Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of oil exploration technology, and in particular to a method and device for dividing reservoirs by utilizing the amplitude difference of natural potential curves. Background Art

[0002] In logging interpretation, reservoir division is based on logging data, combined with its geological data, to divide the reservoir that may contain oil and gas in a well, and determine the depth and thickness of its top and bottom interfaces, so as to further evaluate the reservoir. When using logging information to divide reservoirs, firstly, the ability of logging data to identify reservoirs is considered; secondly, the degree of response of logging data to different types of reservoirs is considered. The conventional logging series can be used to divide permeable reservoirs.

[0003] When the formation is thick, the amplitude difference of the logging curve is often used to determine the upper and lower interfaces of the permeable layer. For example, when the natural potential curve is used to divide the reservoir, the amplitude of the natural potential curve of the thick formation is approximately equal to the SPC, and the depth of the curve change amplitude difference of half a point corresponds to the formation interface, so the curve change amplitude method can be used to determine the formation interface. When the permeable layer is thick and the upper and lower surrounding rocks are the same, its position from the mudstone baseline to the midpoint between the amplitude difference is exactly at the formation interface. As the formation thickness decreases, the amplitude of the natural potential curve decreases, the top of the curve becomes sharper, and the bottom becomes wider. The amplitude of the natural potential curve is smaller than the SPC, and the interface position is away from the value of half a point of the amplitude difference, resulting in the inability to achieve the division of the reservoir top and bottom interface and thickness, and the reservoir division efficiency is too low. Summary of the invention

[0047] The terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", etc. used in this application are usually used to facilitate intuitive understanding by comparing with the accompanying drawings, and are not absolute limitations on the positional relationship in the actual product. Without departing from the technical concept disclosed in this application, changes in these relative positional relationships should also be regarded as the scope of this application.

[0048] See also Figure 1 The present application provides a method for dividing reservoirs using the amplitude difference of natural potential curves, comprising:

[0049] S1: Determine the mudstone baseline of the natural potential curve on the well and read the specific value of the mudstone baseline;

[0050] Specifically, when using the SP curve amplitude difference method to identify reservoirs, the mudstone baseline of the well's SP curve must first be confirmed. In the SP logging curve, the amplitude of a large section of mudstone's SP curve is relatively stable, so it can be used as the baseline of the curve, called the mudstone baseline, and the value of the mudstone baseline is read.

[0051] S2: Obtain the intersection of the natural potential curve and the mudstone baseline within the same range;

[0052] S3: Extract the top and bottom depth values ​​of the intersection and the value on the natural potential curve;

[0053] S4: Using the top and bottom depth values ​​of the intersection, the natural potential curve is divided into multiple depth intervals;

[0054] S5: within the depth interval, obtain the amplitude difference between the natural potential curve and the mudstone baseline;

[0055] Specifically, within the depth interval segment divided by the mudstone baseline and the spontaneous potential (SP) curve, an amplitude difference will be formed between the spontaneous potential (SP) curve and the mudstone baseline. The amplitude difference will first increase and then decrease in each depth interval segment. Due to the influence of the internal heterogeneity of the reservoir segment, the spontaneous potential (SP) curve changes nonlinearly. When the amplitude difference between the spontaneous potential (SP) curve and the mudstone baseline continues to increase, the spontaneous potential (SP) curve value of the first crest point where the amplitude change continuously increases and the spontaneous potential (SP) curve value of the last crest point where the amplitude difference continues to decrease are read to obtain the amplitude difference.

[0056] S6: Extract the top and bottom interfaces and thickness of the reservoir according to the depth position of the point where the amplitude difference is half.

[0057] The present application provides a method for dividing reservoirs using the amplitude difference of a spontaneous potential curve, further comprising:

[0058] S7: Display the extracted reservoir top and bottom interfaces and the thickness between the reservoir top and bottom interfaces, and manually adjust the reservoir top and bottom interfaces;

[0059] S8: The top and bottom interface depths are automatically obtained according to the adjusted reservoir top and bottom interfaces to realize interactive editing.

[0063] Step 2: Please refer to Figure 3 , obtain the intersection points P1, P2, P3, and P4 of the spontaneous potential (SP) curve of well W1 and the mudstone baseline MN within the same value range;

[0064] Step 3: Extract the values ​​SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP4 of the intersection points of P1, P2, P3 and P4 on the depth surface Z1Z1', Z2Z2', Z3Z3', Z4Z4' of the W1 well and the spontaneous potential (SP) curve;

[0065] Step 4: Please refer to Figure 4 , the natural unit (SP) curve is divided into two depth intervals through the depth planes Z1Z1', Z2Z2', Z3Z3' and Z4Z4' of the intersection of the spontaneous potential (SP) curve and the mudstone baseline MN, namely the depth interval from Z1Z1' to Z2Z2' and the depth interval from Z3Z3' to Z4Z4';

[0066] Step 5: Please refer to Figure 5 , in the depth interval from Z1Z1' to Z2Z2' and from Z3Z3' to Z4Z4', read the spontaneous potential (SP) curve values ​​SPS1, SPS2, SPS3, SPS4, SPS5 and SPS6 of the peak points S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6 on the spontaneous potential (SP) curve during the change of the curve amplitude between the spontaneous potential (SP) curve and the mudstone baseline;

[0067] Step 6: In the depth intervals from Z1Z1' to Z2Z2' and from Z3Z3' to Z4Z4', the reservoir top and bottom interfaces are extracted by dividing the reservoir top and bottom interfaces at the depth position where the amplitude difference of the spontaneous potential (SP) curve is half.

[0068] See also Figure 6 Specifically, the top and bottom interfaces of the reservoir in the depth interval Z1Z1' to Z2Z2' are DD' and TT', and the top and bottom interfaces of the reservoir in the depth interval Z3Z3' to Z4Z4' are D1D1' to T1T1'. The depth position of DD' on Well W1 is found The depth value corresponding to the spontaneous potential (SP) curve value, the depth position of TT' on the W1 well is found The depth value corresponding to the spontaneous potential (SP) curve value, D1D1', the depth position on the W1 well is found The depth value corresponding to the spontaneous potential (SP) curve value, the depth position of T1T1' on the W1 well is found Depth value corresponding to the spontaneous potential (SP) curve value;

[0069] Step 7: See Figure 7 , after extracting the depths of the interfaces DD', TT', D1D1' and T1T1' on the W1 well, the positions of the divided reservoir sections are displayed in the reservoir track;

[0070] Step 8: See Figure 8 , you can drag the mouse to adjust the DD' and TT' depth positions, and the depth positions from D1D1' to T1T1' to achieve manual adjustment of the reservoir top and bottom interfaces. After adjustment, the top and bottom interface depths are automatically obtained to achieve interactive editing.

[0071] The present application provides a method for dividing reservoirs using the amplitude difference of the natural potential curve. The method of calculating half the amplitude difference of the natural potential (SP) curve on the well can calculate the top and bottom interfaces and thickness of the reservoir when the formation thickness is relatively small, and can clearly display the depth range of the reservoir section on the well. The automatic identification and manual interactive editing of the reservoir effectively improve the work efficiency of dividing the reservoir by half.
