Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microseismic signal processing in wells, and more specifically, to a method, device, electronic equipment and medium for monitoring and positioning microseismic signals in ultra-deep wells. Background Art
[0002] Well microseismic monitoring is one of the microseismic observation methods. Its characteristic is that the three-component geophones in the well receive the full wavefield signal of microseismic. Compared with the ground microseismic monitoring, the data received in the well has a higher signal-to-noise ratio and a richer number and type of microseismic events. However, due to the limited number of microseismic geophones in the well (generally 12 to 32 three-component geophones in the well), the monitoring range is small. At the same time, there are certain requirements for the selection of monitoring wells and observation wells. For example, the optimal radial distance from the fracturing section of the monitoring well to the geophone of the observation well is 200 to 800 meters internationally, but the actual distance is often larger, which usually leads to unstable and low-precision microseismic positioning phenomena.
[0003] At present, the main methods for microseismic positioning in wells are: one is based on the forward modeling of the travel time of longitudinal and transverse waves. Representative algorithms include network search method, simulated annealing method, Geiger method, etc. The advantage is that it is easy to implement, and the disadvantage is that the travel time of longitudinal and transverse waves of microseismic events is difficult to pick up accurately, which affects the positioning results; the second is based on wave equation convolution. Representative algorithms include interference method, reverse time migration method, and passive source imaging method. The advantage is that it does not need to pick up the first arrival of the event. The disadvantage is that it has high requirements on the data signal-to-noise ratio and velocity model, requires a large number of detectors, and has high calculation cost; the third is the difference between anisotropic and isotropic travel time calculations. In anisotropic media, the error of isotropic travel time calculation is large, and the corresponding positioning error is also large.
[0004] In recent years, with the continuous increase in the world's demand for energy and the advancement of exploration technology, the exploration and development of oil and gas resources has continued to develop in depth. More and more major exploration target layers have shown a trend of sinking overall, and the number of abnormally high-temperature deep wells with a depth of more than 4500m and a temperature exceeding 170°C is increasing. Fracturing, as the most effective measure to increase production in this type of reservoir, has also received more and more attention at home and abroad. However, the high temperature and high pressure of deep strata have also brought more difficulties to the transformation of oil and gas strata. A series of problems such as high-temperature fracturing fluid (above 180°C), the incompatibility of fracturing design theory and technology for ultra-high temperature reservoirs, and the optimization of large-scale fracturing have become the "bottlenecks" that restrict the realization of the benefits of exploration and development of this type of oil and gas fields. For ultra-deep microseismic positioning processing, the current positioning method cannot meet the positioning accuracy requirements.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method, device, electronic equipment and medium for microseismic monitoring and positioning in ultra-deep wells based on the combined time difference polynomial fitting of P- and S-wave travel times.

[0065] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
[0066] The carbonate reservoirs in Tahe Oilfield in Tabei are characterized by deep burial, weak seismic reflection signals and strong heterogeneity. The reservoirs in Songnan area are complex, have large reserves, are deep and have ultra-low permeability. Ultra-deep oil and gas reservoir fracturing is one of the most challenging measures to increase production in low-permeability reservoirs. It is necessary to formulate a complete set of high-performance fracturing technologies to achieve huge production in deep oil and gas reservoirs and deep tight gas reservoirs. Among them are the requirements for ultra-deep microseismic monitoring and processing technology to eliminate or reduce the instability and inaccuracy of microseismic event positioning. Therefore, the present invention utilizes the characteristics of the combination of the longitudinal wave travel time, the transverse wave travel time and the longitudinal and transverse wave time difference of the ultra-deep perforation signal to present a high degree of polynomial, fits the positioning target function, inputs the combined time difference of the longitudinal and transverse wave travel time of the microseismic event, obtains the initial positioning result of the microseismic event, and then uses the grid search method to further search for microseismic event positioning results with higher accuracy within a smaller range.
[0067] The present invention provides a method for microseismic monitoring and positioning in an ultra-deep well, comprising:
[0068] The combined travel time difference is calculated based on the perforation P-wave travel time, S-wave travel time, and P-wave and S-wave travel time difference of the known well. In one example, the combined travel time difference is calculated using formula (1):
[0069] T shoot,P,S,PS,m =T shoot,P,m +T shoot,S,m +T shoot,PS,m (1)
[0070] Among them, T shoot,P , T shoot,S , T shoot,PS are the perforation P-wave travel time, S-wave travel time, and P-wave and S-wave travel time difference of the known well, T shoot,P,S,PS The combined time difference is the travel time. m represents the perforation number, there are M perforations in total, n represents the detector number, there are N detectors in total, T shoot,P,m is the calculated travel time difference of the mth perforation P-wave, T shoot,S,m is the statistical travel time difference of the mth perforation shear wave, T shoot,PS,m is the statistical travel time difference of the longitudinal and transverse waves of the mth perforation.

