Description

A sonic remote detection device and detection method suitable for horizontal boreholes Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of acoustic long-range detection, specifically to an acoustic long-range detection device and detection method suitable for horizontal boreholes. Background Technology

[0002] In-hole testing techniques help identify potential geological risks outside the borehole by probing geological information near the borehole wall. Currently, most tests are limited to the borehole wall or within 3 meters outside the borehole wall, such as lateral resistivity probing (2.5 meters) and tube wave probing (1-3 meters). To more accurately probe geological structures outside the borehole, acoustic long-range sounding technology has been developed. This technology images the formation around the well by analyzing the energy of sound waves emitted from a sound source in the well and the reflected energy. This technology has made progress in oil and gas reservoir prediction and fracture detection, for example, in applications in the Dagang Oilfield and the Tarim Basin.

[0003] However, in the field of engineering exploration, this technology has not yet been effectively applied due to factors such as the small size of engineering exploration boreholes and the complexity of testing horizontal and vertical boreholes. More importantly, the wave field reflection characteristics of geological bodies related to engineering geology, such as goafs, karst, and faults, differ from those of oil drilling, requiring targeted research. In other words, in terms of data processing, a suitable acoustic long-range detection method for horizontal boreholes has not yet been developed.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a sonic remote detection device and detection method suitable for horizontal boreholes. Summary of the Invention

[0064] The following examples or embodiments illustrate a non-limiting description of an acoustic remote detection method suitable for horizontal boreholes provided according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As described below, different features in these specific examples or embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict to obtain new examples or embodiments, all of which are also within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0065] To address the aforementioned technical issues, the technical concept of this application is based on deep learning algorithms and acoustic long-range detection technology. It performs noise reduction and geological feature extraction on reflected acoustic signals, introduces position coding to provide richer spatial information for acoustic signals, and then uses a self-attention mechanism to improve and optimize the spatial distribution characteristics and overall structural expression of geological features. In this way, a geological body identifier is used to transform this complex spatial distribution geological feature information into intuitive geological body type labels, simplifying the interpretation and analysis process of geological body identification.

[0066] Based on this, Figure 2 shows a flowchart of the acoustic remote detection method applicable to horizontal boreholes in an embodiment of this disclosure. For example, the acoustic remote detection method applicable to horizontal boreholes can be executed by a server, which can be server 100 shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 2, the acoustic remote detection method applicable to horizontal boreholes according to an embodiment of this disclosure includes the following steps: S510, acquiring reflected acoustic signals; S520, processing the reflected acoustic signals using a signal preprocessing module to obtain a sequence of reflected acoustic signal segments; S530, extracting waveform features from the sequence of reflected acoustic signal segments to obtain a sequence of waveform feature vectors for the reflected acoustic signal segments; S540, processing the sequence of waveform feature vectors for the reflected acoustic signal segments using a position encoding and autocorrelation enhancement module to obtain waveform feature vectors for highlighting important content; and S550, determining the identification result of geological bodies based on the waveform feature vectors for highlighting important content.

[0067] Specifically, in the technical solution of this application, the first step is to acquire the reflected acoustic wave signal. It should be understood that in long-range acoustic detection technology, by radiating a sound field from a sound source in the well to the surrounding strata, the sound wave energy can penetrate the well wall, interact with the underground geological structure, and then be reflected back. That is, the reflected acoustic wave signal carries information about the underground geological structure, such as characteristics of rock strata, lithology, fractures, and pores. By acquiring and further analyzing the reflected acoustic wave signal, geological structure information can be obtained, thereby enabling the identification of geological bodies.

[0068] During the actual acquisition of reflected acoustic signals, various interference factors can occur, such as equipment noise, multiple reflections caused by changes in the geological medium, and wellbore reflections. These noises can contaminate the reflected acoustic signals, affecting the subsequent extraction and analysis of geological features. In this application's technical solution, the reflected acoustic signals are denoised to obtain denoised reflected acoustic signals. More specifically, in the embodiments of this application, frequency domain filtering can be used to denoise the reflected acoustic signals. Next, the denoised reflected acoustic signals are segmented into signal segments to obtain a sequence of reflected acoustic signal segments. Here, segmenting the denoised reflected acoustic signals, which contain a relatively long time period, into shorter reflected acoustic signal segments facilitates subsequent model analysis of each segment, thereby mitigating the situation where local detail information is ignored to some extent.

[0069] Accordingly, in step S520, as shown in FIG3, the signal preprocessing module is used to process the reflected sound wave signal to obtain a sequence of reflected sound wave signal segments, including: S521, performing signal denoising on the reflected sound wave signal to obtain a denoised reflected sound wave signal; and S522, performing signal segmentation on the denoised reflected sound wave signal to obtain a sequence of reflected sound wave signal segments.

