[0044] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for determining porosity by using well logging interpretation and image recognition provided in an embodiment of the present application; The method for determining porosity by using well logging interpretation and image recognition provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0045] S110, using logging interpretation and image recognition to obtain structural parameters of shale samples; the structural parameters include TOC content, mineral content and porosity data.

[0046] Well logging, also known as geophysical logging, is a method of measuring geophysical parameters by using the geophysical properties of rock formations, such as electrochemical properties, electrical conductivity, acoustic properties, and radioactivity. Well logging interpretation is to analyze and interpret the data obtained from these measurements to understand the underground geological conditions, such as lithology, reservoir characteristics, and fluid properties. It should be noted that the image source for image recognition can be a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or other equipment with shooting function.

[0047] In some embodiments, S110, obtaining structural parameters of shale samples by using well logging interpretation and image recognition respectively includes:

[0048] The TOC content of shale sample cores was obtained using the core experimental test method and the ΔLogR method.

[0049] In this example, the total organic carbon (TOC) content of the shale sample is obtained by well logging interpretation. Figure 2, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the effect of the ΔLogR method provided in this embodiment on predicting TOC content; a portion of the TOC content can be measured using the core test method, that is, obtained through organic geochemical analysis. The TOC content data obtained from the core test is highly accurate, but its representative range is small, the coring and experimental process is time-consuming and costly, and it is difficult to accurately and effectively evaluate the TOC content in a large area. Therefore, in order to obtain sufficient data, the ΔLogR method can also be used. The ΔLogR method uses the difference between the measurement curve and the baseline curve to calculate the total organic carbon. TOC is calculated using the acoustic time difference (AC) and deep lateral resistivity (LLD) curves. It should be noted that the shale samples can be multiple samples randomly sampled from the shale to be tested.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the total organic carbon (TOC) content of the shale sample is obtained by image recognition. Based on computer vision (CV), the identification of TOC content from the scanning electron microscope (SEM) photos of shale can be to automatically identify the organic matter area through image segmentation and classification algorithms. First, the SEM image is preprocessed, such as noise reduction and contrast enhancement, and then the convolutional neural network (CNN) model is used to extract features and classify the image to distinguish organic matter from minerals. By calculating the pixel ratio of the organic matter area and combining the TOC content model of the known sample, the TOC percentage in the image is inferred.

[0051] In some embodiments, S110, obtaining structural parameters of shale samples by using well logging interpretation and image recognition respectively includes:

[0052] The mineral content of shale samples was obtained by X-ray diffraction (XRD) testing and BP neural network calculation.

[0053] In this embodiment, the mineral content of the shale sample is obtained by logging interpretation. Part of the mineral content can be obtained by X-ray diffraction (XRD) testing. The structure of the mineral crystal will cause the X-rays to diffract at a specific angle. The diffraction angle and intensity are recorded by the detector to obtain a diffraction spectrum. Each mineral has a unique diffraction peak position and intensity characteristics, and this information can be used to identify the type of mineral in the sample. This method can accurately identify the mineral composition in complex samples and provide reliable data support for geological research. Similarly, this method represents a small range, the experimental process is time-consuming and costly, and it is difficult to accurately and effectively evaluate the mineral content in a large area.

[0054] In an example, see Figure 3 , Figure 3A schematic diagram of using artificial neural network to predict mineral content provided in this embodiment; in order to obtain sufficient data, the mineral content can also be calculated by BP neural network. The GR, LOGLLD, AC, NPHI, RHOB curve data in the basic logging data and the mineral content data measured by XRD method are used as training data. After the model is trained, the GR, LOGLLD, AC, NPHI, RHOB curve data of the well without measured mineral content data are used as input, and the clay mineral content, felsic mineral content, and carbonate mineral content are used as output, thereby obtaining the final result.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, image recognition is used to obtain the mineral content of shale samples. Mineral types can be divided into carbonate minerals, quartz minerals, and clay minerals. Based on the fractal method, the identification of mineral content from the scanning electron microscope (SEM) photos of shale utilizes the fractal characteristics of mineral particles at different scales. First, the edges and morphologies of mineral particles are extracted through image processing, and their fractal dimensions at different scales are calculated. Since the fractal dimensions of different minerals have characteristic differences, the morphological complexity and distribution law of mineral particles can be analyzed by fractal dimensions. Then, based on the fractal characteristics and combined with the known mineral model, the content of the three minerals in the image can be estimated.

[0056] In some embodiments, S110, obtaining structural parameters of shale samples by using well logging interpretation and image recognition respectively includes:

[0057] The porosity data of shale samples are obtained by using the gravity method, and the porosity data of shale samples are obtained by combining density logging and neutron logging data.

[0058] In this embodiment, the porosity data of the shale sample is obtained by logging interpretation. The porosity data can be measured by gravity method. The core sample is dried to constant weight and the dry mass is weighed. Then, the sample is immersed in a liquid so that its pores are filled with liquid, and the wet mass after saturation is weighed. Next, the volume of the sample is measured by the drainage method, that is, the sample is completely immersed in the liquid and the volume of the discharged liquid is recorded. The pore volume is calculated by the dry mass, wet mass and volume, and the porosity is finally obtained. Similarly, this method represents a small range, the experimental process is time-consuming and costly, and it is difficult to accurately and effectively evaluate the porosity of a large area. Therefore, in order to obtain sufficient data, density logging and neutron logging data can also be combined to form a cross plot. The cross plot of density and neutron logging can help distinguish the effects of gas, water and oil, and the measured total porosity value is more accurate.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, image recognition is used to obtain porosity data of shale samples. Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of using a scanning electron microscope to identify pores is provided for this embodiment; specifically, based on computer vision (CV), the identification of total porosity from a scanning electron microscope (SEM) photograph of shale utilizes image segmentation and analysis to identify and quantify the pore area. First, the SEM image is preprocessed, such as denoising and contrast enhancement, to more clearly display the pores. Next, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to classify the pores and solid parts in the image. Finally, the total porosity in the image is quantified by calculating the proportion of the pore area to the total image.

[0060] S120, determining a first linear relationship based on a first type of structural parameter obtained by logging interpretation, and determining a second linear relationship based on a second type of structural parameter obtained by image recognition; the first linear relationship and the second linear relationship respectively characterize the mapping relationship between porosity data and TOC content and mineral content at the macro level and micro level.

[0061] In this embodiment, the TOC, mineral content and porosity data obtained by well logging interpretation and image recognition are classified, and the data from different sources are divided into two categories: the data obtained from well logging interpretation is at the macro level, and the data obtained from image recognition is at the micro level.

[0062] The formula for porosity in relation to TOC and mineral content is:

[0063] ;

[0064] in, is the porosity, Clay mineral content, The content of felsic minerals, is the carbonate mineral content, a, b, c, d are constants.

[0065] Understandably, there are differences in the numerical values ​​of constants at the macro and micro levels.

[0066] In some embodiments, S120, determining a first linear relationship based on a first type of structural parameter obtained by logging interpretation, and determining a second linear relationship based on a second type of structural parameter obtained by image recognition, includes:

[0067] The first type of structural parameters obtained by logging interpretation are divided using at least one set of TOC content thresholds and at least one set of mineral content thresholds to obtain multiple shale lithofacies categories;

[0068] Based on the first type of structural data corresponding to each shale lithofacies category, a first linear relationship under each shale lithofacies category is determined.

[0069] In an alternative embodiment, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is a schematic diagram of shale lithofacies division provided in this embodiment; for the first type of structural parameters obtained from well logging interpretation, according to the level of organic carbon content, shale can be divided into three categories: high TOC shale, medium TOC shale, and low TOC shale; according to the data of the contents of three minerals, shale can be divided into four categories: felsic shale, clay shale, calcareous shale, and mixed sedimentary shale. In summary, this method can divide shale into a total of 12 types: low TOC felsic shale, medium TOC felsic shale, high TOC felsic shale, low TOC clay shale, medium TOC clay shale, high TOC clay shale, low TOC calcareous shale, medium TOC calcareous shale, high TOC calcareous shale, low TOC mixed sedimentary shale, medium TOC mixed sedimentary shale, and high TOC mixed sedimentary shale.

[0070] Specifically, the classification basis with TOC content as the judgment standard is: if TOC > 3, it is high TOC shale; if 2 < TOC < 3, it is medium TOC shale; if TOC < 2, it is low TOC shale. Specifically, the classification basis with mineral content as the judgment standard is: if the felsic mineral content exceeds 50%, it is felsic shale; if the carbonate mineral content exceeds 50%, it is calcareous shale; if the clay mineral content exceeds 50%, it is clay shale; if the contents of all three minerals are less than 50%, it is mixed sedimentary shale. Low TOC felsic shale refers to shale with a TOC content less than 2 and a felsic mineral content exceeding 50%; medium TOC felsic shale refers to shale with a TOC content between 2 and 3 and a felsic mineral content exceeding 50%; high TOC felsic shale refers to shale with a TOC content greater than 3 and a felsic mineral content exceeding 50%.

[0071] Low TOC clay shale refers to shale with a TOC content less than 2 and a clay mineral content exceeding 50%; medium TOC clay shale refers to shale with a TOC content between 2 and 3 and a clay mineral content exceeding 50%; high TOC clay shale refers to shale with a TOC content greater than 3 and a clay mineral content exceeding 50%.

[0072] Low TOC calcareous shale refers to shale with a TOC content less than 2 and a carbonate mineral content exceeding 50%; medium TOC calcareous shale refers to shale with a TOC content between 2 and 3 and a carbonate mineral content exceeding 50%; high TOC calcareous shale refers to shale with a TOC content greater than 3 and a carbonate mineral content exceeding 50%.

