A novel deep autoencoder compression method significantly improves wellbore trajectory data compression ratios and reduces errors. This enhances wellbore stability monitoring by overcoming limitations of traditional methods.
Area of Science:
- Petroleum Engineering
- Data Science
- Signal Processing
Background:
- Wellbore trajectory data compression is vital for effective wellbore stability monitoring.
- Classical methods (Huffman coding, compressed sensing, DPCM) exhibit limitations in real-time performance, compression ratio, and data reconstruction accuracy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an advanced compression method for wellbore trajectory data.
- To improve compression ratios and minimize reconstruction errors compared to existing techniques.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing a deep autoencoder for primary data compression.
- Employing quantization and Huffman coding for residual data compression.
- Applying a mean filter with an optimal standard deviation threshold for error reduction.
Main Results:
- Achieved an average compression ratio of 4.05 for inclination and azimuth data, an 118.54% improvement over DPCM.
- Reduced average mean square error to 76.88, an 82.46% decrease compared to DPCM.
- Ablation studies validated the effectiveness of individual components of the proposed method.
Conclusions:
- The proposed deep autoencoder-based method offers superior performance for wellbore trajectory data compression.
- This advancement significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of wellbore stability monitoring.
