A Carbonate Reservoir Prediction Method Based on Deep Learning and Multiparameter Joint Inversion

Abstract

Deep-water carbonate reservoirs are currently the focus of global oil and gas production activities. The characterization of strongly heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs, especially the prediction of fluids in deep-water presalt carbonate reservoirs, exposes difficulties in reservoir inversion due to their complex structures and weak seismic signals. Therefore, a multiparameter joint inversion method is proposed to comprehensively utilize the information of different seismic angle gathers and the simultaneous inversion of multiple seismic parameters. Compared with the commonly used simultaneous constrained sparse-pulse inversion method, the multiparameter joint inversion method can characterize thinner layers that are consistent with data and can obtain higher-resolution presalt reservoir results. Based on the results of multiparameter joint inversion, in this paper, we further integrate the long short-term memory network algorithm to predict the porosity of presalt reef reservoirs. Compared with a fully connected neural network based on the backpropagation algorithm, the porosity results are in better agreement with the new log porosity curves, with the average porosity of the four wells increasing from 89.48% to 97.76%. The results show that the method, which is based on deep learning and multiparameter joint inversion, can more accurately identify porosity and has good application prospects in the prediction of carbonate reservoirs with complex structures.
