Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil drilling and rock mechanics, and in particular relates to a virtual well establishment method and system for predicting wellbore stability in non-target complex formations. Background Art

[0002] In deep and ultra-deep oil drilling projects, the prediction of wellbore stability in non-target complex formations that have not been drilled is one of the current technical challenges in exploratory well drilling. Accurately predicting the wellbore stability characteristics of non-target complex formations is of great significance for optimizing drilling parameters, reducing drilling complexity, improving drilling effectiveness, and ensuring the drilling of target layers. The current prediction of wellbore stability in non-target layers and the formulation of related drilling parameters are mostly based on the engineering experience of adjacent similar wells as a reference, and roughly give drilling engineering parameters such as pore pressure, collapse pressure, leakage pressure, fracture pressure, and safe mud window range of non-target complex formations. During the actual drilling process, due to the large difference between these key parameters and the actual formation parameters, it often leads to underground complexities such as leakage, collapse, and stuck drill pipe in the drilling, which inevitably increases the drilling cycle. In worse cases, it even leads to the scrapping of the wellbore, seriously affecting the progress of oil and gas exploration.

[0003] The well to be drilled is the target well that has not been drilled yet. The data of non-target complex formations of the well to be drilled is lacking, and the drilling construction parameters provided in the drilling engineering plan and drilling design before drilling are unreliable; the reference well is a well that has already encountered non-target complex formations geologically, and the data is relatively rich. However, due to different formation depths, different structures, different wellbore inclinations, and incomplete wellbore data of the reference well, the reference construction parameters cannot be directly borrowed to the well to be drilled.

[0004] The existing construction method is to construct a virtual well based on post-stack seismic data and existing logging data and geological data in the work area. It has wide applicability. The virtual well curve is used in subsequent reservoir description, high-precision seismic inversion and other links to constrain the spatial variation law. Alternatively, the natural gamma curve of the virtual well is obtained by superimposing the second natural gamma curve controlled by the astronomical cycle and the third natural gamma curve determined by the geological model information on the basis of the first natural gamma curve obtained by the wave impedance data, so as to fully consider the high continuity of seismic data in the horizontal direction, the high resolution of the actual drilling data in the vertical direction and the constraints of the geological model. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method and system for establishing a virtual well for predicting wellbore stability in non-target complex formations in view of the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art, so as to solve the technical problem that there is a lack of data to be drilled and it is impossible to perform quantitative wellbore stability prediction.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The method for establishing a virtual well for predicting wellbore stability in non-target complex formations includes the following steps:

[0008] S1. Determine regional well data;

[0009] S2, based on the regional well data obtained in step S1, reconstruct the key missing data, obtain the regional wellbore data, and assign values ​​to obtain the virtual well data;

[0010] S3, performing depth calibration on the virtual well data obtained in step S2;

[0011] S4. Perform compaction correction on the virtual well data after depth adjustment in step S3 to complete the establishment of the virtual well.

[0012] Specifically, step S1 is as follows:

[0013] S101, searching and sorting out the surrounding wells of the target well that has not been drilled, and determining the wells that have encountered non-target complex formations;

[0014] S102, sorting out the wells that have encountered non-target complex formations obtained in step S101, determining the wellbore data acquisition status and key information of each well, and evaluating the quality of the acquired data;

[0015] S103. Based on the result obtained in step S102, wells with complete data and the best quality of recorded data are selected as reference wells for virtual wells.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S102, the key data include natural gamma, well diameter, drill bit vertical well, density, longitudinal wave time difference, and shear wave time difference.

[0017] Specifically, step S2 is as follows:

[0018] S201, clarifying the specific data missing from the reference well obtained in step S1;

[0019] S202: Screen the specific data obtained in step S201 based on the data reconstruction method.

[0020] Furthermore, in step S202, the wellbore data of adjacent wells are used to establish the relationship between the existing data by adopting a multivariate linear regression or neural network method to ensure that the reconstructed data is equal to the measured data.

[0021] Going further, reconstruct the key missing data as follows:

[0022] DEN(reconstruction)=0.00441*GR-0.01074*DTC+2.9508

[0023] Among them, DEN is density logging data, GR is natural gamma logging data, and DTC is compressional wave time difference logging data.

[0024] Specifically, in step S3, the wellbore data and geological stratification of the reference well obtained in step S1 are adjusted to a set depth range according to the geological stratification of the virtual well, and the corresponding geological stratification ranges of the virtual well are assigned in turn to construct the wellbore data of the virtual well.

[0025] Specifically, in step S4, the compaction correction is performed using acoustic wave time difference adjustment, specifically:

[0026] DTC (after correction) = DTC (before correction) * Cp

[0027] Wherein, Cp is the correction parameter.

[0028] Furthermore, the virtual well is established as follows:

[0029] The data of the reference well is used to assign data to the well to be drilled, and the virtual wellbore data of the well to be drilled with complete data is constructed. The wellbore stability analysis results are used as the basis for optimizing drilling parameters.

[0030] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a virtual well establishment system for predicting wellbore stability in non-target complex formations, comprising:

[0031] Data module, determining regional well data;

[0032] The reconstruction module reconstructs the key missing data based on the regional well data obtained by the data module, obtains the regional wellbore data, and assigns values ​​to obtain the virtual well data;

[0033] A calibration module is used to perform depth calibration on the virtual well data obtained by the reconstruction module;

[0034] The output module performs compaction correction on the virtual well data after depth adjustment by the adjustment module to complete the establishment of the virtual well.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0036] A virtual well establishment method for predicting wellbore stability in non-target complex formations uses data reconstruction technology to establish wellbore data to be drilled, providing key data for the virtual well required for wellbore stability prediction; virtual well depth adjustment is used to make the wellbore data of the virtual well conform to the formation layering and reflect the formation characteristics to be drilled; compaction correction technology is used to consider the key factor of formation compaction, making the wellbore data of the virtual well more scientific and reasonable, thereby making the wellbore stability evaluation results and optimized drilling parameters more reliable. Through the optimized drilling parameters, non-target complex formations can be drilled smoothly and the drilling efficiency can be improved.

[0037] Furthermore, step S1 carries out neighboring well optimization and data quality control around the target well to be drilled, and obtains wellbore data that can represent the target well to be drilled, that is, establishes basic data of the virtual wellbore; through data comparison and optimization of multiple neighboring wells, a representative reference well is identified.

[0038] Furthermore, step S2 constructs the missing key data of the reference well through a data reconstruction method to achieve data completeness for establishing the virtual well model, and constructs a relationship between the missing data and other data through the relationship between different logging data, thereby achieving the construction of the missing data of the virtual well.

[0039] Furthermore, the missing key data of the virtual well is constructed through the data reconstruction method to achieve data completeness of the virtual well. Through the relationship between different logging data, the relationship between the missing data and other data is constructed, thereby realizing the construction of the missing data of the virtual well.

[0040] Furthermore, the acoustic time difference adjustment is used to perform compaction correction. With the help of the sensitivity of the acoustic time difference curve to the burial depth, a correction formula is established. The formula is used to process the virtual well data so that the established virtual well model can better represent the formation characteristics.

[0041] It can be understood that the beneficial effects of the second aspect mentioned above can be found in the relevant description of the first aspect mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0042] In summary, the key data of the virtual well established by the method of the present invention is complete and reliable, and provides a data basis guarantee for the optimization and adjustment of on-site actual drilling parameters.

[0060] Various structural schematic diagrams of the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. These figures are not drawn to scale, and some details are magnified and some details may be omitted for the purpose of clear expression. The shapes of various regions and layers shown in the figures and the relative sizes and positional relationships therebetween are only exemplary, and may deviate in practice due to manufacturing tolerances or technical limitations, and those skilled in the art may additionally design regions / layers with different shapes, sizes, and relative positions according to actual needs.

[0061] In order to better drill through non-target complex formations, reduce drilling complexity and improve drilling effectiveness during oil drilling, it is necessary to carry out targeted and detailed prediction of wellbore stability in non-target complex formations, optimize and design drilling engineering parameters according to the predicted formation parameters, and reduce the drilling complexity of complex non-target complex formations and improve drilling efficiency. In order to meet the needs of wellbore stability prediction in non-target complex formations, it is necessary to construct the wellbore data to be drilled and form a virtual well with complete formation parameters; based on this virtual well, conduct wellbore stability research in non-target complex formations, and then optimize the formulation of drilling parameters.

[0062] The present invention provides a method for establishing a virtual well for predicting wellbore stability in non-target complex formations, which combines the wellbore data of adjacent wells, reconstruction of key missing data, virtual well depth adjustment of reference wells, compaction correction and other technologies and steps to achieve the establishment of virtual wells in non-target complex formations. From the sorting of regional well data to the establishment of a virtual well for predicting wellbore stability before drilling in non-target complex formations, the whole process is logically rigorous and comprehensive. The key data of the virtual well established by this method is complete and reliable, which can provide a solid data foundation for the optimization and adjustment research of on-site actual drilling parameters.

[0063] See also Figure 5 The present invention provides a virtual well establishment method for predicting wellbore stability in non-target complex formations, comprising the following steps:

[0064] S1. Regional well data sorting and optimization;

[0065] Data optimization is a preparatory work for technical methods.

[0066] See also Figure 1, explaining the relationship between the reference well and the well to be drilled. Through the optimization of neighboring wells, the well with the most complete data is selected. The data of the reference well is supplemented with missing data through data construction, and the construction of virtual well data is realized through compaction correction and other processing.

[0067] S101. Search and sort out the surrounding wells of the target well that has not been drilled, and further clarify which wells have encountered non-target complex formations;

[0068] For example, including Well A1, Well A2, etc.

[0069] S102. Sort out the wells that have encountered non-target complex formations, further clarify the wellbore data acquisition status of each well, confirm whether the key information such as natural gamma, well diameter, drill bit vertical well, density, longitudinal wave time difference, shear wave time difference, etc. are complete, and evaluate the quality of the acquired data;

[0070] For example, the adjacent well information and data quality are as follows:

[0071] The data collected from Well A1 include natural gamma (GR), well diameter (CAL), bit vertical well (BIT), density (DEN), and longitudinal wave time difference (DT); the data quality is good;

[0072] The data collected from Well A2 include natural gamma, well diameter, drill bit vertical well, and P-wave time difference; the data quality is poor;

[0073] The data collected from Well A3 include natural gamma, well diameter, drill bit vertical well, density, and longitudinal wave time difference; the data quality is average.

[0074] S103. Compare the data of the above-mentioned neighboring wells, and select a well with relatively complete data and better recorded data quality as a reference well for the virtual well.

[0075] For example, through comparative analysis of the completeness and data quality of adjacent well data, it is believed that Well A1 is suitable as a reference well for the target well.

[0076] S2, reconstruction of key missing data;

[0077] Data reconstruction can supplement and establish reliable basic wellbore data.

[0078] S201. Clarify the specific data missing from the reference wells;

[0079] For example, Well A1 lacks the key data of shear wave time difference; Well A2 (if used as a reference well) lacks density and shear wave time difference.

[0080] S202. Data reconstruction method and optimization.

[0081] By using the borehole data of adjacent wells and adopting technical methods such as multivariate linear regression and neural network, the relationship between the existing data is established and it is ensured that the reconstructed data is basically equal to the measured data.

[0082] For example, Well A2 measured natural gamma and P-wave time difference, but lacked density curve; Well A3 measured natural gamma, P-wave time difference, and density. Well A3 can be used to build a model, and the established formula is as follows:

[0083] DEN(reconstruction)=0.00441*GR-0.01074*DTC+2.9508

[0084] The reconstructed density data is compared with the measured data. Figure 2 The figure shows the curve reconstruction verification results. The model is established by using wells with complete data. In the figure, the relationship f(DEN) = a*GR + b*DT + c is established by using well A. The relationship is applied to well B, and the calculated DEN data is compared with the DEN data actually measured in well B. The comparison shows that the calculated curve is basically the same as the measured curve, with a small error, and the reconstructed model is reliable.

[0085] The above multivariate regression formula was used to reconstruct the density curve of Well A2 and supplement the missing data.

[0086] S3. Reference well and virtual well depth calibration

[0087] Depth calibration can obtain wellbore data of virtual well depth.

[0088] The wellbore data and geological stratification of the reference well are adjusted to a reasonable depth range according to the geological stratification of the virtual well, and the wellbore data of the virtual well are preliminarily constructed.

[0089] See also Figure 3 The reference well is a well that has been drilled, with complete geological stratification and wellbore data; the virtual well is a well to be drilled, with no wellbore data. This part of the work is to assign the data of the reference well to the corresponding geological stratification range of the virtual well in turn according to the geological stratification depth range, so as to achieve complete virtual well data.

[0090] S4: Compact and calibrate to complete the establishment of the virtual well.

[0091] S401. Compaction correction can obtain reasonable virtual well data.

[0092] The wellbore data and geological layer depth of the reference well are relatively shallow, while the actual well to be drilled is buried deep. It is unreasonable to directly assign the reference well data to the virtual well to be drilled according to the formation. This mainly refers to the longitudinal wave time difference data affected by the formation depth.

[0093] The depth adjustment of acoustic time difference varies depending on the block and geological depth. The more practical acoustic time difference adjustment formula is:

[0094] DTC (after correction) = DTC (before correction) * Cp

[0095] Cp=a*(1.68-0.0002*Depth)

[0096] Among them, Cp is the correction parameter, and parameter a is a fixed parameter related to the region.

[0097] See also Figure 4 , Comparison of longitudinal wave time difference before and after adjustment of a well: the pink reconstructed acoustic wave time difference (after correction) is the curve after depth adjustment according to the above formula, which can better reflect the acoustic wave time difference properties of the formation at a deeper burial depth than the blue reconstructed acoustic wave curve (before correction).

[0098] S402: Establish a virtual well.

[0099] This well is an oil and gas well waiting to be drilled. There is no wellbore data, so it is impossible to conduct a wellbore stability evaluation to optimize the drilling construction parameters.

[0100] In order to optimize drilling parameters, complete reference well data is used to assign the well to be drilled, and complete virtual wellbore data of the well to be drilled is constructed to carry out subsequent wellbore stability analysis. The wellbore stability analysis results serve as the basis for drilling parameter optimization.

[0101] In another embodiment of the present invention, a virtual well establishment system for predicting wellbore stability in non-purpose complex formations is provided. The system can be used to implement the above-mentioned virtual well establishment method for predicting wellbore stability in non-purpose complex formations. Specifically, the virtual well establishment system for predicting wellbore stability in non-purpose complex formations includes a data module, a reconstruction module, a calibration module and an output module.

[0102] Among them, the data module determines the regional well data;

[0103] The reconstruction module reconstructs the key missing data based on the regional well data obtained by the data module, obtains the regional wellbore data, and assigns values ​​to obtain the virtual well data;

[0104] A calibration module is used to perform depth calibration on the virtual well data obtained by the reconstruction module;

[0105] The output module performs compaction correction on the virtual well data after depth adjustment by the adjustment module to complete the establishment of the virtual well.

[0119] Example

[0120] See also Figure 6 Well A to be drilled is a target well that has not been drilled yet. The drilling engineering parameters for non-target complex formations provided by the drilling design of this well have poor reliability, and the possibility of drilling complications occurring during actual drilling is high.

[0121] Reference well B is a well that has encountered non-target complex strata geologically and has relatively rich data.

[0122] The reference well measured wellbore data such as natural gamma (GR), wellbore diameter (CAL), bit verticality (BIT), density (DEN), and compressional time difference (DT), and the data quality was good.

[0123] First, we sorted out the reference well B which had relatively complete data and had drilled through non-target complex formations.

[0124] Second, compare the stratigraphic sequence of the reference well and the stratigraphic sequence of the well to be drilled, borrow the reference well data from the well to be drilled, and perform depth adjustment, that is, resample the data of each stratigraphic layer of the reference well by stretching, compressing, etc. in proportion, so that the wellbore data of the well to be drilled can scientifically and reasonably reflect the stratigraphic conditions.

[0125] Third, the data reconstruction method is used to construct the shear time difference (DTS) required for wellbore stability prediction.

[0126] Fourth, considering that the reference well is shallowly buried and the well to be drilled is deeply buried, the borrowed P-wave time difference needs to be compacted and corrected to obtain the corrected P-wave time difference.
