TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of horizontal well development of tight sandstone gas reservoirs, and particularly relates to a horizontal well guiding method based on multidisciplinary interactive verification. BACKGROUND
[0002] The conventional horizontal well geosteering technology is a technology for monitoring and controlling the trajectory of a horizontal well bore on the basis of comprehensive geology research, based on the logging-while-drilling curve, in combination with comprehensive mud logging and gas logging data. The horizontal well drilling process generally causes great difficulty to the field geology and mud logging work, and various factors can reduce the acquisition quality of mud logging data, the lithology and oil and gas layer coincidence rate, and weaken the geosteering effect of the field mud logging on the drilling construction.
[0003] For the horizontal well drilling of tight sandstone gas reservoirs, the reservoirs are generally thin and multi-layered, and the internal structure is complex. Whether the field geosteering method applied to the horizontal well is appropriate is directly related to the success or failure of the horizontal well. At the same time, the traditional geosteering of the tight sandstone gas reservoir has many difficulties, such as the lack of obvious and stable marker layer, the strong heterogeneity of the target layer reservoir, the multiple mudstone interlayers, the untimely and mixed return of the horizontal section cuttings, the difficulty in judging the actually drilled stratum, the easy collapse of the mudstone, the large friction, and the greater difficulty in the implementation of the long horizontal section. However, due to the constraints of the early concepts, the current geosteering technology is relatively single, and the spatial changes of the reservoir are not fully considered, so that the geosteering has multiple solutions and great uncertainty. The horizontal well is drilled in advance, the number of sidetracking is increasing, and the development effect needs to be further improved.
[0004] Due to the restrictions of the surface and reservoir conditions, the difficulty of gas field development is increasing year by year. The current development object of the gas field is mainly the tight sandstone gas reservoir, which generally develops multiple thin layers and has strong reservoir heterogeneity and multiple mudstone interlayers. The accuracy of the field geosteering of the horizontal well directly affects the development effect of the horizontal well. In order to guarantee the drilling effect of the horizontal well and improve the production capacity of the single well, it is necessary to continuously improve the horizontal well guiding technology. The horizontal well guiding is a very purposeful system engineering, which needs the joint research work of geology, seismic, drilling, mud logging, logging and other professions, timely sharing of data, multi-angle tracking analysis, deep fusion of multiple data and thoughts, integration of discipline advantages, clear adjustment direction of the well trajectory, concentrated decision-making, common guidance of the horizontal well drilling, and improvement of the single well reservoir drilling effect. SUMMARY

[0034] Among them, the establishment of the sedimentary model is to use the relationship between the stratum sedimentation and the sedimentary facies, on the basis of the regional sedimentary environment analysis, use the "facies sequence change rule" to establish the local regional sedimentary model, and constantly correct the sedimentary model by using the while-drilling data of the horizontal well, the drilled sandstone corresponds to the channel or point bar sedimentary microfacies, the mudstone corresponds to the interchannel or flood plain sedimentary microfacies, the less than 2m thin layer of mudstone developed in the sandstone is defined as the interlayer, and the graphic model is established based on the above knowledge, so as to ensure that the lithology and the sedimentary microfacies are consistent at a rate of 100%.
[0035] The identification of the interlayer type is to judge whether it is an interlayer or an internal interlayer according to the color, while-drilling gamma, drilling time, and thickness of the drilled mudstone, when the interlayer is drilled, it is generally a horizontal facies change mudstone or a vertical different period layer system sand body thick layer mudstone (more than 2m), the while-drilling gamma curve will change suddenly, showing a box type, the value is relatively high (generally more than 180 API), the drillability is relatively poor (drilling time is 20min / m to 40min / m), the color is gray to dark gray, at this time, a large inclination adjustment is taken to track the replacement gas layer; when the mudstone interlayer is drilled, the while-drilling gamma curve type is generally gradual and sharp, the value is relatively low (generally less than 150 API), the thickness is less than 2m, and the drillability is relatively good (drilling time is 5min / m to 10min / m), the color is light gray to gray, at this time, fine adjustment or no adjustment is taken to quickly drill through the mudstone interlayer.

