Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum geological exploration and development analysis methods, and relates to a method and system for identifying single sand body configurations in horizontal wells. Background Technology
[0002] The study of single sand body configurations is a crucial foundational task in reconstructing a high-precision reservoir characterization system for understanding the subsurface. The core elements of single sand body configurations are the identification of vertical configuration interfaces and lateral connectivity. Currently, methods for identifying single sand body configurations in a dense well network with vertical wells are relatively mature: vertical configuration interfaces are identified by characterizing interlayers; the type of configuration element units is determined through core calibration and logging curve morphology; lateral connectivity is judged by comparing single sand body thickness, top-to-bottom elevation difference, and curve response characteristics; and finally, the configuration results are verified based on dynamic production characteristics.
[0003] However, research on the configuration of single sand bodies in development blocks with low well density or mixed well networks is quite difficult, especially in horizontal wells where research remains relatively weak. Current research on the configuration of single sand bodies in horizontal wells is limited to assessing the lateral connectivity of single sand bodies encountered by the horizontal well itself within the same depositional period. Research on the connectivity between sand bodies in horizontal wells and adjacent wells, as well as the configuration of single sand bodies in reservoirs encountered by horizontal wells that may represent different depositional periods, remains lacking.

[0026] Preferably, the well trajectory trend in step S5 includes a straight line, a V-shape, or a small well inclination.
[0027] Preferably, step S6 specifically comprises:
[0028] S61: Read the vertical thickness of a single sand body in each phase of a horizontal well;
[0029] S62: For meandering river deposits, based on the seismic interpretation of stratigraphic slices, the morphological unit type is determined to be either a point bar or an abandoned channel; for non-meandering river deposits, based on the characteristic that adjacent wells along the source direction have the same sedimentary features, if the thickness of a horizontal well is consistent with that of an adjacent well along the same source direction, then the horizontal well is also determined to be a morphological unit of the same type.

[0060] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0061] Example 1
[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention discloses a method for configuring a single sand body in a horizontal well, characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0063] S1: Determine the vertical configuration pattern of a single sand body in a cored vertical well. Specifically, based on a detailed description of the core, combined with the electrical characteristics of the logging curves, and integrating the sedimentary cycle theory, determine the development characteristics of interlayers within the target layer, and finely characterize the sedimentary, lithological, and vertical superposition relationships of single sand bodies and their combinations corresponding to a single microfacies sand body within the target layer, thereby determining the vertical configuration pattern of a single sand body in a cored vertical well.
[0064] S2: Quantitatively identify the vertical configuration interface of a single sand body in a non-cored vertical well based on the return rate of logging sensitive parameters. Specifically: S21: Determine the type of interlayer and logging sensitive parameters of the configuration interface based on the configuration interface characteristics of the cored well.
[0065] S22: Calculate the return rate of the sensitive parameter. If the return rate of the sensitive parameter is greater than the set threshold, it is judged as a configuration interface. The threshold set here is the minimum return rate calculated by the logging curve corresponding to the interlayer of the vertical well.
[0066] The return rate of the sensitive parameter is obtained by the following formula:
[0067]
[0068] Where: F is the return rate of the sensitive parameter;
[0069] H1 is the characteristic value of the surrounding rock curve above the configuration interface;
[0070] H2 is the characteristic value of the surrounding rock curve below the configuration interface;
[0071] B is the characteristic value of the curve at the configuration interface.
[0072] S3: Quantitatively identify the vertical configuration interface of a single sand body in a horizontal well based on the identified vertical configuration interface of a single sand body in a non-cored vertical well;
[0073] S4: Based on the seismic interpretation of the top structural plane trend, construct a vertical-horizontal well configuration comparison framework reflecting the structural trend. Specifically:
[0074] S41: Select the pilot well of the horizontal well and the vertical well at the end of the target point parallel to the horizontal section to build a comparison grid.
[0075] S42: Based on the top structural trend interpreted by the earthquake and the elevation data of the top of the single well, a grid of the vertical well configuration that reflects the true structural trend is constructed, which is the closest to the end of the horizontal well pilot well-horizontal well-horizontal well.
[0076] S5: Based on the vertical configuration interface of the horizontal well, the formation change trend, and the well trajectory trend, the vertical drilling encounters of single sand bodies in the horizontal well trajectory are comprehensively divided into stages. Among them, the types of well trajectory trends include "I" shape, "V" shape, or small well inclination. If it is "I" shape, the vertical drilling encounters are single sand bodies of the same stage; if it is "small well inclination", the number of configuration interfaces encountered vertically corresponds to the number of single sand bodies encountered; if it is "V" shape, the number of configuration interfaces encountered vertically at the deepest formation is the number of single sand bodies encountered; multiple configuration interfaces encountered within a short distance during the well trajectory advance are actually the same configuration interface.
