Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for determining distance between a bit and a formation interface in geosteering while drilling. The method includes the steps of acquiring documents of natural gamma-ray logging in position while-drilling in real time and predicting the relative included angle between the formation interface to be drilled and the drilling direction, acquiring the vertical distance between the preset position in the drilling direction and the formation interface to be drilled, and determining the distance from the bit to the formation interface to be drilled in the drilling direction according to the relative included angle and the vertical distance. The preset position is the position of a detector in the location of the natural gamma-ray curve varies at first when the bit drills to the formation interface to be drilled. According to the documents of the natural gamma-ray logging in position-while-drilling, the distance between the bit and the formation interface to be drilled is quantized, and thus, natural gamma-ray logging in position-while-drilling can facilitate geosteering well.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of geosteering and geological exploration, in particular to a method and a device for determining the distance between a drill bit and a formation interface in geosteering while drilling. Background technique [0002] Geosteering technology is one of the cutting-edge drilling technologies developed in the 1990s. It uses geological or engineering parameters such as natural gamma ray, formation density, formation resistivity, ring pressure, temperature and pressure measured in real time during drilling to determine Adjust the drilling trajectory in time according to the formation encountered by the drill bit. The use of geosteering technology can ensure that the drill bit drills in the favorable reservoir as much as possible to achieve the purpose of increasing production and recovery. With the continuous increase of horizontal wells and directional wells, geosteering is an indispensable high-tech in the dri...
