Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of geophysical technology, and particularly relates to a method and system for rock physics modeling of overpressure formation considering multiple pore media. BACKGROUND

[0002] Overpressure formation refers to the fluid pressure (i.e., pore pressure) in the pores of the formation being significantly higher than the normal hydrostatic pressure. Normally, the pore pressure of the formation is proportional to the depth of the formation and increases with the increase of the depth. However, in the overpressure formation, the pore pressure is much higher than the expected hydrostatic pressure due to some special factors. The overpressure formation often has a higher porosity and reservoir volume, because during the deposition of the formation, the fluid fails to be completely discharged, resulting in the pore space of the reservoir being filled with fluid. This "filling" enables the overpressure reservoir to store more oil and gas. At the same time, due to the overpressure effect, they have stronger sealing property in the formation and are not easy to leak, which helps to maintain the long-term stability of the oil and gas resources. Therefore, the study of overpressure reservoirs is of great significance to oil and gas exploration and development.

[0003] Rock physics modeling is a bridge connecting the physical parameters and elastic parameters of the connected reservoir, and can establish a mapping relationship with the seismic data. Through the rock physics model, the prediction of the P-wave and S-wave velocities can be realized, and the sensitive parameters of the reservoir can be better identified. At present, the traditional rock physics model has less discussion on the influence of pressure, and the research on the overpressure reservoir is also mainly focused on the overpressure formation mechanism and the prediction of pore pressure.

[0045] Overpressure formation refers to the fluid pressure in the formation pores (i.e. pore pressure) being significantly higher than the normal hydrostatic pressure. Normally, the pore pressure of the formation is proportional to the depth of the formation and increases with the increase of the depth. However, in overpressure formation, the pore pressure is much higher than the expected hydrostatic pressure due to some special factors. Overpressure formation often has a higher porosity and reservoir volume, because during the deposition of the formation, the fluid fails to completely drain, resulting in the pore space of the reservoir being filled with fluid. This "filling" enables overpressure reservoirs to store more oil and gas. At the same time, due to the overpressure effect, they have stronger sealing properties in the formation and are not prone to leakage, which helps to maintain the long-term stability of oil and gas resources. Therefore, the study of overpressure reservoirs is of great significance to oil and gas exploration and development.

[0046] Rock physics modeling is a bridge between connected reservoir physical parameters and elastic parameters, which can establish a mapping relationship with seismic data. Through rock physics modeling, the prediction of P-wave and S-wave velocity can be realized, and the sensitive parameters of the reservoir can be better identified. At present, the traditional rock physics model has less discussion on the influence of pressure, and the research on overpressure reservoirs is also mainly focused on the overpressure formation mechanism and pore pressure prediction.

[0047] The research shows that there are few patents and more literatures about the rock physics modeling of overpressure reservoirs, and the effective medium theory is the theoretical basis for studying the rock physics model. Budiansky (1965) first proposed the self-consistent model (SCA), Kuster and Toksoz (1974) derived the two-phase equivalent medium model, namely the K-T model, from the first-order scattering theory, Cleary et al. (1980) established a two-phase equivalent medium model (DEM) suitable for the two-phase equivalent medium model, Xu and White (1995) established a theoretical model of mudstone, combined with the K-T model and the DEM model, and used the pore aspect ratio to divide the muddy pores and the sandy pores. The related research on the influence of pressure in the reservoir is mainly based on rock physics experiments. Mavko and Mukerji (1995) first proposed the pore space stiffness theory to describe the compressibility of the pore space, and Yunmei (2001) fitted the relationship between the dry rock modulus and the sandstone porosity, the mud content, the effective pressure, the temperature and the dry rock modulus. Russel (2013) combined the pore stiffness theory and the Gassmann equation to establish a rock physics model, and Liu Jun et al. (2019) obtained the relationship between the P-wave and S-wave velocities and the pressure of deep clastic rocks through experiments. In the current research, there are many studies on rock physics modeling. For the rock physics modeling process of overpressure formation, the influence of formation pressure is considered by using the pore space stiffness theory, and the mud content is used to estimate the mudstone pore content and then replace all the flexible pores. Different scholars have also proposed their own empirical theoretical models, but the flexible pores in different research areas are affected by the formation pressure, and need to be adjusted according to the actual situation of the research area. Therefore, how to reasonably represent the proportion of flexible pores and rigid pores, and establish a multiple-pore medium rock physics model considering the influence of pressure in overpressure formation is a problem to be solved at present.

[0048] In view of the above problems, the present application shows a kind of overpressure formation rock physics modeling method considering multiple-pore medium, on the basis of predicting formation pore pressure, bound water pore and bound water pore are added to rock skeleton, and the content of flexible pore and rigid pore is calculated, different pore case is added fluid, to improve the accuracy and reliability of model velocity prediction result.