[0077] S6: Based on seismic interpretation, determine the single sand body configuration unit type of horizontal well configuration, specifically:
[0078] S61: Read the vertical thickness of a single sand body in each phase of a horizontal well;
[0079] S62: For meandering river deposits, based on the seismic interpretation of stratigraphic slices, the morphological unit type is determined to be either a point bar or an abandoned channel; for non-meandering river deposits, based on the characteristic that adjacent wells along the source direction have the same sedimentary features, if the thickness of a horizontal well is consistent with that of an adjacent well along the same source direction, then the horizontal well is also determined to be the same type of morphological unit.
[0080] S7: Based on the sedimentary model, determine the lateral contact relationship of single sand bodies in the horizontal well to complete the configuration of the single sand body in the horizontal well. The lateral contact relationship includes three types: connected, weakly connected, and disconnected. Specifically, this step involves classifying the lateral contact relationship of single sand bodies into three types based on their thickness and top-to-bottom elevation difference: connected, weakly connected, and disconnected. When the horizontal well does not encounter a stable interlayer in the lateral direction, if the logging interpretation of a single sand body in the same period of an adjacent well has the same or similar specific characteristics, and the top-to-bottom elevation and sand body thickness of the corresponding single sand body differ by 0.0–1.5 m, then it is preliminarily determined that the single sand bodies between the two wells are laterally connected; when the horizontal well does not encounter a stable interlayer in the lateral direction, if the logging interpretation of a single sand body in the same period of an adjacent well has the same or similar characteristics, and the top-to-bottom elevation and sand body thickness differ by 0.0–1.5 m, then it is preliminarily determined that the single sand bodies in the two wells are laterally connected. If two wells have identical or similar specific characteristics, and the difference in the top and bottom elevations and sand body thickness of the two sand bodies is greater than or equal to 1.5m and less than half the thickness of the thinner sand body, then it is preliminarily determined that the sand bodies of the two wells are partially connected laterally. When a horizontal well encounters a stable interlayer during transverse drilling, or when the logging interpretation of the sand body of the two wells is significantly inconsistent with that of the adjacent well, and the difference in the top elevation or sand body thickness of the two sand bodies is greater than half the thickness of the thinner sand body, then it is preliminarily determined that the sand bodies of the two wells are not connected laterally.
[0081] S8: Analyze the inter-well sand body connectivity based on oil testing, production testing, and production dynamic data to verify the configuration results. Specifically, combine the dynamic data of the production wells and the injection-production response relationship to compare whether there is any influence between adjacent wells. If interference occurs, it indicates connectivity; otherwise, it indicates non-connectivity.
[0082] This invention utilizes a combined vertical and horizontal well approach to analyze single sand body configurations, determining the stages of vertical sand body encounters and the lateral extension trends of these sand bodies in horizontal wells. By combining seismic attributes, core data, logging data, and production dynamic data analysis, the invention verifies the single sand body configuration of horizontal wells using dynamic production data. This invention provides a method for identifying single sand body configurations in horizontal wells, enabling analysis in low-density mixed vertical and horizontal well development zones. It applies horizontal wells to analyze the planar distribution trend and define boundaries of single sand bodies, significantly reducing the uncertainty in inter-well sand body connectivity analysis and planar sand body distribution prediction, overcoming the limitations of previous studies relying solely on vertical wells. Furthermore, the division of vertical sand body encounter stages in horizontal wells lays the foundation for reservoir production segmentation, overcoming the limitations of previous methods that solely relied on pilot well formation thickness to define horizontal well single sand body boundaries for production segmentation. Current technologies lack mature and systematic methods for studying single sandbody configurations in horizontal wells. They primarily focus on determining whether a horizontal well trajectory in a straight line encounters a single sandbody boundary within a specific, singular sedimentary context, particularly when encountering the same single sandbody from the same formation. In areas with rapid sedimentary and tectonic changes, the single sandbody configurations of horizontal wells penetrating different strata and sedimentary facies have not yet been addressed. The method described in this invention will provide valuable insights for the detailed characterization of reservoir sedimentary sandbodies and the spatial distribution of configuration units under horizontal well network conditions in oilfields.
[0083] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, the present invention also discloses a horizontal well single sand body configuration system, comprising:
[0084] The cored vertical well single sand body vertical configuration pattern determination module is used to determine the development characteristics of interlayers within the target layer based on the detailed description of the core, combined with the electrical characteristics of the logging curves, and the comprehensive sedimentary cycle theory. It is used to finely characterize the sedimentary, lithological, and vertical superposition relationships of single sand bodies and their combinations corresponding to single microfacies sand bodies within the target layer, and to determine the vertical configuration pattern of the cored vertical well single sand body.
[0085] Non-cored vertical well single sand body vertical configuration interface identification module: The non-cored vertical well single sand body vertical configuration interface identification module is used to quantitatively identify the non-cored vertical well single sand body vertical configuration interface based on the return rate of logging sensitive parameters;
[0086] Horizontal well single sand body vertical configuration interface identification module: The horizontal well single sand body vertical configuration interface identification module is used to quantitatively identify the vertical configuration interface of the horizontal well single sand body based on the identified non-cored vertical well single sand body vertical configuration interface.
[0087] Vertical-horizontal well connection configuration comparison grid construction module: The vertical-horizontal well connection configuration comparison grid construction module is used to construct a vertical-horizontal well connection configuration comparison grid that reflects the structural trend based on the top structural surface trend interpreted by seismic analysis;
[0088] Horizontal well trajectory longitudinal encounter single sand body period division module: The horizontal well trajectory longitudinal encounter single sand body period division module is used to comprehensively divide the horizontal well trajectory longitudinal encounter single sand body period based on the horizontal well vertical configuration interface, formation change trend and well trajectory trend.
[0089] Horizontal Well Configuration Single Sandbody Configuration Unit Type Determination Module: The horizontal well configuration single sandbody configuration unit type determination module is used to determine the type of horizontal well configuration single sandbody configuration unit in conjunction with seismic interpretation;
[0090] Lateral contact relationship determination module for single sand bodies in horizontal wells: The lateral contact relationship determination module for single sand bodies in horizontal wells is used to determine the lateral contact relationship of single sand bodies in horizontal wells based on the sedimentation model and to complete the configuration of the single sand bodies in horizontal wells.
[0091] In a further preferred embodiment, the horizontal well single sand body configuration system also includes a verification module. The verification module is used to analyze the inter-well sand body connectivity based on oil testing, production testing, and production dynamic data to verify the configuration results. Specifically, the verification process involves combining the dynamic data of the production wells and the injection-production response relationship to compare whether there is any influence between adjacent wells. If interference occurs, it indicates connectivity; otherwise, it indicates non-connectivity.
[0092] Example 2
[0093] To further explain the technical solution of this invention, a specific analysis and illustration are provided using the J block of the L oilfield as an example. The target layer in the study area mainly develops two subfacies: braided river delta front and meandering river. The main source direction of the meandering river is east-west, with point bar sand bodies being the main reservoir sand bodies. The main source direction of the delta front is northeast-southwest, with subaqueous distributary channel sand bodies being the main reservoir sand bodies. It should be noted that the embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any modifications, substitutions, and improvements made within the principles of this invention are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0094] S1: Determine the vertical configuration pattern of a single sand body in the coring well.
[0095] Guided by the sedimentary model, the vertical configuration patterns of individual sand bodies are determined based on the core rhythm characteristics and logging curve cycles. The sedimentary cycle characteristics, configuration unit types, microstructures, corresponding depth and thickness data, and vertical superposition relationships between individual sand bodies and their combinations are clarified.
[0096] like Figure 3As shown, within the target layer of well J3, a total of six sets of single sand bodies developed from bottom to top, denoted by codes 1-6. The thickness of each set of single sand bodies varies, mainly ranging from 2-5m. For example, the single sand body with code 2 (point dam) corresponds to a "box-shaped" electrical characteristic with a thickness of 3.5m; the single sand body with code 3 (submarine distributary channel) corresponds to a "box-shaped" electrical characteristic with a thickness of 3m; and the single sand body with code 4 (submarine distributary channel) corresponds to a "bell-shaped" electrical characteristic with a thickness of 2.2m. A 2m mudstone interlayer develops between single sand bodies with codes 3 and 2, and a 1.1m mudstone interlayer develops between single sand bodies with codes 3 and 4. The single sand body with code 3 is vertically isolated and not connected vertically.
[0097] S2: As Figure 4 As shown, the vertical configuration interface of a single sand body is quantitatively identified: based on the configuration interface characteristics of the cored well, the configuration interface is determined to be mainly composed of clayey and calcareous interlayers, and the main logging sensitive parameter curves are gamma, sonic, density, and resistivity of the flushed zone. When the return rate F of each sensitive parameter is greater than 20% (for this block, a = 20%), it is judged as a configuration interface.
[0098] S3: Identify the vertical configuration interface of a single sand body in a horizontal well based on S2: A total of 9 configuration interfaces were identified for the J1 horizontal well, such as... Figure 5 As shown.
[0099] S4: Construct a vertical-horizontal well configuration comparison framework that reflects structural trends;
[0100] For the configuration analysis of the J1 horizontal well, a comparative framework of single sand body configurations was constructed from the J2-J1 horizontal well to the J1 pilot well. Based on the structural interpretation results of the seismic data and the elevation data of the single wells, the structure from J2 to J1 first rises and then falls, while the structure from the J1 horizontal well to the J1 pilot well gradually decreases.
