Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drilling exploration technology, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for determining the relationship between a trajectory and a reservoir based on the identification of entry and exit layer characteristics. Background Technology
[0002] As oil and gas exploration continues to expand into unconventional areas, horizontal wells have become one of the important technical means for exploring unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. Faced with thinner reservoirs and stronger heterogeneity, the complex geological conditions, the significant impact of trajectory entry angle difference on the expression of logging-while-drilling curve characteristics, the differences in experience of field steering engineers, and the greater difficulty in identifying unconventional reservoir boundaries all pose huge challenges to unconventional oil and gas horizontal well drilling. In order to more efficiently determine the relationship between well trajectory and reservoir location, improve trajectory adjustment efficiency, and achieve the goal of high reservoir encounter rate, it has become a need to develop a trajectory-reservoir relationship discrimination method based on entry feature identification.
[0003] In summary, quickly identifying the spatial relationship between the trajectory and the reservoir, and mitigating the impact of differences in the experience of on-site steering engineers, are key issues for early trajectory control and improving reservoir encounter rates. Current research on steering trajectory control methods to address these issues is as follows:
[0004] Existing technologies disclose geological steering trajectory control methods for horizontal sections of continuously undulating reservoirs in shale gas horizontal wells. These methods involve setting markers at the undulation points at the top and bottom interfaces of the target layer, combining the entry and exit points to form an optimal trajectory control path, and obtaining the well inclination angles of the entry point and each segment to control the horizontal section of the continuously undulating reservoir. However, for thin reservoirs, the seismic resolution is limited, making it difficult to identify structural undulations, and abrupt formation changes occur frequently, making manual control extremely difficult. This method requires prior identification of structural undulation peaks and troughs, and both steering engineers and orientation engineers need to have good experience to achieve trajectory control, making it difficult to operate in practice.
[0005] Existing technologies disclose geological steering early warning methods, which obtain formation characteristic data, drill bit depth position, and steering early warning analysis data by acquiring a target formation depth model and logging-while-drilling curves. Based on the early warning analysis data and the characteristic data of the formation position in the formation depth model, it is determined whether geological steering early warning is needed. This method can perform geological steering trajectory control in areas with significant characteristic variations between homogeneous formations. However, in areas with thin layers, indistinct formation variation characteristics, and high drill bit encounter frequency, the response is slow due to the influence of measurement zero length, making identification difficult and timely trajectory adjustments challenging, significantly impacting reservoir encounter rates.
[0006] Existing technologies disclose integrated geological steering methods for horizontal wells. These methods involve establishing a detailed 3D geological model using geological, logging, well logging, and geophysical data before drilling, determining formation dip and reservoir properties to design a 3D well trajectory, and continuously refining the geological model during the directional drilling phase through logging while drilling to ensure accurate landing. During the horizontal drilling phase, logging while drilling, well logging, and seismic interpretation are combined to adjust the horizontal well trajectory. While this method describes the data and procedures used for steering trajectory control, it does not address methods for target point correction during the directional drilling phase, or for predicting and controlling the trajectory's position within the reservoir. In structurally variable sections or thin reservoirs, it cannot quickly provide trajectory pre-adjustment methods, making it difficult to achieve efficient reservoir drilling.
[0007] Existing technologies disclose a real-time gamma-ray forward modeling geological steering drilling method. This method combines a formation model with the actual drilled wellbore trajectory, forward models the gamma-ray curves and compares them with actual measurements. The formation model is decomposed based on the contact relationship between the gamma-ray logging detection range and the formation interface. Based on the attenuation law of gamma rays in the formation, the gamma-ray flux at the detector position for each region after model decomposition is analyzed and calculated separately, providing a basis for updating the formation model and adjusting the wellbore trajectory. This method uses gamma-ray curve comparison to determine the dip angle changes of segments in the geological model and gamma-ray energy attenuation to determine formation boundaries. However, because the gamma-ray measuring instrument is more than ten meters away from the drill bit, the determination of the drill bit's position in the reservoir is delayed. Furthermore, using only gamma-ray for reservoir boundary identification results in limited data, affecting identification efficiency and accuracy, and significantly impacting trajectory control and reservoir encounter rate.
