Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of electromagnetic induction and linear source combination's post casing reservoir radial remote high-precision detection method and system, belong to oil reservoir detection technical field. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of oil exploitation, due to a large number of water injection, oil layer will appear different degree of water flooding, water injection layer subsidence or wellbore collapse and other problems, which seriously affect the recovery efficiency. Therefore, for the post casing well in the later stage of exploitation, it is necessary to timely grasp the reservoir information outside the casing, especially the oil-water distribution and water injection front, and accurately interpret and evaluate it, to provide theoretical guidance for further development of reservoir, and then increase the oil production efficiency and reduce the oil production cost.

[0003] At present, there are many technical researches on the monitoring of post casing reservoir at home and abroad, which are introduced as follows:

[0004] Tracer method is the earliest method applied to the dynamic monitoring of post casing reservoir. This method needs to inject fluid containing tracer, and by analyzing the arrival time and concentration of tracer in the water sample of each production well in the whole test area, the direction, speed and direction of water injection are determined. Then, according to certain sampling regulations, the surrounding production wells are sampled to monitor the production and reservoir heterogeneity.

[0005] Seismic monitoring method uses the difference of acoustic attenuation characteristics in gas, liquid and solid, and identifies the gas swept area by detecting the acoustic attenuation and time delay characteristics caused by the intersection interface of gas enrichment area and sandstone and carbonate containing oil and water pores, which is mainly used for monitoring the gas injection front during gas injection to analyze the displacement effect and its influence on reservoir.

[0006] Potential measurement method supplies high-power current to the downhole through casing, establishes a stable artificial electric field in the reservoir, and realizes reservoir monitoring by measuring the change of surface potential. Due to the huge resistivity difference between the detected target body, injected liquid and reservoir surrounding rock, this resistivity difference will show strong repulsion or attraction to the surrounding leakage current path, so that the artificial electric field in the measured range will be distorted. If this distortion field reaches a sufficient strength to spread to the ground surface, the underground oil and gas distribution area and water swept range can be inverted by observing the change of ground potential around the well, combined with the corresponding processing technology, so as to realize the dynamic monitoring of underground reservoir.

[0007] Cross-well electromagnetic monitoring is conducted by continuously moving a high-power electromagnetic transmitter in one well and placing a series of receivers statically from top to bottom in another well. Under the excitation of low-frequency signals, a magnetic or electric dipole transmitter coil transmits electromagnetic fields into the formation. The primary field causes eddy currents to generate a secondary alternating field in turn, the strength of which is inversely proportional to the formation resistivity. The primary field and the secondary alternating field are detected at the receiver array.

[0008] Radioactive logging is currently the main means of production well logging. By testing some elements and their corresponding contents in the formation, the producing layers and non-producing layers can be determined, the remaining oil distribution in the block can be understood, the fluid interface can be detected, and the porosity can be obtained, which is an indispensable means for re-understanding the formation near the wellbore.

[0009] The through-casing resistivity logging technology for single wells started relatively late. At present, the more feasible resistivity logging technologies mainly include the leakage current method, the transient electromagnetic method and the line source method. These methods have different principles, and the common difficulty they face is how to correct the influence of the non-uniformity of the casing, cement sheath and formation on the through-casing resistivity measurement results.

[0010] The above casing reservoir resistivity test method has certain effect, but has some shortcomings in application. The tracer method has the shortcomings of complex test process, long test period and lagged test result. The seismic method is difficult to adapt to the monitoring of injected water because the influence of injected water and formation water on acoustic wave is basically the same. Therefore, the seismic reservoir monitoring is mainly used for monitoring the gas drive effect, and the drive front is determined by comparing the time delay amplitude attenuation before and after gas injection. The potential method requires the whole test to be carried out in stages, that is, the background potential is tested before water (gas) injection, and then the potential is measured in stages during the injection process, so the dynamic monitoring of the reservoir under study is realized by the change rule of the potential in different stages. Similar to the seismic method, the potential method requires the whole test to be carried out in stages, that is, the background potential is tested before water (gas) injection, and then the potential is measured in stages during the injection process, so the method is also difficult to adapt to the monitoring of injected water. The specific measurement parameters of the interwell electromagnetic measurement system are related to well spacing, transmitter and receiver interval, casing type, working frequency and noise and other factors. At present, the practical technology is still very limited. Among the single-well measurement methods, the more feasible resistivity logging technologies mainly include the leakage current method and the transient electromagnetic method. The two methods have different principles, and the common difficulty they face is how to correct the influence of the non-homogeneity of casing, cement ring and formation on the casing resistivity measurement results. The leakage current method mainly improves the accuracy of the interpretation results by studying complex interpretation methods, which is extremely difficult. The transient electromagnetic method uses non-contact electromagnetic induction, does not need focusing and can measure continuously, but the transient electromagnetic method is easily affected by casing damage, perforation and the like, which will make the formed magnetic field more disordered, especially for long-distance detection, the influence will be more obvious. The line source method has a longer detection distance, but has low resolution for the nearby reservoir. SUMMARY

[0011] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a casing reservoir radial long-distance high-precision detection method and system combining electromagnetic induction and line source, which can further improve the accuracy of casing reservoir resistivity monitoring by combining electromagnetic induction and line source to interpret reservoir resistivity.

