Application of Remote Sensing Intelligent Monitoring Technology for Oil and Gas Well Exit and Ecological Restoration

Green Sustainable Development of Oil and Gas Fields considers oil and gas exploration as well as environmental conservation. Currently, national ecological protection requires that oil and gas exploration wells be shut down and closed when they withdraw, and that oil and gas facilities be demolished to restore the surrounding geomorphology and ecology. As a result, the condition of ecological restoration of oil and gas sites withdrawal is an essential component to evaluate the ecological protection of oil and gas fields. In this article, multi-temporal high-resolution satellite remote sensing big data is employed to achieve intelligent monitoring and assessment of green recovery at oil and gas sites. The technical process of remote sensing intelligent monitoring of oil and gas well withdrawal and ecological restoration includes three steps: 1. Determine the different types of well sites. Identify well sites where oil and gas facilities depart using high-resolution remote sensing oil and gas well site interpretation markings; 2. Detect well site modification. 3. Evaluate well site recovery by using the GRNDVI vegetation growth index into the well site vegetation change over time. To evaluate well site recovery, set a threshold value based on change detection data. Using Dabusu in Jilin Oilfield and Liaohekou in Liaohe Oilfield as experimental areas, remote sensing monitoring results show that 18 well sites in Dabusu experimental region were withdrawn in 2019 and all achieved vegetation restoration; 15 well sites in Liaohekou experimental region were withdrawn from April to November 2018 to achieve natural restoration; and PetroChina has achieved results in ecological restoration of oil and gas well site withdrawal; remote sensing intelligent monitoring technology of oil and gas well site withdrawal and ecological restoration can realize large-scale and large-quantity well site withdrawal as well as efficient and accurate vegetation restoration monitoring. This technology ought to be used and popularized.

Research on Prediction of the Effects of Oil-Increasing Measures Driven by Data

A large number of major oil fields in China have entered the late stages of development, and the decreasing production is increasingly unable to meet the continuously growing demand for energy. Therefore, it is crucial for oilfield production to accurately and rapidly predict the effects of production-increasing measures based on existing data. This paper comprehensively considers three types of data: geological static parameters, production dynamic parameters, and process parameters of measures. Advanced machine learning algorithms such as random forest (RF), support vector regression (SVR), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) are separately used, together with data augmentation techniques and Bayesian optimization algorithms to construct the different enhancing production through measures prediction model. The best prediction model is optimized by comparing the scores of each model. The results of a comprehensive comparison of various models based on the mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), and coefficient of determination (R2) indicate that the model based on the extreme gradient boosting algorithm performs the best. The application of data augmentation and optimization algorithms significantly improves the model performance. The accuracy of predicting the oil production enhancement effect for a given measure can reach over 90%. Compared with traditional methods for predicting the effects of measures, this paper addresses the issues of long computational time in numerical simulations and difficulty in exploring the mechanism of oil production enhancement measures in depth, and achieves a rapid and accurate prediction of the multidimensional effect of measures for increasing oil production. This paper employs machine learning algorithms to fully explore the relationship between three types of data and oil production enhancement effects, accurately predicting the effect of measures for increasing oil production. It provides a technical foundation for selecting reasonable measures to increase oil production in oilfields and has certain guiding significance for actual production.

Research on Stability Evaluation and Adjustment Method of Concentrated Casing Damage Area Based on Gradient Lifting Algorithm

Casing damage is a common problem faced in the development of old oilfields. Some areas with weak mechanical properties of rock layers and other unfavorable factors are prone to severe casing damage, such as time of occurrence and plane distribution of casing damage wells. The stable state of damaged rock formations is a prerequisite for the implementation of workover and remaining oil tapping. Traditional stability evaluation of damaged areas often relies on qualitative analysis through well condition investigation and engineering logging, with incomplete considerations and a high rate of judgment errors, often leading to secondary concentrated casing damage after treatment. Therefore, based on the research and understanding of centralized casing damage mechanism, taking into account the changes in casing damage situation and the control of inducing factors, 9 indicators are selected to establish an evaluation index system for stability of casing damage areas. Gradient lifting algorithm is applied to achieve quantitative grading evaluation of the stability, with a verification compliance rate of 83.3%; meanwhile, classified adjustment measures are implemented to overcome unstable aspects, shorten the adjustment cycle, determine the timing of overall governance as soon as possible, and ensure the oil recovery of casing damage areas. This method was applied in the X67 casing damage area, guiding the implementation of various stability control workloads for 49 wells, and effectively improving the stability of the casing damage area.