[0050] In some embodiments, the method for rock physics modeling of overpressured formations considering multiple porous media includes:

[0051] S1: Construct rock skeleton; wherein, in step S1, set the initial bulk modulus (K i0 ) and initial shear modulus (μ i0 ), the Voigt-Reuss-Hill model was used to determine the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton (K m0 ) and shear modulus (μ m0 ). Furthermore, the initial modulus of each component of the rock can be estimated based on the logging data, and the rock skeleton can be constructed based on the VRH model. In this embodiment, the measured data of the research block (in this example, the mineral content changes with depth as shown in Figure 3 ), and obtain the mineral content (Vi) and density (ρ i ), porosity (ф0), permeability (p) and longitudinal and shear wave velocities (vp, vs) and other logging curves. According to the mineral composition of the rock skeleton, the initial quartz bulk modulus is given as 39GPa, shear modulus: 30GPa, clay bulk modulus: 46GPa, shear modulus: 19GPa, calcite bulk modulus: 30GPa, shear modulus: 22GPa. The bulk modulus of the rock skeleton (K) is calculated using the Voigt-Reuss-Hill model. m0 ) and shear modulus (μ m0 ), the rock skeleton and fluid densities are calculated by multiplying the volume fraction of each component by its density and then adding the two together. In this example, the rock skeleton minerals include quartz, clay, and calcite, with clay comprising the vast majority of the rock composition. The fluids filling the pores are divided into bound water and movable fluids, with the latter comprising water, oil, and gas.

[0052] S2: adding irreducible water pores to the rock skeleton to obtain a rock skeleton containing irreducible water pores; wherein, in step S2, according to Kuster- The (KT) model adds bound water pores to the rock skeleton and sets the bound water pore aspect ratio (ɑ b0 ), calculate the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton after adding bound water (K sat-k ) and shear modulus (μ sat-k ). Preferably, bound water pores are added to the rock skeleton, according to Kuster- (KT) Bulk modulus of the model to the rock skeleton (K m0 ) and shear modulus (μ m0 ) Add the bulk modulus of bound water pores (K b =0.01GPa), shear modulus (μ b =0 GPa) and the initial bound water pore aspect ratio (ɑb1 =0.2), the bulk modulus (K sat-k ) and shear modulus (μ sat-k ) of the rock skeleton containing the bound water pores are calculated.

[0053] S3: the bound water modulus is added to the rock skeleton containing the bound water pores to obtain a rock skeleton containing the bound water modulus. In step S3, the bulk modulus (K b1 ) and shear modulus (μ b1 ) of the bound water are added to the rock skeleton containing the bound water pores obtained in step S2 by using the Patchy model, and the bulk modulus (K sat-p ) and shear modulus (μ sat-p ) of the rock skeleton containing the bound water modulus are obtained by using the ball radius (b), frequency (f), permeability (p) and saturation (s). Preferably, the bulk modulus (K sat-k ) and shear modulus (μ sat-k ) of the rock skeleton containing the bound water pores are added to the bulk modulus (K b =2.65 GPa), shear modulus (μ b =0 GPa), ball radius (b=0.1), frequency (f=5000), permeability (p) and saturation (s) of the bound water by using the Patchy model, wherein the permeability and saturation of the present embodiment are obtained from the logging curve, and the frequency is the logging frequency, and the bulk modulus (K sat-p ) and shear modulus (μ sat-p ) of the rock skeleton containing the bound water modulus are calculated.

[0054] S4: the flexible pore ratio is calculated first, and then the flexible porosity is calculated, and the flexible pore is added to the rock skeleton containing the bound water modulus to obtain a rock skeleton containing the flexible pore (or defined as a soft pore dry rock skeleton), and the flexible pore ratio is calculated and the flexible porosity is calculated; wherein the Eaton method is used to predict the formation pressure, and then the effective stress and the pressure coefficient are obtained. In the normal pressure formation, the flexible pore ratio is directly estimated by the shale content, and with the gradual increase of the depth, the flexible pore ratio gradually decreases. But in the overpressure formation, due to the increase of the formation pore pressure, the trend of the decrease of the flexible pore ratio gradually slows down, and the present application proposes formula (1) to make the flexible pore ratio be adjusted by the overlying formation pressure, hydrostatic pressure and effective stress, which is more in line with the actual situation underground.

[0055] Herein, in step S4, the flexible pore ratio is calculated according to formula (1):

[0056]

[0057] Wherein, in formula (1), S is a flexible pore ratio, A, B, C, D are constants, related to the actual formation. Pn is the difference between the overburden pressure and hydrostatic pressure, Pe is the effective stress of the formation.

[0058] After obtaining the flexible pore ratio, the flexible porosity is calculated according to formula (2):

[0059] Pors=S* Pore (2)

[0060] In formula (2), Pors is the flexible porosity, Pore is the effective porosity, obtained by well logging interpretation.

[0061] Further, the pore space stiffness theory is to describe the compressibility of the pore space structure, k is the ratio of the pore space stiffness to the bulk modulus of the rock matrix, which is usually a function of the effective stress Pe. According to the actual formation of the specific research area, it is usually described as a natural logarithm or a linear relationship. The present application improves the pore space stiffness theory, and the improved bulk modulus and shear modulus are simultaneously adjusted by the pressure coefficient and the effective stress. The bulk modulus and shear modulus of the rock containing flexible pores are calculated respectively, and the improved pore space stiffness theory is used to calculate the bulk modulus (K sat-s ) and shear modulus (μ sat-s ) of the rock skeleton containing flexible pores as shown in formula (3) and formula (4).

[0062] The bulk modulus (K sat-s ) and shear modulus (μ sat-s ) of the rock skeleton containing flexible pores are calculated according to formula (3) and formula (4) respectively:

[0063]

[0064] Wherein, A, B, C in formula (3), formula (4) are constants, related to the actual formation.

[0065] Further, as shown in Figure 4 , Eaton method is used to predict the formation pressure, which is based on the normal compaction theory to construct the normal compaction trend line, and introduces the compaction correction coefficient to calculate the pore pressure, and then obtains the pressure coefficient Pc and the effective stress Pe.

[0066] P p =p o -(p o -p h )(Δt n / Δt)n (5)

[0067] P e =P o -P p (6)

[0068]

[0069] In formula (5), Pp is the predicted pore pressure, with units of MPa; Po is the overburden pressure, with units of MPa; Ph is the hydrostatic pressure, with units of MPa;△t n is the normal compaction acoustic travel time of the formation, with units of ps / m;△t is the measured acoustic travel time, with units of ps / m; Eaton parameter n is an empirical index, which is related to the actual region, and in the present example, n = 4.2. Pe in formula (6) is the effective stress, with units of MPa. Pc in formula (7) is the pressure coefficient.

[0070] After obtaining the overburden pressure, the hydrostatic pressure, the effective stress Pe and the pressure coefficient Pc, the flexible pore ratio Pors is obtained by using the proposed flexible pore ratio calculation formula for overpressure formation. In formula (1) of the present example, A = 30, B = 10, C = -1, and D = 1. The flexible pore ratio and the rigid pore ratio with depth are obtained as shown in Figure 5 Using the improved pore space stiffness theory, in formula (3) and (4) of the present example, A = 0.7, B = -0.05, and C = 0.95, the flexible pore is added to the rock skeleton obtained in the previous step to obtain the bulk modulus (K sat-s ) and the shear modulus (μ sat-s ) of the rock skeleton after adding the flexible pore.

[0071] S5: adding rigid pores to the rock skeleton containing flexible pores to obtain a dual-pore rock skeleton (or defined as a multi-pore dry rock skeleton); in step S5, the rigid pores are added to the rock skeleton containing flexible pores by using the self-consistent (SCA) model to obtain a dual-pore rock skeleton, and the aspect ratio (ɑ h1 ) of the rigid pore, the bulk modulus and the shear modulus of the rigid pore are set to calculate the bulk modulus (K sat-h ) and the shear modulus (μ sat-h ) of the dual-pore rock skeleton. Further, by using the self-consistent (SCA) model, the aspect ratio (ɑ h1 = 0.5) of the rigid pore, the bulk modulus (K h = 0.001 Gpa) and the shear modulus (μh= 0 Gpa) of the rigid pore, and the bulk modulus (K sat-s ) and the shear modulus (μ sat-s ) of the rock skeleton after adding the flexible pore are set. The bulk modulus (K sat-h ) and the shear modulus (μ sat-h ) of the dual-pore rock skeleton are calculated.

[0072] S6: adding movable fluid into the dual-porosity rock skeleton to obtain a saturated fluid equivalent model; in step S6, the bulk modulus (K fl ) of the movable fluid is calculated by using the Wood formula, the bulk modulus (K fl ) and the shear modulus (μ fl ) of the movable fluid are added into the dual-porosity rock skeleton by using the Gassmann model, the bulk modulus (K sat0 ) and the shear modulus (μ sat0 ) of the saturated fluid equivalent model are calculated, and then the P-wave velocity and the S-wave velocity are obtained.

[0073] The movable fluid is added into the rock skeleton containing the flexible pores and the rigid pores (dual-porosity rock skeleton). After the bound water, the flexible pores and the rigid pores are added, the bulk modulus (K fl ) and the shear modulus (μ fl = 0) of the movable fluid are added into the movable fluid pores in the rock by using the Gassmann model, wherein the bulk modulus (K fl ) of the movable fluid is calculated by using the Wood formula, and the bulk modulus (K sat0 ) and the shear modulus (μ sat0 ) of the rock after the movable fluid is added are calculated.

