[0002] The geothermal gradient is one of the most fundamental geothermal parameters, commonly used in oil and gas basins to describe the vertical variation of drilling temperature. In basin analysis, temperature is a crucial factor to consider in determining organic matter thermal evolution, hydrocarbon phases, and the use of drilling instruments. Previous research identifies two main parameters influencing temperature variation: rock thermal conductivity and geothermal heat flow. In actual exploration and production, the lack of deep thermal conductivity data can easily lead to overestimation of the geothermal gradient in deep formations during single-well temperature analysis.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] The geothermal gradient is one of the most fundamental geothermal parameters, commonly used in oil and gas basins to describe the vertical variation of drilling temperature. In basin analysis, temperature is a crucial factor to consider in determining organic matter thermal evolution, hydrocarbon phases, and the use of drilling instruments. Based on previous research, two main parameters currently influence temperature variation: rock thermal conductivity and geothermal heat flow.
[0030] Chinese and foreign scholars have made a great deal of research results in the study of geothermal fields in basins. Since the geothermal flow value of a fixed tectonic unit in a geological history is relatively stable, the main factor determining the vertical distribution of geothermal gradient in a certain tectonic unit at a certain period is the change in rock thermal conductivity.
[0031] Previous experiments and analyses have shown that the thermal conductivity parameters of strata rocks vary greatly due to differences in rock properties and burial depth (different degrees of compaction) in different basins. For example, in the Tarim Basin, the thermal conductivity of Miocene rocks is 1.8 W / mK, the thermal conductivity of Middle Ordovician rocks reaches 3.00 W / mK, while the thermal conductivity of Cambrian strata reaches 3.73 W / mK
[11] . The thermal conductivity of Cambrian rocks is almost twice that of Miocene rocks. Even among strata deposited in the same period, the thermal conductivity of Miocene rocks in the Qaidam Basin is 1.90 W / mK, and the thermal conductivity of rocks in different basins is also different. The selection of rock thermal conductivity is crucial for the prediction of stratum temperature. In single-well simulations, the thermal conductivity parameters of rocks are given according to geological models that use fixed rock types and corresponding fixed thermal conductivity values. In the model (taking Petrolmod as an example), the thermal conductivity of limestone is only about 2.2 W / mK, which is significantly different from the actual measured value of 3.00 W / mK in the Ordovician system of the Tarim Basin. If this model with fixed rock thermal conductivity parameters is used for simulation, it will inevitably lead to a large difference between the actual formation temperature value and the simulation value, thus affecting people's judgment on the thermal evolution of organic matter.
[0032] In actual exploration and production, due to the lack of deep thermal conductivity data, single-well temperature analysis generally uses the average geothermal gradient of shallow formations to estimate the deep geothermal gradient, which easily leads to an overestimation of the deep geothermal gradient. Furthermore, when studying thermal conductivity, a single thermal conductivity is typically assigned to a single rock formation unit, without considering the changes in rock thermal conductivity at the corresponding depth based on compaction, resulting in biased temperature predictions.
[0033] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention utilizes the thermal conductivity data of each rock stratum and dynamically analyzes the thermal conductivity values of the same rock stratum at different depths based on the changes in rock activity with depth. This establishes a rock thermal conductivity model, enabling more accurate analysis of formation temperature variations. Furthermore, this new model allows for the reconstruction of single-well burial histories, leading to more accurate predictions of hydrocarbon accumulation phases. This invention can more accurately predict the temperature characteristics of deep formations and, by utilizing thermal conductivity data, more accurately reconstruct the deep burial history, providing a basis for determining hydrocarbon accumulation phases. Specific implementation methods are described in the following examples.
[0034] Example 1:
[0035] This embodiment provides a drilling temperature prediction method, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the drilling temperature prediction method includes:
[0036] Step 01: Determine whether there is drilling data for the shallow clastic rock strata in the study area; if so, obtain the thermal conductivity data of the clastic rocks based on the drilling data; if not, obtain the thermal conductivity data of the rocks under different porosity conditions after the burial depth changes based on the thermal conductivity data of the rocks measured by the field outcrops in the study area.
