Core & Log Neural Network Modeling (CLONNE) has been initiated to utilize an ANN to optimize usage of available data to generate synthetic logs and core data which enable user to eliminate any special logs and core data acquisition in the future. This will reduce the well cost and time required for data acquisition and data analysis.
CLONNE process starts with data gathering of the available core and log data which then QC'ed and conditioned for bad hole, light hydrocarbon, thin lamination and normalized. Then pair of core and log data are combined as dummy well to generate the first CLONNE model that can be used to predict for the whole fields. Conventional data including density, neutron, sonic, GR logs and other parameters are used to generate output. A random well from the field is selected to test the predictability matching of CLONNE versus the real data acquired. Several calibration performed to provide the best predictability.
Currently a number of CLONNE models have been created for offshore fields in Malaysia. For CLONNE Synthetic logs, 4 models have been created to predict Porosity, Bulk Density, Neutron and Shear Slowness. For CLONNE Synthetic core, 3 models have been created to predict Grain Size, Permeability and Porosity. All of this models have managed to predict quite well in both thick sand and laminated sand. More models will come to predict other log curves and core parameters. The models established has been tested in one field, where a synthetic sonic log has been created. After the drilling and subsequent logging run, an actual sonic log has been deployed and compared which yield to 96% comparable. The data predicted from CLONNE can greatly save almost 15 months spend to acquire and analyze core data and also almost RM 6 Million total expenditure to acquire and analyze core data.
In 2018, CLONNE has achieved RM 6 Million cost avoidance from application in 3 fields in Malaysia. The CLONNE model generated can be implement to Basin wide prediction thus enable the sharing use of data. This will help to integrate the data available instead of data being utilize in the specific field only.
