Abstract
The average pore pressure during oil formation is an important parameter for measuring the energy required for the oil formation and the capacity of injection–production wells. In past studies, the average pore pressure has been derived mainly from pressure build-up test results. However, such tests are expensive and time-consuming. The surface displacement of an oilfield is the result of change in the formation pore pressure, but no method is available for calculating the formation pore pressure based on the surface displacement. Therefore, in this study, the vertical displacement of the Earth’s surface was used to calculate changes in reservoir pore pressure. We employed marker-stakes to measure ground displacement. We used an improved image-to-image convolutional neural network (CNN) that does not include pooling layers or full-connection layers and uses a new loss function. We used the forward evolution method to produce training samples with labels. The CNN completed self-training using these samples. Then, machine learning was used to invert the surface vertical displacement to change the pore pressure in the oil reservoir. The method was tested in a block of the Sazhong X development zone in the Daqing Oilfield in China. The results showed that the variation in the formation pore pressure was 83.12%, in accordance with the results of 20 groups of pressure build-up tests within the range of the marker-stake measurements. Thus, the proposed method is less expensive, and faster than existing methods.