[0101] S5: Based on the vertical configuration interface of the horizontal well, the formation change trend and the well trajectory trend, the stages of encountering vertical single sand bodies in the horizontal well trajectory are comprehensively divided.
[0102] Based on five structural interfaces, after the J1 horizontal well entered the target at point A, it encountered three phases of single sand bodies: AB was phase one (encountering three structural interfaces), BC was phase two (encountering one structural interface), and CD was phase three (encountering three structural interfaces, extremely thin). Near point D, a calcareous-muddy interlayer was encountered at the bottom of the phase three underwater distributary channel single sand body (encountering one structural interface, extremely thin). Subsequently, due to the upward curve of the trajectory and formation uplift, the well failed to penetrate this muddy interlayer and returned to the phase three single sand body. Figure 6 As shown.
[0103] S6: Guided by sedimentary models, determine the type of single sandbody configuration unit in horizontal wells based on single sandbody thickness and seismic interpretation attribute slices:
[0104] The first phase of single sand bodies is a meandering river deposit, which can be directly identified as a point bar based on seismic interpretation stratigraphic slices. The second phase of single sand bodies is a network river deposit with a thickness of 3.5m, consistent with the thickness of the distributary channel in the vertical well, and is therefore identified as a distributary channel. The third phase of sand bodies is a deltaic deposit with a thickness of 4m, consistent with the thickness of the third phase of single sand bodies in the adjacent J3 well along the provenance direction, and is therefore identified as a subaqueous distributary channel deposit, similar to well J3. Figure 7 As shown.
[0105] S7: Using sedimentary models as a guide, determine the lateral contact relationship of single sand bodies in horizontal wells:
[0106] Lateral contact relationships of single sand bodies are classified into three types: connected, weakly connected, and disconnected. Figure 8 As shown.
[0107] Regarding the first phase of single sand bodies: Under the guidance of the meandering river deposition model, the logging curves of both the J1 horizontal well and the J2 well are bell-shaped. The vertical thickness of the single sand body in the J1 horizontal well is about 2m, and the height of the sand body from the top is about 0m; the thickness of the single sand body in the J2 well is 2m, and the height of the sand body from the top is about 1m; the J1 pilot well is an abandoned river channel with a sand thickness of 0m. The top and bottom elevations and vertical thickness of the single sand bodies in the same period of the J1 horizontal well and the J2 well differ by 0.0-1.5m. Therefore, it is preliminarily determined that the first phase of single sand bodies in the J1 horizontal well are connected to the J2 well, but not to the J1 pilot well.
[0108] For the second phase of single sand bodies: Under the guidance of the meandering network river deposition model, the logging curves of the single sand bodies in the distributary channel are all box-shaped. The thicknesses of the single sand bodies in wells J2, J1 horizontal well, and J1 pilot well are 3m, 3.5m, and 2.5m, respectively, and the height of the sand body from the top and bottom is 0m. The top and bottom elevations and vertical thickness of the sand bodies in the same period are between 0.0-1.5m. Therefore, it is preliminarily determined that the second phase of single sand bodies in well J1 horizontal well are connected to wells J2 and J1 pilot well.
[0109] Regarding the third-phase single sand body: Under the guidance of the delta front depositional model, the logging curve of the J1 horizontal well is bell-shaped, with a single sand body thickness of approximately 4m and a height from the top of the sand body of approximately 1m; the logging curve of the J2 single sand body is funnel-shaped, with a single sand body thickness of 1.3m and a height from the top of the sand body of approximately 1.6m; the logging curve of the J1 pilot well is funnel-shaped, with a single sand body thickness of 1.5m and a height from the top of the sand body of approximately 2.2m. Based on the fact that when the logging curve response characteristics of the second-phase single sand bodies in the two wells are significantly inconsistent, and the difference in the top elevation or the difference in the vertical thickness of the second-phase single sand body is greater than half the thickness of the smaller single sand body, it is preliminarily determined that the single sand bodies between the two wells are not laterally connected. It is preliminarily determined that the third-phase single sand body in the J1 horizontal well is not connected to either the J2 well or the J1 pilot well. Figure 9 As shown.
[0110] S8: Analyze the inter-well sand body connectivity based on oil testing, production testing, and production dynamic data to verify the configuration results.
[0111] According to the verification of oil testing, production and dynamic data, the neutron lifetime test of the J2 well in the high position in 2008 showed that the fourth phase single sand body was already highly flooded. The water cut of the J2 and J3 wells had reached 100%. Under the condition that the fourth phase single sand body in this area had good connectivity, the water cut of the J1 horizontal well at the same time was only 40%. This also proves that the J1 horizontal well did not encounter the fourth phase single sand body and the third phase single sand body was not connected.
