Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum logging, and relates to a steering method, system, device and medium based on a dynamic three-dimensional geological model of logging while drilling. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are four main ways to geo-steering shale oil and shale gas horizontal wells. The first is to use the surrounding control wells to draw a well-connected profile, artificially connect the oil layer, poor oil layer and other reservoirs according to geological knowledge to form a two-dimensional reservoir well-connected profile, and then add the actual drilling depth, well inclination, and azimuth to the profile, and make guidance suggestions based on the position of the current horizontal well trajectory in the profile. This is a qualitative horizontal well geo-steering method. The second is to use the nearest control well of the horizontal well to divide the top and bottom interfaces of the formation and use natural gamma or resistivity logging curves to invert a two-dimensional profile that can characterize the heterogeneity change characteristics of the reservoir, and then put the actual drilling trajectory into the profile and then forward model a logging curve with the corresponding attributes. By comparing the curve obtained by the horizontal well while drilling logging and the change law of the forward modeled curve, geo-steering suggestions are provided. This is a quantitative horizontal well geo-steering method. The third is to use high-end logging while drilling instruments, such as azimuth gamma imaging while drilling, electromagnetic wave while drilling, and electromagnetic wave edge detection while drilling, to make guidance suggestions by observing the changing characteristics of the logging while drilling curve. The fourth is to use the three-dimensional seismic inversion data body, slice along the horizontal well trajectory to form a profile, intuitively display the position of the horizontal well trajectory in the seismic phase axis, and provide geological guidance suggestions. This is a semi-quantitative analysis method.

[0003] The first method of geosteering based on the well-connected profile of the surrounding control wells has the advantage of fast analysis speed, but the disadvantage is that the surrounding control wells and the horizontal wells are not in the same plane. The changes in the actual formation structure and reservoir thickness will cause the hard-projected control wells to be inconsistent with the reservoir structure and thickness actually encountered by the horizontal wells. The reservoir profile itself is a mean profile that can only express the connectivity of the reservoir, but cannot reflect the changing characteristics of the lithology and oil content inside the reservoir. The latest logging and logging while drilling information cannot be used to update the reservoir profile. There will be a large deviation when using this method for geosteering. The second method of using two-dimensional inversion while drilling profile for geosteering is better than the first method. Its advantages are fast analysis speed and ability to reflect the characteristics of lithology and oil content changes in the reservoir. However, its disadvantage is that since the control well and the horizontal well are usually not in the same plane, the control well projected onto the steering profile will hard-constrain the generation of the two-dimensional steering profile with the reservoir thickness and structural position of the control well, which will have a certain deviation from the actual drilling understanding, resulting in problems with the forward curve. By comparing this forward curve with the logging while drilling curve and adjusting the structure, it is easy to amplify the error caused by the change in reservoir thickness, affecting the decision of geosteering. The third method relies on high-end logging while drilling instruments. Due to the limitation of instrument cost, the price of field service is high, which is not conducive to the efficient development of shale oil and shale gas. It is often only used in some key wells and complex wells. The fourth method of using three-dimensional seismic slice guidance must collect three-dimensional seismic before drilling, which is costly and has a long seismic data processing cycle. The inversion profile is limited by the vertical resolution of the seismic data itself, and cannot well describe the characteristics of lithology and oil content changes in thin reservoirs. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems in the prior art that the connected well profile drawn by the peripheral control wells cannot reflect the changing characteristics of the lithology and oil content inside the reservoir; the latest logging and logging while drilling information cannot be used to update the reservoir profile; the two-dimensional inversion of the drilling while drilling profile for geological guidance is due to the fact that the control wells and the horizontal wells are usually not in the same plane, which leads to problems in the forward curve, and it is easy to amplify the error caused by the change of reservoir thickness, affecting the geological guidance decision. The field service price of high-end logging while drilling instruments is high, which is not conducive to the efficient development of shale oil and shale gas; the use of three-dimensional seismic slicing guidance method must collect three-dimensional seismic before drilling, which is costly and has a long seismic data processing cycle. The inversion profile is limited by the vertical resolution of the seismic data itself and cannot well depict the changing characteristics of the lithology and oil content inside the thinner reservoir. A guidance method, system, device and medium based on the dynamic three-dimensional geological model of logging while drilling are provided.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0012] S6: After receiving the new logging and LWD data, repeat steps S3 to S5 to implement geosteering by iteratively updating the 3D model using the logging and LWD data.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is:

[0014] Furthermore, the logging data of the control wells around the horizontal wells are compared and divided into small layers. Specifically, the well selection range of the control wells is the wells within the range of a vertical well extrapolated from the vertical wells around the horizontal wells; the small layer comparison is carried out using the methods of equal formation thickness, sedimentary cycles and marker layers, and the well-connected profiles for small layer comparison must be closed.

[0015] Furthermore, based on the results of the sub-layer division, a three-dimensional structural model of the target area is established; and reservoir lithology identification and lithofacies division are carried out, and the lithofacies curves are discretized to establish the lithofacies model under the control of the three-dimensional structural model of the target area; based on the logging curves and lithofacies model of the horizontal well, an initial three-dimensional geological attribute model of the work area is established, specifically: based on the results of the sub-layer division and the geological modeling software, a three-dimensional structural model of the target area is constructed, the reservoir interpreted by logging is taken as the reservoir-like lithofacies, and the non-reservoir section is taken as the mudstone lithofacies, and the lithofacies code is discretized, and under the constraint of the three-dimensional structural model of the target area, the lithofacies model is generated by interpolation through the sequential indicator interpolation algorithm; under the premise of lithofacies control, a logging attribute model is established, and the porosity, oil saturation, permeability and resistivity of the mudstone phase are assigned; the attribute model of the sandstone phase adopts the sequential Gaussian random simulation interpolation algorithm to establish the initial three-dimensional geological attribute model of the work area of ​​natural gamma, resistivity, mud content, porosity, saturation and permeability under the premise of lithofacies control.

[0016] Furthermore, the logging data of the horizontal well includes: current depth data of the horizontal well, trajectory data, lithologic logging data and gamma data while drilling; the horizontal well logging data is converted into lithofacies codes corresponding to reservoirs and non-reservoir layers, and the discretized data and the lithofacies data of surrounding wells are used in lithofacies modeling operations to form an iteratively updated lithofacies model, specifically: constructing an iterative lithofacies model by means of pre-set interpolation algorithms and variogram parameters, automatically calling the latest logging lithologic data and the lithologic data of surrounding wells for lithologic modeling.

[0018] The discretized current horizontal well logging curve is used to perform phase-controlled three-dimensional attribute modeling with the logging curves of the surrounding control wells under the control of the lithofacies model. Specifically, the latest logging curve while drilling and the logging curves of the surrounding wells are called to participate in the calculation through the interpolation algorithm and variation function parameters set in advance, so as to realize the iterative update of the three-dimensional geological model.

[0019] Furthermore, a three-dimensional logging attribute model slice corresponding to the drilling curve is cut along the current horizontal well trajectory, the spatial position of the horizontal well trajectory in the reservoir is analyzed, and the well inclination data required for geological steering decision-making is provided. Specifically, if the trajectory touches the lithology boundary upward, a declination reduction prompt is issued; if it touches the lithology boundary downward, an inclination increase prompt is issued; under the condition of the trajectory inside the reservoir, the curve data of the drill bit position point indicated by the latest trajectory and the straight line range extending 100m while maintaining the current well inclination angle are used as the judgment range. The judgment curve is the natural gamma while drilling. The judgment curve is judged by the three-dimensional model grid value of every 1m in the extension direction and the current natural gamma, as shown in formula (1):

[0020]

[0021] Where R is the rate of change of natural gamma, dimensionless; GR 模型值 , the natural gamma value of the grid corresponding to the current decision point, API; GR while drilling, the current latest natural gamma value while drilling, API;

[0031] A computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the above method are implemented.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] The present invention uses conventional logging data of vertical wells around horizontal wells to construct a three-dimensional geological model around horizontal wells. By adding the latest horizontal well drilling logging data and conventional horizontal well logging data to the model, the three-dimensional geological model body is continuously updated iteratively, so as to unify the three-dimensional geological model with the knowledge of drilling, logging, and logging while drilling.

[0052] See also Figure 1 The present invention discloses a steering method based on a dynamic three-dimensional geological model of logging while drilling, comprising:

[0053] S101: Perform sub-layer comparison and division on the logging data of the control wells around the horizontal well.

[0054] The selection range of control wells is the wells within the range of a vertical well extrapolated from the vertical wells around the horizontal well; the sub-layer comparison is carried out using the methods of equal thickness of formations, sedimentary cycles and marker layers, and the well-connected profile of the sub-layer comparison must be closed.

[0056] Based on the results of sub-layer division and geological modeling software, a three-dimensional structural model of the target area is constructed. The reservoir interpreted by well logging is regarded as a reservoir-like lithofacies, and the non-reservoir section is regarded as a mudstone lithofacies. The lithofacies code is discretized, and the lithofacies model is generated by interpolation through the sequential indicator interpolation algorithm under the constraint of the three-dimensional structural model of the target area. Under the premise of lithofacies control, a well logging attribute model is established, and the porosity, oil saturation, permeability and resistivity of the mudstone phase are assigned. The attribute model of the sandstone phase adopts the sequential Gaussian random simulation interpolation algorithm to establish the initial three-dimensional geological attribute model of the work area of ​​natural gamma, resistivity, mud content, porosity, saturation and permeability under the premise of lithofacies control.

[0057] S103: Input the logging data of the horizontal wells into the initial three-dimensional geological attribute model of the work area, and convert the logging data of the horizontal wells into lithofacies codes corresponding to the reservoir and non-reservoir. The discretized data and the lithofacies data of the surrounding wells are used in lithofacies modeling operations to form an iteratively updated lithofacies model.

[0058] The logging data of horizontal wells include: current depth data, trajectory data, lithology logging data and gamma data while drilling; the current depth data, trajectory data, lithology logging data, gamma data while drilling and other information of horizontal wells can be transmitted to the transmission database. The modeling computer is connected to the transmission database, and the data is directly called into the modeling computer. See the well site data transmission process for details. Figure 2 .

[0059] The horizontal well logging data is converted into lithofacies codes corresponding to reservoirs and non-reservoir layers. The discretized data and the lithofacies data of surrounding wells are used in lithofacies modeling operations to form an iteratively updated lithofacies model. Specifically:

[0060] The iterative lithofacies model is constructed by automatically calling the latest logging lithology data and the lithology data of surrounding wells for lithology modeling through the pre-set interpolation algorithm and variogram parameters. The process of using the logging lithofacies data of the actual horizontal well to establish the iterative lithofacies model is as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0062] The logging curves of the horizontal wells include gamma while drilling and resistivity while drilling logging curves; before the logging curves of the horizontal wells are discretized and the phase-controlled three-dimensional attribute modeling is performed with the logging curves of the surrounding control wells under the control of the lithofacies model, it also includes: standardizing the gamma while drilling, resistivity while drilling logging curves and the logging curves of the surrounding control wells by using the trend surface method or the marker layer average correction method;

[0063] Discretize the logging curve of the current horizontal well, and perform phase-controlled three-dimensional attribute modeling with the logging curve of the surrounding control wells under the control of the lithofacies model. Specifically, through the pre-set interpolation algorithm and variation function parameters, call the latest logging curve while drilling and the logging curve of the surrounding wells to participate in the calculation, and realize the iterative update of the three-dimensional geological model. The process of using the logging data of the actual horizontal well to establish the iterative logging attribute model is as follows: Figure 4 described.

[0064] S105: Cut a three-dimensional logging attribute model slice corresponding to the drilling curve along the current horizontal well trajectory, analyze the spatial position of the horizontal well trajectory in the reservoir, and provide well deviation data required for geosteering decision-making.

[0065] If the trajectory touches the lithology boundary upward, a declination reduction prompt is issued; if it touches the lithology boundary downward, an declination increase prompt is issued; under the condition of the trajectory inside the reservoir, the curve data of the drill bit position indicated by the latest trajectory and the straight line range extending 100m while maintaining the current well inclination angle are used as the judgment range. The judgment curve is the natural gamma while drilling. The judgment curve is judged by the three-dimensional model grid value of every 1m in the extension direction and the current natural gamma. The judgment process is as follows Figure 5 As shown in formula (1):

[0066]

[0067] Where R is the rate of change of natural gamma, dimensionless; GR 模型值 , the natural gamma value of the grid corresponding to the current decision point, API; GR while drilling, the current latest natural gamma value while drilling, API;

[0068] The maximum inclination angle for judging increase or decrease is set manually, and the default setting is 10°. If the change is within 10°, the adjusted inclination angle data is automatically calculated and submitted to the geological steering decision link; if it exceeds 10°, a reminder is issued for manual intervention. The default judgment distance of the process is 20m, and the qualified standard is 15m. This parameter can be adjusted by technicians according to actual conditions. The commonly used indicators can be adjusted to 20m and 18m as the qualified standard; it can be adjusted to 20m and 16m as the qualified standard. The judgment distance should not exceed 80m.

First, draw the small layer comparison section around the platform well field, take the mudstone at the bottom of Chang 73 developed in the whole area as the marker layer, and subdivide each layer into 2 sublayers to complete the small layer comparison of all control wells. See the schematic diagram of the comparison section for details. Figure 8 .

[0080] S2: Based on the results of the sub-layer division, the 3D structural model of the target area was built using geological modeling software.
