Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of geophysical exploration, and more particularly relates to a while-drilling local tomographic velocity modeling method, an electronic device, a medium and an apparatus. BACKGROUND
[0002] Conventional seismic modeling imaging technology has limited precision, and cannot distinguish small structures and thin layers in the underground, so that the real geological conditions of the underground cannot be fully understood, thus there is still great uncertainty in the drilling process, thereby causing many safety hazards, and not only cannot guarantee hitting the target reservoir, but also causes personnel and economic losses, and increases development costs. While-drilling seismic is a technology that uses a drilling bit to detect various geophysical data during drilling, simultaneously completes data acquisition, to accurately and timely obtain the latest geological information in front of the drilling bit, and comprehensively utilizes logging and geophysical processing technology to quickly update information of the formation and structure in front of the drilling bit, and simultaneously quickly adjusts the drilling scheme, which can help save drilling costs and improve drilling safety.
[0003] Real-time logging data acquisition and targeted rapid processing technology during drilling are keys of while-drilling seismic technology. For complex geological conditions, conventional seismic technology cannot timely and accurately predict the geological conditions of the drilling area, and drilling operations often face the problems of high risk and high cost. While-drilling seismic technology timely and accurately predicts the depth, velocity, pressure and other properties of the formation in front of the drilling bit, to provide services for drilling engineering such as adjustment of the drilling trajectory, selection of the casing position and size, and selection of the drilling fluid density, effectively reduces drilling risks, and improves drilling efficiency; meanwhile, the while-drilling seismic technology also provides more accurate imaging results and fine interpretation data for oil and gas reservoir prediction, and has very important significance for oil and gas reservoir exploration and development.
[0004] At present, there is a lack of effective targeted rapid modeling imaging technology for while-drilling seismic. Conventional depth domain modeling imaging technology has low efficiency, and the calculation time period of high-precision modeling imaging is difficult to meet the real-time requirement of while-drilling, which usually requires data update period to be less than two days, and the conventional modeling imaging technology cannot achieve a high-precision imaging standard in a short time for pre-drilling guidance, which is a main bottleneck restricting the development of while-drilling technology.
[0005] Therefore, it is expected to develop a while-drilling local tomographic velocity modeling method, an electronic device, a medium and an apparatus, to update the seismic velocity in front of the drilling bit based on new information provided by while-drilling logging, to improve imaging precision, and provide new and more accurate seismic results for drilling.

[0047] Preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below. Although the following describes preferred embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present application will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.
[0048] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.
[0049] The present application discloses a method for locally tomographic velocity modeling while drilling, which comprises the following steps:
[0050] 1) Calculate the well-seismic velocity error using the seismic velocity model to form a well velocity constrained regularization term;
[0051] 2) Perform well-seismic error statistics according to the imaging profile and well depth to form a well layering constraint term;
[0052] 3) Perform residual velocity spectrum scanning of the imaging gather around the well to obtain a conventional tomographic inversion term;
[0053] 4) Combine the well velocity constrained regularization term and the well layering constraint term to form a preconditioning operator, and combine the conventional tomographic inversion term to establish an objective function;
[0054] 5) Solve the objective function to obtain the preconditioned solution, i.e. the updated velocity around the well, to complete the velocity modeling around the well.
[0055] Specifically, in the seismic tomographic inversion, the underground structure information is used to constrain the spatial distribution characteristics of the model parameters, the correlation characteristics of the model parameters in space are extracted through the structure information, and the information is added to the tomographic inversion combined with the preconditioning idea, so that the estimated model parameters can be significantly improved. For the while-drilling seismic, in addition to using the gather flattening criterion for constraint, more importantly, the well position information is used for constraint, that is, the well position depth information provided by the well is used to guide the velocity tomographic inversion around the well, so that the inversion accuracy and resolution around the well are improved, and the subsequent local imaging effect is improved.
[0056] The present application is aimed at the rapid velocity modeling problem of while-drilling seismic, and based on the real-time position information provided by the while-drilling logging, the while-drilling local rapid tomographic velocity modeling technology based on well position information constraint is developed by using the well velocity and well position depth information provided by the well, which is used to guide the velocity tomographic inversion around the well, improve the inversion accuracy and resolution around the well, and improve the subsequent local imaging effect.
