Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of well logging data processing technology, and in particular to a method, system, equipment and medium for acquiring data from anisotropic formations in a deviated well. Background Technology
[0002] It is estimated that about 30% of the world's oil and gas reserves are located in thin sandstone-mudstone interbedded layers. These thin interbedded reservoirs can be considered as macroscopic uniaxial anisotropic strata (or, laterally isotropic strata, abbreviated as TI strata). Detection and identification of these strata are of great significance for the development of oil and gas resources.
[0003] For existing axial induction logging instruments, the vertical resolution is not high enough, so thin, interbedded oil reservoirs are often mistaken for high water saturation layers and missed during logging. Three-dimensional induction logging instruments consist of three perpendicular transmitting coils and three parallel receiving coils. They can detect the horizontal and vertical conductivity of the formation, and can identify formation characteristics from a three-dimensional perspective, giving them an inherent advantage in detecting thin and complex reservoirs.
[0004] Generally, the logging response of three-dimensional induction logging instruments in deviated wells is simultaneously related to the formation's horizontal conductivity, vertical conductivity, and wellbore dip angle, and is highly nonlinear. In addition, the influence of adjacent layers on different components of the logging response is different, all of which increase the difficulty of real-time data processing, interpretation, and evaluation.
[0005] Currently, the main method for processing 3D induction logging data is the multi-parameter nonlinear iterative inversion method. While iterative inversion methods can obtain formation parameters close to the true values, they are typically slow, with the majority of computation time spent calculating the Jacobi matrix of the objective function. Furthermore, the inversion of 3D induction logging data is significantly affected by the estimated values of anisotropic formation conductivity parameters and wellbore dip angle. Inappropriate selection of these estimated values can lead to large errors in the formation conductivity and wellbore dip angle results. Moreover, there are currently no mature technologies, either domestically or internationally, for real-time processing of 3D induction logging data to obtain wellbore dip angle and formation conductivity for reference.

[0008] The inclination angle of any measurement point in the deviated well is used as the estimated value of the wellbore inclination angle of that measurement point, and the range of variation of the wellbore inclination angle of that measurement point is set. Based on the estimated value of the wellbore inclination angle of that measurement point, the range of variation of the wellbore inclination angle, and the three-dimensional induction logging data of that measurement point, the logging response component combination curve of that measurement point is constructed until the logging response component combination curve of each measurement point is obtained. The logging response component combination curve includes two curves that are only related to the horizontal conductivity and the wellbore inclination angle.
[0009] Skin effect correction is performed on the two curves corresponding to each measurement point to obtain two corrected curves for each measurement point.
[0010] The intersection point of the two corrected curves in the two-dimensional intersection diagram corresponding to each measurement point is determined as the true value of the wellbore dip angle and the true value of the horizontal conductivity of the corresponding measurement point.
[0011] The true value of the vertical conductivity at each measurement point is calculated based on the true value of the horizontal conductivity and the true value of the wellbore inclination angle at each measurement point.

The relevant coordinate rotation transformation yields the three-dimensional induction logging response in the instrument coordinate system. Actual logging data is always obtained in the instrument coordinate system. In data processing, it is common practice to obtain the logging response curve in the wellbore coordinate system from the measured data through an inverse transformation of the instrument azimuth angle before further processing.