[0008] Existing technologies disclose a rapid and precise geological steering method for shale gas horizontal wells. This method involves establishing two-dimensional and three-dimensional geological steering models of the well area, comparing the lithology, well inclination, and gamma-ray while drilling characteristics of the well to be steered with those of standard and reference wells, and employing three... Figure 1 The method determines the drill bit's location, evaluates whether it's within a high-quality shale gas formation while drilling, assesses the applicability of the initial geological model, uses the equal thickness comparison method to determine and adjust target point A, predicts target point B, and controls the wellbore trajectory in the horizontal section. While this method uses marker layer gamma curve comparison to assess the geological model and determines target locations and adjusts trajectories based on the equal thickness method, it can only determine target locations and guide the trajectory to hit the target. It cannot efficiently predict whether the trajectory will exit a formation, its position within the formation, or provide a method for pre-adjustment and optimization of the trajectory.

[0061] This invention provides a method and apparatus for determining the relationship between a trajectory and a reservoir based on entry and exit layer feature recognition.
[0062] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0063] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of a method for determining the relationship between a trajectory and a reservoir based on entry / exit layer feature recognition, according to an embodiment of the present invention. The execution subject of this method includes, but is not limited to, a computer. This invention can solve problems such as low identification efficiency after encountering a layer, slow trajectory adjustment cycle, and numerous invalid penetrations in horizontal sections during drilling in thin or heterogeneous reservoirs. It has broad application prospects for guiding horizontal wells to optimize and adjust their trajectories in advance, improving reservoir encounter effectiveness, and is of great significance for the efficient development of unconventional oil and gas resources. The method shown in the diagram includes:
[0064] Step S1: Obtain the basic data of the drilled wells in the target block, classify and statistically analyze the basic data according to the angle difference value, and obtain the first feature set when the drill bit encounters the top and bottom interfaces of the target layer.
[0065] Step S2: Use a pre-established geological model to simulate the entry and exit of the drill bit into and out of the formation, obtain the drilling parameters at the entry and exit times, and perform regression calibration on the measurement while drilling and logging data corresponding to the entry and exit times to obtain the second feature set corresponding to the entry and exit times of the drill bit.
[0066] Step S3: Use the first feature set and the second feature set to perform model correction processing on the pre-established geological model;
[0067] Step S4: Using the corrected geological model, simulate the time when the drill bit enters and exits the top and bottom of the target layer at different angle differences, obtain drilling parameters, logging while drilling and logging data corresponding to the time when entering and exiting the top and bottom of the target layer, and perform logging while drilling and logging data conversion and calibration processing on the drilling parameters corresponding to the time when entering and exiting the top and bottom of the target layer to obtain the third feature set.
[0068] Step S5: Obtain the measured data during the actual drilling process, and use the third feature set to compare the measured data to perform trajectory adjustment processing in order to complete trajectory optimization.
[0069] As one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2As shown, the basic data are classified and statistically analyzed according to the angle difference value. The first feature set when the drill bit encounters the top and bottom interfaces of the target layer includes:
[0070] Step S21: Divide the basic data into layers and determine the range of angle difference between the ingress and egress layers;
[0071] Step S22: Divide the angle difference range of the entry and exit layers into segments of a certain degree interval to obtain the first feature set when the drill bit encounters the top and bottom interfaces of the target layer in different angle difference segments; wherein, the first feature set consists of drilling parameters, logging-while-drilling parameters, logging parameters and well logging parameters under the preset angle difference.
[0072] Specifically, the well trajectory is statistically analyzed to determine whether it enters or exits the target formation, and is classified into four types: top entry, top exit, bottom exit, and bottom entry. The angle difference between the trajectory and the formation dip angle is statistically analyzed for the four types of cases, and the range of the angle difference between the entry and exit formation is determined without encountering faults. The drilling parameters, logging parameters, and logging-while-drilling / quantitative parameters measured under the angle difference range of the four types of cases are used to establish a feature set with an angle difference interval of 0.5 degrees.
[0073] Among these methods, seismic and well logging data are used to establish a pre-drilling geological model to determine the drilling trajectory and drill string assembly parameters.
[0074] Specifically, as one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method also includes:
[0075] Step S31: Obtain seismic and well completion logging data, and use the seismic and well completion logging data to establish a geological model;
[0076] Step S32: Determine the angle of entry into the formation when the trajectory lands, based on seismic and well logging data.
