用Transformer统一处理全井数据,精准预测地层分层边界
LithoFormer: A Robust Framework for Stratigraphic Inference via Transformers

- 采用序列到序列的Transformer模型,一次性处理完整多变量井数据
- 边界误差降低90%,地层顺序错误完全消除,性能远超传统方法
- 适合地质建模、碳封存等需要高精度地层解析的工业场景
从测井数据准确刻画地下储层地质特征,对碳捕集与封存(CCS)、地热开发及自然资源开采至关重要。现有自动化技术多依赖滑动窗口分类,难以捕捉全局地质上下文,常导致地层划分错位。为此,我们提出LithoFormer,一种基于Seq2Seq Transformer的稳健地层推断框架,可单次输入完整多变量测井数据。该框架采用通道无关的PatchTST主干网络,并引入旋转位置编码(RoPE)以捕捉全井数据中的长程地质依赖关系。解耦的多任务头联合预测地质分带与精确边界概率,同时使用地质约束损失函数,强制满足地层叠置定律等物理规律。在三个真实世界数据集上验证表明,LithoFormer相比传统滑动窗口基线,中位边界误差减少90%,完全消除地层顺序错误;同时人工专家工作量降低80%,彻底解决地层不一致问题,为大规模地下建模提供可扩展、可靠的新方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate geological characterization of subsurface reservoirs from well log data is essential to support projects such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), geothermal development, and extraction of natural resources. Existing automated techniques for geological characterization primarily use sliding-window classification, which limits their ability to understand broader geological contexts, often leading to misaligned formation layers. To overcome these limitations, we introduce LithoFormer, a robust framework for stratigraphic inference using a Seq2Seq transformer model that ingests entire multivariate well logs in a single pass. The framework utilizes a channel-independent PatchTST backbone enhanced with rotary positional embeddings (RoPE) to capture long-range geological dependencies across entire multivariate well logs. A decoupled multi-task head is employed to jointly predict geological zonation and precise boundary probabilities, while a geology-informed loss function enforces physical constraints such as the Law of Superposition. Validated and deployed on three real-world datasets, LithoFormer demonstrates a 90% reduction in median boundary error and eliminates stratigraphic order violations compared to traditional sliding-window baselines. It also achieves a 80% reduction in manual expert labor and eliminates stratigraphic inconsistencies, providing a scalable and reliable solution for large-scale subsurface modeling.
