Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of geological exploration technology, and more specifically to a method for predicting the development of continental shale clay minerals based on well logging artificial intelligence learning. Background Art

[0002] In the exploration and development of continental shales, the development of clay minerals is of great significance for reservoir evaluation and oil and gas production. Traditional clay mineral analysis methods are usually based on rock thin section observation and chemical analysis, which are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to make rapid and accurate predictions in large-scale exploration areas.

[0003] There are many methods to determine the type and content of clay minerals through logging data, the most common of which are the thorium-potassium crossplot method, the cation exchange capacity-hydrogen index crossplot method and the stepwise multiple regression method. The parameters of the thorium-potassium crossplot are easy to collect, but they can only qualitatively evaluate clay minerals. In view of this, predecessors proposed an improved thorium-potassium crossplot, which can more accurately determine the content and type of clay minerals, but cannot accurately distinguish kaolinite and illite with higher thorium content. The cation exchange capacity-hydrogen index crossplot method can distinguish montmorillonite and illite, but it is not easy to distinguish chlorite and kaolinite. The stepwise multiple regression method has a high interpretation accuracy, but the selection of the mathematical model is greatly interfered by human factors, and it is difficult to ensure that the optimal interpretation is obtained.

[0004] With the continuous development of logging technology and the application of artificial intelligence algorithms, a new approach has been provided for the prediction of clay mineral development in continental shales.

[0005] Therefore, it is an urgent problem for technical personnel in this field to propose a prediction method for the development of terrestrial shale clay minerals based on well logging artificial intelligence learning to solve the difficulties existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a prediction method for the development of continental shale clay minerals based on well logging artificial intelligence learning, which is used to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

The training set is input into the BP neural network model for training. During the training process, the BP neural network model is adjusted by the back propagation algorithm.

[0029] The above method may optionally include predicting the development of clay minerals in continental shale using an optimized prediction model of clay mineral development based on artificial intelligence, and the specific contents are as follows:

[0030] By comparing the predicted results with the actual observed values, the accuracy and reliability of the artificial intelligence-based clay mineral development prediction model are evaluated. If the prediction results are not ideal, we return to the optimization steps of the artificial intelligence-based clay mineral development prediction model for adjustment.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] See also Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses a method for predicting the development of continental shale clay minerals based on well logging artificial intelligence learning, comprising the following steps:

[0040] Obtain continental shale logging data and collect continental shale samples;

[0041] Carry out data preprocessing on the collected continental shale logging data;

[0042] Specifically, the collected logging data is cleaned, outliers and noise are removed, and data is standardized and normalized to improve data quality and availability.

[0043] Test continental shale samples to obtain the types and contents of clay minerals in shale development;

[0044] According to the pre-processed continental shale logging data and the types and contents of clay minerals in shale development, an artificial intelligence-based clay mineral development prediction model is constructed;

[0045] Optimize the artificial intelligence-based clay mineral development prediction model;

[0046] The development of clay minerals in continental shale is predicted through the optimized artificial intelligence-based prediction model of clay mineral development.

[0047] Furthermore, the continental shale logging data include: density, natural potential, natural gamma, sonic time difference, well diameter, deep lateral resistivity, shallow lateral resistivity, and porosity.

[0048] Furthermore, the specific contents of collecting continental shale samples are as follows:

[0049] In the shale exploration area, shale cores are selected for shale rock sampling by observing the distribution characteristics of shale.

[0050] Furthermore, the continental shale samples were tested to obtain the specific contents of the clay mineral types and contents in the shale development:

[0051] Through XRD shale mineral type test and XRD clay mineral content test, the type and content of clay minerals in shale development can be obtained.

[0052] XRD (X-ray diffraction) is a technique that uses the diffraction effect of X-rays in crystalline materials to analyze the structure of materials. When X-rays are projected into a crystal, they are scattered by the atoms in the crystal. These scattered waves are similar to spherical waves emitted from the center of the atoms. Since the atoms are arranged periodically in the crystal, there is a fixed phase relationship between these scattered spherical waves, resulting in the spherical waves in certain scattering directions reinforcing each other and canceling each other out in certain directions, resulting in diffraction.

[0053] By analyzing clay minerals with XRD technology, accurate mineral type identification results can be obtained. For example, kaolinite, montmorillonite, illite, etc. are common types of clay minerals, and their X-ray diffraction patterns have characteristic peak positions and peak shapes. By analyzing the experimental data, these different types of clay minerals can be clearly distinguished.

[0054] Furthermore, the specific contents of constructing the clay mineral development prediction model based on artificial intelligence are as follows:

[0055] The preprocessed continental shale logging data and the types and contents of clay minerals in shale development are divided into training set and test set. The training set is input into the BP neural network model for training. During the training process, the BP neural network model is adjusted by the back propagation algorithm.

[0056] Furthermore, the specific content of the back propagation algorithm is:

[0057] It includes 1 input layer, multiple hidden layers and 1 output layer. The formula for forward propagation is:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, z j is the net output value of the jth node, w ij is the weight value between the i-th node and the j-th node, x i is the input value of the i-th node, b j is the threshold of the jth node, N is the number of input layer nodes, x j is the output value of the jth node, f(z j ) is the sigmoid activation function;

[0060] The formula for back propagation is:

[0061]

[0062] Among them, E is the loss function, N is the number of nodes in the output layer, and yj is the label value of the jth node.

[0063] Specifically, the cross-validation method is adopted to avoid as much as possible the situation where the constructed model is not an optimal solution caused by randomly selecting data at one time, and to improve the generalization ability of the prediction model.

[0064] Furthermore, the specific contents of predicting the development of clay minerals in continental shale by using the optimized prediction model of clay mineral development based on artificial intelligence are as follows:

[0065] By comparing the predicted results with the actual observed values, the accuracy and reliability of the artificial intelligence-based clay mineral development prediction model are evaluated. If the prediction results are not ideal, we return to the optimization steps of the artificial intelligence-based clay mineral development prediction model for adjustment.
