Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of well logging reservoir evaluation, and in particular to a method for determining a mineral inversion neutron porosity parameter. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the global society and the continuous increase in energy demand, the status of oil and gas resources in national energy strategies and economic value has become increasingly prominent. In the key link of oil and gas exploration and development - reservoir evaluation, the accurate evaluation of core parameters such as reservoir development degree and porosity is crucial for accurately judging the storage capacity and exploitation potential of oil and gas reservoirs. The high accuracy of this evaluation process depends to a large extent on the high-precision quantitative analysis of the mineral composition and content in the formation.
[0003] However, currently widely used commercial software, such as CIFLog, Techlog, Geolog, etc., still face many challenges in the accurate inversion of mineral content. These software are often highly dependent on the professional experience and skill level of operators during the inversion process, and the measured values of key parameters such as GR (natural gamma ray logging count), DEN (density logging count), CNL (neutron logging count) are easily affected by multiple factors such as formation complexity, instrument accuracy and environmental factors, showing great variability.
[0004] What is more complicated is that major domestic and foreign oilfield service companies often deliberately hide or obscure the key algorithms and limiting conditions in the software in order to protect their own patented technologies, making it difficult for users to obtain accurate reference values of mineral parameters during use. Neutron porosity parameters are a typical example.
[0005] Through MCNP simulation, reference values of apparent neutron porosity of different minerals can be given, thus effectively reducing the errors caused by empirical judgment in the mineral inversion process. This method not only improves the accuracy of mineral inversion, but also reduces the dependence on operator experience and the number of parameters that need to be adjusted in mineral inversion, providing a more reliable geological basis for oil and gas exploration and development. Summary of the invention
[0006] Accurate quantitative evaluation of reservoirs requires precise inversion of mineral composition and content. Some software has given default parameters for element logging or element logging based on the mineral element content in certain areas, and given conventional logging parameters for some minerals based on logging curves and geological knowledge. However, there is still great uncertainty in the accurate inversion of mineral composition and content. 1. The default parameters are mostly for sedimentary rock formations, and the inversion of igneous and metamorphic rock formations has large errors and lacks universality; 2. The neutron porosity of some special minerals is missing; 3. Commercial software hides limiting conditions, relies too much on experience in the parameter adjustment process, and lacks accurate standards. Compared with the above methods, the method for determining the apparent neutron porosity of minerals based on MCNP simulation can give the adjustment standard of neutron porosity, reduce the parameters that users need to adjust during the mineral inversion process, improve the parameter adjustment efficiency, and thus reduce the probability of erroneous results caused by incorrect parameters.
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is implemented by adopting the following technical solutions: The terms involved in the present invention are explained as follows: MCNP: It is a numerical calculation method guided by probability and statistics theory, which is used to analyze and solve the transport problems of neutrons and photons.

[0015] Neutron porosity logging: a type of neutron logging method that uses a point isotope neutron source to irradiate the formation, uses a neutron detector to measure the thermal neutron or epithermal neutron count rate, and converts the count rate into apparent limestone porosity.

[0022] As a further technical solution of the present invention, in step 2, the step of establishing a scale relationship based on the limestone stratum and calculating the apparent limestone neutron porosity of different minerals according to the scale relationship of the limestone stratum includes: Using the MCNP instrument parameter model set in step 1, the apparent limestone porosity calibration relationship is established by changing the formation components; Setting of formation parameters: calcite is set as the skeleton mineral of the formation, water is set as the formation fluid, calcite is considered to have a porosity of 0, and water is considered to have a porosity of 100%. 16 groups of calculation models are set in order, with limestone porosities of 0, 3, 6...39, 80, and 100%; Establishment of the calibration relationship of compensated neutron porosity: Use the ratio of the thermal neutron count rate of 0-0.3eV of the near detector and the far detector to calibrate the hydrogen index of the formation, and establish the relationship between the ratio of the near and far detector calculation rate and the porosity; The functional relationship between the ratio of thermal neutron count rates of near and far detectors and porosity was obtained by multiple linear regression method.

