Computer vision technology in log volume inspection

Log volume inspection is very important in forestry research and paper making engineering. This paper proposed a novel approach based on computer vision technology to cope with log volume inspection. The needed hardware system was analyzed and the details of the inspection algorithms were given. A fuzzy entropy based on image enhancement algorithm was presented for enhancing the image of the cross-section of log. In many practical applications the cross-section is often partially invisible, and this is the major obstacle for correct inspection. To solve this problem, a robust Hausdorff distance method was proposed to recover the whole cross-section. Experiment results showed that this method was efficient.

Pore size classification and prediction based on distribution of reservoir fluid volumes utilizing well logs and deep learning algorithm in a complex lithology

Pore size analysis plays a pivotal role in unraveling reservoir behavior and its intricate relationship with confined fluids.Traditional methods for predicting pore size distribution(PSD),relying on drilling cores or thin sections,face limitations associated with depth specificity.In this study,we introduce an innovative framework that leverages nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)log data,encompassing clay-bound water(CBW),bound volume irreducible(BVI),and free fluid volume(FFV),to determine three PSDs(micropores,mesopores,and macropores).Moreover,we establish a robust pore size classification(PSC)system utilizing ternary plots,derived from the PSDs.Within the three studied wells,NMR log data is exclusive to one well(well-A),while conventional well logs are accessible for all three wells(well-A,well-B,and well-C).This distinction enables PSD predictions for the remaining two wells(B and C).To prognosticate NMR outputs(CBW,BVI,FFV)for these wells,a two-step deep learning(DL)algorithm is implemented.Initially,three feature selection algorithms(f-classif,f-regression,and mutual-info-regression)identify the conventional well logs most correlated to NMR outputs in well-A.The three feature selection algorithms utilize statistical computations.These algorithms are utilized to systematically identify and optimize pertinent input features,thereby augmenting model interpretability and predictive efficacy within intricate data-driven endeavors.So,all three feature selection algorithms introduced the number of 4 logs as the most optimal number of inputs to the DL algorithm with different combinations of logs for each of the three desired outputs.Subsequently,the CUDA Deep Neural Network Long Short-Term Memory algorithm(CUDNNLSTM),belonging to the category of DL algorithms and harnessing the computational power of GPUs,is employed for the prediction of CBW,BVI,and FFV logs.This prediction leverages the optimal logs identified in the preceding step.Estimation of NMR outputs was done first in well-A(80%of data as training and 20%as testing).The correlation coefficient(CC)between the actual and estimated data for the three outputs CBW,BVI and FFV are 95%,94%,and 97%,respectively,as well as root mean square error(RMSE)was obtained 0.0081,0.098,and 0.0089,respectively.To assess the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm,we compared it with two traditional methods for log estimation:multiple regression and multi-resolution graph-based clustering methods.The results demonstrate the superior accuracy of our algorithm in comparison to these conventional approaches.This DL-driven approach facilitates PSD prediction grounded in fluid saturation for wells B and C.Ternary plots are then employed for PSCs.Seven distinct PSCs within well-A employing actual NMR logs(CBW,BVI,FFV),in conjunction with an equivalent count within wells B and C utilizing three predicted logs,are harmoniously categorized leading to the identification of seven distinct pore size classification facies(PSCF).this research introduces an advanced approach to pore size classification and prediction,fusing NMR logs with deep learning techniques and extending their application to nearby wells without NMR log.The resulting PSCFs offer valuable insights into generating precise and detailed reservoir 3D models.

