Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drilling engineering, and is a drilling engineering geological risk quantitative method. Background Art

[0002] With the deepening of oil exploration and development, the exploration and development targets have gradually shifted to deep and unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. However, deep exploration and development involves drilling and uncovering many strata with complex structures. Unconventional oil and gas reservoirs use high-angle and horizontal wells for production and exploitation. There are many geological factors in drilling geological risks, and it is difficult to drill wells quickly and safely with high quality, reduce costs and increase efficiency. Accurate drilling engineering geological risk level data is required.

[0003] Drilling geological risk is the main factor leading to underground complexity. Dealing with underground complex factors requires a lot of time and money. Accurately calculating the geological risk level and taking corresponding measures based on the level can reduce the probability of risk and achieve the goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

[0004] Traditional geological risk prevention measures use regional and neighboring well data, statistical analysis, and qualitative judgment of geological risks, which are then cited in drilling geological design or engineering design, but have poor prompt and warning effects.

[0005] Currently, there is no quantitative calculation method for drilling geological risks. In drilling geology and engineering design, statistical areas, drilling data, and geological risks are qualitatively identified, and risk prevention and control measures are taken passively. However, the measures are often inappropriate and the prevention and control effects are poor. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention provides a drilling engineering geological risk quantification method, which overcomes the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and can effectively solve the problems of qualitatively identifying geological risks, passively taking risk prevention and control measures, and poor prevention and control effects.

[0007] One of the technical solutions of the present invention is achieved by the following measures: A drilling engineering geological risk quantification method comprises the following steps:

[0008] Step S1, establishing a quantitative calculation model for drilling engineering geological risks;

[0009] Step S2, identifying geological factors;

[0010] Step S3, calculating the drilling geological risk level value;

[0011] Step S4: classify and prevent risks according to the drilling geological risk level value.

[0012] The following is a further optimization and / or improvement of one of the above-mentioned technical solutions:

[0013] The above step S1 may specifically include the following steps:

[0014] S1.1. Identify the geological risks of drilling engineering;

[0015] S1.2, introduce geological risk factors;

[0016] S1.3, introduce drilling geological risks;

[0017] S1.4. Calculate the drilling geological risk level value. The calculation model is:

[0018]

[0019] Where R is the risk level score; d is the drilling risk name; F i is the geological factor evaluation value; Fmin i is the lower limit of geological factor evaluation value; Fwin i W is the geological factor window length; i is the weight of geological factors; i is the i-th geological factor; n is the number of geological factors.

[0020] In the above step S2, the drilling risk can be identified according to the drilling technology and geological characteristics, and then the geological elements can be evaluated using the logging curve to calculate the risk level.

[0021] The above step S3 may specifically include the following steps:

[0022] S3.1. Determine the number of geological elements of drilling geological risk based on the relationship table between drilling geological risk and geological elements of drilling risk and the geological element evaluation results;

[0023] S3.2. Determine the number of geological elements of drilling geological risk based on the relationship table between drilling geological risk and geological elements of drilling risk and the geological element evaluation results;

[0024] S3.3. Determine the lower limit of geological factor evaluation value, geological factor window length, and geological factor weight for each geological element;

[0025] S3.4. Calculate the risk level value for each drilling risk.

[0026] When conducting risk classification and prevention, geological risks can be divided into three levels: low, medium and high according to the drilling risk grade score.

[0027] When the risk level value is less than 10, it is a general risk and pre-drilling risk assessment is required; when the risk level value is greater than 10 and less than 20, it is a moderate risk and while-drilling risk monitoring is required; when the risk level value is greater than 20, it is a high risk and while-drilling risk control is required.

[0028] The block geology, drilling, logging, mud logging and logging and drilling data can be used to construct a geological risk level calculation model, establish the relationship between geological risk and geological elements and classification standards, calculate risks using block, adjacent well and drilling data, and divide geological risk levels.

[0029] The second technical solution of the present invention is achieved through the following measures: a terminal device includes a memory and a processor, the memory stores a program that can be run on the processor, and the processor implements the above-mentioned drilling engineering geological risk quantification method when executing the program.

[0030] The third technical solution of the present invention is achieved through the following measures: a storage medium, which stores one or more programs, and the one or more programs can be executed by one or more processors to implement the above-mentioned drilling engineering geological risk quantification method.

[0031] The purpose of the present invention is to construct a quantitative calculation model for drilling geological risk, identify geological factors of drilling risk, quantitatively calculate the risk level value, determine the risk level, take corresponding measures, prevent and control drilling risks, reduce drilling costs, improve drilling timeliness, and apply it to drilling projects for exploration and development of unconventional and ultra-deep oil and gas reservoirs. In the study of geological risk identification of complex and ultra-deep wells in the southern edge of the Junggar Basin, a set of risk identification methods and geological risk level calculation models based on logging, logging, and drilling were formed, which can be extended to all drilling engineering constructions, and can accurately calculate the geological risk level value and be applied to geological risk identification. The present invention establishes a quantitative method for drilling engineering geological risk, and applies the drilling engineering geological risk factor identification method to identify the drilling risk geological factors of the target stratum, quantitatively calculate the risk level, take corresponding prevention and control measures according to the risk level, take corresponding prevention and control measures, which are highly targeted, reduce risk prevention and control costs, and improve drilling efficiency. The present invention is applied to the drilling project in the southern edge of the Junggar Basin, and the drilling complexity rate is reduced from 33.6% to 15.1%, with a reduction percentage of 55.1%.

[0042]

[0043] S1.2. Introduce geological risk factors and geological parameters that induce drilling engineering risks in prospecting wells, including high-steep structures, sensitive formations, abnormal pressures, sensitive fluids, and ultra-high permeability layers. By evaluating geological risk factors, calculate the drilling geological risk level score, identify the degree of drilling risk, optimize drilling fluids, wellbore structures, and drilling procedures, avoid the occurrence of drilling engineering geological risk winds, or reduce the intensity of drilling engineering geological risk.

[0044] S1.3, introduce drilling geological risks; among them, drilling engineering risks directly related to geological elements include well wall collapse, rupture and shrinkage; drilling fluid gushing, leakage and denaturation; hydrogen sulfide poisoning, high-pressure blowout and gas explosion risks that may occur at the well site. By identifying drilling geological risks, optimizing drilling fluid, wellbore structure and drilling procedures, avoid the occurrence of drilling engineering geological risks or reduce the intensity of drilling engineering geological risks.

[0045] S1.4. Calculate the drilling geological risk level value. The calculation model is:

[0046]

[0047] Where R is the risk level score; d is the drilling risk name; F i is the geological factor evaluation value; Fmin i is the lower limit of geological factor evaluation value; Fwin i W is the geological factor window length; i is the weight of geological factors; i is the i-th geological factor; n is the number of geological factors.

[0048] Step S2, identifying geological factors;

[0049] Drilling geological risk is the risk of drilling geological elements that may induce certain drilling risks. There is a certain relationship between the two. The relationship between drilling geological risk and drilling risk geological elements is shown in Table 2. According to the drilling process and geological characteristics, the drilling risk is identified, and then the logging curve is used to evaluate the geological elements, and the risk level is calculated using formula (1).

[0056] S3.4. Calculate the risk level value R for each drilling risk d.

[0057] Step S4: classify and prevent risks according to the drilling geological risk level value.

[0058] When classifying and preventing risks, geological risks are divided into three levels: low, medium and high according to the drilling risk level score. The classification criteria are shown in Table 3. Specifically, when the risk level value is less than 10, it is a general risk and requires pre-drilling risk assessment; when the risk level value is greater than 10 and less than 20, it is a moderate risk and requires risk monitoring while drilling; when the risk level value is greater than 20, it is a high risk and requires risk control while drilling.

The geological factors of well leakage are formation pores, fractures and formation pressure. These three geological factors can be evaluated by AC. When the AC value is large, the well leakage is mainly caused by formation pores. When the AC value is small, there may be fractures or drilling-induced fractures in the formation. Determine the value of the well leakage risk level calculated using the AC curve.
