In order to minimize uncertainties inherent to electrofacies classification from well log data, this paper describes nine different strategies for classification using unsupervised neural networks, self-organizing maps (SOM), which combine geophysical information with data derived from well logs, Hölder exponent and acoustic impedance. The method was applied to the Albian carbonate reservoir of the Campos Basin, for which the following well logs were used: sonic (DT), neutron porosity (NPHI), density (RHOB) and gamma ray (GR). Due to the scarcity of core data, the classifications were performed in two steps: first, the classification of well logs and acoustic impedance were performed, which were then used as an additional variable in tests with the algorithm seeking to classify the core data that describe four core data facies (reservoir, possible-reservoir, non-reservoir and cement). The best results of the analysis are associated with the insertion of acoustic impedance information and of such new variable. Adding the new variable to well log samples in the training dataset resulted in a 16% increase in accuracy in core data classification. The results allow the potential integration of seismic data to be quantified in the automatic classification of well data by the SOM method.2001/02/15327348Álvarez, G., Sansó, B., Michelena, R.J., Jiménez, J.R., Lithologic characterization of a reservoir using continuous-wavelet transforms (2003) IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 41 (1), pp. 59-65. , New York JanArzuman, S., (2009) Comparison of Geostatistics and Artificial Neural Networks in Reservoir Property Estimation, p. 145. , Tese (Doutorado) - Departamento de Engenharia Geológica, The Middle East Technical University, Ankara-Eskişehir, 2009Avseth, P., Mukerju, T., Mavko, G., (2005) Quantitative Seismic Interpretation, 359p. , Cambridge: Cambridge University PressBerteussen, K.A., Ursin, B., Approximate computation of the acoustic impedance from seismic data (1983) Geophysics, 48 (10), pp. 1351-1358. , Tulsa OctBhatt, A., Helle, H.B., Determination of facies from well logs using modular neural networks (2002) Petroleum Geoscience, 8 (3), pp. 217-228. , London AugBroadhead, M.K., The impact of random noise on seismic wavelet estimation (2008) The Leading Edge, 27 (2), pp. 226-230. , Los Angeles FebColéou, T., Poupon, M., Azbel, K., Unsupervised seismic facies classification: A review and comparison of techniques and implementation (2003) The Leading Edge, 22 (10), pp. 942-953. , Los Angeles OctDavies, D.L., Bouldin, D.W., A cluster separation measure (1979) IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, PAMI-1 (2), pp. 224-227. , New York AprDrummond, R.D., Vidal, A.C., Comparação entre as técnicas multivariadas MAF e PCA aplicadas na classificação de eletrofácies (2011) Revista Brasileira de Geofísica, 29 (3), pp. 497-509. , São Paulo jul./setEastley, K., Unstead, P., Kloosterman, H.J., Case study: Using seismic inversion to constrain "proved area," definition (2012) The Leading Edge, 31 (10), pp. 1082-1089. , Los Angeles SeptEsposito, A.M., Giudicepietro, F., D'Auria, L., Scarpetta, S., Martini, M.G., Coltelli, M., Marinaro, M., Unsupervised neural analysis of very-long-period events at stromboli volcano using the self-organizing maps (2008) Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 98 (5), pp. 2449-2459. , Stanford OctGardner, G.H.F., Gardner, L.W., Gregory, A.R., Formation velocity and density - The diagnostic basics for stratigraphic traps (1974) Geophysics, 39 (6), pp. 770-780. , Tulsa DecGrossman, A., Morlet, J., Decomposition of hardy functions into square integrable wavelets of constant shape (1984) SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, 15 (4), pp. 723-736. , Philadelphia JulyHaykin, S., (2001) Redes Neurais: Princípios e Práticas, 900p. , 2. ed.