[0070] Afterwards, each reflected sound wave signal segment in the sequence is passed through a waveform feature extractor based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to obtain a sequence of waveform feature vectors for the reflected sound wave signal segments. A CNN is a deep learning model primarily used to process data with a grid structure, such as images and audio. Specifically, a CNN contains multiple convolutional and pooling layers, progressively extracting abstract features from the data through multiple convolutional processes and reducing the dimensionality of the features through pooling operations. In the technical solution of this application, the waveform feature extractor constructed using a CNN model can effectively learn the waveform features of each reflected sound wave signal segment, such as frequency, amplitude, and waveform shape, thereby characterizing the features of underground geological structures.

[0071] Accordingly, in step S530, waveform feature extraction is performed on the sequence of reflected sound wave signal segments to obtain a sequence of waveform feature vectors for the reflected sound wave signal segments, including: passing each reflected sound wave signal segment in the sequence of reflected sound wave signal segments through a waveform feature extractor based on a convolutional neural network model to obtain a sequence of waveform feature vectors for the reflected sound wave signal segments.

[0072] Subsequently, positional encoding is performed on each waveform feature vector of the reflected acoustic signal segment in the sequence of waveform feature vectors to obtain a sequence of position-coded feature vectors. Here, the purpose of positional encoding is to provide the model with positional information about each waveform feature vector of the reflected acoustic signal segment in the sequence, helping the model better understand the correlation between reflected signal waveform features at different positions in the sequence. Typically, during positional encoding, functions are used to assign a unique position vector to each position in the sequence. For example, triangular positional encoding, absolute positional encoding, or relative positional encoding can be used to process the waveform feature vectors of each reflected acoustic signal segment. Further, the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segment and the sequence of position-coded feature vectors are fused to obtain a sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segment containing positional annotations. In this way, the geological feature information contained in the original data can be taken into account, and the location information can be fully utilized, thereby improving the model's spatial perception of the distribution of geological features and avoiding confusion of various local geological feature information during feature extraction and visualization.

[0073] The sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segments containing location annotations is then processed through an autocorrelation signal feature saliency fusion network to obtain waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segments that highlight important content. That is, the autocorrelation signal feature saliency fusion network is used to obtain the full-time-domain autocorrelation of the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segments containing location annotations, capturing long-term dependencies and temporal dynamic features in the data. The essence of the autocorrelation signal feature saliency fusion network is a weighted probability distribution mechanism, that is, assigning greater weight to important content and reducing the weight to other content. This mechanism focuses on finding useful information in the input data that is significantly related to the current data, discovering the autocorrelation between the waveform feature vectors of various reflected acoustic signal segments containing location annotations. Here, the autocorrelation signal feature saliency fusion network can learn the dependencies and correlations between the waveform features of different positions and different segments of the reflected acoustic signal segments in the sequence data containing the waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segments containing location annotations, and perform autocorrelation modeling on the entire sequence, thereby gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamic fluctuation characteristics and spatial structure distribution in the reflected acoustic signal data.

[0074] Accordingly, in step S540, as shown in FIG4, the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected sound wave signal segment is processed by the position encoding and autocorrelation enhancement module to obtain the waveform feature vector of the reflected sound wave signal highlighting important content, including: S541, performing position encoding and annotation on the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected sound wave signal segment to obtain a sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected sound wave signal segment containing position annotations; and S542, passing the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected sound wave signal segment containing position annotations through an autocorrelation signal feature saliency fusion network to obtain the waveform feature vector of the reflected sound wave signal highlighting important content.

[0075] In step S541, the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic wave signal segment is position-encoded and labeled to obtain a sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic wave signal segment containing position labels. This includes: performing position encoding on each waveform feature vector of the reflected acoustic wave signal segment in the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic wave signal segment to obtain a sequence of position-encoded feature vectors; and fusing the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic wave signal segment and the sequence of position-encoded feature vectors to obtain the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic wave signal segment containing position labels.

[0076] In step S542, the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segments containing location markers is processed through an autocorrelation signal feature saliency fusion network to obtain the waveform feature vector of the important content-highlighting reflected acoustic signal. This includes processing the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segments containing location markers using the following autocorrelation signal feature saliency fusion formula to obtain the waveform feature vector of the important content-highlighting reflected acoustic signal. The autocorrelation signal feature saliency fusion formula is as follows:

[0077] Among them, e i Let W be the scoring coefficient for the i-th attention. i Let i be the weight coefficient matrix. Let B be the i-th weight coefficient vector. i Let h be the i-th bias vector, and let Selu(·) denote the Selu activation function. i V1 is the i-th waveform feature vector of the reflected acoustic signal segment containing position labels in the sequence of waveform feature vectors containing position labels, where λ and α are weighting coefficients with different values, x represents the value input to the Selu activation function, softmax(·) represents the softmax activation function, t is the length of the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segment containing position labels, and V1 is the waveform feature vector of the important content highlighting the reflected acoustic signal.

