Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and medium for predicting ground stress in a complex fault zone. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing exploration and development of oil and gas, ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs have attracted considerable attention due to their enormous potential reserves. However, these reservoirs are often accompanied by complex fault zones and multi-stage strike-slip faults, making it difficult to accurately characterize the geological and mechanical characteristics of the reservoirs. Traditional rock mechanics parameter modeling relies primarily on well logging and seismic data. However, due to the lack of well logging curves, complex fault zone structures, and limited measured formation pressure and stress data, existing geostress prediction methods have low accuracy when applied to ultra-deep reservoirs and cannot meet the needs of wellbore stability prediction and reservoir reconstruction design.
[0003] Existing geostress prediction methods primarily rely on the use of well logging data or seismic inversion data alone. These methods often suffer from insufficient accuracy when dealing with complex geological conditions, such as fault zones and ultra-deep wells. Well logging data can be distorted by conditions such as borehole expansion and data loss, resulting in reduced accuracy in geostress prediction. Furthermore, while seismic inversion technology can provide three-dimensional geostress distribution information, it is limited by its resolution and data integration capabilities, making it difficult to accurately describe the local stress field.

[0050] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, a specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for predicting ground stress in a complex fault zone, comprising:
[0052] S101. Calculate the rock physical parameters of the complex fault zone according to the rock physical parameter calculation formula. It should be noted that, in a certain embodiment, the rock physical parameters include: total density of the rock, longitudinal wave velocity, and shear wave velocity.
[0053] The total density of the rock is calculated based on the mineral composition. , the formula is as follows:
[0054] ,
[0055] in Indicates the Density of the mineral; Indicates the Volume fraction of the minerals; represents the volume fraction of pore fluid; Indicates porosity.
[0056] The longitudinal wave velocity and the shear wave velocity are calculated by first calculating the bulk modulus and the shear modulus of the rock, and then calculating the longitudinal wave velocity and the shear wave velocity using the elastic modulus of the rock.
[0057] According to the effective medium theory of mixed media, such as the Chladni-Hamilton (Kuster-Toksöz) model, the elastic modulus of rock can be expressed as a combination of minerals and pore fluids. First, calculate the bulk modulus of rock and shear modulus :
[0058] ,
[0059] ,
[0060] in: represents the bulk modulus and shear modulus of dry rock; 、 It represents the bulk modulus and shear modulus of the mineral, which can be obtained by weighted average of the mineral components; 、 represents the bulk modulus and shear modulus of the pore fluid (for fluid, ).
[0061] Then, the elastic modulus of rock is used to calculate and :
[0062] ,
[0063] ,
[0064] S102. Calculate the rock mechanical parameters of the complex fault zone according to the rock mechanical parameter calculation formula; it should be noted that, in a certain embodiment, the rock mechanical parameters are specifically calculated Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio, shear modulus and bulk modulus, Lame constant and rock strength parameters.
[0065] (a) Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio Calculation
[0066] Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio can be calculated from the bulk modulus and shear modulus:
[0067] ,
[0068] ,
[0069] The derivation process is based on the elastic mechanics relationship:
[0070] ,
[0071] ,
[0072] (b) Shear modulus and bulk modulus Calculation, known and , calculated directly from the above
[0073] (c) Lamé constant calculate:
[0074] ,
[0075] (d) Rock strength parameters, specifically the rock compressive strength is calculated by the rock tensile strength, and the rock compressive strength is calculated according to the Hooke-Brown criterion. Determine the Hooke-Brown parameter based on lithology , combined with the minimum principal stress and the tensile strength of rock , calculate the compressive strength of rock , the specific formula is as follows:
[0076] ,
[0077] S103. Reconstruct the logging curves of the complex fault zone to obtain reconstructed logging curves. The logging curves include density curves and shear wave time difference curves. The density curve is reconstructed using mineral composition and porosity. Due to the high cost or missing data of shear wave logging, other logging curves can be used for prediction.
[0078] S104: Predicting the in-situ stress of a complex fault zone using a three-dimensional in-situ stress model in combination with the reconstructed well logging curve, the rock mechanical parameters, and the rock physical parameters. The in-situ stress of a complex fault zone includes horizontal stress, vertical stress, and tectonic stress of the wellbore.
