Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geophysical technology, specifically to a method, apparatus, storage medium, and device for predicting diagenesis of terrestrial mudstone and shale. Background Technology
[0002] Compared to sandstone and carbonate rocks, shale and mudstone have smaller grain sizes, making them more difficult to observe. Furthermore, limitations in microscopic experimental conditions have made their diagenesis a weak area of research in sedimentology and even geology. The diagenesis of shale and mudstone is constrained by the evolution of physical, chemical, and biological factors, and the driving mechanisms are complex and variable due to the superposition of actual geological conditions and complex factors. Moreover, microorganisms participate in almost all diagenetic processes, making diagenesis a typical biogeochemical process. Characteristics inherited from early diagenesis can influence the progress of intermediate and late-stage diagenesis, thus affecting the physical and mechanical properties of shale and mudstone strata. Controlled by complex actual geological conditions, especially the limitations in research on the material transport processes and mechanisms during intermediate and late-stage diagenesis, research on the driving mechanisms and evolutionary paths of diagenesis is relatively weak, and the control mechanisms of diagenesis are exceptionally complex. In addition, during diagenesis, deformation and fracture morphology are usually related to stress distribution and geometry.
[0003] Diagenesis refers to the effects of physical, chemical, and / or biological processes on the structure and mineral composition of rocks during sedimentation and diagenesis. Diagenesis continues as long as sediments are in contact with sufficient amounts of chemically active fluids, whether atmospheric or marine (brackish, normal, or hypersaline). Diagenesis is typically confined to low-temperature and low-pressure conditions, explicitly excluding processes and products associated with metamorphism. Diagenetic processes are usually associated with the diagenetic environment, which provides the overall framework for interpreting the geometry of cementation and porous units. Several factors influence diagenesis, including key chemical conditions (redox conditions, pH, and CO2), diffusion and ion exchange rates, the ratio of low-Mg calcite to aragonite, erosion rates, pre-diagenetic sediments, grain size, organic matter utilization, the rate and composition of interstitial hydrocarbon fluids, bacterial abundance, clay percentage, and physical conditions. Diagenesis typically reduces total porosity through various forms of cementation and mineral growth, and may also increase porosity by leaching the matrix of particles (dissolution) to form secondary pore spaces or by creating / redistributing pores through dolomitization.
[0004] However, current technology makes it difficult to accurately predict the diagenesis of terrestrial mudstones and shale. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method, apparatus, storage medium, and device for predicting diagenesis of terrestrial mudstone and shale, which can accurately predict diagenesis of terrestrial mudstone and shale.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] The method for predicting diagenesis of terrestrial mudstones and shale as described in this invention includes the following steps:
[0008] 1) Extract the reservoir characteristics of continental mudstone and shale, obtain the Archie parameters in continental mudstone and shale, determine the cementation coefficient m of continental mudstone and shale through three-dimensional regression, and calculate the diagenetic coefficient MD;
[0009] 2) Based on the diagenetic coefficient, determine the most sensitive parameter data for diagenesis, and divide the most sensitive parameter data into training set, validation set and test set;
[0010] 3) Establish an artificial neural network model based on Archie parameters and cementation coefficients, and train the artificial neural network model using the training set;
[0011] 4) Continuously test the model's error during the training process of the artificial neural network model using validation and test sets;
[0012] 5) Evaluate the performance of the trained artificial neural network model. If the performance is acceptable, proceed to step 6); otherwise, return to step 3.
[0013] 6) Predict the diagenesis of terrestrial mudstones and shale using artificial neural network models with good performance acceptance.
[0014] Preferably, in step 1) above, the method involves using Resform software to extract the characteristics of continental mudstone and shale reservoirs and using Pickett Plot technology to obtain Archie parameters in continental mudstone and shale.

