Abstract

A growing number of large data sets have created challenges for the oil and gas industry in predicting reservoir parameters and assessing well productivity through efficient and cost-effective techniques. The design of drilling plans for a high-pressure tight-sand reservoir requires accurate estimations of pore pressure (Pp) and reservoir parameters. The objective of this study is to predict and compare the Pp of Huizhou Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, China, using conventional techniques and machine learning (ML) algorithms. We investigated the characteristics of low-permeability reservoirs by observing well-logging data sets and cores and examining thin sections under a microscope. In the reservoir zone, the average hydrocarbon saturation is 55%, and the average effective porosity is 11%. The tight sandstone reservoirs consist of fine- to extremely fine-grained argillaceous feldspathic sandstone. The mean absolute error for reservoir property prediction is 1.3%, 2.2%, and 4.8%, respectively, for effective porosity, shale volume, and water saturation. Moreover, the ML algorithm was employed to cross-check the validity of the prediction of Pp. Combining conventional and ML techniques with the core data demonstrates a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9587, indicating that ML techniques are the most effective in testing well data. This study shows that ML can effectively predict Pp at subsequent depths in adjacent geologically similar locations. Compared to conventional methods, a substantial data set and ML algorithms improve the precision of Pp predictions.
