However, fault identification in deep fault-karst carbonate formations is particularly challenging due to their deep burial depth and the complex effects of dissolution. Traditional manual interpretation methods are often labor intensive and prone to high uncertainty due to their subjective nature. To address these limitations, this study proposes a transfer learning–based strategy for fault identification in deep fault-karst carbonate formations. The proposed methodology began with the generation of a large volume of synthetic seismic samples based on statistical fault distribution patterns observed in the study area. These synthetic samples were used to pretrain an improved U-Net network architecture, enhanced with an attention mechanism, to create a robust pretrained model. Subsequently, real-world fault labels were manually annotated based on verified fault interpretations and integrated into the training dataset. This combination of synthetic and real-world data was used to fine-tune the pretrained model, significantly improving its fault interpretation accuracy. The experimental results demonstrate that the integration of synthetic and real-world samples effectively enhances the quality of the training dataset. Furthermore, the proposed transfer learning strategy significantly improves fault recognition accuracy. By replacing the traditional weighted cross-entropy loss function with the Dice loss function, the model successfully addresses the issue of extreme class imbalance between positive and negative samples. Practical applications confirm that the proposed transfer learning strategy can accurately identify fault structures in deep fault-karst carbonate formations, providing a novel and effective technical approach for fault interpretation in such complex geological settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37116,"journal":{"name":"Natural Gas Industry B","volume":"12 2","pages":"Pages 174-185"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143886568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduced a novel neural network called the spatial-spectral domain attention network (SSDAN), which employed spatial and spectral domain attention mechanisms to extract features and restore information in parallel. The network generated super-resolution images through a fusion module that included CNN-based spatial blocks for pixel-level image information recovery, spectral blocks to process Fourier transform information of images and enhance high-frequency recovery, and an adaptive vision transformer to process Fourier transform block information, eliminating the need for a preset image size.

Taking the source rocks of the Xishanyao Formation and the Sangonghe Formation as objectives, this study conducted rock pyrolysis and gold tube simulation experiment to investigate their hydrocarbon generation characteristics and differences. Our results indicate that the source rocks of the Xishanyao Formation include mudstone, carbonaceous mudstone and coal, and the quality of the source rocks is highly heterogeneous; the source rocks of the Sangonghe Formation are mainly composed of mudstone, and it is a good gas source rock. Simulation experiments found that the activation energy required for the generation of gaseous hydrocarbons by the mudstone of the Sangonghe Formation is lower than that by the mudstone of the Xishanyao Formation. The hydrocarbon generation process can be divided into three stages for both formations, but the gas generation potential of the Xishanyao Formation mudstone is higher than that of the Sangonghe Formation mudstone. A large amount of hydrocarbon was generated by the mudstone of the Xishanyao Formation when entering late thermal evolution, of which methane is dominant, mainly from the demethylation reaction of mature kerogen. On the other hand, a large amount of hydrocarbon was generated by the mudstone of the Sangonghe Formation in the early stage of thermal evolution, of which light hydrocarbon and wet gas are dominant, mainly from the early cracking stage of kerogen. This difference may be attributed to the structure of kerogen. The mudstone of the Xishanyao Formation is conducive to the formation of highly mature dry gas reservoirs, while the mudstone of the Sangonghe Formation is conducive to the formation of low maturity condensate gas and volatile oil reservoirs.

We categorized the shale interbeds into three types based on interbed type: silt interbeds (SIs), shell fragment interbeds (SFIs), and shell skeleton interbeds (SSIs). The SIs, SFIs, and SSIs are respectively the products of extrabasinal low-density turbidity currents, intrabasinal debris flow, and intrabasinal low-density turbidity currents. We propose that variations in paleoenvironmental conditions primarily influenced the types of interbeds that developed but had minimal impact on the frequency of their development.

In the middle depositional period, as the climate gradually transitioned to more humid conditions, and the weathering intensity and amount of terrestrial input increased, the development of SIs and SFIs significantly increased.

In this paper, a method is proposed for quantifying the potentiometric surface of the tight oil reservoir of the Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Zhenjing area, southern Ordos Basin, China. This method involves screening pressure data that reflect real pore pressure conditions underground and analyzing the formation sealing conditions in the reservoir based on fracture development and the chemical characteristics of the formation water. The relationship between the potentiometric surface and the abnormally low pressure observed in the study area is discussed. The results show that the pressure coefficient of the Yanchang Formation in the Zhenjing area is 0.85–1.02, with an average of 0.93, indicating a state between abnormally low pressure and normal pressure. The Yanchang Formation has complex sealing conditions, with favorable overall sealing and a locally open hydrodynamic environment controlled by sand body connectivity and fault activity. We proposed a method to calculate the potentiometric surface using the measured pressure data with a pressure coefficient close to 1. The potentiometric surface is 1040–1200 m, with a high value in the northwest and a low value in the southeast, and it is 0–350 m below the ground level.

Friction in the wellbore further complicates tool deployment into the horizontal section, posing challenges to efficient plug drilling and achieving wellbore access to the target layer. This paper integrates the theory of positive displacement motors and models their actual working characteristics to study the milling of bridge plugs in severely deformed horizontal wells. It examines the effects of coiled tubing diameter and wall thickness on the bending load of horizontal sections and discusses key technical requirements, including the timing of plug drilling, extending the run in the horizontal section, parameter control, and real-time field analysis. Field practices have shown that after casing deformation occurs, priority should be given to drilling out the bridge plugs below the point of deformation. The primary factors contributing to stuck drills in deformed wells include smaller mill shoe sizes and larger cuttings sizes. Short well-washing cycles and targeted cuttings removal can effectively reduce sticking risks. If sticking occurs, high-tonnage pulling should be avoided. Instead, releasing the stick through up-and-down string motion, combined with high-volume nozzle spraying and annulus pumping, is recommended. The selection of coiled tubing should consider diameter, wall thickness, and steel grade to handle complex situations. Larger diameters, thicker walls, and low-frequency, multi-head hydraulic oscillators are more effective for unlocking horizontal sections.