Reservoir Evaluation and Volumetric Analysis of Rancho Field, Niger Delta, Using Well Log and 3D Seismic Data

Exploration and exploitation for hydrocarbon are associated with a lot of complexities, it is therefore necessary to integrate available geologic models for accurate hydrocarbon prospecting and risk analysis. This study is aimed at determining the structural, petrophysical and volumetric parameters for reservoir evaluation within the Rancho field. 3D seismic data was used for evaluating the hydrocarbon potential of the field. A suite of well logs but not limited to gamma ray logs (GR), deep resistivity log (DRES), neutron log (NPHI) and density log (RHOB) from four (4) wells were employed in characterising dynamic properties of the reservoirs. The GR log was used in lithology identification while the resistivity log was used in identifying probable hydrocarbon bearing sands. A correlation exercise was carried out to identify lateral continuity and discontinuity of facies across the wells. Thereafter petrophysical parameters were analysed from the suite of wire line logs. Major faults were mapped on the 3D seismic data and identified hydrocarbon bearing sand tops from the well logs were mapped as horizons on the seismic section, maps were generated and volumetric analysis was done. Nine (9) hydrocarbon sands (Sands A - I) were identified within the study area. The well log revealed an alternation of sand and shale layers as well as shale layers increased in thickness with depth, while the sand bodies reduced in thickness with depth which characterized the Abgada Formation of the Niger Delta. The effective porosities of the sands range from 21% - 31%, the permeability ranges from 28% - 44%, 70% - 80% for the net to gross, volume of shale range from 14% - 40% and hydrocarbon saturation ranges from 63% - 82%. Twelve (12) faults were mapped within the study area and the structural styles revealed a fault assisted closures. The volumetric analysis showed that Sand F had Stock Tank Oil Initially In Place (STOIIP) of 5,050,000,000 bbls of oil and Sand G had STOIIP of 17,870,000,000 bbls, these sands are proposed to be developd because of the volume of oil in them and area covered by the reservoir, calculated Gross Rock Volume (GRV) of 29.5 km3 and 104.5 km3 respectively.

Feasibility of Estimating Patient-Specific Dose Verification Results Directly from Linear Accelerator Log Files in Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy

The feasibility of estimating patient-specific dose verification results directly from linear accelerator (linac) log files has been investigated for prostate cancer patients who undergo volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Twenty-six patients who underwent VMAT in our facility were consecutively selected. VMAT plans were created using Monaco treatment planning system and were transferred to an Elekta linac. During the beam delivery, dynamic machine parameters such as positions of the multi-leaf collimator and the gantry were recorded in the log files;subsequently, root mean square (rms) values of control errors, speeds and accelerations of the above machine parameters were calculated for each delivery. Dose verification was performed for all the plans using a cylindrical phantom with diodes placed in a spiral array. The gamma index pass rates were evaluated under 3%/3 mm and 2%/2 mm criteria with a dose threshold of 10%. Subsequently, the correlation coefficients between the gamma index pass rates and each of the above rms values were calculated. Under the 2%/2 mm criteria, significant negative correlations were found between the gamma index pass rates and the rms gantry angle errors (r = 0.64, p < 0.001) as well as the pass rates and the rms gantry accelerations (r = 0.68, p < 0.001). On the other hand, the rms values of the other dynamic machine parameters did not significantly correlate with the gamma index pass rates. We suggest that the VMAT quality assurance (QA) results can be directly estimated from the log file thereby providing potential to simplify patient-specific prostate VMAT QA procedure.

Data-driven human and bot recognition from web activity logs based on hybrid learning techniques

Distinguishing between web traffic generated by bots and humans is an important task in the evaluation of online marketing campaigns.One of the main challenges is related to only partial availability of the performance metrics:although some users can be unambiguously classified as bots,the correct label is uncertain in many cases.This calls for the use of classifiers capable of explaining their decisions.This paper demonstrates two such mechanisms based on features carefully engineered from web logs.The first is a man-made rule-based system.The second is a hierarchical model that first performs clustering and next classification using human-centred,interpretable methods.The stability of the proposed methods is analyzed and a minimal set of features that convey the classdiscriminating information is selected.The proposed data processing and analysis methodology are successfully applied to real-world data sets from online publishers.

