Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of geophysical exploration, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, and equipment for calculating combined P-wave and S-wave formation pressure. Background Technology

[0002] The detection and prediction of formation pressure has long been a challenge in the field of geophysics. Accurately calculating formation pressure is a means of ensuring safe drilling operations and has been an important goal pursued by geophysicists at home and abroad for many years.

[0003] Currently, there are two main categories of methods for pressure calculation using geophysical data:

[0004] The first category of methods uses well logging data for calculation, mainly including: sonic transit time method, array method, equivalent depth method, Eaton method, etc. These well logging methods have solved the problem of formation pressure calculation to a certain extent, but existing technologies still have some limitations, such as: not applicable to non-mudstone formations, not applicable to abnormal pressure mechanisms other than unbalanced compaction, etc.

[0005] The second type of method uses seismic data for calculation. This mainly involves obtaining formation velocity and then using empirical formulas to calculate formation pressure. However, this method also has certain errors. First, many factors influence formation velocity, and the velocity itself has errors and relatively low resolution. Directly calculating formation pore pressure from the velocity without describing or making appropriate assumptions about other influencing factors can easily lead to significant errors. Second, the velocity itself has errors and relatively low resolution. These errors include both random and systematic errors, which will affect the accuracy of pressure prediction results and depth.

[0051] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] Reference Figure 1 The flowchart illustrates a method for calculating combined P-wave and S-wave formation pressure according to an embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:

[0054] S101: Acquire P-wave and S-wave seismic data from the well, and preprocess the P-wave and S-wave seismic data from the well.

[0055] When acquiring P-wave and S-wave seismic data in wells, surface P-wave and S-wave sources are set up near the wellhead to generate seismic data, which are then received by a three-component geophone in the well. The first result is three-component seismic data, which needs to be processed in a series of steps to obtain waveform data about the measured strata, i.e., preprocessed well seismic data.

[0056] If there is no transverse wave source during the acquisition process, a longitudinal wave source can be used to excite the waveform and convert it into a transverse wave as a substitute, but this will have some impact.

[0057] S102, based on the preprocessed well seismic data, the measured strata are divided into layers, and the P-wave velocity and S-wave velocity of each measured stratum are calculated;

[0058] The geological strata were divided into layers, and each layer was numbered to facilitate subsequent calculations. During the layering process, the strata were divided according to their depth. For example, if the depth of the strata was 1000m, it was divided into layers with a depth of 20m, and if the depth of the strata was 5000m, it was divided into layers with a depth of 50m. The layering was carried out with the goal of reducing the difficulty of calculation while obtaining accurate data.

[0059] S103, acquire well logging density data, process the well logging density data, and obtain density data for each measured formation;

[0060] Well logging density data can be obtained through conventional techniques, such as sonic transit time method, array method, equivalent depth method and Eaton method; after obtaining the well logging density data, the density data of each measured formation is calculated according to the stratification results in step S102.

[0061] S104, Based on the P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity and density data of each measured stratum, determine the geostress of the stratum to be measured in each measured stratum;

[0062] When determining the geostress of each measured stratum, the P-wave and S-wave velocities obtained from well seismic data and the density data obtained from well logging density data were combined. By combining the two types of data and establishing geostress calculation formulas related to P-wave and S-wave velocities and well logging density data, the measured geostress is more accurate, providing a more precise data basis for calculating the pressure of the formation to be measured.

[0063] S105, Based on the average density of the overlying strata of the measured stratum, determine the pressure of the overlying strata at the stratum to be measured;

[0064] The average density of the overlying rock strata is the difference between the weight and volume of the overlying rock strata, obtained through geophysical exploration methods.

[0065] S106, Based on the overlying strata pressure and the geostress at the stratum to be measured, determine the formation pressure of the stratum to be measured.

[0066] The calculation method provided in this embodiment acquires wellbore seismic data and well logging density data of P-waves and S-waves, and combines the two to establish a formation pressure calculation formula related to the P-wave layer velocity, S-wave layer velocity and density data of wellbore seismic data. This achieves the effect of accurately calculating formation pressure and provides an effective means to solve the problem of accurate formation pressure calculation.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] Reference Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a method for calculating combined P-wave and S-wave formation pressure according to an embodiment of the present invention. This calculation method specifically includes the following steps:

[0069] Acquire P-wave and S-wave seismic data from wells, and preprocess the P-wave and S-wave seismic data from wells.

[0070] The acquisition of P-wave and S-wave seismic data from wells includes:

[0071] An excitation point is set at the wellhead of the observation well. The excitation point is the location of the seismic source that meets the zero-source-distance VSP acquisition conditions. In this embodiment, the observation well is a vertical well. When the observation well is a directional well, depth correction is required. The selection of the excitation point needs to take into account both the well site operating conditions and drilling safety, and meet the zero-source-distance excitation distance specified in industry standard SY / T 7450-2019.

[0072] Surface P-wave and surface S-wave sources are set up and excited at the excitation point to generate P-waves and S-waves; three-component geophones are used to receive the well seismic data of P-waves and S-waves in the observation well; the well seismic data of P-waves and S-waves are all three-component seismic data with the same recording length and time and depth sampling interval.

[0073] The data obtained is as follows Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The basic data of the calculation method proposed in this embodiment are shown; where the solid line represents the P-wave velocity, the long dashed line represents the S-wave velocity, the corresponding horizontal axis represents the formation depth in meters, and the vertical axis represents the formation velocity in meters per second. Figure 1 The dotted line in the middle represents the formation density, with the horizontal axis representing the formation depth in meters and the vertical axis representing the formation density in kg / m³.

