Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article relates to the field of oil and gas field development, in particular to a rock resistivity spectrum testing method and joint testing device based on capillary pressure. Background Art

[0002] In the process of oil and gas reservoir exploration and development, geophysical logging is an important means of reservoir evaluation, and electrical logging technology is the main basis for quantitative evaluation of reservoir saturation.

[0003] In the existing technology, conventional resistivity logging is usually used to measure the resistivity of the formation, and the Archie formula is combined to evaluate the reservoir saturation information. Among them, conventional resistivity logging can be regarded as a single frequency point measurement, which cannot accurately evaluate mixed reservoirs such as low porosity, low permeability, low resistivity reservoirs and water-flooded layers. Permeability is another important physical property parameter of rocks. For conventional reservoirs, there is usually a positive correlation between porosity and permeability, that is, the greater the porosity, the greater the permeability of the rock. However, for mixed reservoirs under exploration and development, the corresponding porosity and permeability are less correlated, so other measurement methods are needed to evaluate the pore structure of the formation.

[0004] In order to solve the problem that ordinary resistivity in current technology cannot accurately evaluate mixed reservoirs, a rock resistivity spectrum testing method and joint testing device based on capillary pressure are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0008] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this document, the iterative adjustment of the number of characteristic points of the initial capillary pressure curve based on the error and the maximum number of iterations to determine the capillary pressure type prediction model includes: determining whether the current number of iterations exceeds the maximum number of iterations; if not, further determining whether the error is greater than a preset error value; if the error is less than or equal to the preset error value, determining the minimum number of characteristic points of the initial capillary pressure curve, and determining the capillary pressure type prediction model corresponding to the minimum number of characteristic points; if the error is greater than the preset error value, adjusting the number of initial characteristic points, and re-executing the steps of iterating the initial capillary pressure curve and judging the error and the preset error value until the current number of iterations exceeds the maximum number of iterations; if so, adjusting the number of initial characteristic points, and re-executing the steps of iterating the initial capillary pressure curve and judging the error and the preset error value.

[0009] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this document, the step of adjusting the number of initial feature points and re-executing the step of determining the error and the preset error value includes: sequentially increasing the number of initial feature points and calculating the error between the initial capillary pressure curve and the historical capillary pressure curve data; or sequentially decreasing the number of initial feature points and calculating the error between the initial capillary pressure curve and the historical capillary pressure curve data.

[0010] According to one aspect of the embodiments herein, a pressure differential measurement sequence is determined based on the characteristic points and the pressure differential values. When each pressure differential measurement point in the pressure differential measurement sequence satisfies a pressure differential balance condition, the resistivity spectrum under the pressure differential balance condition is measured. The pressure differential balance condition includes a pressure differential balance time and a balanced liquid output.

[0011] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this document, the method further includes: preprocessing the historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data, including: filtering and noise reduction, curve smoothing, and standardization.

[0082] Figure 1 The flowchart of a method for rock resistivity spectrum testing based on capillary pressure in an embodiment of this invention is shown, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0083] Step 101: Obtain water-saturated resistivity spectrum data for the core. In some embodiments of this specification, the water-saturated resistivity spectrum data refers to resistivity spectrum data at a water saturation of 100%. The resistivity spectrum data for the core is measured when the external pressure applied to the core is zero and no liquid is displaced from the pores within the core. The water-saturated resistivity spectrum data accurately represents the direction of the capillary pressure curve. Furthermore, the water-saturated resistivity spectrum data for cores or rock samples with different pore structures will vary. In this specification, the water-saturated resistivity spectrum data can be represented as a continuous curve, where the resistivity value changes with frequency. This resistivity change reflects the pore structure of the formation at a microscopic level. Specifically, as the frequency increases, the resistivity of the water-saturated resistivity spectrum gradually decreases. The changes in the water-saturated resistivity spectrum are highly correlated with the pore structure of the core and can reflect the specific morphology of the pore structure at a microscopic level. Therefore, the water-saturated resistivity spectrum data can reflect the pore structure of the core / rock sample to a certain extent.

