Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of well logging technology in oil and gas exploration, specifically to a method and system for evaluating atomic ratio saturation in pulsed neutron energy spectrum well logging. Background Technology

[0002] As exploration and development deepen, unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, such as tight reservoirs, deep-water deep-layer oil and gas, and shale oil and gas, are increasingly accounting for a larger proportion of exploration. Quantitative evaluation of oil saturation in unconventional reservoirs is a key parameter for reservoir assessment and reserve calculation, and is of great significance to oil and gas exploration and development. Resistivity logging and nuclear magnetic resonance logging have played important roles in evaluating formation oil and gas content. However, resistivity logging and nuclear magnetic resonance logging have significant errors in low-contrast oil and gas reservoirs and tight formations. Pulsed neutron logging technology, by measuring the gamma rays generated after high-energy neutrons interact with formation materials, can identify the formation framework and fluid composition. Among these, carbon-oxygen ratio logging using pulsed neutron logging technology to measure the secondary gamma spectrum is one of the effective methods for evaluating formation oil and gas content. By selecting characteristic gamma energy windows for carbon and oxygen elements, obtaining the C / O value based on the gamma count ratio of the energy window, and combining it with the instrument's ground calibration formula, carbon-oxygen ratio energy spectrum logging plays a key role in evaluating the residual oil saturation after casing.

[0003] The complex mineral composition and low porosity / permeability of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs pose significant challenges to the accurate identification of pore fluids. Using carbon-oxygen energy window counting ratios to identify reservoir hydrocarbon content introduces uncertainties, severely impacting the quantitative monitoring of reservoir oil saturation and failing to meet measurement requirements. In particular, the Compton effect of other elements contributes significantly to the gamma counts of elemental characteristic energy windows, leading to low accuracy in oil saturation evaluation. This results in substantial errors in calculating saturation in tight, unconventional reservoirs, and the weak formation response further complicates quantitative saturation assessment. Furthermore, elemental yields represent the relative intensity of gamma rays produced by each element in the secondary gamma spectrum, failing to reflect the atomic composition of the formation medium. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a saturation evaluation method based on pulsed neutron spectroscopy logging technology to eliminate the high Compton background of the windowing method, reflect the true atomic composition of formation elements, and improve the sensitivity of reservoir oil-water identification. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method and system for evaluating atomic ratio saturation in pulsed neutron energy spectrum logging. It applies formation element logging methods to pulsed neutron saturation evaluation, uses inelastic gamma spectroscopy to obtain the atomic ratio of formation elements, accurately calculates the atomic ratio of each element in the formation, eliminates the contribution of the Compton effect of other elements in the gamma count of element characteristic energy windows, realizes high-precision measurement of C / O parameters, and improves the sensitivity of reservoir oil-water identification.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0049] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0050] This invention provides a method for evaluating atomic ratio saturation in pulsed neutron energy spectrum logging. It applies formation element logging methods to pulsed neutron saturation evaluation, uses inelastic gamma spectroscopy to obtain the atomic ratio of formation elements, accurately calculates the atomic ratio of each element in the formation, eliminates the contribution of the Compton effect of other elements in the gamma count of element characteristic energy windows, realizes high-precision measurement of C / O parameters, and improves the sensitivity of reservoir oil-water identification.

[0051] Specifically, this pulsed neutron energy spectrum logging atomic ratio saturation evaluation method employs a pulsed neutron saturation measurement system consisting of a DT neutron source and a gamma-ray detector, characterized by the following steps:

[0052] Step 1: Based on the selected pulsed neutron saturation logging instrument parameters, and on the basis of the consistency between MCNP simulation and measured well energy spectra calibrated according to standard spectra, establish an instrument formation model, change the formation medium to elemental substances, and simulate the net inelastic gamma spectrum of each element in the detector, which is then regarded as the standard spectrum of each element. For example... Figure 1As shown, the numerical calculation model includes wellbore 1, casing 2, cement sheath 3, formation 4, and pulsed neutron saturation logging instrument 5. The pulsed neutron saturation logging instrument 5 is a pulsed neutron saturation measurement system consisting of a DT neutron source 6, a tungsten-nickel-iron shield 7, and a gamma-ray detector 8. In the instrument formation numerical calculation model, the formation is divided into multiple annular grid elements with a size of 0.5cm × 0.5cm. By changing the formation medium to elemental substances such as Si, Ca, Fe, Mg, S, C, and O, the net nonelastic gamma spectrum was simulated, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown.

