Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of formation evaluation technology, specifically to a method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for obtaining the three-phase saturation of natural gas hydrates. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, natural gas hydrates are a highly efficient and clean energy source with abundant resources, representing a strategic high ground for future global energy development. Research indicates that mixed layers of hydrates, free gas, and water coexisting within the stable zone of natural gas hydrates have been confirmed to exist in multiple regions. However, the key issue is how to accurately assess the saturation of hydrates, gaseous hydrocarbons, and water to provide a basis for hydrate deposit development.
[0003] Currently, methods for quantitatively evaluating the three-phase saturation of mixed layers include core analysis, sonic logging, and a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance and density.
[0004] Core analysis, which involves collecting the total amount of gas released by pressurized core samples and combining this with pore water desalination, can calculate the three-phase saturation. However, this method has the following drawbacks: First, obtaining core samples from the deep sea is expensive, and the data obtained is discrete, making it impossible to obtain continuous results for the mixed layer. Second, it is difficult to maintain core pressure, and it is hard to determine the formation water salinity and gas concentration in the in-situ state.
[0005] The acoustic logging method has several drawbacks. First, the presence of gas in the mixed layer leads to inaccurate extraction of P-wave and S-wave velocities, affecting the calculation results. Second, the rock physics model used in this method depends primarily on the microscopic occurrence of hydrates in the mixed layer, requiring acquisition through core CT scans and other methods, resulting in high uncertainty. Third, the formulas involve multiple unknowns, often using default values, which vary depending on the region and sediments, leading to significant errors in the calculation results.
[0006] The main problem with conventional NMR-density logging is that hydrate sediments have complex lithology, making it difficult to determine framework parameters. The porosity calculated by density logging is also low, resulting in large errors in the calculation results.
[0007] In summary, existing methods for obtaining saturation in mixed layers where hydrates, free gas, and water coexist within the stability zone of natural gas hydrates still suffer from significant calculation errors. Summary of the Invention

[0063] To better illustrate the present invention and facilitate understanding of its technical solutions, typical but non-limiting embodiments of the present invention are as follows:
[0064] Currently, quantitative methods for the three-phase saturation of natural gas hydrate mixed layers include core analysis, sonic logging, and NMR-density combination methods. However, existing methods suffer from poor accuracy in obtaining three-phase saturation due to the difficulty in obtaining stable sample data and defects in the evaluation process. Therefore, this invention optimizes the acquisition method by utilizing NMR logging and neutron logging, and establishes an NMR-neutron combined interpretation model to accurately and continuously evaluate the three-phase saturation of hydrates, free gas, and water in the mixed layer, as detailed below:
[0065] I. This embodiment provides a method for obtaining the three-phase saturation of natural gas hydrates, the process of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the acquisition method includes:
[0066] A neutron porosity logging interpretation model for the mixed-layer section of the target well was established based on neutron logging data.
[0067] Based on the neutron porosity logging interpretation model, a neutron porosity interpretation model is established for a pure hydrate interval that is lithologically similar to and adjacent to the mixed interval of the target well.
[0068] A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) porosity logging interpretation model for the mixed-layer section of the target well was established based on NMR logging data.
[0069] Establish a nuclear magnetic resonance porosity interpretation model for a pure hydrate interval with similar lithology to the mixed interval of the target well and adjacent to it;
[0070] Based on the neutron porosity logging interpretation model, the neutron porosity interpretation model, the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) porosity interpretation model, and the NMR porosity logging interpretation model, the average formation porosity corresponding to the selected pure hydrate interval in the target well is used. Average neutron porosity and average NMR porosity The gas saturation of the mixing section is obtained by solving. , gas saturation The water saturation of the mixed-layer section was obtained by substituting the nuclear magnetic resonance porosity logging interpretation model into the solution. Based on the obtained gas saturation and water saturation The hydrate saturation of the mixed-layer section was obtained by reverse calculation. .
[0071] Specifically, a neutron porosity logging interpretation model was established for the mixed-phase formation of the target well. Based on the traditional volumetric model, the neutron porosity logging interpretation model for the mixed-phase formation (hydrate, free gas, and water) of the target well is as follows:
[0072] (1);
[0073] In the formula, The measured neutron porosity logging values at different depths in the mixed layer; This represents the porosity value of the mixed-layer formation. , and These represent the water saturation, hydrate saturation, and gas saturation at different depths in the mixed layer. ; , , and These are the hydrogen content indices for formation water, hydrates, free gas, and the formation framework, respectively; for example, , , , It is related to the lithology of the strata.
[0074] Specifically, a pure hydrate layer with similar lithology to and adjacent to the mixed layer of the target well was selected, and a neutron porosity logging interpretation model for the pure hydrate layer was established. Since it is a pure hydrate layer, the gas saturation at this time... According to equation (1), the neutron porosity logging interpretation model for pure hydrate zones is as follows:
[0075] (2);
[0076] In the formula, The values represent the measured neutron porosity of the pure hydrate layer. For the porosity of the pure hydrate layer, and These are the water saturation value and hydrate saturation value of this layer, respectively. .
[0077] In this invention, the selection criteria for pure hydrate intervals that are lithologically similar to and adjacent to the mixed intervals of the target well simultaneously satisfy the following:
[0078] (1) The difference in average natural gamma value between the mixed layer and the pure hydrate layer in the target well is ≤5 API;
[0079] (2) The bottom depth of the selected layer is ≤2m and the top depth of the mixed layer of the target well is ≤2m.
[0080] Combining formulas (1) and (2), since the lithology of the pure hydrate section and the mixed section is similar, the hydrogen content index of the stratigraphic framework of the two sections can be considered to be equal, i.e. Furthermore, since the lithology of the two strata did not change significantly and they are adjacent, the porosity change caused by formation compaction is negligible. Therefore, the formation porosity of the two strata can be considered equal, and both can be taken as the average formation porosity. ,Right now
[0081] Equations (1)-(2):
[0082] (3);
[0083] Pure hydrate layer: different fluid saturation is 1.
[0084] (4);
[0085] Mixed-layer segment: different fluid saturation levels are 1.
[0086] (5);
[0087] Equations (5) to (4):
[0088] (6);
[0089] make Then equation (6) can be written as:
[0090] (7);
[0091] Combine equations (3) and (7), and exemplarily, to , , ,have to,
[0092] (8);
[0093] A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) porosity interpretation model for the mixed-layer section of the target well was established. NMR logging measures the vertical or lateral relaxation characteristics of hydrogen nuclei in the formation. While hydrates contain abundant hydrogen atoms in both water and gas molecules, NMR logging is not sensitive to hydrogen nuclei in solids; therefore, its logging signal primarily reflects fluid information within the formation. For the mixed-layer section of the target well, based on the traditional volumetric model, the NMR porosity interpretation model is as follows:
[0094] (9);
[0095] In the formula, Measured NMR porosity at different depths in the mixed layer; and These represent the water saturation and gas saturation at different depths in the mixed layer; , These are the hydrogen content indices for formation water and free gas, respectively. The polarization factor of the gas; for example, , , .
[0096] Based on the selected pure hydrate zone, a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) porosity logging interpretation model was established: Since the porosity fluids in the pure hydrate zone consist only of hydrates and formation water, and NMR porosity is not sensitive to hydrogen nuclei in solid hydrates, the NMR porosity interpretation model is as follows:
[0097] (10);
[0098] Equations (9)-(10):
[0099] (11);
[0100] Specifically, to determine the fluid saturation of the mixed layer, the average formation porosity corresponding to the selected pure hydrate layer in the target well is read. Average neutron porosity Average NMR porosity Solve the system of equations by combining equations (8) and (11). and Based on the calculated gas saturation Substitute into equation (9) to obtain the water saturation at each depth point in the mixed layer. By using the fact that the sum of the saturations of the three factors is 1, the hydrate saturation can finally be calculated. .

[0124] IV. To illustrate the evaluation effect achievable by the method for obtaining the three-phase saturation of natural gas hydrates provided by this invention, a practical example is used for explanation, as follows:
[0125] Example 1
[0126] This embodiment provides a method for obtaining the three-phase saturation of natural gas hydrates, as detailed below:
[0127] Take a well drilled in the southeastern sea area of Qiongdong in 2021 as an example (QDN-A). Figure 4 This is a composite histogram of logging curves for well QDN-A. Based on the logging response characteristics of the mixed-layer section, the mixed-layer section of well QDN-A is 138-141 mbsf, which is section B in the figure.
[0128] Step 1: Establish the neutron porosity logging interpretation model corresponding to the mixed section B of the QDN-A well.
[0129] (1);
[0130] Step 2: Select a pure hydrate layer with similar lithology to the mixed section of well QDN-A and adjacent to it, and establish a neutron porosity logging interpretation model for the pure hydrate layer.
[0131] from Figure 4The second natural gamma curve shows that the hydrated section A (135-138 mbsf) in well QDN-A has similar lithology to the mixed section B and is directly overlying the mixed section B. The penultimate curve also shows that the formation porosity of the two sections is essentially a straight line with no significant variation; the density neutron curves are basically overlapping, showing no gas response characteristics. Therefore, the conditions for the selected pure hydrated section are met.
[0132] The neutron porosity logging interpretation model for the pure hydrate zone A is as follows:
[0133] (2);
[0134] Step 3: Establish a nuclear magnetic resonance porosity logging interpretation model for the mixed-layer section B of well QDNB-A.
[0135] Based on the traditional volumetric model, the nuclear magnetic resonance porosity interpretation model is as follows:
