Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum logging data processing and relates to a method and system for wellbore geometric correction using microresistivity scanning imaging. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of imaging instruments, the role of fine evaluation technology in well logging data processing and interpretation is becoming increasingly important, and oilfields are demanding higher levels of fine evaluation of well logging data. In this context, the role of fine evaluation using electrical imaging is becoming increasingly crucial. Electrical imaging wellbore geometry correction technology can accurately reconstruct the precise location of the wellbore around the well, providing a foundation for subsequent evaluation. In irregular wellbore conditions, the diameter corresponding to the electrode plates reflects changes in the wellbore. Due to variations in the spacing between the electrodes, these changes need to be accurately reflected in the imaging image. Currently, the software used cannot adequately reflect these diameter changes on the imaging image. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and provide a method and system for geometric correction of micro-resistivity scanning imaging wellbore, which can correct the data of eccentric measurement of electrical imaging instruments, solve the problem that the eccentric measurement data of electrical imaging instruments cannot be corrected, and expand the application range of imaging instruments.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution: A method for geometrological correction of a wellbore in microresistivity scanning imaging system includes: The wellbore diameter curve and azimuth angle of the test well were obtained by scanning with an electrical imaging instrument; Fit the wellbore curve and azimuth angle, and obtain the parameter characteristics of the wellbore fitting ellipse model based on the least squares method to obtain the ellipse model; Calculate the coordinates of the intersection point of the ellipse equation and the azimuth angle, and based on the intersection point coordinates, obtain the angle between the ellipse and the center of the ellipse in the elliptical coordinate system; The angle of each electrode center is obtained based on the rotation angle of the elliptical coordinate system and the angle between the intersection point and the center of the ellipse in the elliptical coordinate system. Based on the angle of the center of each electrode, the angle is decreased and increased sequentially in opposite directions. It is determined whether the accumulated arc length is greater than the set threshold. If so, the accumulation is stopped and the position angle of the left and right boundaries of the electrode is obtained. If not, the angle is decreased and increased again until the condition is met.
