Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas development technology, specifically to methods, devices, equipment, and media for characterizing the physical and mechanical parameters of reservoirs at all depths. Background Technology
[0002] Reservoir physical and mechanical parameters are crucial for fracturing design, wellbore stability evaluation, and optimization of oil and gas reservoir development strategies. These parameters include porosity, density, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and fracturing pressure. Current technologies primarily rely on well logging interpretation methods, core and cuttings experiments, and numerical simulation to obtain these parameters.
[0003] Well logging interpretation methods are often used to estimate reservoir physical parameters and have the advantage of describing wellbore continuity. However, these methods are mostly based on empirical formulas or statistical regression, which makes it difficult to reveal the heterogeneous characteristics of complex reservoirs and have limited ability to extend reservoirs between wells.
[0004] Core and cuttings testing methods can directly obtain pore structure and mechanical properties through microscopic testing or 3D CT scanning, yielding highly accurate results. However, limited by sampling intervals and experimental conditions, the data are only locally representative and cannot cover the entire well depth range.
[0005] Numerical simulation methods can utilize geomechanical models and employ techniques such as finite element method and finite difference method to simulate and invert reservoir response. However, these methods are highly dependent on the initial input data, and simulation results are prone to deviation when the input is incomplete or lacks precision.
[0006] In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) methods have begun to be applied to reservoir parameter prediction and modeling, which can fit complex nonlinear relationships and improve data utilization efficiency. However, existing studies mostly use discriminative or regression models, which lack the ability to complete parameters under conditions of missing data. At the same time, due to insufficient physical constraints, the prediction results may deviate from the actual reservoir patterns.
[0007] In summary, existing methods have the following prominent problems:
[0008] 1. Insufficient data fusion: Well logging, core, and simulation data are difficult to couple effectively, resulting in large scale differences;
[0009] 2. Limited coverage: Experimental data is limited to local well sections and cannot achieve continuous characterization across the entire depth;
[0010] 3. Lack of physical consistency: AI predictions fail to fully incorporate mechanical mechanisms, posing a risk of bias.
[0011] 4. Lack of closed-loop optimization: The lack of an iterative mechanism of "data-AI-simulation-inversion" makes it difficult to dynamically improve the accuracy of results. Summary of the Invention

Specifically, at the single-well scale, a multi-scale, multi-dimensional data system is established by combining core three-dimensional voxel structure data, cuttings microphysical property data, and logging curve parameters. Fusion and completion of multi-source data are achieved through artificial intelligence models, greatly improving parameter integrity and effectively solving the problem of discontinuous and incomplete parameters caused by traditional methods relying on single logging data. Driven by generative artificial intelligence structures such as diffusion models, variational autoencoders, or generative adversarial networks, the standardized input feature vectors corresponding to multi-source data are mapped to the latent space. Combined with latent distribution constraints and optimized loss functions, the predictive ability is enhanced, realizing generative prediction of reservoir physical and mechanical parameters, overcoming the limitations of existing methods that can only perform simple regression fitting and are difficult to capture complex nonlinear relationships. Utilizing density, sonic transit time, and resistivity... Using logging parameters such as natural gamma as constraints, and combining them with predicted key mechanical parameters such as porosity, a dynamic fusion of predicted parameter results and actual logging data is achieved through parameter correction formulas and confidence weighting mechanisms. This ensures the physical consistency, rationality, and reliability of parameters across the entire depth range. In the simulation and inversion optimization stages, the fused and completed reservoir physical and mechanical parameter results are introduced into the constitutive relation, and then the parameters are dynamically corrected through iterative update formulas, forming a closed-loop process of "prediction-simulation-inversion." Compared with existing technologies, this significantly improves the accuracy and adaptability of reservoir physical and mechanical parameter characterization. This scheme has outstanding engineering application value, enabling high-precision characterization of reservoir physical and mechanical parameters across the entire well depth range under complex geological conditions. It can directly serve engineering stages such as drilling design, well completion engineering, and fracturing operations, providing more reliable inputs of key mechanical parameters such as porosity, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio for oil and gas development. This effectively reduces the risk of wellbore instability and fracture propagation, demonstrating good applicability and promising prospects for widespread application.

[0069] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a method for characterizing the physical and mechanical parameters of a full-depth reservoir according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0070] Step S101: Obtain multi-source data within the reservoir wellbore area.
