Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pre-detection well logging, and in particular to a pre-detection while drilling electromagnetic wave antenna system and a measurement method. Background Art
[0002] According to its measurement principle, the resistivity pre-detection logging technology while drilling can be divided into: lateral current resistivity logging while drilling and electromagnetic wave logging while drilling.
[0003] Existing LWD lateral current resistivity logging tools and related technologies primarily include the RAB, GVR, and MicroScope instruments released by Schlumberger in 1993, 1998, and 2008, respectively, and the newly developed AFR (azimuthally focused resistivity) tool by Halliburton. These instruments utilize the principle of current lateral measurement to perform lateral resistivity, drill bit resistivity, and resistivity imaging. Their drill bit resistivity offers forward-looking detection capabilities, but the depth of detection is relatively shallow, with a forward-looking measurement range generally limited to less than 1.2 meters. In China, the China Petroleum Drilling Research Institute launched the NBRt near-bit resistivity tool in 2003, which also offers forward-looking drill bit resistivity measurements within a range similar to those of international LWD lateral current resistivity logging tools.
[0004] Of the existing pre-drilling electromagnetic logging tools, the only one currently available is Schlumberger's EMLA, launched in 2016 and later renamed IriSphere. IriSphere consists of a tilted transmitting antenna and two to three receiving sections, each with three orthogonal tilted receiving antennas. The total length of the instrument is over 23 meters.
[0005] The existing LWD resistivity pre-probe logging instruments have the following main shortcomings: the existing LWD lateral current resistivity logging instruments have a limited detection range and a short pre-probe distance; the existing LWD pre-probe electromagnetic wave logging instrument combination is too long, and the measurement signal is greatly affected by the bending and vibration of the drill collar, which is not conducive to drilling inclination and poses a high safety risk to on-site construction operations.

Through geometric factor calculation, the stratum information at different depths in front of the drill bit can be accurately extracted.
[0044] In summary, the electromagnetic wave antenna system and measurement method for pre-drilling detection described in the present invention propose an antenna system with a front short section connected to a remote detection instrument, which can realize the function of pre-drilling detection at a large distance ahead of the drill bit. Multiple groups of receiving antennas with different source distances ensure that they can receive electromagnetic wave responses within different ranges of the surrounding space, so that information about undrilled formations at different depths ahead of the drill bit can be obtained through geometric factors. Conventional receiving antenna pairs can measure the resistivity near the wellbore. Using the antenna system described in the present invention, the resistivity of the formation at different detection depths can be measured separately. Through data processing and geometric factor calculation, the interface in the undrilled formation, the conductivity on both sides of the interface, and the distance between the instrument and the interface can be predicted. In formations with a resistivity contrast of 1:100, the pre-drilling distance is over 10 meters. The application of the present invention can help solve difficult problems such as precise landing in complex reservoir drilling, eliminating pilot wells, improving the drilling rate, controlling drilling risks, optimizing reservoirs, and realizing comprehensive and detailed evaluation of oil reservoirs.

[0067] Direct measurement of signal G n (σ,F) represents the sum of all spatial contributions from the front, back, and sides of the instrument within a certain range. For different transmit and receive antenna combinations, G n Each region of the received space (σ,F) contributes differently to the total response, and its measurement signal coefficient can be expressed by δ.
[0068] With the system of the present invention, the detection range of the measurement signal G1(σ, F) of the first transmitting antenna-receiving antenna combination is large, and the detection range of the measurement signals G2(σ, F), G3(σ, F)...G of the second, third...n transmitting antenna-receiving antenna combinations is large. n The detection range of (σ,F) decreases in sequence, and the signal coefficient δ is measured according to each set of transmitting and receiving antennas. n and directly measure the signal G n (σ,F) is used to calculate the forward detection signal Fw at different detection depths n According to the forward signal Fw n Calculate the forward distance LA n .
[0069] Further, according to Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the measurement signal G1(σ, F) of the first transmitting antenna-receiving antenna combination has a larger detection range. The measurement signal is the sum of the responses from layer 1 and layer 2, but the contributions of layer 1 and layer 2 are different. Similarly, the measurement signals G2(σ, F), G3(σ, F)...G n The (σ, F) detection range decreases successively, and the measured signal is also the sum of the responses from formations 1 and 2, except that the contribution from formation 2 is greater. Formation 1 is a drilled formation, and its resistivity can be measured.
[0070] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, through the geometric factor, 90% of the contribution is in the equipotential surface of the drilling direction. Let the source distance between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna be L, then Figure 3 The equipotential surface in the drilling direction is at 2L. Calculate the measurement signal coefficients of each set of transmitting and receiving antennas, namely G1(σ,F), G2(σ,F), G3(σ,F)...G n Coefficients δ1, δ2, δ3...δ of (σ,F) n .

[0072] Furthermore, the measurement signal with a larger detection depth is subtracted from the measurement signal with a smaller detection depth, and the coefficient of the measurement signal is calculated by the three-dimensional geometric factor. The forward detection signal reflects the distance between the instrument and the interface, as well as the formation resistivity at different detection depths on both sides of the interface. n (σ,F) and δ n Calculate the forward detection signal Fw at different detection depths n The calculation formula is as follows:

[0081] Wherein, n represents the nth group of transmitting antenna-receiving antenna combination, n=1, 2, 3...n; G n (σ,F) is the measured voltage, which represents the contribution of the signals received by the nth group of transmitting antennas and receiving antennas to the total response; the δ is the different detection depths, which represents G n(σ, F) is the difference in contribution of the received signal at each location in the space to the total response; the Fw n It is the forward signal, indicating G n (σ,F) is the distance signal from the front end of the detection range to the instrument drill head.
[0082] Furthermore, the forward signal Fw n Calculate the front detection distance LA n , the 10% change of the measurement signal is used as the criterion for identifying the undrilled formation, that is, Fw n The boundary distance corresponding to a 10% change in the curve is LA n .
[0083] The present invention will be further described with reference to specific embodiments.
[0084] Taking the present invention as an example of vertical well drilling in two layers of strata, Figure 5 As shown, using the antenna system of the present invention, the detection range of the measurement signal G1 (σ, F) of the first transmitting antenna-receiving antenna combination is larger, and the measurement signal is the sum of the responses from formation 1 and formation 2, except that the contributions of formation 1 and formation 2 are different. Similarly, the detection range of the measurement signals G2 (σ, F), G3 (σ, F), and G4 (σ, F) of the second, third, and fourth transmitting antenna-receiving antenna combinations is smaller, and the measurement signal is also the sum of the responses from formation 1 and formation 2, except that the contribution of formation 2 is greater. Formation 1 is a drilled formation, and its resistivity can be measured, and then the conductivity can be calculated based on the inverse of the resistivity. Through the equipotential surface with 90% contribution of the geometric factor in the drilling direction, let the source distance between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna be L, then Figure 3 The equipotential surface in the drilling direction is at 2L. Calculate the geometric factor weights of each group of transmitting and receiving antennas, that is, the coefficients δ1, δ2, δ3, and δ4 of G1(σ, F), G2(σ, F), G3(σ, F), and G4(σ, F). Then, the forward detection signals at different detection depths can be obtained:

[0088]
[0089] The forward signal of the instrument's third detection depth:
[0090]
[0091] The instrument's forward signal at the fourth detection depth:
[0092]
[0093] Combine Figure 4 , through the geometric factor 90% contribution in the drilling direction of the equipotential surface, the source distance between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna is L, further, according to the forward signal Fw n The measurement signal change of 10% is used as the criterion for identifying undrilled formations, that is, Fw n The boundary distance corresponding to a 10% change in the curve is LA n , n=1,2,3,4.
[0094] Figure 6 In a 1:100 single-interface formation, the resistivities on both sides of the interface are 1Ω·m and 100Ω·m respectively. The conductivity σ can be obtained based on the resistivity, and the forward exploration curves Fw1, Fw2, Fw3, and Fw4 of the four detection depths are further obtained. Among them, Fw1 has the largest detection depth and is the first to predict the existence of the interface. Taking a 10% change in the measurement signal as the criterion for identifying undrilled formations, the forward detection distance of Fw1 is greater than 10m. Since Fw1 has the largest detection range, the resistivity Rt1 of the first underground layer is greatly affected by the resistivity Rt2 of the second underground layer, that is, the conductivity σ1 of the first underground layer is greatly affected by the conductivity σ2 of the second underground layer. Taking the measurement signal Fw n A change of 10% is used as the criterion for identifying undrilled formations, that is, Fw n The boundary distance corresponding to a 10% change in the curve is LA n .