[0073] Low-TOC mixed shale refers to shale with a TOC content of less than 2, and the contents of felsic, clay, and carbonate minerals are all less than 50%; medium-TOC mixed shale refers to shale with a TOC content between 2 and 3, and the contents of these three minerals are all less than 50%; high-TOC mixed shale refers to shale with a TOC content greater than 3, and the contents of these three minerals are all less than 50%.

[0074] In some embodiments, S120, determining a first linear relationship based on a first type of structural parameter obtained by logging interpretation, and determining a second linear relationship based on a second type of structural parameter obtained by image recognition, includes:

[0075] The second type of structural parameters obtained by image recognition are divided using at least one set of TOC content thresholds and at least one set of mineral content thresholds to obtain a plurality of shale lithofacies categories;

[0076] Based on the second type of structural data corresponding to each shale lithofacies category, a second linear relationship under each shale lithofacies category is determined.

[0077] Similar to the previous embodiment, here, for the second type of structural parameters obtained by image recognition, shale can be divided into three categories according to the organic carbon content: high TOC shale, medium TOC shale and low TOC shale; according to the three mineral content data, shale can be divided into four categories: felsic shale, clay shale, calcareous shale, and mixed shale. In total, shale can be divided into 12 types.

[0078] S130, combining the first linear relationship and the second linear relationship using Bayesian theorem to obtain a target linear relationship corresponding to the porosity data.

[0079] Bayes' theorem describes the probability of an event occurring under certain known conditions (i.e., conditional probability). Here, the first linear relationship and the second linear relationship are combined through Bayes' theorem to ensure the applicability of the target linear relationship.

[0080] In some embodiments, S130, combining the first linear relationship and the second linear relationship using the Bayesian theorem to obtain a target linear relationship corresponding to the porosity data includes:

[0081] Determine the prior probability distribution at the macro and micro levels based on the structural parameters;

[0082] The macro likelihood function and the micro likelihood function are constructed respectively by using the first linear relationship and the second linear relationship, and the macro likelihood function and the micro likelihood function are combined to obtain a joint likelihood function;

[0083] The Bayesian theorem is used to combine the prior probability distribution and the joint likelihood function to obtain the target linear relationship corresponding to the porosity data.

[0084] In this example, the consistency and integrity of the macro data obtained from logging interpretation and the micro data obtained from SEM image recognition must be ensured. The macro data contains information such as total organic carbon (TOC) content, mineral content, and porosity, while the micro data also covers the corresponding TOC, mineral content, and porosity. In order to effectively integrate these data, it is necessary to ensure that the units, formats, and measurement conditions of all data are the same to ensure reliability in subsequent analysis.

[0085] Next, based on existing geological knowledge and historical research data, set prior probability distributions for macro and micro data. This prior distribution reflects your expectations and uncertainties about the characteristics of the data. For example, a normal distribution can be used to represent the range of variation of TOC and mineral content, and the prior probability can be used to reflect the distribution characteristics of TOC and mineral components that may appear under different geological conditions. This step lays the foundation for subsequent Bayesian inference, allowing the model to learn effectively based on existing knowledge. Further, construct a likelihood function, which can be regarded as a quantification of the relationship between macro and micro data. For macro data, we first establish a function that describes the relationship between porosity and these factors based on TOC and mineral content. This function will reflect how TOC and mineral content affect the change in porosity, taking into account the degree of influence of different minerals on porosity. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the possible errors and uncertainties in the data, which will be represented by the error term. Similarly, for micro data, a similar function needs to be constructed to describe the influence of TOC and mineral content on porosity at the micro scale. These two functions will come from macro and micro data respectively, but their purpose is to reveal the same geological phenomenon through data of different scales. After completing the construction of the likelihood function, the likelihood functions of the macro and micro data are combined to form a comprehensive joint likelihood function. Through this joint function, the two sets of data can be effectively integrated to reflect their joint role in porosity calculation, thus providing a basis for subsequent Bayesian inference. The Bayesian theorem is applied to combine the prior probability with the joint likelihood function to calculate the posterior probability distribution. This posterior distribution will combine the existing macro and micro data to obtain a more accurate estimate of the relationship between TOC, mineral content and porosity. Through this process, a comprehensive model containing macro and micro information can be obtained, which helps to reveal how TOC and mineral content affect porosity under different geological conditions.

[0086] The embodiment of the present invention obtains the structural parameters of the shale sample by using logging interpretation and image recognition respectively, determines the first linear relationship based on the first type of structural parameters obtained by logging interpretation, and determines the second linear relationship based on the second type of structural parameters obtained by image recognition, and combines the first linear relationship and the second linear relationship using Bayesian theorem to obtain the target linear relationship corresponding to the porosity data. By obtaining logging data and scanning electron microscope images, the pore characteristics of shale are comprehensively analyzed from both macroscopic and microscopic levels, and the information of different data sources is effectively combined, which reduces the errors that may be caused by a single data source and improves the accuracy and comprehensiveness of porosity calculation.