[0071] This application proposes a method for characterizing full-depth reservoir physical and mechanical parameters by combining generative artificial intelligence, well logging data, and numerical simulation. By fusing multi-source data such as core 3D voxel structure data, rock cuttings microphysical property data, and well logging curve parameters, and utilizing the data completion capabilities of generative artificial intelligence and simulation-driven inversion optimization, the method efficiently achieves the fusion and completion of multi-source data. Under physical constraints, it obtains continuous, reliable, and high-precision full-depth reservoir physical and mechanical parameter characterization results, realizing a closed loop of multi-source data fusion, AI-driven, and simulation inversion. This significantly improves the completeness and reliability of reservoir physical and mechanical parameter characterization, and is applicable to different types of reservoir engineering, providing reliable data support for engineering decisions such as fracturing design, wellbore stability evaluation, and oil and gas reservoir development.
[0072] To achieve high-precision characterization of reservoir physical and mechanical parameters across the entire depth, multi-source, multi-scale data acquisition was performed on the target wellbore within its reservoir wellbore range, resulting in multi-source data within the reservoir wellbore range. This multi-source data included core three-dimensional voxel structure data, cuttings microphysical property data, and logging curve parameters.
[0073] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of multi-source data acquisition is shown, such as... Figure 2 As shown, core CT scanning, such as CT slicing of three-dimensional core samples, is used to obtain three-dimensional voxel structure data of the core; rock cuttings microscopic experiments, such as observing two-dimensional images under a microscope, are used to obtain rock cuttings microphysical property data; and logging curve parameters, including density curve parameters, sonic curve parameters, resistivity curve parameters, etc., are obtained through conventional logging methods.
[0074] Specifically, high-resolution X-ray three-dimensional CT scanning was performed on the core samples retrieved from the wellbore to obtain three-dimensional voxel structure data of the core. The three-dimensional voxel structure data of the core can be represented as follows: To enhance the robustness of the data, this embodiment also introduces a weighted correction to the three-dimensional porosity in the three-dimensional voxel structure data of the core using the voxel segmentation confidence score output by a generative artificial intelligence model. The formula is as follows:
[0075]
[0076] in, This represents the weighted three-dimensional porosity in the three-dimensional voxel structure data of the core; N represents the total number of voxels. This represents the confidence level of the artificial intelligence model in determining that the i-th voxel belongs to the pore, and is simply referred to as the voxel segmentation confidence level. Its value ranges from 0 to 1. This represents the volume of the i-th voxel, i.e., the volume of the single voxel; Indicates the total volume of the CT scan;
[0077] Two-dimensional microscopic imaging and physical property testing were performed on rock cuttings samples recovered during the drilling process to calculate two-dimensional porosity. Furthermore, microscopic mechanical parameters can be obtained, such as the microscopic elastic modulus of rock fragments, which can be obtained through nanoindentation experiments. And hardness H. Therefore, the microscopic physical property data of rock cuttings obtained in the embodiments of this application may include two-dimensional porosity. Microelastic modulus of rock fragments The hardness H of the rock fragments.
[0078] The physical property curve parameters, i.e., logging curve parameters, are obtained at the full depth using conventional logging methods. These logging curve parameters may include density. Sound wave time difference resistivity and natural gamma etc., its expression is:
[0079]
[0080] in, This represents the set of logging curve parameters at a well depth of z. This represents the density at a well depth of z; This represents the acoustic transit time at a well depth of z; This represents the resistivity at a well depth of z; This represents the natural gamma at a well depth of z; z represents the well depth position.
[0081] Optionally, to achieve joint utilization of two-dimensional and three-dimensional data, multi-source data fusion correction can be further performed in this embodiment. The weighted three-dimensional porosity and two-dimensional porosity are fused and corrected using a depth-related weighting factor, and the fusion correction formula is as follows:
[0082]
[0083] in, This indicates the porosity after fusion correction; The depth-related weighting factor, determined based on well logging curve parameters, can be derived from density. Sound wave time difference Wait until it is determined; This represents the weighted three-dimensional porosity in the three-dimensional voxel structure data of the core. This represents the two-dimensional porosity in rock cuttings microphysical property data.
[0084] Through the multi-source acquisition and fusion correction of the above-mentioned core CT scan, cuttings microscopy experiments and conventional logging, a complete input dataset can be formed, which provides a foundation for subsequent data processing and modeling.
[0085] Step S102 involves preprocessing and feature extraction of the multi-source data to obtain a standardized input feature vector for modeling.
[0086] Preprocessing includes normalization, denoising, and missing data completion. By unifying and structuring multi-source data, the dimensional differences and noise interference between data from different sources and at different scales can be effectively eliminated, ensuring that the data can be used as standardized input for artificial intelligence models.
[0087] Specifically, a linear interval mapping method is used to normalize multi-source data, transforming different physical quantities in the multi-source data into a unified interval. Its expression is:
[0088]
[0089] in, This represents the normalized value of a physical parameter. The original data representing this physical parameter; This indicates the maximum value of the physical parameter; This represents the minimum value of the physical parameter. Normalization effectively avoids bias caused by data of different dimensions and magnitudes when inputting into artificial intelligence models.
[0090] Furthermore, denoising processing is required for multi-source data to filter out noise. For example, this is necessary for core three-dimensional voxel structure data. Isolated noise can be eliminated by three-dimensional median filtering, and its formal expression can be:
[0091]
[0092] in, This represents the filtered three-dimensional voxel structure data of the core; median indicates median filtering. Indicates coordinates as Three-dimensional voxel structure data of the core; Indicated by The set of neighborhood voxels centered on the center.
[0093] In addition, missing data in the multi-source data needs to be completed. Considering that wellbore depth sampling often has missing segments, the missing data in the well logging parameters of the multi-source data can be completed based on the interpolation of the well logging parameters and the confidence weighting factor output by the artificial intelligence model. The completion formula used is as follows:
[0094]
[0095] in, This represents the parameters of the completed logging curve at a well depth of z; This represents the preprocessed logging curve parameters at a well depth of z. This represents the confidence weighting factor output by the artificial intelligence model based on the data's credibility. This represents the correction amount corresponding to well depth z, obtained by interpolation based on adjacent well sections. By employing a completion method that combines interpolation based on well logging curve parameters with correction based on artificial intelligence model weights, the completed data can be made closer to the real data, effectively improving the usability and accuracy of the data.
[0096] After normalization, denoising, and completion processing of the multi-source data, preprocessed multi-source data is formed. Key feature parameters can then be extracted from this preprocessed multi-source data to form a standardized input feature vector. Feature extraction is achieved jointly using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and a deep learning-based autoencoder. Specifically, PCA and the deep learning-based autoencoder are combined to perform dimensionality reduction and deep feature extraction on the preprocessed multi-source data, resulting in a standardized input feature vector, expressed as:
[0097]
[0098] in, This represents a standardized input feature vector used by artificial intelligence models. Indicates the feature extraction operator; This represents preprocessed multi-source data, including weighted three-dimensional porosity. Two-dimensional porosity Microelastic modulus of rock fragments The hardness H of the rock cuttings and the parameters of the completed logging curves. .
[0099] Through the above preprocessing and feature extraction processes, data from different sources and at different scales can be transformed into standardized, noise-free, missing-complete, and representative input vectors, providing a data foundation for the subsequent construction of artificial intelligence models.
[0100] Step S103: Based on the standardized input feature vector, the reservoir physical and mechanical parameters are initially modeled to obtain a generative artificial intelligence model.
[0101] Generative artificial intelligence models can be at least one of diffusion models, variational autoencoders, or generative adversarial networks. First, the input feature vectors are standardized. Mapped to latent space vectors ,in, Let represent the m-th eigenvector. Its mapping transformation relationship can be expressed as:
[0102]
[0103] in, Represents a potential space vector, used to represent an abstract representation of reservoir physical and mechanical parameters; Indicates the encoding function; Represents the standardized input feature vector; This represents the set of parameters for the encoder.
[0104] Then, the latent space vector is decoded using the decoding function. Predicted parameters converted into reservoir physical and mechanical parameters:
[0105]
[0106] in, This represents the predicted parameters at a well depth of z obtained by the artificial intelligence model, including porosity, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and fracture pressure. Indicates the decoding function; Represents the latent space vector; This represents the set of parameters for the decoder.
[0107] Furthermore, to improve the consistency between the predicted parameters and the actual data, latent distribution constraints are introduced during the training process of generative artificial intelligence models. Taking a variational autoencoder as an example, its latent distribution satisfies:
[0108]
[0109] in, This represents the approximate posterior distribution obtained by the inference network; This represents the target latent distribution, which is a real but not directly obtainable latent distribution.
