Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unconventional reservoir seismic exploration, and specifically to an intelligent prediction method for reservoir physical property parameters driven by both rock physics and deep learning. Background Art
[0002] Accurate prediction of reservoir physical properties (such as porosity, water saturation, and clay content) is crucial to oil and gas exploration. These parameters not only help predict and identify potential reservoirs, but also play an important role in reservoir production prediction, fluid identification, and oil recovery analysis in the petroleum industry.
[0003] However, for unconventional reservoirs such as tight sandstone, their complex pore structure poses a huge challenge to the accurate prediction of reservoir physical parameters. Unconventional reservoirs such as tight sandstone usually develop complex pore structures, which leads to a complex mapping relationship between reservoir physical properties and elastic characteristics. Conventional rock physics models have difficulty accurately describing the nonlinear relationship between physical properties and elastic parameters, hindering the accurate prediction of physical parameters through classical rock physics modeling and inversion methods. In addition, although deep learning methods have made significant progress in many fields, they can automatically extract complex features in data and have strong nonlinear fitting capabilities, providing new methods for predicting reservoir physical parameters. However, conventional deep learning methods lack the use of geological prior information when processing geological data, and the logging observation data of unconventional reservoirs is limited. It is difficult to provide sufficient physical property-elastic parameter label samples, resulting in limited physical interpretability and generalization ability of neural network models, which restricts the applicability of conventional deep learning methods to the prediction of unconventional reservoir physical parameters.
