Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of reservoir logging evaluation in oil and gas exploration and development, and in particular to a method for jointly inverting reservoir parameters using resistivity and nuclear logging under mud invasion. Background Art

[0002] At present, the reserves of low-permeability oil and gas fields in China are large, but such oil and gas reservoirs often have poor reservoir properties due to heavy local mud, heavy gray or complex pore structure, so the natural production capacity is low. During artificial mining, after the drilling is invaded by mud, the logging curve response is affected by many factors, resulting in a small difference in resistivity between oil and gas and water layers, which brings great difficulties to reservoir evaluation.

[0003] At present, conventional fluid identification and reservoir parameter measurement are mainly used to simulate different logging projects for different targets. For example, an existing joint inversion method for resistivity logging while drilling based on parallel computing technology includes the following steps: A. Loading resistivity logging while drilling data; B. Smooth filtering and automatic stratification of logging curves; C. Selecting the invasion depth of the formation model, the resistivity of the invasion zone, and the initial value of the formation resistivity according to the degree of curve separation; D. Using the finite element method, based on multi-core parallel or GPU parallel computing technology, calculate the resistivity logging response of the corresponding depth point of the measured curve; E. Calculating the relative error between the forward simulation response value and the measured data. If the relative error is less than the set threshold, the model value is output as the inversion result. If not, the model change is calculated according to the Marquette iterative algorithm, the formation model parameters are reset, and the step D is returned until the inversion result is output.

[0004] However, the fluid properties and pore structure parameters obtained by simulating different logging projects for different targets using conventional fluid identification and reservoir parameter measurement have low accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a method for joint inversion of reservoir parameters by resistivity and nuclear logging under mud invasion to solve the problems of the above technical solutions. This solution can carry out joint simulation of resistivity and nuclear logging based on rock physical parameters combined with wellbore information and phase permeability characteristic curves, and obtain reliable reservoir parameters through joint inversion of multi-dimensional logging response information such as multi-time and multi-physical fields, thereby improving the accuracy of reservoir fluid property identification and parameter evaluation, and providing technical support for oil and gas exploration and development.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for joint inversion of reservoir parameters by resistivity and nuclear logging under mud invasion, comprising the following steps:

The obtained dynamic fluid distribution profile of the reservoir is converted by a relevant formula to obtain the corresponding radial distribution profiles of resistivity, migration length, and density at different times;

[0011] Step 5: Invert reservoir parameters; compare the measured logging curve of the underground reservoir in step 1 with the numerical simulation curve obtained in step 4, and make the numerical simulation curve consistent with the measured logging curve through model updating and iteration, and finally obtain the reservoir parameters of the inverted rock physical structure.

[0012] In the above technical scheme, the wellbore numerical model is first constructed, and then the wellbore numerical model is assigned and numerically simulated according to the formation reservoir characteristics, and then the measured logging curve is compared with the numerical simulation curve, and the assignment of the numerical model parameters is continuously adjusted until the numerical simulation curve is basically consistent with the measured logging curve, thereby obtaining the real reservoir parameters under formation conditions. The processing method of this scheme can carry out resistivity and nuclear logging joint dynamic simulation and inversion to obtain accurate fluid properties and pore structure parameters of the reservoir.

[0013] Preferably, in step 1, the logging curve is a record of the change of the physical properties of the formation with the depth of the well, and the top and bottom interfaces of each sublayer are divided by the natural gamma half-amplitude point, the reference resistivity, neutron and density curves. Squaring means averaging the numerical segments of the logging curve in a graphical display mode to form a sawtooth shape, and the average value of the logging curve of each sublayer is used to represent the sublayer.

[0014] Preferably, in step 2, the input model parameters include rock physics model parameters, seepage information and wellbore information parameters. The rock physics model parameters and seepage parameters are processed by layer, and the wellbore information parameters are processed according to the whole well section.