[0057] As an optional solution, the well velocity constraint regularization term is expressed as:
[0058]
[0059] Wherein, v grid represents the seismic velocity, v well represents the logging velocity, z represents the depth, represents the optimal solution operator in the least square sense.
[0060] Specifically, this term uses the drilled formation velocity information of the while-drilling logging to construct a new tomographic inversion objective function, which can alleviate the multi-solution problem of tomographic inversion, and can adjust the accuracy of the velocity field around the well in real time. The logging velocity resolution obtained from the acoustic curve is high in vertical direction, and the difference with the seismic velocity is very large, so it cannot be directly used for modeling. Therefore, the formal differences such as resolution and sampling rate are corrected first. The well velocity is processed through removing outliers, median filtering, slowness smoothing, resampling and the like, so as to ensure that the velocity trend before and after correction is basically consistent. The resolution of the corrected velocity is low, the sampling rate is reduced, there is no high-frequency oscillation of the original logging velocity outliers and burrs, and it is more in line with the characteristics of the seismic velocity, and at the same time, it does not lose too much thin layer information, and the detail characteristics are well maintained. In addition, instead of directly using the velocity for hard constraint to prevent logging information error, the partial derivative of the velocity to the depth is used as a constraint term, so that the inversion is solved in the correct updating direction.
[0061] As an optional solution, the well layering constraint term is expressed as:
[0062]
[0063] Wherein, z migz represents the depth of the seismic profile layer well z represents the thickness of the logging sublayer.
[0064] Specifically, the constraint term can further adjust the accuracy of the well velocity, reduce the well seismic error, make the tomographic inversion always satisfy the well seismic closure in the iterative updating process, realize higher precision velocity inversion and migration imaging, and accurately guide the drilling direction.
[0065] As an optional solution, the conventional tomographic inversion term is represented as:
[0066]
[0067] z represents the true depth of the underground formation true z represents the true depth of the underground formation pick z represents the imaging depth corresponding to the current velocity.
[0068] As an optional solution, step 4) comprises:
[0069] 4.1) After the conventional model preconditioned tomographic equation is discretized on a rectangular grid, a general tomographic inversion equation is obtained;
[0070] 4.2) Based on the damping factor, a damped least squares equation of the general tomographic inversion equation, i.e. the inversion equation, is obtained.
[0071] 4.3) The preconditioning operator is brought into the inversion equation to establish an objective function.
[0072] As an optional solution, the objective function is represented as:
[0073]
[0074] G(m) represents the preconditioning operator, and ε1 and ε2 are weighting coefficients, and ε1 and ε2 are small positive real numbers, used to weight the weight between the data fitting term and the regularization term.
[0075] Specifically, the seismic data is often limited and insufficient to constrain all model components, and the data often contains noise. According to singular value analysis, small noise in the data will be infinitely amplified under underdetermined conditions, so that the estimated solution is completely deviated from the true solution, which destroys the stability of the inversion. Therefore, well velocity and well sublayer information are introduced for regularization constraint, because well information is measured and reliable, so that the solution can develop in the correct direction after introducing the information.
[0076] As an optional solution, the objective function is represented as:
[0077] S T L T LSu+εu=SLΔτ
[0078] where L is a linearization operator, S is a preconditioning operator, u is a preconditioned solution, epsilon is a damping factor, and Delta tau is a residual time difference.
[0079] Specifically, the general model preconditioning tomography equation is obtained after the rectangular grid discretization of the general model equation, as follows:
[0080] LSu = Delta tau
[0081] Considering the damping factor epsilon, the damping least square equation of the tomography equation can be expressed as:
[0082] S T L T LSu + epsilon u = SL Delta tau
[0083] When the preconditioning operator S is a smoothing operator containing well information, the equation is a well information constrained regularization tomography equation, and the corresponding solution is a smoothed solution after regularization.
[0084] The application further discloses an electronic device, which comprises a memory and a processor.
[0085] The memory stores executable instructions.
[0086] The processor runs the executable instructions in the memory to implement the drilling-while-drilling local tomography velocity modeling method.
[0087] The application further discloses a computer readable storage medium, which stores a computer program, and the computer program is executed by a processor to implement the drilling-while-drilling local tomography velocity modeling method.
[0088] The application further discloses a drilling-while-drilling local tomography velocity modeling device based on well position constraint, which comprises a well peripheral velocity updating amount calculation module and is used for implementing the drilling-while-drilling local tomography velocity modeling method.