The objective of this study is to analyze dominant controlling factors of the EUR of shale gas wells and then to forecast the EUR precisely by employing knowledge graph and automated machine learning techniques. First, an ontology knowledge representation model and a set of classification system for shale gas production are constructed, which include 13 shale gas objects such as basin, shale gas play, shale gas field, shale gas reservoir, and shale gas well, and their 112 geological, engineering and production parameters, such as mineral brittleness, fracturing section length, sanding intensity, and first-year production, and so on. Subsequently, structured data from existing databases are transformed, and loaded into the knowledge base. Large amount of unstructured data from papers, presentations, professional books are extracted and loaded by using various natural language processing (NLP) tools. The final shale gas knowledge base contains 56 shale gas plays and more than 1,000 shale gas wells worldwide. Based on the shale gas knowledge base, the graph embedding algorithm is used to convert the graph into a vector in order to train the machine learning models. Various automated machine learning frameworks such as TPOT, H2O, Auto-Sklearn, and AutoGluon are implemented and the performances are compared. According to the model with best performance, the main controlling factors of the EUR of shale gas wells are high-quality bed thickness, fracturing section length, and fracturing fluid volume, etc., which are consistent with shale gas production practices. The MSE and MAE of the best model on the testing dataset are 0.06 and 0.19, respectively. The approach of knowledge base construction and application developed in this paper can be extended to the entire life cycle of E&P process, which can make full use of various documents, data and knowledge accumulated in the oil and gas industry to conduct decision support.

Optimization of Data Insight Tool Based on Engineering Technology Data Governance Project in Ultra-deep Oil & Gas Fields

Based on the engineering technology data in the ultra-deep oil & gas fields, this paper utilizes data insight tool to identify and extract information from various types of data stored in documents with text or tables, which meets the needs of data governance project. If the document information is about text content, the natural language processing (NLP) method is directly selected for recognition; If the document information is a table, it is necessary to convert the table into a heterogeneous data table with Date-Frame format first by Python language, and then recognize and extract it. These two processing methods can successfully convert unstructured data to structured data, solving the problem of low accuracy and low timeliness of extracting information from different documents. The NumPy & Pandas learning with Python language and other algorithms/functions play an important role in building metadata models, labeling fields, and training backend algorithms of data insight tool structure. The target trained extraction model is very crucial to the identification and extraction of various information. Relying on this and later, the qualified data generated after steps of extraction of target documents, selection of matching data for review and multi-level audit evaluation will be marked with “EDG”, which is the main data source of various professional databases of Tari Oilfield and the guarantee of the capacity and quality of the data lake. Examples show that the data insight tool has strong adaptability, obvious optimization effects, and superior performance compared to other extraction tools. The development and application of data insight tool have significantly improved the identification and extraction ability for engineering data of ultra-deep oil & gas fields, improved the identification accuracy and extraction speed, and met the needs of data governance.

Intelligent Evaluation Method of Cement Bond Quality Based on Convolutional Neural Network

The quality of cement bond is related to the safety of oil and gas well production and the service life of casing. At present, acoustic variable density logging (VDL) is the most widely used method for evaluating cementing quality in oil fields. The data interpretation of VDL still needs to rely on manpower, and the accuracy of interpretation results is restricted by human factors, and the workload is heavy. Oilfields have accumulated a large number of practically verified VDL interpretation results. It is of great research value and application potential to sort out these historical data and mine them with the help of deep learning technology, and establish an intelligent analysis method instead of humans to explain the cementing quality. In this study, the VDL cementing quality evaluation reports of several oil wells were collected. Through data preprocessing, the acoustic variable density images were standardized and segmented along the borehole direction. The cementation conditions of the first interface and the second interface corresponding to each segment of the acoustic variable density image were marked, and a sample set for cement bond quality evaluation was established. The cementing quality evaluation problem is transformed into an image classification problem, and the convolutional neural network method is introduced. On the basis of LeNet5, AlexNet and other classic image recognition architectures, considering the characteristics of acoustic variable density images, a personalized convolutional neural network (CBQNet) for cementing quality evaluation is designed, including 28 layers and more than 32 million learnable parameters. Using historical cementing quality evaluation samples to train and analyze the performance of convolutional neural network, the results show that: CBQNet has a training accuracy rate of 95.9% and a verification accuracy rate of 95.4% in the first interface cementing quality evaluation. In the cementing quality evaluation of the second interface, the training accuracy rate reached 90.8%, and the verification accuracy rate reached 88.1%. It shows that the convolutional neural network realizes efficient and accurate interpretation of cementing quality by mining and learning the interpretation results of historical VDL data, and provides a new method for cementing quality evaluation.

