Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of geomechanical modeling methods in the process of oil and gas field exploration and development, and particularly relates to a strong heterogeneity complex geology modeling method based on ANSYS and APDL. BACKGROUND
[0002] Geostress has important influence on oil and gas migration, reservoir formation, fault sealing property, structural fracture and fracturing fracture prediction. The geostress measurement based on core or wellbore is the most direct and effective means to determine the geostress state, but such method can only obtain the geostress data in the extremely limited range around the well, therefore, the application of numerical simulation in the regional three-dimensional geostress research based on single well data is increasingly important. At present, the ANSYS software is relatively simple to operate, and gradually becomes the most popular finite element analysis software in the international range with its powerful general analysis function, and has been widely applied in many fields including civil engineering, petroleum and chemical industry, etc. Some domestic scholars use the ANSYS software to analyze the three-dimensional geostress and have achieved good application effect.
[0003] Due to the very complex actual underground conditions, it is impossible to use a certain and specific mathematical function relationship to represent the layer shape, and when establishing the geology model, the influence of factors such as stratigraphic structure fluctuation, fault development and mechanical characteristic change must be considered to reflect the real stratigraphic conditions as much as possible. Through investigation, the main method in domestic research is to simplify the complex model to establish the geometric model, and to simplify the heterogeneity parameters into a few homogeneous parameters to assign and establish the mechanical model, which leads to low reliability of the calculation result and is difficult to truly reflect the underground conditions. At present, there is no ANSYS modeling method for strong heterogeneity complex stratum.
[0004] At present, there are many research literatures on the numerical simulation analysis of geostress field using the ANSYS software, but there are few patents on the modeling method for strong heterogeneity actual stratum. The published patents are mainly in the research fields of machinery and materials, and there is no complex modeling method in the fields of geology and geostress research, which causes a large difference between the model and the actual situation, and most of the research results are used as theoretical guidance, and the original design goal of modeling and numerical simulation is not completely achieved.
[0005] Three-dimensional geology modeling is the basis for the research and analysis of geologic bodies, and has important significance in the process of oil and gas reservoir exploration and development, in which the structural shape, fault distribution and mechanical characteristic parameter assignment have great influence on the model and are important factors for the model to reflect the actual geologic body. At present, there is no ANSYS modeling method for strong heterogeneity complex stratum, and there is an urgent need for a geology modeling method suitable for strong heterogeneity complex geological conditions to improve the model coincidence rate and work efficiency.
[0006] The main problems to be solved urgently have the following three aspects:
[0007] (1) The formation structure is complex, the thickness changes greatly, and the continuity is poor. If the conventional scattered point artificial manual bottom-up modeling is adopted, the speed is slow, the efficiency is low, and errors are prone to occur in the process. Therefore, the machine is required to execute the command to model, so as to improve the efficiency.
[0008] (2) The fault shape is irregular, and a large number of repeated deletion and connection operations are required in the conventional modeling process. The efficiency is low, and errors are prone to occur. A new data arrangement mode is required to be established to facilitate machine language reading and execution.
[0009] (3) The actual formation lithology changes rapidly, has strong heterogeneity, and there is no clear mathematical relationship between the characteristic expression parameters. If the conventional method is adopted to distinguish only a small number of blocks to assign material parameters, the difference with the actual geological conditions is large. Therefore, the mechanical characteristic parameters of each unit participating in the calculation are required to be distinguished, so as to express the heterogeneity in the mechanical model to a large extent.
[0010] Therefore, a strong heterogeneity complex geological modeling method based on ANSYS and APDL is provided. The three-dimensional geometric model is accurately established, the mechanical parameters of each unit are finely assigned, the model coincidence rate and work efficiency are effectively improved, and the method has a wide application prospect in oil and gas reservoir exploration and development. SUMMARY

The geometric model of complex form is established and the grid is divided. The command stream is created in combination with the characteristics of the APDL language to improve the operation accuracy and work efficiency, and the coincidence rate of the geometric model and the actual formation form is improved. The mechanical properties of rock and their distribution law are considered.

[0041] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0042] Example 1
[0043] This embodiment provides a method for modeling highly heterogeneous and complex geological conditions based on ANSYS and APDL, including the following steps:
[0044] 1) Obtain the layer coordinates. Based on the structural morphology of the study area, obtain three three-dimensional coordinate data at equal intervals or non-equal intervals within 10% along the main structural axis on the top and bottom surfaces of the target layer. The X and Y coordinates of the corresponding points of each layer should be the same. The main structural axis is the anticline axis and the main large-scale fault axis. The structural morphology of the study area includes the azimuth of the stratigraphic dip, the azimuth of the anticline axis, the azimuth of the syncline axis, and the strike of the fault.
[0045] 2) Obtain fault coordinates and integrate the data. Using the three-dimensional coordinate data of the two fault blocks at their corresponding planes obtained in step 1), where "two blocks" is a technical term referring to the rock masses on either side of the fault plane that have undergone relative displacement, replace the coordinates of points near the fault location on the plane with the actual three-dimensional coordinates of the fault, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the replacement method is A-AF, B-BF, C-CF, D-DF, E-EF, F-FF, A'-AF', B'-BF', C'-CF', D'-DF', E'-EF', F'-FF'. After replacement, the fault morphology can be controlled by the key point coordinates. The model has a high degree of consistency with the actual geological morphology. The coordinates are arranged in rows or columns and numbered. They are integrated and arranged in a certain format, including key point number, X coordinate, Y coordinate, and Z coordinate information, separated by "," to become a complete keypoint file.
[0046] 3) Import coordinate data to establish a geometric model. Import the keypoint coordinate data integrated in step 2) into ANSYS. Use APDL language to write an executable command stream. In the 3D coordinate points of the top and bottom surfaces, connect each coordinate point with its two adjacent coordinate points in sequence to form a prism-like shape, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the geometric model is built from top to bottom in either a counter-clockwise (A1-B1-C1-A2-B2-C2) or clockwise (A1-C1-B1-A2-C2-B2) sequence, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the geometric model. The X and Y coordinates of the three points on the top face and the three points on the bottom face of the triangular prism are respectively equal, ensuring that all lateral faces of the prism are planes. Simultaneously, the top and bottom faces are planes, preventing the surfaces formed by multiple points from becoming curved, which would cause the geometric model to be incomplete. The model is programmed using APDL language, making it machine-executable and further improving work efficiency.
[0047] Check the quality of the geometric model, including checking the three-dimensional geometric shape, the degree of conformity of the tectonic shape and the contact relationship between the geometric bodies, checking whether the overall shape of the model top surface and bottom surface is consistent with the actual geological tectonic shape, checking whether there are gaps between the three prisms in the model, if the check result is qualified, then proceed to the next step, if not, check whether the key point coordinates are wrong, modify and rebuild the model;
[0048] 4) Divide the grid, select the solid element type and Tet-free method in ANSYS to divide the grid, and the grid size precision is the standard to meet the calculation requirement;
[0049] Check the grid quality, including the shape of the grid element and the number of grids, use the ANSYS software to check the grid, require that the number of bad grids in the check result is not more than 1%, if the check result is qualified, then proceed to the next step, if not, modify the relevant parameters and redivide the grid;
[0050] 5) Establish a heterogeneous mechanical model, use the comprehensive inversion calculation of the sedimentary facies, well logging data and three-dimensional seismic body data in the study area to obtain the mechanical characteristic parameters of Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and density of each three-dimensional coordinate point in the depth domain, and export the text data; use APDL language to write executable command stream for comparison to establish a heterogeneous mechanical model.
[0051] The specific steps of using APDL language to write executable command stream for comparison are: 1) obtaining three-dimensional coordinates and mechanical attribute values; 2) obtaining the coordinates of the center point of the element; 3) calculating the distance between the center point coordinates of the element and the three-dimensional attribute coordinates; 4) selecting the nearest attribute; 5) corresponding to each element attribute, assigning the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio and density values,
[0052] In the step 5), the center point of the element is simplified as the average value of the coordinates of the four corner points, that is:
[0053] EL1=(ex1,ey1,ez1),
[0054] EL2=(ex2,ey2,ez2),
[0055] EL3=(ex3,ey3,ez3),
[0056] EL4=(ex4,ey4,ez4),
[0057] Center point coordinates:
[0058] ex=(ex1+ex2+ex3+ex4) / 4,
[0059] ey=(ey1+ey2+ey3+ey4) / 4,
[0060] ez = (ez1 + ez2 + ez3 + ez4) / 4;
[0061] As shown in Figure 4 the unit center point is simplified to the average value of the coordinates of the four corner points, and the regular entity grid is generally an 8-node hexahedral grid. Due to the complexity and irregularity of the geological geometric model, it will be degraded to a 4-node tetrahedral form. After degradation, various complex and irregular model mechanical operations are supported.

[0065] Table 1. Coordinates of each point on the top and bottom surfaces
[0066]
[0067] 2) Obtain fault coordinates and integrate data. In step 1), two plates of the fault are obtained, which are professional languages, that is, the three-dimensional coordinate data of the two side fault blocks on the corresponding layer surface after the stratum is broken.

The calculation speed is related to the number of grid elements and the device hardware, when the device hardware is the same, the more the number of grid elements, the slower the general calculation speed is.
