Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of petroleum exploration and development technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium for continuous depth evaluation of shale fracture pressure. Background Technology
[0002] Shale fracture pressure is fundamental to oil and gas well drilling engineering design and serves as the basis for rationally selecting drilling fluids and determining casing depth. Accurately predicting shale fracture pressure allows for greater foresight in the drilling process, playing a crucial role in pressure balancing drilling, reservoir protection, blowout prevention, increasing drilling speed, and reducing drilling costs.
[0003] Methods for obtaining shale fracture pressure include extended leakage test (XLOT) or small-scale fracturing processes, but these are only applicable to the current well and depth, and are expensive, making them unsuitable for large-scale applications. Therefore, model prediction methods are commonly used. These methods currently consider the stress state around the wellbore, using the Kirsch equations to derive the shale fracture pressure formula based on the stress around a small circular hole in an infinite slab. This formula requires knowledge of mechanical parameters such as pore pressure, tensile strength, static Poisson's ratio, and maximum and minimum horizontal principal stresses. Well logging data inevitably introduces errors in evaluating these parameters, leading to inaccurate shale fracture pressure readings. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for continuous depth evaluation of shale fracture pressure, in order to solve the problem that errors exist in the mechanical parameters of the formula for evaluating fracture pressure based on well logging data, resulting in inaccurate shale fracture pressure.
[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for evaluating the continuous depth of shale fracture pressure is provided, comprising:
[0006] The first physical characteristic parameters of the target shale are determined; the first physical characteristic parameters include: clay content, total organic carbon content and total porosity of the target shale, and the first physical characteristic parameters characterize the physical characteristics of the target shale.
[0007] The fracture pressure of the target shale is determined by a fracture pressure model based on the first physical property parameters of the target shale. The fracture pressure model is established based on the fracture pressure of a reference shale core and the second physical property parameters of the reference shale core, and is used to characterize the functional relationship between the fracture pressure of the reference shale core and the sum of the physical property parameters. The reference shale core and the target shale are located in the same geological area or in the same well.
[0008] According to another aspect of the present invention, a shale fracture pressure continuous depth evaluation device is provided, comprising:
[0009] The parameter determination module is used to determine the first physical characteristic parameters of the target shale; the first physical characteristic parameters include: the clay content of the target shale, the total organic carbon content of the target shale, and the total porosity of the target shale, and the first physical characteristic parameters characterize the physical characteristics of the target shale;
[0010] The target shale fracture pressure determination module is used to determine the fracture pressure of the target shale based on the first physical property parameters of the target shale using a fracture pressure model. The fracture pressure model is established based on the fracture pressure of a reference shale core and the second physical property parameters of the reference shale core, and is used to characterize the functional relationship between the fracture pressure of the reference shale core and the sum of the physical property parameters. The reference shale core and the target shale are located in the same geological area or in the same well.
[0011] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device comprising:
[0012] At least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores a computer program executable by the at least one processor, the computer program being executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to perform the shale fracture pressure continuous depth evaluation method according to any embodiment of the present invention.
[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a processor to execute and implement the shale fracture pressure continuous depth evaluation method according to any embodiment of the present invention.
[0014] The technical solution of this invention determines the fracture pressure of the target shale by using a fracture pressure model based on the first physical characteristic parameters of the target shale. This fracture pressure model is established in advance based on the physical characteristic parameters and fracture pressure of a reference core. After obtaining the first physical characteristic parameters, the fracture pressure of the target shale can be directly obtained from the fracture pressure model. This avoids the errors that occur when evaluating multiple parameter data through well logging data in existing determination methods, thereby improving the accuracy of shale fracture pressure prediction.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for evaluating the continuous depth of shale fracture pressure according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations involving the acquisition of shale fracture pressure. The method can be executed by a device for evaluating the continuous depth of shale fracture pressure, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in any electronic device with network communication capabilities. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0027] S110. Determine the first physical property parameters of the target shale.
[0028] The first physical characteristic parameter includes: the clay content of the target shale, the total organic carbon content of the target shale, and the total porosity of the target shale. The first physical characteristic parameter characterizes the physical characteristics of the target shale.
[0029] Total organic carbon content is expressed as the amount of organic matter in water, based on the carbon content.
[0030] The first physical property parameters of the target shale are determined based on the well logging data of the target shale.
[0031] Optionally, determine the first physical property parameters of the target shale, including steps A1-A2:
[0032] Step A1: Obtain well logging data for the target shale.
[0033] The well logging data for the target shale includes at least: the natural gamma logging curve value of the target shale, the resistivity of the target shale, the compensated neutron of the target shale, and the density of the target shale.
[0034] The target shale is tested using detection equipment to obtain well logging data of the target shale.
[0035] Step A2: Determine the first physical property parameters of the target shale based on the well logging data of the target shale.
[0036] Based on the correspondence between the logging data of the target shale and the first physical characteristic parameter, the logging data of the target shale is processed to obtain the first physical characteristic parameter of the target shale.
[0037] Furthermore, the above correspondence is the functional relationship between each data point of the pre-established well logging data and each data point of the physical characteristic parameters.
[0038] Optionally, the first physical property parameters of the target shale are determined based on the well logging data of the target shale, including steps B1-B3:
[0039] Step B1: Determine the clay content of the target shale based on the extreme values of the natural gamma logging curve of the target shale and the natural gamma logging curve of the pure sandstone section of the target formation.
[0040] The target stratum is the stratum in which the target shale is located.
[0041] The maximum and minimum values of the natural gamma logging curves of the target shale and the natural gamma logging curves of the pure sandstone section of the target formation are input into the clay content model for calculation to obtain the clay content of the target shale.
[0042] The clay content model is a pre-established functional relationship between the natural gamma logging curve value and the clay content.
[0043] Optionally, the clay content of the target shale is determined based on the extreme values of the natural gamma-ray logging curves of the target shale and the natural gamma-ray logging curves of the pure sandstone section of the target formation, including steps C1-C2:
[0044] Step C1: Determine the relative value of the natural gamma ray of the target shale based on the natural gamma logging curve value of the target shale and the extreme value of the natural gamma logging curve of the pure sandstone section of the target formation.
[0045] The natural gamma logging curve values of the target shale and the extreme values of the natural gamma logging curves of the pure sandstone section of the target formation are input into the natural gamma relative value model to calculate the natural gamma relative value of the target shale.
[0046] The natural gamma relative value model can be expressed by the following formula:
[0047]
[0048] Where ΔGR is the relative value of the natural gamma ray of the target shale; GR is the natural gamma logging curve value of the target shale; GR min The minimum value of the natural gamma-ray logging curve for the pure sandstone section of the target formation; GR max The maximum value of the natural gamma logging curve for the pure sandstone section of the target formation.
[0049] Step C2: Determine the clay content of the target shale based on its natural gamma relative value and the empirical coefficient of stratigraphic age.
[0050] The natural gamma relative value of the target shale and the empirical coefficient of stratigraphic age are input into the clay content model to calculate the clay content of the target shale.
[0051] Among them, the stratigraphic age empirical coefficient is the stratigraphic age empirical coefficient of the stratum where the target stratum is located.
[0052] The clay content model can be expressed by the following formula:
[0053]
[0054] In the formula, V SH测井 denoted as % (clay content of the target shale); c is an empirical coefficient related to stratigraphic age.
[0055] Step B2: Determine the total organic carbon content of the target shale based on its resistivity and the resistivity of the non-hydrocarbon source mudstone layer in the target stratigraphic position.
[0056] For example, determining the total organic carbon content based on the resistivity of the target shale in the well logging data involves calculating the total organic carbon content at continuous depths using well logging data such as the resistivity-porosity curve or density curve of the target shale. Taking the overlay method of the resistivity-porosity curve of the target shale (ΔlgR method) as an example, the method for determining the total organic carbon content of the target shale is as follows:
[0057]
[0058] TOC = (Δlg R)·10 (2.297-0.1688LOM)
[0059] Where TOC is the total organic carbon content of the target shale; K is the proportional coefficient of the relative miscibility scale; R t R represents the resistivity of the target shale; Δt represents the sonic transit time logging value of the target shale; 基线 Resistivity logging values for non-hydrocarbon source rock mudstone formations; Δt 基线 ΔlgR represents the sonic transit time logging value for non-hydrocarbon source rocks; LOM is an index reflecting the maturity of organic matter, which can be calibrated by cross-plotting geochemical analysis data and logging response characteristics of the study area; ΔlgR is an intermediate variable.
[0060] Step B3: Determine the total porosity of the target shale based on the neutron density cross-plot of the target shale.
[0061] Among them, the neutron density cross plot of the target shale establishes the relationship between the compensated neutrons of the target shale and the density of the target shale, thereby characterizing the total porosity of the target shale.
[0062] A neutron density cross plot of the target shale is constructed based on the compensated neutrons and density of the target shale, and the total porosity of the target shale is determined based on the neutron density cross plot.
[0063] Furthermore, the principle of determining the total porosity of the target shale using the neutron density cross plot is to use a cyclic iterative approximation method to accurately determine the fluid parameters of the target shale's compensated neutron and density, the target shale skeleton parameters, and the dry clay skeleton parameters at each depth point. Then, using the fluid parameters of the target shale's compensated neutron and density, the target shale skeleton parameters, and the dry clay skeleton parameters, a cross plot triangle is established, i.e., the neutron density cross plot of the target shale. The total porosity of the target shale is calculated based on the neutron density cross plot.
[0064] S120. Based on the first physical property parameters of the target shale, determine the fracture pressure of the target shale using a fracture pressure model.
[0065] The first physical property parameters of the target shale are input into the fracture pressure model, and the fracture pressure of the target shale is calculated.
[0066] For example, Figure 2 The result of continuous depth processing of the fracture pressure of the target shale is shown in the image. Figure 2As shown, the first channel is the lithology indicator channel for the target shale. The solid line represents the natural gamma ray logging curve value of the target shale, and the dashed line represents the wellbore curve. The natural gamma ray logging curve of the target shale mainly characterizes the lithological changes of the target shale, while the wellbore curve mainly indicates the quality of the wellbore. The second channel is the depth channel, indicating the distance of the target formation from the wellhead. The third channel is the three porosity curve channel. The solid line represents the acoustic transit time (AC) curve of the target shale, the dashed line represents the bulk density (DEN) curve of the target shale, and the dotted line represents the compensated neutron (CNL) curve of the target shale. All three curves can be used to calculate the porosity, characterizing the formation properties. The fourth track represents the resistivity curve of the target shale. The solid line represents the deep array induced resistivity curve (AT90), the short dashed line represents the medium array induced resistivity curve (AT60), and the dotted line represents the shallow array induced resistivity curve (AT10). The resistivity curve of the target shale mainly characterizes its electrical conductivity, thereby evaluating the lithology and fluid properties of the target stratigraphic unit. The fifth track represents the total organic carbon content of the target shale. The solid line represents the total organic carbon content (TOC) of the target shale calculated by the ΔlgR method from the AT90 and AC curves. The sixth track represents the total porosity of the target shale. The solid line represents the total porosity (POR) calculated by nuclear magnetic resonance. The seventh track represents the clay content of the target shale. The solid line represents the total porosity (VSH) of the target shale calculated by natural gamma logging curves. The eighth track represents the fracture pressure of the target shale. The solid line represents the calculated fracture pressure of the target shale.
[0067] The fracture pressure model is established based on the fracture pressure of the reference shale core and the second physical property parameters of the reference shale core. It is used to characterize the functional relationship between the fracture pressure of the reference shale core and the sum of the physical property parameters. The reference shale core and the target shale are located in the same geological area or in the same well.
[0068] Optional, the process for determining the rupture pressure model includes steps D1-D3:
[0069] Step D1: Determine the second physical property parameters of the reference shale core.
[0070] The second physical characteristic parameters include: clay content, total organic carbon content, and total porosity of the reference shale core. These parameters characterize the physical properties of the reference shale core.
[0071] The total organic carbon content of the reference shale core was measured by burning the core. The measurement principle is to remove the inorganic carbon in the reference shale core with dilute hydrochloric acid, then burn it in a high-temperature oxygen stream to convert the total organic carbon into carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide content is then detected by an infrared detector. Finally, the total organic carbon content of the reference shale core is calculated based on the correspondence between carbon dioxide and total organic carbon content.
[0072] Clay content (V) of reference shale core SH () refers to the volume percentage of clay minerals in a reference shale core. Clay, also known as clay minerals, is a very small-particle plastic silicate mineral formed after weathering on the Earth's surface.
[0073] X-ray diffraction was performed on a reference shale core to obtain a diffraction pattern. Analysis of the diffraction pattern determined the clay content of the reference shale core.
[0074] X-ray diffraction is a mineral composition detection technique. It is an experimental method that uses X-ray diffraction to analyze the diffraction pattern of a reference shale core to obtain the mineral types and their contents.
[0075] Total porosity of reference shale core determined by nuclear magnetic resonance and gas method.
[0076] Furthermore, the method described above is used to determine the total porosity of the reference shale core because the pores in the core after the loss of oil and gas are small and contain fluid; therefore, accurate porosity test results can be obtained using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The pores in the reference shale core after the loss of oil and gas are small and gas-permeable; therefore, accurate porosity measurement results can be obtained using a gas method.
[0077] Among them, the nuclear magnetic resonance method measures the porosity of the reference shale core using a nuclear magnetic resonance instrument; the gas method measures the porosity of the reference shale core using helium gas.
[0078] Optionally, determine the second physical property parameters of the reference shale core, including steps E1-E3:
[0079] Step E1: Measure the reference shale core using a nuclear magnetic resonance instrument to obtain the nuclear magnetic porosity.
[0080] The principle behind nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) porosity measurement is based on the interaction between nuclear spins and the liquid in the pores of a reference shale core, which causes a change in the relaxation time of the NMR signal, indirectly yielding the porosity of the reference shale core. Relaxation time represents the time it takes for an NMR instrument in equilibrium to return to its original equilibrium state after being subjected to a momentary external disturbance.