Using the well logging curve of the completed well, the seismic horizon is constrained, the wave impedance model is established, the forward analysis is carried out, the model forward result, the acoustic synthetic record and the VSP result are used to constrain and improve the resolution of the seismic data of the target layer. Fully consider the development characteristics of the stratum, lithology and structure in the region, establish a high-precision velocity model, and make multiple rounds of velocity correction combined with the latest geological understanding, and then obtain a relatively accurate velocity model, carry out target pre-stack depth migration, and accurately return the seismic reflection wave to improve the accuracy of small amplitude structure imaging, and then use high-precision pre-stack inversion to predict the spatial form, structure fluctuation, development scale, physical property, gas-bearing property and other reservoir development characteristics of the target layer.
[0037] Among them, the high-precision pre-stack inversion is specifically: during the implementation of horizontal well drilling, continuously adding the geological stratification, logging and field data of the newly completed well in the three-dimensional seismic area, under the constraint of well drilling geological stratification data and logging interpretation horizon, a higher precision velocity field is established, the three-dimensional seismic time domain is accurately converted to depth domain, the coincidence rate of the stratification and logging interpretation results of the completed well is ensured to be more than 90%, a reliable depth domain seismic gas reservoir model of the main target layer is established, and then a sandstone probability body model is established, the spatial distribution characteristics of the sandstone of the target layer are predicted by using the model, and the porosity, permeability and gas saturation of the well logging interpretation are further combined to establish a porosity, permeability and gas saturation probability data model.
[0038] 5) Based on the spatial form, structure fluctuation, development scale, physical property and gas-bearing property of the target layer predicted by three-dimensional seismic, carry out reservoir architecture analysis, quantitative sand body characterization under the constraint of horizontal well data, establish reservoir geological knowledge base of the target layer, and construct a relatively fine three-dimensional geological model based on the reservoir geological knowledge base.
[0039] Among them, the quantitative sand body characterization under the constraint of horizontal well data is specifically: in view of the limitations of interwell prediction of traditional river facies sand body quantitative characterization method, a large amount of horizontal well data is used to carry out research on structure fluctuation, reservoir sand body internal structure and different order sand body identification of the target layer, describe the sand and mudstone fabric characteristics of the horizontal well on the profile, carry out hierarchical description of "composite channel sand body (5th architecture unit)-single channel sand body (4th architecture unit)-internal accretion body (3rd architecture unit)", describe the fine thin layer sand body from 15m thick composite sand body to 5m thick thin layer sand body, and fine predict the distribution form and development scale of channel sand body.

The sedimentary geological model has the advantage of being able to closely combine the fine correlation results of the actual drilling small layers, and real-time correct and track the model according to the drilling and logging data, so as to realize the accurate targeting of the horizontal well, and also to clearly determine the sedimentary facies type of the horizontal section and determine whether the lithology of the horizontal section changes. The three-dimensional seismic data is the continuous reflection acoustic wave data of the real underground geological body, and is the real reflection of the underground formation information, which can distinguish the composite channel limits and judge the relative position of the advantageous sand body. The three-dimensional seismic probability body model can provide macroscopic direction control, has good prediction and guidance for the horizontal section guidance, and can effectively avoid sidetracking. The three-dimensional geological modeling is the comprehensive display of the seismic and geological result data, which can finely depict the structural and sandstone distribution characteristics in the three-dimensional space, comprehensively predict the lithological boundary point and the physical property boundary point of the horizontal section to be drilled, guide the fast drilling of the horizontal section, and is also the key to obtaining good reservoir drilling results. During the targeting of the horizontal well, the geological layer fine division and correlation are mainly strengthened, the three-dimensional seismic is mainly used to implement the targeting point and the target body space, during the drilling of the horizontal section, the three-dimensional seismic is mainly used to predict the advantageous reservoir sand body development position, the geological fine description and analysis of the lithology and gas-bearing property change characteristics of the horizontal section are mainly used, and real-time analysis and adjustment are carried out during the drilling process, which should meet the following quantitative indicators:
[0043] (1) The success rate of the horizontal well once targeting is 100% (the vertical depth of the targeting is within ±5m of the design error);
[0044] (2) The length of the horizontal section reaches the design geological purpose;
[0045] (3) The drilling rate of sandstone in the horizontal section is greater than 80%;