[0084] Step 102: Input the water-saturated resistivity spectrum data into a pre-built capillary pressure type prediction model to determine the capillary pressure curve type corresponding to the water-saturated resistivity spectrum data. The capillary pressure curve type is represented by the number of characteristic points of the capillary pressure curve and the pressure difference values ​​corresponding to the characteristic points. For example, Figure 7A As shown in the figure, the number of characteristic points of a capillary pressure curve is 7, and the water saturations corresponding to these 7 characteristic points are: 0.45, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 0.92, 0.99, and 1 respectively; the pressure difference values ​​corresponding to these 7 characteristic points are 120Pc, 90Pc, 20Pc, 10Pc, 9Pc, 7Pc, and 0Pc respectively. This capillary pressure curve represents a rock sample with a certain pore structure. For example, Figure 7B As shown in the figure, the number of characteristic points of a capillary pressure curve is 5, and the water saturations corresponding to these 5 characteristic points are 0.85, 0.91, 0.94, 0.99, and 1 respectively; the pressure difference values ​​corresponding to these 5 characteristic points are 250Pc, 90Pc, 60Pc, 35Pc, and 0Pc respectively. This capillary pressure curve represents a rock sample with another pore structure.

[0085] In this step, the pre-built capillary pressure type prediction model is trained by the historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data and the historical capillary pressure curve data corresponding to the historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data. For details on the training process of the capillary pressure type prediction model, see Figure 2 Detailed description.

[0086] In this specification, the water-saturated resistivity spectrum data obtained in step 101 is used as the input of the capillary pressure type prediction model, and the capillary pressure type prediction model outputs the capillary pressure curve type corresponding to the core corresponding to the water-saturated resistivity spectrum data. The capillary pressure curve type is characterized by the number of characteristic points of the capillary pressure curve and the pressure difference value of these characteristic points. For example, the pore structure of a certain rock sample is relatively loose, and the capillary pressure type predicted by the water-saturated resistivity spectrum data of the rock sample can be represented by only 5 characteristic points; while the pore structure of a certain rock sample is relatively tight, and the capillary pressure type predicted by the water-saturated resistivity spectrum data of the rock sample needs to be represented by 7 characteristic points. Furthermore, each characteristic point in the predicted capillary pressure curve has a corresponding pressure difference value and water inclusion degree.

[0087] Step 103: Determine a pressure differential measurement sequence based on the characteristic points, including a minimum pressure differential value, a maximum pressure differential value, and a pressure differential threshold value. In this step, the pressure differential measurement sequence includes multiple pressure differential measurement points, each of which is a characteristic point determined in step 102 and corresponds to pressure differential value information. The pressure differential measurement sequence includes at least a maximum pressure differential value, a minimum pressure differential value, and a pressure differential threshold value. Furthermore, the pressure differential measurement sequence may also include other pressure differential measurement values.

[0088] Step 104: Measure the resistivity spectrum data of each point in the pressure difference measurement sequence. Figure 5 The rock resistivity spectrum and capillary pressure joint measuring device is used to measure resistivity spectrum data.

[0089] Figure 2 The flowchart of a method for determining a capillary pressure type prediction model according to an embodiment of this invention is shown. This specification obtains a model that can predict the type of capillary pressure curve through training, using a minimum number of feature points to represent the capillary pressure curve, thereby reducing the resistivity spectrum measurement time. Specifically, the steps include:

[0090] Step 201: Obtain historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data of different cores and historical capillary pressure curve data corresponding to the historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum sample data. In this step, the historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data of different cores and the historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data can be data obtained through historical collection or measurement.

[0091] Step 202 : Select a random number of feature points from the historical capillary pressure curve data as initial feature points. The initial feature points do not include the first and last endpoints of the historical capillary pressure curve, and include their corresponding water saturation and pressure difference values.

[0092] In some embodiments of this specification, a random number of feature points are selected from historical capillary pressure curve data as initial feature points, which also serve as labels for training samples of the capillary pressure type prediction model. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or even more feature points can be randomly selected from the historical capillary pressure curve data as initial feature points. The randomly selected initial feature points are not the starting points of the historical capillary pressure curve. In this step, the random number of feature points (i.e., initial feature points) constitute a minority of feature points.

