Abstract

In order to define a favorable oil and gas accumulation area, this study focused on reservoir recognition which is based on logging data of old wells. The Gaofengchang structure in eastern Sichuan is used as a test area to discuss the necessity and feasibility of curve construction by combining new and old wells. Analysis of the reasons for the inaccuracy of the traditional curve reconstruction method is also provided. Given the interdependence of the well log in the depth domain sample sequence, a new intelligent construction method (BI-LSTM) based on the cyclic neural network is proposed. A discussion on the effect of data increments on prediction accuracy is also provided. The following four conclusions were achieved through curve reconstruction experiments: a high-precision CNL pseudo-curve was obtained; an underdetermined equation in optimization logging interpretation method needed to be extended to a positive definite equation; the quantitative processing of the complex lithologic reservoir parameters for the old wells was realized; and the processing result of the lithology physical property were basically consistent with the core data. Therefore, the BI-LSTM proposed in this paper could improve the accuracy of logging curve construction and has a good promotion significance for the old well review.
