Abstract
A sand shale formation lithology evaluation method and system for precise deep oil and gas navigation aims to solve the problem in the prior art, that is, the accuracy of the logging-while-drilling (LWD) azimuthal resistivity is insufficient due to an equipment or technology deficiency. The method includes: acquiring density distribution data, gamma distribution data, and resistivity distribution data of a target location; amplifying the data to acquire amplified logging distribution data; clustering the data to acquire clustered logging data; adding stratigraphic information to the clustered data; performing dimensionality reduction by a principal component analysis (PCA) method, and taking dimensionality-reduced data as a weight of azimuthal logging data to acquire an LWD feature dataset; predicting missing LWD photoelectric data through the LWD feature dataset; and acquiring a formation lithology evaluation result based on an LWD photoelectric data prediction curve. The method and system improves the accuracy of LWD lithology evaluation.
