However, limited study is performed on utilizing geochemical data and well log data to evaluate coaly hydrocarbon source rocks. In this study, geochemical data and well log data are selected from two key wells to conduct an evaluation of coaly hydrocarbon source rocks of Jurassic Kezilenuer Formation in Kuqa Depression of Tarim Basin. Initially, analysis was focused on geochemical parameters to assess organic matter type, source rock quality, and hydrocarbon generation potential.Lithology types of source rocks include mudstone, carbonaceous mudstone and coal. The predominant organic matter type identified was Type Ⅲ and Type Ⅱ_(2), indicating a favorable hydrocarbon generation potential. Well log data are integrated to predict total organic carbon(TOC) content, and the results indicate that multiple regression method is effective in predicting TOC of carbonaceous mudstone and coal. However, the ΔlgR method exhibited limited predictive capability for mudstone source rock.Additionally, machine learning methods including multilayer perceptron neural network(MLP), random forest(RF), and extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost) techniques are employed to predict TOC of mudstone source rock. The XGBoost performs best in TOC prediction with correlation coefficient(R2) of 0.9517, indicating a close agreement between measured and predicted TOC values. This study provides a reliable prediction method of coaly hydrocarbon source rocks through machine learning methods, and will provide guidance for resource assessment.展开更多

文摘This study explores the application of machine learning techniques for predicting permeability,porosity,and flow zone indicator(FZI)in carbonate reservoirs using well log data,aiming to overcome the limitations of traditional empirical methods.Six machine learning algorithms are utilized:support vector machine(SVM),backpropagation(BP)neural network,gaussian process regression(GPR),extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),K-nearest neighbor(KNN),and random forest(RF).The methodology involves classifying pore-permeability types based on the flow index,leveraging logging curves and geological data.Models are trained using seven logging parameters—spectral gamma rays(SGR),uranium-free gamma rays(CGR),photoelectric absorption cross-section index(PE),lithologic density(RHOB),acoustic transit time(DT),neutron porosity(NPHI),and formation true resistivity(RT)—along with corresponding physical property labels.Machine learning models are trained and evaluated to predict carbonate rock properties.The results demonstrate that GPR achieves the highest accuracy in porosity prediction,with a coefficient of determination(R~2)value of 0.7342,while RF proves to be the most accurate for permeability prediction.Despite these improvements,accurately predicting lowpermeability zones in heterogeneous carbonate rocks remains a significant challenge.Application of cross-validation techniques optimized the performance of GPR,resulting in an accuracy index(ACI)value of 0.9699 for porosity prediction.This study provides a novel framework that leverages machine learning techniques to improve the characterization of carbonate reservoirs.

文摘As computer data grows exponentially,detecting anomalies within system logs has become increasingly important.Current research on log anomaly detection largely depends on log templates derived from log parsing.Word embedding is utilized to extract information from these templates.However,this method neglects a portion of the content within the logs and confronts the challenge of data imbalance among various log template types after parsing.Currently,specialized research on data imbalance across log template categories remains scarce.A dual-attention-based log anomaly detection model(LogDA),which leveraged data imbalance,was proposed to address these issues in the work.The LogDA model initially utilized a pre-trained model to extract semantic embedding from log templates.Besides,the similarity between embedding was calculated to discern the relationships among the various templates.Then,a Transformer model with a dual-attention mechanism was constructed to capture positional information and global dependencies.Compared to multiple baseline experiments across three public datasets,the proposed approach could improve precision,recall,and F1 scores.

文摘Machine learning algorithms are widely used to interpret well logging data.To enhance the algorithms'robustness,shuffling the well logging data is an unavoidable feature engineering before training models.However,latent information stored between different well logging types and depth is destroyed during the shuffle.To investigate the influence of latent information,this study implements graph convolution networks(GCNs),long-short temporal memory models,recurrent neural networks,temporal convolution networks,and two artificial neural networks to predict the microbial lithology in the fourth member of the Dengying Formation,Moxi gas field,central Sichuan Basin.Results indicate that the GCN model outperforms other models.The accuracy,F1-score,and area under curve of the GCN model are 0.90,0.90,and 0.95,respectively.Experimental results indicate that the time-series data facilitates lithology prediction and helps determine lithological fluctuations in the vertical direction.All types of logs from the spectral in the GCN model and also facilitates lithology identification.Only on condition combined with latent information,the GCN model reaches excellent microbialite classification resolution at the centimeter scale.Ultimately,the two actual cases show tricks for using GCN models to predict potential microbialite in other formations and areas,proving that the GCN model can be adopted in the industry.

文摘A cased well model consists of a coaxial tank and casing,which houses coaxially installed transmitting and receiving coils.The transmitting coil is excited by the current produced by the transmitting circuit,and transient electromagnetic responses occur in the casing,including direct coupling and casing responses.As the range between the transmitting and receiving coils increases,direct coupling responses decay rapidly,are less than the casing response at 0.3 m,and disappear at 0.7 m.By contrast,a casing response increases rapidly and then declines slowly after reaching a peak and changes little within a specifi c range.The peak decreases slowly with range.The continuous addition of water to the tank causes slight changes in transient electromagnetic responses,so the diff erence which are subtracted from the response without water is used.Moreover,the diff erences at the time of rapid increase in response and the time of rapid decrease in response are large,forming a peak and a trough.Given that the conductivity of water in a full tank changes after the addition of salt,the diff erence in the peak is linear with the increase in the conductivity of water.This result provides an experimental basis for the design of a transient electromagnetic logging instrument that measures the conductivity of formation in cased well.

