Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploration and development, and in particular relates to a resistivity logging inversion initial value selection method, system, equipment and medium. Background Art

[0002] Accurate resistivity measurement is key to evaluating reservoir oil and gas content. Resistivity logging (such as dual laterolog, dual induction logging, array laterolog, and array induction logging) is a common technique for measuring formation resistivity. However, its results represent a comprehensive response to reservoir and environmental factors (such as the wellbore, surrounding rock, and mud invasion). Inversion processing is often required to obtain resistivity information that reflects the reservoir's inherent characteristics. The accuracy and speed of resistivity logging inversion are closely related to the appropriate selection of initial inversion values. Inappropriate initial values ​​can lead to a high number of iterations and a long inversion time, and may even cause the inversion algorithm to fail to converge and become trapped in a local optimum, resulting in inversion failure. In practical applications, the wellbore radius, the shallowest resistivity curve value at the shallowest depth, and the deepest resistivity curve value at the deepest depth are generally used as the initial values ​​for the invasion zone radius, invasion zone resistivity, and formation resistivity, respectively. These initial values ​​deviate significantly from the true values, resulting in slow inversion speed and low accuracy.

[0003] The patent publication number is CN111305834B, and its name is a patent application for a method and system for constructing a three-dimensional inversion initial model based on multi-detection mode resistivity logging. First, the logging curve is obtained, and the target layer is stratified based on the logging curve. Then, based on the stratification results, the apparent resistivity in the logging curve is corrected to obtain the true resistivity. Finally, the true resistivity is kriging interpolated, and based on the results of the kriging interpolation, the resistivity of the finite element grid required for the forward model is assigned. By correcting the apparent resistivity in the logging curve, a true resistivity that is closer to the actual formation can be obtained and used as the resistivity of the three-dimensional inversion initial model based on multi-detection mode resistivity logging. This patent application can correct the apparent resistivity to reduce the number of inversion iterations, but this patent application cannot select an initial value that is closer to the actual value.

[0035] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] A resistivity logging inversion initial value selection method of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0037] Step 1: For the layer that needs resistivity logging inversion processing, collect the corresponding cable formation test sampling data, including the volume V of the mud filtrate pumped from the layer ly , pumped formation water volume V w , pumped formation oil and gas volume V o .

[0038] Step 2: Based on the three-parameter radial step inversion model, the pumped formation water volume V ly Calculate the initial value of the intrusion zone radius:

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the independent variable of the three-parameter radial step inversion model is the radius, and the dependent variable is the resistivity. When the radius is smaller than the wellbore radius d, the resistivity value is the mud resistivity R mc ; When the radius is larger than the wellbore radius d and smaller than the initial value of the invasion zone radius r i When the resistivity is the initial resistivity value of the intrusion zone R i ; When the radius is greater than the initial value of the intrusion zone radius r i When the resistivity is the initial value of formation resistivity R t .

[0050] Step 4: Based on the pseudo-geometric factor, use r i and R t Calculate the initial value of resistivity inversion in the intrusion zone:

[0053] Step 5: r i 、R t 、R i Substitute the initial values ​​of the three resistivity parameters into the inversion algorithm to obtain the inversion value.

[0055] The specific embodiments of the present invention are further described below.

[0056] In this embodiment, taking the radial step formation model (theoretical model) as an example, a method for selecting initial values ​​for resistivity logging inversion includes the following steps:

Specifically, the pumped mud filtrate volume V ly , pumped formation water volume V w , pumped formation oil and gas volume V o , apparent resistivity data HDIL1-HDIL5.

[0060]

[0061] Step 2: Based on the three-parameter radial step inversion model, use V ly Calculate the initial value of the intrusion zone radius;

[0062] Step 3: Based on Al's formula, use V w and V o Calculate the initial value of formation resistivity inversion;

[0063] Step 4: Based on the pseudo-geometric factor, use r i and R t Calculate the initial value of resistivity inversion of the intrusion zone;

[0064] Step 5: Compare the initial inversion values ​​with the actual formation parameters to evaluate the effectiveness of the selected method.
