Abstract
Accurate measurement of acoustic velocities of sedimentary rocks is essential for prediction of rock elastic constants and well failure analysis during drilling operations. Direct measurement by advanced logging tools such as dipole sonic imager is not always possible. For older wells, such data are not available in most cases. Therefore, it is an alternate way to develop a reliable correlation to estimate the shear wave velocity from existing log and/or core data. The objective of this research is to investigate the nature of dependency of different reservoir parameters on the shear wave velocity (Vs) of clastic sedimentary rocks, and to identify the parameter/variable which shows the highest level of dependency. In the study, data-driven connectionist models are developed using machine learning approach of least square support vector machine (LSSVM). The coupled simulated annealing (CSA) approach is utilized to optimize the tuning and kernel parameters in the model development. The performance of the simulation-based model is evaluated using statistical parameters. It is found that the most dependency predictor variable is the compressional wave velocity, followed by the rock porosity, bulk density and shale volume in turn. A new correlation is developed to estimate Vs, which captures the most influential parameters of sedimentary rocks. The new correlation is verified and compared with existing models using measured data of sandstone, and it exhibits a minimal error and high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.96). The hybridized LSSVM-CSA connectionist model development strategy can be applied for further analysis to predict rock mechanical properties. Additionally, the improved correlation of Vs can be adopted to estimate rock elastic constants and conduct wellbore failure analysis for safe drilling and field development decisions, reducing the exploration costs.
