融合多点地质统计与Transformer的分层自回归储层表征框架
Stratified Autoregressive Generation Framework for Reservoir Characterization: Bridging Multiple⁃Point Geostatistics and Transformer
,
为了解决深度生成模型在硬数据约束下易发生模式崩溃和伪影的问题,本文提出一种分层自回归生成(Stratified Autoregressive Generation, SAG)框架.该框架利用离线训练的Transformer架构作为条件分布估计器,替代多点地质统计的在线搜索与计数过程;采用三级由粗到细的分层策略,先定义大尺度全局结构,再向细尺度传播约束,规避大网格上的二次计算复杂度.多组实验结果及多维尺度图与变差函数分析显示,本文方法生成的结果具备多样性,且准确再现了训练数据的全局统计特征与空间连续性;直方图交叉量化评估证实了无伪影的高局部模式保真度;不确定性评估显示不确定度由硬数据点向外逐渐增加,收敛模式符合地质规律.本文提出的方法在不同数量的硬数据约束下,其结果保持了空间连续性和样本多样性,实现了复杂储层结构及物性的准确表征.
To address the mode collapse and artifacts encountered in deep generative models under hard data constraints, this study proposes a Stratified Autoregressive Generation (SAG) method, aiming to develop a robust reservoir characterization approach. The method utilizes an offline-trained Transformer architecture as a conditional distribution estimator to replace the computationally expensive online “search and count” process of MPS. A three-level, coarse-to-fine strategy is adopted to define global structures at large scales first and subsequently propagates constraints to finer scales, thereby avoiding the quadratic computational complexity on large grids. Multiple sets of experiments as well as multidimensional scaling and variogram analyses indicate that the generated realizations possess diversity and accurately reproduce the global statistics and spatial continuity of the training data. Quantitative assessment using histogram intersection further confirms high local pattern fidelity without artifacts. Uncertainty assessment reveals that uncertainty increases outward from hard data points, showing a convergence pattern consistent with geological laws. The results indicate that the proposed method maintains spatial continuity and realization diversity under varying amounts of hard data constraints, which achieves the accurate characterization of complex reservoir structures and properties.