[0077] Step S33: Determine the spatial relationship between the drill bit and the measuring instrument based on the orientation and measuring tools.
[0078] Based on the collected seismic and well logging data, a regional geological model is established, which includes properties such as fault fractures, formation dip angles, fine stratification of the target layer, gamma ray, and resistivity. The angular difference range of the formation to be cut into by the designed well trajectory is preliminarily determined. The length from the downhole measuring tool to the drill bit zero and the angle of the directional tool are determined to determine the actual drilling position of the drill bit and the measurement position.
[0079] Specifically, drilling speed is the fastest and most intuitive parameter, identifying changes in drilling velocity as the drill bit enters / exits the formation. Measurement-while-drilling (MWD) parameters are distinguishable parameters with distinct characteristics, identifying changes in formation properties as the measurement tool enters / exits the formation. Zero length and angular difference can be used to determine the drill bit's position after entering / exiting the formation. Gas logging and cuttings logging calculate the drill bit's rock-breaking position based on the delay time, recording the characteristics of the drill bit-formation spatial position. Using drilling speed as a standard, other characteristic responses are regressed to the drill bit's rock-breaking time series, reflecting the characteristics of the drill bit entering / exiting the target formation, and establishing a feature set.
[0080] Among them, the drilling trajectory and drill string assembly parameters are used to extract the features of the drilling-through layer interface, and the resulting set of features of the drilling-through layer interface is the second feature set.
[0081] Specifically, as one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the model correction process for the pre-established geological model using the first feature set and the second feature set includes:
[0082] Step S41: Compare the first feature set with the second feature set to obtain the set comparison accuracy.
[0083] Step S42: If the set comparison accuracy rate is not greater than the preset threshold, then the pre-established geological model is corrected.
[0084] Among them, the drill bit working conditions are simulated numerically using the set of features of the drill-through layer interface to obtain simulated feature data.
[0085] Specifically, under the formation model, numerical simulation simulates the drilling speed of the drill bit entering / exiting the formation at different angle differences; based on the zero length of the drill bit and the measurement while drilling tool, the formation position of the measurement tool under different angle differences is determined, and formation property curves such as gamma and resistivity are simulated; after removing the influence of late arrival time, based on phase change and reservoir charging characteristics, the mean method is used to determine the gas logging and cuttings logging characteristic data, i.e., simulated characteristic data, and establish a third feature set.
[0086] Among them, actual drilling verification is carried out based on the third feature set to obtain the verification results, and the trajectory optimization is performed using the verification results.
[0087] Specifically, the third set of features, after the time and target layer location are aligned, serves as a criterion for determining the position of the drill bit in the target layer and its relationship with the top and bottom interfaces during drilling. This guides the advance adjustment of the trajectory and reduces invalid footage caused by the trajectory deviating from the layer.
[0088] In addition, the specific process of actual drilling verification includes: using drilling, geological logging and well logging data obtained under a certain angle difference during the actual drilling process, determining the current drill bit position, guiding the trajectory adjustment, and predicting the spatial position of the drill bit in the target layer after adjustment; predicting the feature data of the next drill bit drilling, supplementing the third feature set, and verifying it with the actual drilling simulation data to obtain the verification results; and achieving trajectory optimization control through two iterative steps.
[0089] To address the problems in existing technologies, this invention proposes a trajectory-reservoir relationship discrimination method based on entry feature identification. This method collects geological logging, well logging, and drilling characteristics of completed vertical and horizontal wells within the region that encounter the top and bottom interfaces of the target layer. Based on the differentiated angles at which the trajectory penetrates the top and bottom of the target layer, the characteristics of the encountered layer interfaces are classified and a data set is established. By establishing geological models of the target layer and its top and bottom formations, the drilling rate, gamma ray, resistivity, and gas logging characteristics of the top and bottom interfaces of the target layer are simulated under different angle differences between the formation and the well trajectory. A feature set database of drill bit-target layer interface intersections under different angle differences is established. By analyzing the combined features of measurements while drilling, the relationship between the drill bit and the reservoir boundary is determined, the trajectory adjustment direction is determined in advance, and the trajectory is effectively controlled within the reservoir, improving reservoir drilling efficiency.