[0093] In step 203, the initial feature points and the historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data are determined as a training sample set. The historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data is the feature data in the training sample set, and the initial feature points are the labels in the training sample data set. The training sample set can correspond to a rock sample with a certain porosity structure. For example, the five initial feature points in the historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data and historical capillary pressure data corresponding to rock sample A1 with tight pores serve as the training sample set corresponding to rock sample A1; the seven initial feature points in the historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data and historical capillary pressure data of rock sample A2 with medium tightness serve as the training sample set for rock sample A2; and the nine initial feature points in the historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data and historical capillary pressure data corresponding to rock sample A3 with loose pores serve as the training sample set for rock sample A3. In this specification, for rock samples with different pore structures, the initial feature points of the rock samples are used as the training sample set to train the model.

[0094] Step 204: Construct an initial capillary pressure curve based on the training sample set. The initial capillary pressure curve is fitted using the historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data and a random number of training sample sets. In this step, a binomial fit is used to construct the capillary pressure curve.

[0095] Step 205 calculates the error between the initial capillary pressure curve and the historical capillary pressure curve data. In this step, a quadratic polynomial fit is used to calculate the error between the fitted initial capillary pressure curve and the original historical capillary pressure curve. The error can be a mean relative error, which is the cumulative mean relative error (RMRE), calculated by summing the mean relative errors between each initial feature point in the constructed initial capillary pressure curve and the corresponding points in the historical capillary pressure curve.

[0096] Step 206: Iteratively adjust the number of initial feature points of the initial capillary pressure curve based on the error and the maximum number of iterations. When the error meets a preset error value, determine the capillary pressure type prediction model. In this step, the maximum number of iterations is a pre-set upper limit for the number of iterations of the initial capillary pressure curve, for example, 3, 5, 6, 10, etc. When the cumulative average relative error between each initial feature point in the fitted initial capillary pressure curve and the historical capillary pressure curve meets the error standard, that is, the cumulative average relative error of each initial feature point is less than or equal to the error standard, it can be determined that the currently fitted initial capillary pressure curve is relatively close to the historical capillary pressure curve.

[0097] Figure 3 The flowchart of a method for determining a capillary pressure type prediction model according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0098] Step 301: Determine whether the current number of iterations exceeds the maximum number of iterations. As described in step 206, the maximum number of iterations is a preset upper limit of the number of iterations of the initial capillary pressure curve, which is used to control the degree of model training.

[0099] Step 302: If not, further determine whether the error is greater than a preset error value.

[0100] In step 303, if the error is less than or equal to a preset error value, the minimum number of characteristic points of the initial capillary pressure curve is determined, and the capillary pressure type prediction model corresponding to the minimum number of characteristic points is determined. In this step, for rock samples of the same pore type, different numbers of initial characteristic points can be used to construct the initial capillary pressure curve. For example, for rock samples of the same pore type, the initial capillary pressure curve constructed using 3 initial characteristic points, 5 initial characteristic points, or 7 initial characteristic points will differ. When calculating the error relative to the historical capillary pressure curve using different numbers of initial characteristic points, the accumulated error value will also be different. For example, for rock samples of the same pore type, the error calculated using 3 initial characteristic points is 3%; the error calculated using 5 initial characteristic points relative to the historical capillary pressure curve is 4%; and the error calculated using 7 initial characteristic points relative to the historical capillary pressure curve is 5%. In this step, when the errors between different numbers of initial feature points and historical capillary pressure curves for a rock sample of the same pore type all meet a condition of being less than or equal to a preset error value, the minimum number of initial feature points is selected, and the capillary pressure curve corresponding to the minimum number of initial feature points is determined as the capillary pressure type prediction model. For example, if the preset error value is 5%, and for a rock sample of the same pore type, the cumulative relative evaluation errors between initial capillary pressure curves constructed using 3, 5, or 7 initial feature points and the historical capillary pressure curve are all less than or equal to 5%, the initial capillary pressure curve corresponding to the 3 initial feature points is selected as the capillary pressure type prediction model.

[0101] In step 304, if the error is greater than the preset error value, the number of initial feature points is adjusted, and the steps of iterating the initial capillary pressure curve and determining the error against the preset error value are repeated until the current number of iterations exceeds the maximum number of iterations. If the error is greater than the preset error value, it is considered that the number of initial feature points taken for the rock sample of this pore type does not conform to the curve characteristics, and the number of initial feature points needs to be adjusted to reconstruct the initial capillary pressure curve. Specifically, the initial capillary pressure curve can be constructed by sequentially increasing or decreasing the number of initial feature points until the error condition between the newly constructed initial capillary pressure curve and the original historical capillary pressure curve is met. The number of feature points of the constructed capillary pressure curve is then considered to be the number of points taken.