[0047] (5) No horizontal wells have ever been selected for sidetracking due to directional decision-making errors;
[0048] (6) The trajectory parameters of the horizontal section of the well meet the engineering design requirements.
[0049] Through the above methods, the horizontal well steering method based on multidisciplinary cross-verification of the present invention has been applied on a large scale in the past two years, with a target success rate of over 98%, a measured horizontal section length of 1440m, a sandstone drilling encounter rate of 86.2%, a gas layer drilling encounter rate of 70%, and 232 wells have obtained high-yield industrial gas flow in the Shangguhe 8 and Shan 1 gas layer sections, reducing sidetracking and ineffective footage, and saving a lot of money.
[0050] Example 1
[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, in the horizontal well guidance process of typical Well 1, the use of the skeleton well for detailed comparison and segmentation of sand bodies describes the internal structure and lithological changes of the sand bodies. Minor adjustments were made to the well inclination of the horizontal section to ensure drilling within the target sand body. Gas logging in the horizontal section was promptly reduced by 0.5 degrees to decrease the well inclination. A 3D seismic model was used to describe the geological structure and the location of dominant sand bodies, allowing for two significant downward adjustments to the horizontal section trajectory, effectively avoiding ineffective drilling footage and sidetracking. A 3D geological model was used to describe lithological boundaries, physical property boundaries, and sweet spot development areas, enabling timely optimization of the horizontal section trajectory design and well inclination settings, achieving efficient and rapid drilling in the horizontal section. The completed horizontal section of this well was 5256m long, with a sandstone encounter rate of 97.6%, a gas layer encounter rate of 71.0%, and an open flow rate of 2.205 million cubic meters per day.
[0052] Example 2
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, in the horizontal well guidance process of typical Well 2, the use of the skeleton well for detailed comparison and segmentation of sand bodies describes the internal structure and lithological changes of the sand bodies, depicts the distribution of interlayers, and avoids encountering interlayers in the horizontal section, achieving drilling within the target layer in the horizontal section. The 3D seismic model describes that the structural changes are not significant, and the elevation of the dominant sand body development location along the horizontal section direction increases. The horizontal section trajectory is selected with a well inclination of 90.5-91 degrees to effectively avoid drilling through the target layer sand body. The 3D geological model is used to describe the lithological boundaries, physical property boundaries, and sweet spot development areas, and the horizontal section trajectory design and well inclination settings are optimized in a timely manner to ensure smooth drilling in the horizontal section within the sweet spot area. If the physical properties deteriorate when drilling, the well inclination is adjusted to 91 degrees. The completed horizontal section of this well is 3321m long, with a reservoir drilling rate of 100%, a gas layer drilling rate of 93.3%, and an open flow rate of 3.207 million cubic meters per day.

The thickness of the sand body in the starting well is relatively thin, and after entering the target, the hole inclination is adjusted to 90 degrees for smooth drilling to realize horizontal drilling in the target sand body. The three-dimensional seismic model describes a gentle structure, and the horizontal section target sand body is obviously thickening downward. The horizontal section trajectory is selected to drill at a hole inclination of about 89 degrees to realize the horizontal section in the middle of the target sand body. The three-dimensional geological model describes the lithological boundary, physical property boundary and sweet spot development area to segment and refine the horizontal section trajectory design and hole inclination angle to ensure smooth drilling of the horizontal section in the sweet spot area. If the physical property is poor, the hole inclination is adjusted to 89 degrees for implementation. The horizontal section of the well is 4118m long, the reservoir drilling rate is 99.3%, the gas layer drilling rate is 79.7%, and the open flow capacity is 2.622 million cubic meters per day.
[0056] Example 4

The top of the target layer does not contain gas, and the middle and lower parts of the target sand body are selected to enter the target to realize horizontal drilling in the target gas-containing sand body. The three-dimensional seismic model describes a gentle structure, and the sand body has good continuity. The horizontal section trajectory is selected to drill at a hole inclination of about 90 degrees to realize fast drilling of the horizontal section. The three-dimensional geological model describes the physical property boundary and sweet spot development area to timely fine-tune the hole inclination angle to ensure smooth drilling of the horizontal section in the sweet spot area. The horizontal section of the well is 3500m long, the sandstone drilling rate is 97.3%, the effective reservoir drilling rate is 88.2%, and the open flow capacity is 2.837 million cubic meters per day.