China is rich in tight oil resources, with a wide distribution range and a large amount of resources, making it one of the key areas for strategic replacement of future oil reserves and production. In response to issues such as strong heterogeneity of terrestrial tight oil reservoirs, difficulty in drilling high-quality oil layers, large production differences, and unclear main control factors for production capacity, a detailed analysis of dynamic and static data of production wells was conducted to analyze production performance and decline patterns. Production wells were classified according to production characteristics, and development indicators at different stages were statistically analyzed based on actual production days. Using a combination of principal component analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient, based on multiple dynamic and static data such as geological factors, fracturing factors, and development factors, and analyzing the correlation between different single and combined factors and cumulative oil production at different stages, the main control factors for different production stages of tight oil were obtained. A production capacity prediction model for tight oil fracturing horizontal wells was established based on machine learning intelligent algorithms, A production capacity evaluation and prediction technology for tight oil fracturing horizontal wells has been developed. By comparing with actual production data, the accuracy of the predicted results can meet production needs, providing a strong technical foundation for precise prediction and guidance of tight oil production in China.

Uncertainties in the characterization of new-found, ultra-deep, thin and low porosity Permian gas reservoir reduce feasibility for development index (DI) prediction through reservoir simulation. DI prediction with big data analysis approach are studied. Geology and production data from 30 mature gas fields are reviewed and 13 parameters are selected to represent geological features, deliverability and DI of individual reservoir. Based on the BP neural network algorithm, proxy models are established to correlate DI with geology and deliverability data, and the bagging method is used to effectively improve the experimental accuracy and stability while avoiding over-fitting phenomenon in the case of limited sample data. The coefficient of determination coefficient (R2) are selected to evaluate the prediction effect of DI. The mean value of the prediction results of the model with higher R2 value in 2000 numerical experiments was selected as the final prediction result. With the established proxy model, DI for QX reservoir in Permian formation are predicted and the influence of heterogeneity are also evaluated.

Calibration Technology and Application of Mud Logging Sensors Based on Artificial Intelligence

Mud logging serves as the “eyes” of exploration and development, acting as a counselor for drilling safety, the center of information transmission, and holding the first-hand data on oil and gas exploration and development. With the rapid development of informatization, digitization, intelligence, and remote support systems, the demand for high-quality mud logging data has continuously risen, where sensor calibration and calibration technology serve as the foundation for ensuring accuracy and reliability. This paper proposes an artificial intelligence-based comprehensive mud logging instrument sensor calibration and calibration technology, targeting the issues of prolonged service life, low precision, and low inspection rate of traditional mud logging instruments. The technology primarily involves collecting and pre-processing sensor output data such as filtering, sampling to eliminate noise, and improve the dataset's quality. Mathematical models of sensors were constructed using machine learning or deep learning algorithms to analyze the relationship between sensor outputs and actual values, which could also compute sensor errors and uncertainties. Algorithm optimization methods such as wavelet transform and adaptive filtering were used to process and analyze sensor data for different types of sensors and environmental conditions. The adaptive control algorithm was then utilized based on the predicted model results and actual measurement results to calibrate the sensor, ultimately helping to avoid errors and uncertainty in the traditional manual calibration process. Experimental results show that this technology has higher accuracy and reliability than traditional calibration techniques while maintaining simple operation, fast speed, and cost-effectiveness. This technology improves the level of detection and evaluation technology of comprehensive mud logging instruments, Standardizes mud logging equipment management, and plays an essential role in timely discovering, evaluating oil and gas layers, and optimizing drilling construction safety.