Identification of reservoir types in deep carbonates based on mixedkernel machine learning using geophysical logging data

Identification of reservoir types in deep carbonates has always been a great challenge due to complex logging responses caused by the heterogeneous scale and distribution of storage spaces.Traditional cross-plot analysis and empirical formula methods for identifying reservoir types using geophysical logging data have high uncertainty and low efficiency,which cannot accurately reflect the nonlinear relationship between reservoir types and logging data.Recently,the kernel Fisher discriminant analysis(KFD),a kernel-based machine learning technique,attracts attention in many fields because of its strong nonlinear processing ability.However,the overall performance of KFD model may be limited as a single kernel function cannot simultaneously extrapolate and interpolate well,especially for highly complex data cases.To address this issue,in this study,a mixed kernel Fisher discriminant analysis(MKFD)model was established and applied to identify reservoir types of the deep Sinian carbonates in central Sichuan Basin,China.The MKFD model was trained and tested with 453 datasets from 7 coring wells,utilizing GR,CAL,DEN,AC,CNL and RT logs as input variables.The particle swarm optimization(PSO)was adopted for hyper-parameter optimization of MKFD model.To evaluate the model performance,prediction results of MKFD were compared with those of basic-kernel based KFD,RF and SVM models.Subsequently,the built MKFD model was applied in a blind well test,and a variable importance analysis was conducted.The comparison and blind test results demonstrated that MKFD outperformed traditional KFD,RF and SVM in the identification of reservoir types,which provided higher accuracy and stronger generalization.The MKFD can therefore be a reliable method for identifying reservoir types of deep carbonates.

A Real-time Lithological Identification Method based on SMOTE-Tomek and ICSA Optimization

In petroleum engineering,real-time lithology identification is very important for reservoir evaluation,drilling decisions and petroleum geological exploration.A lithology identification method while drilling based on machine learning and mud logging data is studied in this paper.This method can effectively utilize downhole parameters collected in real-time during drilling,to identify lithology in real-time and provide a reference for optimization of drilling parameters.Given the imbalance of lithology samples,the synthetic minority over-sampling technique(SMOTE)and Tomek link were used to balance the sample number of five lithologies.Meanwhile,this paper introduces Tent map,random opposition-based learning and dynamic perceived probability to the original crow search algorithm(CSA),and establishes an improved crow search algorithm(ICSA).In this paper,ICSA is used to optimize the hyperparameter combination of random forest(RF),extremely random trees(ET),extreme gradient boosting(XGB),and light gradient boosting machine(LGBM)models.In addition,this study combines the recognition advantages of the four models.The accuracy of lithology identification by the weighted average probability model reaches 0.877.The study of this paper realizes high-precision real-time lithology identification method,which can provide lithology reference for the drilling process.

A log-based method for fine-scale evaluation of lithofacies and its applications to the Gulong shale in the Songliao Basin,Northeast China

The Gulong shale demonstrates high clay content and pronounced thin laminations,with limited vertical variability in log curves,complicating lithofacies classification.To comprehend the distribution and compositional features of lithofacies in the Gulong shale for optimal sweet spot selection and reservoir stimulation,this study introduced a lithofacies classification scheme and a log-based lithofacies evaluation method.Specifically,theΔlgR method was utilized for accurately determining the total organic carbon(TOC)content;a multi-mineral model based on element-to-mineral content conversion coefficients was developed to enhance mineral composition prediction accuracy,and the microresistivity curve variations derived from formation micro-image(FMI)log were used to compute lamination density,offering insights into sedimentary structures.Using this method,integrating TOC content,sedimentary structures,and mineral compositions,the Qingshankou Formation is classified into four lithofacies and 12 sublithofacies,displaying 90.6%accuracy compared to core description outcomes.The classification results reveal that the northern portion of the study area exhibits more prevalent fissile felsic shales,siltstone interlayers,shell limestones,and dolomites.Vertically,the upper section primarily exhibits organic-rich felsic shale and siltstone interlayers,the middle part is characterized by moderate organic quartz-feldspathic shale and siltstone/carbonate interlayers,and the lower section predominantly features organic-rich fissile felsic/clayey felsic shales.Analyzing various sublithofacies in relation to seven petrophysical parameters,oil test production,and fracturing operation conditions indicates that the organic-rich felsic shales in the upper section and the organic-rich/clayey felsic shales in the lower section possess superior physical properties and oil content,contributing to smoother fracturing operation and enhanced production,thus emerging as dominant sublithofacies.Conversely,thin interlayers such as siltstones and limestones,while producing oil,demonstrate higher brittleness and pose great fracturing operation challenges.The methodology and insights in this study will provide a valuable guide for sweet spot identification and horizontal well-based exploitation of the Gulong shale.