[0110] Furthermore, during model training, a loss function is defined as the optimization objective:
[0111]
[0112] in, Represents the loss function; Represents the actual parameters obtained from real well logging or experiments; This represents the prediction parameter results obtained from the artificial intelligence model. This represents the mean square error term; Represents the regularization constraint term; This represents the balance factor, used to adjust the weights between the mean squared error term and the regularization constraint term.
[0113] Through the above process, a model with a generative artificial intelligence model as its core was constructed, realizing the mapping from multi-source standardized input feature vectors to preliminary predictions of full-depth reservoir physical and mechanical parameters, providing an input basis for subsequent parameter constraints and fusion completion.
[0114] Step S104: Use the preprocessed logging curve parameters to constrain and correct the predicted parameter results of the artificial intelligence model, and form constrained and corrected reservoir physical and mechanical parameter results.
[0115] The preprocessed logging curve parameters are depth-continuous parameters, which may include one or more of the following: density, sonic transit time, resistivity, and natural gamma curve parameters. These preprocessed logging curve parameters are used as constraints to constrain and correct the predicted parameters of the artificial intelligence model, ensuring the vertical continuity and physical rationality of the reservoir's physical and mechanical parameters.
[0116] Specifically, the preprocessed logging curve parameters are extracted into a constraint set:
[0117]
[0118] in, This represents the constraint set corresponding to the logging curve parameters at a well depth of z, including density. Sound wave time difference resistivity Natural Gamma etc.; z represents the well depth position.
[0119] Next, the preliminary predicted parameters output by the artificial intelligence model are compared with the constraint set to construct a parameter correction formula:
[0120]
[0121] in, This represents the corrected reservoir physical and mechanical parameters at a well depth of z. This represents the predicted parameters at well depth z obtained by the artificial intelligence model; These represent constraint parameters used to control the correction strength. This represents the set of constraints corresponding to the logging curve parameters at a well depth of z. This represents the comparable logging parameters obtained by mapping the predicted parameter results.
[0122] Furthermore, to avoid the excessive influence of abnormal logging points on the confinement effect, a weighted formula based on confidence factors is introduced. The predicted parameter results are fused with the corrected reservoir physical and mechanical parameter results using the confidence factors to obtain the final confinement-corrected reservoir physical and mechanical parameter results.
[0123]
[0124] in, This represents the constrained corrected reservoir physical and mechanical parameters at a well depth of z. The confidence factor at well depth z can be determined based on the weighting mechanism of well logging curve quality evaluation or artificial intelligence model, and its value range is [value range missing]. .
[0125] Through the above-mentioned constraint and weighting process, dynamic correction between the predicted parameters of the generative artificial intelligence model and the actual logging data is achieved, so that the final parameter results maintain the trend of AI prediction at the whole well depth scale, and also have the physical constraints of logging curves.
[0126] Step S105: The preprocessed multi-source data is jointly input into the artificial intelligence model, driving the artificial intelligence model to fuse and complete the results of the reservoir physical and mechanical parameters after constraint correction, forming a parameter field of the entire depth within the reservoir wellbore.
[0127] Based on the constrained and corrected reservoir physical and mechanical parameters, the preprocessed core three-dimensional voxel structure data (such as weighted three-dimensional porosity, pore structure, fracture morphology, etc.), rock cutting microphysical property data (such as two-dimensional porosity obtained by microscopic imaging, microscopic elastic modulus of rock cuttings, etc.) and logging curve parameters are fused and completed to drive the artificial intelligence model to form a parameter field of the entire depth within the reservoir wellbore, that is, a continuous parameter distribution of the entire depth.
[0128] Specifically, the preprocessed multi-source data and the constrained corrected reservoir physical and mechanical parameters are uniformly mapped to the depth coordinate system to construct a multi-source parameter set:
[0129]
[0130] in, Represents a set of multi-source parameters; This represents the weighted three-dimensional porosity at a well depth of z; This represents the two-dimensional porosity at a well depth of z; H represents the microscopic elastic modulus of the rock cuttings; H represents the hardness of the rock cuttings. This indicates the parameters of the completed well logging curve; This represents the constrained corrected reservoir physical and mechanical parameters at a well depth of z.
[0131] Next, the multi-source parameter set is weighted and fused using a fusion function to obtain the fused and completed reservoir physical and mechanical parameter results. A parameter field is formed based on the fused and completed reservoir physical and mechanical parameter results. In other words, this parameter field is the fused and completed parameter field, which records the fused and completed reservoir physical and mechanical parameter results.