[0074] Preprocessing of P-wave and S-wave well seismic data includes at least one of the following: three-component rotation processing, random noise suppression processing, amplitude compensation processing, and deconvolution processing.

[0075] Among them, the three-component rotation processing refers to the redistribution of the energy of the three-component geophones in the well according to the principle of maximum energy, so as to obtain the rotated P-wave and S-wave well seismic data, which can be completed using existing commercial software.

[0076] Random noise suppression, amplitude compensation, and deconvolution are performed as needed. The best results can be achieved by using preprocessed P-wave and S-wave well seismic data with clear P-wave and S-wave first arrivals and crisp jumps, which can meet the requirements for accurate first arrival picking.

[0077] Based on the preprocessed well seismic data, the measured strata were divided into layers, and the P-wave velocity and S-wave velocity of each measured stratum were calculated.

[0078] The calculated P-wave velocity and S-wave velocity for each measured stratum include:

[0079] Based on the preprocessed well-drilled seismic data, the first arrivals of the S-wave and P-wave are picked up at the same phase on both the P-wave and S-wave, respectively. The first arrival pick-up location is the location of the wave crest maximum; these are denoted as V0 and V1, respectively. p and V sDuring pickup, since this invention uses P-wave and S-wave sources for excitation, in accordance with the national standard GB / T 33685, the pickup positions for both P-waves and S-waves are the locations of the wave crest maxima.

[0080] Based on the first arrival of the shear wave and the first arrival of the p-wave, the p-wave velocity and shear wave velocity of each measured stratum are obtained.

[0081] Acquire well logging density data, process the well logging density data to obtain density data for each measured formation; the well logging density data processing includes at least one of the following: abnormal noise removal, data depth range adjustment, and data resampling; all of which can be implemented using existing commercial software.

[0082] Abnormal noise removal involves suppressing randomly generated noise in well logging density data through data statistics.

[0083] Data depth range adjustment involves truncating or interpolating data to align the depth range of well logging density data with that of P-wave and S-wave well seismic data.

[0084] Data resampling adjusts the sampling depth of well logging density data to match the measurement depth of P-wave and S-wave well seismic data.

[0085] Based on the P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, and density data of each measured stratum, the in-situ stress of the stratum to be measured in each measured stratum is determined, including the following steps:

[0086] A. Using the depth sampling sequence number collected by VSP, the measured strata are divided into layers. The depth sampling sequence numbers are recorded from top to bottom as 0, 1, 2, 3...i, where i is the depth sampling sequence number of the stratum to be measured.

[0087] B. Using a pressure gauge, the ground stress at layer 0 is obtained and used as a reference point, denoted as σ0;

[0088] C, based on σ0, calculate the geostress of layer σ1 using the following formula;

[0089] Formula for the geostress ratio function:

[0090]

[0091] In the formula, x is the depth sampling number of the target stratum, x = 0, 1, 2, 3…i; σ x The geostress of the stratum with depth sampling number x is σ. x-1 The geostress of the layer above the stratum with depth sampling number x is Δ. x This is a function representing the ratio of geostress between the stratum with depth sampling number x and the stratum with depth sampling number x-1.

[0093] In the formula, ρ x-1 ρ represents the formation density of the stratum with depth sampling number x-1. x The formation density of the stratum with depth sampling number x-1; The P-wave velocity of the formation with depth sampling number x-1; The shear wave velocity of the formation with depth sampling number x-1; The P-wave velocity of the formation with depth sampling number x; The shear wave velocity of the formation with depth sampling number x.

[0094] Δ x The expression for this is obtained through the formula for calculating ground stress using the elastic modulus;

[0095] The elastic modulus is used to calculate the ground stress as follows:

[0096]

[0097] In the formula, σ is the geostress; ρ corresponds to the formation density. V represents the compression per unit thickness of adjacent strata. p V represents the P-wave velocity of the corresponding stratum. s This represents the shear wave velocity of the corresponding stratum.

[0098] To measure the compression per unit thickness of multiple adjacent strata. Unchanged, we get Δ x The expression.

[0099] In this embodiment, the obtained geostress ratio function is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The calculation results obtained by the geostress ratio function in this calculation method are shown; where the horizontal axis is the stratum depth in meters and the vertical axis is the geostress ratio, which is dimensionless.

[0100] D. Repeat step C until x = i, and output the geostress σ of the stratum i to be measured. i .

[0101] The pressure of the overlying strata at the stratum to be measured is determined based on the average density of the overlying strata of the measured stratum.

[0102] The pressure of the overlying strata at the stratum to be measured is determined using the following formula:

[0103]

[0104] In the formula, P Oi The pressure of the overlying strata of the target stratum i; H represents the average density of the overlying rock strata. i denoted as , where is the depth of the target stratum i; and g is the gravitational acceleration.

[0105] The formation pressure of the stratum to be measured is determined based on the pressure of the overlying strata and the in-situ stress at the stratum to be measured.

[0106] Determine using the following formula

[0107] P fi =P Oi -σ i ;

[0108] In the formula, P fi This refers to the formation pressure of the stratum to be measured.

[0109] This embodiment acquires wellbore seismic data and logging density data of P-waves and S-waves, and combines the two to establish a formation pressure calculation formula related to wellbore seismic P-wave layer velocity, S-wave layer velocity and density data, thereby achieving the effect of accurately calculating formation pressure and providing an effective means to solve the problem of accurate formation pressure calculation.
