, and is the basis of geophysical surveys. Among them, the permeability is one of the most basic parameters to evaluate the reservoir. Laboratory experiments for permeability estimation is time and cost-consuming to load high-pressure water on the excavated rock. In recent years, research is progressing to predict the permeability by CT scanning rocks and numerical analysis. On the other hand, numerical analysis also has the drawback that the computational cost of numerical simulation based on fluid mechanics is very high when the resolution of the digital rock is increased. Very recently, estimation of physical property of rock, such as permeability and elastic wave velocity, using deep learning by preparing a large amount of raw data and their feature values is conducted. In this paper, we report the results of predictions of permeability based on 3-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) and ResNet model.
