[0002] Oil and gas resource spatial distribution prediction refers to a process of quantitatively predicting the occurrence location, scale and probability of underground oil and gas resources in three-dimensional space on the basis of geological, geophysical and geochemical multi-source data, and using mathematical, statistical and artificial intelligence methods. The core goal is to reduce exploration risk and guide efficient development of oil and gas fields. Oil and gas resource spatial distribution prediction is of great significance in oilfield exploration.

[0003] At present, many scholars have conducted research in this field. Chen et al. used the FI method to simulate the oil and gas favorability in the western Sverdrup Basin, Canada. This kind of oil and gas resource assessment method mainly relies on expert experience and geological data, and has the problems of strong subjectivity and insufficient accuracy. In recent years, with the development of data-driven methods, many scholars have proposed prediction models based on machine learning: Hu et al. and Xie et al. integrated multi-dimensional geological attribute variables through Mahalanobis distance, and calculated the oil and gas spatial distribution in the study area by using the Bayes formula. Chen et al. used a support vector machine method for geological risk assessment of oil occurrence in an oil block. Zhu et al. proposed a system method for evaluating geological risk and favorability using a logistic regression algorithm.

[0004] However, the data-driven method is mainly based on discriminant modeling and prediction, and cannot quantitatively express the potential relationship between different geological attributes, and the classification accuracy has a large room for improvement. SUMMARY

Due to differences in the geological characteristics of oil and gas accumulation in different types of basins, the key link controlling accumulation is also different. In order to comprehensively and objectively evaluate the research object, it is necessary to find the geological characteristics and main control factors of accumulation, and to develop a relatively unified evaluation standard.

[0105] The well data set is used for model training, and then the trained model is used to predict the virtual points in the grid data set, and the prediction results are shown in FIG. 2. Figure 2 As can be seen from the figure, the oil and gas probability predicted by our model in the known reserve area is mostly red, i.e. the oil and gas occurrence probability is relatively high, which is consistent with the existing exploration results. In addition, some oil and gas resource favorable areas are still predicted outside the known reserve area, which can show that our model has an important guiding role for the next step of oil well exploration and deployment, and has great practical application value and broad application prospect.
