Summary As part of plug and abandonment (P&A) operations, several acceptance criteria need to be considered by operators to qualify barrier elements. In casing annuli, highly bonded material is occasionally found far above the theoretical top of cement. This paper aims to describe how the highly bonded material can be identified using a combination of ultrasonic logging data, validated with measurements in laboratory experiments using reference cells and how this, in combination with data from the well construction records, can contribute to lowering the costly toll of P&A operations. Ultrasonic and sonic log data were acquired in several wells to assess the bond quality behind multiple casing sizes in an abandonment campaign. Data obtained from pulse-echo and flexural sensors were interactively analyzed with a crossplotting technique to distinguish gas, liquid, barite, cement, and formation in the annular space. Within the methodology used, historical data on each well were considered as an integral part of the analysis. During the original well construction, either water-based mud (WBM) or synthetic oil-based mud (OBM) was used for drilling and cementing operations, and some formation intervals consistently showed high bonding signatures under specific conditions, giving clear evidence of formation creep. Log data from multiple wells confirm that formation behavior is influenced by the type of mud used during well construction. The log data provided information of annulus material with a detailed map of the axial and azimuthal variations of the annulus contents. In some cases, log response showed a clear indication of formation creep, evidenced by a high bond quality around the production casing where cement cannot be present. Based on observations from multiple fields in the Norwegian continental shelf, a crossplot workflow has been designed to distinguish formation from cement as the potential barrier element. NORSOK Standard D-010 (2013) has initial verification acceptance criteria both for annulus cement and creeping formation as a well barrier element, both involving bond logs; however, in the case of creeping formation, it is more stringent stating that “two independent logging measurements/tools shall be applied.” This paper aims to demonstrate how this can be done with confidence using ultrasonic and sonic log data, validated against reference barrier cells (Govil et al. 2020). Logging responses like those gathered during full-scale experiments of reference barrier cells with known defects were observed in multiple wells in the field. Understanding the phenomenon of formation creep and its associated casing bond signature could have a massive impact on P&A operations. With a successful qualification of formation as an annulus barrier, significant cost and time savings can be achieved.

Sonic Log

Compressional and shear sonic traveltime logs (DTC and DTS, respectively) are crucial for subsurface characterization and seismic-well tie. However, these two logs are often missing or incomplete in many oil and gas wells. Therefore, many petrophysical and geophysical workflows include sonic log synthetization or pseudo-log generation based on multivariate regression or rock physics relations. Started on March 1, 2020, and concluded on May 7, 2020, the SPWLA PDDA SIG hosted a contest aiming to predict the DTC and DTS logs from seven “easy-to-acquire” conventional logs using machine-learning methods (GitHub, 2020). In the contest, a total number of 20,525 data points with half-foot resolution from three wells was collected to train regression models using machine-learning techniques. Each data point had seven features, consisting of the conventional “easy-to-acquire” logs: caliper, neutron porosity, gamma ray (GR), deep resistivity, medium resistivity, photoelectric factor, and bulk density, respectively, as well as two sonic logs (DTC and DTS) as the target. The separate data set of 11,089 samples from a fourth well was then used as the blind test data set. The prediction performance of the model was evaluated using root mean square error (RMSE) as the metric, shown in the equation below: RMSE=sqrt(1/2*1/m* [∑_(i=1)^m▒〖(〖DTC〗_pred^i-〖DTC〗_true^i)〗^2 + 〖(〖DTS〗_pred^i-〖DTS〗_true^i)〗^2 ] In the benchmark model, (Yu et al., 2020), we used a Random Forest regressor and conducted minimal preprocessing to the training data set; an RMSE score of 17.93 was achieved on the test data set. The top five models from the contest, on average, beat the performance of our benchmark model by 27% in the RMSE score. In the paper, we will review these five solutions, including preprocess techniques and different machine-learning models, including neural network, long short-term memory (LSTM), and ensemble trees. We found that data cleaning and clustering were critical for improving the performance in all models.

Geomechanical properties are essential for safe drilling, successful completion, and exploration of both conven-tional and unconventional reservoirs, e.g. deep shale gas and shale oil. Typically, these properties could be calcu-lated from sonic logs. However, in shale reservoirs, it is time-consuming and challenging to obtain reliable log-ging data due to borehole complexity and lacking of in-formation, which often results in log deficiency and high recovery cost of incomplete datasets. In this work, we propose the bidirectional long short-term memory (BiL-STM) which is a supervised neural network algorithm that has been widely used in sequential data-based pre-diction to estimate geomechanical parameters. The pre-diction from log data can be conducted from two differ-ent aspects. 1) Single-Well prediction, the log data from a single well is divided into training data and testing data for cross validation; 2) Cross-Well prediction, a group of wells from the same geographical region are divided into training set and testing set for cross validation, as well. The logs used in this work were collected from 11 wells from Jimusaer Shale, which includes gamma ray, bulk density, resistivity, and etc. We employed 5 vari-ous machine learning algorithms for comparison, among which BiLSTM showed the best performance with an R-squared of more than 90% and an RMSE of less than 10. The predicted results can be directly used to calcu-late geomechanical properties, of which accuracy is also improved in contrast to conventional methods.

