A Novel Lithology Recognition Framework Based on Auxiliary Classification-Guided Denoising Diffusion and Multi-Scale Deep Learning

Year: 2026

Abstract: Lithology identification is a key task in petroleum geological exploration and development, essential for evaluating sweet spots and characterizing reservoirs. A significant challenge in lithology identification is the insufficient accuracy of traditional machine learning methods due to the uneven distribution of geological data categories. To address this, we propose a novel lithology identification framework combining a denoising diffusion model with auxiliary classification, a neural network with channel attention mechanisms, and a bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). The proposed framework first employs the Auxiliary Classification Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (A-CDPM) to generate high-quality well log data, effectively balancing the data classes. Secondly, it utilizes a multi-scale convolutional model with channel attention mechanisms and a Bidirectional GRU classification model, which automatically adjusts feature weights and effectively integrates information from different well log data. Experimental results demonstrate that our method significantly improves lithology identification accuracy, achieving 86.66% on datasets from the Hugoton and Panoma fields in Kansas, USA. Compared to traditional methods, this framework substantially enhances recognition precision, providing a novel and effective solution for lithology identification in petroleum geological exploration.