[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, a method for high-precision radial long-distance detection of reservoirs behind casing using a combination of electromagnetic induction and line source methods is disclosed. First, electromagnetic induction is used to measure the reservoir resistivity near the casing. However, since the electromagnetic received signal is an exponential signal that decays over time, its late-stage signal is usually very weak. Even if the late-stage signal contains information about distant reservoirs, it is difficult to extract effective test information. To address this problem, a line source detection method is used to measure the medium information at a distance outside the casing. The casing body is used as a line current source, and the oil-water distribution characteristics in the underground reservoir are obtained by measuring the downhole potential distribution. Finally, the near-field resistivity measured by electromagnetic induction and the far-field resistivity measured by the line source method are jointly interpreted to solve the problems of low resolution in near-field line source measurements and weak signal strength in far-field electromagnetic induction measurements, thus achieving high-precision radial long-distance inversion interpretation of the reservoir behind casing.

[0055] Correspondingly, some other embodiments of the present invention provide a high-precision radial long-distance detection system for reservoirs that combines electromagnetic induction with a line source.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for high-precision radial long-distance detection of reservoirs after casing, including the following steps:

[0058] 1) The joint detection mechanism of electromagnetic induction method and line source method is analyzed, and a layered columnar model of combined detection of back-cascade reservoir using electromagnetic induction and line source is established.

[0059] 2) Based on the layered columnar model of the combined detection of the back-casing reservoir, the excitation of the electromagnetic probe and the line source is designed, and the radial long-distance detection results of the back-casing reservoir at different detection depths are obtained.

[0060] 3) The radial long-distance detection results of the reservoir after casing at different detection depths are imaged to obtain the distribution of the water injection front and oil-water interface.

[0061] Preferably, in step 1) above, such as Figure 2 As shown, the stratigraphic columnar model for combined casing and reservoir exploration includes a casing, a cement sheath, and a reservoir arranged sequentially from the inside out. An electromagnetic induction module is located in the middle of the casing. This module includes a magnetic core and arrayed electromagnetic transmitting and receiving coils wound around the outer wall of the magnetic core. The arrayed electromagnetic transmitting coils are used to apply a bipolar step signal, and the arrayed electromagnetic receiving coils are used to acquire secondary field signals. A line source detection module is located on the inner wall of the casing. This module includes an excitation electrode, a grounding electrode, and an arrayed measuring electrode. The excitation electrode is used to apply an alternating current, and the arrayed measuring electrode is used to measure the electric field response along the formation direction.

[0062] In this embodiment, in the electromagnetic induction module, since the secondary field signal exhibits an exponential decay trend over time and contains a large amount of information related to the outer medium, the relevant physical parameters of the outer reservoir can be interpreted by analyzing the secondary field signal. In the line source detection module, when an alternating current is applied to the transmitting sleeve (i.e., the excitation electrode) via a cable, electromagnetic waves propagate through the uniform formation according to the principle of electromagnetic induction. The electric field response along the formation direction is measured by the array of measuring electrodes. Since the measured electric field signal contains rich information about the outer reservoir, the purpose of reservoir detection can be achieved by analyzing the measured potential.

[0063] Preferably, in step 2) above, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method for obtaining radial long-range detection results of the reservoir at different detection depths includes the following steps:

[0064] 2.1) Obtain the radius of the medium at a certain detection depth of the reservoir behind the casing.

[0065] The radii of different media are related to the medium information of the detected reservoir section, and can be represented as r = r1, r2, ..., r from the inner layer to the outer layer. t ,r t+1 In this embodiment, r = r1, r2, ..., r t The region is considered as the reservoir near the casing, i.e., the near-zone, where r = r t ,r t+1 The area is considered as the reservoir far from the casing, i.e., the far zone.

[0066] 2.2) Based on the stratigraphic columnar model of the combined exploration of the reservoir after the casing, the electromagnetic probe and the line source excitation are designed, and the near-field resistivity is obtained by electromagnetic method and the far-field resistivity is obtained by line source method.

[0067] 2.3) Locate the interface between near-field resistivity and far-field resistivity, and stitch together the monitoring results of near-field resistivity and far-field resistivity to obtain the radial long-distance detection results of the reservoir after the detection depth.

[0068] 2.4) Repeat steps 2.1) to 2.3) to perform imaging based on the obtained radial long-distance detection results of the reservoir after casing at different detection depths, and obtain the distribution of the water injection front and oil-water interface.

[0069] Preferably, in step 2.2) above, obtaining the near-field resistivity using the electromagnetic method refers to obtaining the reservoir near the casing using the electromagnetic method, i.e., the medium with radii r1, r2, ..., r. t The average resistivity of the regional reservoir is used as the near-field resistivity. Since the received response of the electromagnetic coil exhibits an exponentially decaying curve over time, and the diffusion time of the electromagnetic eddy current corresponds to different reservoir radii, and the signals at different observation times correspond to medium information at different reservoir radii, r can be determined based on the signal changes corresponding to different observation times. t .

