Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of oil and gas, and more specifically, to an intelligent modeling method for the rock mechanical properties of tight sandstone reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of oil and gas exploration and development, the rock mechanical properties of tight sandstone reservoirs (such as Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and cohesion) are key parameters for evaluating reservoir fracturing potential, optimizing drilling design, and improving oil recovery. Currently, common rock mechanical property modeling methods mainly include the following: (1) Well logging interpolation-based method: Using limited well logging data, spatial interpolation is performed through geostatistical methods (such as Kriging interpolation) to construct a three-dimensional distribution model of rock mechanical parameters. This method is limited by well density and distribution uniformity, resulting in low prediction accuracy in inter-well regions and difficulty in reflecting reservoir heterogeneity.
[0003] (2) Method based on direct conversion of seismic attributes: Elastic parameters (such as P-wave / S-wave velocity ratio, wave impedance, etc.) obtained by seismic inversion are directly converted into rock mechanics parameters. Although this method can provide a continuous spatial distribution, the conversion relationship is usually based on empirical formulas, and its applicability is limited.
[0004] (3) Method based on geological modeling and attribute assignment: First, a three-dimensional geological structure model is established, and then corresponding rock mechanical parameters are assigned according to the distribution of lithofacies or sedimentary facies. The parameter assignment of this method mostly relies on statistical averages or simple proportional relationships, and fails to establish a quantitative physical relationship between parameters and lithology, resulting in insufficient model accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an intelligent modeling method for the rock mechanical properties of tight sandstone reservoirs. This method aims to solve the technical problems in existing intelligent modeling methods for the rock mechanical properties of tight sandstone reservoirs, such as the inability to accurately characterize reservoir heterogeneity due to reliance on well point interpolation or low-resolution seismic data, insufficient physical basis of the model due to ineffective integration of multi-source data, and poor reliability of fault zone modeling due to the lack of quantitative consideration of fault disturbance.
[0006] The first aspect of this invention provides an intelligent modeling method for the rock mechanical properties of tight sandstone reservoirs, comprising: Acquire 3D seismic interpretation data, well logging data, and rock mechanics experimental data; Based on the aforementioned three-dimensional seismic interpretation data, a three-dimensional geological structure model of tight sandstone reservoirs incorporating fault structures was established. Based on the well logging data and rock mechanics experimental data, static rock mechanics parameters were calculated, and a quantitative fitting relationship between the static rock mechanics parameters and the sand-storage ratio was established; wherein, the sand-storage ratio is the ratio of the sandstone thickness in the reservoir to the total thickness of the section. The lithological factor data volume is extracted from the three-dimensional seismic interpretation data. Based on the critical values of sandstone and mudstone calibrated by the well logging data, the lithological factor data volume is judged to generate the three-dimensional spatial distribution of sandstone and mudstone. Based on the three-dimensional spatial distribution, a three-dimensional sand-reservoir ratio distribution model is obtained. Based on the three-dimensional sand-storage ratio distribution model and quantitative fitting relationship, the initial values of rock mechanical parameters of each grid cell are calculated, and the three-dimensional geological structure model is assigned values based on the initial values of the rock mechanical parameters; a quantitative attenuation relationship between the static rock mechanical parameters and fault distance is established, and the rock mechanical parameter values of the grid cells within the fault disturbance range are corrected using the attenuation relationship to obtain the final three-dimensional rock mechanical property model.

Based on the dynamic and static rock mechanics parameters, a conversion relationship between the dynamic and static parameters is established. Using this conversion relationship, the dynamic rock mechanics parameters are converted into static rock mechanics parameters, thereby obtaining a static rock mechanics parameter curve. Based on the static rock mechanics parameter curves, the average static rock mechanics parameters of each layer and the corresponding sand-storage ratio are calculated. The average value of the static rock mechanical parameters is fitted to the sand-storage ratio to obtain the quantitative fitting relationship.
[0010] In one alternative implementation, a lithological factor data volume is extracted from three-dimensional seismic interpretation data, including obtaining a lithological factor data volume capable of characterizing lithological differences through seismic inversion.

The lithological factor critical value is used to distinguish the lithological factor data volume, and a three-dimensional spatial distribution data volume of sandstone and mudstone is generated.
