Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geophysical exploration technology, and in particular to a three-dimensional electromagnetic fracturing monitoring method. Background Technology

[0002] With the deepening of oil and gas exploration and development, oil and gas well fracturing technology has been widely applied. During the oil and gas well fracturing process, the propagation of fractures has a significant impact on the production capacity and development effect of the oil and gas well. Therefore, monitoring the propagation of fractures is particularly important.

[0003] The current electromagnetic fracturing monitoring technology mainly collects the horizontal electric field component. The information obtained from observing single electromagnetic component data is limited, and its ability to reflect anomalies caused by changes in fracturing fluid is insufficient. It cannot monitor various electromagnetic anomalies that reflect the dynamic information of fracturing fluid during the fracturing process, which affects the monitoring of fracture propagation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a three-dimensional electromagnetic fracturing monitoring method to solve the problem that the existing technology cannot monitor various electromagnetic anomaly data that reflect the dynamic information of fracturing fluid during the fracturing process, thus making it impossible to accurately obtain characteristic data of fracturing fluid and fracture distribution morphology.

[0005] This invention provides a three-dimensional electromagnetic fracturing monitoring method, comprising:

[0006] S1. Collect parameter data of the target well, including well logging data, well trajectory data, and geological data of the target area;

[0007] S2. Establish a geoelectric model of the target well area based on the parameter data of the target well, and select reasonable acquisition parameter data through forward modeling of the target well area geoelectric model. The reasonable acquisition parameter data includes: excitation frequency, measuring line distance, point distance, transmit / receive distance, and excitation electrode distance in the transmission frequency table.

[0008] S3. According to the target well fracturing construction plan, a three-dimensional measuring network is set up directly above the fracturing section of the target well to monitor the entire fracturing process;

[0009] S4. During the fracturing monitoring process, according to the target well fracturing construction plan, the system transmits data at set time intervals according to the frequencies in the frequency table to collect natural and artificial field source data.

[0010] S5. Extract the natural source data during the non-emission period to obtain the natural source electric field time series data before and after fracturing, and obtain the natural potential data before and after fracturing based on the natural source electric field time series data before and after fracturing.

[0011] During the artificial field source emission period, the artificial field source data within the emission period is extracted to obtain the artificial source electric field time series data and magnetic field time series data before and after fracturing. The artificial source electric field time series data and magnetic field time series data before and after fracturing are processed separately to obtain the induced polarization method data before and after fracturing, the time-frequency electromagnetic method data before and after fracturing, the controlled source magnetotelluric method apparent resistivity data before and after fracturing, and the controlled source magnetotelluric method phase data before and after fracturing.

[0012] S6. Based on the natural potential data before and after fracturing, the induced polarization data before and after fracturing, the time-frequency electromagnetic data before and after fracturing, and the apparent resistivity data and phase data of controlled-source magnetotelluric method before and after fracturing, differential anomaly data are calculated and obtained. All differential anomaly data are then comprehensively analyzed to obtain characteristic data of the distribution morphology of fracturing fluid and fractures during the complete fracturing process.

[0013] Furthermore, the deployment of the three-dimensional survey network includes:

[0014] Design a survey network based on known fracturing sections and clusters;

[0017] Furthermore, the acquisition of the natural potential data before and after fracturing includes:

[0018] During the non-emission period, the natural source data is extracted to obtain the time series data of the natural source electric field before and after fracturing. The data of the time series data of the natural source electric field before and after fracturing with a signal-to-noise ratio higher than a set value are selected, and their average value is calculated to obtain the natural potential data before and after fracturing.

[0019] Furthermore, the acquisition of the induced polarization method data before and after fracturing includes:

[0020] The artificial source electric field time series data before and after fracturing are processed by DC drift correction, same-frequency halving superposition and electrode distance correction. Then, the long-period flat segment data is extracted and its average value is calculated to obtain the excitation polarization method data before and after fracturing. The long period refers to the period when the frequency is the lowest.

[0021] Furthermore, the acquisition of the time-frequency electromagnetic method data before and after fracturing includes:

[0022] The artificial source electric field time series data and magnetic field time series data before and after fracturing are subjected to DC drift correction, halved superposition at the same frequency, Fourier transform and current normalization to obtain frequency domain electric field data and magnetic field data before and after fracturing. The frequency domain electric field data is time-frequency electromagnetic method data.

[0024] Based on the frequency domain electric field and magnetic field data before and after fracturing, the controlled-source magnetotelluric apparent resistivity and controlled-source magnetotelluric phase data before and after fracturing are obtained by calculating according to the Carnia apparent resistivity formula.

[0025] Furthermore, the signal-to-noise ratio setting range in S5 is higher than 30 dB.

[0026] Furthermore, the expression for calculating the anomaly difference is as follows:

[0027] dX=(X2-X1) / (X2+X1)

[0028] Wherein, dX represents the data differential anomaly, X2 represents the data after fracturing, and X1 represents the data before fracturing. The data before fracturing includes the spontaneous potential method data, the induced polarization method data, the time-frequency electromagnetic method data, the controlled-source magnetotelluric apparent resistivity data, and the controlled-source magnetotelluric phase data before fracturing. The parameter data after fracturing includes the spontaneous potential method data, the induced polarization method data, the time-frequency electromagnetic method data, the controlled-source magnetotelluric apparent resistivity data, and the controlled-source magnetotelluric phase data after fracturing.

[0029] Furthermore, after S6, it also includes:

[0030] By using differential anomaly data during the complete fracturing process, characteristic data of the fracturing fluid during the complete fracturing process are obtained. Characteristic data of the fracture distribution morphology are then deduced from the characteristic data of the fracturing fluid. The characteristic data of the fracturing fluid includes volume, and the characteristic data of the fracture distribution morphology includes length, width, and height.

[0052] The fracturing construction plan is provided by Party A or the fracturing operator, and Party B's fracturing monitoring team carries out fracturing monitoring operations according to the fracturing construction plan, including setting up a three-dimensional measurement network.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the high-power transmitter transmits square wave signals of different frequencies into the ground through transmitting electrodes A and B according to the frequencies in the transmission frequency table. The electrodes and magnetic rods are arranged in a three-dimensional array above the fracturing well to receive electric field signals and magnetic field signals, respectively.

[0074] After processing the controlled-source magnetotelluric (CMT) data collected before and after fracturing operations, a controlled-source magnetotelluric amplitude difference anomaly plane map was obtained. Figure 4 A distinct apparent resistivity difference anomaly zone appeared on both sides of the horizontal well. The black cross represents the midpoint of each fracturing section of the horizontal well. The extent of the anomaly zone can be used to predict the distribution range of fracturing fluid.

[0075] Figure 5 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the phase difference anomaly obtained by the controlled-source magnetotelluric method provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

All differential anomaly data are then comprehensively analyzed to obtain data on the distribution morphology of fracturing fluid and fractures during the complete fracturing process.

[0083] The expression for calculating the anomaly difference is as follows:

[0084] dX=(X2-X1) / (X2+X1)

The parameter data after fracturing includes the spontaneous potential method data, the induced polarization method data, the time-frequency electromagnetic method data, the controlled-source magnetotelluric apparent resistivity data, and the controlled-source magnetotelluric phase data after fracturing.

[0086] Following S6, the following is also included:

[0087] By using differential anomaly data during the complete fracturing process, characteristic data of the fracturing fluid during the complete fracturing process are obtained. Characteristic data of the fracture distribution morphology are then deduced from the characteristic data of the fracturing fluid. The characteristic data of the fracturing fluid includes volume, and the characteristic data of the fracture distribution morphology includes length, width, and height.

[0088] This invention uses a three-dimensional measurement network to collect electric field components parallel to the emission source and magnetic field components perpendicular to the emission source. It monitors electromagnetic anomaly data of fracturing fluid dynamics during the entire fracturing process, from before to after fracturing, and obtains characteristic data of the fracturing fluid during the entire fracturing process. From this, characteristic data of the fracture distribution morphology can be deduced, thus providing data for predicting fracturing channeling and fracture risk. Compared with traditional electrical monitoring methods that can only obtain single anomaly data, this invention obtains five types of anomaly data, thereby obtaining the fracturing fluid and fracture distribution morphology, reducing ambiguity and improving accuracy and monitoring precision.