[0102] In step 305, if yes, the number of initial feature points is adjusted, and the steps of iterating the initial capillary pressure curve and determining the error against the preset error value are re-executed. If the current number of iterations exceeds the maximum number of iterations, it indicates that the current process of iterating the initial capillary pressure curve no longer meets the training standard or training requirements, and it is necessary to re-iterate the capillary pressure curve by adjusting the number of initial feature points.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present specification, adjusting the number of the initial feature points and re-executing the step of determining the error and the preset error value includes: sequentially increasing the number of the initial feature points and calculating the error between the initial capillary pressure curve and the historical capillary pressure curve data; or sequentially decreasing the number of the initial feature points and calculating the error between the initial capillary pressure curve and the historical capillary pressure curve data.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present specification, the historical water-saturated resistivity spectrum data is also pre-processed, including filtering and noise reduction, curve smoothing, and standardization.

[0105] Figure 4 The flowchart of a method for measuring resistivity spectrum data in a differential pressure measurement sequence according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0106] Step 401: Determine a differential pressure measurement sequence based on the characteristic points and the differential pressure values. The differential pressure measurement sequence may be determined based on the water saturation and differential pressure values ​​corresponding to the characteristic points. The differential pressure measurement sequence may include two or more characteristic points.

[0107] Step 402 : When each pressure differential measurement point in the pressure differential measurement sequence meets the pressure differential balance condition, the resistivity spectrum under the pressure differential balance condition is measured. The pressure differential balance condition includes the pressure differential balance time and the balanced liquid output.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present specification, when measuring the resistivity spectrum, it is necessary to ensure that the equilibrium condition is reached at each pressure difference measurement point. The equilibrium condition requires that the difference between the liquid output at the equilibrium detection time and the monitoring time is less than the equilibrium liquid output. Specifically, the pressure difference balance monitoring time, the equilibrium liquid output and the different pressure difference measurement points are set in advance by computer software. When the equilibrium monitoring time and the difference between the liquid output at the monitoring time are less than the equilibrium liquid output under each pressure difference condition, it is considered that the stable point of the pressure difference has been reached. At this time, the total liquid output and the pressure difference value are recorded, and the complex resistivity spectrum of the rock sample under the current conditions is measured, and the measurement is completed. Then measure the next set pressure difference measurement point and repeat the above operation until the experimental measurement of all set pressure difference measurement points is completed. Save the experimental data and generate an experimental measurement report on the correspondence between capillary pressure and complex resistivity spectrum.

[0109] Figure 5 The figure shows a structural schematic diagram of a rock resistivity spectrum and capillary pressure joint measurement device according to an embodiment of this invention, wherein the device includes a core holder, an electrical spectrum measurement system, and a hydraulic system.

[0110] Specifically, the device includes a displacement pump 501, a confining pressure pump 502, a metering pump 503, a displacement pump liquid suction bottle 504, a confining pressure pump liquid suction bottle 505, a metering pump liquid suction bottle 506, a core chamber upper end pressure sensor 507, a core chamber lower end pressure sensor 508, a differential pressure sensor 509, a pipeline control switch 510, a temperature sensor 511, a core chamber lower end pressure relief valve 512, a displacement pump oil storage tank 513, a displacement pump water storage tank 514, a data acquisition board 515, a computer display 516, a computer 517, an impedance analyzer 518, a constant temperature box 519, a pressure pump manual controller 520, a core chamber upper end pressure relief valve 521, a core chamber upper end temperature sensor 522, and a core holder 523. The impedance analyzer 518 is used to measure the complex resistivity spectrum of rock samples. The measurement frequency range is 40 Hz to 110 MHz, and it supports swept frequency measurement. The pressure pump manual controller 520 is used to control the metering pump, confining pressure pump and displacement pump to generate pressure, and the pressure value range is 0-10000psi.

