Description

[0002] Natural radioactive anomalies in engineering geophysical exploration refer to radioactive anomalies formed by radioactive elements naturally present in rock fracture zones, karst zones, rock formations of varying lithology, or near groundwater outcrops.

This method helps engineers understand geological structures and has advantages in oil and rare mineral exploration.

[0003] In actual exploration operations, the working environment of logging instruments begins to become increasingly complex. As the exploration depth increases, the well washing speed and effect begin to decline. The regional material activity in the medium and high temperature exploration zone is greater, making it more likely for mud crusts to appear outside the logging instrument. If there are radioactive substances in the mud crust, the azimuth gamma probe inside the logging instrument will cause false alarms, resulting in engineers' misanalysis of the surrounding environment of the logging instrument (azimuth gamma probe).

[0065] The technical solution in this application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] This application discloses a method for analyzing surrounding environment. Figure 1 In some examples, the surrounding environment analysis method disclosed in this application includes the following steps:

[0067] S101, in response to a received electrical signal, establishing a first fluctuation curve based on the electrical signal on a moving trajectory of the azimuth gamma probe;

[0068] S102, while establishing the first fluctuation curve, synchronously detecting the thickness of the mud crust on the outer wall of the drill bit, and using the mud crust thickness value to correct the first fluctuation curve to obtain a second fluctuation curve;

[0069] S103, determining a boundary surface according to a change in the curvature of the second fluctuation curve, where the number of the boundary surface is at least one;

[0070] Wherein, on a plane perpendicular to the moving track of the azimuth gamma ray probe, a plurality of exploration areas are evenly distributed around the moving track of the azimuth gamma ray probe;

[0071] When interfaces exist in a number of exploration areas greater than or equal to a set number, it is determined that an interface exists at the plane.

[0072] In steps S101 to S103, the received electrical signal is generated by the azimuth gamma probe, and the electrical signal is processed by the processor carried by the azimuth gamma probe itself or the processor working in conjunction with the azimuth gamma probe. The azimuth gamma probe maintains a rotational posture during operation, that is, the azimuth gamma probe collects data in the circumferential direction.

[0073] The way to collect data is that the gamma rays generated in the surrounding environment enter the azimuth gamma probe. After conversion processing, the gamma rays are converted into electrical signals. For the electrical signal at a certain time point, it can be expressed in numerical form, that is, in a certain direction, a curve composed of multiple points can be obtained, such as Figure 2 It should be noted that this curve is generated by fitting the multiple points mentioned above.

[0074] The curve generated by fitting multiple points here is the first fluctuation curve obtained based on the electrical signal in step S101. In the process of establishing the first fluctuation curve, the thickness of the mud shell on the outer wall of the drill bit is synchronously detected and the mud shell thickness value is used to correct the first fluctuation curve to obtain the second fluctuation curve.

[0075] In some possible implementations, the purpose of the correction is to obtain the true shape of the first fluctuation curve. Because the mud crust can cause the intensity of the obtained signal to be smaller than the actual signal intensity, it is necessary to calculate the thickness of the mud crust and then reversely calculate the actual signal intensity based on the obtained signal intensity and the thickness of the mud crust.

[0076] See also Figure 3 Finally, the interface is determined according to the curvature change of the second fluctuation curve. The position of the interface is the area where the slope change on the second fluctuation curve reaches the requirement. The interface is located between the two strata. This method will obtain one interface, or multiple interfaces may be obtained.

[0077] exist Figure 3 In the figure, three interfaces are shown. At the interfaces, the curvature of the second fluctuation curve changes significantly, while in the area between the two interfaces, the corresponding second fluctuation curve part basically remains in a straight line (with slight fluctuations in some areas).

[0078] It should be understood that when the mud crust contains radioactive substances, the azimuth gamma probe will continuously receive signals during operation. Such signals will continuously superimpose on the surrounding environment signals, causing distortion of the surrounding environment signals.

[0079] When the ambient signal is distorted, it will cause anomalies in the subsequent geological structure analysis. For example, during the density analysis process, the calculated density will deviate from the actual density.

[0080] The analysis process of the first fluctuation curve is as follows:

[0081] S201, segmenting the first fluctuation curve to obtain a plurality of first fluctuation curve segments, wherein the time length corresponding to each first fluctuation curve segment is equal;

[0082] S202, analyzing the first fluctuation curve segment, and dividing the first fluctuation curve segment into a normal first fluctuation curve segment and an abnormal first fluctuation curve segment;

[0083] S203, segmenting the first fluctuation curve multiple times and determining an abnormal region on the first fluctuation curve, where the abnormal region exists in an abnormal first fluctuation curve segment greater than or equal to a set number;

[0084] S204: detecting the thickness of the mud crust based on the moving trajectory of the azimuth gamma probe corresponding to the abnormal area.

