Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of deep-sea oil and gas reservoir exploration and development, and specifically relates to a method and system for calculating effective elastic parameters of multi-mineral component rocks. Background Art
[0002] In the process of oil and gas reservoir exploration and development, the study of geophysical elastic properties is crucial for the prediction of reservoir physical properties, pore characteristics evaluation and prediction of oil and gas properties. The calculation of reservoir rock elastic parameters is an important part of elastic property research. For sedimentary rocks with the same sedimentary environment, the pore structure and mineral composition of the rocks also show significant differences, which leads to different elastic properties of the rocks. In order to better use geophysical methods to interpret the physical properties of reservoir rocks, it is of great significance to calculate the elastic parameters of multi-mineral rock components.
[0003] The physical properties of rocks are determined by a variety of factors inherent in the rocks themselves. Exploring these properties is important for oil and gas exploration and development. Digital core technology is based on digitized core information and can quantify the pore structure and component information of rocks at the pore scale. It is an effective method for studying the geophysical properties of reservoir rocks. Elastic modulus and wave velocity are important parameters for characterizing elastic properties. The traditional method is to obtain the elastic parameters of rocks through physical experimental tests. The study of rock elastic properties based on digital cores can quantify the relationship between elastic properties and reservoir properties at the microscopic scale, making up for the inability of rock physics experiments to explore microscopic influencing factors.
[0004] Rock elastic properties play an important role in reservoir geological characteristics. The analysis of these properties is usually based on rock physics experiments. Through rock physics experiments, the elastic parameters of reservoir rocks are obtained, and the relationship model between reservoir physical properties and elastic parameters is analyzed, and then the physical properties of oil and gas reservoirs are predicted using the relationship model.
[0005] In the rock physics experiment test, when the rock is brittle or has complex composition, such conventional physical experiments cannot meet the actual requirements; the elastic modulus obtained from the rock physics experiment is the comprehensive result of the entire core test, and it is difficult to analyze the degree and law of influence of various factors on the elastic properties of the rock, making it impossible to deeply understand the elastic properties of the rock. In the numerical simulation of elastic properties based on digital cores, the traditional method sets the solid matrix of the digital core as a single mineral. However, the actual rock usually contains multiple mineral components, which leads to differences between the single mineral component and the actual rock, resulting in inaccurate calculated elastic parameters, and it is impossible to effectively study the elastic properties of the actual rock. It is very necessary to study the elastic properties of multiple mineral components of rocks. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0067] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0068] Embodiment 1
[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for calculating effective elastic parameters of multi-mineral component rocks, comprising the following steps:
[0070] S1. Type and content of predetermined multi-mineral components;
[0071] S2. Based on the types and contents of multi-mineral components, a digital core model of the parameter changes of multi-mineral components is constructed using a process method;
[0072] S3. Based on the elastic finite element method, numerical simulation of the digital core model with changes in multi-mineral component parameters is performed;
[0073] S4. Calculate the effective elastic parameters of the digital core based on the simulation results.
[0074] S5. Analyze the relationship between multiple mineral components and elastic parameters.
[0075] In this embodiment, S1, the types and contents of multiple mineral components in digital core modeling are set according to the research objectives:
[0076] In the process of calculating rock elastic parameters based on digital core technology, the first step is to set the type and content of multi-mineral components in the digital core, which has an important impact on the calculated digital core parameters. Traditional digital core modeling usually assumes that the digital core is composed of a solid matrix and pore space, and the solid matrix is composed of a single component mineral, which is significantly different from the mineral composition of the actual rock. Therefore, there is a significant error between the calculated elastic parameters and the actual rock elastic parameters. In terms of digital core modeling, this method constructs a multi-mineral component digital core that is closer to the actual rock mineral composition, and uses numerical methods to reconstruct the digital core, which can achieve rock skeleton simulation containing multiple mineral types and mineral content changes. According to the research purpose and research needs, first set the type of rock to be studied, set the type of minerals in the rock according to the properties of the rock, and quantitatively change the content of different minerals. For example, the main mineral types in sandstone include quartz, feldspar, mica, chlorite, rock fragments, etc. According to the research purpose, set the rock type in advance, and set the type and content changes of minerals in this type of rock, so as to provide basic physical property parameters for multi-mineral component digital core modeling.
