New method accurately identifies high-quality oil reservoirs in challenging formations.
The researchers studied how to identify different types of rock layers in a specific area to find better spots for oil drilling. They found that using a special computer program called BPNN was the most accurate way to do this. This program could predict the rock layers with 80% accuracy, which was better than other methods they tried. This means that BPNN can help find good places to drill for oil by looking at regular data from wells.