[0081] The porosity of the drilled reference shale core was measured using a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) instrument to obtain the NMR porosity (φ). NMR The porosity measured at this time is the pore space after the oil and gas have dissipated.
[0082] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, φ NMRThe pore space is occupied by clay-bound water, immovable fluid, and the remaining portion of movable fluid within the skeleton.
[0083] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, from top to bottom, the white part is the skeleton, and the other parts are pores. Different colors represent the types of fluids in the pores. The gray part is the movable fluid, which is any combination of oil, gas and water. The movable fluid is further divided into the lost part and the remaining part. The dark gray part is the immovable fluid, which is any combination of oil, gas and water. The black part is clay-bound water, mainly intercrystalline water and clay interlayer water.
[0084] The nuclear magnetic resonance porosity measured using the above method can be used to non-destructively measure reference shale cores and can be performed under relatively realistic conditions, providing more accurate porosity measurement results for reference shale cores.
[0085] Step E2: Introduce helium into the reference shale core and determine the gas porosity based on the degree of helium escape.
[0086] The principle of gas-based porosity measurement is based on the compressibility of gas. By measuring the change in resistance of gas in the pores of a reference shale core under different pressures, the porosity is calculated. This porosity measurement method is suitable for reference shale cores with high density, low porosity, and stable gas permeability.
[0087] Helium gas was introduced into a reference shale core, and the gas porosity (φ) was measured based on the degree of helium escape. He At this point, the porosity measured is the pore space where oil and gas have escaped.
[0088] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, φ He Porosity refers to the porosity of the portion of the fluid lost from the movable fluid within the skeleton.
[0089] Step E3: Sum the gas porosity and nuclear magnetic resonance porosity to obtain the total porosity of the reference shale core.
[0090] Gas porosity (φ) He ) and nuclear magnetic porosity (φ NMR The total porosity of the reference shale core is obtained by adding the two components together. This can be expressed as follows:
[0091] φ=φ NMR +φ He
[0092] Step D2: Determine the fracture pressure of the reference shale core through a fracture test.
[0093] The fracturing experiment involved continuously pressurizing a reference shale core until it fractured.
[0094] Furthermore, the fracture experiment is an experimental study that observes the failure conditions, failure process, and changes in the physical properties of the reference shale core during the failure process.
[0095] During the fracturing experiment, a certain confining pressure was applied to the reference shale core and the axial pressure was gradually increased until the reference shale core fractured. The axial pressure corresponding to the fracture of the reference shale core was taken as the fracture pressure of the reference shale core.
[0096] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal axis represents strain, in % (%), with a scale from 0 to 0.6; the vertical axis represents stress, in megapascals (MPa), with a scale from 0 to 240. As stress increases, the strain of the reference shale core increases until the core fractures. After fracture, the strain continues to increase, while the required stress gradually decreases. The maximum stress during this process is the fracture pressure. Here, stress refers to axial pressure.
[0097] Step D3: Establish a fracture pressure model based on the sum of the fracture pressure of the reference shale core and the second physical property parameters of the reference shale core.
[0098] First, the second physical property parameters of the reference shale core are summed. After the summation is completed, a fracture pressure model is established based on the fracture pressure of the reference shale core and the sum of the second physical property parameters of the reference shale core.
[0099] Optionally, the rupture pressure model can be expressed as follows:
[0100] P f =α(V SH +TOC+φ) β
[0101] Among them, P f To reference the fracture pressure of shale cores, V SH The reference shale core contains clay, TOC contains total organic carbon, φ contains total porosity, and α and β are constant values.
[0102] For example, Figure 5 is a cross-plot of the fracture pressure of a reference shale core against the sum of its clay content, total organic carbon content, and total porosity. Figure 5As shown in the figure, the horizontal axis represents the sum of clay content, TOC, and porosity, in percentages (%), with a scale from 0 to 80; the vertical axis represents the fracturing pressure, in megapascals (MPa). The fracturing pressure decreases non-linearly as the sum of the three increases. Specifically, clay content refers to the clay content of the reference shale core; TOC refers to the total organic carbon content of the reference shale core; porosity refers to the total porosity of the reference shale core; and fracturing pressure refers to the fracturing pressure of the reference shale core.
[0103] The technical solution of this embodiment determines the fracture pressure of the target shale by using a fracture pressure model based on the first physical characteristic parameters of the target shale. This fracture pressure model is established in advance based on the physical characteristic parameters and fracture pressure of a reference shale. After obtaining the first physical characteristic parameters, the fracture pressure of the target shale can be directly obtained from the fracture pressure model. This avoids the errors that occur when evaluating multiple parameter data through well logging data in existing determination methods, thereby improving the accuracy of shale fracture pressure prediction. At the same time, obtaining the fracture pressure can also provide an accurate data basis for other geological exploration and development activities.
