Lithologic Identification of Complex Reservoir Based on PSO-LSTM-FCN Algorithm

Abstract

Reservoir lithology identification is the basis for the exploration and development of complex lithological reservoirs. Efficient processing of well-logging data is the key to lithology identification. However, reservoir lithology identification through well-logging is still a challenge with conventional machine learning methods, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and Long Short-term Memory (LSTM). To address this issue, a fully connected network (FCN) and LSTM were coupled for predicting reservoir lithology. The proposed algorithm (LSTM-FCN) is composed of two sections. One section uses FCN to extract the spatial properties, the other one captures feature selections by LSTM. Well-logging data from Hugoton Field is used to evaluate the performance. In this study, well-logging data, including Gamma-ray (GR), Resistivity (ILD_log10), Neutron-density porosity difference (DeltaPHI), Average neutron-density porosity(PHIND), and (Photoelectric effect) PE, are used for training and identifying lithology. For comparison, seven conventional methods are also proposed and trained, such as support vector machines (SVM), and random forest classifiers (RFC). The accuracy results indicate that the proposed architecture obtains better performance. After that, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed to optimize hyper-parameters of LSTM-FCN. The investigation indicates the proposed PSO-LSTM-FCN model can enhance the performance of machine learning algorithms on identify the lithology of complex reservoirs.