Enhancing Log Anomaly Detection with Semantic Embedding and Integrated Neural Network Innovations

System logs,serving as a pivotal data source for performance monitoring and anomaly detection,play an indispensable role in assuring service stability and reliability.Despite this,the majority of existing log-based anomaly detection methodologies predominantly depend on the sequence or quantity attributes of logs,utilizing solely a single Recurrent Neural Network(RNN)and its variant sequence models for detection.These approaches have not thoroughly exploited the semantic information embedded in logs,exhibit limited adaptability to novel logs,and a single model struggles to fully unearth the potential features within the log sequence.Addressing these challenges,this article proposes a hybrid architecture based on amultiscale convolutional neural network,efficient channel attention and mogrifier gated recurrent unit networks(LogCEM),which amalgamates multiple neural network technologies.Capitalizing on the superior performance of robustly optimized BERT approach(RoBERTa)in the realm of natural language processing,we employ RoBERTa to extract the original word vectors from each word in the log template.In conjunction with the enhanced Smooth Inverse Frequency(SIF)algorithm,we generate more precise log sentence vectors,thereby achieving an in-depth representation of log semantics.Subsequently,these log vector sequences are fed into a hybrid neural network,which fuses 1D Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Network(MSCNN),Efficient Channel Attention Mechanism(ECA),and Mogrifier Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU).This amalgamation enables themodel to concurrently capture the local and global dependencies of the log sequence and autonomously learn the significance of different log sequences,thereby markedly enhancing the efficacy of log anomaly detection.To validate the effectiveness of the LogCEM model,we conducted evaluations on two authoritative open-source datasets.The experimental results demonstrate that LogCEM not only exhibits excellent accuracy and robustness,but also outperforms the current mainstream log anomaly detection methods.

Well Logging Stratigraphic Correlation Algorithm Based on Semantic Segmentation

Well logging curves serve as indicators of strata attribute changes and are frequently utilized for stratigraphic analysis and comparison.Deep learning,known for its robust feature extraction capabilities,has seen continuous adoption by scholars in the realm of well logging stratigraphic correlation tasks.Nonetheless,current deep learning algorithms often struggle to accurately capture feature changes occurring at layer boundaries within the curves.Moreover,when faced with data imbalance issues,neural networks encounter challenges in accurately modeling the one-hot encoded curve stratification positions,resulting in significant deviations between predicted and actual stratification positions.Addressing these challenges,this study proposes a novel well logging curve stratigraphic comparison algorithm based on uniformly distributed soft labels.In the training phase,a label smoothing loss function is introduced to comprehensively account for the substantial loss stemming from data imbalance and to consider the similarity between diff erent layer data.Concurrently,spatial attention and channel attention mechanisms are incorporated into the shallow and deep encoder stages of U²-Net,respectively,to better focus on changes in stratification positions.During the prediction phase,an optimized confidence threshold algorithm is proposed to constrain stratification results and solve the problem of reduced prediction accuracy because of occasional layer repetition.The proposed method is applied to real-world well logging data in oil fields.Quantitative evaluation results demonstrate that within error ranges of 1,2,and 3 m,the accuracy of well logging curve stratigraphic division reaches 87.27%,92.68%,and 95.08%,respectively,thus validating the eff ectiveness of the algorithm presented in this paper.

