Problems solved by technology

However, according to stratigraphy, the formation thickness between the reference well and the target well is correlated and not always completely equal, which leads to large errors when the marker layer is far from the target point, which in turn leads to unnecessary adjustments The wellbore trajectory increases the dogleg degree unnecessarily, the wellbore trajectory is not smooth, and even makes the project impossible to implement

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of drilling exploration and development, in particular to a horizontal well inclination section geosteering method. The horizontal well inclination sectiongeosteering method can preferably predicate a target spot height above sea level depth on an inclination section to enable a real drilling track to land smoothly. According to the technical scheme, the horizontal well inclination section geosteering method comprises four steps that 1) basic data and following drill data are collected; 2) the target spot height above sea level depth is predicatedby integrated utilizing an adjoining well correlation method and a synthesis method, and different weights are obtained as evidence in different locations of the inclination section; 3) the real drilling track is guided to drill; and 4) a step A2 and a step A3 are repeated until the inclination section is completed. The horizontal well inclination section geosteering method has the beneficial effects that unnecessary adjusting well track can be reduced, a fixed error that is brought by the synthesis method can be eliminated, more preferably predicting of target spot height above sea level depth H is realized, and landing smoothly of a final well track is benefited.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drilling exploration and development of oil and natural gas, and relates to a geosteering method for a deflection section of a horizontal well. Background technique [0002] Horizontal wells are high-investment projects. Usually, sufficient geological and engineering research will be done before the actual drilling, and there will be a detailed design plan, which has a clear understanding of the drilling purpose, regional geology, seismic, comparison wells, and target wells. The description has clear requirements on the spatial relationship between the horizontal well trajectory and the stratum it traverses. However, the underground geological conditions are complex, and this design scheme is only an idealized scheme, which is more or less far from the actual geological conditions. [0003] The value of horizontal well geosteering lies in: on the basis of fully understanding the design scheme, combined w...
