Valuable data extraction for resistivity imaging logging interpretation

Abstract

Imaging logging has become a popular means of well logging because it can visually represent the lithologic and structural characteristics of strata. The manual interpretation of imaging logging is affected by the limitations of the naked eye and experiential factors. As a result, manual interpretation accuracy is low. Therefore, it is highly useful to develop effective automatic imaging logging interpretation by machine learning. Resistivity imaging logging is the most widely used technology for imaging logging. In this paper, we propose an automatic extraction procedure for the geological features in resistivity imaging logging images. This procedure is based on machine learning and achieves good results in practical applications. Acknowledging that the existence of valueless data significantly affects the recognition effect, we propose three strategies for the identification of valueless data based on binary classification. We compare the effect of the three strategies both on an experimental dataset and in a production environment, and find that the merging method is the best performing of the three strategies. It effectively identifies the valueless data in the well logging images, thus significantly improving the automatic recognition effect of geological features in resistivity logging images.

Sensitivity Analysis of Mechanical Parameters of Collapse Roof of Carbonate Rock Deep Buried Oilfield

“…At present, domestic and foreign scholars' research on cave collapse and damage mainly relies on drilling cores and analyzing imaging logging data to determine the form Energies 2023, 16, 4141 2 of 16 of cave collapse and damage [7,8]. In addition, Tang et al [9] systematically summarized the structural characteristics of ancient karst collapse, believing that modern karst collapse is mainly caused by the collapse of roofs and side walls triggered by cracks under gravity.…”

A Universal Multi-Frequency Micro-Resistivity Array Imaging Method for Subsurface Sensing

“…With the development of array imaging, micro-resistivity array imaging system [24][25][26] can obtain a variety of rich formation information in circumferential direction and radial direction of the borehole, which is suitable for the exploration and development of complex concealed oil and gas reservoirs [27][28][29]. One of the most widely used micro-resistivity imaging tool is the formation micro scanner, which was developed by Schlumberger in the 1980s.…”