[0037] The step of obtaining the thermal conductivity data of clastic rocks based on drilling data includes: obtaining the initial thermal conductivity data of clastic rocks using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation based on the original static temperature measurement data of the drilling formation and the current regional geothermal heat flow value.
[0038] Furthermore, after the step of obtaining the initial clastic rock thermal conductivity data based on the original static temperature measurement data of the drilling formation and the current regional geothermal heat flow value using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation, the method further includes: correcting the abnormal temperature data in the initial clastic rock thermal conductivity data by combining the rock thermal conductivity data of the clastic rock itself in the literature, and finally determining the rock thermal conductivity data of different clastic rock formations.
[0039] In summary, for the shallow clastic rock strata in the study area, if there is drilling data nearby, the original static temperature measurement data of the drilling strata can be used, combined with the current regional geothermal heat flow value, and the one-dimensional heat conduction equation can be used to directly calculate the thermal conductivity of the clastic rocks. The abnormal temperature data can be corrected by combining the thermal conductivity data of the clastic rocks themselves in the literature, and finally the thermal conductivity data of different clastic rock strata can be determined.
[0040] For the shallow clastic rock strata in the study area, if there is no drilling data near the study area, the steps for obtaining the rock thermal conductivity data under different porosity conditions with varying burial depth based on the rock thermal conductivity data measured by field outcrops in the study area include: selecting the rock thermal conductivity data measured by field outcrops in the area, while considering the influence of formation porosity on rock thermal conductivity, and obtaining the rock thermal conductivity data under different porosity conditions with varying burial depth based on the porosity calculation formula, according to the ideal condition of uniform pore space distribution, and considering the influence of porosity on thermal conductivity.
[0041] Step 02: Collect field or well samples of the corresponding strata in the study area, and measure the thermal conductivity data of the deep carbonate rock strata by measuring the field or well samples.
[0042] The step of measuring the thermal conductivity data of deep carbonate rock formations from the field or well samples includes: measuring the thermal conductivity data of deep carbonate rock formations from the field or well samples using a thermal conductivity measuring instrument.
[0043] In summary, there is limited data on the thermal conductivity of deep carbonate rock formations in previous studies. It is necessary to collect field or well samples of the corresponding strata in the region and use thermal conductivity measuring instruments to determine the thermal conductivity data of the carbonate rock formations.
[0044] Step 03: Based on the thermal conductivity of the clastic rocks, the thermal conductivity data of the rocks under different porosity conditions after changes in burial depth, and the thermal conductivity data of the deep carbonate rock strata, establish a thermal conductivity model of the rocks in the study area;
[0045] Step 04: Obtain the formation temperature of the well based on the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area to predict the well temperature.
[0046] The step of obtaining the formation temperature of the well based on the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area to predict the well temperature includes: using the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area, combined with current regional geothermal heat flow data, to simulate and calculate the un-drilled formation temperature using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation, thereby predicting the well temperature. By using the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area, combined with current regional geothermal heat flow data, and calculating using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation, the un-drilled formation temperature can be simulated and calculated, providing a reliable basis for well temperature prediction.
[0047] The new rock thermal conductivity data and calculation method provided in this embodiment differ from the existing method of assigning the same thermal conductivity to a single rock formation. Instead, it assigns varying rock thermal conductivity to different formations as the depth changes, thus enabling more accurate calculation of formation temperature.
[0048] Example 2:
[0049] Based on the actual temperature and measured thermal conductivity data from the Shunbei 5 well, and combined with previous measured rock thermal conductivity data, this embodiment establishes a rock thermal conductivity model for the Tarim Basin platform area (as shown in Table 1). Overall, it can be seen that the rock thermal conductivity values increase with depth, which is due to the increase in rock density with increasing depth. Furthermore, the relationship between lithology and rock thermal conductivity is also quite close; it can be observed that the thermal conductivity values of Devonian quartz sandstone, Middle-Lower Ordovician carbonate rocks, and Cambrian gypsum-salt rocks are significantly higher.
[0050] Table 1. Thermal conductivity model of rocks in the Tarim Basin area
[0051]
[0052] Based on new rock thermal conductivity data, and considering the impact of compaction on rock thermal conductivity with depth, the temperature of Shunbei 5 was simulated and predicted using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation. The calculation results showed that the simulated temperature results for a single well were in very good agreement with the actual temperature results (e.g., Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the geothermal gradient decreases significantly with increasing stratum depth. The temperature data deviation rate does not exceed 5%.
[0053] To further verify the simulation results, well Shunbei 5 was selected, and the thermal conductivity data from Table 1 were used with Petromod software to reconstruct the burial history of a single well. The simulation results show that (as...) Figure 3As shown in the diagram, by the end of the Permian, the source rocks of the Tayuertus Formation reached the hydrocarbon generation threshold and began continuous hydrocarbon generation, with oil reservoir temperatures around 110℃. This process continued until the end of the Cretaceous, when the source rock temperature reached 163℃ and the oil reservoir temperature was around 135℃. Overall, the hydrocarbon accumulation process can be divided into two phases: the first phase being the Permian, and the second phase being the Jurassic-present period. This aligns with new understandings of hydrocarbon accumulation.
[0054] Example 3:
[0055] This embodiment provides a method for predicting the drilling oil and gas accumulation stages. This method uses the aforementioned drilling temperature prediction method to predict the drilling temperature. Specifically, the drilling temperature is used to reconstruct the drilling burial history, and the drilling oil and gas accumulation stages are predicted based on the reconstructed drilling burial history.
[0056] The methods for predicting drilling temperature include:
[0057] Step 01: Determine whether there is drilling data for the shallow clastic rock strata in the study area; if so, obtain the thermal conductivity data of the clastic rocks based on the drilling data; if not, obtain the thermal conductivity data of the rocks under different porosity conditions after the burial depth changes based on the thermal conductivity data of the rocks measured by the field outcrops in the study area.
[0058] The step of obtaining the thermal conductivity data of clastic rocks based on drilling data includes: obtaining the initial thermal conductivity data of clastic rocks using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation based on the original static temperature measurement data of the drilling formation and the current regional geothermal heat flow value.
[0059] Furthermore, after the step of obtaining the initial clastic rock thermal conductivity data based on the original static temperature measurement data of the drilling formation and the current regional geothermal heat flow value using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation, the method further includes: correcting the abnormal temperature data in the initial clastic rock thermal conductivity data by combining the rock thermal conductivity data of the clastic rock itself in the literature, and finally determining the rock thermal conductivity data of different clastic rock formations.
[0060] In summary, for the shallow clastic rock strata in the study area, if there is drilling data nearby, the original static temperature measurement data of the drilling strata can be used, combined with the current regional geothermal heat flow value, and the one-dimensional heat conduction equation can be used to directly calculate the thermal conductivity of the clastic rocks. The abnormal temperature data can be corrected by combining the thermal conductivity data of the clastic rocks themselves in the literature, and finally the thermal conductivity data of different clastic rock strata can be determined.
[0061] For the shallow clastic rock strata in the study area, if there is no drilling data near the study area, the steps for obtaining the rock thermal conductivity data under different porosity conditions with varying burial depth based on the rock thermal conductivity data measured by field outcrops in the study area include: selecting the rock thermal conductivity data measured by field outcrops in the area, while considering the influence of formation porosity on rock thermal conductivity, and obtaining the rock thermal conductivity data under different porosity conditions with varying burial depth based on the porosity calculation formula, according to the ideal condition of uniform pore space distribution, and considering the influence of porosity on thermal conductivity.
[0062] Step 02: Collect field or well samples of the corresponding strata in the study area, and measure the thermal conductivity data of the deep carbonate rock strata by measuring the field or well samples.
[0063] The step of measuring the thermal conductivity data of deep carbonate rock formations from the field or well samples includes: measuring the thermal conductivity data of deep carbonate rock formations from the field or well samples using a thermal conductivity measuring instrument.
[0064] In summary, there is limited data on the thermal conductivity of deep carbonate rock formations in previous studies. It is necessary to collect field or well samples of the corresponding strata in the region and use thermal conductivity measuring instruments to determine the thermal conductivity data of the carbonate rock formations.
[0065] Step 03: Based on the thermal conductivity of the clastic rocks, the thermal conductivity data of the rocks under different porosity conditions after changes in burial depth, and the thermal conductivity data of the deep carbonate rock strata, establish a thermal conductivity model of the rocks in the study area;
[0066] Step 04: Obtain the formation temperature of the well based on the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area to predict the well temperature.
[0067] The step of obtaining the formation temperature of the well based on the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area to predict the well temperature includes: using the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area, combined with current regional geothermal heat flow data, to simulate and calculate the un-drilled formation temperature using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation, thereby predicting the well temperature. By using the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area, combined with current regional geothermal heat flow data, and calculating using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation, the un-drilled formation temperature can be simulated and calculated, providing a reliable basis for well temperature prediction.
[0068] Finally, based on the predicted drilling temperature, the burial history of a single well is reconstructed, and the drilling oil and gas accumulation period is predicted based on the reconstructed burial history.
[0069] The new rock thermal conductivity data and calculation method provided in this embodiment differ from the existing method of assigning the same thermal conductivity to a rock formation. Instead, it assigns different rock thermal conductivity to different formations as the depth changes. Therefore, it can calculate the formation temperature more accurately. Based on this, it can carry out single-well burial history restoration and more accurately calculate the oil and gas accumulation stages of single wells.

[0077] The analysis module 60 is used to obtain the formation temperature of the well based on the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area, so as to predict the well temperature.
[0078] The judgment module 10 determines whether there is drilling data in the shallow clastic rock strata of the study area; if so, the calculation module 20 obtains the thermal conductivity data of the clastic rocks based on the drilling data; if not, the calculation module 20 obtains the thermal conductivity data of the rocks under different porosity conditions after changes in burial depth based on the thermal conductivity data of the rocks measured by field outcrops in the study area; the acquisition module 30 collects field or drilling samples of the corresponding strata in the study area; then the measurement module 40 is used to measure the thermal conductivity data of the deep carbonate rock strata by measuring the field or drilling samples; the model building module 50 is used to build a thermal conductivity model of the rocks in the study area based on the thermal conductivity of the clastic rocks, the thermal conductivity data of the rocks under different porosity conditions after changes in burial depth, and the thermal conductivity data of the deep carbonate rock strata; the analysis module 60 is used to obtain the formation temperature of the drilling based on the thermal conductivity model of the rocks in the study area, so as to predict the drilling temperature.
[0079] Furthermore, the calculation module 20 is also used to obtain the initial rock thermal conductivity data of the clastic rocks based on the original static temperature measurement data of the drilling formation and combined with the current regional geothermal heat flow value, using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation.
[0080] Furthermore, the calculation module 20 is also used to correct the abnormal temperature data in the initial clastic rock thermal conductivity data by combining the rock thermal conductivity data of the clastic rock itself in the literature, and finally determine the rock thermal conductivity data of different clastic rock strata.
[0081] Furthermore, the calculation module 20 is also used to select rock thermal conductivity data measured from outcrops in the region, while considering the influence of porosity inside the strata on the rock thermal conductivity. Based on the porosity calculation formula, and under the ideal condition of uniform distribution of pore space, and considering the influence of porosity on thermal conductivity, rock thermal conductivity data under different porosity conditions with varying burial depth are obtained.
[0082] Furthermore, the measurement module 40 is also used to measure the thermal conductivity data of deep carbonate rock formations using a thermal conductivity measuring instrument for the field or drilling samples.
[0083] Furthermore, the analysis module 60 is also used to simulate and calculate the un-drilled formation temperature based on the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area and combined with the current regional geothermal heat flow data, using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation, in order to predict the drilling temperature.
[0084] The drilling temperature prediction device 100 provided in this embodiment of the invention uses rock thermal conductivity data corresponding to each rock formation. Based on the variation of rock action with depth, it dynamically analyzes the rock thermal conductivity values of the same rock formation at different depths, thereby establishing a rock thermal conductivity model. This allows for more accurate analysis of formation temperature changes. Simultaneously, using the new rock thermal conductivity model, it performs single-well burial history reconstruction, enabling more accurate prediction of single-well hydrocarbon accumulation stages. This invention can more accurately predict deep formation temperature characteristics and, by utilizing thermal conductivity data, more accurately reconstruct deep burial history processes, providing a basis for determining hydrocarbon accumulation stages.

[0105] Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, or the part that contributes to the prior art, or part of the technical solution, can be embodied in the form of a software product. The computer software product is stored in a storage medium and includes several instructions to cause a computer device (which may be a personal computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to execute all or part of the steps of the methods described in the various embodiments of the present invention.