Sensitivity Analysis of Influencing Factors of Production for Fractured Horizontal Wells in Shale Reservoir

Major productivity breakthroughs have been achieved in key production layers of Jiyang shale, such as lower Es3 and upper Es4 producing layer of Shahejie Formation, and remarkable development have been gained. However, it is also limited by short production time, large production difference of single well, and unclear of production influencing factors. Comprehensive analysis of the main controlling factors of production for horizontal shale oil wells has become the research focuses. Field production data was taken to clarify the influence of various factors on the production of horizontal wells. Grep correlation analysis and principal component analysis were used to quantitatively analyze the sensitivity of 90-day average oil production, 180-day average oil production, and 270-day average oil production to the influencing factors, such as the amount of fluid used and the sand added. Research indicates that the amount of fluid used, the amount of sand added and the number of fracture events are the main engineering parameters affecting the production, while the content of gray matter, TOC and shale porosity are the main geological parameters affecting the production. The influence of geological factors on production gradually increase, while that of engineering factors on the production is gradually weakened in the late flowing production stag. The main controlling factors and variation rules of the production are preliminarily identified, which could provide guidance for the deployment of shale oil wells and fracturing design.

Research and Practice of Digital Three-Phase Flowmeter for Complex Oil and Gas Occasion

In the development of oil and gas fields, the accurate measurement of oil, gas and water production rate is the basis for calculating the key parameters such as water cut (WCT) and gas-oil ratio (GOR), as well as the important basis for formulating the stimulation measures and field development plans. The traditional surface flowing test is mainly carried out with the help of three-phase Separator or multiple phase flowmeters (MPFM), which is not only complicated operation process and long operating duration time, but also cannot be implemented for environmental protection reasons in some special location. In recent years, with the acceleration of digital oilfield transformation, many wellhead digital multi-phase flowmeters have appeared in the market. However, due to the interference of flow rate, high water cut, high gas content and other factors, the measurement accuracy of most three-phase flowmeters in the market is not good enough, which cannot meet the actual requirement of the customers. In view of the above problems, the design and development of a new on-line three-phase flowmeter is carried out, and the hardware and software system of the flowmeter is upgraded with an iterative and innovative method. Through large-scale field pilot tests to evaluate the performance of equipment, find out the problems during the testing process, and continuously improve the hardware design, software function and core model of the product, so that the instrument can detect the gas and liquid production rate online in real time, and realize real-time data collection and communication through the deep integration with the Internet of Things technology. Present the data to the user in a visual manner in the same time, thus, the whole field data sharing can be realized. The product was put on line in a domestic oilfield after pilot test. The application results show that the product has high stability and the ability to work under complex conditions, and can meet the needs of flow measurement under high GOR and high water cut in the oilfield, and has the feasibility to widely expand the application in domestic and foreign oil fields.

Hybrid Model Based on Attention Mechanism for Production Prediction of Sucker Rod Well

In oilfield production, the liquid production is an important indicator for measuring the production capacity of sucker rod wells and determining reasonable production parameters. Therefore, accurate metering of liquid production in sucker rod wells holds significant importance for oilfield automation production management. This paper proposed a physical-data hybrid-driven liquid production prediction method based on the attention mechanism to improve the accuracy of sucker rod well production metering. First, a physical-driven model for measuring liquid production based on the sucker rod well dynamometer cards is established, which ensures the rationality and interpretability of predicting liquid production. Then, a ResNet-based data-driven model is established to uncover the hidden features in downhole pump dynamometer cards and oil well production data. Finally, an attention mechanism is employed to couple the physical-driven and data-driven models, facilitating the identification of crucial features for liquid production prediction. The proposed method was tested on actual production data, and the average accuracy rate reached 95.67%, which was at least 2.43% higher than other best benchmark models for production prediction, and demonstrating good prediction accuracy and stability in special operating conditions. This approach successfully fuses the physical analytical model and data mining model of sucker rod wells, ultimately enhancing the interpretability and reliability of the model, thereby promoting efficient production management in oilfields.

Study of Spatial Feature Extraction Methods for Surrogate Models of Numerical Reservoir Simulation

Numerical reservoir simulation is an important technology in reservoir production development, but the computational consumption of numerical simulation is a key factor affecting reservoir history matching, production prediction, and optimization. By constructing a computationally fast machine learning model to learn the mapping relationship between reservoir model parameters and production data, a maximum alternative to the numerical simulation process can be achieved to improve the efficiency of reservoir management and decision making. The current surrogate models of reservoir numerical simulation for large spatial variables, including permeability and porosity fields, often extract spatial features by convolutional neural networks and later use recurrent neural networks to learn the time-series relationships of production data. In this work, we study the method using convolutional neural networks to extract spatial parameters of reservoir models and propose a new module to convert the temporal and spatial features of surrogate models. By converting the spatial features extracted by convolution and adapting the input features and dimensions of the recurrent neural network, maximum extraction of spatial feature parameters is achieved. The proposed method was verified on a 3D reservoir model, and the results indicate that the method can enhance the accuracy of the surrogate model.