[0012] In one optional implementation, the three-dimensional geological structure model is assigned values and faults are corrected based on the initial values of the rock mechanical parameters, including: Obtain the static rock mechanics parameters of multiple wells in the target layer near the fault, and obtain the normal distance between a single well and the fault; The static rock mechanical parameters are fitted with the corresponding normal distance to establish the attenuation relationship of static rock mechanical parameters with distance within the fault influence zone; During the assignment of rock mechanical parameters, grid cells located within the fault influence zone are identified, their normal distance from the fault is calculated, and the initial values of the rock mechanical parameters are corrected by substituting them into the attenuation relationship.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an intelligent modeling method for the rock mechanical properties of tight sandstone reservoirs, as proposed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, an intelligent modeling method for the rock mechanical properties of tight sandstone reservoirs includes: S100: Acquire 3D seismic interpretation data, well logging data, and rock mechanics experimental data; In this embodiment, the three-dimensional seismic interpretation data includes structural interpretation results, fault interpretation results, and other related data, which can be used for three-dimensional modeling of reservoir structures and faults; the well logging data includes at least P-wave transit time, S-wave transit time, and density data, as well as accurate interpretation data of sandstone and mudstone intervals at the well points, providing a basis for calculating rock mechanics parameters and calibrating critical values of lithology factors; the rock mechanics experimental data are static rock mechanics parameter data measured by core experiments, used to establish the conversion relationship between dynamic and static rock mechanics parameters. The above-mentioned multi-source data provides data support for the entire subsequent modeling process.
[0021] S200: Based on the aforementioned three-dimensional seismic interpretation data, establish a three-dimensional geological structure model of tight sandstone reservoirs that incorporates fault structures; In this embodiment, based on the structural interpretation results of the three-dimensional seismic interpretation data, the three-dimensional spatial distribution of the top and bottom structures of the target layer and each sub-layer in the study area is first obtained, such as... Figure 3 As shown. Based on the required vertical resolution, the thickness division scheme for each sublayer was determined. The structural layer data was imported into Rhino software using the geological modeling software Petrel and converted into a 3D mesh model to establish a 3D structural model of the reservoir, as shown. Figure 4 As shown; then, based on the fault interpretation results of the aforementioned 3D seismic interpretation data, the spatial location, dip angle, strike, and other geometric parameters of the fault are obtained, and the fault disturbance range is determined. Combining this disturbance range, the built-in plugin griddle of Rhino software is used to employ local mesh adaptive refinement technology on the basis of the established structural model to finely characterize the 3D spatial morphology of faults of different orders, thus constructing a 3D fault model, as shown. Figure 6 As shown; the fault disturbance range is determined by collecting minimum principal stress gradient data from multiple wells within the work area and the vertical distance from the corresponding well points to the fault. Correlation fitting analysis is performed on these two sets of data to establish a quantitative relationship model of the minimum principal stress gradient changing with the vertical distance from the fault. Based on the numerical variation characteristics and correlation significance of the model, the effective threshold for fault disturbance to the geostress field is determined, thus obtaining the effective range of fault disturbance. Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the fault disturbance range is determined to be 400 meters based on the quantitative fitting relationship; finally, the three-dimensional structural model and the three-dimensional fault model are fused to generate a three-dimensional geological structure model of a tight sandstone reservoir that integrates the matrix strata and fault system and incorporates the fault structure, as shown. Figure 7 As shown, this model provides accurate grid cells for the subsequent spatial assignment of rock mechanical properties.
[0022] S300: Based on the well logging data and rock mechanics experimental data, static rock mechanics parameters are calculated, and a quantitative fitting relationship between the static rock mechanics parameters and the sand-storage ratio is established; wherein, the sand-storage ratio is the ratio of the sandstone thickness in the reservoir to the total thickness of the section. In this embodiment, based on the P-wave transit time, S-wave transit time, and density data in the well logging data, the dynamic rock mechanics parameters of a single well are calculated using elasticity formulas. These rock mechanics parameters include at least Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. The calculation formulas are as follows: Dynamic Poisson's ratio: ; Dynamic Young's modulus: ; in, For transverse wave time difference, For P-wave time difference, This refers to the logging density.
[0023] Based on the same well, static rock mechanics parameters were obtained through core rock mechanics experiments. Subsequently, based on the dynamic and static rock mechanics parameters, multiple sets of correlation data of dynamic and static rock mechanics parameters were collected for fitting analysis to establish a quantitative conversion relationship model between dynamic and static parameters, such as... Figure 8 As shown, using the aforementioned conversion relationship, the dynamic rock mechanics parameters of the entire well section are corrected to static rock mechanics parameters, thereby obtaining a single-well static rock mechanics parameter curve with high vertical resolution, as shown below. Figure 9 As shown; then, based on the static rock mechanics parameter curve, the average static rock mechanics parameter value and the corresponding sand-reservoir ratio of each layer are calculated; finally, the correlation data between the average static rock mechanics parameter value and the corresponding sand-reservoir ratio of each layer are collected, and correlation analysis and fitting are performed to establish a quantitative fitting relationship model between the sand-reservoir ratio and rock mechanics parameters of different layers, as shown. Figure 10 As shown, the quantitative fitting relationship formula obtained in this embodiment is: E = 10.639 × Si + 34.155 μ = -0.0323 × Si + 0.1796 Where Si is the sand-storage ratio of the i-th layer, E is Young's modulus, and μ is Poisson's ratio.
[0024] S400: Extract lithological factor data volume from 3D seismic interpretation data, discriminate the lithological factor data volume based on the critical values of sandstone and mudstone calibrated by the well logging data, generate the 3D spatial distribution of sandstone and mudstone, and obtain the 3D sand-reservoir ratio distribution model based on the 3D spatial distribution. In this embodiment, lithological factor data volumes that can effectively characterize lithological differences are extracted from 3D seismic interpretation data through seismic inversion; lithological factor values corresponding to sandstone and mudstone intervals interpreted from well logging at well points are collected, and critical values for distinguishing sandstone and mudstone are determined through comparative analysis; in this embodiment, lithological factors greater than 0.2 are identified as sandstone, and vice versa for mudstone. Figure 11 As shown; the lithological factor critical values are used to discriminate the lithological factor data volume, generating a three-dimensional spatial distribution data volume of sandstone and mudstone within each sublayer, as shown. Figure 12 As shown; finally, based on the three-dimensional spatial distribution data of sandstone and mudstone, the thickness of sandstone and mudstone in each sub-layer was statistically obtained, according to the definition formula of sand-reservoir ratio: S i =H i砂 / (H i砂 +H i泥 ) Among them, S i Let H be the sand reservoir ratio of the i-th layer. i砂 H represents the thickness of the i-th sandstone layer. i泥 Let be the thickness of the mudstone in the i-th layer.
[0025] The planar distribution of sand-storage ratio in different sub-layers was calculated, and then a three-dimensional sand-storage ratio distribution model was constructed, such as... Figure 13 As shown, due to the continuous vertical and horizontal distribution and high resolution of 3D seismic lithology factors, the accuracy limitations of traditional modeling methods are overcome. Therefore, different grid step sizes, such as 10×10m, 20×20m, and 50×50m, can be flexibly set according to different research accuracy requirements to obtain sand-reservoir ratio distribution fields with different interpretation accuracies. The sand-reservoir ratio distribution obtained in this way is far more accurate than that of traditional wellpoint interpolation methods, and can effectively characterize the strong heterogeneity of tight sandstone reservoirs, providing an accurate lithological parameter basis for subsequent high-precision rock mechanics parameter modeling.
[0026] S500: Based on the three-dimensional sand-storage ratio distribution model and quantitative fitting relationship, the initial values of rock mechanical parameters of each grid cell are calculated, and the three-dimensional geological structure model is assigned values based on the initial values of the rock mechanical parameters; a quantitative attenuation relationship between the static rock mechanical parameters and fault mechanical properties is established, and the rock mechanical parameter values of the grid cells within the fault disturbance range are corrected using the attenuation relationship to obtain the final three-dimensional rock mechanical property model.
[0027] In this embodiment, the sand-storage ratio data of the three-dimensional sand-storage ratio distribution model is substituted into the quantitative fitting relationship to directly calculate the initial values of rock mechanical parameters corresponding to each grid unit in the three-dimensional geological structure model of the tight sandstone reservoir with integrated fault structure. By writing an automatic assignment script with embedded programming languages such as FISH, the calculated initial values of rock mechanical parameters are batch assigned to the corresponding grid units of the three-dimensional geological structure model to complete the attribute assignment of the reservoir matrix.
