Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of time-frequency electromagnetic detection, and more specifically, to an inter-well time-frequency electromagnetic data acquisition system and acquisition method based on a downhole current source. Background Art

[0002] In actual work, the ground electromagnetic method is largely limited by the detection depth and resolution. In order to overcome these shortcomings, the interwell electromagnetic method has emerged. The interwell electromagnetic method refers to a geophysical method that transmits or receives electromagnetic wave signals in two or more boreholes, uses electromagnetic wave signals to perform imaging and detect the physical properties between the wells. Since the transmitter and receiver can be placed in very deep boreholes, it has the characteristics of large penetration and large detection depth, and is therefore widely used in engineering environmental geophysical prospecting, mineral exploration, petroleum exploration, etc. For different applications, some special methods with their own characteristics have been produced, including interwell radio wave imaging, cross-hole radar, and interwell electromagnetic imaging. At present, interwell radio wave imagers only measure electric field intensity data, with a low operating frequency, generally single-frequency electromagnetic waves, and the frequency range is usually 1kHz to 10MHz. Due to the lack of travel time data to correct the ray path, interwell radio wave imaging mainly performs attenuation tomography based on direct ray tracing. Interwell radio wave imaging can be used for both engineering and environmental geophysics and prospecting. Cross-hole radar is a detection method of borehole radar, which uses high-frequency electromagnetic pulses to detect the changes in dielectric constant and conductivity between two wells. Inter-well electromagnetic imaging uses a lower frequency to measure complex electromagnetic signals, which is suitable for oil and gas reservoir monitoring. It is a frontier geophysical technology. Production practice in multiple work areas has shown that inter-well electromagnetic imaging is an effective means of reservoir research and can be used to analyze the distribution of remaining oil. Find oil and gas enrichment areas, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the success rate of drilling high-efficiency wells and improving recovery rates.

[0003] Cross-well electromagnetic logging is a logging method developed on the basis of single-well electromagnetic logging. It places a transmitter in a well to transmit electromagnetic waves to the formation, and places a receiver in another or more wells to receive the electromagnetic waves transmitted through the formation. By measuring these electromagnetic waves and performing forward, inverse and tomographic imaging, two-dimensional or three-dimensional resistivity (or conductivity) images reflecting the inter-well or regional reservoir structure and the distribution of oil, gas and water are obtained, thereby achieving the measurement and description of the electrical characteristics of the inter-well or regional formations, thereby obtaining inter-well or regional oil, gas and water distribution information, which is used to study the structure of the reservoir and the spatial distribution of oil, gas and water, reveal the underground geological characteristics, and improve the accuracy of reservoir description.

[0004] The current interwell electromagnetic technology uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves, which have limited penetration distance and large attenuation. Due to the strong shielding effect of metal casing on high-frequency electromagnetic waves, interwell electromagnetic detection technology cannot be used in metal casing wells. In addition, the interwell electromagnetic detection system based on high-frequency electromagnetic waves can only measure the resistivity parameters of the rock formation between the two wells, and cannot measure the low-frequency induced polarization effect of the underground interwell medium, resulting in the non-uniqueness of its data processing results and the inability to accurately evaluate the oil and gas saturation of oil and gas reservoirs. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-power downhole current source inter-well time-frequency electromagnetic data acquisition system and acquisition method, using a high-power time-frequency electromagnetic emission source to transmit a high-power low-frequency time-frequency electromagnetic signal current between two or more wells, and using an array-type multi-component time-frequency electromagnetic data acquisition short section in the receiving well to collect the inter-well time-frequency electromagnetic signals of the two or more wells.

[0014] The vertical non-polarized electric field sensor pair among the three pairs of mutually orthogonal and perpendicular three-component non-polarized electric field sensor pairs is two annular non-polarized electrodes, which are respectively installed at both ends of the metal shell of the downhole array-type time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving short section, and are insulated from the metal shell of the downhole array-type time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving short section by ceramic rings or high-temperature resistant rubber rings on both sides of the annular non-polarized electrodes;

[0015] The two pairs of horizontal non-polarized electric field sensor pairs are two pairs of circular non-polarized electrode sheets orthogonal to each other in the horizontal direction, which are respectively embedded in the outer shell of the downhole array type time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving short section, and are insulated from the metal shell of the downhole array type time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving short section by ceramic rings or high-temperature resistant rubber rings on the outside of the circular non-polarized electrode sheets.

[0016] The material of each non-polarizable electric field sensor of the three-component non-polarizable electric field sensor pair is a pair of platinum non-polarizable electrodes made of copper sulfate or silver chloride or platinum-plated platinum.

[0019] The method for collecting time-frequency electromagnetic data between wells based on downhole current source includes the following specific steps:

[0020] S1, a first current source transmitting antenna is arranged in the transmitting well to the bottom of the well, a second current source transmitting antenna is arranged at the wellhead of the receiving well, and a time-frequency electromagnetic controllable current transmitting source is connected in the middle of the first current source transmitting antenna and the second current source transmitting antenna;

[0022] S3, start the time-frequency electromagnetic controllable current transmitting source on the ground, and transmit the forward and reverse high-power square wave current with a duty cycle of 1 to the first tail end of the first current source transmitting antenna arranged in the transmitting well;

[0023] S4. Arrange a downhole array type time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving short section in the receiving well to the bottom of the well;

[0024] S5, start the wellhead time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving terminal near the wellhead, control and start the downhole array-type time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving short section to start collecting inter-well time-frequency electromagnetic data;

[0025] S6. When the downhole array-type time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving subsection continuously collects the time-frequency electromagnetic data between wells, the electric winch next to the receiving wellhead is started to slowly and evenly lift the downhole array-type time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving subsection to the wellhead;

[0026] S7, then the downhole array time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving subsection stops collecting the inter-well time-frequency electromagnetic data, and the electric winch next to the receiving wellhead lowers the downhole array time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving subsection to the bottom of the well again;

[0027] S8. According to the distance between two adjacent transmitting sources in the well determined by the construction design, the electric winch next to the well mouth lifts the first tail end of the first current source transmitting antenna arranged at the bottom of the well upward by a pre-designed distance;

[0028] S9, restarting the time-frequency electromagnetic controllable current transmitting source on the ground to transmit forward and reverse high-power square wave currents with a duty cycle of 1 to the first tail end of the first current source transmitting antenna arranged in the transmitting well;

[0029] S10, the downhole array time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving subsection starts to continuously collect inter-well time-frequency electromagnetic data again, starts the electric winch next to the receiving wellhead, and slowly and evenly pulls up the downhole array time-frequency electromagnetic data receiving subsection to the wellhead;

[0030] S11, repeating the operation flow from step S13 to step S10 until the first tail end of the first current source transmitting antenna arranged in the transmitting well is lifted upward to the wellhead, thereby completing the collection of a pair of inter-well time-frequency electromagnetic data;

[0031] S12, performing denoising, filtering, improving the signal-to-noise ratio and consistency processing of the emission current of the relative emission source on the inter-well time-frequency electromagnetic data collected from each pair of wells;

[0035] S16, multiplying the resistivity and polarizability data distributed along each rock layer between two or more underground wells inverted in step S15 to obtain the resistivity multiplied by the polarizability (IPR) distribution of the resistivity and polarizability between the two or more wells;

[0036] S17. Comprehensively interpret the resistivity data, polarizability data and IPR data distributed along each rock layer between two or more underground wells to accurately evaluate the oil and gas reservoirs between the wells;

[0037] S18. High resistivity, high polarizability, and high IPR abnormal reservoirs between two or more underground wells should be related to fluids with high hydrocarbon saturation in the reservoir;

[0039] S20, inverting the porosity of each rock layer and reservoir between wells using the attribute data of ground or well or inter-well seismic, and calibrating with the porosity of each rock layer and reservoir between two or more underground wells calculated in step S19;

[0040] S21, calibrating the oil and gas saturation of known reservoirs using resistivity data and polarizability data distributed along each reservoir between two or more wells and IPR data;

[0041] S22. Utilize the porosity of each reservoir calculated and calibrated by inversion in step S20 and the oil and gas saturation of the known reservoir calibrated in step S21, and combine the resistivity, polarizability and IPR data distribution in each reservoir between the wells obtained in steps S15 and S16 to calculate the total oil and gas content of each reservoir between two or more wells, thereby achieving accurate evaluation of the oil and gas resources in each reservoir between two or more wells.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: in this scheme, a high-power time-frequency electromagnetic transmitting source is used to transmit a high-power low-frequency time-frequency electromagnetic signal current between two or more wells, and an array-type multi-component time-frequency electromagnetic data acquisition short section is used in the receiving well to collect the time-frequency electromagnetic signals between the two or more wells. Since one end of the high-power time-frequency electromagnetic transmitting source is located underground in the transmitting well, and the other end is grounded at the wellhead of the receiving well or connected to the metal casing of the receiving well, the high-power low-frequency time-frequency electromagnetic current emitted by the high-power time-frequency electromagnetic transmitting source under the transmitting well passes through the rock formation or reservoir between the two or more wells from the bottom of the transmitting well, reaches the wellhead of the receiving well or the grounding electrode on the metal casing of the receiving well, and simultaneously excites a low-frequency induced polarization effect in the reservoir between the wells. Since the present invention collects inter-well low-frequency time-frequency electromagnetic data, the resistivity, polarizability and IPR distribution of the rock formation or reservoir between two or more wells can be calculated through constrained inversion, so as to accurately evaluate the oil and gas resources of the underground oil and gas reservoir.
