Shear-Wave Velocity Prediction Method via a Gate Recurrent Unit Fusion Network Based on the Spatiotemporal Attention Mechanism

AbstractCompression-wave velocity and shear-wave velocity are important elastic parameters describing deeply tight sandstone. Limited by cost and technical reasons, the conventional logging data generally lack shear-wave velocity. In addition, the existing rock physics theory is diff...

description AbstractCompression-wave velocity and shear-wave velocity are important elastic parameters describing deeply tight sandstone. Limited by cost and technical reasons, the conventional logging data generally lack shear-wave velocity. In addition, the existing rock physics theory is difficult to accurately establish the rock physics models due to the complex pore structure of tight sandstone reservoir. With the rapid development of the artificial intelligence, the attention mechanism that can increase the sensitivity of the network to important characteristics has been widely used in machine translation, image processing, and other fields, but it is rarely used to predict shear-wave velocity. Based on the correlation between the shear-wave velocity and the conventional logging data in the spatiotemporal direction, a gate recurrent unit (GRU) fusion network based on the spatiotemporal attention mechanism (STAGRU) is proposed. Compared with the convolutional neural network (CNN) and gate recurrent unit (GRU), the network proposed can improve the sensitivity of the network to important spatiotemporal characteristics using the spatiotemporal attention mechanism. It is analyzed that the relationship between the spatiotemporal characteristics of the conventional logging data and the attention weights of the network proposed to verify the rationality of adding the spatiotemporal attention mechanism. Finally, the training and testing results of the STAGRU, CNN, and GRU networks show that the prediction accuracy and generalization of the network proposed are better than those of the other two networks.
