23 results about "Logging while drilling" patented technology

Logging while drilling (LWD) is a technique of conveying well logging tools into the well borehole downhole as part of the bottom hole assembly (BHA). Although the terms Measurement while drilling (MWD) and LWD are related, within the context of this section, the term MWD refers to directional-drilling measurements, e.g., for decision support for the smooth operation of the drilling, while LWD refers to measurements concerning the geological formation made while drilling.[1]LWD tools work with its measurement while drilling (MWD) system to transmit partial or complete measurement results to the surface via typically a drilling mud pulser or other improved techniques, while LWD tools are still in the borehole, which is called "real-time data". Complete measurement results can be downloaded from LWD tools after they are pulled out of hole, which is called "memory data".

A cross-well shear wave velocity prediction method based on GR lithology binning alignment

PendingCN122362532ALithologyFeature set
This invention discloses a cross-well shear wave velocity prediction method based on GR lithology bin alignment. Addressing the problems of large inter-well lithological differences, inconsistent engineering parameter distributions, and insufficient utilization of multi-source features in existing cross-well prediction methods, this method first collects drilling engineering parameters and logging data from multiple wells. After preprocessing, the data is divided into training and test sets using the well retention method. The optimal GR lithology bin alignment strategy is selected from the training set to achieve inter-well lithology alignment. Based on this, the absolute and relative deviation characteristics of engineering parameters are calculated, and drilling logging features such as P-wave transit time and density are integrated to construct a complete prediction feature set. Finally, the LightGBM regression algorithm is used to establish a cross-well shear wave velocity prediction model, which is optimized using an early stopping mechanism before outputting the prediction results. Practical application shows that the coefficient of determination R0 is significantly improved. 2 The accuracy reached 0.91, which is more than 18% higher than that of traditional modeling methods, and can effectively achieve high-precision and rapid prediction under the condition of no shear wave logging in new wells.

A method for predicting trans-well shear wave velocity based on latent space correction

PendingCN122307708AWell loggingEngineering
A cross-well shear wave velocity prediction method based on latent space correction (LSA) is proposed. The core of this invention lies in constructing a latent space correction model (LSA-Model). This method first collects drilling engineering parameters, logging-while-drilling (LWD) data, and depth characteristics from multiple wells. Preprocessing of the drilling engineering parameters, such as well-level normalization, eliminates inter-well systematic biases. The constructed model comprises three main parts: an encoder module, a gamma-ray (GR) prediction branch, and a shear wave velocity (Vs) prediction branch, ultimately outputting predicted shear wave velocity values. By introducing GR prediction as a geological anchor point, this method forces the engineering parameters of different wells to be corrected in the latent space, thereby effectively improving the model's prediction accuracy and generalization ability on new wells. Practical applications show that the prediction performance of this method in cross-well validation scenarios is significantly better than baseline models that only use LWD data or simply stitch together multi-source data.
