Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of applied geophysical well logging, and particularly relates to a hydrate saturation calculation method in a well based on a multi-scale rock physics model. BACKGROUND

[0002] Natural gas hydrate in nature widely exists in permafrost zones and marine sediments in the outer periphery of land. Because natural gas hydrate has the characteristics of wide distribution, huge resource quantity and high density, it has been widely concerned by many countries since the end of the 1960s and has been praised as a new type of potential energy with clean, efficient and abundant reserves. In the current hydrate reservoir logging interpretation and evaluation, the elastic wave rock physics model has an important position. However, the current existing elastic wave rock physics model cannot accurately describe the attenuation mechanism of the actual hydrate reservoir, which affects the calculation of hydrate saturation and brings great challenges to the quantitative geophysical analysis of hydrate-bearing sediments.

[0003] Wave-induced fluid flow (hereinafter referred to as: WIFF) is the main reason for the dispersion and attenuation of elastic waves in hydrate-bearing sediments, and mesoscopic and microscopic heterogeneity is the main mechanism causing WIFF. In hydrate-bearing sediments, mesoscopic and microscopic heterogeneity exists at the same time and can cause a significant change in the velocity of longitudinal waves, which means that it is necessary to consider the influence of the two mechanisms on dispersion and attenuation at the same time. Although the existing models (for example: BISQ model) have achieved certain application effect in simulating the velocity and attenuation characteristics of hydrate-bearing sediments, these models cannot simultaneously describe the attenuation mechanisms of the three scales of micro, meso and macro, which leads to the inability to accurately depict the longitudinal wave velocity and attenuation characteristics of hydrate-bearing sediments and seriously affects the calculation of hydrate saturation in the well.

It should be noted that some parameters are obtained by experiments on regional strata and substituted into the multi-scale rock physics model, and some are different, such as the saturation of hydrate.

[0132] In the above method, the multi-scale petrophysical model of the hydrate-bearing sediment constructed considers multiple scale attenuation mechanisms, is more in line with the actual situation of the hydrate-bearing sediment compared with the existing theoretical model, can more accurately describe the P-wave velocity and attenuation coefficient of the hydrate-bearing sediment in different occurrence forms, and the calculated velocity and attenuation are more accurate, which has important significance and value for the acoustic detection and identification of the hydrate-bearing sediment, and provides a theoretical basis for the saturation quantitative interpretation of the hydrate-bearing sediment. The multi-scale petrophysical model is applied to hydrate detection, and then a new method for hydrate detection by using acoustic parameters (i.e. P-wave velocity and attenuation coefficient) is provided, which can provide a measurement method for the improvement and perfection of acoustic logging.

[0133] In order to illustrate the effect of the multi-scale petrophysical model constructed by the above method of the present application. Figure 2a 、 Figure 2b 、 Figure 3a 、 Figure 3b The frequency dispersion curves of the P-wave velocity and attenuation coefficient in the hydrate-bearing sediment and the variation trend of the P-wave velocity and attenuation coefficient with the hydrate saturation in the four different hydrate occurrence forms are given, and are compared with the experimental data.

[0134] Figure 2a 、 Figure 2b The P-wave velocity and P-wave attenuation coefficient as functions of frequency for different inclusion aspect ratios are shown respectively. The multi-scale petrophysical model constructed by the above method of the present application predicts three relaxation peaks, i.e. local flow (mesoscale), global flow (macro scale) and jet flow (micro scale). By analyzing Figure 2a 、 Figure 2b The following conclusions can be drawn: with the increase of the aspect ratio of the water (methane gas) inclusion, the third peak moves to a higher frequency, the aspect ratio controls the jet flow relaxation time, and then affects the position of the attenuation peak.

[0135] Figure 3a 、 Figure 3b The variation of the P-wave velocity and attenuation coefficient with the hydrate saturation in the four different hydrate occurrence forms is shown respectively. It can be seen from Figure 3a 、 Figure 3b that the "excess water" method mainly generates pore-filling hydrate, and the "excess gas" method mainly generates cemented hydrate, and the simulation result is more consistent with the particle coating hydrate. When the hydrate saturation is below 0%-40%, the multi-scale petrophysical model constructed by the above method of the present application can capture and measure the variation trend of the P-wave velocity and attenuation coefficient with the hydrate saturation.

[0136] The above examples are used to explain the present application, but not to limit the present application, any modification and change made to the present application within the spirit and protection scope of the claims, fall into the protection scope of the present application.
