The reason lies in the fact that existing horizontal constraint methods mainly adopt convolutional models, without fully considering other prior information of seismic data. Within the same sedimentary unit, seismic response characteristics vary gradually due to similar lithology and geological characteristics. Therefore, the seismic facies information extracted from seismic data is integrated into deep learning network to enhance the horizontal prediction stability of the network. Firstly, according to the spatial and temporal characteristics of seismic data, a fusion network of three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3D-CNN), gated recurrent unit (GRU) and attention mechanism is established to improve the vertical resolution of inversion results. Then, seismic facies classification of the target layer is achieved by applying the K-means clustering method. Subsequently, to improve the horizontal resolution of the inversion results, seismic facies classification is transformed into temporal encoding data using the position coding theory in natural language processing, to form a seismic facies-controlled deep learning network.

However, its use in the geophysical inversion has been limited due to difficulties in differentiating the linear-equations solution, which cannot be explicitly defined as an elementary function. To address this issue, we employ an improved AD scheme using implicit differentiation (ADID) that creates a new AD operator that customizes the standard AD scheme to function more efficiently.

Petrophysical logging, serving as an effective tool for acquiring subsurface lithofacies information, provides a convenient and reliable lithofacies identification solution. Deep learning technology, capable of adapting to the nonlinearity and non-stationarity inherent in geological statistics, exhibits unique advantages in conventional reservoir lithofacies prediction. However, the lithofacies of lacustrine shale formations undergo rapid spatial and temporal changes, rendering lithofacies prediction more complex compared to conventional reservoirs. In this study, the lower Qingshankou member in the Sanzhao Sag was selected as the research target, and the Deep Residual Shrinkage Network (DRSN), known for its ability to handle complex nonlinear relationships and mitigate the effects of noisy data through residual connections and shrinkage mechanisms, was employed as a deep learning framework for predicting lithofacies in lacustrine shale formations for the first time. Well logging data, including natural gamma ray (GR), acoustic (AC), deep investigate double lateral resistivity log (RD), shallow investigate double lateral resistivity log (RS), and corrected compensated neutron log (CNC), were used as input features for the model. The results indicate that the DRSN model achieves an accuracy of 76.3% in predicting lithofacies in lacustrine shale formations. However, the DRSN model still exhibits shortcomings in capturing lithofacies change information. To enhance the model's ability to identify lithofacies change interfaces, this study further explicitly introduces Well Logging Curve Morphological Features (WLCM) as additional features and establishes a recognition method combining DRSN with WLCM. The combined DRSN-WLCM model was validated using a separate test dataset, demonstrating an improved accuracy of 85.5%, using the five well logging attributes and the derivative of the AC as inputs.

Traditional machine learning approaches typically require manual selection of attributes and lack interpretability analysis. We propose an interpretable framework, multi-attribute masking contrastive learning (MAMCL), designed to adaptively select, explore and aggregate seismic attributes for seismic facies analysis. The MAMCL framework includes a depthwise CNN module for feature extraction and an iTransformer module for feature aggregation. Based on the assumption that different attributes computed on the same seismic sample imply common information associated with the same geologic facies, we formulate an unsupervised strategy of contrastive learning to pre-train the MAMCL framework for refining the attributes. This pre-training method encourages the network to extract and integrate highly correlated attribute features by enhancing the expression of commonalities within the same sample, and implicitly increase the distance between features of different categories by differentiating the expressions of different samples. Ultimately, these refined features only need to be input into a simple clustering algorithm, such as K-Means, to achieve seismic facies classification. MAMCL requires no labels or manual selection of attributes and can utilize the self-attention mechanism of iTransformer to compute adaptive attribute weights, facilitating interpretability analysis.
