Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of geophysical logging engineering, and relates to a method and system for processing formation wave signals of lightweight cementing in well cementing based on acoustic variable density logging. Background Technique

[0002] The quality of well cementing is the key to making full use of oil wells, and the evaluation of well cementing quality is the key to correctly using oil wells and taking measures to protect oil wells. Cement bond logging technology represented by CBL / VDL has become a basic method and means for detecting and evaluating well cementing quality for many years, and has played an important role in the production of detecting the cement bond quality of cased wells.

[0003] When well cementing in oil fields, high-density cement with a density of 1.9 g / cm 3 is usually used. However, in actual well cementing, due to the existence of low-pressure and easily lost formations, lightweight cement slurry cementing technology is widely used. Lightweight cementing is to reduce the annular liquid column pressure during cement injection by applying lightweight cement slurry, ensure that the cement slurry returns to the designed well depth, protect the oil and gas layers, and thus reduce the pollution of the reservoir by the cement slurry. However, due to the addition of lightening agents in the lightweight cement slurry, the original acoustic properties of the cement slurry and cement stone are changed, resulting in the inability of acoustic amplitude logging to accurately evaluate its cementing quality. In view of this situation, there has been research on the correction of the 3-foot amplitude method in the past, but the correction method for the 5-foot full wave train is missing, resulting in the inability of the 5-foot full wave train logging curve to truly reflect the actual cementing quality status. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems in the prior art that due to the addition of lightening agents in the lightweight cement slurry, the original acoustic properties of the cement slurry and cement stone are changed, resulting in the inability of acoustic amplitude logging to accurately evaluate its cementing quality; and the correction method for the 5-foot full wave train is missing, resulting in the inability of the 5-foot full wave train logging curve to truly reflect the actual cementing quality status, and to provide a method and system for processing formation wave signals of lightweight cementing in well cementing based on acoustic variable density logging.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0070] Among them, the amplitude |X(k)| is called the amplitude spectrum of the sequence x(n), and the phase is called the phase spectrum of the sequence x(n); the amplitude spectrum and the phase spectrum are respectively:

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] Perform variable density processing on the time-domain wave train after inverse Fourier transform, specifically: take the positive half-cycle of the entire wave train of the time-domain wave train and display it according to different gray levels according to the amplitude size.

[0074] See Figure 2 , the present invention discloses a light cement cementing formation wave signal processing system based on acoustic variable density logging, including:

[0075] An acquisition module, which performs logging based on an acoustic variable density cement bond logging tool to acquire CBL / VDL logging data;

[0076] A determination module, which determines the light cement cementing section according to the wellbore structure;

[0077] A Fourier transform module, which performs Fourier transform on the 5-foot full wave train of the light cement cementing section to obtain a frequency-domain waveform;

[0078] A filtering processing module, which performs filtering processing on the spectrum of the transformed frequency-domain waveform to filter out the casing wave component;

[0079] An inverse Fourier transform module, which performs inverse Fourier transform on the filtered spectrum to obtain a time-domain waveform, and performs variable density processing on the time-domain wave train after inverse Fourier transform to obtain a processed CBL / VDL evaluation diagram.

[0080] Embodiment:

[0081] See Figures 3 to 7 (b), the present invention discloses a light cement cementing formation wave signal processing method based on acoustic variable density logging, including the following steps:

[0082] Step 1: Perform logging with an acoustic variable density cement bond logging tool to obtain CBL / VDL logging data;

[0083] Step 2: Determine the light cement cementing section according to the wellbore structure parameters;

[0084] Step 3: Perform Fourier transform on the 5-foot full wave train of the light cement cementing section to obtain a frequency-domain waveform;

[0085] Step 4: Perform filtering processing on the transformed spectrum to filter out the casing wave component of 20 - 25 KHz;

[0086] Step 5: Perform inverse Fourier transform on the filtered spectrum, and perform variable density processing and display on the wave train after inverse transform to finally obtain a processed CBL / VDL evaluation diagram.

[0087] As Figure 3 shown, Figure 3From top to bottom, they respectively represent the CBL / VDL responses under the conditions of cement density of 1.4 g / cm 3 , 1.7 g / cm 3 and 1.9 g / cm 3 . It can be seen from Figure 3 that in the case of complete cementation, the lower the density of the cementing cement, the greater the amplitude of the casing wave, which masks the formation wave information and affects the accuracy of the evaluation of the cementing quality of the second interface.

[0088] As Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 (b) show, in the case of free casing, since there is no cementation between the casing and the formation at all, it is shown in the time-domain waveform that the amplitude of the casing wave is the strongest and the formation wave signal is invisible; the time-domain signal is Fourier-transformed to obtain the frequency-domain waveform, and the frequency band of the casing wave is located concentratedly at 20 - 25 KHz.

[0089] As Figure 5 (a) and Figure 5 (b) show, since lightening agents are often added to light cement to reduce the cement density, the acoustic coupling ability of light cement is poorer than that of conventional density cement. In the time-domain waveform, it often shows that in the case of high-quality cementation, the numerical simulation shows that the amplitude of the casing wave is larger and the formation wave signal is masked by the casing wave.

[0090] As Figure 6 (a) and Figure 6 (b) show, the casing wave signal is well processed and shows a good cementation state in the time-domain waveform, that is, the amplitude of the casing wave is a small value and the amplitude of the formation wave is obvious, which can truly reflect the cementation situation of the cement.

[0091] It can be seen from Figure 7 (a) that due to using light cement for cementing, the measured value of the amplitude of the casing wave is relatively large, and the calculated bonding index BI values are all below 0.8. In the variable density diagram, the formation wave is relatively seriously masked by the casing wave. If evaluated according to the conventional cementing quality, there is no well section with good cementation. By performing Fourier transform on the 5-foot full wave train data of the present invention, converting it into frequency-domain data, then filtering the frequency band of the casing wave in the transformed spectrum, filtering out the casing wave component of 20 - 25 KHz, performing inverse Fourier transform on the filtered data, converting it into a time-domain waveform, the formation wave in the processed full wave train data obtained in this way is less affected by the casing wave. Performing variable density processing on it to obtain a variable density diagram. As Figure 7 (b) shows, it can be seen from the variable density diagram that after being processed by the present invention, part of the information of the casing wave is basically filtered out, and the formation wave information can be used to more intuitively judge the cementing quality of the second interface.

[0092] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
