High‐resolution reservoir prediction method based on data‐driven and model‐based approaches

Abstract

The Jiyang depression in the southeastern part of the Bohai Bay Basin has a relatively large scale set of shale oil in the Paleogene Shahejie Formation, but the complex internal components lead to narrow frequency bands, low resolution and difficulty in reservoir information extraction. Impedance is important information for reservoir characterization, and how to predict high‐resolution impedance using available information is particularly important. Deep learning, known for its effectiveness in addressing non‐linear problems, has found extensive applications in various fields of oil and gas exploration. However, the challenges of overfitting and poor generalization persist due to the limited availability of training datasets. Besides, existing methods often use networks to solve a single problem in fact, deep learning can deal with a series of problems intelligently. In order to partially solve the above problems, an intelligent storage prediction network framework is proposed in this paper. Physical information is introduced to realize data‐driven and model‐based approaches, thus solving the problem of difficult construction of training datasets. The processing part accomplishes the high‐resolution processing of seismic records, thus solving the problems of narrow bandwidth and low resolution. Initial model constraints are introduced so as to obtain more stable inversion results. Finally, the well data is compared and analysed to identify and predict the lithology and complete the intelligent prediction of unconventional reservoirs. The results are compared with the traditional model‐driven inversion method, revealing that the approach presented in this paper exhibits higher resolution in predicting dolomite. This contributes to the establishment of a robust data foundation for reservoir evaluation.