[0106] The aforementioned storage media include: flash memory, hard disks, multimedia cards, card-type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory), random access memory (RAM), static random access memory (SRAM), read-only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), magnetic memory, disks, optical discs, servers, APP application stores, and various other media capable of storing program verification codes, on which computer programs are stored. When the computer program is executed by a processor, it can implement the following method steps:
[0107] Step 01: Determine whether there is drilling data for the shallow clastic rock strata in the study area; if so, obtain the thermal conductivity data of the clastic rocks based on the drilling data; if not, obtain the thermal conductivity data of the rocks under different porosity conditions after the burial depth changes based on the thermal conductivity data of the rocks measured by the field outcrops in the study area.
[0108] The step of obtaining the thermal conductivity data of clastic rocks based on drilling data includes: obtaining the initial thermal conductivity data of clastic rocks using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation based on the original static temperature measurement data of the drilling formation and the current regional geothermal heat flow value.
[0109] Furthermore, after the step of obtaining the initial clastic rock thermal conductivity data based on the original static temperature measurement data of the drilling formation and the current regional geothermal heat flow value using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation, the method further includes: correcting the abnormal temperature data in the initial clastic rock thermal conductivity data by combining the rock thermal conductivity data of the clastic rock itself in the literature, and finally determining the rock thermal conductivity data of different clastic rock formations.
[0110] In summary, for the shallow clastic rock strata in the study area, if there is drilling data nearby, the original static temperature measurement data of the drilling strata can be used, combined with the current regional geothermal heat flow value, and the one-dimensional heat conduction equation can be used to directly calculate the thermal conductivity of the clastic rocks. The abnormal temperature data can be corrected by combining the thermal conductivity data of the clastic rocks themselves in the literature, and finally the thermal conductivity data of different clastic rock strata can be determined.
[0111] For the shallow clastic rock strata in the study area, if there is no drilling data near the study area, the steps for obtaining the rock thermal conductivity data under different porosity conditions with varying burial depth based on the rock thermal conductivity data measured by field outcrops in the study area include: selecting the rock thermal conductivity data measured by field outcrops in the area, while considering the influence of formation porosity on rock thermal conductivity, and obtaining the rock thermal conductivity data under different porosity conditions with varying burial depth based on the porosity calculation formula, according to the ideal condition of uniform pore space distribution, and considering the influence of porosity on thermal conductivity.
[0112] Step 02: Collect field or well samples of the corresponding strata in the study area, and measure the thermal conductivity data of the deep carbonate rock strata by measuring the field or well samples.
[0113] The step of measuring the thermal conductivity data of deep carbonate rock formations from the field or well samples includes: measuring the thermal conductivity data of deep carbonate rock formations from the field or well samples using a thermal conductivity measuring instrument.
[0114] In summary, there is limited data on the thermal conductivity of deep carbonate rock formations in previous studies. It is necessary to collect field or well samples of the corresponding strata in the region and use thermal conductivity measuring instruments to determine the thermal conductivity data of the carbonate rock formations.
[0115] Step 03: Based on the thermal conductivity of the clastic rocks, the thermal conductivity data of the rocks under different porosity conditions after changes in burial depth, and the thermal conductivity data of the deep carbonate rock strata, establish a thermal conductivity model of the rocks in the study area;
[0116] Step 04: Obtain the formation temperature of the well based on the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area to predict the well temperature.
[0117] The step of obtaining the formation temperature of the well based on the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area to predict the well temperature includes: using the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area, combined with current regional geothermal heat flow data, to simulate and calculate the un-drilled formation temperature using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation, thereby predicting the well temperature. By using the rock thermal conductivity model of the study area, combined with current regional geothermal heat flow data, and calculating using a one-dimensional heat conduction equation, the un-drilled formation temperature can be simulated and calculated, providing a reliable basis for well temperature prediction.
[0118] The new rock thermal conductivity data and calculation method provided in this embodiment differ from the existing method of assigning the same thermal conductivity to a single rock formation. Instead, it assigns varying rock thermal conductivity to different formations as the depth changes, thus enabling more accurate calculation of formation temperature.