[0079] It should be noted that, in a certain embodiment, establishing a geostress model, calculating vertical geostress and horizontal geostress, and estimating tectonic stress specifically include:
[0080] Vertical geostress , the vertical in-situ stress is usually equal to the weight of the overlying rock layer of the formation, which can be calculated by density integration:
[0081] ,
[0082] in: Indicates depth; Indicates depth The density at Represents the acceleration due to gravity.
[0083] The vertical ground stress diagram is as follows Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the stress changes from high to low from top to bottom, showing a typical vertical stress gradient. This distribution may be due to the stress increase caused by the weight of the material.
[0084] The stress distribution in the figure is relatively uniform, with no obvious stress concentration or mutation areas, indicating that the vertical stress field in this area is relatively stable.
[0085] Horizontal ground stress and , the calculation of horizontal ground stress can adopt the plane strain model of elastic mechanics:
[0086] ,
[0087]
[0088] in : is the maximum horizontal principal stress; is the minimum horizontal principal stress; is Poisson's ratio; is the Biot poroelastic coefficient, i.e., the rock elastic parameter; is the pore pressure; , is the tectonic stress increment.
[0089] Schematic diagram of horizontal ground stress distribution, such as Figure 7As shown, stress increases horizontally from left to right, indicating a horizontal stress gradient. Vertical stress distribution is relatively uniform, with no significant vertical variation, indicating that stress is primarily influenced by horizontal position. This horizontal stress distribution diagram reveals stress variations at different horizontal locations. The gradual increase in stress from left to right may reflect a tendency for lateral stress concentration in the material or formation in this area. This diagram can be used to analyze the impact of horizontal stress on the wellbore or formation, particularly in stability assessments of high-stress areas.
[0090] The estimation of tectonic stress may include: using seismic data and fault slip trends in combination with finite element simulation to estimate tectonic stress increment. In one embodiment, the estimation of tectonic stress may specifically include:
[0091] Through multi-angle seismic data, the longitudinal wave impedance, shear wave impedance, and density are obtained by inversion.
[0092] 1. Data collection and preprocessing:
[0093] Seismic data and fault slip trend data are the basis for estimating tectonic stress increments. The specific steps include:
[0094] Seismic data: Extract information such as fault location, orientation, and dip from seismic data. This data helps determine the geometry and distribution of faults.
[0095] Fault slip trend: The slip trend of a fault can usually be obtained through seismic analysis, including information such as slip direction and slip rate. These parameters help determine the direction and magnitude of stress release on the fault under tectonic stress fields.
[0096] 2. Establish a 3D geological model:
[0097] Based on seismic data and fault geometry, a 3D geological model is constructed using geological modeling software (such as Petrel, GOCAD, etc.), including:
[0098] Stratigraphic boundaries: Different strata are divided based on seismic reflection layers.
[0099] Fault structure: The 3D geometry of the fault is embedded into the geological model to ensure that the fault orientation, dip, and displacement are consistent with the actual seismic data.
[0100] 3. Stress boundary conditions and initial tectonic stress field:
[0101] Based on the 3D geological model, the boundary conditions and initial tectonic stress field of the finite element simulation are set:
[0102] Boundary conditions: Boundary conditions set the structural environment of the corresponding area (such as compression, tension, shear, etc.), usually including displacement boundary conditions or stress boundary conditions. Figure 11 As shown in the figure, the displacement reaches its maximum at the top of the region (top center region) and gradually decreases towards the sides and bottom. This distribution forms a parabola-like shape.
[0103] The displacement field distribution shown in the figure usually corresponds to a deformation caused by a concentrated load or bending, indicating that there is a large stress or deformation influence above the area, resulting in an arc-shaped displacement distribution in the area. This displacement field diagram can be used to analyze the deformation of materials or strata under loading or external stress. The displacement in the top center area is the largest, which may be affected by concentrated stress or boundary conditions. Such displacement distribution diagrams are often used in structural analysis or geotechnical engineering to help identify high-displacement areas to assess the potential impact of deformation on the structure. In geological and engineering applications, this diagram helps to identify possible unstable areas or predict force distribution patterns.
[0104] Initial tectonic stress field: The initial stress field is set based on geological background information (such as regional tectonic background and historical tectonic events). These data can be determined through previous stress measurement results and literature data.
[0105] 4. Finite element meshing:
[0106] Finite element analysis software is used to mesh the 3D geological model. Meshing needs to be refined, especially in areas near faults, to improve simulation accuracy.
[0107] Mesh refinement near faults: To accurately simulate the stress distribution along the fault, a denser mesh is usually required in the fault region.
