In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and in order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention are described below. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0049] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0050] The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, embodiments, claims, and drawings of this invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such as including a series of steps or units.

[0051] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0052] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated characterization method for fracturing processes based on digital twins, which performs real-time processing of entity data, establishes data twins of relevant entities on the ground and underground, realizes spatial coupling between data and models, and achieves the goal of integrated control of the fracturing process.

[0053] This invention presents a novel method for establishing an integrated digital twin model for fracturing. This method more accurately simulates each stage of downhole fracturing operations and integrates and processes multi-source data to achieve integrated display and linkage services with reservoir dynamics, further providing comprehensive, multi-angle dynamic simulation and real-time optimization for fracturing operations.

[0054] Based on the dynamic models of the reservoir, wellbore, and surface, an integrated model is formed by coupling. The digital twin and the physical entity are mapped bidirectionally. Through data analysis, machine learning, fault diagnosis and prediction, simulation and verification are carried out on the digital twin to achieve closed-loop optimization of the algorithm's interaction between the virtual and real worlds.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is implemented using the following technical solution: an integrated digital twin characterization method for fracturing, comprising the following steps:

[0056] Step 1: Processing model data

[0057] Model data processing workflow: Based on the reservoir optimization theory and technology workflow, a workflow for the entire process of reservoir model data twin representation is established: business model construction, model solidification, and secondary model construction.

[0058] I. Reservoir Model Processing

[0059] 1. Collect and organize existing reservoir data, and develop algorithms to parse the data. Reorganize the structural model data related to strata, reservoirs, faults, and fault blocks according to the operational structure to provide a data foundation for reservoir models.

[0060] 2. Solidify the reservoir model by reducing its surface area, repairing damaged surfaces, and decreasing its size. Segment and profile the reservoir model according to the required spatial relationships. Establish the reservoir model using a surface reconstruction estimation algorithm and predict unknown areas to fill in missing or blank information within the model.

[0061] 3. Secondary model construction:

[0062] The model generated by the modeling software is reconstructed into a general 3D geometric mesh model, specifically including:

[0063] (1) Different geological units or data sources are split, stitched together, and arranged to form a discrete grid for the geological model;

[0064] (2) Construct a normal map for each vertex of the mesh;

[0065] (3) Color each vertex of the mesh;

[0066] (4) Create a lighting model for the surface of the 3D model;

[0067] (5) Texture mapping: Apply color and texture information to the surface of a 3D model using texture images to provide a more realistic appearance.

[0068] II. Wellbore Model Processing

[0069] Based on well trajectory data, well structure data, and well geological data, a well entity business model is constructed to meet the needs of automated drawing of three-dimensional well trajectory and well elements, forming a visualized three-dimensional graphic model of the well trajectory. By integrating three-dimensional modeling technology, a three-dimensional model of well elements is automatically and dynamically constructed, enabling three-dimensional spatial integration and display with ground models, geological models, and numerical models.

[0070] By using data such as single-well production information and wellbore structure, a dynamic wellbore model is established to characterize the flow regime and tubing stress during the entire wellbore lifting process. Through data fusion, a wellbore twin is constructed to achieve wellbore numerical simulation and establish a visual twin of the wellbore, tubing, and pump, enabling real-time monitoring and decision-making regarding the dynamics of wellbore operation.

[0071] In accordance with the requirements of integration, data from various stages, models, and scenarios must be organized and processed in a unified manner. This involves operations such as drill-down, slicing, dicing, and rotation to address the data organization structure. Drill-down is used to change the data hierarchy and alter the granularity of analysis. Slicing and dicing, based on the analysis of the current data dimension, perform distribution analysis on the remaining dimensions. The last node is a slice, and three or more nodes constitute a dicing. Rotation is used to change the orientation of data dimensions and rearrange the data.

[0072] By innovating data organization models and utilizing techniques such as data appending, segmentation, slicing, drilling, and rotation, granularity and amplitude coupling between above-ground and underground dimensions of models at different spatiotemporal scales are achieved. Slices, for example... Figure 2 As shown, the specific processing procedure is as follows:

[0073] 1. Wellbore trajectory data, including: the contents of wellbore information in the analysis model results; the data in the exported results file is processed using techniques such as appending, segmenting, slicing, drilling, and rotating to solve the coupling of granularity and amplitude under different spatiotemporal scale models in the later stage; the data is stored in the database and a data interface is written to provide twin calls.

[0074] 2. Wellbore trajectory mapping, including: Calculating the well trajectory mainly involves calculating the inclination of the collected wellbore inclination data. The basic principle is to use the wellhead as the zero point, accumulate the coordinate increments corresponding to each measuring point calculated using the measured data, and then obtain the actual coordinate values ​​of each measuring point, which is the spatial data of the wellbore trajectory shape.

[0075] 3. Wellbore structure model, including: five types of raw data: basic information of single well, drilling geological information, production formation, wellbore structure data (casing), and production tubing structure data. The raw data is logically processed, with the basic information of single well as the drilling geological information, wellbore structure data, production tubing structure data, and production formation of well completion, and the five types of raw data are divided into 17 items. The equipment model components are combined with the 17 items of wellbore data to display various equipment information on the three-dimensional model of the wellbore.

[0076] III. Ground Equipment and Facilities of the Station

[0077] Data on ground equipment and facilities at the site is collected, three-dimensional models of the ground site and equipment are established, the models are standardized and lightweighted, static attribute data and dynamic operation data are integrated to form three-dimensional graphics of the ground facilities, and real-time mapping between physical entities and three-dimensional models is realized to achieve dynamic visualization of equipment and facilities data.

[0078] Step 2: Combining business data and models

[0079] Research on reservoir environment fusion technology for underground models effectively integrates reservoirs and wellbores in a three-dimensional underground field, ensuring the accuracy of underground physical models and real-time data representation.

[0080] By using a reference system (with the wellhead surface location as the origin of the coordinate system, and other values ​​as relative values ​​to the origin), the shape, size, distance, depth, and orientation of geological entities are directly reflected in three-dimensional space, expanding the simulation analysis of the working conditions of real elements in three-dimensional space. The reference system is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0081] The process involves identifying the types of business entities in the digital twin, establishing relationships between these entities, and defining the interaction between the numerical model and the business data. The numerical model files generated in the first two steps are then organically combined with various business attribute data to sequentially establish the association between the numerical model and the entities.

[0082] The association between numerical models and entities refers to the interactive relationship between the numerical model and the site entity model built by 3D modeling software, as well as the relationship between the attribute data of the numerical model and the established 3D graphics rendering body. For example, coloring each vertex of the mesh through attribute values, and applying color and texture information to the surface of the 3D mesh (model) through texture mapping.

[0083] By dynamically presenting the changes of the twin body in real time according to the changes of attribute values ​​over time steps, a real-time dynamic simulation effect is achieved.

[0084] Step 3: Realizing the integration of digital twins

[0085] A reference frame is established to reflect the shape, size, distance, depth, direction, and other characteristics of geological entities in three-dimensional space. A three-dimensional wellbore model is formed using rendering algorithms based on data such as wellbore trajectory. Based on data such as the layout of ground stations and equipment, the three-dimensional models of equipment from the above steps are arranged to couple the reservoir, wellbore, and surface dynamic model into an integrated digital twin. Furthermore, a two-way mapping is performed between the numerical model and the physical entity, and the underground model is integrated with the geological environment to ensure the accuracy of the representation of the entity model and the data.

[0086] It visualizes reservoir structures, wellbore, and surface stations, enabling real-time mapping and dynamic display of three-dimensional space and attribute data.

[0087] Attribute data mapping refers to associating entity objects in a 3D model or scene with corresponding attributes. The main implementation steps are as follows: Figure 4 As shown: The integration of underground models with reservoir environment refers to the process of rapidly loading and dynamically representing numerical models at different times, with different attributes (dynamic and static), and different sub-layers, data push and publishing services, and dynamic rendering by digital twin engine, so as to achieve coupling of reservoir, wellbore, and surface dynamic models, and the changes in related environment and attributes can be displayed on the twin.

[0088] Based on the integrated engineering geology concept of shale oil fracturing, and using the results of operational models, an integrated aboveground and underground model was constructed and data fusion-driven. Relying on reservoir, wellbore, site equipment, and GIS spatial data, and employing core technologies such as full-domain perception, multi-source data fusion, efficient modeling, real-time dynamic simulation, and visualization, integrated display and linked services were achieved, further providing comprehensive, multi-angle dynamic simulation and real-time optimization for fracturing operations.

[0089] This invention utilizes three-dimensional and dynamic / static data of the wellbore and reservoir from the Niuye demonstration well group to conduct research on an integrated twin characterization method for surface equipment models, wellbore models, and reservoir models, thereby realizing visualization of the entire integrated process of fracturing engineering geology.

[0090] Beneficial effects:

[0091] 1. This invention, through the cross-application of multiple technologies, implements cross-business and cross-process full lifecycle data integration, realizes the virtual-real interaction of digital twins, and effectively overcomes the difficulties of current fracturing construction departments, complex business fields involved, and lack of integrated means for surface and underground operations.

[0092] 2. This invention spatially integrates models of ground stations, wellbores, formations, and faults, supporting the simulation and business needs of digital twins for oil and gas field engineering, and making fracturing operations more controllable.

[0093] 3. The integrated model established by this invention has a clear and objective source, with various data having clear meanings, high accuracy, and a highly reproducible acquisition method, which is conducive to the promotion and application of fracturing technology in construction sites.

[0094] The above specific embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
