Prediction of Sonic Shear Wave Using Artificial Neural Network Jassim Naji, Ghassan Abdul-Majeed, Ali Alhuraishawy Iraqi Geological Journal, 2022 Shear wave time is an important parameter participating in the calculation of rock mechanics properties. Many evaluation processes including wellbore stability analysis and sand production prediction are based on rock mechanics properties so these processes are directly related to the estimation of shear wave time. Several empirical correlations have been developed to predict shear wave time using regression analysis and artificial neural network techniques for the estimation of relationships between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables for certain conditions of the reservoir. However, they are not appropriate for reservoirs with different conditions as well as all effective parameters are not considered in previous relationships. In this study, the artificial neural network is adopted for predicting shear wave time using datasets consisting of 1922 data points for a certain directional oil well from Iraqi Fauqi oil field wells. Two sets of input parameters are tried: the first trial includes the readings of seven logs (Gamma-ray, caliper, compressional sonic wave, density, neutron, deep resistivity, true vertical depth), while the second trial includes the azimuth and the inclination angles in addition to the above seven readings. The optimum structure for both datasets is obtained using 12 neurons in a single hidden layer (ANN-7-12-1 and ANN-9-12-1). The statistical results reveal that an improvement is achieved when the well azimuth and inclination are included in the ANN model. A mathematical model with high performance using an artificial neural network has been developed. The mean square error and the determination coefficient for the developed model were 14.22 and 0.952 for ANN-7-12-1, while they were 9.62 and 0.966 for ANN-9-12-1, respectively. This study presents a simple mathematical model for further determination of shear wave velocities using ANN techniques which can be then integrated with the existent petroleum software programs.
Study of different geostatistical methods to model formation porosity (Cast study of Zubair formation in Luhais oil field) Jassim M. Al Musawi, Mohammed S. Al Jawad Iop Conference Series Materials Science and Engineering, 2019 This study is concerned with making comparison in using different geostatistical methods for porosity distribution of upper shale member - Zubair formation in Luhais oil field which was chosen to study. Kriging, Gaussian random function simulation and sequential Gaussian simulation geostatistical methods were adopted in this study. After preparing all needed data which are contour map, well heads of 12 wells, well tops and porosity from CPI log. Petrel software 2009 was used for porosity distribution of mentioned formation in methods that are showed above. Comparisons were made among these three methods in order to choose the best one, the comparing criteria was according to different statistical information and variograms analysis of entered porosity which was scaled up and modeled. The best method gave porosity distribution in model closest to enter porosity that represent real porosity of Zubair formation. The comparison proved that sequential Gaussian simulation is the best model of porosity distribution followed by Gaussian random function simulation and kriging methods respectively. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that the distribution accuracy of the porosity or other petrophysics properties is one of the main factors that affect building correct geological model that represents the base of reservoir model and also pore volume (Oil reserve) value was affected by geostatistical methods variation.