Analysis and Recommendation of Frequent Patterns of Long-Life Pumping Wells Based on Data Mining

The theoretical regulation of production parameters in oil production engineering plays a significant role in the management of beam pumps. However, it falls short in identifying the inherent relationships among historical production data, thus failing to address the problem at its core. Valuable information can be extracted from historical well experiences through data mining techniques, offering new insights for adjusting production measures. To achieve this objective, an analysis is conducted to explore the factors and patterns influencing the exemption period of oil wells. Various methods, including expert experience and correlation analysis, are employed to process and selectively identify relevant features. Drawing upon the principles of oil production engineering and leveraging advanced big data processing techniques, these features are encoded to construct a comprehensive sample set that represents long-life wells. Subsequently, association rule mining is applied to uncover frequent patterns exhibited by these long-life wells. By setting a minimum support threshold of 0.01, the mining process encompasses a substantial dataset comprising over 1700 wells, leading to the discovery of more than 100 meaningful association rules. These rules are further prioritized and visualized based on their lift values, providing valuable insights into the experiential knowledge base related to effective measures for long-life well patterns. Consequently, this knowledge base becomes an invaluable asset, offering support for informed decision-making in terms of production parameter control and aiding in the development of scientifically guided production strategies.

Rates Optimization of CO2 Huff and Puff in Multi-stage Fracturing Horizontal Wells Based on Proximal Policy Optimization Algorithm

CO2 huff and puff is an important replacement method for the subsequent improvement of oil recovery after the elastic development of multi-stage fracturing horizontal wells in tight reservoirs. The rates optimization of huff and puff injection and production has the advantages of low cost, easy implementation, and obvious effects. At present, the rates optimization method of huff and puff injection and production is insufficient, and the interference between different huff and puff cycles and different stages were not fully considered. This paper established a CO2 huff and puff injection and production rates optimization method for multi-stage fractured horizontal wells based on the proximal policy optimization algorithm. We took the net present value as the optimization objective and huff and puff injection and production rates parameters as the optimization variables. The new method realized dynamic injection and production rates optimization with different huff and puff cycles and variable injection and production speed and variable injection and production duration, and considered the interference between various stages. The rates optimization results of CO2 huff and puff in multi-stage fracturing horizontal wells indicate that the optimal project extends the backflow time by reducing the backflow rate, fully improving the utilization degree of the backflow stage. At the same time, improving the efficiency of CO2 injection and reducing the number of cycles significantly reduce gas injection costs, achieving optimal economic benefits and providing guidance for on-site actual CO2 huff and puff injection and production rates optimization.

Hybrid Q&A Method for Knowledge Graph and Documents of Global Petroliferous Basins

The massive data and information in the petroliferous basins formed by exploration and development are extremely valuable. Thus, they need to be deeply mined and utilized by new technologies to provide data support and decision basis for exploration and development. The knowledge graph can well integrate the knowledge contained in these data and documents. However, its concept and relationship rely on manual construction, which results in its limited coverage of knowledge areas. The traditional question-and-answer (Q&A) method can get relevant answers from documents according to questions, which has the characteristics of wide knowledge coverage. Nevertheless, it is difficult to understand the contents of professional fields, which leads to its low accuracy in petroliferous basins. In order to address the above problems, this paper proposes a hybrid Q&A method for merging the knowledge graph and documents in petroliferous basins. The method takes the knowledge graph of petroliferous basins as the knowledge base of professional background. Additionally, it obtains professional-related knowledge contents from documents. In particular, to answer the question on petroliferous basins, the method firstly extracts entities from the question according to the knowledge graph. Then, with these entities, the method converts the question into a query in the knowledge graph, obtaining partial candidate answers to the question. For obtaining candidate answers from documents, the method constructs a deep semantic matching model which incorporates knowledge graph embedding. The model can match the question and answers in documents base on the information from the knowledge graph. Finally, the method leverages a sort algorithm to reorder the above two types of candidate answers from the knowledge graph and documents respectively. Compared with traditional Q&A methods, the hybrid Q&A method supports professional Q&A scenarios for the knowledge graph and documents of petroliferous basins, improving the efficiency of users’ knowledge query and increasing the recall rate while ensuring the retrieval accuracy. The hybrid Q&A method has the characteristics of convenient operation, strong interaction and high accuracy, etc., which provides a platform on knowledge deep sharing and application for the study of petroliferous basins.

Deep Learning Inversion of Electromagnetic Detection Data for Macroscopic Fractures in Croswell

The correct identification of reservoir fractures is of great practical significance for accurately evaluating the oil and gas reserves of reservoirs and the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing, especially for macroscopic fractures between wells with an aperture greater than 1cm, which are often the culprit of hydraulic fracturing failure. However, traditional reservoir fracture identification methods face difficulties in feature extraction and illposedness in inversion problems, making it difficult to ensure the accuracy of results. Regression prediction models based on convolutional neural networks have powerful nonlinear data mapping capabilities and can replace traditional geophysical inversion calculations. To address the issue that traditional convolutional neural networks can only handle scalar data while the actual electromagnetic field data is vector valued, this paper proposes a macroscopic fracture identification method for inter-well reservoirs based on complex-valued convolutional neural networks. By using the real and imaginary parts or amplitude and phase data of the observed field as the input to the complex-valued convolutional neural network, the information input to the network is increased, enabling the network to extract more target features and improve the identification ability of reservoir fractures. Through comparative experi-ments based on amplitude scalar data and complex-valued convolutional neural networks, the results demonstrate that the electromagnetic detection data inversion for fracture identification based on complex-valued convolutional neural networks has higher resolution and provides a new approach for the accurate identification of macroscopic fractures in inter-well reservoirs.

Comprehensive Management and Application for Big Data of Pre-stack Seismic Data

As the revitalization and development of Daqing oilfield has entered a new stage, new requirements have been put forward for the large-scale processing of massive seismic data, and the seismic data processing has entered the era of basin-level massive pre-stack data. The quality of massive pre-stack seismic data is closely related to the quality of migration imaging, which greatly affects the optimization of trap target, well position deployment and adjustment of engineering scheme. Therefore, the comprehensive treatment of massive prestack seismic data is of great significance to the high-quality development of oilfield exploration and development. Due to issues such as missing data header information, non-standard archive content, difficulty in data back-tracking, unsynchronized data structure and document storage, the quality of pre-stack seismic data is affected to varying degrees, unable to meet the needs of high-quality, efficient, and full lifecycle exploration and development. Professional big-data comprehensive management means are needed. Through continuous exploration and practice, a “Five Refined Quality Control” has been established for pre-stack big-data management methods, which includes institutionalized modes, quality control processes, evaluation forms, software standardization, and management informatization, achieving standardized management and standardized governance of pre-stack seismic data. The method is applied to massive seismic pre-stack data, and established a pre-stack middle results database for the entire exploration area of Daqing. In the continuous processing task of tract 24 in the Gulong area of the Songliao Basin, high-quality middle results data were used to shorten the 26 month continuous processing cycle to 9 months, greatly improving the seismic processing efficiency and achieving significant promotion and application results.

Oriented Oilfield Structured Data Quality Assessment Model

Since the utilization of data analytics in oil field industry, data mining has become increasingly important. Various decision-making algorithms derived from data are closely related to the quality of data, which makes data quality assessment an indispensable part of the intelligent construction of oilfield. General data quality assessment models are not suitable for centralized oilfield scenarios because the quality of datasets depends on their usage rather than a simple stacking of individual data units. For example, datasets containing data units with good quality yet serious homogeneity cannot meet the data requirements in deep learning. This paper is based on the theoretical model of process measurement and adopts the second-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model. We calculate the member-ship degree of each factor set based on the business demand by the AHP. The oriented oilfield structured data quality assessment model is then established. This model provides theoretical basis and technical support for oilfield data preprocessing, decision-making and staged evaluation of data governance.

