Abstract

Artificial intelligence technology is one of the most important development directions of detailed reservoir description in the future. Detailed reservoir description provides a high-quality platform and foundation for the development and application of artificial intelligence technology. Artificial intelligence also provides a powerful tool and way for the development and progress of fine reservoir description from digitization to intelligence. The research status, advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence technology application in fine reservoir description at home and abroad are compared.The application of artificial intelligence technology almost covers all aspects of detailed reservoir description, mainly including fine stratigraphic division and comparison based on analogy learning, fine interpretation of volcanic reservoir structure based on ant colony algorithm, sedimentary microfacies and reservoir configuration division and identification of expert system, fine logging secondary interpretation based on artificial neural network, fine reservoir evaluation based on grey system theory, training image establishment and multi-point geostatistical modeling based on machine learning, knowledge discovery and data mining reservoir flow unit research, fine reservoir description result management platform based on knowledge system, etc. Finally, 10 problems existing in the application of artificial intelligence technology in fine reservoir description and 10 development directions in the future are pointed out.