[0029] Preferably, in step three, the phase permeability curve and the capillary pressure curve are obtained through core experiments. According to the relevant permeability theory and ion diffusion theory including the phase permeability curve and the capillary pressure curve, the dynamic distribution profile of the reservoir fluid including the formation saturation and salinity at any time is simulated, and the corresponding radial distribution profiles of resistivity, migration length, and density at different times are obtained through conversion of resistivity and nuclear logging related formulas.

[0037] Preferably, in step 4, the resistivity logging response is obtained according to the radial distribution profile of resistivity converted in step 3, and the corresponding resistivity logging response is obtained mainly by using the electromagnetic field finite element simulation method combined with the instrument structure parameters and the numerical simulation of the working principle.

[0056] Preferably, in step 4, according to the radial distribution profile of formation density and the radial distribution profile of migration length converted in step 3, the neutron and density logging responses are obtained by numerical simulation in combination with instrument structural parameters and nuclear logging fast simulation method.

[0057] The basic principle is that the rate of change of neutrons and gamma photons over time in a certain volume is equal to the generation rate minus the leakage rate and absorption rate. The following formula can be used to describe this process. The flux at the detector can be expressed as the sum of the contributions of each particle emitted from the source to the detector.

[0058] For density logging, the gamma source emits gamma photons, which undergo Compton scattering and photoelectric scattering with atomic nuclei and produce scattered gamma rays. The detector mainly detects the count rate of scattered gamma rays. For neutron porosity logging, the pulsed neutron source emits fast neutrons, which undergo inelastic scattering and elastic scattering reactions with atomic nuclei. The neutron energy is reduced and becomes thermal neutrons. The detector mainly detects the flux of thermal neutrons. According to the above theory, the background area flux can be expressed as:

[0062] Where ∑ S represents the macroscopic scattering cross section of the particle, 1 / cm; Ω′ represents the angle after the particle collision, °; ​​E′ represents the energy after the particle collision, MeV. Ψ + is the importance equation. The background flux sensitivity equation is defined as:

[0064] The contribution of the changing area to the detector flux can be expressed as:

[0065]

[0066] Where Δ∑ is the particle cross section in the changing area, 1 / cm; ∑ B is the particle cross section in the background area, 1 / cm. The detector flux is the superposition of the background flux and the flux in the changing area, expressed as:

[0067]

[0068] For density logging, the variables are set to the density values ​​as shown below, C p is the density coefficient, dimensionless; ρ is the density, g / cm 3 ρ B Indicates background density, g / cm 3 .

[0070] For neutron logging, the variable is set to the migration length derivative as shown below, C N is the neutron coefficient; Lm is the migration length, dimensionless; LmB is the background migration length, dimensionless.

[0071]

[0072] Preferably, in step 5, the actual logging curve of the underground reservoir is compared with the numerical simulation curve, and through nonlinear iterative inversion and model updating, the forward simulation process of step 3 and step 4 is continuously called to make the numerical simulation curve consistent with the measured logging curve, and finally the reservoir parameters including porosity, permeability and saturation under formation conditions are obtained. The nonlinear iterative inversion is a set of model parameters that is obtained by finding the minimum value of the target equation, and the target equation is:

[0073]

[0074] The objective equation is constrained by the following formula

[0143] Specifically, in step 4, according to the radial distribution profile of formation density and the radial distribution profile of migration length converted in step 3, the neutron and density logging responses are obtained by numerical simulation in combination with instrument structural parameters and nuclear logging fast simulation method.

[0144] The basic principle is that the rate of change of neutrons and gamma photons over time in a certain volume is equal to the generation rate minus the leakage rate and absorption rate. The following formula can be used to describe this process. The flux at the detector can be expressed as the sum of the contributions of each particle emitted from the source to the detector.

[0145] For density logging, the gamma source emits gamma photons, which undergo Compton scattering and photoelectric scattering with atomic nuclei and produce scattered gamma rays. The detector mainly detects the count rate of scattered gamma rays. For neutron porosity logging, the pulsed neutron source emits fast neutrons, which undergo inelastic scattering and elastic scattering reactions with atomic nuclei. The neutron energy is reduced and becomes thermal neutrons. The detector mainly detects the flux of thermal neutrons. According to the above theory, the background area flux can be expressed as:
