Logging Identification Method for Reservoir Facies in Fractured-Vuggy Dolomite Reservoirs Based on AI: A Case Study of Ediacaran Dengying Formation, Sichuan Basin, China

As an important target for deep to ultra-deep carbonate oil and gas exploration, Fractured-Vuggy dolomite reservoirs have strong heterogeneity. Accurate characterization of reservoir facies is crucial for their exploration and exploitation. Three methods, including the unsupervised intelligent clustering method of improved Fuzzy C-means clustering Algorithm Based on Density Sensitive Distance and Fuzzy Partrition (FCM-DSDFP), the fusion method of Principal Components Analysis (PCA) dimensionality reduction and noise reduction, and the principle of clustering feature analysis are applied to identify reservoir facies based on logging data. Based on the PCA method, the logging response characteristics of the reservoir facies are excavated, and the fusion characterization data of dimensionality reduction and noise reduction are extracted. The FCM-DSDFP unsupervised intelligent clustering method, a model that approximates the subsurface conditions is established, and the reliability of the model is tested according to the elbow rule and silhouette coefficient. Combining drilling core observation, Fractured-Vuggy type, partially cemented Fractured-Vuggy type, Pore-Vuggy type, Pore Type I, Pore Type II, Tight Type I, and Tight Type II are divided in the Dengying Formation 4th Member. Fractured-Vuggy type, partially cemented Fractured-Vuggy type, Pore-Vuggy Type I, Pore-Vuggy Type II, Pore Type I, Pore Type II, and Tight Type are divided in the Dengying Formation 2nd Member, respectively. Two methods were applied to verify the reservoir facies identification results based on intelligent algorithms. The first method is to compare the identification results with the reservoir facies types identified by core observations (Well PT103 and PS13). The second method is to verify the recognition results of intelligent algorithms by utilizing the relationship between reservoir facies types and bitumen. The test results show that the accuracy of the reservoir level identification is higher than 0.9, and the applicability is better than the commonly used algorithms such as FCM and K-means.
