Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of oil and gas exploration, and in particular relates to an aquifer identification system and method based on infrared spectrum gas logging. Background Art

[0002] During the oil and gas exploration process, drilling fluid is injected from the middle of the drill pipe, reaches the drill bit at the bottom of the well, and then returns to the ground from between the drill pipe and the casing. The drill bit drills water, oil, gas, etc. in the formation, which penetrate into the drilling fluid due to the pressure of the formation and then pass to the ground. Gas logging technology identifies reservoir properties by analyzing the concentration of each component of the wellhead gas in the drilling fluid, which is the key to discovering and evaluating oil and gas resources. With the development and utilization of emerging oil and gas resources such as offshore oil fields and shale oil and gas, the difficulty and complexity of oil and gas exploration are increasing. Factors such as uneven distribution of oil and gas and complex fluid properties make it difficult to identify aquifers. The low compliance rate of aquifer identification will affect the oil and gas evaluation of some well sections. If a certain formation has a high water content, even if there is oil, a large amount of water will be produced during the exploitation process, which will seriously affect oil production. Therefore, the identification of aquifers is of great significance for evaluating reservoir properties, determining subsequent drilling methods, and ensuring oil and gas quality.

[0003] At present, the identification of aquifers in the process of oil and gas exploration at home and abroad is mainly based on geochemical methods such as quantitative fluorescence and nuclear magnetic resonance and logging data methods such as resistivity curve change characteristics. However, under conditions such as light oil reservoirs, the fluorescence characteristics are not obvious, nuclear magnetic resonance can only identify cracks and holes, and the resistivity curve changes are not obvious under conditions of heterogeneity and low porosity and permeability, low resistivity oil and gas reservoirs. These have greatly limited its application in aquifer identification, resulting in a low aquifer identification compliance rate. At present, a universal, effective and accurate aquifer identification method has not yet been formed.

[0004] Patent CN201510672417.7 discloses a comprehensive logging system and method for oil and gas exploration wells. The instrument analyzes the wellhead gas components of oil and gas exploration well gas logging based on infrared spectroscopy. Usually, in the process of infrared spectroscopy logging, air is used as the background gas and wellhead gas is used as the gas to be analyzed. In recent years, infrared spectroscopy analysis technology has been widely used in gas logging for oil and gas exploration due to its advantages of fast, accurate and safe. In the wellhead gas infrared spectrum obtained by the instrument, the water vapor absorption peaks of aquifers and non-aquifers show significant differences.

[0005] The main components in wellhead gas such as hydrocarbon gas have similar molecular structures, and their infrared spectra overlap seriously, which affects the analysis of water vapor. Therefore, accurate analysis of each component in wellhead gas is crucial. Patent CN201110355413.8 discloses a multi-component gas Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy online analysis filtering method, which combines the change in the value of the target component spectral line, the sensitivity, selectivity and noise level of the target component spectral line to other components, and sets the concentration change range, thereby constraining the value range of the analysis result, reducing the noise level while retaining the rapidly changing concentration information in the continuous analysis results of each component gas. The study "Optimization of Savitzky-Golay Filter Parameters and Its Application in Fourier Transform Infrared Gas Spectrum Data Smoothing Preprocessing" published by Tang Xiaojun et al. in 2016 achieved smoothing and denoising of infrared spectral data, further improving the accuracy of spectral gas quantitative analysis. Patent CN201010268039.3 discloses a Fourier transform infrared spectrum distortion identification and processing method, which divides the spectrum into sensitive and non-sensitive segments and uses spectrum rotation and translation methods to correct the baseline drift in the spectrum. The airPLS method proposed by Liang Yizeng, Zhang Zhimin and others in 2010 is widely used in baseline correction of spectral signals (Baseline correction using adaptive iteratively reweightedpenalized least squares). Patent CN201210076501.9 discloses an improved TR multi-component gas Fourier transform infrared spectrum characteristic variable extraction method, which improves the accuracy of multi-component gas analysis results. Patent CN201010270822.3 discloses a multi-component gas spectrum quantitative analysis calibration method based on forward and inverse models, which greatly improves the efficiency of analysis by extracting characteristic variables, and uses BP / RBF neural network to establish a quantitative analysis model for multi-component gas. Patent CN201210076502.3 discloses a multi-analysis model information fusion method for Fourier transform spectral analysis of multi-component gases, which combines partial least squares regression and weighted average methods to establish a quantitative analysis model for multi-component gases, thus achieving accurate quantitative analysis of multi-component gases. These methods and techniques provide an important basis for the acquisition and analysis of water vapor absorption characteristics of the present invention.

[0006] The results of the "Method for Identifying Water Content in Archean Buried Hill Reservoirs of Bozhong 26-6 Structure" published by Guo Mingyu et al. in 2023 show that the directions of water vapor absorption peaks in infrared spectra of oil layers and water layers are opposite. In fact, the water in the strata of offshore oil fields usually has a high salt content. After infiltrating into the drilling fluid, the water evaporation rate of the drilling fluid is low, which makes the water vapor content in the wellhead gas separated from the drilling fluid lower than the water content in the air, resulting in the upward water vapor absorption peak of the wellhead gas infrared absorption spectrum (transmittance) of the water layer gas logging. After drilling into the fresh water layer during the exploration process, due to the infiltration of fresh water into the drilling fluid, after this section of drilling fluid is transferred to the wellhead, the water content of the wellhead gas separated from the drilling fluid is higher than the water content of the air, making the water vapor absorption peak of the wellhead gas infrared absorption spectrum (transmittance) downward. There is a high correlation between the water vapor absorption peak of the wellhead gas and whether the reservoir contains water. The water content of the reservoir can be effectively identified based on the characteristics and change laws of the water vapor absorption peak of the wellhead gas infrared spectrum. This new aquifer identification method based on wellhead gas infrared spectrum can effectively avoid the problem of low aquifer identification compliance rate caused by complex conditions such as heterogeneity, low porosity and permeability, and low resistivity oil and gas reservoirs. It only relies on infrared spectrum gas logging spectra, without adding additional test systems and data, and provides a new method for aquifer identification. This method is of great significance for improving the aquifer identification compliance rate, ensuring oil and gas quality, and optimizing exploration decisions. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problems of low identification conformity rate and low versatility of existing aquifer identification methods, and to provide an aquifer identification system and method based on infrared spectroscopy gas logging.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that the host computer analyzes the infrared spectrum of the wellhead gas according to the received data, and the specific method for obtaining the concentration of each component is as follows: The received data is smoothed, de-noised, baseline corrected, feature screened and quantitatively analyzed to obtain the concentration of each component; Continuous convergence constraint analysis or Savitzky-Golay filter is used for smoothing and denoising to eliminate high-frequency noise in the in-situ spectrum. Segment ratio correction or adaptive iterative reweighted penalized least squares (airPLS) is used for baseline correction to eliminate baseline drift. Tikhonov regularization or forward and inverse model methods are used for feature screening to improve modeling accuracy and efficiency and eliminate cross-influence between different components. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) or neural network (BP neural network, RBF neural network) is used for quantitative analysis to model and obtain the concentration of each component.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that the water vapor absorption peak characteristic is located at 3715cm -1 Up to 3440cm -1 and 2021cm -1 Up to 1600cm -1 range to avoid interference from alkanes, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other gases as much as possible; according to the superposition of spectra, in the characteristic band of water vapor absorption, the original wellhead gas infrared spectrum is used to obtain the i Transmittance t Ri Subtract the first j The gas wave number i The transmittance at t Dji The original water vapor absorption characteristic transmittance with the interference of other components eliminated is obtained t i , in order to further eliminate the interference of 7 components of alkanes, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide on water vapor analysis, the calculation formula is:

Furthermore, for an aquifer, if the directional characteristic factor F 3 is greater than 0.5, then the aquifer is a saline layer. If the directional characteristic factor F 3 is less than -0.5, then the aquifer is freshwater. F3 is between -0.5 and 0.5, then rescan the spectrum and identify it.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In the conventional identification of water layers in oil and gas exploration, the present invention adopts infrared spectroscopy instead of gas chromatography to analyze the wellhead gas released from the drilling fluid, which has the advantages of being fast, safe, sensitive and easy to maintain.

[0023] In order to further understand the content of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit it.

[0026] The infrared spectrum gas logging unit includes a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, a measuring gas chamber, a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a core controller, a data transmission device and an uninterruptible power supply; Fourier transform infrared spectrometer is used to scan the infrared spectrum of wellhead gas sample; The measuring gas chamber is used to collect gas samples at the wellhead; Humidity, temperature and pressure sensors to measure the humidity, temperature and pressure of the background gas; The core controller is used to collect humidity, temperature, and pressure data; The data transmission device is used to transmit humidity, temperature and pressure data to the host computer; UPS is used to ensure that the power supply to various parts of the system will not be suddenly interrupted.