[0078] Subsequently, the waveform feature vector of the highlighted reflected acoustic signal is passed through a classifier-based geological body identifier to obtain the identification result, which is used to represent the type label of the geological body.

[0079] Accordingly, in step S550, determining the identification result of the geological body based on the waveform feature vector of the highlighted acoustic wave signal includes: passing the waveform feature vector of the highlighted acoustic wave signal through a classifier-based geological body identifier to obtain the identification result, which is used to represent the type label of the geological body.

[0080] Specifically, the waveform feature vector of the highlighted acoustic wave signal is passed through a classifier-based geological body identifier to obtain the identification result, which is used to represent the type label of the geological body. This includes: using the fully connected layer of the classifier-based geological body identifier to fully connect and encode the waveform feature vector of the highlighted acoustic wave signal to obtain an encoded classification feature vector; and inputting the encoded classification feature vector into the Softmax classification function of the classifier-based geological body identifier to obtain the identification result.

[0081] As you can understand, the role of a classifier is to learn classification rules and classifiers using given categories and known training data, and then classify (or predict) unknown data. Logistic regression and SVM are commonly used to solve binary classification problems. For multi-class classification problems, logistic regression or SVM can also be used, but multiple binary classifications are needed to form the multi-class classification. However, this is prone to errors and inefficient. A commonly used multi-class classification method is the Softmax classification function.

[0082] In the above-described technical solution, the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segment expresses the image semantic features of the reflected acoustic signal in the local time domain. Furthermore, after fusing positional coding features to obtain a sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segment containing positional annotations, and then strengthening the sequence of waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segment containing positional annotations through an autocorrelation signal feature saliency fusion network based on the autocorrelation global feature distribution of the combined image semantic-positional coding features in the local time domain, the expression complexity of the fusion of local time domain differences in the waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segment in the global time domain will also exist. This causes local distribution differences in the waveform feature vectors of the reflected acoustic signal segment, thus affecting the classification iteration effect.

[0083] Based on this, in a preferred embodiment of this application, the important content highlighted reflected acoustic wave signal waveform feature vector is passed through a classifier-based geological body identifier to obtain the recognition result, including the following steps: calculating the self-mean matrix and autovariance matrix of the important content highlighted reflected acoustic wave signal waveform feature vector, wherein the value at position (i,j) of the self-mean matrix is ​​the mean of the eigenvalues ​​at positions i and j of the important content highlighted reflected acoustic wave signal waveform feature vector, and the value at position (i,j) of the autovariance matrix is ​​the variance of the eigenvalues ​​at positions i and j of the important content highlighted reflected acoustic wave signal waveform feature vector; and performing a moment shift operation between the transpose of the important content highlighted reflected acoustic wave signal waveform feature vector (which serves as a row feature vector) and the self-mean matrix. The matrix multiplication is performed to obtain a first intermediate vector, and the autovariance matrix is ​​multiplied by the feature vector of the reflected acoustic signal waveform highlighting the important content to obtain a second intermediate vector; the point sum of the transposes of the first intermediate vector and the second intermediate vector is calculated to obtain a third intermediate vector; the matrix product of the mean matrix and the autovariance matrix is ​​calculated, and the transpose of the feature vector of the reflected acoustic signal waveform highlighting the important content is multiplied by the matrix product to obtain a fourth intermediate vector; the point sum of the transposes of the third intermediate vector and the fourth intermediate vector is calculated to obtain an optimized feature vector of the reflected acoustic signal waveform highlighting the important content; the optimized feature vector of the reflected acoustic signal waveform highlighting the important content is passed through the classifier-based geological body identifier to obtain the recognition result.

[0084] Based on this, the self-mean matrix and self-variance matrix of the group aggregation statistical evaluation used for the granular local distribution of the feature vector of the reflected acoustic wave signal waveform highlighting the important content are used as the retrieval and response distribution enhancement of the feature vector of the reflected acoustic wave signal waveform highlighting the important content. A referenceless distribution retrieval response framework based on the open domain of the feature distribution of the reflected acoustic wave signal waveform highlighting the important content is constructed. By superimposing responses, the redundancy of the distribution response caused by the local overflow features of the feature vector of the reflected acoustic wave signal waveform highlighting the important content is avoided. This achieves the fidelity constraint of the response self-aggregation statistical correlation of the optimized feature vector of the reflected acoustic wave signal waveform highlighting the important content to the classification target domain, and improves the accuracy of the recognition results obtained by the geological body recognizer based on the classifier of the optimized feature vector of the reflected acoustic wave signal waveform highlighting the important content.

[0085] Furthermore, in the technical solution disclosed herein, the acoustic remote detection method applicable to horizontal boreholes further includes a training step: training the waveform feature extractor based on the convolutional neural network model, the autocorrelation signal feature saliency fusion network, and the geological body identifier based on the classifier.

[0086] In one example, the training step includes: acquiring training data, which includes training reflected acoustic wave signals and true values ​​of geological body type labels; performing signal denoising on the training reflected acoustic wave signals to obtain denoised reflected acoustic wave signals; segmenting the denoised reflected acoustic wave signals into signal segments to obtain a sequence of training reflected acoustic wave signal segments; passing each training reflected acoustic wave signal segment in the sequence of training reflected acoustic wave signal segments through the waveform feature extractor based on the convolutional neural network model to obtain a sequence of waveform feature vectors for training reflected acoustic wave signal segments; performing position encoding on each waveform feature vector in the sequence of waveform feature vectors for training reflected acoustic wave signal segments to obtain a sequence of position-encoded feature vectors for training; and fusing the waveform feature vectors of the training reflected acoustic wave signal segments. The sequence of shape feature vectors and the sequence of training position encoded feature vectors are used to obtain a sequence of training reflected acoustic signal segment waveform feature vectors containing position labels; the sequence of training reflected acoustic signal segment waveform feature vectors containing position labels is passed through the autocorrelation signal feature saliency fusion network to obtain training important content highlighted reflected acoustic signal waveform feature vectors; the training important content highlighted reflected acoustic signal waveform feature vectors are passed through the classifier-based geological body recognizer to obtain a classification loss function value; and the classification loss function value is used to train the waveform feature extractor based on the convolutional neural network model, the autocorrelation signal feature saliency fusion network, and the classifier-based geological body recognizer, wherein, in each iteration of the training, the training important content highlighted reflected acoustic signal waveform feature vectors are corrected.

[0087] In particular, considering that the feature vector of the reflected acoustic wave signal waveform highlighted by the training content has rich geometric details in the high-dimensional feature space, there is a distortion in the class representation when it is classified by the classifier to map to the class probability domain. That is, it affects the class representation of the feature vector of the reflected acoustic wave signal waveform highlighted by the training content for the classifier's predetermined class, thereby reducing the accuracy of the recognition result.

[0088] Based on this, the applicant of this application corrects the waveform feature vector of the reflected acoustic wave signal highlighting the important training content each time the waveform feature vector of the trained important content is classified and iterated by the classifier-based geological body identifier.

[0089] Accordingly, in one example, in each iteration of the training, the waveform feature vector of the highlighted reflected acoustic signal is corrected using the following correction formula to obtain the corrected waveform feature vector of the highlighted reflected acoustic signal; wherein, the correction formula is:

[0090] Where p is the class probability value obtained by the classifier through the feature vector V of the reflected sound wave signal waveform highlighted by the training content. This refers to the i-th eigenvalue of the waveform feature vector V of the reflected sound wave signal, which is a key aspect of the training process. V is the mean of all eigenvalues ​​of the waveform feature vector V of the reflected acoustic wave signal highlighted by the training content. ||V||1 represents the first norm of the waveform feature vector V of the reflected acoustic wave signal highlighted by the training content, and α is a weight hyperparameter. exp(·) represents the exponential operation of the value, which means calculating the natural exponential function value raised to the power of the value. v is a weight hyperparameter. i ′ It is the i-th feature value of the waveform feature vector of the reflected sound wave signal, which is an important part of the corrected training.

[0091] Specifically, while preserving the geometric details of the high-dimensional feature manifold under the class probability mapping of the reflected acoustic wave signal waveform feature vector V, the feature value itself is edited in terms of shape attribute relative to the feature set of the reflected acoustic wave signal waveform feature vector V through a class probability distortion consultation. This allows the class probability distortion mapping of the reflected acoustic wave signal waveform feature vector V to the latent class space feature representation. Then, consultation fusion is performed by supplementing the basic low-rank constrained latent inversion representation to bridge the gap between the edited consultation representation and the original geometric details. This improves the class representation of the high-dimensional features of the reflected acoustic wave signal waveform feature vector V, thereby improving the accuracy of the recognition results.