[0132] The fusion function is:
[0133]
[0134]
[0135] in, This represents the reservoir physical and mechanical parameters after fusion and completion at a well depth of z; n represents the total number of data components in the multi-source parameter set; Represents a multi-source parameter set The normalized weights corresponding to the i-th data component at a well depth of z satisfy the following conditions: ; Represents a multi-source parameter set The i-th data component at a well depth of z; This represents the basic weighting factor of the i-th data component at a well depth of z; This represents the weight correction factor of the AI model for the i-th data component at a well depth of z during the fusion process, which is used to dynamically adjust the weight based on the consistency or difference between the data. This represents the basic weighting factor of the j-th data component at a well depth of z; This represents the weight correction factor of the AI model for the j-th data component at well depth z during the fusion process.
[0136] The aforementioned fusion function achieves a weighted combination of different data sources. Furthermore, a weight correction factor from an artificial intelligence model is introduced into the weights, followed by normalization processing. This enables the fusion, completion, and optimization of the reservoir physical and mechanical parameters after constraint correction. The resulting parameter field can be used as input for simulation solutions, realizing the transition from data-driven to physical modeling.
[0137] Step S106: Construct a numerical simulation model based on the parameter field, and use the numerical simulation model to simulate the reservoir mechanical response process to obtain simulation results.
[0138] A numerical simulation model is constructed based on the reservoir physical and mechanical parameters obtained by fusion and completion in the parameter field, and the stress, strain and stability distributions are solved across the entire depth range. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the fusion completion and simulation framework is shown.
[0139] Using the merged and completed reservoir physical and mechanical parameters from the parameter field as input, including porosity, density, microelastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and fracture development coefficient, a three-dimensional numerical simulation model is established. This numerical simulation model needs to satisfy the static equilibrium equations of continuum mechanics.
[0140]
[0141] in, Represents the stress tensor; Represents the divergence of the stress tensor; This represents the volume force vector, which includes gravity and pore pressure gradient.
[0142] Furthermore, the parameter field obtained after fusion and completion in step S105 is introduced into the constitutive relation, and its formula is:

[0145] Apply wellbore boundary conditions to reflect actual stress conditions:
[0146]
[0147] in, represents the wellbore radius; z represents the well depth position; This represents the fluid pressure inside the wellbore at a depth of z, typically in the range of 40 to 60 MPa. This represents the radial stress at the well wall at a depth of z. This represents the circumferential stress at the wellbore wall at a depth of z. This represents the pore pressure value obtained from well logging or well testing, with a typical gradient of 1.55 to 1.65 MPa / 100m. This boundary condition can reflect the actual stress state relatively well.
[0148] Wellbore pressure and pore pressure constraints are applied to the boundary conditions, and the above equations are solved by simulation using finite element or finite difference numerical methods. The simulation results include the stress field, displacement field and fracture pressure distribution in the entire depth range of the reservoir, which provides a physical constraint basis for subsequent inversion optimization.
[0149] Step S107: The simulation results are used to invert and iteratively correct the parameter field to obtain the physical and mechanical parameter characterization results of the target full-depth reservoir.
[0150] Based on the differences between simulation results and actual logging and well testing data, an inversion optimization framework is constructed to iteratively correct the parameter field in order to improve prediction accuracy and physical consistency.
[0151] Define the objective function in the inversion optimization framework to measure the difference between simulation results and measured data. The formula is:
[0152]
[0153] in, Represent the objective function; This represents the set of parameters to be optimized; z represents the well depth. Indicates in the parameter set The reservoir physical and mechanical parameters obtained from the simulation; This represents the parameter corresponding to the measured data at well depth z.
[0154] To avoid overfitting or inconsistencies, physical constraints and AI-driven correction operators are introduced to iteratively update the parameters. Specifically, based on the inversion optimization framework and iterative update formula, the parameter field is iteratively updated until a preset convergence condition is met, yielding the physical and mechanical parameter characterization results of the target full-depth reservoir; the iterative update formula is as follows:
[0155]
[0156] in, This represents the parameter set at the (k+1)th iteration; This represents the set of parameters at the k-th iteration. Indicates the learning rate or iteration step size; This represents the gradient of the objective function in the inversion optimization framework with respect to the parameters of the parameter set at the k-th iteration; Indicates the correction factor; This refers to an AI-driven correction operator used to utilize the fused and completed reservoir physical and mechanical parameters. The inversion results are dynamically adjusted to reflect data consistency, physical priors, and constraint information. This represents the reservoir physical and mechanical parameters after fusion and completion at a well depth of z.
[0157] To ensure the stability of the solution, a convergence condition is also set: when the objective function... Less than a preset threshold (e.g., the preset threshold could be 10) -3 The inversion process is considered convergent when the number of iterations reaches the maximum limit (e.g., 1000). Based on actual computational stability criteria, dynamic threshold adjustment or early stopping strategies can also be used to avoid overfitting and ineffective iterations.
[0158] Figure 4 A schematic diagram illustrating the principles of inversion and iterative correction is shown, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, error calculation (i.e., difference calculation) is performed on the simulation results and measured data. Then, the parameters are iteratively updated, and convergence is determined according to preset convergence conditions. When the inversion process is determined to be converged, the final optimized parameters are obtained, which are the physical and mechanical parameter characterization results of the target reservoir at the full depth. Through the inversion optimization process of error calculation—parameter update—convergence determination, the corrected distribution of reservoir physical and mechanical parameters across the entire well depth is obtained, making the simulation results consistent with the measured data and satisfying the predetermined physical constraints.
[0159] The effectiveness of the full-depth reservoir physical and mechanical parameter characterization method proposed in this application will be verified through two specific examples below:
[0160] Example 1:
[0161] Well L1 in Block M was selected as the research object. This well has a depth of 4850m, a four-section wellbore structure, and a reservoir type of sandstone interbedded with carbonate rocks, with relatively well-developed fractures. To achieve high-precision characterization of the full-depth reservoir physical and mechanical parameters, the integrated full-depth reservoir physical and mechanical parameter characterization method driven by generative AI, logging, and simulation proposed in this application was applied. Multi-source data from this well were acquired, processed, modeled, constrained, fused, simulated, and optimized to verify the effectiveness of this application.
[0162] (1) During the data acquisition phase: In well L1, core samples were taken every 300m, and high-resolution X-ray CT scans were used to obtain three-dimensional voxel structure data of the cores. The resolution is 2.5 μm / voxel. To enhance the reliability of the three-dimensional porosity results, the voxel segmentation confidence score output by the generative artificial intelligence model was introduced to weight and correct the three-dimensional porosity in the core three-dimensional voxel structure data. After correction, the three-dimensional porosity of well L1 ranges from 6.8% to 13.2%.
[0163] Rock cuttings samples obtained during drilling were collected, and two-dimensional microscopic imaging and physical property testing were performed to obtain two-dimensional porosity. The microscopic elastic modulus of the rock fragments was obtained through nanoindentation experiments. (range 12.5–21.3 GPa) and hardness H (range 0.62–0.95 GPa).
[0164] Obtain logging parameters for well L1, including density. Sound wave time difference resistivity and natural gamma etc., represented as :
[0165] in, This represents the set of logging curve parameters at a well depth of z. This represents the density at a well depth of z; This represents the acoustic transit time at a well depth of z; This represents the resistivity at a well depth of z; The natural gamma at well depth z represents the depth of the well. Finally, the weighted three-dimensional porosity and two-dimensional porosity are fused and corrected using a depth-related weighting factor to achieve joint utilization of two-dimensional and three-dimensional data. Through the above multi-source, multi-scale data acquisition and fusion correction, the initial input parameter set for well L1 is formed.
[0166] (2) During the data processing stage:
[0167] The initial input parameter set is normalized, denoised, imputed, and feature extracted to obtain the standardized input feature vector of well L1. Specifically, missing data in the logging curve parameters are imputed, and the imputation formula uses a confidence weighting factor output by the artificial intelligence model based on data reliability. The value ranges from 0.75 to 0.92.
[0168] (3) In the model building phase:
[0169] A generative artificial intelligence model is used to model the standardized input feature vector of the L1 well. A variational autoencoder (VAE) structure is selected, and a balance factor is used in the loss function during model training. The value is 0.15.
[0170] (4) During the parameter constraint phase:
[0171] The predicted parameters of the artificial intelligence model were constrained and corrected using preprocessed well logging curve parameters, involving porosity (7%–14%), density (2.35–2.65 g / cm³), sonic transit time (190–260 μs / m), resistivity (8–35 Ω·m), and natural gamma (75–110 API). The constrained parameters in the parameter correction formula are... The value is 0.65. Further analysis is performed using the confidence factor. (Values range from 0.6 to 0.8) The predicted parameter results are fused with the corrected reservoir physical and mechanical parameter results.