[0072] According to the perforation spatial position of the known well and the combined travel time difference, the radial positioning objective function and the depth positioning objective function are respectively obtained; in an example, the radial positioning objective function is:
[0073] OPJ L (T shoot,P,S,PS,m )=L shoot,m =A L +B L *T shoot,P,S,PS,m +C L *T 2 shoot,P,S,PS,m (2)
[0074] Among them, OPJ L is the radial positioning objective function.
[0075] In one example, the depth localization objective function is:

Therefore, the combined travel time difference of the perforation longitudinal and transverse waves is T shoot,P,S,PS,m As an independent variable, the radial position of the known perforation L shoot,m , Perforation depth position Z shoot,m Quadratic polynomial fitting, radial positioning objective function is formula (2), fitting OPJ Z The objective function for depth positioning is formula (3).
[0079] The combined travel time difference of the microseismic event is calculated and substituted into the radial positioning objective function and the depth positioning objective function respectively to obtain the initial positioning result of the microseismic event.
[0080] Specifically, according to the least squares method, the combined travel time difference T of the M perforation P-wave and S-wave is shoot,P,S,PS,m , respectively forming the following quadratic polynomial coefficient matrices:
[0081]
[0082]
[0083] Similar to solving the matrix "XA = Y", solving the coefficient matrix "A = X -1 Y". Similarly, calculate the radial positioning objective function coefficient (A L , B L , C L ) and the depth positioning objective function (A Z , B Z , C Z ), the specific expression is omitted. Since the coefficient matrices of formulas (5) and (6) are real logarithmic matrices, for special quadratic polynomials, they can be regarded as solving a system of three-variable linear equations.
[0084] Then, input the picked microseismic event longitudinal and transverse wave travel time T event,P , T event,S , calculate the time difference T event,PS , similar to the perforation travel time combination, calculate the event travel time combination time difference T event,P,S,PS , and substitute them into the radial positioning objective function OPJ L , depth positioning objective function OPJ Z , get the initial location result of microseismic event RT event ={L event ,Z event}.

[0086] A microseismic grid is established with the initial positioning result as the center, and the combined travel time difference of each grid is forward modeled to determine the final positioning result of the microseismic.
[0087] In one example, forward modeling the combined travel time difference of each grid to determine the final positioning result of the microseism includes: forward modeling the combined travel time difference of each grid, comparing it with the combined travel time difference of the microseism, and calculating the target error; the grid position corresponding to the minimum target error is the final positioning result of the microseism.
[0088] In one example, the target error is calculated by formula (4):
[0089] Δ=|T P,S,PS,i,j -T event,P,S,PS | (4)

[0091] Specifically, a rectangular grid is designed with the initial location result of the microseismic event as the center. i ∈(L event -ΔL,L event +ΔL) to design the rectangular grid length, according to Z j ∈(Z event -ΔZ,Z event +ΔZ) to design the rectangular grid width. i , Z j are the radial position and depth position corresponding to the grid point (i, j), and ΔL and ΔZ are the rectangular grid sizes.
[0092] In order to quickly realize event relocation, the rectangular grid is designed to be relatively small. According to the ultra-deep positioning error analysis, it is generally required that ΔL is less than 5 meters and ΔZ is less than 30 meters. Assuming that a source is placed at each grid point (i, j), based on the known acoustic logging and the spatial position of the geophone, the ray tracing forward modeling is carried out using Snell's law to calculate the longitudinal wave travel time T from the source point to the geophone P,i,j , transverse wave travel time T S,i,j and time difference T PS,i,j , sum the three and calculate the combined time difference of longitudinal and transverse waves T P,S,PS,i,j .

Taking the quadratic polynomial as an example, the other multiple terms have the same principle. Therefore, the combined travel time difference of the perforation longitudinal and transverse waves is T shoot,P,S,PS,m As an independent variable, the radial position of the known perforation L shoot,m , Perforation depth position Z shoot,m Quadratic polynomial fitting, radial positioning objective function is formula (2), fitting OPJ Z The objective function for depth positioning is formula (3).
