Intelligent Well Log Data Analysis for Reservoir Characterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Well log data analysis plays an important role in petroleum exploration. It is used to identify the potential for oil production at a given source and so forms the basis for the estimation of financial returns and economic benefits. In recent years, many computational intelligence techniques such as backpropagation neural networks (BPNN) and fuzzy systems have been applied to perform the task. Support vector machines (SVMs) are new techniques and very few reports have been published in this application area. This paper presents the investigation and comparison of BPNN model with a SVM model on a set of practical well log data. Future directions of exploring of the use of SVM for improved results will also be discussed.

Rock selection in modeling and simulation studies is usually based on two techniques; routinely defined rock types and those defined by special core analysis (SCAL). The challenge in utilizing these two techniques is that they are frequently assumed to be the same, but in practice, static rock-types (routinely defined) are not always representative of dynamic rock-types (SCAL defined) in the re...

The spatial distribution of petrophysical properties within the reservoirs is one of the most important factors in reservoir characterization. Flow units are the continuous body over a specific reservoir volume within which the geological and petrophysical properties are the same. Accordingly, an accurate prediction of flow units is a major task to achieve a reliable petrophysical description o...