[0090] This invention addresses the challenges of low efficiency in identifying reservoir layers after drilling in thin or heterogeneous reservoirs, slow trajectory adjustment cycles, and numerous ineffective shots in horizontal sections. It fully utilizes geological, logging, and drilling data recorded at the upper and lower interfaces of the encountered reservoir in already drilled wells to quickly determine the spatial relationship between the drill bit and the reservoir boundary. This invention has broad application prospects for guiding the early trajectory optimization and adjustment of horizontal wells, improving reservoir drilling effectiveness, and is of great significance for the efficient development of unconventional oil and gas resources.
[0091] This invention, based on the geological, logging, and drilling characteristics of the top and bottom interfaces of the target formation encountered in completed vertical and horizontal wells, classifies the cases of the trajectory penetrating the top and bottom of the target formation within a limited angle difference range and establishes corresponding feature sets. By simulating and establishing a feature set database under different angle differences, it solves the spatiotemporal delay effect between the recording of measurement-while-drilling data and the interface encountered by the drill bit, determines the relationship between the drill bit and the reservoir boundary, and determines the direction of trajectory adjustment in advance, thereby promoting the increase of the drilling rate of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs and achieving improved quality and efficiency in horizontal well drilling.
[0092] This invention pertains to drilling exploration and development technology, specifically relating to a method for determining the relationship between a drilling trajectory and a reservoir based on entry feature identification. The method involves establishing a set of combined features of the target layer and the top and bottom interfaces of the formation encountered by the well trajectory within a limited angular difference range, based on geological, logging, and drilling data from completed vertical and horizontal wells. By simulating and establishing a database of these feature sets under different angular differences, the method addresses the spatiotemporal delay effect between measurement-while-drilling data recording and the layer interfaces encountered by the drill bit. This multi-source data allows for efficient judgment of the formation interface conditions encountered by the drill bit, enabling early trajectory adjustment and prediction, and achieving a high drilling success rate for unconventional reservoirs.
[0093] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a trajectory and reservoir relationship discrimination method based on entry and exit layer feature recognition according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
[0094] like Figure 5 As shown, based on the collected well trajectories, drilling parameters, bottom hole assembly, geological stratification, lithological description, measurement while drilling, and logging data of drilled vertical and horizontal wells, in step N100, a set of features is established using the drilled data to determine the top and bottom interfaces of the target layer when the drill bit encounters them, within a limited angular difference range between the formation and the well trajectory.
[0095] The following will combine Figure 6 The steps of the feature set partitioning method when a drill bit encounters the top and bottom interface of a target layer according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention are described.
[0096] like Figure 6 As shown, in steps N110-N130, the drilling trajectory is statistically analyzed to determine whether it enters or exits the target layer, and is classified into four types: top entry, top exit, bottom exit, and bottom entry. The angle difference between the trajectory and the dip angle of the formation is statistically analyzed for the four types of cases, and the range of the angle difference between the entry and exit layers is determined without encountering faults. The drilling parameters, logging parameters, and logging-while-drilling / quantitative parameters measured under the angle difference range of the four types of cases are used to establish a feature set with an angle difference interval of 0.5 degrees.
[0097] like Figure 5 As shown, in step N200, a pre-drilling geological model of the pre-drilled well is established, and the drilling trajectory and drill string assembly parameters are determined in combination with the drilling design and actual drilling conditions. The usage of each parameter is also explained.
[0098] The following will combine Figure 7 This describes the steps of the pre-drilling geological model and trajectory, drilling tool assembly determination, and usage method according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention.
[0099] like Figure 7As shown, in steps N210-N230, a geological model of the region is established based on the collected seismic and well logging data. The model includes attributes such as fault fractures, formation dip angles, fine stratification of the target layer, gamma ray, and resistivity. In the directional landing section, the angular difference range of the formation to be cut into the landing area of the designed well trajectory is initially determined. In the horizontal section, based on the length from the downhole measuring tool to the drill bit zero and the angle of the directional tool, the geometric relationship between the actual drilling position and the measurement position of the drill bit under the angular difference is calculated, and the corresponding measurement formation attributes when the drill bit encounters the boundary of the target layer are determined under the geological model.
[0100] like Figure 5 As shown, in step N300, the calibration method for the set of features of the drilled layer interface is determined.
