Seismic Waveform-Constrained Artificial Intelligence High-Resolution Reservoir Inversion Technology
In response to the technical challenges of traditional reservoir inversion techniques in determining inter-well wavelets and estimating geological statistical parameters, this study proposes an artificial intelligence high-resolution reservoir inversion technique based on seismic waveform constraints. This technology integrates multi-source heterogeneous data such as lithology characteristics, logging curves, and seismic waveforms through a deep learning neural network framework, and constructs an intelligent reservoir prediction model with geological and physical constraints. Results demonstrate that the proposed technique significantly enhances prediction accuracy for thin sand layers by effectively extracting high-frequency seismic information and establishing robust nonlinear mapping relationships. Inversion errors of reservoir parameters were reduced by more than 25%, while a vertical resolution of 0.5 m was achieved. Predictions agreed with actual drilling data with an accuracy of 86%, representing an 18% improvement over traditional methods. In practical applications, the technique successfully supported new well placement, contributing to a 22% increase in initial oil production in the pilot area. Furthermore, this study establishes a standardized technical procedure: “Time–Depth Modeling-Phase-Controlled Interpolation-Intelligent Inversion”. This workflow provides an innovative solution for high-precision reservoir characterization in regions with limited well control and complex terrestrial depositional systems, offering both theoretical significance and practical value for advancing reservoir prediction technology.
