Abstract

Assessment of petroleum generation potential of the source rock as a function of Total Organic Carbon content and Kerogen Type is of great importance in oil and gas exploration studies. The main aim of this research is to compare the performance of Artificial Neural Networks trained by back propagation algorithm (ANN-BP) and metaheuristic methods including Genetic Algorithm (ANN-GA) and Particle Swarm optimization (ANN-PSO) for prediction of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) content and remaining petroleum potential (S2) from the wireline data. For this purpose, Pabdeh Formation (Paleocene-Oligocene) in Mansuri oilfield is studied. Based on the results of linear regression on the test data, ANN-PSO method provides more accurate predictions of Rock-Eval derived TOC and S2 parameters with correlation coefficient (R2) values of 0. 8548 and 0. 9089, respectively. In addition, hydrogen index (HI) is appropriately predicted based on the relationship between TOC and S2 values obtained from the ANN-PSO method with R2 value of 0. 6882, from which different types of kerogen can be distinguished with classification accuracy of 74 percent. Geochemical zonation of Pabdeh Formation based on organic richness and Kerogen Type reveals three distinctive parts, among which the middle part (Brown Shale Unit, BSU) demonstrates the greater petroleum generation potential with having the significant values of Total Organic Carbon and hydrogen index. Therefore, the BSU can play an important role in hydrocarbon charging of the oilfield traps if it attains proper level of thermal maturity. Accordingly, precise determination of petroleum generation characteristics of Pabdeh Formation using the ANN-PSO model proposed in this study will lead to a reduction in uncertainty associated with petroleum system modeling, and therefore will considerably increase the exploration efficiency in the Mansuri oilfield.
