Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for on-site three-dimensional reconstruction of rock cores. Background Art

[0002] As important physical geological data, cores, especially cores thousands of meters deep in the earth obtained by continental scientific drilling projects, are the core medium for studying deep materials and structures, and therefore are precious archives for studying the evolution and changes of the earth. With the advancement of science and technology, the digitization of cores has become inevitable, and the information industry driven by digital cores will greatly promote the research of earth sciences and the development of related industries.

[0003] Currently, due to the constraints of the drilling site space and complex environmental factors, the digitization of cores is mostly arranged in the relevant core collection departments far away from the well site. In addition, due to the large size and inconvenience of movement of existing high-precision imaging devices such as internal structure imaging devices based on X-CT technology, there is only a small amount of digitization work at present. However, the cores obtained from the deep earth with great difficulty will be very sensitive to environmental factors due to their own composition and structure factors through subsequent processing, sorting and transportation. In addition, various human-induced reasons will cause the internal structure of the core to change. In this way, the data obtained in the relevant core collection departments or after sampling and inspection are deviated from the original state of the core after it comes out of the barrel, which in turn affects the evaluation, utilization and development of deep energy resources.

[0072] Exemplary Methods

[0073] Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a method for three-dimensional reconstruction of a core in situ provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment can be applied to electronic devices, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0074] Step 102: Control the core placed on the core feeding device to perform reciprocating linear motion along a set path in the core feeding device.

[0075] Among them, the core is a rock sample taken out from the hole at the drilling site according to the needs of geological exploration work or engineering, using an annular core drill bit or other coring tools; the shape of the core can be cylindrical or other shapes; in this embodiment, the obtained core is placed on a core feeding device, so that the core performs reciprocating linear motion including forward linear motion and reverse linear motion on a set path.

[0076] Step 104 , scanning the core performing the forward linear motion by a three-dimensional scanning device to obtain a grayscale distribution image of the core.

[0077] Optionally, the three-dimensional scanning can use computer tomography (CT) technology to transmit an X-ray beam to the core to obtain a grayscale distribution image of the core; wherein the grayscale has 256 levels, and different levels represent different components, for example, gray represents the core rock mass, and the bright part represents the metal inside the core, etc. For example, Figure 2a Shown is a grayscale image of a core slice obtained by scanning once in an optional example.

[0078] Step 106: Perform three-dimensional reconstruction on the core based on the grayscale distribution image to obtain a reconstructed three-dimensional structure of the core.

[0079] In this embodiment, the internal three-dimensional structure of the core can be obtained by using CT data for three-dimensional reconstruction, and parameters such as pore throat and fractal dimension of the core can be analyzed. For example, using multiple Figure 2a The grayscale image of the core slice shown in the figure is reconstructed in three dimensions to obtain the following Figure 2b The reconstructed three-dimensional structure shown in Figure 1 and the internal structure analysis can be obtained as follows: Figure 2c As shown, the image after the nails inside the core are extracted (the core in this example is a synthetic core, and the nails are added inside to achieve the test).

[0080] Step 108 , scanning the core performing the reverse linear motion by means of a hyperspectral imager to obtain reflectance spectrum data of the core.

[0081] Optionally, a hyperspectral imager is arranged above the core movement path, and the hyperspectral imager is used to collect and analyze the reflectance spectrum data of cores, cuttings and other samples in the wavelength range of 1000-2400nm.

[0082] Step 110: determining the type of at least one mineral and the content of at least one mineral included in the reconstructed three-dimensional structure based on the reflectance spectrum data.

[0083] Optionally, using hyperspectral data, different minerals can be identified based on their spectral diagnostic characteristics, thereby achieving automatic identification of minerals. The identified minerals can be applied to three-dimensional reconstruction to classify the mineral types in the core, further obtain the fine structure of the core, and determine the mineral types and content of the core.

[0084] The above-mentioned embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for on-site three-dimensional reconstruction of a core, which controls a core placed on a core feeding device to perform reciprocating linear motion along a set path in the core feeding device; scans the core performing forward linear motion by a three-dimensional scanning device to obtain a grayscale distribution image of the core; performs three-dimensional reconstruction on the core based on the grayscale distribution image to obtain a reconstructed three-dimensional structure of the core; scans the core performing reverse linear motion by a hyperspectral imager to obtain reflectance spectrum data of the core; determines the type of at least one mineral included in the reconstructed three-dimensional structure and the content of the at least one mineral based on the reflectance spectrum data; this embodiment is based on three-dimensional scanning technology and hyperspectral imaging technology, integrated in a self-developed drilling site device, realizes continuous and uninterrupted scanning of the core, and obtains the prototype state structure and material information of the core at room temperature and pressure before deformation through algorithm reconstruction.

[0085] The disclosed embodiment can simultaneously obtain the three-dimensional internal structure data of the core and the hyperspectral data reflecting the mineralogical information of the scanned core, and can be used in various drilling and coring sites, with convenient operation, timeliness and efficiency, and reliable data.

[0086] In some optional embodiments, step 102 may include: fixing the core on a core support of a core feeding device by a clamping block;

[0087] The core is controlled to perform reciprocating linear motion following the set path of the core support.

[0088] In this embodiment, the core is fixed on the core support by a clamping block. The core support is arranged in the horizontal direction and is used to place the core taken out from the exploration site and provide support for the core. Since most cores are cylindrical, the support surface of the core support that contacts the core is constructed as an arc surface, with the arc surface facing upward. In this way, after the core is placed on the arc support surface provided by the core support, the two sides of the arc support surface will form a barrier to the core, thereby preventing the core from rolling off the arc support surface. The core support can be made of carbon fiber, which has a carbon content of more than 90% and has the characteristics of high strength, high modulus and low density. Its high strength can support samples of larger mass without deformation, and its low density is conducive to the passage of X-rays and has little effect on the imaging of the core. Of course, other manufacturing materials can also be used.

[0089] Optionally, in this embodiment, the power output by the driving mechanism can be transmitted to the core support member through the linear movement adjustment mechanism included in the core feeding device, and the torque can be converted into linear motion and transmitted to the core support member to drive the core support member to reciprocate linear motion within a set range. In this embodiment, since scanning needs to be performed separately during the reciprocating motion, the size of the set range needs to be greater than twice the maximum length of the core.

[0090] As a preferred embodiment of the linear motion adjustment mechanism, the linear motion adjustment mechanism includes a linear guide rail, a slider, and a ball screw matched with the slider. The linear guide rail is installed on the support frame to provide sliding support for the slider. A clamping block is arranged above the slider, and the clamping block is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontally arranged core support member, and the end of the core support member is clamped and fixed in the vertical direction, so that it can completely pass from one side of the three-dimensional scanning device to the other side of the three-dimensional scanning device within a set range, so that the three-dimensional scanning device can effectively perform CT scanning on the core.

[0091] Optionally, the three-dimensional scanning device includes a turntable, an X-ray source and an X-ray detector arranged on one side of the turntable, and an electric slip ring arranged on the other side of the turntable;

[0092] Step 104 may include:

[0093] Based on the electric slip ring driven by the turntable, it provides control signals and power for the X-ray source and X-ray detector;

[0094] The X-ray source and the X-ray detector are controlled according to the control signal to scan the core and obtain a grayscale distribution image of the core.

[0095] The three-dimensional scanning device can be an X-ray three-dimensional CT device, which is used to obtain three-dimensional digital core data. The three-dimensional scanning device includes a turntable, which is rotatable. A through hole can be provided in the center of the turntable. During the CT scanning of the core by the three-dimensional scanning device, the core feeding device that provides support for the core moves horizontally from one side of the through hole to the other side. In other words, the through hole provides a channel for the core support to make reciprocating linear motion within a set range. Therefore, the size of the through hole is adapted to the size of the core support that provides support for the core, so that the core can pass horizontally and can also move slightly in the vertical direction. For example, the shape of the through hole can be circular with a diameter of 220 mm. Correspondingly, the size of the arc-shaped support surface of the core support shall not be greater than the diameter of the through hole, and the height of the core support is limited by the diameter of the through hole.

[0096] In one embodiment, the X-ray detector is an X-ray integrating flat panel detector with a single ray source, the X-ray source and the X-ray detector are simultaneously arranged at a position adjacent to the through hole through a base, the X-ray source is arranged adjacent to the through hole in a manner opposite to the X-ray detector, and the X-ray integrating flat panel detector is used to obtain three-dimensional CT internal structure data of the core. Optionally, the X-ray source is arranged at a position where the X-rays it emits can pass through the core, and the energy intensity of the X-rays will change before and after passing through the core; the intensity of the X-rays emitted by the X-ray source and the time of the emitted rays are controlled by the control of the ray source controller.

