摘要

Accurate lithofacies classification is crucial for reservoir evaluation in tight sandstone reservoirs, where geological heterogeneity and scarce core data pose significant challenges. This study proposes a hybrid deep learning framework that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for spatial feature extraction from well log sequences with Deep Q-Networks (DQN) for reinforcement-based adaptive decision-making. Unlike conventional supervised learning, the DQN component explicitly optimizes for geological consistency through a reward mechanism that considers sequential dependencies along the wellbore. To address data quality issues, Thermal Kernel Interpolation (TKI) is employed for missing value recovery using stratigraphic similarity, while Borderline Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (BSMOTE) mitigates class imbalance by targeting boundary samples. Comparative experiments demonstrate that the proposed CNN-DQN model substantially outperforms traditional machine learning approaches, particularly in identifying transitional lithofacies and maintaining stratigraphic coherence. This workflow provides a robust and interpretable solution for lithofacies characterization in tight sandstone reservoirs with complex geological conditions.