Automatic depth matching method of well log based on deep reinforcement learning

In the traditional well log depth matching tasks,manual adjustments are required,which means significantly labor-intensive for multiple wells,leading to low work efficiency.This paper introduces a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning(MARL)method to automate the depth matching of multi-well logs.This method defines multiple top-down dual sliding windows based on the convolutional neural network(CNN)to extract and capture similar feature sequences on well logs,and it establishes an interaction mechanism between agents and the environment to control the depth matching process.Specifically,the agent selects an action to translate or scale the feature sequence based on the double deep Q-network(DDQN).Through the feedback of the reward signal,it evaluates the effectiveness of each action,aiming to obtain the optimal strategy and improve the accuracy of the matching task.Our experiments show that MARL can automatically perform depth matches for well-logs in multiple wells,and reduce manual intervention.In the application to the oil field,a comparative analysis of dynamic time warping(DTW),deep Q-learning network(DQN),and DDQN methods revealed that the DDQN algorithm,with its dual-network evaluation mechanism,significantly improves performance by identifying and aligning more details in the well log feature sequences,thus achieving higher depth matching accuracy.

A machine learning approach for the prediction of pore pressure using well log data of Hikurangi Tuaheni Zone of IODP Expedition 372,New Zealand

Pore pressure(PP)information plays an important role in analysing the geomechanical properties of the reservoir and hydrocarbon field development.PP prediction is an essential requirement to ensure safe drilling operations and it is a fundamental input for well design,and mud weight estimation for wellbore stability.However,the pore pressure trend prediction in complex geological provinces is challenging particularly at oceanic slope setting,where sedimentation rate is relatively high and PP can be driven by various complex geo-processes.To overcome these difficulties,an advanced machine learning(ML)tool is implemented in combination with empirical methods.The empirical method for PP prediction is comprised of data pre-processing and model establishment stage.Eaton's method and Porosity method have been used for PP calculation of the well U1517A located at Tuaheni Landslide Complex of Hikurangi Subduction zone of IODP expedition 372.Gamma-ray,sonic travel time,bulk density and sonic derived porosity are extracted from well log data for the theoretical framework construction.The normal compaction trend(NCT)curve analysis is used to check the optimum fitting of the low permeable zone data.The statistical analysis is done using the histogram analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient matrix with PP data series to identify potential input combinations for ML-based predictive model development.The dataset is prepared and divided into two parts:Training and Testing.The PP data and well log of borehole U1517A is pre-processed to scale in between[-1,+1]to fit into the input range of the non-linear activation/transfer function of the decision tree regression model.The Decision Tree Regression(DTR)algorithm is built and compared to the model performance to predict the PP and identify the overpressure zone in Hikurangi Tuaheni Zone of IODP Expedition 372.

Log interpretation of carbonate rocks based on petrophysical facies constraints

The complex pore structure of carbonate reservoirs hinders the correlation between porosity and permeability.In view of the sedimentation,diagenesis,testing,and production characteristics of carbonate reservoirs in the study area,combined with the current trends and advances in well log interpretation techniques for carbonate reservoirs,a log interpretation technology route of“geological information constraint+deep learning”was developed.The principal component analysis(PCA)was employed to establish lithology identification criteria with an accuracy of 91%.The Bayesian stepwise discriminant method was used to construct a sedimentary microfacies identification method with an accuracy of 90.5%.Based on production data,the main lithologies and sedimentary microfacies of effective reservoirs were determined,and 10 petrophysical facies with effective reservoir characteristics were identified.Constrained by petrophysical facies,the mean interpretation error of porosity compared to core analysis results is 2.7%,and the ratio of interpreted permeability to core analysis is within one order of magnitude,averaging 3.6.The research results demonstrate that deep learning algorithms can uncover the correlation in carbonate reservoir well logging data.Integrating geological and production data and selecting appropriate machine learning algorithms can significantly improve the accuracy of well log interpretation for carbonate reservoirs.

