Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil extraction, and specifically relates to a multi-source constrained large-scale fracture automatic modeling method and related equipment. Background Art

[0002] For fractured oil and gas reservoirs, the geometry and flow characteristics of natural fractures, especially large-scale natural fractures, are crucial to the development of oil and gas reservoirs. The current method for large-scale fracture modeling mainly relies on the experience of modeling engineers and is added manually. This method that relies on the experience of engineers has the disadvantages of high uncertainty and subjectivity.

[0003] In the process of large-scale fracture modeling, the data that can reflect fracture information mainly include various seismic attributes, prior knowledge constraints brought by analyzing structural background characteristics, drilling leakage, and fracture information directly or indirectly reflected by production history. How to comprehensively consider these multi-source fracture information and generate a fracture model that meets the multi-source data constraints through an automated method is of great significance. At present, the research on this method is still in a blank stage. Summary of the invention

[0016] Preferably, the fracture network satisfies a priori distribution, drilling loss, and production test fracture location constraints.

[0017] Preferably, obtaining the fracture model according to the fracture network specifically includes randomly assigning values ​​to fracture permeabilities according to the fracture network, performing numerical simulation until a matching rate condition is satisfied, and obtaining the fracture model.

[0018] Preferably, the matching rate condition is:

[0019] 1-(|Dsim-Dobs|) / Dobs>σ

[0020] Among them, Dsim is the simulation data, Dobs is the historical data, and σ is the matching rate.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0037] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0042] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] like Figure 5 The present invention provides a multi-source constrained large-scale fracture automatic modeling method, comprising:

[0044] S101 sets the direction, length and aspect ratio distribution of the crack according to the physical properties of the crack;

[0045] S102: establishing a probability body of crack density spatial distribution according to crack detection data;

[0046] S103 obtains a fracture network according to the distribution of fracture directions, lengths and heights and a fracture density spatial distribution probability body;

[0047] S104 establishes a fracture model according to the fracture network.

[0048] According to the distribution of fracture direction, length and height and the probability body of fracture density spatial distribution, the fracture network that satisfies the constraints of prior distribution, drilling loss and production test fracture location is obtained as follows:

[0049] According to the distribution of the crack direction, length and height, the crack direction, length, height and the position of the crack center are randomly sampled;

[0050] Generate discrete fracture slices based on the fracture density spatial distribution probability volume;

[0051] Acceptance conditions are set, and the random adoption and generation of discrete fracture slices are repeated, and the distances between the fracture slices and the leakage points and the fracture positions shown by the production test are calculated until the acceptance conditions are met and the fracture network is obtained.

[0052] The acceptance condition is to calculate the distance between the fracture slice and the leakage point and the fracture position shown by the production test based on the drilling leakage data and production test data, and select a certain threshold as the acceptance condition

[0053] The fracture network satisfies the prior distribution, drilling loss and production test fracture location constraints.

[0054] The method of obtaining the fracture model according to the fracture network specifically includes randomly assigning values ​​to the fracture permeabilities according to the fracture network, performing numerical simulation until the matching rate condition is met, and obtaining the fracture model.

[0055] The matching rate condition is:

[0056] 1-(|Dsim-Dobs|) / Dobs>σ

[0057] Among them, Dsim is the simulation data, Dobs is the historical data, and σ is the matching rate.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific implementation method of the present invention is:

[0059] A. Based on the prior knowledge of the crack direction, length and height, define the crack direction distribution A~U(a,b), L~P(c,d) and the length and height ratio distribution: H~R(e,f)

[0060] B. Define the probability of cracks existing at spatial locations by earthquake attributes: D~F(x,y,z)

[0061] C. Random sampling: According to the probability distribution defined by A and B, the crack direction, length, height and the position of the crack center are sampled respectively.

[0062] D. Generate discrete crack slices: Generate discrete crack slices based on the crack parameters sampled in step C.

[0063] E. Define the acceptance conditions: According to the drilling loss data and production test data, the fracture acceptance conditions are divided on the wellbore: the distance between the fracture slice and the loss point and the fracture position shown by the production test is calculated, and a certain threshold θ value is selected as the acceptance condition.

[0064] Repeat steps C to D n times to obtain a fracture network that satisfies the prior distribution, as well as drilling loss and production test fracture location constraints.

[0065] F. Define the permeability distribution K~U(α,β) of each crack in the fracture network, and assign a permeability value to each crack by random sampling.

[0066] G. Run numerical simulation of the reservoir and dynamically adjust the permeability value based on the numerical simulation results.

[0067] H. Run m numerical simulations to achieve the condition that the simulation data Dsim, the historical data Dobs, and the matching rate σ meet 1-(|Dsim-Dobs|) / Dobs>σ, and obtain the final crack model.

[0068] The fracture detection data include: seismic coherence volume attributes, drilling loss data and production history data.

[0069] Example:

[0070] Take a block in K gas field as an example. The reservoir is a fractured carbonate reservoir. The existing fracture detection data include seismic coherence attributes, drilling loss data, and production history data:

[0071] Step 1: Define the distribution of crack direction, length and height, which are A~U(150,200), L~P(c,d) and H~R(1,4);

[0072] Step 2: Establish the probability body F(x, y, z) of crack density spatial distribution according to the coherence body attributes;

[0073] Step 3: Randomly sample crack parameters to generate discrete crack slices;

[0074] Step 4: Select θ = 50 meters as the receiving condition and receive those fractures within 50 meters from the drilling leakage point.

[0075] Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for 1000 times to get the final crack result.

[0076] Step 6: Randomly assign values ​​to the fracture permeability in the range of 1000-1000000 mD, and run 100 numerical simulations. Compare the relationship between the 100 numerical simulation results and the production history to determine the final fracture permeability.