[0028] Building upon the assignment of matrix properties, this invention quantitatively corrects the grid cells within the fault influence zone to further improve the accuracy of rock mechanical property modeling near the fault zone. First, measured in-situ stress data from multiple wells near the fault for different target layers are acquired. The measured shear stress intensity of each stratigraphic unit is calculated using the shear stress intensity calculation formula, and the theoretical shear stress intensity under undisturbed conditions is obtained. Then, the comprehensive shear stress index of each stratigraphic unit is calculated using the comprehensive shear stress index calculation model for the fault. This index quantitatively characterizes the degree of disturbance of the fault to the in-situ stress field; a larger T value indicates a stronger disturbance. Simultaneously, the normal distance between each stratigraphic unit and the fault is obtained. For cases where only the horizontal distance is known, it is converted to normal distance based on the fault dip angle. Geometric corrections are then performed based on the well location on the hanging wall or footwall of the fault and the positional relationship of different depth layers to accurately calculate the normal distance of each layer. Based on this, the comprehensive shear index of geostress faults in different single wells and different target sections was fitted with the corresponding normal distance to establish an exponential attenuation function relationship. This fitting model quantitatively describes the law that the fault disturbance intensity decreases with the increase of normal distance.
[0029] In the process of assigning rock mechanical parameters, grid cells located within the fault influence zone are identified, their normal distance from the fault is calculated, and the result is substituted into the aforementioned fitting model to obtain the geostress-fault comprehensive shear index at that grid cell location, i.e., the fault disturbance intensity at that location. Then, the initial values of rock mechanical parameters directly calculated from the sand-storage ratio are corrected based on this disturbance intensity. The correction relationship can be established according to the actual statistical laws of the work area. For example, based on the comparative analysis of measured rock mechanical parameters near the fault and matrix background values, a correspondence between disturbance intensity and correction coefficient is established to achieve differentiated correction of the initial values. Through the above correction, the correction amplitude is larger for grid cells closer to the fault and smaller for grid cells farther from the fault, until it approaches the matrix background value.
[0030] The specific process takes the i-th layer of the research area as an example: Sand-reservoir ratio data points were collected according to a grid step size of 1500m×1500m, resulting in 17605 sand-reservoir ratio data points for this layer. These data points were then divided into a C1 table containing the horizontal axis, a C2 table containing the vertical axis, and a C3 table containing the sand-reservoir ratio. The three-dimensional geological structure model was then imported into FLAC3D software, and the quantitative fitting formula was programmed into the programming language to assign rock mechanics parameters to each unit grid. Simultaneously, well logging rock mechanics parameters and measured geostress data from different sections of multiple wells near the fault zone in this research area were obtained. The normal distance from each well's corresponding section to the fault was accurately calculated, forming multiple sets of correlated data samples of "rock mechanics parameters - geostress fault comprehensive shear index - normal distance". Correlation analysis and fitting were performed on the sample data to establish a quantitative relationship model of the variation of rock mechanics parameters within the fault influence zone with the normal distance from the fault, as shown in Figure 14. As shown, in the process of assigning rock mechanical parameters, all grid cells located within the fault influence zone are first identified through a three-dimensional geological structure model. The normal distance from each target grid cell to the fault is accurately calculated. The correction coefficients of the corresponding grid cells are obtained by substituting them into the quantitative relationship model. Then, the initial values of the rock mechanical parameters are differentially corrected using these correction coefficients. This achieves a refined modeling effect where the correction amplitude is larger the closer to the fault and smaller the correction amplitude the farther away, until it approaches the matrix background value. Finally, a high-precision three-dimensional rock mechanical property model that considers both lithological changes and lateral disturbances of the fault is obtained. The principle and process of this model are also applicable to constructing three-dimensional models of other rock mechanical parameters such as cohesion, internal friction angle, compressive strength, and tensile strength. It can provide a reliable mechanical parameter field for reservoir fracturing evaluation, fracturing simulation, and wellbore stability analysis.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of an intelligent modeling device for the rock mechanical properties of tight sandstone reservoirs, as proposed in one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this disclosure also provides an intelligent modeling device for the mechanical properties of tight sandstone reservoirs. The device includes: a multi-source data acquisition module 201, a fault fusion geological modeling module 202, a mechanical parameter-sand-reservoir ratio fitting module 203, a three-dimensional sand-reservoir ratio modeling module 204, and a fault-corrected mechanical property modeling module 205; wherein, The multi-source data acquisition module 201 is used to acquire three-dimensional seismic interpretation data, well logging data, and rock mechanics experimental data. The fault fusion geological modeling module 202 establishes a three-dimensional geological structure model of tight sandstone reservoirs with fused fault structures based on the three-dimensional seismic interpretation data. The mechanical parameter-sand-reservoir ratio fitting module 203 calculates static rock mechanical parameters based on the well logging data and rock mechanical experimental data, and establishes a quantitative fitting relationship between the static rock mechanical parameters and the sand-reservoir ratio; wherein, the sand-reservoir ratio is the ratio of the sandstone thickness in the reservoir to the total thickness of the section. The three-dimensional sand-reservoir ratio modeling module 204 extracts lithological factor data volumes from three-dimensional seismic interpretation data, discriminates the lithological factor data volumes based on the critical values of sandstone and mudstone calibrated by the well logging data, generates the three-dimensional spatial distribution of sandstone and mudstone, and obtains a three-dimensional sand-reservoir ratio distribution model based on the three-dimensional spatial distribution; and The fault-corrected mechanical property modeling module 205 calculates the initial values of rock mechanical parameters for each grid cell based on the three-dimensional sand-storage ratio distribution model and quantitative fitting relationship, and assigns the three-dimensional geological structure model based on the initial values of the rock mechanical parameters; establishes a quantitative attenuation relationship between the static rock mechanical parameters and the fault distance, and uses the attenuation relationship to correct the rock mechanical parameter values of the grid cells within the fault disturbance range, thereby obtaining the final three-dimensional rock mechanical property model.
[0032] This disclosure also provides an electronic device, please refer to... Figure 17 , Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram of an electronic device illustrated in an embodiment of this disclosure. For example... Figure 17 As shown, the electronic device 100 includes a memory 110 and a processor 120. The memory 110 and the processor 120 are connected via a bus for communication. The memory 110 stores a computer program that can run on the processor 120 to implement the steps in the intelligent modeling method for the rock mechanical properties of tight sandstone reservoirs disclosed in this embodiment.
[0033] The disclosed embodiments also provide a computer-readable storage medium that, when the instructions in the computer-readable storage medium are executed by a processor of a computer device, enables the computer device to perform the steps in the intelligent modeling method for the rock mechanical properties of tight sandstone reservoirs as described in the embodiments of this disclosure.
[0034] Example 1 This invention conducted modeling verification experiments in a tight sandstone reservoir research area. The rock mechanical properties of the i-th layer in the area were modeled using both existing traditional modeling methods and the method of this invention. The modeling effect of fractured sections and the overall modeling efficiency were compared and verified. The existing Kriging interpolation method based on well logging data, relying only on interpolation data from a few to dozens of wells with well spacing of 1km to 10km, generates a planar distribution model of Young's modulus in a small layer, as shown below. Figure 15As shown. In the inter-well region, the mechanical parameter field is a smooth, gradually changing field, which cannot characterize the lateral heterogeneity of the reservoir. Furthermore, the modeling process of manual interpolation and assignment for a single layer takes several days. Simultaneously, existing methods ignore the influence of fault disturbances, homogenizing the fault zone with the surrounding rock, leading to significant deviations between the fault development zone model and the actual formation mechanical characteristics, resulting in model distortion. However, when modeling using the method of this invention, three-dimensional seismic lithology factors, well logging elastic parameters, and rock mechanics experimental data are integrated to construct a physical-driven modeling chain of "well logging interpretation → seismic lithology → sand-reservoir ratio → mechanical parameters." Using three-dimensional seismic lithology factors as the sand-reservoir ratio interpretation data source, fine interpretation grids such as 10×10m, 20×20m, and 50×50m can be set. In the i-th layer of the study area, 17605 sand-reservoir ratio data points were obtained, generating a Young's modulus plane distribution model, as shown... Figure 16 As shown, the model can clearly delineate the boundaries between high-value stripes and low-value blocks in the inter-well region, accurately reproducing the heterogeneous distribution characteristics of the reservoir. Simultaneously, statistical analysis determined the effective range of fault disturbance in the work area to be 400 meters, establishing a quantitative attenuation relationship between rock mechanical parameters within the fault influence zone and the distance from the fault. Differential corrections were made to the mechanical parameters of the fault zone grid units, achieving quantitative modeling of fault disturbance. The model parameters highly match the actual formation logging and experimental data. Furthermore, relying on the FISH embedded programming language, an automatic assignment script was written, integrating Petrel+FLAC3D and Rhino+Griddle to form a multi-software collaborative workflow. This enabled automatic traversal of grid units, parameter calculation, and attribute assignment, with lossless data transfer throughout the entire process. The single-layer modeling processing time in the work area was reduced from several days to several minutes, completely replacing traditional manual operations. Experimental verification shows that the rock mechanical property model constructed by the method of this invention is far superior to existing technologies in terms of spatial resolution, data density, and heterogeneity characterization. It also effectively solves the problem of model distortion in fracture development zones, while achieving an order-of-magnitude improvement in modeling efficiency. The entire process is standardized and reproducible, making it suitable for industrial application.