[0040] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the specific drawings.
[0041] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining a mineral inversion neutron porosity parameter, the method comprising: Step 1: Establish the MCNP instrument parameter model based on the target instrument, including the instrument shell size parameters, near and far detector source distances, shielding body and other information; Step 2: Establish a scale relationship based on limestone strata, and calculate the apparent limestone neutron porosity of different minerals according to the scale relationship of the limestone strata; Step 3: Perform mineral inversion based on the calculated neutron porosity of limestone of different minerals.
[0042] In this embodiment, in step 1, the step of establishing the MCNP instrument parameter model based on the target instrument includes: Build an ideal formation model for apparent neutron porosity for a specific tool: The Monte Carlo method is a numerical calculation method guided by probability and statistics theory, which is widely used in the fields of particle transport, radiation measurement, radiation protection and shielding optimization design, detector characteristics, etc. The front view of the ideal formation model of neutron porosity is as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the model consists of two parts: the formation and the instrument. By using the energy spectrum data recorded by the near and far detectors and changing the mineral composition of the formation, the neutron porosity characteristic values of different minerals under ideal conditions can be studied. Formation part: The formation is composed of a single mineral and completely surrounds the instrument. The formation is a cylinder of 75×75×140cm, which is hollow inside and is regarded as an ideal infinitely uniform formation; Instrument part: mainly includes instrument shell, Am-Be source, shield, near detector and far detector. The instrument shell is a 2.15×2.15×100cm cylinder with a hollow interior. The Am-Be source is an ideal chemical source with an average energy of 4.5MeV. The shield is tungsten nickel iron. The near detector source distance is 39.83cm; the far detector source distance is 58.08cm. Recording information section: records thermal neutron counts in the range of 0~0.3eV; Principle of Apparent Neutron Porosity Calculation: The deceleration capacity of the formation for fast neutrons mainly depends on the hydrogen content index of the formation, and there is a linear relationship between the hydrogen content index and the apparent neutron porosity. The physical principle of neutron porosity calculation is as follows: Figure 2 As shown; Based on a point source, the neutron flux of thermal neutrons at a distance r from it is: Formula 1: ; in: is the thermal neutron diffusion coefficient; Le is the epithermal neutron diffusion length; Lt is the thermal neutron diffusion length; Assume that the source distances of near and far detectors are r1 and r2 respectively; the count rates of near and far detectors are N1 and N2 respectively, then: Formula 2: ; The diffusion length of thermal neutrons is much shorter than the deceleration length of fast neutrons; ignoring the exponential term of Lt, we can get: Formula 3: ; Therefore, the ratio of the count rates of the near and far detectors depends only on ; That is, it depends on the hydrogen index.
[0043] In this embodiment, in step 2, the step of establishing a scale relationship based on the limestone stratum and calculating the apparent limestone neutron porosity of different minerals according to the scale relationship of the limestone stratum includes: Using the MCNP instrument parameter model set in step 1, the apparent limestone porosity calibration relationship is established by changing the formation components; Setting of formation parameters: calcite is set as the skeleton mineral of the formation, water is set as the formation fluid, calcite is considered to have a porosity of 0, and water is considered to have a porosity of 100%. 16 groups of calculation models are set in order, with limestone porosities of 0, 3, 6...39, 80, and 100%; Establishment of the calibration relationship of compensated neutron porosity: Use the ratio of the thermal neutron count rate of 0-0.3eV of the near detector and the far detector to calibrate the hydrogen index of the formation, and establish the relationship between the ratio of the near and far detector calculation rate and the porosity; The functional relationship between the ratio of thermal neutron count rate of near and far detectors and porosity is obtained by multivariate linear regression. The calibration relationship of apparent neutron porosity of limestone formation is as follows: Figure 3 As shown; Scale relationship: Formula 4: 8.65627+4.13707R+0.01814 + ; in: represents the apparent limestone neutron porosity, R represents the ratio of thermal neutron count rates of near and far detectors; Using the MCNP instrument parameter model set in step 1, by changing the formation composition, the neutron elastic scattering and radiation capture process under different mineral conditions is simulated to obtain the thermal neutron count rates of near and far detectors under this condition. Using the scale relationship of formula 4, the apparent limestone neutron porosity of the following 32 minerals is calculated. The comparison table of the simulated values of the apparent neutron porosity of common mineral limestone and the company's recommended values is shown in Table 1. The simulation results are consistent with the company's recommended values as a whole. Some results, such as: ferro-titanium ore, siderite, pyrite, rock salt, potassium salt and other minerals, have large differences; Table 1- Comparison of simulated neutron porosity values of common mineral limestones and company recommended values ; The above minerals are classified and compared, and the results are as follows Figure 4-Figure 12 As shown: From the above comparison results, we can know that: the apparent neutron porosity of feldspar minerals changes the least, about (-2.1~-1.5%); the apparent neutron porosity of sulfide and sulfate minerals changes the most, about (-2~65%); the apparent neutron porosity of limonite and goethite is abnormally high, and the presence of hydroxyl and iron elements may be the reason for the abnormality; crystal water, iron content, density, etc. will increase the apparent neutron porosity; from the elastic scattering process, elements such as hydrogen and iron have higher elastic scattering cross sections, which also theoretically explains the correctness of this conclusion.
[0044] In this embodiment, in step 3, the step of performing mineral inversion based on the calculated neutron porosity of limestone of different minerals includes: Establish rock volume model: Based on the logging and rock physics experimental data of a certain area, minerals with a content greater than 5% are regarded as main minerals, minerals with a content less than 5% are regarded as secondary minerals, and minerals with a content greater than 5% are retained. Then, normalization is performed to obtain the rock volume model of the minerals in the area; The schematic diagram of the rock volume model of the area is shown in Fig.13 shown.
[0045] Debugging of mineral inversion parameters: DEN, CNL, AC, Mg, Ca, Si, Fe (obtained from regional data) and other parameters of element logging are used as input data, clay minerals, quartz, feldspar, calcite, amorphous, porosity and other parameters are used as output data, and the neutron porosity of different mineral limestones obtained by MCNP simulation is input as a fixed value. The input results of neutron porosity parameters are shown in Table 2: Among them, the chemical composition of amorphous is variable, and the mineral composition is not unique, so it is not considered; Evaluation of mineral inversion results: Take the parameters in Table 2 as input, output the volume fraction and mass fraction of each mineral component, and compare the mineral inversion results with the core results. The intersection diagram of the inversion results and the core results at a depth of 100 meters in a well section is shown in Figure 2. Fig.14 As shown; Table 2 - Neutron Porosity Parameter Values ; In order to evaluate the mean absolute error of the inversion results, Q is defined as the mean absolute error, then: Formula 5: ; in represents the mean absolute error of mineral i; i represents one of clay minerals, quartz, feldspar, and amorphous; represents the inversion result of mineral i; represents the core result of mineral i; After calculation, the apparent limestone neutron porosity results obtained by MCNP simulation were used in the mineral inversion process, and the average absolute error of feldspar was 3.96%, clay minerals were 2.87%, quartz was 5.69%, and amorphous was 3.46%. The comprehensive average absolute error was 4.0%, which is lower than the average absolute error of common commercial software.
[0046] The present invention first establishes a specific instrument MCNP parameter model, then uses calcite as a standard mineral to establish a calibration relationship between calcite and neutron porosity. Then, the apparent neutron porosity of the relevant minerals is calculated based on the established calibration limestone apparent neutron porosity relationship. Finally, the calculated apparent neutron porosity is used as a CNL parameter for mineral inversion, and finally an inversion result of the reservoir mineral content that is closer to the actual situation of the formation is obtained. Please refer to Fig.15 .