[0108] Appropriate element type: Select an appropriate element type (such as tetrahedral elements or hexahedral elements) to ensure simulation accuracy.
[0109] 5. Simulating fault slip and tectonic stress increment:
[0110] The fault slip trend is applied to the finite element model to simulate the stress release process of the fault under the initial tectonic stress field and calculate the tectonic stress increment. The key steps are as follows:
[0111] Apply fault slip: Apply slip boundary conditions on the fault plane to simulate the sliding behavior of the fault under the action of regional tectonic stress.
[0112] Stress calculation: The stress field changes during fault slip are obtained through finite element simulation, and then the structural stress increment around the fault is calculated.
[0113] In one embodiment, the three-dimensional geostress field model mainly involves the superposition of vertical stress, horizontal stress, and tectonic stress. Combined with the equilibrium equation of elasticity, the model formula can be summarized as follows: The three-dimensional geostress field model mainly involves the superposition of vertical stress, horizontal stress, and tectonic stress. Combined with the equilibrium equation of elasticity, the model formula can be summarized as follows:
[0114] ,
[0115] in, is the stress tensor, which represents the stress component in each direction in the three-dimensional coordinate system ; is the contribution of the vertical stress, which is obtained by integrating the weight of the overlying rock layer of the formation:
[0116] ,
[0117] in, With depth Varying density, is the acceleration due to gravity.
[0118] and are the contributions to the horizontal stresses, calculated using the plane strain model of elasticity theory, and represent the maximum and minimum horizontal principal stresses, respectively:
[0119] ,
[0120] in, is Poisson's ratio; is the Biot poroelastic coefficient, i.e., the rock elastic parameter; is the pore pressure; and are the increments of tectonic stress, respectively. The impact of tectonic stress on the overall stress field is primarily estimated using seismic data and finite element simulations. Tectonic stress has different components in different regions and has a significant impact on the final geostress field.
[0121] Preferably, in one of the above embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, it also includes:
[0122] S201. Establishing the rock physical parameter calculation formula and the rock mechanical parameter calculation formula according to the lithologic data of different strata.
[0123] Preferably, in one of the above embodiments, the method further includes: S202, fitting the rock physical parameter calculation formula and the rock mechanical parameter calculation formula to obtain the well logging curve. It should be noted that in one embodiment, based on the theoretical model of the above rock physical parameters and rock mechanical parameters, using core experimental data and measured data, multivariate nonlinear regression is used to fit the rock physical and mechanical parameter calculation formulas for different lithologies.
[0124] For example, for Young's modulus:
[0125] ,
[0126] in: is the regression coefficient; is the error term; is Young's modulus, is the total density of the rock, is the longitudinal wave velocity.
[0127] Preferably, in one of the above embodiments, the logging curves include: a density curve and a shear wave time difference curve;
[0128] The fitting of the rock physical parameter calculation formula and the rock mechanical parameter calculation formula to obtain the well logging curve specifically includes:
[0129] S301, obtaining a density curve by fitting the petrophysical parameter calculation formula;
[0130] S302. Obtain a shear wave time difference curve by fitting the rock mechanics parameter calculation formula.
[0131] It should be noted that the rock mechanics parameter calculation formula is obtained through logging data, and the shear wave time difference curve is obtained by fitting according to the rock mechanics parameter calculation formula.
[0132] It should be noted that, in a certain implementation, Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the S-wave velocity decreases with increasing distance, which may reflect that the resistance of the stratum or material to the propagation of shear waves increases with the depth or position. This trend of decreasing velocity is usually related to changes in parameters such as stratum density and porosity, and may be caused by changes in material properties or geological structure.
[0133] like Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the S-wave time difference increases with the distance. This indicates that on the same propagation path, the propagation speed of the S-wave gradually decreases with the increase of distance, resulting in an increase in the cumulative time difference.
[0134] This increase in time difference may be related to changes in formation properties, such as increased formation density or changes in porosity, which affect the propagation speed of S waves.
[0135] Preferably, in one of the above embodiments, reconstructing the well logging curves of the complex fault zone specifically includes:
[0136] The density curve is reconstructed according to the formation mineral composition and formation porosity of the complex fault zone to obtain a reconstructed density curve.
[0137] It should be noted that, in a certain embodiment, the well logging curve is reconstructed, the density curve based on the mineral composition is reconstructed, and the shear wave time difference curve is reconstructed;
[0138] Density curve reconstruction based on mineral components. If a certain section of the density curve is missing or distorted, it can be reconstructed using mineral components and porosity. Reconstruction formula:
[0139] ,
[0140] in: is the mineral volume fraction; Well logging data is the volume fraction of pore fluid; is the porosity.