[0077] In this embodiment, S2, the process method is a specific method in the digital core technology, which is used to realize multi-mineral component three-dimensional digital core modeling:
[0078] The process method is an effective method for simulating and establishing digital cores. This method simulates the formation process of rocks to establish digital cores with quantitative changes in pore structure and mineral components, providing a model basis for elastic parameter calculation. The process method mainly includes three main steps: sedimentation process, compaction process and diagenesis process. By using the MATLAB programming language to simulate these processes, a digital core model with changes in multi-mineral component parameters is established. The following introduces the sedimentation process, compaction process and diagenesis process of digital cores constructed by the process method. The sedimentation process simulates the deposition of mineral particles in a complex geological environment. First, the range of deposition is set, and mineral particles can only be deposited in this area. At the same time, the size distribution, type and content of mineral particles need to be set. This information can be obtained by scanning real rock samples, or it can be customized according to the research objectives. For example, the type and content of multi-mineral particles are pre-set in step S1 according to the research objectives, and the particle shape can be set as regular spheres or irregular shapes. Then the deposition particles begin to deposit, one after another, and the next particle deposition begins only after the previous particle deposition is stable. It is assumed that the current deposition particle satisfies the maximum direction of global gravitational potential energy, that is, the most stable deposition, until all deposition particles complete the deposition process. This process is implemented using the MATLAB programming language.
[0079] The compaction process simulates the compaction of deposited particles under the gravity of the overlying strata. Due to the influence of the gravity of the overlying strata, all deposited particles will be subject to the vertical downward gravity, which will cause downward compaction, resulting in a reduction in pore space and a closer interaction between particles. Due to the different thicknesses of the overlying strata, the compaction effect will also be different. The compaction effect of the overlying strata is simulated by performing different degrees of compaction on all deposited particles. This process is implemented in the MATLAB programming language. The control of the compaction amount of different particles is achieved according to the vertical coordinate position of each particle. The process is described by the formula:
[0080] (1)
[0081] In the formula, Z o represents the initial vertical position of the particle center, Z p It indicates the vertical position of the center of the particle after compaction, and λ indicates the set compaction amount to control the compaction density.
[0082] The diagenesis process simulates a series of physical, chemical and biological changes in mineral particles after compaction and stabilization. This process affects the type and content of mineral components in the rock, as well as the changes in the pore structure of the rock. The cementation process is an important process in the diagenesis process. By simulating the formation process of cements of different components and shapes on the surface of mineral particles, the cementation of rocks is simulated. This process is implemented using the MATLAB nominal language. In the cementation process, considering the size of the particles and the growth rate in different directions, it can be described by the formula:
[0083] (2)
[0084] Where ∆(r) represents the thickness of cement formed on the particle surface in the r direction, represents the average radius of the particles, R0 represents the initial radius of a particle, l(r) represents the distance from the surface of a mineral particle to the surface of another mineral particle along the r direction, β represents the parameter controlling the cementation type, and α represents the parameter affecting the particle radius.
[0085] According to the set mineral type, the mineral component type of the particles to be deposited is pre-set, and according to the set content of different mineral components, the number of particles to be deposited is pre-set, for example, different proportions of particles are set to represent quartz, feldspar and rock fragments respectively. Then, the process method is used to construct a multi-component mineral three-dimensional digital core, for example Figure 2 The three-dimensional digital core model of different mineral types and contents is displayed. Different gray values represent different mineral types, and the proportion of different gray values represents the content changes of different mineral components. A digital core model of multi-mineral component parameter changes is constructed based on the process method.
[0086] In this embodiment, S3, numerical simulation of elastic finite element method based on digital core is carried out:
[0087] The finite element method is a method for numerically calculating the elastic properties of three-dimensional digital images. Based on the three-dimensional digital core model reconstructed by the process method, the strain is applied to the generated digital rock model, and the stress-strain effect of the rock is simulated by using the finite element method to calculate the elastic modulus parameters.
[0088] The digital core model consists of voxels with different phases, including pore space and solid matrix with different mineral components. In the numerical calculation, each voxel is regarded as a trilinear unit, so the entire digital core model can be regarded as a finite element mesh. For each voxel, its elastic energy E obeys the variational principle and can be expressed as:
[0089] (3)
[0090] In the formula, ε pq represents the strain tensor, C pqrsrepresents the elastic modulus tensor, the subscripts r and s represent the grid node positions, the subscripts p and q represent the digital core coordinate positions, and d 3 r represents triple integration.
[0091] The elastic modulus tensor gives the relationship between stress and strain, which is linked to each other by Hooke's law. The strain at a voxel in the digital core is equal to the displacement gradient, which indicates how fast the displacement u changes in the material. Assuming linear interpolation of the elastic displacements of the mesh nodes and summing over repeated subscripts, the elastic energy using periodic boundary conditions can be rewritten as:
[0092] (4)
[0093] In the formula, u i and u j represents the elastic displacement of the mesh node, b i represents the linear term matrix, c represents the constant term, D ij represents the stiffness matrix.
[0094] The above elastic energy equation is established for each voxel, and the gradient of the total energy with respect to the elastic displacement of the node is calculated and minimized using the fast conjugate gradient method. After obtaining the displacement, the average stress and strain of the entire three-dimensional digital core are calculated. Then, the effective elastic modulus of the entire digital core model is derived by averaging the calculated physical fields.
[0095] In this embodiment, S4, calculating the effective elastic parameters of the digital core according to the simulation results:
[0096] The finite element method is used to calculate the effective elastic parameters of the digital core model, and the code of this method is written in Fortran. In order to calculate the effective elastic parameters of the digital core model, the model needs to be divided into non-overlapping finite element units, each voxel is set as a basic unit, and periodic boundary conditions are adopted. In addition, macroscopic strains are applied in the principal stress direction and the shear stress direction. The finite element method is used to numerically simulate the elastic properties of the digital core. The elastic potential energy of the digital core is obtained by calculating the elastic displacement vector of each node. The finite element method can be used to calculate stresses and strains in six directions. For the isotropic case, the bulk modulus K and shear modulus µ can be obtained by the following equations:
[0097] (5)
[0098] (6)
[0099] In the formula, σ xx , σ yy , σ zz , σ xy , σ xz, σ yz Represents stress in 6 directions; ε xx , ε yy , ε zz , ε xy , ε xz , ε yz Represents strain in 6 directions.
[0100] Using the calculated bulk modulus and shear modulus, the longitudinal wave velocity V of the 3D digital core p and shear wave velocity V s It can be calculated by the following formula:
[0101] (7)
[0102] (8)
[0103] Where ρ represents the average density of the digital core, and the average density can be obtained by calculating the density of each mineral component and multiplying it by the corresponding volume fraction.
[0104] In this embodiment, S5, analyzing the relationship between multiple mineral components and elastic parameters:
[0105] Based on this method, the elastic parameters of multi-mineral rock are calculated, and the bulk modulus and shear modulus of the digital core model are calculated using Formula 3 and Formula 4. The variation of the elastic modulus with the mineral composition is analyzed, such as Figure 3 The variation of the elastic modulus and quartz content of the digital core model is shown. The variation of the elastic modulus of rock is affected by the combined effects of the types and contents of multiple mineral components. For example, sandstone is usually composed of mineral components such as feldspar, quartz and rock fragments. These minerals have different elastic properties and have different effects on the elastic properties of rocks. The bulk modulus of quartz and feldspar minerals is higher, while the bulk modulus of rock fragments is lower. The shear modulus of quartz is higher, followed by the shear modulus of feldspar, and the shear modulus of rock fragments is the smallest. Figure 3 It can be seen that with the increase of quartz content, both bulk modulus and shear modulus gradually increase, the change trend is approximately linear, and the increase of shear modulus is greater than that of bulk modulus. These changes reflect the influence of multi-component mineral type and content changes on rock elastic parameters. The wave velocity of the multi-mineral component digital core model is calculated using formula 5 and formula 6. Figure 4 The relationship between wave velocity and quartz content is shown. It can be seen from the figure that with the increase of quartz content, both the longitudinal wave velocity and the shear wave velocity gradually increase and change approximately linearly. This method constructs a three-dimensional digital core with multiple mineral components based on digital core technology, and explores the influence of multiple mineral components on elastic parameters through numerical simulation, providing theoretical data for geophysical interpretation of oil and gas reservoir exploration and development.
[0106] In this embodiment, the technology is widely used in geophysical exploration and development of oil and gas, and is of great significance in the fine interpretation of reservoir physical properties by geophysical logging. 1. In terms of the characterization of multi-mineral components in reservoirs, this method can establish a three-dimensional digital core model with controllable mineral types and contents based on digital core technology, so as to better characterize the multi-mineral component characteristics of actual rocks. 2. In terms of seismic interpretation of oil and gas reservoirs, this method can analyze the changing laws of multi-mineral components and elastic parameters, and provide data support for the accurate interpretation of reservoir physical properties. 3. Physical experiments consume a lot of manpower and material resources. This method is based on digital core technology and conducts rock physics numerical simulation research, which can obtain a wider range of rock physical parameter changes and provide technical support for the interpretation of complex oil and gas reservoirs.
