Crosswell electromagnetic (EM) method has fundamentally improved the horizontal detection ability of well logging and will become an increasingly promising approach for the secondary exploration of hydrocarbon reservoir. We applied orthogonal least squares (OLS) radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) based on improved Gram Schmidt (G S) procedure to three-dimensional (3D) crosswell EM inversion problems. In the inversion process of the simplified crosswell model with single-grid conductivity anomalies and normal oil reservoir, compared the inversion results of other five neural networks, OLS-RBFNN was proved to have the best global optimization ability and the fastest sample learning speed and the average inversion error of low conductivity anomalies model (4%) and oil reservoir model (9%) can meet the inversion requirements of crosswell EM method. Only the OLS-RBFNN could achieve ideal inversion results in the most concerned central area of crosswell model, and the inversion accuracy of this algorithm will be more outstanding when the model becomes more complex. Merely using the three-component time-domain crosswell EM data of two wells, the inversion of 3D medium conductivity in the crosswell dominant exploration area can be effectively realized through the nonlinear approximation of the OLS-RBFNN.