[0141] Mineral volume fraction It can be calculated through logging data (such as natural gamma, spectral gamma, nuclear magnetic resonance, etc.) and mineral models.
[0142] Due to the high cost or lack of data for shear wave logging, the reconstruction of shear wave time difference curve can be predicted using other logging curves, such as compressional wave time difference curve, density curve, and natural gamma ray curve.
[0143] The high shear wave time difference area corresponds to the low ground stress area:
[0144] In some areas of Shunbei Oilfield, if the shear wave time difference curve shows a high time difference value, it usually indicates that the rock formation in this area is relatively weak and the wave velocity is low. Since stress affects the compactness and crack characteristics of the rock, a higher shear wave time difference usually corresponds to a lower ground stress. Such areas have more stress release and are prone to cracks, so it is necessary to pay attention to the risk of well wall collapse during mining. Figure 12 Figure 2 shows the propagation of hydraulic fractures in the Shunbei area along different stress directions. Fractures propagate longer in the direction of maximum principal stress, indicating greater stress in that direction, which is more conducive to fracture extension. In oil and gas field development, understanding the direction of fracture propagation helps optimize fracturing strategies and thus increase oil and gas recovery. This diagram can help engineers predict fracture propagation paths, allowing them to more effectively guide fracture growth within the formation and improve reservoir connectivity.
[0145] like Figure 13As shown, the 3D fracture propagation map demonstrates the fracture propagation characteristics of the Shunbei area in different stress directions. Fractures propagate more strongly in the direction of maximum principal stress (lighter colors) and less strongly in the direction of minimum principal stress (darker colors). This information is valuable for optimizing fracturing operations, helping engineers predict fracture propagation directions, improve fracturing effectiveness, and optimize production capacity layout.
[0146] like Figure 14 The figure below illustrates the stress distribution around the wellbore in the Shunbei area, showing low radial stress and high hoop stress. A significant increase in hoop stress can affect wellbore stability, potentially leading to instability or wellbore failure. In practical applications, this figure helps engineers assess the stress state around the wellbore and guide wellbore support and fracturing operations.
[0147] like Figure 15 As shown, the vertical stress (Sv) curve shows how vertical stress increases with depth. Vertical stress generally has a linear relationship with depth; greater depth increases the vertical stress. The maximum horizontal principal stress (SH) curve shows how the maximum horizontal principal stress increases with depth. This stress value increases with depth but is generally smaller than the vertical stress. The minimum horizontal principal stress (Sh) curve shows how the minimum horizontal principal stress increases with depth. The minimum horizontal principal stress is generally the smallest of the three stresses, and the rate of stress increase with depth is also lower.
[0148] Gray area (stress area): The gray-filled area represents the stress interval between different types of stress. This area is usually used to represent the stress state of the formation within a specific depth range and is a key area for the assessment of wellbore stability and fracture pressure. Stress variation characteristics: The vertical stress Sv curve increases rapidly with increasing depth, showing the most obvious depth dependence. The maximum horizontal stress SH curve and the minimum horizontal stress Sh also increase with depth, but the increase is smaller than the vertical stress. With increasing depth, different types of stress gradually differentiate, and the gap between the maximum and minimum horizontal principal stresses and the vertical stress widens. This stress difference affects the stability of the formation and the behavior of fracture propagation. This figure shows the distribution of ground stress with depth in the Shunbei area through a cross-section, which helps to understand the stress state of the formation. With increasing depth, the vertical stress, maximum horizontal principal stress and minimum horizontal principal stress all show different growth trends. Understanding the distribution characteristics of these stresses is crucial for wellbore stability assessment and fracturing design, especially the stress state in the gray area, which can guide the design of protection and support measures in wellbore and reservoir development. The low shear wave time difference area corresponds to the high ground stress area:
[0149] Areas with lower shear wave transit time often indicate denser rock formations and faster wave velocities. Dense rock formations typically generate higher in-situ stresses because they are densely compacted and have fewer internal fractures. These higher in-situ stresses result in more stable wellbore walls, but higher drilling pressures may be required to prevent blowouts.