[0016] The method described herein, preferably, involves determining the cementation coefficient m of terrestrial mudstone and shale through three-dimensional regression in step 1) as follows:
[0017] In rock physics, the formation coefficient F and effective porosity Representing the fundamental parameters controlling electrical properties, these are physically measured using resistivity and porosity logging or conventional core analysis. Mathematically, the formation coefficient is related to resistivity as follows:
[0018]
[0019] In the formula, F is the formation coefficient; R o R represents the true resistivity of the water-saturated formation. w The resistivity of formation water; is the effective porosity; a is the rock-related proportionality coefficient, ranging from 0.6 to 1.55; m is the cementation coefficient of terrestrial mudstone and shale;
[0020] The formation water saturation S is quantitatively calculated using the formation coefficient F in formula (1). w :
[0021]
[0022] In the formula, S w R represents formation water saturation; n represents the saturation index; R t This represents the true resistivity of the geological formation rocks;

[0028] Therefore, formula (5) can be rewritten as the formula for each physical measurement point i:
[0029] Z i =-A+mX i +nY i (6)
[0030] Among them, parameters X, Y, and Z are related to the logging curve, A = loga, and a, m, and n are obtained by constructing three different equations through drilling records at different physical measurement points i. Formula (7) is obtained by summing formula (6) over N measurement points. Formulas (8) and (9) are obtained by multiplying formula (7) by ∑X. i and ∑Y i The three equations are as follows:
[0031] ∑Z i =-N*A+m*∑X i +n*∑Y i (7)
[0032]
[0033] ∑Y i Z i =-N*A*∑Y i +m*∑X i Y i +n*∑Y i 2 (9)
[0034] By using MATLAB to simultaneously solve the system of equations consisting of formulas (7)-(9), the values of A, m, and n are obtained. The results are then compared with those obtained by the Picket Plot technique to obtain a reasonable cementation coefficient m for terrestrial mudstone and shale.
[0035] The method described herein, preferably, uses a diagenetic coefficient MD that can be expressed by formula (10):
[0036] MD=m 2 +m*(S wr -S wa (10)

[0073] Furthermore, equation (5) can be decomposed into three new equations, which can serve as plane equations in three-dimensional space with x, y, and z coordinates:
[0074] Therefore, formula (5) can be rewritten as the formula for each physical measurement point i:
[0075] Z i =-A+mX i +nY i (6)
[0076] Among them, parameters X, Y, and Z are related to the logging curve, A = loga, and a, m, and n are obtained by constructing three different equations through drilling records at different physical measurement points i. Formula (7) is obtained by summing formula (6) over N measurement points. Formulas (8) and (9) are obtained by multiplying formula (7) by ∑X. i and ∑Y i The three equations are as follows:

[0080] The values of A, m, and n were obtained by simultaneously solving the system of equations consisting of formulas (7)-(9) using MATLAB. The results were then compared with those obtained by the Picket Plot technique to obtain the cementation coefficient m of the reasonable terrestrial mudstone and shale.
[0081] In the above embodiments, preferably, the diagenetic coefficient MD can be expressed by formula (10):

[0094] Additionally, it should be noted that, to facilitate the calculation of the diagenetic coefficient (MD), a feedforward backpropagation artificial neural network technique was developed to link the diagenetic coefficient MD with direct logging measurements. To achieve this, formula (6) uses Microsoft Excel's relative importance algorithm to determine the most sensitive parameter, thereby deriving the MD coefficient and subsequently the correlation between the MD coefficient and the logging measurement value. Among various logging parameters (S... wr -S wa In ), NPHI, PHIE, S w Gamma rays and calculated MD coefficients show a high correlation. LLS and LLD logging are highly correlated due to (S wr -S waThe data were well-represented but overlooked. A total of 3077 measurements were used to construct the artificial neural network, of which 70% (2156) were randomly selected for training and validation, and the remaining 30% (921) were used for testing. The training of the artificial neural network involved testing various hidden layer configurations, different numbers of neutrons per layer, and various types of activation functions. In addition, several learning techniques that modified the weights and biases of individual input variables were tested to help establish a stable computational system. The optimal artificial neural network structure was determined based on the best correlation between the artificial neural network prediction coefficients and the diagenetic coefficients “MD” calculated according to formula (11). Finally, the developed neural network structure was tested with the remaining 30% of the total data, and the performance of the neural network prediction was guaranteed by comparing the output of the artificial neural network with the actual target “MD” coefficients. The performance and development of the artificial neural network were evaluated using the techniques described by Abdulaziz et al. All logging calculations and interpretations were performed using Resform software, and the construction and prediction management of the artificial neural network and three-dimensional regression were performed using MATLAB 2016b.