[0053] Step 2: Using the established instrumental formation model, the formation is divided into multiple annular grid elements with a size of 0.5cm × 0.5cm. The formation media are set as two-element mixed media such as Si and O, Ca and O, Fe and O, Mg and O, S and O, and C and O. The net inelastic gamma spectrum obtained by analytical simulation using the non-negative least squares method is used to obtain the yields of oxygen and other formation elements. The atomic number sensitivity factors of different types of elements are calculated using the proportion of oxygen and other formation elements in the model. Figure 3 As shown.

[0054] The expression for calculating the atomic number sensitivity factor is shown in formula (1):

[0055]

[0056] In the formula, S i y is the sensitivity factor for the number of atoms of element i. i Let n be the yield of element i in a bi-element medium. i y represents the percentage of atoms of element i in the model. o n represents the oxygen yield in a two-element medium. o This represents the percentage of oxygen atoms in the model.

[0057] Step 3: For the net non-elastic gamma spectrum simulated under arbitrary formation conditions, the yield of each element is obtained analytically. Based on the idea that the sum of the atomic number percentages of all elements in the formation is 1, an atomic number normalization closed model is established to calculate the formation normalization factor F. The atomic number percentages of each element in the formation are obtained using the element yield and the element atomic number sensitivity factor.

[0058] The expression for the atom number normalized closed-loop model is shown in equation (2):

[0059]

[0060] The calculation method for the percentage of atomic numbers of each element in the strata is shown in formula (3):

[0061]

[0062] In the formula, n represents the number of element types, and y i For the output of element i, S i K is the atomic number sensitivity factor for element i, F is the formation element atomic number normalization factor, and K is the atomic number sensitivity factor for element i. i This represents the percentage of atoms in element i. Figure 4 To compare the calculated atomic number ratio under a formation condition using the present invention with the model setting value, the bar chart numbers represent the absolute error of the atomic number ratio, verifying the accuracy of the atomic number ratio calculated by the present invention.

[0063] Step 4: Based on the selected formation model, set up pure water-bearing and pure oil-bearing conditions with different porosities. The formation is divided into multiple annular grid elements with a size of 0.5cm × 0.5cm. The formation porosity is changed from 0% to 30%, increasing by 5% each time. The pore fluid is set as pure water-bearing and pure oil-bearing, respectively. The net inelastic gamma spectrum is obtained through simulation. The atomic percentages of carbon and oxygen are calculated using the above method, and the C / O oil-water line equations are obtained as follows:

[0064] C / O o =A1·φ 2 +B1·φ+C1 (4)

[0065] C / O w =A2·φ 2 +B2·φ+C2 (5)

[0066] In the formula, C / O o and C / O w These represent the carbon to oxygen atom ratios under pure oil-bearing and pure water-bearing conditions, respectively. φ represents the formation porosity, and A, B, and C are constant coefficients.

[0067] Based on the carbon-to-oxygen atomic ratio obtained under the target formation conditions, the formation oil saturation is calculated. The formula for calculating formation oil saturation is shown in formula (6):

[0068]

[0069] In the formula, S o The formation oil saturation, C / O m The carbon to oxygen atom ratio obtained under the target formation conditions, i.e., K C / K O C / O o and C / O w These represent the carbon-to-oxygen atomic ratios under conditions of pure oil-bearing and pure water-bearing formations, respectively.

[0070] according to Figure 5a and Figure 5bSpecifically, this paper compares the oil saturation calculation model obtained in this invention with the sensitivity of C / O oil-water ratio calculated by the windowing method and the atomic number ratio method under limestone formation conditions. As shown in Figure 5, the C / O oil-water line provided by this invention greatly improves the sensitivity compared with the windowing method, which is beneficial for the quantitative monitoring of reservoir oil saturation and provides technical support for the quantitative calculation of formation oil saturation.

[0071] This invention also provides a pulsed neutron energy spectrum logging atomic ratio saturation evaluation system, including...

The formation medium is changed to the elemental substance of each element, and the net inelastic gamma energy spectrum of each element in the detector is simulated. The net inelastic gamma energy spectrum is used as the standard spectrum of each elemental substance.

