“…NMR logging is a technique used in petrophysics and petroleum exploration to assess the properties of rocks and fluids in underground formations. It utilizes the principles of nuclear magnetic resonance to measure the relaxation times and diffusion coefficients of hydrogen atoms in these materials [29]. Compared with other conventional logging techniques, NMR logging provides several advantages when it comes to permeability prediction in reservoir characterization.…”

Reservoir permeability is an important parameter for reservoir characterization and the estimation of current and future production from hydrocarbon reservoirs. Logging data is an important means of evaluating the continuous permeability curve of the whole well section. Nuclear magnetic resonance logging measurement results are less affected by lithology and have obvious advantages in interpreting permeability. The Coates model, SDR model, and other complex mathematical equations used in NMR logging may achieve a precise approximation of the permeability values. However, the empirical parameters in those models often need to be determined according to the nuclear magnetic resonance experiment, which is time-consuming and expensive. Machine learning, as an efficient data mining method, has been increasingly applied to logging interpretation. XGBoost algorithm is applied to the permeability interpretation of carbonate reservoirs. Based on the actual logging interpretation data, with the proportion of different pore components and the logarithmic mean value of T2 in the NMR logging interpretation results as the input variables, a regression prediction model is established through XGBoost algorithm to predict the permeability curve, and the optimization of various parameters in XGBoost algorithm is discussed. The determination coefficient is utilized to check the overall fitting between measured permeability versus predicted ones. It is found that XGBoost algorithm achieved overall better performance than the traditional models.