Research on Automatic Classification of Premium Threaded Connections Make-Up Torque Curve Based on CNNs with Data Augmentation

Leakage of premium thread connections tubing is the main reason for annulus pressure and affecting well integrity level. At present, helium gas seal detection and manual monitoring of make-up torque curve are mainly used to ensure the integrity of gas seal of well string. However, the helium seal detection environment is static detection, which fails to describe the air tightness of the tubing under complex downhole load; The manual monitoring of the make-up torque curve depends on the field engineer with certain experience to check the standard curve one by one. The results are greatly affected by subjective factors, so it is difficult to unify the measurement standard. Therefore, a machine learning method based on convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to automatically identify and classify the makeup torque curve of special threaded tubing. In order to achieve this goal, firstly, according to the failure of gas seal detection, manufacturer's manual and field experience, the categories of makeup torque curve are divided, including typical curve, acceptable curve and unacceptable curve. Secondly, in order to improve the model training accuracy and further improve the prediction results, the data expansion technology is used to expand the training database. Finally, the multilayer convolutional neural network model is built and trained and verified based on the data. In the model verification stage, four comprehensive evaluation methods are used: typical rate (TR), acceptable rate (AR), unacceptable rate (UR) and accuracy (P). The proposed CNNs model is evaluated accurately and compared with state-of-art machine learning algorithms such as SVM and logistic regression.

Soft Actor-Critic Based Deep Reinforcement Learning Method for Production Optimization

Production optimization is a crucial technology for efficient development of water-driven reservoirs. By adjusting the injection and production rate of oil and water wells in a reservoir block, the optimal production solution can be provided for the field to maximize the economic benefits while minimizing the costs. In this paper, a soft actor-critic (SAC) based reinforcement learning offline production optimization method are proposed, which models the production optimization problem as a Markov sequence decision process. Specifically, the deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agents aimed at maximizing the economic efficiency. The agent updated the policy model incrementally using the data obtained by interactive sampling with the environment to accelerate the convergence of the optimization process. In addition, to achieve offline optimization, a state transfer model is constructed that captures the dynamics of the reservoir under time-varying well control conditions using historical regulation experience. In the offline deployment stage of the cloud platform, the trained policy network and state transition network are utilized. In this way, the well control scheme for multiple future time steps can be calculated using only the current state of the reservoir. Reservoir instances show that this method is highly efficient and can provide optimized solutions within seconds, and the optimization performance is also remarkable. With the good effect of water control and oil increment, the target model can achieve higher net present value (NPV). The proposed offline method, which embedding control strategies into the model and utilizing a state transition model to capture the dynamics of the system, offers a novel approach to intelligent production optimization. By enabling offline optimization deployment on a cloud platform, this approach provides a practical solution to meet the demand for intelligent oilfield construction.

Research on Determination Method of Oil Viscosity Based on Component Data and Machine Learning Algorithm

Under certain conditions, when crude oil is moved by external forces, the property of internal friction generated between crude oil molecules is called crude oil viscosity. The viscosity of crude oil reflects its complex seepage state in porous media. Underground crude oil with high viscosity, always has great flow resistance in porous media, thus the flowing becomes more difficult. Oil viscosity is an indispensable key parameter in the process of dynamic analysis, reservoir engineering calculation and reservoir numerical simulation, which has critical influence on the field of well production or crude oil storage and transportation. Due to different oil viscosity, recovery approach of oil reservoirs, technical measures for storage and transportation, and the quality of oil products will be affected. The composition of crude oil is complicated, but it is mainly composed of carbon and hydrogen elements. The composition has a crucial effect on oil viscosity. Therefore, according to composition data of the actual oil sample, the determination dataset of oil viscosity is constructed together with other key parameters that affect the viscosity of crude oil within the reservoirs. Based on various machine learning algorithms, like extremely randomized trees and XGBoost, determination methods of oil viscosity based on component data and machine learning algorithms are established. In the construction process of computational model of oil viscosity, whole dataset is parted to the training dataset and the testing dataset in the ratio of 8:2. The training dataset is mainly used to determine the best hyper-parameter combination of machine learning algorithm, while the testing dataset is used to determine the accuracy and adaptability of the corresponding method. Compared with methods such as experimental method and empirical formula method, the determination method of oil viscosity based on component data and machine learning algorithm does not require extra experimental costs and has a considerable degree of accuracy. Once the relevant input parameters are determined, the viscosity determination of multiple groups of oil samples could be completed quickly and accurately.