Abstract This paper presents advancements in machine learning and cloud deployment that enable rapid and accurate automated lithology interpretation. A supervised machine learning technique is described that enables rapid, consistent, and accurate lithology prediction alongside quantitative uncertainty from large wireline or logging-while-drilling (LWD) datasets. To leverage supervised machine learning, a team of geoscientists and petrophysicists made detailed lithology interpretations of wells to generate a comprehensive training dataset. Lithology interpretations were based on applying determinist cross-plotting by utilizing and combining various raw logs. This training dataset was used to develop a model and test a machine learning pipeline. The pipeline was applied to a dataset previously unseen by the algorithm, to predict lithology. A quality checking process was performed by a petrophysicist to validate new predictions delivered by the pipeline against human interpretations. Confidence in the interpretations was assessed in two ways. The prior probability was calculated, a measure of confidence in the input data being recognized by the model. Posterior probability was calculated, which quantifies the likelihood that a specified depth interval comprises a given lithology. The supervised machine learning algorithm ensured that the wells were interpreted consistently by removing interpreter biases and inconsistencies. The scalability of cloud computing enabled a large log dataset to be interpreted rapidly; >100 wells were interpreted consistently in five minutes, yielding >70% lithological match to the human petrophysical interpretation. Supervised machine learning methods have strong potential for classifying lithology from log data because: 1) they can automatically define complex, non-parametric, multi-variate relationships across several input logs; and 2) they allow classifications to be quantified confidently. Furthermore, this approach captured the knowledge and nuances of an interpreter's decisions by training the algorithm using human-interpreted labels. In the hydrocarbon industry, the quantity of generated data is predicted to increase by >300% between 2018 and 2023 (IDC, Worldwide Global DataSphere Forecast, 2019–2023). Additionally, the industry holds vast legacy data. This supervised machine learning approach can unlock the potential of some of these datasets by providing consistent lithology interpretations rapidly, allowing resources to be used more effectively.

Anomaly-based detection is coupled with recognizing the uncommon, to catch the unusual activity, and to find the strange action behind that activity. Anomaly-based detection has a wide scope of critical applications, from bank application security to regular sciences to medical systems to marketing apps. Anomaly-based detection adopted by various Machine Learning techniques is really a type of system that consists of artificial intelligence. With the ever-expanding volume and new sorts of information, for example, sensor information from an incontestably enormous amount of IoT devices and from network flow data from cloud computing, it is implicitly understood without surprise that there is a developing enthusiasm for having the option to deal with more conclusions automatically by means of AI and ML applications. But with respect to anomaly detection, many applications of the scheme are simply the passion for detection. In this paper, Machine Learning (ML) techniques, namely the SVM, Isolation forest classifiers experimented and with reference to Deep Learning (DL) techniques, the proposed DA-LSTM (Deep Auto-Encoder LSTM) model are adopted for preprocessing of log data and anomaly-based detection to get better performance measures of detection. An enhanced LSTM (long-short-term memory) model, optimizing for the suitable parameter using a genetic algorithm (GA), is utilized to recognize better the anomaly from the log data that is filtered, adopting a Deep Auto-Encoder (DA). The Deep Neural network models are utilized to change over unstructured log information to training ready features, which are reasonable for log classification in detecting anomalies. These models are assessed, utilizing two benchmark datasets, the Openstack logs, and CIDDS-001 intrusion detection OpenStack server dataset. The outcomes acquired show that the DA-LSTM model performs better than other notable ML techniques. We further investigated the performance metrics of the ML and DL models through the well-known indicator measurements, specifically, the F-measure, Accuracy, Recall, and Precision. The exploratory conclusion shows that the Isolation Forest, and Support vector machine classifiers perform roughly 81%and 79%accuracy with respect to the performance metrics measurement on the CIDDS-001 OpenStack server dataset while the proposed DA-LSTM classifier performs around 99.1%of improved accuracy than the familiar ML algorithms. Further, the DA-LSTM outcomes on the OpenStack log data-sets show better anomaly detection compared with other notable machine learning models.