[0111] The core holder 523 comprises upper and lower clamping pistons, a core holding chamber, upper and lower liquid outlet pipes, upper and lower pressure relief valves, and a semi-permeable diaphragm. The upper and lower pistons are connected to two power supply electrodes, and the side ends of the core holding chamber are connected to two measuring electrodes. The core holder 523 is used to clamp the core. In some embodiments of this specification, a confining pressure is applied within the core holder, creating a pressure differential between the upper and lower ends to displace water from the semi-permeable diaphragm. The displaced water volume is calculated, and the resistivity spectrum under this pressure differential is measured using a quadrupole method.

[0112] In some embodiments of this specification, the rock resistivity spectrum and capillary pressure combined measurement device also includes a constant temperature control system, which includes a constant temperature box 519, a temperature sensor, a temperature acquisition board, a temperature measurement circuit, and an electric heater. Temperature data measured by the constant temperature system is connected to a computer 517 via wires.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present specification, the electrical spectrum measurement system includes an impedance analyzer 518, power supply electrodes, and measurement electrodes for measuring resistance spectrum data. The electrodes are connected to the core holder via wires, and the impedance analyzer 518 is connected to the computer 517 via wires.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present specification, the hydraulic system includes an upstream pressure sensor, a downstream pressure sensor, a differential pressure sensor, a metering pump, a displacement pump, a confining pressure pump, and a pump controller. The hydraulic system is used to apply different pressure differentials to the core. The metering pump, displacement pump, and confining pressure pump can all be manually operated by the pump controller, which is connected to the computer 517 via wires. Among them, the upstream pressure sensor, downstream pressure sensor, differential pressure sensor, and temperature measurement circuit are connected to the multi-channel acquisition control board via wires. The multi-channel acquisition control board is installed in a cabinet and connected to the computer 517 via wires. Each system can be controlled by the computer 517. The measured data includes complex resistivity spectrum data from the impedance analyzer, solution volume recording data of the metering pump, displacement pump, and confining pressure pump in the capillary pressure measurement part, pressure data at the upper and lower ends of the core, and temperature data recorded by the temperature control system. These data are further processed by the computer 517.

[0115] Figure 6 Figure 6 shows a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a core holder according to an embodiment of this invention. 601 is the clamping knob at the upper end of the core chamber, 602 is the upper power supply electrode, 603 is the displacement port, 604 is the upper exhaust port, 605 is the core sample, 606 is the confining pressure relief valve, 607 is the semi-permeable partition, 608 is the lower exhaust port, 609 is the metering port, 610 is the lower power supply electrode, 611 is the clamping knob at the lower end of the core chamber, 612 is the rubber sleeve, 613 is the first measurement electrode, 614 is the second measurement electrode, 615 is the confining pressure input port, and 616 is the metal housing of the holder.

[0116] In some embodiments of this specification, before conducting resistivity spectrum data measurement experiments, the metering pump, displacement pump, and confining pressure pump must be cleaned, especially the metering pump, to drain the liquid from it. The pipelines must also be cleaned and any air trapped in them removed. The pump cylinders must be rinsed twice with distilled water and twice more with the saline solution used in the experiment, and then the saline solution used in the experiment must be pumped into the pump cylinders. Furthermore, the displacement pump and the fluid reservoir must be completely purged of air.

[0117] In some embodiments of this specification, during the step of loading the semipermeable separator and core sample, the semipermeable separator must be pressurized and saturated together with the core sample to be tested before use. During the loading process, the semipermeable separator is first loaded into the core holder, ensuring good contact between the semipermeable separator and the electrodes at both ends of the holder. The core is then placed to ensure close contact between the sample end surface and the semipermeable separator and electrodes, and the electrodes at both ends of the holder are tightened.

[0118] In some embodiments of this specification, the gas in the pipeline has been discharged in the aforementioned steps, but there is still a small amount of gas at both ends of the clamp, which needs to be discharged before the experiment. Specifically, it is necessary to apply confining pressure first. There may be a gap between the core sample and the inner wall of the clamp. If the exhaust operation of the ports at both ends of the clamp is directly performed without adding confining pressure, the liquid at both ends may flow along the inner wall of the clamp. After the confining pressure causes the rubber sleeve to deform, the exhaust operation is performed. When exhausting, open the exhaust port valve and set a certain pressure. Bubbles will emerge from the exhaust port, and then liquid will be discharged. Close the exhaust port valve when the liquid is discharged stably without bubbles.
