contents Assessing the safety and environmental impacts of subsurface resource exploitation and management is critical and requires robust geomechanical modeling. However, uncertainties stemming from model assumptions, intrinsic variability of governing parameters, and data errors challenge the reliability of predictions. In the absence of direct measurements, inverse modeling and stochastic data assimilation methods can offer reliable solutions, but in complex and large-scale settings, the computational expense can become prohibitive. To address these challenges, this paper presents a deep learning-based surrogate model (SurMoDeL) designed for seismic data assimilation in fault activation modeling. The surrogate model leverages neural networks to provide simplified yet accurate representations of complex geophysical systems, enabling faster simulations and analyses essential for uncertainty quantification. The work proposes two different methods to integrate an understanding of fault behavior into the model, thereby enhancing the accuracy of its predictions. The application of the proxy model to integrate seismic data through effective data assimilation techniques efficiently constrains the uncertain parameters, thus bridging the gap between theoretical models and real-world observations.