A Method for Automatic Identification of Natural Fracture Based on Machine Learning: A Case Study on the Dahebian Block of the Liupanshui Basin in Guizhou Province

Natural fractures are effective storage spaces and important seepage channels for oil and gas reservoirs. Accurately identifying natural fractures in reservoirs is crucial for the exploration and development of oil and gas resources. This article combines conventional and imaging logging data and uses machine learning to automatically identify natural fractures in reservoirs. The fracture labels of conventional logging come from imaging logging. Conventional logging data is decomposed through multi-scale wavelet to extract components that reflect fracture information, and further build the original data set. The AdaBoost model is trained based on a modified dataset of balanced samples for automatic fractures recognition in logging. The research results indicate that the approximate component and high-frequency component reflect the fluctuation of the formation and noise information respectively, and have little impact on the reservoir fractures identification; The medium frequency component can reflect the characteristic information of fractures and can be used for model training; After hyper-parameter optimization, the AdaBoost model has high accuracy and generalization ability, and can still accurately identify the types and distribution of natural fractures from the actual unbalanced logging data. This research has important guiding significance for the accurate characterization and construction of reservoir.

An Attention-Based Temporal and Spatial Convolution Recursive Neural Network for Surrogate Modeling of the Production Curve Prediction

Reservoir numerical simulation is a time-consuming and expensive procedure, especially for production optimization and history matching, which requires multiple calls to the reservoir numerical simulator. The surrogate model based on deep learning can provide a proxy solution to the process of calculating the production curve by the numerical reservoir simulator with approximate accuracy and higher computational efficiency, while an attention mechanism can better capture the local time characteristics of production time series. The attention mechanism is introduced based on deep CNN and LSTM to build an attention-based temporal and spatial convolution recursive neural network for surrogate modeling which is capable of extracting spatial features of reservoir static parameters and handling temporal data, and establishing an image-sequence mapping relationship from reservoir static parameters to reservoir production curve which is used to predict the reservoir production curve.

Production Optimization of Chemical Flooding Based on Reservoir Engineering Method

Production optimization is an important way to improve technical and economic benefits in the process of reservoir development. Generally, most production optimization problems of chemical flooding are solved separately using mathematical algorithms, which limits optimization efficiency. This paper introduces the prior scheme obtained from reservoir engineering method into the optimization mathematical model to improve the efficiency of production optimization problems of chemical flooding. Firstly, the reservoir numerical simulation model and optimization mathematical model for chemical flooding are established. Secondly, the injection and production allocations are carried out through statistical analysis of the present development performance of reservoir, and a prior scheme based on reservoir engineering method is obtained. Finally, the prior scheme is used as the initial scheme for optimization. The optimization mathematical model takes net present value as the objective function, and the injection-production volume and chemical agent concentration as the optimization variables. The solving algorithm adopts particle swarm optimization. It can be seen from the results that the net present value of the uniform scheme is 0.761 × 108 RMB while 0.963 × 108 RMB for the prior scheme, which has an increase of 26.54%. Moreover, the conventional method converges to 1.317 × 108 RMB after 22 iterations, while the proposed method converges to 1.328 × 108 RMB after 11 iterations. The proposed method reduces calculation amount by 50% with satisfactory accuracy. Therefore, the proposed method using the prior scheme obtained from reservoir engineering method as the initial scheme achieves better optimization performance than conventional method. This method achieves the combination of mathematical theory and engineering experience, and providing an effective way to reduce calculation costs and increase efficiency for solving reservoir optimization production problems.

Well Clustering and Reservoir Segmentation Based on Machine Learning Analysis to the Extracted Features from Multiple Well Logs

In conventional reservoir modeling, the well log curve shape information is usually lost when it is up-scaled. In this study, we implemented machine learning method to capture the well log curve shape information of each well and clustering those wells in target spatial domain. One state-of-art machine learning algorithm used in most of time series classification area is implemented for feature extraction. All the wells are grouped into different groups according to the similarity of extracted features from multiple log curves. The final spatial reservoir segmentation is obtained through spatial interpolation from the clustered well groups. The results of the 2D spatial map provides valuable insights to the depositional background analysis through providing the lateral geological heterogeneity features. One small synthetic data set is used in case study to illustrate this method as an effective way to characterize the spatial heterogeneity. As illustrated in the case study, the proposed spatial segmentation technique can be used as a fast geological modelling method to integrate geological heterogeneity features embedded in multiple well logs.
