Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a localized measurement system and method for water-bearing porosity and mineralization in rock cores, belonging to the field of rock electrical property testing and analysis technology. Background Technology
[0002] The dielectric constant in the microwave band has been proven to be one of the important parameters characterizing formation properties, playing a crucial role in various applications such as reservoir logging inversion, remote sensing, and geotechnical engineering. As a key rock physics parameter, the dielectric constant has historically been used to quantify water content. Establishing an accurate and robust relationship between the dielectric constant and geophysical parameters is a fundamental prerequisite for dielectric logging inversion and microwave remote sensing data interpretation. The dielectric properties of rock samples can be studied through laboratory or field testing. Rapid testing of the dielectric properties of freshly drilled full-size cores at the well site can obtain key geological information such as water-bearing porosity, pore water salinity, and mud intrusion, closely resembling the original state of the formation.
[0003] Currently, there are various methods for testing the dielectric properties and water content of rocks. For example, CN117571798A discloses "A Method and System for In-situ Acquisition of Rock Water Content Using Frequency Domain Reflectometry," which uses probe reflection technology to monitor the water content of surface rocks in the field. CN114252926A discloses "A Core Dielectric Property Measurement Device," which draws on the design concept of downhole instruments and is applicable to the dielectric measurement of large-sized core samples in laboratory and other field environments. CN116660328A discloses "A Method and Device for Obtaining Rock Volumetric Water Content Through Rock Dielectric Constant," which obtains the dielectric constant and thus the rock volumetric water content by drilling holes in the rock surface. CN109444174A discloses "A High-Frequency Rock Dielectric Constant Measurement Method and Measuring Fixture," which utilizes transmission and reflection characteristics to measure the high-frequency dielectric constant after drilling holes in the core sample. CN105699787A discloses a "Method for Measuring the Dielectric Constant of Coal and Rock Based on Impedance Analyzer," which uses an impedance analyzer and a parallel plate capacitor to measure the dielectric constant of coal mixed with rock. CN1064548 discloses an "Automatic Measurement System for the Dielectric Constant of Rock," which uses a closed resonant cavity as a sensor to achieve the testing of the dielectric constant of liquids loaded in small-sized rock cores and containers.
[0004] The problem with the above-mentioned disclosed technology is that it either requires contact with the rock core for measurement or measurement after the rock core has been damaged (drilling). It cannot achieve localized measurement of axial / radial water content (water porosity) and mineralization of a full-size rock core without contacting or damaging the rock core, nor can it achieve axial localized measurement and radial localized measurement at the same time. Summary of the Invention

The quality factor is determined based on the 3dB frequency range Δf of the amplitude at the resonance frequency point S21. ij-1-3dB and △f ij-2-3dB and resonant frequency f ij-1 and f ij-2 The calculation determines, that is, Q. ij-1 =f ij-1 / △f ij-1-3dB and Q ij-2 =f ij-2 / △f ij-2-3dB .
[0023] The acquisition of the apparent complex permittivity in step (3)① is based on the response curves of the complex permittivity of the sample under two resonant modes of the sensor, where ε * ij-1 =ε' ij-1 +jε” ij-1 and ε * ij-2 =ε' ij-2 +jε” ij-2 The response curve is fitted with an s-order polynomial, where s ≥ 2, as shown in the following equation:

[0025] ε” ij-1 =D0+D1(△1 / Q) ij-1 ) 1 +D2(△1 / Q ij-1 ) 2 +…+D s (△1 / Q ij-1 ) s ,

[0027] ε” ij-2 =F0+F1(△1 / Q) ij-2 ) 1 +F2(△1 / Q ij-2 ) 2 +…+F s (△1 / Q ij-2 ) s ,
[0028] The coefficient matrix of each s-order polynomial is C0 / C1 / C2…C… s D0 / D1 / D2…D s E0 / E1 / E2…E s F0 / F1 / F2…F s The coefficient matrix of the above-mentioned s-order polynomial is obtained by determining the value through electromagnetic field numerical simulation, or by manufacturing a calibration piece with the same diameter as the core using a standard material (such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinyl chloride, silicon, etc.) with known real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant, and then performing s-order polynomial fitting.

The zero-frequency dielectric constant, optical-frequency dielectric constant, and Debye relaxation angular frequency can be established relative to the core temperature T. i For example, ε s =A1+B1×T i ε ∞ =A² + B² × T i τ=A3+B3×T i The linear relationship is obtained by referring to publicly available experimental materials or laboratory-controlled temperature calibration.
[0036] In step (4)②, the effective medium theory model can be a negative refractive index model or a Maxwell-Wagner model, but is not limited to the above models.
[0037] The system for implementing the above-mentioned multi-frequency broadband full-size core water aquifer porosity local measurement method adopts the following technical solution:
[0038] The system includes a core propulsion device, a core diameter measuring device, a temperature recorder, a sensor group, a microwave multiplexer, a microwave scattering parameter sweep frequency measuring device, and a main control computer. The core propulsion device, the core diameter measuring device, and the sensor group are arranged sequentially. The sensor group includes n sensors, where n ≥ 1 (if n ≠ 1, then the n sensors operate at different frequencies). Each sensor is connected to the microwave multiplexer, which is connected to the microwave scattering parameter sweep frequency measuring device. The core propulsion device, the core diameter measuring device, the temperature recorder, the microwave multiplexer, and the microwave scattering parameter sweep frequency measuring device are all connected to the main control computer.
[0039] The core propulsion device is used to push the core along the axial direction in a stepping motion. It can adopt existing technologies, such as the "Core Pushing Device" disclosed in CN213205610U.
[0040] The core diameter measuring device is used to achieve real-time measurement of the core diameter, obtaining the diameter φ at a specific axial position of the core. Existing technologies can be used to measure the diameter of the axial region through optical, ultrasonic, or other physical methods, such as a laser diameter gauge.
[0041] The temperature recorder contacts the core via an external resistance temperature detector (RTD) or thermocouple sensor to measure the core temperature T, or acquires and records the temperature T at a specific axial position of the core in real time via non-contact measurement (infrared, colorimetric, etc.).
[0042] The sensor is an open resonant cavity sensor with a hollow structure. The open resonant cavity sensor is a cylindrical resonant cavity with openings on both bottom surfaces, and it operates simultaneously in both the TM010 mode, which is sensitive to the internal region of the core, and the TM110 mode, which is sensitive to the surface region of the core.
[0043] The sensor has two ports, which are respectively connected to the moving ends of two microwave multiplexing devices (connected via coaxial phase-stable cables); the stationary ends of the two microwave multiplexing devices are respectively connected to the two ports of the microwave scattering parameter scanning measurement device (connected via coaxial phase-stable cables).
[0044] The microwave multiplexing device is a single-pole multi-throw structure, equipped with one fixed end and n free ends. The fixed end connects to only one free end at a time and is isolated from the other free ends. Each free end is connected to one port of a sensor via a coaxial phase-stabilized cable. The free ends of the second microwave multiplexing device are connected to the other ports of the n open resonant cavity sensors via coaxial phase-stabilized cables. The fixed ends of both microwave multiplexing devices are connected to two ports of the microwave scattering parameter sweep frequency measurement device via coaxial phase-stabilized cables.
[0045] The microwave scattering parameter sweep frequency measurement device adopts existing technology and can be a vector network analyzer. It needs to have the ability to acquire the amplitude and phase of forward transmission (S11), forward reflection (S21) or reverse transmission (S12), reverse reflection (S22) in the two-port microwave scattering parameter matrix.
[0046] The core propulsion device pushes a full-size core sequentially through the core diameter measuring device and sensor array. Before entering the sensors, the core diameter is measured by the core diameter measuring device, and the data is transmitted to the computer. Then, the core passes non-contactly through the hollow portion of the sensor. Each resonant cavity sensor can operate in two transverse magnetic modes: TM010 and TM110. A temperature recorder collects and records the core temperature in real time via an external resistance temperature detector (RTD) or thermocouple, or through non-contact temperature measurement. The main control computer can be a programmable logic controller (PLC) to automatically control the open resonant cavity sensors, microwave scattering parameter sweep frequency measuring device, microwave multiplexing device, core propulsion device, and core diameter measuring device. It also collects monitoring data from each device, analyzes and processes the data, and calculates pore water information.
[0047] This invention achieves axial localized measurement of water content (water content porosity) and mineralization in a step-by-step manner through a combination of sensors without contacting or damaging the core. Different sensors test different sensitive areas, establishing a quantitative correlation between water content porosity, mineralization, and sensor response in a fixed axial region of the core, thus achieving radial localized measurement. Finally, through standard materials and artificial core calibration, a quantitative mapping is established between water content porosity, mineralization, etc., and instrument response and apparent dielectric constant of the core, ultimately achieving localized measurement of axial / radial water content (water content porosity) and mineralization in full-size cores.
[0048] During testing, the core is pushed stepwise through various sensors by a propulsion device. Changes in geological parameters such as water-bearing porosity and mineralization of the core cause differences in the sensor resonance parameters, resulting in changes in the resonance frequency and quality factor (Q value) of its two modes, TM010 and TM110. The amplitude and phase information of the transmission and reflection coefficients are obtained by a microwave scattering parameter sweep frequency measurement device. Combined with standard material calibration parts, the system response compensation calibration is completed. By utilizing the differences in electric field distribution and penetration depth of different sensors and different working modes, a quantitative correlation is established between the water-bearing porosity and mineralization of the core in a fixed axial region and the sensor resonance frequency and quality factor (Q value).
[0049] This invention enables localized, step-by-step, fully automated measurement of dielectric properties of full-size core samples, and compensates for core diameter interference. It can meet the needs of full-size core well site analysis, eliminate the influence of mud intrusion, and obtain information on the water-bearing porosity and mineralization of the original formation, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of on-site core analysis.

The sensor group 4 includes multiple open resonant cavity sensors operating at different frequencies. The open resonant cavity sensors have a hollow design, with each sensor having two reserved ports, which are respectively connected to different moving ends of the two microwave multiplexers 5 via coaxial phase-stabilized cables. The two ports of the microwave scattering parameter sweep measurement device 6 are respectively connected to the stationary ends of the two microwave multiplexers 5 via coaxial phase-stabilized cables. The core propulsion device 1 realizes the function of pushing the core along the axial direction in a stepping motion. The core diameter measuring device 2 is used to realize the real-time measurement of the core diameter, which can measure the diameter of the axial region through optical, ultrasonic, or other physical methods to obtain the diameter φ at a specific axial position of the core. Temperature recorder 3 measures the core temperature T by contacting the core with an external resistance temperature detector (RTD) or thermocouple sensor, or by acquiring and recording the temperature T at a specific axial position of the core in real time using non-contact measurement principles such as infrared or colorimetry. Core propulsion device 1, core diameter measuring device 2, temperature recorder 3, microwave multiplexer 5, and microwave scattering parameter sweep frequency measuring device 6 are all connected to the main control computer 7.
[0056] The number of open-cavity sensors can be n (n≥1), which are cylindrical resonant cavities with openings on both bottom surfaces (see...). Figure 1 The sensor is excited by a magnetic loop antenna, which is connected to a coaxial phase-stabilized cable via RF interfaces soldered to both sides of the sensor. It can operate simultaneously in both TM010 and TM110 modes (see [link]). Figure 2 ),in Figure 2 In (a), the electric field energy of the TM010 mode is concentrated in a circular region centered on the core, and is sensitive to the internal region of the core. Figure 2 (b) TM110 converges in two semi-circular regions symmetrical about the center line of the resonant cavity cross section, and is sensitive to the surface region of the core.
[0057] There are two sets of microwave multiplexing devices 5, which are single-pole multi-throw structures. Each set is equipped with one fixed end and n free ends. The fixed end is connected to only one free end at a time and is isolated from the other free ends. The free ends are connected to one port of each of the n open resonant cavity sensors through coaxial phase-stabilized cables. The free ends of the second microwave multiplexing device 5 are connected to the other port of each of the n open resonant cavity sensors through coaxial phase-stabilized cables. The fixed ends of the two sets of microwave multiplexing devices 5 are connected to the two ports of the microwave scattering parameter sweep frequency measurement device 6 through coaxial phase-stabilized cables.
[0058] The number of microwave scattering parameter sweep frequency measurement devices 6 is 1. It needs to be able to acquire the amplitude and phase of forward transmission (S11), forward reflection (S21) or reverse transmission (S12), reverse reflection (S22) in the two-port microwave scattering parameter matrix. It can be a vector network analyzer.
[0059] The full-size core is propelled through the hollow section non-contactly by the core propulsion device 1. Before entering the sensor, the core passes through the core diameter measuring device 2, which is installed in series with the sensor. The main control computer 7 can be a programmable logic controller (PLC) to automatically control the microwave scattering parameter sweep measurement device 6, the microwave multiplexing device 5, the core propulsion device 1, and the core diameter measuring device 2, and to collect monitoring data from each device, analyze and process the data, and calculate pore water information.
[0060] The process of the above system realizing localized measurement of water-bearing porosity in multi-frequency broadband full-size core samples is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps include:
