Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration, and more specifically to a shale oil reservoir texture recognition method based on wavelet decomposition. Background Art

[0002] The sandy laminae and shale laminations of lacustrine shale oil reservoirs effectively improve the fluid seepage properties of the reservoir and are conducive to the formation and extension of fractures during the fracturing process. Therefore, the sandy laminae and shale laminations have a very important impact on the subsequent production. However, due to the influence of the provenance and sedimentary phase belts, the lacustrine shale oil reservoirs have complex lithological combinations and rapid sand-mud transitions in the vertical direction, which makes it difficult to finely pick up the sandy laminae and shale laminations of the shale oil reservoirs.

[0003] The identification of sandy laminae and shale laminae in lacustrine shale oil reservoirs is mainly through quantitative characterization of core observations, and then qualitative evaluation by calibrating well logging curves. However, due to the lack of drilling coring data and the low resolution of conventional well logging curves, it is difficult to effectively identify them. At present, there are also quantitative evaluations of sandy laminae and shale laminae based on electrical imaging images, but the calibration and processing of images are also related to the picking effect. Limited by the experience of interpreters, the current picking technology of sandy laminae and shale laminae in shale oil reservoirs is difficult to be widely promoted, which brings great challenges to the exploration of shale oil reservoirs.

[0004] Therefore, a quantitative picking method for sandy laminations and shale lamellae in shale oil reservoirs based on electrical imaging logging data is urgently needed to solve the above problems and guide the smooth implementation of continental shale gas reservoir evaluation. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the defects and shortcomings in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a shale oil reservoir texture recognition method based on wavelet decomposition. The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of poor texture picking effect and inaccurate picking of shale oil reservoirs in the above-mentioned prior art. Based on the electrical imaging button conductivity array data with full borehole coverage, the present invention extracts the local mutation point position of the original conductivity signal through one-dimensional wavelet change, and then uses the first-order derivative and the second-order derivative to determine the maximum and minimum values. Finally, the least squares method is used to fit the sine function to realize the picking of sandy laminations and shale lamellae in shale oil reservoirs. The example results show that the method proposed in the present invention has a good texture picking effect. At the same time, the model can be developed into a software system with simple required parameters and good promotion advantages.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions.

[0012] S5. Based on the first-order derivative and the second-order derivative, the maximum and minimum points are determined. Combined with the rock physical characteristics of the sandy laminae and shale lamina, the maximum points are classified as shale lamina and the minimum points are classified as sandy laminae.

[0013] S6. Establish a coordinate system based on the conductivity data matrix, and extract the coordinates of the extreme points belonging to the sandy laminae and shale lamina;

[0014] S7 selects a suitable window, divides the coordinates of the extreme value points in the window into two categories, performs least squares sine function fitting, and obtains a sine function expression;

[0015] S8. Sandy laminations and shale lamina can be picked up separately through the sine function expression, thereby realizing the texture recognition of shale oil reservoirs.

[0037] Further preferably, in step S5, the method of minimum and maximum value is used to determine whether the extreme point belongs to the sandy laminae or the shale laminae, specifically:

[0038] The sandy laminae are highly resistive compared to the overlying and underlying lithologies, and appear as low values ​​on the conductivity curve, which is the minimum point;

[0039] Shale shales have low resistivity compared to adjacent shales due to the development of lamina fractures, which leads to mud invasion. They show high values ​​on the conductivity curve and are the maximum points.
