TOC, one of the crucial reservoir properties, is significant for the reservoir evaluation. Therefore, it’s necessary to acquire high-precision TOC by the low-cost and effective technology. Because logging parameters and TOC have a complicated nonlinear mapping connection and time series features, we propose a LSTM-Attention (Long Short-Term Memory Combined with Attention Mechanism) method for predicting TOC, and use the real logging data of an exploration area in Qinshui Basin to test the performance of this model. This method makes full use of the advantages of LSTM in processing serialized structural data. To automatically extract the crucial information from LSTM structure, the attention mechanism is introduced. The research results suggest that compared with SVR, GBDT and LSTM models, LSTM-Attention model has lower prediction error and broad application prospects in TOC prediction.
