The data acquisition amount in the target well section is determined in a targeted manner, which effectively saves computing power. The cement sheath isolation capacity of the target well section is obtained according to formula (3) determined by the correlation coefficient for the target well section obtained through experiments. While accurately evaluating the cement sheath isolation capacity of the target well section in a digital manner, the evaluation efficiency of the cement sheath gas isolation capacity is further improved.
[0044] Furthermore, a closed space matching the gas wellbore structure is configured to obtain a cement ring test piece, and a cement ring of corresponding cementing quality is simulated. The cement ring isolation length and cementing quality are comprehensively considered to determine the cement ring isolation capacity expression in a targeted manner. Cementing quality is a key factor affecting the cement ring isolation capacity. In actual scenarios, a gas well is composed of cement rings of different lengths and cementation characterization parameters. The present invention conducts a targeted evaluation of the cement ring isolation capacity under different well conditions, effectively ensuring the safe and efficient development of oil and gas fields.
[0045] Furthermore, through simulation experiments, the downhole temperature and pressure conditions during on-site cementing were simulated, and the gas isolation capacity of the cement sheath under different heights and different cementing quality conditions was tested.

[0060] Specifically, the preparation method of the formation rock ring is not limited. It can be understood that the purpose of preparing the formation rock ring is to simulate the formation structure of the target well section. Technical personnel in this field can collect soil materials from the formation where the target well section is located, and make the soil materials into an annular structure to obtain the formation rock ring.
[0061] Specifically, the structure of the closed space is not limited, and a temperature control device for adjusting the temperature and a pressure pump for adjusting the pressure in the closed space are arranged inside, which will not be elaborated here.
[0062] Specifically, there is no specific limitation on the device for detecting the sound amplitude, and it can be a sound amplitude detection instrument, which will not be described in detail here.
[0063] Specifically, several cement ring test pieces that meet the requirements of field gas wells are obtained, and the specific parameters of each cement ring are obtained through experiments, including the cement sealing capacity of the corresponding bonding characterization parameters at different heights. The obtained parameters are substituted into the cement ring sealing capacity expression to obtain the correlation coefficient for the field gas wells, thereby determining the cement ring sealing capacity expression for the field gas wells, and evaluating the gas sealing capacity of the cement ring in a digital way, thereby improving the evaluation accuracy of the cement ring gas sealing capacity.
[0064] Specifically, in step S2, the process of obtaining the sound amplitude values of different detection points at predetermined intervals to determine the discrete amount of the gradient sound amplitude includes:
[0065] Acquire the sound amplitude value of each detection point, calculate the variance of each sound amplitude value, and determine the obtained variance as the gradient sound amplitude discrete amount;
[0066] Wherein, each of the detection points is arranged at the predetermined intervals perpendicular to the ground direction.
[0067] Specifically, in step S2, the process of determining the gradient layout interval of the detection points includes:
[0068] Determine the gradient layout interval for a single cement sheath test piece based on the discrete amount of gradient acoustic amplitude;

[0076] Specifically, the gradient acoustic amplitude discrete quantity of the cement ring test piece is determined. The gradient acoustic amplitude discrete quantity characterizes the stability of the bonding of the cement ring test piece prepared according to the on-site gas wellbore structure. In the actual preparation process, different formation rock structures will have different effects on the bonding degree of the cement ring test piece. According to the bonding stability of the cement ring test piece, the gradient layout interval for a single cement ring test piece is determined to adjust the data acquisition amount for the cement ring test piece, so as to improve the accuracy of the bonding characterization parameters and further improve the evaluation efficiency of the gas isolation capacity of the cement ring.
[0077] Specifically, in step S2, the process of calculating the bonding characterization parameter includes:
[0078] Solve the average value of each cementation characterization component to obtain the cementation characterization parameter;
[0079] The cementation characterization component is calculated according to formula (1):

[0093] A detection point is set in the target well section with the corresponding gradient layout interval mean value and the acoustic amplitude is detected at the corresponding detection point. It can be understood that the spacing between each detection point is an integer multiple of the gradient layout interval mean value;
[0094] Solving cementation characterization parameters of several monitoring sections of the target well section based on the acoustic amplitude value of each detection point;
[0095] The monitoring section includes detection points. It can be understood that the length of the monitoring section can be the same as the interval between the detection points, and the detection points are located in the middle of the monitoring section.
[0096] Specifically, the adjacent monitoring sections that meet the screening conditions are determined as a single analysis section, and the cement sheath isolation capacity of the target well section is determined based on the cementation characterization parameters and length of each analysis section;
[0097] Wherein, the screening condition includes that the difference ratio of the bonding characterization parameters of adjacent monitoring sections is less than a predetermined difference ratio threshold.
[0098] Specifically, the process of obtaining the difference ratio of the bonding characterization parameters of adjacent monitoring sections is to calculate the absolute value of the difference of the bonding characterization parameters of adjacent monitoring sections, solve the ratio of the absolute value to the larger of the two bonding characterization parameters, and obtain the difference ratio of the bonding characterization parameters.
[0099] Specifically, the threshold value of the difference ratio of cementation characterization parameters is selected in the interval [0.2, 0.3].
[0100] Specifically, each adjacent monitoring section with the same cementation characterization parameter is determined as a single analysis section, and the cement sheath isolation capacity of the target well section is determined based on the cementation characterization parameter and length of each analysis section.
[0101] Specifically, in step S6, the cement sheath isolation capacity of the target well section is determined according to formula (3);
[0102]
[0103] Where: Pf is the cement sheath isolation capacity of the target well section, C i is the cementation characterization parameter of the i-th analysis section, i = 1, 2, 3, ... n, n is the total number of analysis sections, h i is the length of the i-th analysis segment.
[0104] Specifically, the cement sheath isolation capacity of the target well section is obtained according to formula (3) determined by the correlation coefficient for the target well section obtained through experiments. While accurately evaluating the cement sheath isolation capacity of the target well section in a digital way, the evaluation efficiency of the cement sheath gas isolation capacity is further improved.

The gas injection pressure at the moment of failure was recorded as 1.6 MPa, and the cement sheath isolation capacity when the bonding characterization parameter C3=0.42 was recorded as 1.6 MPa.
[0112] Taking the bonding characterization parameter C4=0.19 of the high-quality cement sheath test piece as an example, high-pressure nitrogen was injected into the bottom of the cement sheath using a closed space, and the pressure was gradually increased in a step-by-step manner until the cement sheath interface was broken through by the gas pressure. The gas injection pressure at the moment of failure was recorded as 0.7 MPa, and the cement sheath isolation capacity when the bonding characterization parameter C4=0.19 was recorded as 0.7 MPa.

[0118] Substituting the experimental data into the cement sheath isolation capacity expression (2),
[0119] It is found that a=2, b=0.003, d=1.82, e=0.025.
[0120] Substituting the solved correlation coefficients into the cement sheath isolation capacity expression (2), the cement sheath isolation capacity expression for the target well section of the gas wellbore structure is obtained as follows:
