[0039] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technical personnel in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, a well logging lithofacies intelligent prediction method based on virtual core lithofacies samples comprises the following steps:

[0041] S1: Acquire virtual sample data, where the virtual sample data includes virtual core lithofacies data and corresponding virtual logging curve data;

[0042] S2: constructing a well logging lithofacies machine learning model, and training the well logging lithofacies machine learning model through the virtual sample data to obtain a trained well logging lithofacies machine learning model;

[0043] S3: Obtaining core lithofacies data and corresponding logging curve data of the actual drilling section and performing transfer learning training on the trained logging lithofacies machine learning model to obtain a final model;

[0044] S4: Obtain the logging curve data of the uncored section and the layer section without core lithofacies data and input them into the final model to obtain the predicted core lithofacies data of the layer section.

[0045] The specific process of obtaining virtual sample data is as follows:

[0046] Acquire core lithofacies data and well logging curve data of the coring section, and construct a lithofacies-well logging curve geostatistical model based on the core lithofacies data and well logging curve data of the coring section;

[0047] The lithofacies-well logging curve geostatistical model is used to simulate and generate a plurality of virtual core lithofacies data and corresponding virtual logging curve data as virtual sample data.

[0048] The lithofacies-well logging curve geostatistical model includes a percentage function of each lithofacies and a variation function of each lithofacies.

[0049] The model structures of the well logging lithofacies machine learning model and the trained well logging lithofacies machine learning model both include an input layer, an LSTM layer, a fully connected layer, a pooling layer and an output layer connected in sequence; the model parameters are all solved using the Adam algorithm.

[0050] In this embodiment, a complex carbonate reservoir in a certain area of ​​the Tarim Basin is taken as an example to perform intelligent prediction of well logging lithofacies. The specific process is as follows:

[0051] Step 1: Use the core lithofacies data and logging data of the coring section to establish a one-dimensional geostatistical model of lithofacies and logging curves.

[0052] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, Well A is a typical exploration well in a certain area of ​​the Tarim Basin. There is a relatively long well section of core data in the illustrated layer section, and core lithofacies analysis has been carried out. The rightmost column in the figure is the core lithofacies description result, among which the core lithofacies include limestone, dolomitic limestone, dolomite, lime dolomite, gypsum, and gypsum dolomite.

[0053] Using the core lithofacies data and logging curves of the coring section, a one-dimensional geostatistical model of lithofacies (discrete attributes) and curves (continuous attributes) can be established. Figure 3 As shown in Figure 1, the one-dimensional geostatistical model of lithofacies includes the percentage of each lithofacies (a) and the variation function of each lithofacies (b). Similarly, for the one-dimensional geostatistical model of the curve (continuous attribute), (c) is the GR curve data histogram and probability density curve under each lithofacies, and (d) is the variation function of the GR curve under the dolomite facies.

[0054] Step 2: Implement geostatistical simulation of lithofacies-well logging curves and establish a virtual core lithofacies sample library.

[0055] Specifically, the established one-dimensional geostatistical model can be used to simulate and generate multiple virtual core lithofacies data (discrete attributes) and their corresponding virtual logging curves (continuous attributes). Figure 4 As shown, in Figure 1 In the coring section of Well A, the lithofacies column on the left is the virtual core lithofacies generated by geostatistical model simulation, and the remaining columns are virtual logging curves simulated by geostatistics based on the virtual core lithofacies. Figure 2 and Figure 4 , virtual wells can effectively expand samples based on geostatistical models.

[0056] Step 3: Using the virtual sample library as training data, a well logging lithofacies machine learning model is trained to predict core lithofacies using well logging curves.

[0057] Specifically, the training of the well logging lithofacies machine learning model mainly includes the construction of the machine learning model structure and the determination of the machine learning parameters. Figure 5As shown in the figure, in this step, the machine learning model structure used includes input layer, long short-term memory artificial neural network layer (long short-term memory, LSTM), fully connected layer, pooling layer and output layer. The machine learning model parameters are solved using the adaptive moment estimation algorithm (Adaptive moment estimation, Adam) method. The training data used is the virtual core lithofacies sample library. Figure 6 For this method Figure 4 The rightmost column in the figure shows the core lithofacies results predicted by the machine learning model. The predicted results in the rightmost column are highly matched with the sample data in the leftmost column, indicating that the machine learning model can be effectively closed.

[0058] Step 4: Use the machine learning model trained with the virtual sample library as the initial model, and the core lithofacies-logging data of the actual drilling section as the training data to achieve transfer learning of the logging lithofacies machine learning model.

[0059] Specifically, the well logging lithofacies machine learning model trained based on the virtual sample library is used as the initial model, and the core lithofacies of the actual drilling coring section and the logging curves of the corresponding depth are used as input to perform transfer learning on the well logging lithofacies machine learning model. The implementation of transfer learning uses the same machine learning model as the well logging lithofacies machine learning model trained based on the virtual sample library ( Figure 5 ) and the model parameter solving method (Adam), the difference mainly lies in the difference between the initial model and the training data. Figure 7 The well logging lithofacies machine learning model trained for transfer learning is Figure 2 The prediction results of the coring section of the A exploration well in the figure. The first column on the right side of the figure shows the lithofacies predicted by the machine learning model, and the second column on the right side shows the lithofacies description of the coring section. The high similarity between the two verifies the prediction ability of the machine learning model.

[0060] Step 5: For the uncored sections and the layers without core lithofacies description data, the well logging data is used as input, and the well logging lithofacies prediction model after transfer learning is used to realize the lithofacies intelligent prediction of a large number of wells and long well sections.

[0061] Specifically, the well logging lithofacies machine learning model established in the first four steps is applied to the B exploration well with no coring data in the same work area as the A well to perform intelligent lithofacies prediction. Figure 8As shown in the figure, the lithofacies results predicted in the rightmost column realize the lithofacies transition characteristics from deep to shallow and from dolomite to limestone in the vertical direction. Based on the predicted lithofacies transition trend, the thin-layer lithology changes in dolomite and limestone can also be described in detail. The gypsum and gypsum dolomite encountered in Well A changed to limestone in Well B, revealing the lateral changes of lithofacies, guiding the lateral prediction and understanding of lithofacies, and providing a research basis for the subsequent characterization of dominant sedimentary facies belts and lithofacies belts.