Integrated Geological and Geophysical Mapping for Groundwater Potential Studies at Ekwegbe-Agu and Environs, Enugu State, Nigeria

The study integrates both the geological and geophysical mapping techniques for groundwater potential studies at Ekwegbe-Agu and the environs, Enugu state, Nigeria for optimal citing of borehole. Located in the Anambra Basin between latitudes 6˚43'N and 6˚47'N and longitudes 7˚28'E and 7˚32'E, it is stratigraphycally underlain by, from bottom to top, the Enugu/Nkporo, Mamu and Ajali Formation respectively, a complex geology that make citing of productive borehole in the area problematic leading to borehole failure and dry holes due to inadequate sampling. The study adopted a field and analytic sampling approach, integrating field geological, electrical resistivity and self-potential methods. The software, SedLog v3.1, InterpexIx1Dv.3, and Surfer v10 were employed for the data integration and interpretation. The result of the geological field and borehole data shows 11 sedimentary facies consisting of sandstone, shales and heterolith of sandstone/shale, with the aquifer zone mostly prevalent in the more porous sand-dominated horizons. Mostly the AK and HK were the dominant curve types. An average of 6 geo-electric layers were delineated across all transects with resistivity values ranging from 25.42 - 105.85 Ωm, 186.38 - 3383.3 Ωm, and 2992 - 6286.4 Ωm in the Enugu, Mamu and Ajali Formations respectively. The resistivity of the main aquifer layer ranges from 1 to 500 Ωm. The aquifer thickness within the study area varies between 95 and 140 m. The western and northwestern part of the study area which is underlain mainly by the Ajali Formation showed the highest groundwater potential in the area and suitable for citing productive boreholes.

Facies logging identification of intermediate-basic volcanic rocks in Huoshiling Formation of Songliao Basin

Volcanic oil and gas reservoirs are generally buried deep,which leads to a high whole-well coring cost,and the degree of development and size of reservoirs are controlled by volcanic facies.Therefore,accurately identifying volcanic facies by logging curves not only provides the basis of volcanic reservoir prediction but also saves costs during exploration.The Songliao Basin is a‘fault-depression superimposed’composite basin with a typical binary filling structure.Abundant types of volcanic lithologies and facies are present in the Lishu fault depression.Volcanic activity is frequent during the sedimentary period of the Huoshiling Formation.Through systematic petrographic identification of the key exploratory well(SN165C)of the Lishu fault-depression,which is a whole-well core,it is found that the Huoshiling Formation in SN165C contains four facies and six subfacies,including the volcanic conduit facies(crypto explosive breccia subfacies),explosive facies(pyroclastic flow and thermal wave base subfacies),effusive facies(upper and lower subfacies),and volcanogenic sedimentary facies(pyroclastic sedimentary subfacies).Combining core,thin section,and logging data,the authors established identification markers and petrographic chart logging phases,and also interpreted the longitudinal variation in volcanic petro-graphic response characteristics to make the charts more applicable to this area's volcanic petrographic interpretation of the Huoshiling Formation.These charts can provide a basis for the further exploration and development of volcanic oil and gas in this area.

Forests promote the conservation of biodiversity and also play a crucial role in safeguarding theenvironment against erosion,landslides,and climate change.However,illegal logging remains a significant threatworldwide,necessitating the development of automatic logging detection systems in forests.This paper proposesthe use of long-range,low-powered,and smart Internet of Things(IoT)nodes to enhance forest monitoringcapabilities.The research framework involves developing IoT devices for forest sound classification andtransmitting each node’s status to a gateway at the forest base station,which further sends the obtained datathrough cellular connectivity to a cloud server.The key issues addressed in this work include sensor and boardselection,Machine Learning(ML)model development for audio classification,TinyML implementation on amicrocontroller,choice of communication protocol,gateway selection,and power consumption optimization.Unlike the existing solutions,the developed node prototype uses an array of two microphone sensors forredundancy,and an ensemble network consisting of Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)and ConvolutionalNeural Network(CNN)models for improved classification accuracy.The model outperforms LSTM and CNNmodels when used independently and also gave 88%accuracy after quantization.Notably,this solutiondemonstrates cost efficiency and high potential for scalability.
