Accurate identification of low-resistivity gas layer in tight sandstone gas reservoirs based on optimizable neural networks

In tight sandstone reservoirs, low resistivity gas reservoirs have a certain gas production capacity, but their reservoir resistivity value is less than 20 Omega m, or their ratio to water layer resistivity is less than 2. Therefore, the identification of low resistivity gas reservoirs is a prominent problem that needs to be resolved. In this paper, on the basis of traditional experimental analysis, NMR experiments and wettability experiments were conducted. The high bound water saturation and pore fractal dimension have a significant impact on reservoir resistivity. After various experimental analysis results were preprocessed by the image pool and data pool, an optimized neural network (ONN) classification model was established based on deep learning theory. The confusion matrix result (training datasets) was 87.13%, and the ROC area of low resistivity gas layers was close to 1, indicating good recognition performance for low resistivity gas layers. The model was used to identify the properties of the J4 well reservoir section. The identification result was consistent with the actual logging resistivity values (low resistivity) and testing conclusions (gas layer). This model can accurately identify low resistivity gas reservoirs in the research area, and has important guiding significance for identifying the reservoir properties of tight sandstone gas reservoirs in the Sichuan Basin. It can provide reference value for the exploration and development of similar gas reservoirs in other regions.
