Well Logging Based Lithology Identification Model Establishment Under Data Drift: A Transfer Learning Method

Abstract

<jats:p>Recent years have witnessed the development of the applications of machine learning technologies to well logging-based lithology identification. Most of the existing work assumes that the well loggings gathered from different wells share the same probability distribution; however, the variations in sedimentary environment and well-logging technique might cause the data drift problem; i.e., data of different wells have different probability distributions. Therefore, the model trained on old wells does not perform well in predicting the lithologies in newly-coming wells, which motivates us to propose a transfer learning method named the data drift joint adaptation extreme learning machine (DDJA-ELM) to increase the accuracy of the old model applying to new wells. In such a method, three key points, i.e., the project mean maximum mean discrepancy, joint distribution domain adaptation, and manifold regularization, are incorporated into extreme learning machine. As found experimentally in multiple wells in Jiyang Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, DDJA-ELM could significantly increase the accuracy of an old model when identifying the lithologies in new wells.</jats:p>

Exploring novel hybrid soft computing models for landslide susceptibility mapping in Son La hydropower reservoir basin

“…Early spatial prediction of landslides is desirable to prevent the landslides, and thus, the damages (Lombardo et al 2020). Natural and anthropogenic activities usually affect the landslides occurrence (Liu et al 2020). Researchers have come up with various methods to identify landslide prone areas and solutions to reduce the adverse consequences of landslides.…”

A Data-Driven Approach for Lithology Identification Based on Parameter-Optimized Ensemble Learning

“…Such patterns can be applied in simulators for the purpose of understanding the potentiality of an oil field. Apart from the significance in geological studies, lithology identification also has practical value in enhanced oil recovery processes and well planning [1][2][3][4].…”

“…Using the Tukey's method to detect outliers is a standard method of noise reduction. In this method, the sequence has been divided into four parts, and then it is required to find the first quartiles 1 Q and third quartiles 3 Q [22]. The interquartile range (IQR) is calculated by Equation (1).…”

“…The interquartile range (IQR) is calculated by Equation (1). Lower Inner Fence (LIF) and Upper Inner Fence (UIF) have been calculated through Equations ( 2) and (3). All the values outside of LIF and UIF are considered as outliers and should be eliminated.…”

Unsupervised deep domain adaptation framework in remote acoustic time parametric imaging

“…Inheriting existing backbones is an intuitive idea to supply F I G U R E 1 Principle of the imaging instrument (the acoustic tool works in the reflection mode with ultrasonic pulse-echo) the gap between different imaging systems directly, but a direct transfer possibly fails to analyse unlabelled signals from other public datasets due to distribution discrepancy. What compounds this confusion is that network models with different tasks extract specific features of waveforms [31]. Indirectly, by reducing the joint distribution difference, the domain adaptation theory has paved the way for feasibility, the idea of which is to maintain parameter estimation performance and obtain the feature representation between different domains [32].…”
