Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of shale storage, and in particular to a shale reservoir three-dimensional modeling method based on big data. Background Art

[0002] At present, due to the strong heterogeneity of Longmaxi shale and the thin target reservoir, the drill bit is prone to deviate from the target layer during the drilling process, and geological guidance is particularly important. At present, there is only a geological guidance software with two-dimensional display function in China, which is not intuitive enough to observe and cannot provide a better basis for the adjustment of the drill bit. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a three-dimensional display software platform that can accurately display the underground stratum structure in real time.

[0003] Two-dimensional geosteering generally uses adjacent data as a reference for steering modeling, mainly considering the vertical distribution of formation attributes, and the steering process is relatively simple. The data used is mainly limited to geological and well logging data, which can meet the requirements of horizontal well geosteering to a certain extent; seismic data contains more potential formation and oil and gas information, which can reflect the formation morphology, rock properties and oil and gas reservoir location, etc., and is almost not or rarely used in the current two-dimensional geosteering process. At present, domestic gas fields generally use MD (with GR or GR+RT) or LWD (with GR, RT) combined with comprehensive logging for horizontal well geosteering.

[0004] Two-dimensional geosteering cannot accurately reflect the three-dimensional spatial distribution of the wellbore trajectory, as well as the changes in the stratigraphic structure and reservoir anisotropy around the wellbore trajectory. It cannot accurately describe faults and fractures, and cannot utilize the reservoir inversion results of seismic data. This brings certain uncertainties to geosteering work.

With reference to these contents, ordinary technicians in the field should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a shale reservoir three-dimensional modeling method based on big data is provided.

[0055] The present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1 As shown, according to the big data-based shale reservoir three-dimensional modeling method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the shale reservoir three-dimensional modeling method includes the following steps:

[0056] S1. Construct a pre-drilling 3D geological model of the target area by using the Kriging interpolation method, and measure the downhole data of the drill bit during drilling;

[0057] In one embodiment, the construction of the Kriging interpolation method includes the following steps:

[0058] Construct variogram;

[0059] Use the known points that are effectively searched in the neighborhood as input points, and calculate the variance function values ​​between any two input points and between the point to be interpolated and all input points;

[0060] Assign values ​​to the K matrix and find its inverse to obtain the inverse matrix of the K matrix;

[0061] The weight coefficient is obtained by multiplying the inverse matrix of the K matrix by the M matrix, and the attribute value of the point to be interpolated is obtained by weighting.

[0062] In one embodiment, the K matrix is ​​constructed as follows:

[0063]

[0064] In the formula, γ(v n ,v n ) is the variogram value between the nth known point and the nth known point, and the values ​​in the first n rows and n columns of the K matrix are the variogram values ​​between any two known points.

[0065] In one embodiment, the M matrix is ​​constructed as follows:

[0066]

[0067] In the formula, γ(v n ,vn ) is the variogram value between the nth known point and the nth known point, and the first n rows of the M matrix are the variogram values ​​between the point currently to be estimated and each known point.

[0068] In one embodiment, the method of constructing a pre-drilling three-dimensional geological model of the target area by the Kriging interpolation method and measuring downhole data of the drill bit during drilling comprises the following steps:

[0069] S11, establishing a blank model;

[0070] S12, according to the size of the drilled block, set the length of the three directions of the 3D model and the step length of each grid, and read the adjacent well data and seismic data;

[0071] S13, establishing a three-dimensional geological model before drilling through the attribute values ​​of the points to be interpolated by the Kriging interpolation method, and using the downhole data measured in real time by the drill bit during the drilling process.

[0072] Specifically, since we want to obtain an unbiased estimate, we must meet the unbiased condition, that is, the weight value of the weight coefficient is 1; at the same time, the regionalized variable needs to meet the second-order equilibrium assumption. Combining the above conditions, we can get the weight coefficient;

[0073] In addition, in recent years, scientific computing visualization technology has developed rapidly and has been widely used in various engineering and computing fields, especially in geological three-dimensional modeling. In order to truly reflect the geological model, we need to visualize large data sets. However, under the existing technical conditions and the limitations of many factors in actual situations, the data points that can be collected are extremely small compared to the point set required for data visualization, so relying solely on limited discrete data points is far from meeting the visualization requirements. In order to solve this problem, interpolation technology has emerged;

[0074] The so-called interpolation technology is to use some corresponding analysis and research models to study the attribute information of these sample points based on the known limited discrete data point information, establish a mapping relationship between its spatial domain and attribute domain, quantify this mapping relationship, and finally estimate the value at the unknown point based on this established mapping relationship. Due to the wide application of interpolation technology, many interpolation methods have also emerged. The existing commonly used interpolation methods are: inverse distance method, radial basis function method, Thiessen polygon method, spline interpolation, Kriging method, etc.

[0075] The basic idea of ​​the inverse distance method is to first calculate the distance between the known point and the unknown point, and then use the inverse of the distance to perform a weighted average on the attribute values ​​of the known points to obtain the unknown attribute value. This method is simple to understand and easy to implement, but it only uses the distance factor as the basis for interpolation, and does not take into account the relationship between the known points themselves, so the estimation accuracy is limited.

[0076] The Thiessen polygon method uses a known point as the center and divides the interpolation area into thousands of polygons. The known points in the sub-area are used as the input of the points to be interpolated in the polygon area for interpolation calculation. This method is intuitive, simple, and easy to understand, but when the sampling points are distributed very unevenly, the polygons formed are prone to singular polygons, resulting in low interpolation accuracy. In addition, the Thiessen polygon method is only applicable to two-dimensional planes, and its application has great limitations.

[0077] As a spatial prediction method widely used in many fields, Kriging was first proposed by South African mining engineer Krige. The object of the Kriging method is the variogram, which can give an estimate of the regionalized variable in a limited area, and this estimate is optimal and unbiased. The basic idea of ​​Kriging interpolation is to first determine the influence of the known point on the valuation point, which is represented by the weight coefficient, and then use the weight coefficient to perform weighted summation of the attribute values ​​of the known points to obtain the attribute value of the interpolated point. Therefore, Kriging interpolation is a linear interpolation method. In addition, the reason why it is said to be the optimal and unbiased estimation method is that its mathematical model is established on the basis of analyzing the regionalized variable and the variogram. From the introduction of the above methods, it can be seen that the Kriging method not only considers the distance factor, but also takes the spatial correlation between the known points as an important theoretical premise for estimation, and quantifies this spatial correlation through the study of the variogram. Therefore, the error of the result obtained by the Kriging interpolation method is very small and more accurate. The complexity of Kriging interpolation is also correspondingly improved, which greatly improves the interpolation efficiency and can be better applied to practical engineering.

[0078] Kriging has great advantages over other methods. While ensuring the interpolation accuracy, the complexity of Kriging interpolation is also increased accordingly.

[0100] Specifically, the training process of the convolutional neural network is essentially the optimization and update process of the network weights. Adjusting the GoogleNet parameters according to the well logging image dataset and selecting appropriate hyperparameters are helpful for the retrieval of well logging images.

[0101] S4. The staff observes the relationship between the drill bit and the formation through the display terminal and makes adaptive adjustments to ensure that the drill bit remains in the target layer.

[0102] Specifically, intuitively displaying the mutual relationship of wellbore trajectories in three-dimensional space helps reduce the risk of wellbore collision, ensures the stable progress of construction, and provides stable operation guarantees for construction.
