Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas well perforation vibration monitoring, and in particular relates to an intelligent judgment method for perforation monitoring of oil and gas wells. Background Art
[0002] With the long-term exploitation of conventional oil and gas resources on land in my country, the reserves are declining. Unconventional oil and gas resources represented by deep-sea oil and gas fields and shale gas have become new growth points for my country's oil and gas production. However, the geological depth of most shale gas in my country exceeds 3,500 meters, and the average operating water depth of deepwater gas fields in the western South China Sea is 1,500 meters. Most of these wells are deep wells, and casing perforation is generally used for completion. Oilfield technicians need to know whether the perforation is completed successfully in order to take the next construction measures. Therefore, perforation monitoring of these wells is particularly important.
[0003] As an important part of well completion engineering and a major part of oil testing technology, perforation technology is a technology that uses high-energy explosives to form jets to penetrate the casing wall, cement ring, contaminated zone and part of the formation of oil and gas wells, and establish oil and gas channels between the oil and gas layer and the wellbore. Perforation completion has the advantages of good connectivity, unobstructed channels for formation fluids to flow to the wellbore, effective support provided by the casing to prevent well wall collapse, effective isolation of oil and water layers, simple process steps and low cost, and is widely used around the world.
[0004] Abnormal detonation or refusal of perforation is directly related to the safety of the wellbore and the personal safety of workers, so accurate monitoring of perforation is required. In the past, operators often used the method of listening to the sound at the wellhead and touching the oil pipe to feel the vibration, but this method has many unsafe factors. Since perforation is completed in an instant, the time is short, the energy is released quickly, and the impact duration is short, so analyzing the vibration signals generated during the perforation process and extracting useful signals from them has become an important means to detect the perforation effect. At present, operators generally use blasting vibration recorders for monitoring, that is, operators identify the detonation characteristic signals from the various signals collected by the recorder as the standard for judging the detonation of the perforating gun. Due to the different experiences of operators and the uncertainty of various well conditions, this passive operation method has a high possibility of misjudgment. Therefore, how to accurately extract the detonation characteristic signals and actively identify and judge them by the computer has become a major difficulty in current monitoring technology. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide an intelligent judgment method for perforation monitoring of oil and gas wells, aiming to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0006] The embodiment of the present invention is implemented as follows: an intelligent judgment method for perforation monitoring of oil and gas wells, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Establish a database of perforating vibration raw signals through the high-precision wellhead vibration acquisition system;

[0021] Step 1.4: If the detonation is by throwing the stick, click Collect Data after throwing the stick to start data collection; if the detonation is by pressurization, click Collect Data after pressurization to start data collection.
[0022] Step 1.5: After perforation is completed, save the data and complete the collection of raw data.
[0023] A further technical solution is that in step 2, the collected original signal is subjected to variational mode decomposition to obtain a number of IMF eigenfunctions, and a frequency spectrum corresponding to the eigenfunction is obtained by fast Fourier transform.
[0024] A further technical solution is that in step 3, the main parameters that affect the transmission of perforating vibration: the depth of the perforating section h, the total charge of the perforating bullet W, the number of perforating bullets n, the length of the perforating section l1, the interlayer length l2, and the presence or absence of a splitter, the maximum amplitude and frequency of the eigenfunction components obtained by variational mode decomposition, together constitute the perforating characteristic vector.
[0025] According to a further technical solution, in step 4, the establishment and training of the neural network model includes the following steps:
[0026] Step 4.1: Divide the collected perforation vibration sample data into a training set and a test set, with the training set accounting for 80% and the test set accounting for 20%;
[0027] Step 4.2: Normalize the training set to be in the range [0,1];
[0028] Step 4.3: Normalize the test set to be in the range of [-1,1];
[0029] Step 4.4: Establish a neural network model, with the perforation feature vector as the input layer and the output layer as the perforation result judgment, 1 indicates successful perforation, and 0 indicates no perforation or perforation failure; by setting the number of training times, learning rate and training target minimum error, and through training iterations, the optimal number of hidden layers is obtained;
[0030] Step 4.5: Establish the BP neural network with the best hidden layer and train it with the training set;
[0031] Step 4.6: Perform a test set test on the trained BP neural network model, denormalize the test results, and calculate the error between the test value and the true value; until the error is within an acceptable range, a more ideal BP neural network training model is obtained.
[0032] According to a further technical solution, step 5 comprises the following specific steps:
[0033] Step 5.1: Collection of wellhead perforation vibration signals;
[0034] Step 5.2: Construct perforation feature vector;