[0097] The X-ray integrating flat panel detector is arranged opposite to the X-ray source, and is arranged on both sides of the through hole. It detects the intensity change of the X-ray after passing through the core, images the inside of the core, and obtains the three-dimensional CT internal structure data of the core. The X-ray integrating flat panel detector has the advantages of high imaging resolution and fast imaging speed.

[0098] In one embodiment, an electric slip ring is further provided on the other side of the turntable, the central axis of the electric slip ring and the rotation axis of the turntable are located on the same straight line, the rotor of the electric slip ring is connected to the turntable and driven by the turntable, rotating with the rotation of the turntable, providing power and control signal transmission for the X-ray source and the X-ray integrating flat panel detector in the three-dimensional scanning device.

[0099] The electric slip ring includes a stator and a rotor. Both the stator and the rotor are hollow cylindrical structures with openings at both ends. The stator is rotatably mounted on the outside of the rotor. The central axes of the two are on the same straight line with the center of the through hole.

[0100] A copper ring loop is installed on the rotor, and a brush is installed on the stator. The external electrical connector led out from the stator is connected to an external power supply and a signal control unit through a cable. The external electrical connector is also connected to an X-ray source, an X-ray integrating flat-panel detector, a ray source controller and a detector controller through a cable. The power supply supplies power to all electrical equipment in the three-dimensional scanning device through the cable, and the signal control unit transmits control instructions to the X-ray source and the X-ray integrating flat-panel detector on the turntable through the cable.

[0101] In this embodiment, since the heat generated by the X-ray source and the X-ray integrating flat panel detector during operation is limited, there is no need to add a heat dissipation device. Therefore, in this embodiment, the electric slip ring is used to solve the power supply and signal control of the detector, the ray source and the control computer above the turntable when the turntable rotates continuously, and a high-power ray source and a high signal-to-noise ratio detector can be used.

[0102] Optionally, controlling the X-ray source and the X-ray detector to scan the core according to the control signal to obtain a grayscale distribution image of the core may include:

[0103] According to the control signal, the X-ray source and the X-ray detector are controlled to transmit the X-ray beam to the core every time the set angle is rotated, so as to obtain a grayscale distribution image of the core.

[0104] In this embodiment, the electric slip ring is driven by the rotation of the turntable to provide power for the control signal of the X-ray source and the X-ray detector. Optionally, a CT scan is performed every time the turntable rotates one circle, so that the CT scan of the core is performed at the same angle, or a CT scan is performed every time the turntable rotates a set angle; when the turntable rotates continuously, the core is continuously scanned to obtain multiple grayscale distribution images (slice grayscale images).

[0105] Optionally, before controlling the X-ray source and the X-ray detector to scan the core according to the control signal to obtain the grayscale distribution image of the core, the method further includes:

[0106] Controlling a detector position adjustment mechanism disposed between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector according to a control signal to adjust the distance between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector;

[0107] Based on the adjusted distance, the region of interest between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector is determined.

[0108] The region of interest is the area scanned by the X-ray source and the X-ray detector each time.

[0109] The base in this embodiment is a detector position adjustment mechanism, through which the distance between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector can be increased or decreased to control the region of interest for detection.

[0110] In some optional embodiments, step 110 may include:

[0111] determining the type and distribution of at least one mineral in the core based on the reflectance spectral data;

[0112] The distribution of at least one mineral is applied to the reconstructed three-dimensional structure to determine the type of at least one mineral and the content of at least one mineral included in the reconstructed three-dimensional structure.

[0113] In this embodiment, the hyperspectral imager can be set above the core movement path through a planar line scanning device to obtain reflection spectrum data; by combining the reflection spectrum data with the reconstructed three-dimensional structure, the type of at least one mineral included in the core and the content of at least one mineral can be determined.

[0117] The core feeding device 31 is used to place the core and make the core perform reciprocating linear motion along a set path in the core feeding device according to control.

[0118] The three-dimensional scanning device 32 is used to scan the core performing positive linear motion to obtain a grayscale distribution image of the core.

[0119] The hyperspectral imager 33 is used to scan the core performing the reverse linear motion to obtain the reflection spectrum data of the core.

[0123] Alternatively, if Figure 4a and 4b , which are schematic diagrams of the structure of one side and the other side of the turntable 321, respectively. The three-dimensional scanning device 32 includes: a turntable 321, an X-ray source 322 and an X-ray detector 323 arranged on one side of the turntable 321, and an electric slip ring 324 arranged on the other side of the turntable 321;

[0124] A through hole 325 is provided in the middle of the turntable 321, and the setting path of the core feeding device 31 passes through the through hole 325;

[0125] The electric slip ring 324 is driven by the rotation of the turntable 321 to provide control signals and power for the X-ray source 322 and the X-ray detector 323;

[0126] The X-ray source 322 and the X-ray detector 323 scan the core according to the control signal to obtain a grayscale distribution image of the core.

[0127] The three-dimensional scanning device 32 further includes: a base 326;

[0128] The base 326 is set at a set position away from the through hole 325, and is used to connect the X-ray source 322 and the X-ray detector 323. The distance between the X-ray source 322 and the X-ray detector 323 is increased or decreased by the base 326 to control the area of ​​interest detected by the three-dimensional scanning device 32.

[0129] like Figure 4b As shown, the electric slip ring 324 includes a stator 327 and a rotor 328 connected by a bearing. Both the stator 327 and the rotor 328 are hollow cylindrical structures with openings at both ends. After the rotor 328 is fixed to the stator 327 by docking, it is connected to the turntable 321 through a transfer point based on a hexagonal screw and a locating pin.

[0133] Optionally, the core support 311 can be made of a carbon fiber round tube cut into a semicircle, one end of which is compressed by the compression block 315 so as to be arranged in the horizontal direction, and the other end is suspended so as to pass through the through hole 325 from one side to the other side within a set range.

[0134] The pressing block 315 is arranged on the slider of the linear movement adjusting mechanism 313 through the height adjusting mechanism 312. The height of the pressing block 315 can be adjusted through the height adjusting mechanism 312 so that the central axis of the core on the core support 311 and the center of the through hole of the rotating disk 321 are at the same height;

[0135] A height adjustment mechanism 312 is provided between the pressing block 315 and the slider.

[0142] The reconstruction volume database is used to store the reconstructed three-dimensional structure of the core obtained by the three-dimensional reconstruction device.

[0143] In this embodiment, by constructing a massive database, an index database, and a spatial database, spatial data, core digitization results data, well data, and ground comprehensive object interpretation results data can be effectively managed and applied to improve the efficiency of exploration, development, and scientific research; wherein, the main databases may include a basic spatial database (basic spatial information such as the boundary of the work area, traffic information, and digital elevation model), a borehole database (spatial data of the borehole, i.e., the location data of the borehole for obtaining the core), a core catalog database (data generated during the core catalog process), a core scanning database (grayscale images of the core obtained by an X-ray three-dimensional CT device), a hyperspectral database (reflection spectrum data collected by a hyperspectral imager), a reconstruction database (three-dimensional reconstruction using hyperspectral data and CT grayscale images), a core comprehensive database (a comprehensive analysis library of core analysis results after reconstruction and logging, rock physics, geochemistry, and other data), and the like. The on-site core 3D reconstruction system applies massive data storage technology, spatial database technology (integrating data sets of spatial element characteristics in a certain area), GIS analysis technology (obtaining and analyzing information such as the spatial position, distribution, morphology, formation and evolution of relevant geographic objects in spatial data), 3D visualization technology, etc., to integrate the digital core data resources acquired in segments, build a networked, visualized management and sharing service system for exploration and development and scientific researchers, and realize the standardization and normalization of data collection, processing and storage.

[0144] Digital core processing and analysis: 3D reconstruction is performed using CT data to obtain the internal 3D structure of the core (for example, Figure 2a , 2band 2c), the pore throat, fractal dimension and other parameters of the core can be analyzed; using hyperspectral data, different minerals can be identified based on their spectral diagnostic characteristics to achieve automatic identification of minerals; applying the identified minerals to three-dimensional reconstruction can classify the mineral types in the core, further obtain the fine structure of the core, and determine the mineral types and content of the core. Comprehensive application: by driving the database, geographic information retrieval, map visualization operation, reading and processing image files and other functions, a large amount of spatial data, logging data, other geophysical data and geochemical data are called for different combined analysis to establish a core database and prospecting application model. For example: effectively integrate the single well core information with the regional survey data to realize the display of detailed information of the well site through the drilling line; output the survey line data of the work area where the well site is located; display the seismic profile of the well site area; display and output the fusion interpretation results data; query and output the relevant report documents of the survey area; display and output the cross-well profile of the single well area and multi-well area; and display and output the calibration seismic profile and the interpretation results.