[0085] In step S201 to step S204, the first fluctuation curve is segmented. Figure 4 As shown, the first fluctuation curve segment is then divided into a normal first fluctuation curve segment and an abnormal first fluctuation curve segment. The segmentation processing method is multiple times. When a part of it is classified into the abnormal first fluctuation curve segment during multiple segmentation processes, this part will be marked as an abnormal area, and then the mud shell thickness detection is performed on the moving trajectory of the azimuth gamma probe corresponding to the abnormal area.

[0086] The advantage of multiple segmentation processing is that it improves the accuracy of the analysis. Because in the actual work process, the time when the mud shell is generated and the thickness of the mud shell are unknown, it is difficult to accurately determine whether the mud shell appears or not. The advantage of using multiple segmentation processing can effectively improve the accuracy of the analysis.

[0087] The specific method of analyzing the first fluctuation curve segment is:

[0088] S301, obtaining a data point group corresponding to a first fluctuation curve segment, the data point group including a plurality of data points;

[0089] S302, determining a fluctuation range of the data point group, where data points greater than or equal to a set ratio fall within the fluctuation range;

[0090] S303, determining the axis of the fluctuation range;

[0091] S304, determining the runout of the axis of the fluctuation range in the sequential sequence;

[0092] S305 , when the amount of jitter of the axis of the fluctuation range is greater than or equal to the allowed value and the cumulative occurrence time greater than or equal to the allowed value is greater than or equal to the allowed time, classify the first fluctuation curve segment as an abnormal first fluctuation curve segment.

[0093] Specifically, as mentioned above, the first fluctuation curve is composed of multiple data points. Therefore, in step S301, refer to Figure 5 , we need to first obtain the data point group corresponding to the first fluctuation curve segment, which includes multiple data points, and then determine the fluctuation range of the data point group. The specific method is to first establish two straight lines parallel to the X-axis in the coordinate system so that data points greater than or equal to a set proportion fall into the fluctuation range. Generally speaking, the set proportion is 97%-99%.

[0094] Then determine the axis of the fluctuation range. The axis of the fluctuation range is the symmetry line of the two straight lines parallel to the X-axis, and the distances from the symmetry line to the two straight lines parallel to the X-axis are equal.

[0095] See also Figure 6 (The jump amount is exaggerated in the figure for clarity), and then the jump amount of the axis of the fluctuation range is determined in the sequential sequence. The sequential sequence here refers to the arrangement order of the first fluctuation curve segment. The judgment condition is: when the jump amount of the axis of the fluctuation range is greater than or equal to the allowed value and the cumulative occurrence time greater than or equal to the allowed value is greater than or equal to the allowed time, the first fluctuation curve segment is divided into an abnormal first fluctuation curve segment.

[0096] This method takes both errors and actual environments into consideration and has higher accuracy.

[0097] It should be understood that when the intensity of radioactivity is repeatedly measured at equal time intervals, with the source intensity and measurement conditions remaining constant, the recorded values ​​will differ each time, fluctuating around a certain value. This phenomenon is called radioactivity fluctuation. It is independent of the measurement conditions and is an objective phenomenon in the microscopic world with a certain regularity. This phenomenon is caused by the independent decay of the nuclei of radioactive elements, and the random order of decay.

[0098] The specific method for detecting the thickness of the mud crust on the outer wall of the drill bit is:

[0099] S401, start the radiation source;

[0100] S402, receiving a signal using a first signal receiving source on the azimuth gamma probe to obtain a first received signal;

[0101] S403, driving the second signal receiving source on the azimuth gamma probe to receive a signal during the movement to obtain a second received signal;

[0102] S404, matching the first received signal with the second received signal according to the relative positions of the first signal receiving source and the second signal receiving source;

[0103] S405, calculating the thickness of the mud crust on the outer wall of the drill bit according to the matched first received signal and the second received signal;

[0104] The strength of the first received signal and the strength of the second received signal are negatively correlated with the thickness of the mud crust on the outer wall of the drill bit.

[0105] In steps S401 to S405, please refer to Figure 7 , the azimuth gamma probe or the radioactive source carried by the logging instrument will be activated to assist in analysis. The radioactive source is generally cesium-137. At this time, the two signal receiving sources (the first signal receiving source and the second signal receiving source) on the azimuth gamma probe will work in conjunction with the radioactive source.

[0106] The first signal receiving source is fixed in position, and the signal it receives is the first received signal. The second signal receiving source is not fixed in position, and receives signals while moving, which is recorded as the second received signal. The first received signal and the second received signal are then matched based on the relative positions of the first and second signal receiving sources.