[0150] The gradient change of shear wave time difference reflects the stress concentration area:
[0151] If the gradient of the shear-wave transit time curve changes significantly at certain depths, it may indicate a sudden change in the geostress field. This is particularly common near geological faults or fractures. Stress concentration areas appear as sudden changes or sharp increases on the shear-wave transit time curve. This change can help identify potential stress concentration locations and guide drilling operations to avoid high-risk areas.
[0152] Calibration of shear wave time difference and ground stress prediction:
[0153] By comparing S-wave transit time data with actual downhole ground stress data, a prediction model for S-wave transit time and ground stress can be established. For example, by using linear or nonlinear regression models of S-wave transit time and ground stress values, ground stress can be predicted using S-wave transit time in other undrilled areas, thereby enabling a more comprehensive prediction of ground stress distribution.
[0154] In the Shunbei Oilfield, shear wave transit time curves can be used as an auxiliary tool for geostress prediction. High shear wave transit time curves generally indicate areas of low geostress, while low shear wave transit time curves are associated with areas of high geostress. By analyzing the changing trends of shear wave transit time curves, the geostress distribution in the oilfield can be more accurately assessed, providing guidance for wellbore stability and fracture development.

[0192] Wellbore stability analysis: Based on the three-dimensional geostress field, the possibility of wellbore instability is determined by the Mohr-Coulomb criterion or the Drucker-Prager criterion. The main causes of wellbore instability include high stress concentration areas and low stress release areas, and a comprehensive risk assessment of the geostress field is required.

[0211] Optimize fracturing fluid viscosity, injection rate and proppant properties to control fracture morphology.
[0212] In one embodiment, an example of a wellbore stability analysis application might include: Within the Shunbei oil and gas field, the Shunbei No. 1 and Shunbei No. 5 fault zones are important oil and gas producing areas. However, due to the deep burial depth and complex fault structures in this area, the risk of wellbore instability is high. The region is subject to multiple strike-slip faults, resulting in dramatic changes in lithology and a highly uneven distribution of geostress. In particular, geostress concentrations near the faults pose significant challenges to wellbore stability.
[0213] Analysis of geostress around the wellbore: In Shunbei area, a three-dimensional geostress model is used to conduct a detailed analysis of the geostress around the wellbore, mainly including:
[0214] vertical stress : Determined by the weight of the overlying rock strata, the vertical stress in the Shunbei area is usually higher due to its great burial depth.
[0215] Horizontal stress : Due to the existence of faults, the distribution of horizontal stress in Shunbei area is significantly uneven, especially the tectonic stress increment near the faults is significant.
[0216] The application of the wellbore instability criterion, combined with the calculation results of the wellbore circumferential stress in the Shunbei area, uses the following criteria to evaluate the wellbore instability risk. The Mohr-Coulomb criterion is used to predict the instability risk of the wellbore under high shear stress conditions. , hoop stress and effective normal stress , combined with the internal friction angle and cohesion of the rock, it can be determined whether there is a risk of shear instability in the wellbore wall.
[0217] Near the Shunbei No. 1 fault zone, due to the combined effect of horizontal stress and tectonic stress, the hoop stress in some well sections is The shear failure risk can be effectively reduced by increasing the drilling fluid density to increase the wellbore pressure.
[0218] The Shunbei area is characterized by well-developed faults and complex formation stress states. The Derek-Prager criterion is well-suited to describing rock yield behavior under these complex stress conditions. By calculating stress around the wellbore wall, high-risk areas for plastic yield were identified.
[0219] Case application: Near the Shunbei No. 5 fault zone, due to the large tectonic stress increment in the formation, the stress state in some well sections meets the yield condition of the Derek-Prager criterion. In these sections, optimizing the wellbore trajectory to avoid areas of high tectonic stress can effectively reduce the possibility of instability.
[0220] Mud pressure optimization: To ensure wellbore stability, drilling fluid pressure must be properly controlled. Due to the large variations in formation pressure in the Shunbei area, optimizing mud pressure can balance the external pressure on the wellbore with the ground stress, preventing wellbore collapse and lost circulation.
[0221] In Shunbei No. 1 Well, the mud pressure was adjusted to a range slightly higher than the pore pressure but lower than the fracture pressure, thereby reducing the risk of wellbore instability in areas of high stress concentration.
[0222] Wellbore reinforcement measures: Casing reinforcement measures are recommended for areas of high stress concentration identified during the analysis. For example, in the critical section of Shunbei Well No. 5, expansion tubing was installed to enhance the wellbore's pressure-bearing capacity, effectively reducing the risk of wellbore instability.