[0027] See also Figure 2 The measuring air chamber includes an air chamber 13, an infrared window is arranged on the air chamber 13, the Fourier transform infrared spectrometer points to the infrared window, an air chamber air inlet 3, an air chamber air outlet 4 and an air pressure controller 12 are opened on the air chamber 13, a three-way solenoid valve 5 is arranged on the air chamber air inlet 3, a heater 11 is wrapped around the air chamber 13, a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor are arranged inside the air chamber 13, and a humidity sensor is arranged on the three-way solenoid valve 5; two infrared windows are arranged on the air chamber 13, namely, a first infrared window 1 and a second infrared window 2, and the first infrared window 1 and the second infrared window 2 are arranged opposite to each other. The first air inlet 6 of the three-way solenoid valve 5 is connected to the air end, the second air inlet 7 is connected to the degasser end, and the air outlet 8 is connected to the air chamber 13. The humidity sensor is arranged at the first air inlet 6, and the solenoid valve coil 9 of the three-way solenoid valve 5 is connected to the host computer. The heater 11 is connected to the constant temperature controller 10, and the constant temperature controller 10 is used to control the temperature of the heater 11.

[0028] The host computer sets the scanning parameters of the spectrometer, controls the three-way solenoid valve 5 of the measuring gas chamber to switch between air (background gas) and wellhead gas samples in turn, and controls the spectrometer to scan the background spectrum and the wellhead gas sample spectrum in turn. The detection results of the humidity, temperature, and pressure sensors are transmitted to the host computer via the core controller and the data transmission device. The UPS ensures that the power supply of each part of the system will not be suddenly interrupted.

The threshold, fluctuation, composite, and directional characteristic factors are calculated based on the characteristics of the water vapor absorption peak, and the water layer identification results are obtained.

[0029] The process of the new aquifer identification method based on infrared spectroscopy gas logging is as follows: Figure 3 As shown. After the Fourier transform infrared spectrometer scans and obtains the in-situ infrared spectrum of the wellhead gas, the spectral analysis software in the host computer preprocesses the in-situ infrared spectrum of the wellhead gas. The preprocessing includes two steps: smoothing denoising and baseline correction. Smoothing denoising uses continuous convergence constraint analysis or Savitzky-Golay filter to eliminate high-frequency noise in the in-situ spectrum; the baseline correction uses segmented ratio correction or adaptive iterative reweighted penalty least squares to eliminate baseline drift; the feature screening uses Tikhonov regularization or forward and inverse model methods to improve modeling accuracy and efficiency and eliminate cross-influences between different components; the quantitative analysis uses partial least squares regression or neural network for modeling to obtain the concentration of each component. After preprocessing, the high-frequency noise of the wellhead gas infrared spectrum is effectively suppressed and the baseline drift is eliminated. The baseline of the absorption spectrum is basically 0, and the baseline of the transmission spectrum is basically 1.

If the composite characteristic factor F S If the composite characteristic factor is greater than the threshold value of 0.8, the well section is judged to be an aquifer. F SIf it is less than the threshold value of 0.8, the well section is judged as a non-aquifer.

[0039] For an aquifer, if the directional characteristic factor F 3 is less than -0.5, then the aquifer is freshwater. F 3 is greater than 0.5, then the aquifer is a saline layer. If the directional characteristic factor F 3 is between -0.5 and 0.5, then rescan the infrared spectrum of the wellhead gas and identify it again.

[0040] The standard concentration of water vapor is at 3997cm -1 Up to 3440cm -1 and 2021cm -1 Up to 1215cm -1 The infrared transmission spectra in the two ranges are as follows Figure 4 As shown. The concentrations of water vapor are 0.05% and 0.1% respectively. The pressure is 1atm, the temperature is 300K, the optical path is 80cm, and the fitting line type is the Voigt line type. The absorption peak of water vapor presents multiple sharp absorption peaks within the two characteristic bands, and P branches and R branches appear. The height of the absorption peak is related to the water vapor concentration. The higher the water vapor concentration, the stronger the absorption and the lower the transmittance.

[0041] The infrared transmission spectra of the wellhead gas in the water vapor characteristic band of the aquifer and non-aquifer at the actual logging site are as follows: Figure 5 As shown. The aquifer is a saltwater layer from an offshore oil field. Within the two characteristic ranges, the water vapor absorption peak of the transmission spectrum of the aquifer is upward, showing a peak, and the transmittance is greater than 1; the water vapor absorption peak of the transmission spectrum of the non-aquifer is downward, showing a peak valley, and the transmittance is less than 1. The water vapor absorption peaks between different aquifers are very different, while the water vapor absorption peaks between different non-aquifers are relatively stable and close to overlapping. At the same time, the water vapor absorption peak height of the aquifer is higher than that of the non-aquifer. In the infrared spectrum of the wellhead gas at the actual logging site, the water vapor absorption peaks of the aquifer and the non-aquifer show significant differences.
