This paper presents the application of two AI approaches in predicting total organic carbon content in Devonian Duvernay shale. The results show that the ANFIS method yields the best predictions. The study found that gamma ray has the most significant impact on TOC prediction.
This paper presents the application of two artificial intelligence (AI) approaches in the prediction of total organic carbon content (TOC) in Devonian Duvernay shale. To develop and test the models, around 1250 data points from three wells were used. Each point comprises TOC value with corresponding spectral and conventional well logs. The tested AI techniques are adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system (ANFIS) and functional network (FN) which their predictions are compared to existing empirical correlations. Out of these two methods, ANFIS yielded the best outcomes with 0.98, 0.90, and 0.95 correlation coefficients (R) in training, testing, and validation respectively, and the average errors ranged between 7 and 18%. In contrast, the empirical correlations resulted in R values less than 0.85 and average errors greater than 20%. Out of eight inputs, gamma ray was found to have the most significant impact on TOC prediction. In comparison to the experimental procedures, AI-based models produces continuous TOC profiles with good prediction accuracy. The intelligent models are developed from preexisting data which saves time and costs.