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0071] 2.2.1) Set the emission mode of the array transmitting coil of the electromagnetic induction module so that its emitted magnetic field is focused at the set detection depth to improve the longitudinal monitoring resolution;

[0072] 2.2.2) Determine the weight vector corresponding to the array electromagnetic receiving coil according to the different transmit and receive distances, that is, array weighting, in order to improve the monitoring signal-to-noise ratio;

[0073] 2.2.3) Calculate the induced electromotive force of a single electromagnetic receiving coil, and then weight the induced electromotive forces of all electromagnetic receiving coils based on their corresponding weight vectors to obtain the average resistivity of the reservoir at different medium radii at the detection depth.

[0074] Preferably, in step 2.2.3) above, the method for calculating the induced electromotive force of a single electromagnetic receiving coil includes:

[0075] First, calculate the frequency domain induced electromotive force of the nth electromagnetic receiving coil, which can be expressed as:

[0076]

[0077] Where, f(λ,r,ω,ρ) n Let ξ be a variable related to the information of the measured medium, and let ξ be a constant variable, expressed as:

[0078] f(λ,r,ω,ρ n )=x1C1I0(x1r) (2)

[0079] ξ=μ1N R N T I T / π (3)

[0080] In the formula, ω is the angular frequency, z n For the transmit / receive distance, ρ n Let be the reservoir resistivity corresponding to the observation position of the nth receiving coil, i be the imaginary unit, r1 be the radius of the transmitting coil, μ1 be the permeability of the transmitting coil, r be the radius of the measured medium outside the casing, x1 and λ be introduced variables, C1 be undetermined coefficients, I0() be the first-order 0th-order corrected Bessel function, and N be the reservoir resistivity corresponding to the observation position of the nth receiving coil, i be the imaginary unit, r1 be the radius of the transmitting coil, μ1 be the permeability of the transmitting coil, r be the radius of the measured medium outside the casing, x1 and λ be introduced variables, C1 be the undetermined coefficients, I0() be the first-order 0th-order corrected Bessel function, and N be the radius of the measured medium outside the casing. T and N R The number of turns of the electromagnetic transmitting coil and the electromagnetic receiving coil are respectively, I T This is the emission current.

[0081] Secondly, assume the turn-off time of the oblique step signal is t. of Then, by using the P-order GS inverse Laplace transform, equation (1) can be transformed to the time domain, and the time-domain induced electromotive force of the nth electromagnetic receiving coil can be obtained as:

[0082]

[0083] In the formula, iω=pln2 / t, t and D p Let z represent the observation time and the integral coefficients of the inverse Laplace transform of GS, respectively. n ρ represents the transmit / receive distance of the nth receiving coil. n denoted as the reservoir resistivity corresponding to the observation position of the nth receiving coil; p is the order of the inverse Laplace transform of GS, and Dp is the integral coefficient of the inverse Laplace transform of GS.

[0084] Preferably, in step 2.2) above, obtaining the far-field resistivity using the line source method refers to obtaining the reservoir far from the casing using the line source method, i.e., the medium radius is r. t,r t+1 The stratified resistivity of the reservoir in the region is used as the far-field resistivity.

[0085] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is a simplified representation of the wire source detection module. Since the casing diameter is much smaller than the casing length, the casing can be treated as a wire current source. For a single measuring electrode, the measured potential value mainly consists of two parts: first, a dominant uniform electric field formed around the casing well, which is cylindrically symmetrical and can be calculated based on fundamental electric field theory; second, the abnormal electric field distribution caused by the non-uniform resistivity of the oil-bearing layer, specifically the repulsion of current lines by high-resistivity regions and the attraction of current lines by low-resistivity regions, both of which cause anomalies in potential measurement.

[0086] 2.2.1) Calculate the theoretical potential value at each medium radius.

[0087] The theoretical potential value V is decomposed into the sum of the normal field (background field) potential value Vn and the abnormal value Va, i.e.

[0088] V = Vn + Va (5)

[0089] The normal field potential value Vn can be calculated based on the normal value of the vertical line current source in the half-space medium, that is:

[0090]

[0091] In the formula, ρ is the average resistivity of the monitoring area, and I L For the supply current, l L s is the length of the line source, d is the radial distance from the measuring electrode to the line source, and d is the depth of the measuring electrode.

[0092] The abnormal potential Va can be obtained numerically, for example, by constructing a sparse linear system of equations, i.e.

[0093] HVa=Q (7)

[0094] In the formula, H is a sparse matrix and Q is the residual potential vector, both of which are known quantities.

[0095] 2.2.2) The residual potential value is obtained by subtracting the theoretical potential value and the measured potential value at different media radii. The residual resistivity, i.e., the far-field resistivity, is then calculated based on the residual potential value at different media radii.

[0096] Based on the relationship between potential and resistivity, the residual potential value ΔV can be converted into the residual resistivity Δρ, as follows:

[0097]

[0098] In the formula, W is the coefficient of the reservoir monitoring device based on the linear source.