[0085] Figure 8 It is the combination quantity SECσ HA and SECσ HC α~σ h Two-dimensional cross plot, in a homogeneous TI formation, the combination amount SECσ HA and SECσ HC The x-coordinate of the intersection of the two curves corresponds to the calculated wellbore dip angle, and the y-coordinate corresponds to the calculated horizontal electrical conductivity SECσ of the formation. HA =SECσ HC =σ h Once the horizontal conductivity and wellbore dip angle are determined, a response combination (σ) that is less affected by adjacent layers can be selected. zx +σ xz To determine the vertical conductivity σ v This will yield better results.
[0086] The following tests and analyses examine the anisotropic formation conductivity and wellbore dip angle results obtained using this method under different wellbore dip angles. Figures 10 to 13In this context, psh and psv represent the formation horizontal and vertical conductivity results without considering the influence of noise, while pshN and psvN represent the formation horizontal and vertical conductivity results considering the influence of 5% random noise.
[0087] Figure 9 For example, when the estimated wellbore inclination angle is 60°, the ranges of wellbore inclination angle variation α∈(50°~70°) and α∈(40°~80°) are set, and the real-time processing results of the wellbore inclination angle are obtained under different angle scanning ranges. Figure 9 It can be seen that the smaller the angle scanning range, the more accurate the result. At the same time, it can be seen that increasing the wellbore dip angle scanning range has little impact on the angle calculation result. Figure 10 The parameters are: the formation horizontal and vertical conductivity curves obtained with and without noise when the estimated wellbore dip angle is 60° and the search range is (40°~80°). Figure 11 This refers to the formation horizontal and vertical conductivity curves obtained with and without noise, when the estimated wellbore dip angle is 60° and the search range is (50°~70°). Figure 10 and Figure 11 It can be seen that when the search range of wellbore inclination angle is α∈(40°~80°) and α∈(50°~70°), the obtained formation horizontal and vertical conductivity are very close to the true values of formation horizontal and vertical conductivity. Figure 12 The results are: when the estimated wellbore inclination angle is 30°, and the angle scanning range is (10°~50°), the wellbore inclination angle results are obtained with and without noise.
[0088] Figure 13 It is: when the estimated wellbore inclination angle is 30°, the search range of the wellbore inclination angle is (10°~50°), and the formation horizontal and vertical conductivity curves obtained under noise conditions when the true value of the wellbore inclination angle is 30°.
[0089] Figure 14 Yes: When the estimated wellbore inclination angle is 80°, the wellbore inclination angle results are obtained with and without noise within the angle scanning range (60°~88°).
[0090] Figure 15 It is: when the estimated wellbore dip angle is 80°, the search range of the wellbore dip angle is (60°~88°), and when the true value of the wellbore dip angle is 80°, the formation horizontal conductivity and vertical conductivity curves are obtained under noise conditions.
[0091] from Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 15As can be seen, the data acquisition method for anisotropic formations in inclined wells of the present invention can calculate the electrical conductivity and wellbore inclination angle of anisotropic formations in real time, and is applicable to the calculation of wellbore inclination angles of any inclined well, such as small angles of 30°, intermediate angles of 60°, and large angles of 80°. Furthermore, even considering random noise, the calculated formation electrical conductivity results match the actual horizontal and vertical electrical conductivity curves of the formation very well.
[0092] In summary, this invention, for each measurement point, utilizes a two-dimensional intersection plot of two constructed three-dimensional induction logging data combination curves to quickly obtain information on the horizontal conductivity, vertical conductivity, and wellbore dip angle of the deviated well formation. Because the method of this invention can obtain the true values of the horizontal and vertical conductivity of the formation in anisotropic TI formation deviated wells with high accuracy, this processing method can accurately identify thin sandstone-mudstone interbedded layers, avoiding the misidentification of such thin interbedded oil reservoirs as high water saturation layers during logging and thus preventing their omission. This is of great significance in logging.
[0093] The beneficial effects of the data acquisition method for anisotropic strata in inclined wells provided by this invention are as follows:
[0094] 1) For each measurement point, it can process the three-dimensional induction logging data of anisotropic formations in deviated wells in real time, and quickly obtain the horizontal conductivity, vertical conductivity and wellbore dip parameters of anisotropic (TI) formation deviated wells. This greatly shortens the logging data processing time, improves the working efficiency of logging instruments, and significantly reduces the cost of testing instruments in the well. It enables three-dimensional induction logging data to be better applied to real-time processing and interpretation evaluation in the field, which is of great significance to the widespread application of three-dimensional induction logging instruments in the field.
[0095] 2) The results of this invention can be applied to the determination of anisotropic TI formation conductivity and wellbore dip angle in any deviated well, especially in highly deviated wells, which broadens the application range of three-dimensional induction logging instruments.
[0096] 3) Since the present invention can obtain the values of horizontal and vertical electrical conductivity of the formation with high accuracy in anisotropic TI formation deviated wells, this processing method can accurately determine the thin sand-mudstone interbedded layer, avoiding the misidentification of such thin interbedded oil reservoirs as high water saturation layers in well logging and thus missing them, which is of great significance in well logging.