[0172] (5) During the integration and completion phase:
[0173] Constructing a multi-source parameter set for well L1 By using a fusion function to perform weighted fusion of the multi-source parameter set, the reservoir physical and mechanical parameters after fusion and completion are obtained.
[0174] (6) During the simulation solution stage:
[0175] A numerical simulation model was constructed based on the fused and completed reservoir physical and mechanical parameters to solve for the stress, strain, and stability distributions across the entire depth range. The components of the stiffness matrix in the constitutive relation were determined by the fused and completed parameters, including the microelastic modulus (18–28 GPa), Poisson's ratio (0.21–0.29), and fracture correction factor.
[0176] Fluid pressure inside the wellbore in wellbore boundary conditions The pore pressure value is 42 MPa, obtained from well logging or well testing. The average gradient is 1.58 MPa / 100 m. The finite element method was used for simulation to obtain simulation results, which include the stress field, displacement field, and fracture pressure distribution throughout the entire depth of the reservoir.
[0177] (7) In the inversion optimization stage:
[0178] When discrepancies exist between simulation results and measured data, an inversion optimization framework is constructed. Based on this framework and the iterative update formula, the parameter field is iteratively updated until a preset convergence condition is met, yielding the characterization results of the physical and mechanical parameters of the target full-depth reservoir. Specifically, the iterative update formula... =0.05, The preset convergence condition is: when the objective function... The optimization is considered to have converged when the number of iterations reaches 1000.
[0179] (8) Analysis of implementation effect:
[0180] The porosity prediction curves for the entire depth were obtained based on fusion completion and simulation solutions, and compared with measured core data. The results show that the porosity prediction curves generally match the measured values well, and the vast majority of measured values fall within the 95% confidence interval. For easier visualization, Table 1 shows the comparison results of porosity prediction and measurement for well L1, recording the predicted values, measured values, and their upper and lower confidence intervals for some well depth ranges of well L1.
[0181] Table 1. Comparison of predicted and measured porosity of Well L1
[0182]
[0183] As shown in Table 1, the deviation between the predicted porosity and the measured porosity is controlled within ±7%, and the trend remains consistent, verifying the reliability of the fusion completion and simulation closed-loop method across the entire well depth range. Figure 5 This shows a comparison chart between the predicted porosity of well L1 and the measured core data. Figure 5 The figure shows the porosity prediction curve, measured core data points, and uncertainty band of the 95% confidence interval. This figure can intuitively reflect the degree of agreement between the porosity prediction results and the measured core data, as well as the range of uncertainty.
[0184] Based on the statistical results of the full-depth prediction curve, the final range of reservoir physical and mechanical parameters for well L1 is as follows: porosity ranges from 6.5% to 14.1%; microelastic modulus ranges from 17.8 to 28.6 GPa; Poisson's ratio ranges from 0.22 to 0.28; and the deviation between the predicted fracturing pressure and the measured fracturing data is controlled within ±7%.
[0185] Therefore, the full-depth reservoir physical and mechanical parameter characterization method proposed in this application can effectively improve the prediction accuracy of key mechanical parameters such as porosity, microelastic modulus and Poisson's ratio while ensuring the consistency of basic logging parameters such as density.

High-resolution X-ray CT scanning was used to obtain three-dimensional voxel structure data of the cores. The resolution was 3.0 μm / voxel. To enhance the reliability of the three-dimensional porosity results, the voxel segmentation confidence score output by a generative artificial intelligence model was introduced to weight and correct the three-dimensional porosity in the core three-dimensional voxel structure data. After correction, the three-dimensional porosity of well T2 ranged from 3.5% to 8.9%. Meanwhile, two-dimensional microscopic testing of the rock cuttings samples showed that the two-dimensional porosity...

The constraint parameters in the parameter correction formula are... The value is 0.60. Further analysis is performed using the confidence factor. (Values range from 0.65 to 0.80) The predicted parameter results are fused with the corrected reservoir physical and mechanical parameter results.
[0196] (5) During the integration and completion phase:

The normalized weights in the fusion function are used for this purpose. The values range from 0.1 to 0.25. The results show that the continuity of the parameter curve is significantly enhanced after fusion and completion.
[0198] (6) During the simulation solution stage:
