Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Shale contains various clay minerals, organic matter, clay particles arranged in a certain direction, and microcracks, which make the influence on the elastic parameters of shale complex. Compared with conventional sandstone and shale, shale has more complex mineral composition and pore structure, and stronger anisotropy. The anisotropy of shale mainly reflects the diversity of mineral composition, microcracks and the directional arrangement of clay mineral particles. The anisotropic elastic parameters of shale are widely used in seismic imaging, seismic data processing and reservoir characterization. However, the anisotropic parameters of shale cannot be directly measured by logging data. At present, Thomsen parameters are mainly used to characterize anisotropy.

[0067] Optionally, in constructing an objective function based on the error between the stiffness coefficient of the corresponding rock physics model and the stiffness coefficient of the actual logging data, the objective function is:
[0068]
[0069] where K0 is the bulk modulus of the background mineral matrix, μ0 is the Lame's constant, d c is the fracture density and α is the aspect ratio of the α-elliptical fractures, and J is the objective function.

[0079] Optionally, the setting of the search interval comprises:
[0080] setting the range of the mixed background medium bulk modulus, the shear modulus upper and lower boundaries and the aspect ratio as the search interval.
[0081] Embodiment two:
[0082] The Hudson-Cheng model used in the rock physics model is a second-order approximation model of the equivalent modulus of fractures based on elliptical inclusions constructed by Hudson (1981) and Cheng (1993). The model assumes that the fracture density in the complete shale formation is very small, and thus ignores the second-order correction of the background medium in the original formula. The first-order approximation is used in this embodiment. The corresponding stiffness coefficient is given in the following format:
[0083]
[0084] where the equivalent modulus can be obtained from well logs. is the isotropic background medium modulus, which is assumed to contain spherical inclusions of the rock matrix and the filling water or brine. is the first order correction term due to the presence of penny-shaped cracks. The background medium modulus is given by
[0085]
[0086]
[0087]
[0088] where λ and μ are the Lame's constants in the isotropic medium. The first order correction term is given by
[0089]
[0090]
[0091]
[0092]
[0093]
[0094] where the crack density is determined by the crack porosity φ s and the pore aspect ratio α of the elliptical cracks. For fluid-filled weak inclusions:
[0095]
[0096]
[0097] where
[0098]
[0099] where K f is the bulk modulus of the fluid, and K0is the bulk modulus of the background mineral matrix. In a vertical well, the compressional and shear wave velocities and the density curve provide the and equivalent moduli, where
[0100]
[0101]
[0102] The idea of this embodiment is to improve the existing anisotropy parameter inversion framework according to the mineral composition information of the logging curve, so that the anisotropy parameters of shale data can be calculated in the case of logging curve with only mineral composition and P-S wave velocity information. The main method adopted is the optimal matching of model data and actual data.
[0103] The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0104] 1. For multi-mineral calculation, the upper and lower boundaries of the mixed minerals need to be calculated in combination with the logging mineral composition information to obtain the medium modulus variation range of the background, wherein the mineral composition of clay needs to be reasonably estimated. The upper and lower boundaries calculated can contain multiple possible cases.
[0105] 2. In combination with the P-S wave velocity and density of the logging data, the corresponding stiffness coefficients can be calculated. and
[0106] 3. The stiffness coefficients C 33Model and C 44Model of the rock physics model are calculated by using formula 13 and formula 14.
[0107]
[0108]
[0109] 4. The mixed background medium volume modulus and shear modulus upper and lower boundaries and the pore aspect ratio variation range are set as the search interval by using the grid search method, then the fluid is replaced, and the optimal values of the volume modulus, shear modulus and pore aspect ratio within the 5% range are calculated by the constraint of formula 15 target function. The volume modulus K0, Lame constant μ0 and crack density d c of the background mineral skeleton and the pore aspect ratio α of the ellipsoidal crack can be calculated.
[0110]
[0111] Formula 15 minimizes the difference between the actual observation and the model calculation of the vertical P-S wave velocity. For this inversion, the only adjustable parameter is the boundary and the step size of the search space for each model parameter. The boundary set by the algorithm is as wide as possible to meet the model parameters under various conditions. The search step size is small enough to have the highest accuracy for the final solution.
[0112] 5. The parameters obtained by inversion are substituted into the Hudson-Cheng model to calculate the elastic parameters of the model. The anisotropy parameters are calculated by using the definition of Thomsen anisotropy parameters.
[0113] In a specific application scenario, the invention was used to simulate the anisotropic parameter inversion of logging data on a shale logging curve in Sichuan, achieving good calculation results.
[0114] Figures 2a to 2f The well data is from the Sichuan Basin in China, primarily focusing on the Longmaxi Formation. The well log curves are distributed from a depth of 4050m to 4250m. For ease of analysis, the well logs are divided into 13 sections from top to bottom. Each section contains information on P-wave and S-wave velocities, density, porosity, gamma-ray curves, and mineral composition. This low-porosity log curve is primarily composed of clay, calcite, and quartz, with organic matter and pyrite intercalation, representing a relatively complex multi-mineral model. The density curve is relatively flat, and only minerals below 4180m can be distinguished.
[0115] Figures 3a to 3i From left to right are shear wave velocity, compressional wave velocity, fracture density, matrix shear modulus, matrix Lame modulus, anisotropy parameter δ, relative error in compressional and shear wave velocities, anisotropy parameter ε, and lithologic composition. The matrix elastic modulus is calculated using the average of the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds, and the anisotropy parameters are derived using conventional methods. The pore aspect ratio coefficient was empirically selected as 0.01. Information such as fracture density is miscalculated, and the errors in compressional and shear wave velocities are too large to be reliable, indicating that the model is no longer suitable for prediction.
[0116] Figures 4a to 4i To use the Hashin-Shtrikman mixture of solid as the upper and lower bounds to search for K0, μ0, and fracture density, the pore aspect ratio α is fixed to 0.01. Then the well logging data is inverted to obtain Figures 5a to 5i .from Figures 4a to 4i It can be seen that the error in the shear wave velocity is large, while the error in the longitudinal wave velocity is acceptable. The bulk modulus and shear modulus of the matrix tend to be minimum.
[0117] Figures 5a to 5i The pore aspect ratio α was adjusted to 0.025. The pore aspect ratio has a significant impact on the search results. The bulk modulus and shear modulus of the matrix show that changing the pore aspect ratio causes these moduli to approach the middle of the elastic limit, which is more consistent with rock physics. Figures 5a to 5i The error of the P-wave velocity is significantly reduced, and the error of the S-wave velocity is also smaller. A reasonable pore aspect ratio is very important for the inversion result.
[0118] Figures 6a to 6iThe results of the optimization adjustment calculation of the pore aspect ratio are shown in the figure. The errors of the P and S wave velocities calculated in this way are relatively small, and the well logging curves can be seen to be nearly completely overlapped. The information of each well logging data point can obtain the corresponding value and the corresponding fracture density belongs to the reasonable interval. By using the Hashin-Shtrikman upper and lower bounds as the search interval, K0 and μ0 and α are inverted to obtain the anisotropic parameters. Here, two methods are used to control the P and S wave velocities, and the error rate of the calculation results is very low. Overall, the dependence on the interval is relatively large, and the calculation amount is relatively large compared with the previous method.