[0073] The first data calculation module is used to utilize the established instrument underlying model, taking oxygen element in each elemental substance as the benchmark, changing the formation medium to a two-element mixed medium of oxygen element and other formation elements, analyzing the net non-elastic gamma energy spectrum obtained from the simulation to obtain the yield of oxygen element and other formation elements, and using the atomic number ratio of oxygen element and other formation elements in the model to calculate the atomic number sensitivity factor of different types of elements.

[0074] The data acquisition module is used to simulate the net non-elastic gamma spectrum for arbitrary formation conditions, analyze the yield of each element, establish a closed-loop atomic number normalization model based on the fact that the sum of the atomic number percentages of all elements in the formation is 1, calculate the formation normalization factor F, and obtain the atomic number percentage of each element in the formation using the element yield and the element atomic number sensitivity factor.

[0075] The second data calculation module is used to set up pure water-bearing and pure oil-bearing conditions for formations with different porosities based on the selected instrument formation model, calculate the proportion of carbon and oxygen atoms, obtain the C / O oil-water line equation, and calculate the formation oil saturation by combining the carbon and oxygen atom ratio obtained under the target formation conditions.

[0076] Example

[0077] Selecting well X, measured by the instrument, as an implementation example, the actual measured energy spectrum of the instrument is first preprocessed to obtain the processed net inelastic gamma energy spectrum. The least squares spectral decomposition method is used to decompose the instrument's measured inelastic gamma energy spectrum using the elemental standard spectrum obtained in step 1 to obtain the measured gamma energy spectrum yield result.

[0078] The yield results obtained after spectral analysis are used to calculate the atomic number content of formation elements by using the elemental sensitivity factors for carbon, oxygen, silicon and calcium described in step 2, combined with the processing method described in step 3.

[0079] Based on the results of instrument numerical simulation and calibration experiments, the oil-water line equation of this instrument is:

[0080] C / O0=7.92E-5·φ 2 +0.00181·φ+0.119 (7)

[0081] C / O w = -1.44E-6·φ 2 +2.95E-5·φ+0.119 (8)

[0082] In the formula, C / O o and C / O w These represent the carbon-to-oxygen atomic ratios under pure oil-bearing and pure water-bearing conditions, respectively, with φ representing the formation porosity.

[0083] Substituting into the saturation calculation formula described in step 4,

[0084]

[0085] In the formula, S o The formation oil saturation, C / O m The carbon to oxygen atom ratio obtained under the target formation conditions, i.e., K C / K O C / O o and C / O w The carbon and oxygen atomic ratios are given under pure oil-bearing and pure water-bearing conditions, respectively, as shown in formulas (7) and (8).

[0086] The saturation calculation results are as follows Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the first track is the depth track, the second track is the naked-eye data, the third track is the compensated density curve, and the fourth track is the deep and shallow resistivity curves. The fifth track is the lithological profile, the sixth track is the C / O atomic ratio and the corresponding oil-water line, and the seventh track is the interpreted oil saturation. The oil saturation interpretation results based on the atomic ratio correspond well with the resistivity curves, and oil was produced after test firing, verifying the effectiveness of the method.

[0087] In summary, this invention discloses a method and system for evaluating atomic ratio saturation in pulsed neutron spectroscopy logging. Based on the fundamental principles of formation elemental logging, this method extracts the atomic percentage of each element in the formation from the elemental yield obtained through energy spectrum data analysis, and establishes an oil saturation calculation model to achieve quantitative monitoring of saturation. First, standard spectra for each element in the formation are established by combining MCNP simulations and measured well spectra calibrated with standard spectra. Second, using oxygen as a benchmark, a mixed formation model of other elements and oxygen is established. The yield of the target element and oxygen is obtained by analyzing the net inelastic gamma spectrum, and the atomic number conversion factor for each element is calculated. Under formation conditions with arbitrary elemental composition, the elemental yield and atomic number conversion factor are combined, and the atomic percentage of each element in the formation is obtained using the formation factor F. Finally, based on the atomic ratio of carbon and oxygen in the formation, the oil saturation is calculated using the elemental atomic number saturation calculation model. This invention obtains the true atomic composition of the formation medium through element yield, eliminates the contribution of the Compton effect of other elements to the gamma count of the element characteristic energy window in the conventional windowing method, significantly improves the sensitivity of C / O evaluation of oil saturation, and provides technical support for the quantitative calculation of formation oil saturation.
