Abstract

The invention discloses a method for calculating the stratigraphic dip through the lateral drilling curvature radius. The method comprises projecting at least three well holes of a directional well to a profile; determining a circle through three points which are projected to the profile; calculating the stratigraphic dip of three drilling points through well deviation processing data. According to the method for calculating the stratigraphic dip through the lateral drilling curvature radius, the processing is performed on the well deviation data and accordingly the means for calculating the stratigraphic dip can be increased, the accuracy of the stratigraphic dip can be verified, and the auxiliary judgment can be performed on the structure form for the dipping formation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for calculating the formation dip angle by the radius of curvature of a sidetracking well, and belongs to the field of calculation of the formation dip angle for directional well drilling. Background technique [0002] With the deepening of petroleum exploration and development and the improvement of gas reservoir exploitation, more and more well types adopt highly deviated wells and horizontal wells. In order to ensure the success of the target area, the data of the dip angle of the formation at the reservoir interface is very important. In the prior art, there are many methods for calculating formation dip. For example, Chinese Patent No. "201310272811.2" discloses a method for estimating high-precision formation dip. Flipping is to perform vector field flipping, calculate vector set distance, calculate vector filter weighting, and finally perform vector weighted filtering processing. [0003] The most common and e...