[0101] The following will combine Figure 8 The steps for establishing the calibration parameters of the interface feature set of the drill-through layer according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention are described below.
[0102] like Figure 8 As shown, in steps N310-N350, the characteristic parameters of the target layer interface are extracted. Taking the interface encountered by the drill bit as the standard, various data such as logging-while-drilling (LMD), gas logging, etc., are normalized and integrated, and time and spatial sequence calibration is performed to establish a set of characteristics of the drilled formation interface. Drilling rate is the fastest and most intuitive parameter for identifying layer penetration, and it identifies the changes in drilling speed when the drill bit enters / exits the layer. LMD parameters are distinguishable parameters for identifying layer penetration characteristics, and they identify changes in formation attribute characteristics when the measurement tool enters / exits the layer. The position of the drill bit after entering / exiting the layer can be determined through zero length and angle difference. Gas logging and cuttings logging calculate the drill bit's rock-breaking position based on the late arrival time, and then deduce the characteristics of the drill bit-formation spatial position. Using drilling rate as the standard quantity, other characteristic responses are regressed to the drill bit's rock-breaking time series to reflect the characteristics when the drill bit enters / exits the target layer, thus establishing a feature set.
[0103] like Figure 5 As shown, in step N400, the simulation method and process for drilling and measurement-while-drilling parameters under different angle differences are determined.
[0104] The following will combine Figure 9 This describes the steps for simulating drilling and measurement-while-drilling parameters under different angle differences according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
[0105] like Figure 9 As shown, in steps N410-N450, numerical simulation combined with artificial intelligence methods is used to simulate the drilling speed of the drill bit entering / exiting the formation at different angle differences under the geological model; based on the zero length of the drill bit and the measurement while drilling tool, the formation position of the measurement tool under different angle differences is determined, and formation property curves such as gamma and resistivity are simulated; after removing the influence of late arrival time, based on phase change and reservoir charging characteristics, the mean method is used to determine the gas logging and cuttings logging characteristic data;
[0106] like Figure 5 As shown, in step N500, a method for judging the accuracy of simulated feature data combination is established and iteratively verified through actual drilling.
[0107] The following will combine Figure 10 This describes the steps of the method for judging the accuracy of simulated feature data combination and the iterative verification of actual drilling according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
[0108] like Figure 10 As shown, in steps N510-N5100, the drilling, logging, and surveying characteristics of the target layer are identified through existing well drilling in the region. A feature combination identification standard under finite angle difference is established, and parameters such as the block geological module and drilling tools are determined. Actual drilling simulation is performed, and feature identification combinations under different angle differences are expanded. The simulation is expressed using the standard feature combination, and the simulation effect is verified through actual drilling. If the verification effect is poor, the simulation method is corrected, and the simulation is repeated. If the simulation effect is good, the simulation results can be expanded to the feature combination set under differentiated angle differences. Simultaneously, iterative comprehensive analysis of simulation and actual drilling effects can be performed to determine the spatial relationship between the trajectory and the target layer, guiding trajectory optimization in advance to achieve the goals of high reservoir encounter rate and smooth trajectory.
[0109] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: (1) It comprehensively judges the risk of drill bit encountering formation by using various data such as drilling, logging, and logging while drilling; (2) It uses drilling parameters to judge the drill bit encountering formation, eliminating the problem of delayed formation judgment caused by zero length in conventional logging while drilling; (3) It simulates and establishes a dataset of the top and bottom of the target formation cut by the drill bit under different angle differences, eliminating the characteristic expression of the difference in logging while drilling curves caused by angle differences; (4) Based on zero length and angle difference, it can determine the position of the logging while drilling instrument in the formation, and can further predict the risk of drill bit encountering formation by comparing the simulated formation attribute curve with the logging while drilling formation attribute curve, thereby improving the ability to predict and adjust the well trajectory. In summary, this invention can solve the problems of low identification efficiency after encountering formation, slow trajectory adjustment cycle, and many invalid footage in the horizontal section during drilling of thin reservoirs and heterogeneous reservoirs. It has broad application prospects for guiding horizontal wells to optimize and adjust the trajectory in advance and improve the reservoir drilling effect, and is of great significance for realizing the efficient development of unconventional oil and gas resources.