[0074] S7: determining the bulk modulus (K i ) and the shear modulus (μ i ) of each type of mineral in the saturated fluid equivalent model; in step S7, based on the initial aspect ratio (ɑ b1 ) of the bound water pores and the initial aspect ratio (ɑ h1 ) of the rigid pores, the bulk modulus (K i0 ) and the shear modulus (μ i0 ) of different minerals are adjusted so that the error of the P-wave velocity and the S-wave velocity is less than the initial prediction error threshold (T v1 ), and finally the appropriate bulk modulus (K i ) and the shear modulus (μ i ) of different minerals in the study area are determined.

[0075] Further, the bulk modulus (K i ) and the shear modulus (μ i ) of the minerals in the rock skeleton are determined. First, the initial aspect ratio (ɑ b1 ) of the bound water pores and the initial aspect ratio (ɑ h1 ) of the rigid pores are set, wherein the initial aspect ratio (ɑ b= 0.2, rigid pore aspect ratio a h = 0.5. Adjust different mineral bulk modulus (K i ), shear modulus (μ i ), calculate P-wave velocity and S-wave velocity according to bulk modulus (K sat ) and shear modulus (μ sat ), make P-wave and S-wave velocity error less than initial prediction error threshold T v1 , in this example, error threshold T v1 = 0.1, determine suitable bulk modulus and shear modulus of different minerals in the study area as shown in Table 1:

[0076] Table 1: Input parameters related to each mineral in the rock skeleton in the example

[0077]

[0078]

[0079] S8: Based on the bulk modulus (K i ) and shear modulus (μ i ) of each type of mineral in the saturated fluid equivalent model, the bound water pore aspect ratio and the rigid pore aspect ratio are optimized and adjusted, thereby improving the prediction accuracy of P-wave and S-wave velocity. In step S8, based on the bulk modulus (K i ) and shear modulus (μ i ) of each type of mineral in the saturated fluid equivalent model, an intelligent optimization algorithm is used to set the maximum number of iterations (I) of the algorithm, simultaneously optimize the bound water pore aspect ratio (a b ) in step S2 and the rigid pore aspect ratio (a h ) in step S5, and set the optimization range of the bound water pore aspect ratio (a b ) to a bmin — a bmax , and the optimization range of the rigid pore aspect ratio (a h ) to a hmin — a hmax , so that the error value of the P-wave and S-wave velocity calculated after the above steps S2 and S7 is brought in again is less than the error threshold (T v2 ). If the error value of the P-wave and S-wave velocity is not less than the error threshold (T v2 ), return to optimization and iterate to the maximum number of times; if the error value of the P-wave and S-wave velocity is less than the error threshold (T v2 ), stop iteration and output the final calculated bulk modulus (K sat ) and shear modulus (μ sat ) of the saturated fluid equivalent model, and then calculate the P-wave and S-wave velocity.

[0080] wherein the intelligent optimization algorithm is used to optimize and adjust the aspect ratio of bound water pores and rigid pores. Since the proportion of each type of pore changes greatly at different depths, the aspect ratio of the pores also changes with the formation. The optimization algorithm is used to find the optimal value of the aspect ratio of the pores. In this example, the intelligent optimization algorithm uses the particle swarm optimization algorithm, and of course the intelligent optimization algorithm can be selected according to actual needs. Further, in this example, the intelligent optimization algorithm uses the particle swarm optimization algorithm, sets the maximum number of iterations of the algorithm (I = 100), and optimizes the aspect ratio of the bound water pores (ɑ b ) in step S2 and the aspect ratio of the rigid pores (ɑ h ) in step S5, and determines that the optimization range of the aspect ratio of the bound water pores is ɑ bmin = 0.01—ɑ bmax = 0.4, and the optimization range of the aspect ratio of the rigid pores is ɑ hmin = 0.01—ɑ hmax = 0.9, and the above steps S2 to S7 are cycled, so that the error value between the predicted aspect ratio and the actual aspect ratio is less than the error threshold T v2 (T v2 = 0.01), if the error threshold T v2 cannot be reached, the optimization is continued and iterated to the maximum number; if the error threshold T v2 (T v2 = 0.01) is less than the error threshold, the iteration is stopped and the last calculated bulk modulus (K sat ) and shear modulus (μ sat ) are output, and then the parameters such as the aspect ratio, the aspect ratio ratio and the Poisson's ratio are calculated. The predicted aspect ratio is shown in Figure 6 , and the error distribution between the predicted aspect ratio and the actual aspect ratio is shown in Figure 7 .
