Embodiment Construction

[0033] A horizontal section of the horizontal well is defined by a first target point and a second target point. Drilling into the target layer before reaching the first target point is called pre-targeting, and after reaching the first target point is called post-targeting. The deep horizontal well drilling trajectory adjustment method of the present invention generally includes the following processes:

[0034] ① Optimizing and adjusting the trajectory of the horizontal well before hitting the target through the prediction of the reservoir depth while drilling. Of course, reservoir burial depth prediction while drilling can also be combined with marker layer approach control. A marker layer is a layer or group of rock formations with distinct and distinctive features that can be traced or compared as strata.

[0035] ②Optimize and adjust the trajectory of the horizontal well after hitting the target by "searching for dolomite, long-term penetration of high-quality reservoi...

Abstract

The invention discloses a deep horizontal well drilling track regulating method, which comprises the following steps of: before the drilling of a drilling well, using an adjacent well speed field for predicting the main formation limit depth of the drilling well; before the drilling to a target layer, virtualizing the drilling well into a pilot well; obtaining the actual formation limit depth of the drilling well and a quarto well logging curve while drilling; correcting the deep formation limit at the main formation depth obtained before the drilling according to the obtained actual formation limit depth, and obtaining a corrected marking layer depth; performing the putting into a seismic profile according to the obtained quarto well logging curve in accordance with the marking layer so as to reverse the speed field of the drilling well; predicting the depth of the target layer of the drilling well according to the speed field of the drilling well; and regulating the drilling track set in the last time if the difference of the current predicted depth of the target layer and the depth of the target layer predicted in the last time is greater than the preset deviation threshold. The method has the advantages that the Yuanba horizontal well track optimization and regulation are effectively guided, and the effective reservoir drilling ratio is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for controlling the drilling trajectory of a horizontal well, in particular to a method for adjusting the drilling trajectory of a deep horizontal well. Background technique [0002] The Changxing Formation gas pool in the Yuanba gas field is a lithologic gas pool with ultra-deep layers, edge (bottom) water locally, and controlled by reefs and shoals. The research shows that the reefs and shoals of the Changxing Formation are small and scattered, the overall reservoir is thin, the vertical and horizontal heterogeneity is strong, the connectivity is poor, and the thickness plane changes greatly; the gas-water relationship in the gas reservoir is complex, and different reefs and shoals are not unified The gas-water interface is a relatively independent gas-water system; the production and well-controlled reserves of vertical wells generally do not meet the economic limit requirements, and the gas field development plan d...