[0107] Compton scattering is involved here. The gamma signal emitted by the radiation source undergoes Compton scattering in the surrounding environment. The scattered signal is sensed by the first signal receiving source and the second signal receiving source. The signal strength sensed by the first signal receiving source and the second signal receiving source is related to the distance between the first signal receiving source and the second signal receiving source.

[0108] The emission angle of the radiation source is fixed, and the position of the first signal receiving source is fixed. Although the position of the first signal receiving source is in a moving state, it is known. Based on this, the first received signal and the second received signal can be combined to match the first received signal and the second received signal.

[0109] After the first and second received signals are matched, the thickness of the mud crust on the outer wall of the drill bit can be calculated based on the matched first and second received signals. Because the radiation intensity and direction of the radioactive source are known, when the radioactive source is activated without a mud crust on the outer wall of the azimuth gamma ray probe, the signal intensity can be experimentally calculated, and this parameter is a known quantity.

[0110] When the thickness of the mud crust increases, the intensity superposition of the signals will decrease, and the magnitude of the decrease can also be obtained through experiments and is also a known quantity.

[0111] This can be simply summarized as follows: the strength of the first received signal and the strength of the second received signal are negatively correlated with the thickness of the mud crust on the outer wall of the drill bit. The thicker the mud crust is, the lower the strength of the first received signal and the strength of the second received signal are.

[0112] The specific steps of matching the first received signal and the second received signal according to the relative positions of the first signal receiving source and the second signal receiving source are as follows:

[0113] S501, determining the mean strength of a signal received by a first signal receiving source and calculating a first received signal, where the first received signal is the difference between the strength of the signal received by the first signal receiving source and the mean strength;

[0114] S502, calculating a second received signal, where the second received signal is a difference between a signal strength value received by a second signal receiving source and a strength mean;

[0115] S503, calculating a signal strength ratio between the first signal receiving source and the second signal receiving source using the first signal receiving source position, the relative distance between the first signal receiving source position and the second signal receiving source, and the radiation source position; and

[0116] S504, matching the first received signal and the second received signal using a signal strength ratio;

[0117] There are multiple second received signals.

[0118] Specifically, it is necessary to first obtain the first received signal and the second received signal. The first received signal is calculated as follows: the first received signal is the difference between the signal strength value received by the first signal receiving source and the strength mean, and the second received signal is the difference between the signal strength value received by the second signal receiving source and the strength mean, such as Figure 8 shown.

[0119] Then, the signal strength ratio of the first signal receiving source to the second signal receiving source is calculated using the first signal receiving source position, the relative distance between the first signal receiving source position and the second signal receiving source position, and the signal strength ratio is used to match the first received signal and the second received signal.

[0120] The signal strength is positively correlated with the distance value.

[0121] In some possible implementations, when the strength values ​​of any two second received signals and the ratio of the strengths of the two second received signals are uncorrelated, the average strength of the received signal of the first signal receiving source is adjusted within an allowable range so that the angle value of any two second received signals and the ratio of the strengths of the two second received signals are positively correlated or negatively correlated.

[0122] Because sampling error also needs to be considered here, the sampling error can be eliminated by adjusting the mean value of the strength of the signal received by the first signal receiving source within an allowable range.

[0123] Furthermore, the following steps are added:

[0124] Calculating the increase and decrease amplitudes of the first received signal and the second received signal;

[0125] The increase or decrease amplitude is used to determine whether there are radioactive elements in the mud crust. When radioactive elements are present in the mud crust, the increase or decrease amplitude is used to correct the thickness of the mud crust.

[0126] The reason for calculating the increase and decrease is that when radioactive elements exist in the mud crust, the intensity of the received signals (the first received signal and the second received signal) will be higher than the actual intensity of the signals (the first received signal and the second received signal).

[0127] The method for determining the increase or decrease range is to calculate from the time when the azimuth gamma probe (logging instrument) starts working. The specific calculation method is to start counting the amount of vibration of the axis of the fluctuation range at the starting time point of the first fluctuation curve.

[0128] When mud crust begins to appear, the fluctuation amount of the axis of the fluctuation range will develop in the negative direction and then reach a stable period; when mud crust begins to appear and radioactive elements exist in the mud crust, the fluctuation amount of the axis of the fluctuation range will develop in the positive or negative direction, which mainly depends on the thickness of the mud crust and the radioactive elements, and then reach a stable period.

[0129] Of course, it is possible that the weakening of gamma rays by the thickness of the mud shell is exactly equal to the strengthening of gamma rays by the radioactive elements in the mud shell, but this situation can be ignored. On the one hand, the probability of this situation is extremely low. On the other hand, this situation is equivalent to the absence of a mud shell on the outer wall of the drill bit or the increase in the thickness of the mud shell being offset.