文摘Coaly source rocks have attracted considerable attention for their significant hydrocarbon generation potential in recent years. However, limited study is performed on utilizing geochemical data and well log data to evaluate coaly hydrocarbon source rocks. In this study, geochemical data and well log data are selected from two key wells to conduct an evaluation of coaly hydrocarbon source rocks of Jurassic Kezilenuer Formation in Kuqa Depression of Tarim Basin. Initially, analysis was focused on geochemical parameters to assess organic matter type, source rock quality, and hydrocarbon generation potential.Lithology types of source rocks include mudstone, carbonaceous mudstone and coal. The predominant organic matter type identified was Type Ⅲ and Type Ⅱ_(2), indicating a favorable hydrocarbon generation potential. Well log data are integrated to predict total organic carbon(TOC) content, and the results indicate that multiple regression method is effective in predicting TOC of carbonaceous mudstone and coal. However, the ΔlgR method exhibited limited predictive capability for mudstone source rock.Additionally, machine learning methods including multilayer perceptron neural network(MLP), random forest(RF), and extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost) techniques are employed to predict TOC of mudstone source rock. The XGBoost performs best in TOC prediction with correlation coefficient(R2) of 0.9517, indicating a close agreement between measured and predicted TOC values. This study provides a reliable prediction method of coaly hydrocarbon source rocks through machine learning methods, and will provide guidance for resource assessment.

文摘Neutron well logging,using instruments equipped with neutron source and detectors(e.g.,^(3)He-tubes,Nal,BGO),plays a key role in lithological differentiation,porosity determination,and fluid property evaluation in the petroleum industry.The growing trend of multifu nctional neutron well logging,which enables simultaneous extraction of multiple reservoir characteristics,requiring high-performance detectors capable of withstanding high-temperature downhole conditions,limited space,and instrument vibrations,while also detecting multiple particle types.The Cs_(2)LiYCl_(6):Ce^(3+)(CLYC)elpasolite scintillator demonstrates excellent temperature resistance and detection efficiency,making it become a promising candidate for leading the development of the novel neutron-based double-particle logging technology.This study employed Monte Carlo simulations to generate equivalent gamma spectra and proposed a pulse shape discrimination simulation method based on theoretical analysis and probabilistic iteration.The performance of CLYC was compared to that of common detectors in terms of physical properties and detection efficiency.A double-particle pulsed neutron detection system for porosity determination was established,based on the count ratio of equivalent gamma rays from the range of 2.95-3.42 MeVee energy bins.Results showed that CLYC can effectively replace ^(3)He-tubes for porosity measurement,providing consistent responses.This study offers numerical simulation support for the design of future neutron well logging tools and the application of double-particle detectors in logging systems.
文摘China,as the world’s largest coal producer and consumer,faces increasingly severe challenges from coal mine goaf areas formed through decades of intensive mining.These underground voids,resulting from exhausted resources or technical limitations,not only cause environmental issues like land subsidence and groundwater contamination but also pose critical safety risks for ongoing mining operations,including water inrushes,gas outbursts,and roof collapses.Conventional geophysical methods such as seismic surveys and electromagnetic detection demonstrate limited effectiveness in complex geological conditions due to susceptibility to electrical heterogeneity,electromagnetic interference,and interpretation ambiguities.This study presents an innovative integrated approach combining the Audio-Frequency Electrical Transillumination(AFET)method with multi-parameter borehole logging to establish a three-dimensional detection system.The AFET technique employs 0.1–10 kHz electromagnetic waves to identify electrical anomalies associated with goafs,enabling extensive horizontal scanning.This is complemented by vertical high-resolution profiling through borehole measurements of resistivity,spontaneous potential,and acoustic velocity.Field applications in Shanxi Province’s typical coal mines achieved breakthrough results:Using a grid-drilling pattern(15 m spacing,300 m depth),the method successfully detected three concealed goafs missed by conventional approaches,with spatial positioning errors under 0.5 m.Notably,it accurately identified two un-collapsed water-filled cavities.This surface-borehole synergistic approach overcomes single-method limitations,enhancing goaf detection accuracy to over 92%.The technique provides reliable technical support for safe mining practices and represents significant progress in precise detection of hidden geological hazards in Chinese coal mines,offering valuable insights for global mining geophysics.

文摘To improve the accuracy and generalization of well logging curve reconstruction,this paper proposes an artificial intelligence large language model“Gaia”and conducts model evaluation experiments.By fine-tuning the pre-trained large language model,the Gaia significantly improved its ability in extracting sequential patterns and spatial features from well-log curves.Leveraging the adapter method for fine-tuning,this model required training only about 1/70 of its original parameters,greatly improving training efficiency.Comparative experiments,ablation experiments,and generalization experiments were designed and conducted using well-log data from 250 wells.In the comparative experiment,the Gaia model was benchmarked against cutting-edge small deep learning models and conventional large language models,demonstrating that the Gaia model reduced the mean absolute error(MAE)by at least 20%.In the ablation experiments,the synergistic effect of the Gaia model's multiple components was validated,with its MAE being at least 30%lower than that of single-component models.In the generalization experiments,the superior performance of the Gaia model in blind-well predictions was further confirmed.Compared to traditional models,the Gaia model is significantly superior in accuracy and generalization for logging curve reconstruction,fully showcasing the potential of large language models in the field of well-logging.This provides a new approach for future intelligent logging data processing.
