[0002] In the field of oil and gas drilling and development, with the accelerated pace of unconventional oil and gas exploration, horizontal well drilling has gradually become the mainstream. The horizontal section of a horizontal well is prone to encountering formation crossing problems during drilling, thus requiring geosteering technology for directional prediction. Traditional geosteering technology uses measurement-while-drilling tools to collect underground drilling and geological parameter information, analyze the contact relationship between the drilling trajectory and the formation, and understand the wellbore trajectory and reservoir spatial distribution. The geosteering software in the surface system processes and analyzes the received information and guides the next drilling step, achieving accurate horizontal well landing and improving reservoir encounter rate.

[0003] However, traditional geological steering technology requires manual judgment and issuance of drilling instructions, resulting in low drilling efficiency and reservoir encounter rate, making it difficult to improve the production and recovery rate of single wells in complex oil and gas reservoirs.

[0060] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. The components of the embodiments of this invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0061] This invention provides a method for early warning of directional anomalies in horizontal wells, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0062] S1: Acquire the three-dimensional location coordinates of drilled wells, drilling GR (natural gamma) data, drilling time data, and lithology logging data within the entire target block as input datasets.

[0063] As an example, the specific implementation process of this step includes:

[0064] S11: Based on the raw data collected on-site within the target block, the drilling GR data, drilling time data, and lithology logging data of the drilled wells within the target block are compiled.

[0065] For example, raw data collected in the field from a target block in the Ordos Basin can be cleaned (including checking for outliers and supplementing missing data) based on the increasing well depth pattern to obtain the drilling GR data, drilling time data, and lithological logging data for the target block. As an improvement, optionally, gas logging data and corresponding well depth information can also be obtained simultaneously; this information can also be included in subsequent input datasets.

[0066] S12: Load the collected drilling GR data, drilling time data, and lithological logging data into the 3D geological modeling software to establish a 3D geological model of the target block.

[0067] For example, the cleaned data can be organized into a standard format and loaded into PETREL software to create a three-dimensional geological model;

[0068] S13: Export the three-dimensional coordinate data of the geographical locations of the drilled wells within the entire target block (i.e., X, Y, Z data of the geographical location coordinates), drilling GR data, drilling time data, lithology logging data, the established three-dimensional geological model, and the three-dimensional coordinate data of the geographical locations of the drilled wells within the three-dimensional geological model (i.e., the X, Y, Z data of the geographical location coordinates corresponding to the X, Y, Z data within the three-dimensional geological model) according to the set precision to obtain the input dataset.

[0069] For example, the above data can be exported with an accuracy of 0.125m for a single well depth, and the data from all wells can be merged into a single data table as the input dataset.

[0070] S2: Simulate the drilling GR data of new wells in the target block based on the drilling GR data of several existing wells in the target block, and obtain the predicted depth of the drill bit of the new well based on the simulated drilling GR data of the new well and the input dataset through the established horizontal section intelligent guidance judgment model.

[0071] As an improvement to an embodiment of the present invention, one implementation of step S2 includes:

[0072] S21: Use the nearest few wells (e.g., one or more) drilled around the new well in the target block as reference wells.

[0073] S22: The GR data of a portion of the reference well is used as the GR value of the corresponding section of the new well to simulate the GR value obtained during the actual drilling of the new well, and finally the GR data of the new well is obtained by simulation, that is, the GR curve.

[0074] In this step, you can use the GR data from a drilled well to simulate the GR data from a new well, or you can use the GR data from different sections of multiple drilled wells to simulate the GR data from a new well.

[0075] S23: Based on the drilling GR data of the new well obtained from the simulation, establish an intelligent steering judgment model for the horizontal section.

[0076] For example, a horizontal section intelligent guidance judgment model can be established based on the Bayesian inversion algorithm and the simulated GR curve, and the problem of drill bit positioning during horizontal well drilling of coalbed methane can be solved by artificial intelligence.

[0077] S24: Use the simulated GR data of the new well while drilling and the input dataset as input to the horizontal section intelligent guidance judgment model, and output the probability distribution of the specific depth of the drill bit in the new well.

[0078] The probability distribution of the specific depth of the drill bit refers to the position probability of the drill bit relative to the top and bottom interfaces of the target formation, thereby obtaining the specific depth of the wellbore trajectory, and thus determining the position of the drill bit in the target formation in real time.

[0079] The posterior probability distribution of the specific depth φ of the wellbore trajectory is calculated using the following formula:

[0080]

[0081] in, Let f(i) represent the probability distribution at a specific depth φ, where i represents the i-th measurement point drilled, γ represents the GR data during drilling, j represents the j-th point in the depth domain corresponding to the i-th measurement point, f() represents the probability density function (e.g., the likelihood function), and p represents the prior probability distribution. The entire denominator is a normalization constant, which is usually not calculated, and the numerator is the unstandardized posterior distribution.

[0082] S25: Take the maximum value in the probability distribution as the predicted depth of the drill bit for the new well.

[0083] This step takes the maximum probability value of the different probability distribution points corresponding to the same depth obtained from the previous calculation as the predicted depth of the horizontal wellbore trajectory. The specific calculation formula is shown below:

[0084]

[0085] In the formula, ε represents independent and identically distributed random noise with zero mean.

[0086] The above method can be used to obtain the relative position of the wellbore trajectory in the target formation and display it in the form of a heat map. Figure 2 This is the final prediction result displayed using a single well as a reference well. Figure 3 This is a final prediction result using two wells as reference wells.

[0087] S3: Based on the predicted depth of the new well bit and the target formation, determine whether any abnormalities occurred during the drilling process.

[0088] Specifically, this step includes:

[0089] S31: Determine whether the predicted depth of the drill bit in the new well has penetrated the top and bottom interfaces of the target formation. If it has, the drill bit has penetrated the formation, an anomaly is detected, and an alarm is triggered.

[0090] This step uses the predicted horizontal wellbore trajectory and target formation to determine if any abnormalities occur during the drilling process. If no abnormalities occur, drilling continues; if abnormalities occur, an alarm is issued.

[0091] When it is determined that the drill bit has penetrated the stratum, an alarm is issued in a timely manner for manual verification by the on-site engineer. If the manual verification confirms that the drill bit has penetrated the stratum, the point is marked. If the drill bit has not penetrated the stratum, the point is considered an invalid warning.

[0092] S32: Incorporate the data corresponding to the points where an anomaly occurred into the original data and update the original data.

[0093] This step uses the results of manual review as a reference point and incorporates the corresponding data into the original dataset, providing an important reference for the next step of model updates.

[0094] Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention also include:

[0095] S4: Update the 3D geological model in real time using updated raw data.

[0096] This step updates the 3D geological model in real time based on the real-time data, optimizes the entire prediction model, and improves prediction accuracy.

[0097] This invention first collects drilling gaussing (GR) and drilling time information based on target block data to establish a 3D geological model. It then exports the X, Y, and Z coordinates of all drilled wells in the target block, along with GR, drilling time data, lithological logging data, and the corresponding X, Y, and Z coordinates of the established geological model, using this as the model training dataset. Secondly, it simulates the GR data during the drilling process of the target well using reference well and geological model data, and uses artificial intelligence algorithms to predict the relative position of the horizontal section of the target well's borehole within the formation. Finally, it uses a borehole trajectory prediction model for the horizontal section of the target well to determine whether abnormal situations such as bit contact with formations will occur during subsequent drilling and provides early warnings. Simultaneously, as new drilling data is added, the established 3D geological model can be updated in a timely manner, thereby continuously optimizing the prediction model.

[0098] This invention utilizes artificial intelligence to construct a wellbore trajectory prediction model for horizontal sections during drilling, overcoming the challenge of drill bit positioning in coalbed methane horizontal well drilling. It solves problems such as the inability to promptly detect drilled formations and automatically adjust the drill bit during horizontal well drilling, significantly improving drilling efficiency and reservoir encounter rate in coalbed methane horizontal wells. This also substantially increases single-well production and recovery rates in complex oil and gas reservoirs, while reducing on-site construction costs. Furthermore, it reduces energy and resource waste caused by drill bit encountering formations and resulting drilling corrections or downtime, making oil and gas drilling and extraction greener, more energy-efficient, low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient.

[0099] This invention also provides a horizontal well steering anomaly early warning device, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the device includes:

[0102] The early warning module 3 is used to determine whether any abnormalities occur during the drilling process of the new well based on the predicted depth of the drill bit and the target formation.

[0103] As an example, the aforementioned input dataset is obtained through the following process:

[0104] The raw data acquisition unit is used to process the raw data collected on-site within the target block to obtain the drilling GR data, drilling time data, and lithology logging data of the drilled wells within the target block.

[0112] The predicted depth determination unit is used to take the maximum value in the probability distribution as the predicted depth of the drill bit for new drilling.

[0113] The probability distribution of the specific depth of the drill bit in a new well can be calculated using the following formula:

[0114]

[0115] In the above formula, Let f(φ) represent the probability distribution at a specific depth φ, i represent the i-th measurement point that has been drilled, γ represent the GR data while drilling, j represent the j-th point in the depth domain corresponding to the i-th measurement point, f() represents the probability density function, and p represents the prior probability distribution.

[0116] Specifically, the early warning module includes:

[0117] The early warning unit is used to determine whether the predicted depth of the drill bit in a new well has penetrated the top and bottom interfaces of the target formation. If it has, the drill bit has penetrated the formation, an anomaly is detected, and an alarm is triggered.

[0119] Furthermore, the apparatus of the present invention further includes:
