ABSTRACT
Interpretation of three-dimensional (3-D) seismic data gives an opportunity to generate deep subsurface structure maps Furthermore, combination of seismic with well-logging data interpretation will provide more reliable information for good understanding of deep structures, especially faults and fractured zones prediction In this study, we used a computing technique based on computer program named “Neural Network”, to predict porosity of reservoirs with high accuracy Porosity values can build porosity contribution maps for an oil & gas prospect We found that, the zones with high porosity relate to the faults and fractured zones Therefore, the correction between porosity distribution maps and results of seismic data interpretation can used to predict faults and fractured zones with higher reliability Hence, 3-D structural model will be constructed, revealed structural and tectonic configurations for hydrocarbon potential assessment We used data of A2-VD oil & gas prospect, southern offshore Vietnam, for this paper Achieved results provided very valuable information for the identification of drilling and production well location, as well as development of the prospect in the future
Trang 21 INTRODUCTION
A2-VD oil prospect, located in Cuu Long
basin (Figure 1), southern offshore Vietnam is a
main target area for oil and gas exploration in
Viet Nam with the major reservoir is fractured
granite basement (PV, 1998) The Cuu Long
basin that was formed during Cenozoic Era
under the influence of India-Eurasian collision
generating the South China Sea spreading, is the
most prospective hydrocarbon basin in offshore
Vietnam (Phuong, 1997), especially the A2-VD
oil prospect in Block 15-2 is of particular
interest
The sedimentary stratigraphy of this basin is
divided into several sequences: basement
(Pre-Tertiary), sequence E (Lower Oligocene to
Eocene), D (Upper Oligocene), C (Early
Miocene), B1 (Middle Miocene), and younger
sequences (B2 and A) The stratigraphy
correlates with wells VD-1X, VD-2X in the
study area as presented in Figure 2 (JVPC, 2000 and 2001)
2 THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3-D) SEISMIC DATA INTERPRETATION OF A2-VD PROSPECT
In this research, we conducted seismic interpretation of a volume cube for 3-D seismic data in the area 12.5 x 6 km2 with 345 inlines and 320 crosslines The major seismic sequences
in each section were determined by correlation with stratigraphy derived from the wells in the study area (JVPC, 2000 and 2001) The interpretation was carried out using the basic concepts for seismic stratigraphy interpretation (Badley, 1985; Vail et al., 1977) Figure 3 shows the seismic data interpretation in selected sections

Trang 33 POROSITY DISTRIBUTIONS USING
NEURAL NETWORK
The architecture of NN we used as shown in
Figure 4 with one input layer composed of six
nodes These six nodes represent the response of
neutron, density, sonic, resistivity (LLS, LLD
and MSFL)
Figure 4 Architecture of neural network used in
this study
A single hidden layer has five nodes and the
output layer has only one node represents
porosity With data of this study area, more
hidden layers or more neurons of each layer is
ineffective and make more complex calculation
For training NN, we used training data set which
is a data set of 6 inputs parameters from well log
data and 1 output parameter is porosity that was
selected from core samples During training
process of NN, we applied the most common learning law, back-propagation, as a training law
to reduce the errors (Lippman, 1987) However, back-propagation includes several kinds of paradigms such as on-line back-propagation, batch back-propagation, delta-bar-delta, resilient propagation (RPROP) and quick propagation (Werbos, 1994) The most successful paradigm used in this study are batch back-propagation
By using batch back-propagation paradigm, figure 5 shows the RMS errors as a function of training and testing data set patterns of NN, that all of them are lower than 0.1
The data used for the network design are taken from various wells in A2-VD oil prospect
We used derived NN to predict porosity from logs data of all wells in A2-VD oil prospect Comparison of NN predictions and log predictions with core data are displayed in Figure 6 as a selection of well A2-VD-1X It shows the results in the cored reservoir intervals,
in that NN method is more efficient than conventional log method Porosity values versus depth of all wells in study area were used to reveal the distribution maps of them Figure 7 shows the porosity distribution in the upper 100 meters of the basement
The porosity distributions was correlated with seismic data interpretation for faults and fracture zones identification (Figures 7, 8 and 9) because the zones of good porosity are related to faults Hence, 3-D structural models are able to constructed reliably

4 CONSTRUCTION 3-D STRUCTURAL
MODELS OF A2-VD PROSPECT
In this study, we focused to construct 3-D
model of the top basement and E sequence,
because that are main targets of oil and gas
production in this prospect (JVPC, 2001)
A 3-D structural model was prepared using a
PC-based program The basement is modeled as
a Pre-Tertiary formation with a maximum depth
of 3500 ms and minimum depth (highest point)
of 2100 ms
Figure 10 shows the 3-D structural model for
the top of the basement The faults strongly segmented the basement with the location is nearly as the same as the location of high porosity distribution from NN Re-activation of the faults in the Eocene and Lower Oligocene results in basement uplift, completely truncating the E sequence (Figure 11) Fault activities were interpreted meticulously from the seismic sections This uplift shifts the top of the E sequence from 3000 ms to 2200 ms, and the truncation eliminates the E sequence from the basement high Fault locations from these structural maps are quite coincident with the porosity locations obtained by NN

5 CONCLUSIONS
By using neural network, reliability porosity
values can be predicted directly from well log
data And then, porosity distribution maps were
combined with seismic data interpretation to
predict faults and fractures zones Hence, 3-D
structural models were constructed reliably
The 3-D structure models and structural
maps prepared based on 3-D seismic data and
well log data for the A2-VD prospect have
revealed the detail subsurface structure of this
area This research provides useful data for oil
field development in offshore Vietnam, and will
be supplemented in the near future with more
detailed research on the fault distributions in this
area and also illustrated the influence of
India-Eurasian to the tectonics of Vietnam These
studies thus form the basis for hydrocarbon
potential assessment in this area, and provide
fundamental data for planning of oil prospects
