Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of well logging data evaluation, and in particular to a fluid property identification method based on reservoir anisotropy. Background Art
[0002] Reservoir fluid property evaluation is the most important task in reservoir evaluation. This evaluation using well logging data is influenced by factors such as reservoir lithology, physical properties, and anisotropy. Reservoir fluid property evaluation has always been a key and challenging area in the field of well logging data evaluation technology. The continuous development of new methods and technologies is crucial for this purpose.
[0003] At present, there are many methods for identifying reservoir fluid properties in the field of logging data evaluation: such as the methods mentioned in the patent "Method for Distinguishing Reservoir Fluid Types Using Resistivity Data (CN101930082B)", the patent "Method for Distinguishing Reservoir Fluid Types by Using the Difference Between Acoustic Porosity and Neutron Porosity (CN101787884B)", the patent "Method for Distinguishing Reservoir Fluid Types by Using the Difference Between Density Porosity and Neutron Porosity (CN101832133B)", and the patent "A Reservoir Fluid Identification Method (CN102913240B)".
[0004] These methods are generally calibrated using regional empirical data and experimental results. However, in some new exploration wells, where there are no corresponding reference results, the accuracy of fluid property identification using these methods is reduced. Furthermore, existing fluid property identification methods are difficult to identify in complex oil and gas reservoir environments, such as low contrast and low resistivity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for identifying fluid properties based on reservoir anisotropy to solve the limitations and shortcomings of existing methods for identifying reservoir fluid properties using logging data. The method of using three-component induction data and cross-dipole acoustic wave data to identify reservoir fluid properties in this scheme can solve the difficulties of existing technologies in identifying fluid properties under complex oil and gas reservoir conditions such as low contrast and low resistivity.
[0006] Currently, well logging data can be used to evaluate acoustic anisotropy using cross-dipole acoustic data, and resistivity anisotropy using three-component induction data. Reservoir anisotropy can be manifested as: acoustic anisotropy caused by structural anisotropy and resistivity anisotropy caused by fluid distribution. The correlation and difference between the two can be used to evaluate reservoir fluid properties, especially solving the problem of the inability of existing fluid property identification methods to accurately identify gas and water layers in the reservoir.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S3, the relationship factor between acoustic anisotropy and resistivity anisotropy is the anisotropic fluid identification factor , The formula is: , >0.
[0020] Furthermore, in step S4, the relationship between the relationship factor and the reservoir fluid properties is: When , the reservoir fluid property is gas-water layer; when When , the reservoir fluid properties are gas layer, water layer or dry layer.
[0021] Furthermore, in step S4, the method for identifying the fluid properties of the reservoir to be measured using the relationship factors includes the following steps:
[0022] a3. Obtain cross-dipole acoustic data and three-component induction logging data of the reservoir to be measured, and after processing, obtain fast shear wave time difference, slow shear wave time difference, longitudinal resistivity and transverse resistivity of the reservoir to be measured;

Figure 2-6 yes Figure 1 Partially enlarged diagrams of “conventional logging curves”, “acoustic anisotropy”, “electrical anisotropy”, “standard anisotropy” and “fluid identification factor”. Figure 6 It can be seen that the 1# reservoir The value is between -0.16 and 0.81. δ The value is higher than 0.2 in some sections, indicating that gas and water coexist in the reservoir, and the comprehensive interpretation is that it is a gas-water layer; δ The value is between -0.45 and 0.36. δ The value is higher than 0.2 in some sections of the well, indicating that the reservoir also contains gas and water layers.
