[0002] At present, the logging oil and water layer interpretation and evaluation is mainly based on two aspects of reservoir physical property and oiliness for evaluation, wherein the physical property is generally based on porosity and permeability, and the oiliness is mainly based on gas logging data, the reservoir fluid property is evaluated according to the high and low of total hydrocarbon value, the fullness degree of peak type and component characteristics, and the best point data in the interpretation layer is usually used for evaluation, which can make reasonable interpretation for part of the reservoir, but the low-saturation oil layer has the same oil and water output during oil testing, the total hydrocarbon curve shape is full type, the display values are also higher, the logging data response characteristics are similar to the oil layer, and the reservoir evaluation by relying on single-point analysis of component data cannot objectively reflect the reservoir fluid property, which brings difficulties to the logging interpretation, and the evaluation needs to be combined with the change of layer fluid property. That is, the reservoir evaluation by relying on single-point analysis of component data cannot objectively reflect the reservoir fluid property. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application aims to provide an oil and water layer evaluation method based on homologous coefficient standard deviation, so as to solve the problem that the reservoir evaluation by relying on single-point analysis of component data cannot objectively reflect the reservoir fluid property.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problem, the technical scheme provided by the present application is as follows:

[0007] Further, the interpretation graph plate comprises the interpretation areas of oil layer, oil and water layer, oil-bearing water layer, poor oil layer and dry layer.

[0008] Further, different symbols are used to mark the sample points with different fluid properties.

[0009] Further, the shape of the symbol is a square, and the side length of the square of the symbol of the layer with the homologous coefficient standard deviation greater than or equal to 1 is twice the homologous coefficient standard deviation less than 1.

[0010] Further, the oil layer data sample point is represented by ; the oil-water layer data sample point is represented by ; the oil-bearing water layer data sample point is represented by ; the difference oil layer data sample point is represented by ; the dry layer data sample point is represented by ; and the layer data point to be interpreted is represented by .

[0011] Further, the method for calculating the effective total hydrocarbon of each point in the tested oil layer and the layer to be interpreted is as follows:

[0012] TG Y = TG - T j .

[0013] TG Y — effective total hydrocarbon, %;

[0014] TG — total hydrocarbon detection value, %;

[0015] T j — total hydrocarbon base value, %.

[0016] Further, the method for calculating the effective total hydrocarbon fraction of each tested oil layer and the layer to be interpreted is as follows:

[0017] TG Z = TG Y1 + TG Y2 + … + TG Yd .

[0020] Further, the method for calculating the homologous coefficient of each measurement point is as follows:

[0021] TF = (nC4 + nC5) / (iC4 + iC5);

[0022] TF — homologous coefficient, dimensionless;

[0023] nC4 — normal butane content, %;

[0024] nC5 — normal pentane content, %;

[0025] iC4 — isobutane content, %;

[0026] iC5 - isopentane content, %.

[0027] Further, the method for calculating the standard deviation of the isogeny coefficient of each tested oil layer and the layer to be interpreted is as follows:

[0028]

[0029] S TF the standard deviation of the isogeny coefficient in the layer;

[0030] TF i the isogeny coefficient of the i-th meter in the layer, i = 1, 2, 3…, d;

[0031] the average value of the isogeny coefficient in the layer.

[0032] Further, when the drop point of the layer to be interpreted is in the oil layer or the oil-water layer area, if the standard deviation of the isogeny coefficient is greater than or equal to 1, the layer to be interpreted is an oil-water layer; if the standard deviation of the isogeny coefficient is less than 1, the layer to be interpreted is an oil layer.

[0033] The technical effects that can be achieved by the present application based on the above technical solutions are:

[0034] The oil-water layer evaluation method based on the standard deviation of the isogeny coefficient provided by the present application comprises the following steps: collecting the gas logging data and porosity data of the tested oil layer and the layer to be interpreted; calculating the effective total hydrocarbon fraction and the standard deviation of the isogeny coefficient of the tested oil layer and the layer to be interpreted; establishing a coordinate system with the effective total hydrocarbon fraction of the tested oil layer as the horizontal coordinate and the porosity of the tested oil layer as the vertical coordinate, projecting the sample points of the tested oil layer into the coordinate system, and establishing an interpretation plate; projecting the effective total hydrocarbon fraction and the porosity of the layer to be interpreted into the interpretation plate, and interpreting according to the interpretation area where the drop point is located and the size of the standard deviation of the isogeny coefficient.

In addition, the size of the projection point mark is used to represent the size of the standard deviation of the isogeny coefficient, the three-dimensional data is displayed in a plane, which is more intuitive than the traditional three-dimensional plate, improves the interpretation accuracy of the low-saturation oil layer, reduces the difficulty of oil testing layer selection, is conducive to better playing the role of gas logging technology, and is also conducive to improving the success rate of oil testing and the production efficiency.

[0048] The following Figures 1-5 The oil-water layer evaluation method based on homologous coefficient standard deviation provided in the embodiment is described in detail as follows:

[0049] The oil-water layer evaluation method based on homologous coefficient standard deviation provided in the embodiment is described in detail as follows:

[0050] S100—collecting gas logging data and porosity data of tested oil layers and layers to be interpreted.

[0051] S200—calculating effective total hydrocarbon fractions and homologous coefficient standard deviations:

[0052] a) the method for calculating the effective total hydrocarbon of each point in the tested oil layers and the layers to be interpreted is as follows:

[0053] TG Y = TG - T j ;

[0054] TG Y — effective total hydrocarbon, %;

[0055] TG— total hydrocarbon detection value, %;

[0056] T j — total hydrocarbon base value, %.

[0057] b) the method for calculating the effective total hydrocarbon fractions of the tested oil layers and the layers to be interpreted is as follows:

[0058] TGZ = TG Y1 + TG Y2 +... + TG Yd ;

[0059] TG Z Effective total hydrocarbon fraction of the tested oil layer and the layer to be interpreted;

[0060] TG Y1、 TG Y2 ,..., TG Yd Effective total hydrocarbon of the 1st meter, the 2nd meter,..., the dth meter in the layer.

[0061] c) The method for calculating the homologous coefficient of each tested oil layer and the layer to be interpreted is as follows:

[0062] TF = (nC4 + nC5) / (iC4 + iC5);

[0063] TF - Homologous coefficient, dimensionless;

[0064] nC4 - Normal butane content, %;

[0065] nC5 - Normal pentane content, %;

[0066] iC4 - Isobutane content, %;

[0067] iC5 - Isopentane content, %.

[0068] d) The method for calculating the standard deviation of the homologous coefficient of each tested oil layer and the layer to be interpreted is as follows:

[0069]

[0070] S TF - Standard deviation of the homologous coefficient in the layer;

[0071] TF i - Homologous coefficient of the ith meter in the layer, i = 1, 2, 3,..., d;

[0072] - Average value of the homologous coefficient in the layer.

[0073] It should be noted that the sampling interval can be determined according to the situation. For example, gas logging data and porosity are collected at intervals of 0.1 meters, 0.2 meters, etc. At this time, i is only used for counting, indicating the sampling point number. Usually, it is collected at intervals of 1 meter, and the maximum value of the collected data within 1 meter is selected.

[0074] In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the sampling interval of the tested oil layer and the layer to be interpreted is consistent.

[0075] S300—Establishing a coordinate system with the effective full hydrocarbon fraction of the tested oil layer as the abscissa and the porosity of the tested oil layer as the ordinate, projecting the sample points of the tested oil layer into the coordinate system, and establishing an interpretation plate.

[0076] As shown in Figure 1 , the interpretation regions of oil layer, oil-water layer, oil-bearing water layer, poor oil layer and dry layer are determined according to the landing points of each sample point. Different symbols are used to mark different fluid properties on the interpretation plate. Specifically, square symbols filled with different lines are used for marking, and oil layer data sample points are represented by ; oil-water layer data sample points are represented by ; oil-bearing water layer data sample points are represented by ; poor oil layer data sample points are represented by ; dry layer data sample points are represented by ; and to-be-interpreted layer data points are represented by . At the same time, the length of the square of the layer with a homologous coefficient standard deviation greater than or equal to 1 on the interpretation plate is twice that of the layer with a homologous coefficient standard deviation less than 1.

[0077] S400—Projecting the effective full hydrocarbon fraction and porosity of the to-be-interpreted layer into the interpretation plate, and interpreting according to the interpretation region where the landing point is located and the size of the homologous coefficient standard deviation:

[0078] It should be noted that when multiple hydrocarbons are dissolved in water, the solubility of isoparaffin and n-paraffin in water is different, so the ratio of the two, i.e. the homologous coefficient, can be used to determine whether the formation contains water. The standard deviation reflects the dispersion degree of a group of data, so when the formation contains two or more fluids, the homologous coefficients of different points in the layer will have a large difference, and the value of the standard deviation will also be relatively high. When the formation is a single fluid, the data is more concentrated, and the standard deviation is also smaller. Therefore, the homologous coefficient standard deviation can be used to finely divide oil layers and oil-water layers.

[0079] That is, when the landing point of the to-be-interpreted layer is in the oil layer or oil-water layer region, if the homologous coefficient standard deviation is greater than or equal to 1, the to-be-interpreted layer is an oil-water layer; if the homologous coefficient standard deviation is less than 1, the to-be-interpreted layer is an oil layer.

[0080] The oil-water layer evaluation method based on the homologous coefficient standard deviation provided in this embodiment is applied as follows:

[0081] An interpretation plate is established according to the data of the tested oil layer, and an interpretation plate as shown in Figure 1 is obtained. For the to-be-interpreted layer, gas logging data and porosity are collected at intervals of 1 meter, and the effective full hydrocarbon fraction and the homologous coefficient standard deviation are calculated, and the effective full hydrocarbon fraction and the porosity of the to-be-interpreted layer are projected into the interpretation plate, and an interpretation plate as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 5 is obtained.

[0082] Layer 1 to be interpreted: Layer 4 of well N521X, well depth 2718-2729m, layer thickness 11m, logging data shown in Table 1, baseline value 0.68%, if... Figure 2 The middle lead 1 points to; calculate the effective total hydrocarbons, such as Figure 2 The middle lead 2 indicates that the porosity, as obtained from collected data, is 18.3%, and the calculated effective total hydrocarbon fraction is 24.429%. Figure 3 The explanatory chart shown depicts the oil layer and the oil-water co-layer area, as... Figure 3 superior The marked location. The calculated standard deviation of the homology coefficient is 1.07, therefore it is interpreted as an oil-water co-layer. Oil testing of this layer yielded 8.5 m³ of oil per day. 3 Daily water production 4.7m 3 The explanation and conclusion are consistent with the oil test results.

[0084]

[0085]

[0086] Layer 2 to be interpreted: Layer 2 of well G69X, depth 2640-2648m, thickness 8m, logging data shown in Table 2, baseline value 0.593%, if... Figure 4 The middle lead 3 points to; calculate the effective total hydrocarbons. Figure 4 The middle lead 4 points to the data. The collected data shows a porosity of 19.5%, and the calculated effective total hydrocarbon fraction is 26.449%. Figure 5 The explanatory chart shown depicts the oil layer and the oil-water co-layer area, as... Figure 5 superior The marked location, with a calculated homology coefficient standard deviation of 0.44, is therefore interpreted as an oil layer. Oil testing of this layer yielded a daily oil production of 10.27 m³. 3 It is a pure oil layer, and the interpretation conclusion is consistent with the oil test conclusion.

[0088]

[0089] By processing the data within the layer and integrating the characteristics of multi-point data within the layer, the shortcomings of traditional single-point interpretation methods are effectively solved. The size of the projection point marker is used to represent the standard deviation of the homogeneous coefficient, realizing a planar display of three-dimensional data, which is more intuitive than traditional three-dimensional charts. This improves the interpretation accuracy of low-saturation oil layers, reduces the difficulty of oil testing and layer selection, and is conducive to better leveraging the role of gas testing technology. It is also conducive to improving the success rate of oil testing and production efficiency.

[0090] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
