Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploration and development, and particularly relates to a method, device, equipment and storage medium for quantitatively identifying salt rock layers in drilling. BACKGROUND
[0002] Accurate identification of salt rock layers is of great significance for safe drilling, and the unique creep characteristics of salt rock layers can easily lead to hole shrinkage. If salt rock layers are drilled and no targeted measures are taken in the drilling process (such as increasing the frequency of well wall drawing and scratching, and increasing the density of drilling fluid), it may cause sticking and greatly affect the drilling efficiency. In oil-based drilling fluid, salt rock cuttings can be returned to the surface with the drilling fluid circulation, and the lithology can be directly identified according to the cuttings, but in water-based drilling fluid, due to the characteristics of salt rock being easily dissolved in water, representative cuttings cannot be obtained, which leads to difficulties in accurately identifying salt rock layers during drilling. At present, there are mainly two ways to identify salt rock under the condition of water-based drilling fluid. One is to identify salt rock layers by implementing logging after drilling, which has high accuracy, but cannot provide reference for the drilling process in time. The other is to qualitatively identify by the change of related parameters (such as drilling time and cuttings return amount) in the drilling process, but the identification accuracy depends largely on the operation experience of the operator, and has great uncertainty.
[0003] The patent application with the patent publication number CN113187470A and the name of a method and device for identifying shale oil layers and conventional oil layers on a well profile, the method comprises: preprocessing the gas logging data and logging data of the target well, and reprocessing the gas logging data and logging data after preprocessing, so that the gas logging data and logging data are simultaneously obtained on each depth data point; obtaining the organic matter abundance data of the target well; obtaining the saturated pyrolysis free hydrocarbon parameter of the target well; obtaining the relationship between the total oil content of the target well downhole sample and the saturated pyrolysis free hydrocarbon parameter of the target well according to the gas logging data; identifying shale oil layers and conventional oil layers according to the relationship between the total oil content of the target well downhole sample and the saturated pyrolysis free hydrocarbon parameter of the target well. Although the patent application can identify oil layers, it cannot accurately identify salt rock layers. SUMMARY
[0004] In order to overcome the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a method, device, equipment and storage medium for quantitatively identifying salt rock layers in drilling, which is obtained by formulating a formula based on experience summary, and has a unified operation standard for quantitatively identifying salt rock layers in the drilling process of water-based drilling fluid, and has practical significance.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is:

[0008] S2: judging the lithology according to the calculated lithology identification factor Q.
[0009] Optionally, in step S1, the drilling fluid conductivity value is three times the measured value.
[0010] Optionally, the formula in step S1 is:
[0011]
[0012] wherein Q is the lithology identification factor, dimensionless; δ is the drilling fluid conductivity value, dimensionless; ρ is the drilling fluid density value, dimensionless; WOB is the weight on bit value, dimensionless; ROP is the rate of penetration value, dimensionless; and TQP is the rotary table torque value, dimensionless.

[0014] Optionally, in step S1, the drilling fluid conductivity, the drilling fluid density, the weight on bit, the rate of penetration and the rotary table torque all use the average of the collected data.
[0015] Optionally, in step S2, when the lithology identification factor Q is greater than or equal to 0.25, it is judged as salt rock.
[0016] Optionally, when the lithology identification factor Q is greater than or equal to 0.1 and less than 0.25, it is judged as mudstone, and when the lithology identification factor Q is less than 0.1, it is judged as gypsum.

The present application is based on the characteristics of salt rock under water-based drilling fluid, and an empirical formula is constructed by optimizing lithological sensitive parameters: drilling pressure, drilling time, drilling fluid conductivity, drilling fluid density and rotary table torque. Due to the characteristics of salt rock that is easy to dissolve in water-based mud, it will cause the drilling pressure to decrease and the drilling time to speed up; after the salt rock dissolves in the drilling fluid, it will cause the ion content of the drilling fluid to increase, resulting in an increase in the conductivity and density of the drilling fluid; due to the dissolution of salt rock, the amount of annular returning cuttings is significantly reduced, the rotating resistance of the drilling tool is reduced, and the torque is reduced. The present application can provide a reference for the development of drilling process measures in a timely manner, reduce the probability of drilling pipe sticking, and at the same time solve the defect that the accuracy of qualitative identification is largely dependent on the operation experience of the operator.

[0032] The application will be described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 Based on the characteristics of salt rock under water-based drilling fluid, the lithology sensitive parameters are preferably selected, specifically, the drilling pressure, drilling time, drilling fluid conductivity, drilling fluid density and rotary table torque, which are all parameters that can be measured during drilling.
[0034] Due to the characteristics of salt rock that is easy to dissolve in water-based mud, the drilling pressure decreases and the drilling time accelerates. After the salt rock dissolves in the drilling fluid, the ion content of the drilling fluid increases, causing the drilling fluid conductivity and density to increase. The amount of annular upward cuttings significantly decreases due to the dissolution of salt rock, and the rotating resistance of the drilling tool decreases, causing the torque to decrease.
[0035] The method for quantitatively identifying salt rock layers in drilling according to the application comprises the following steps:
[0036] S1: Calculate the product of the logarithms of the drilling fluid conductivity, the drilling fluid density and the drilling pressure values, and divide the product by the product of the drilling time value and the rotary table torque value to obtain a lithology identification factor Q;
[0037] S2: Determine the lithology according to the calculated lithology identification factor Q.
[0038] Optionally, in step S1, the drilling fluid conductivity value is three times the measured value.
[0039] Specifically, the formula in step S1 is:
[0040]
[0041] Wherein, Q is a lithology identification factor, dimensionless; delta is a drilling fluid conductivity value, dimensionless; rho is a drilling fluid density value, dimensionless; WOB is a drilling pressure value, dimensionless; ROP is a drilling time value, dimensionless; TQP is a rotary table torque value, dimensionless.
[0042] Specifically, the drilling fluid conductivity, drilling fluid density, drilling pressure, drilling time and rotary table torque in the formula all adopt the average value of the collected data.
[0043] Specifically, the judgment method is shown in the following table 1. Using the Q determination standard, the actual data application is carried out to identify the salt rock layer.
[0044] Table 1
[0045] Serial number Lithology Q value 1 Salt rock Q≥0.25 2 Mudstone 0.1≤Q<0.25 3 Gypsum Q<0.1
[0046] When the lithology identification factor Q is greater than or equal to 0.25, it is judged as salt rock. When the lithology identification factor Q is greater than or equal to 0.1 and less than 0.25, it is judged as mudstone. When the lithology identification factor Q is less than 0.1, it is judged as gypsum.

[0048] Due to the characteristics of salt rock that is easy to dissolve in water-based mud, it will cause the drilling pressure to decrease and the drilling time to accelerate; after the salt rock dissolves in the drilling fluid, it will cause the ion content of the drilling fluid to increase, causing the drilling fluid conductivity and density to increase; due to the dissolution of salt rock, the annular return of cuttings is significantly reduced, the rotating resistance of the drilling tool is reduced, and the torque is reduced.
[0049] The present application can provide reference for timely drilling process measures, reduce the probability of drilling sticking, and at the same time solve the defect that the current qualitative identification accuracy largely depends on the operation experience of the operator.
[0050] The device for quantitatively identifying salt rock layer of the present application comprises:
[0051] The calculation module is used for calculating the product of the logarithm of the drilling fluid conductivity, the drilling fluid density and the drilling pressure value, and dividing the product result by the product of the drilling time value and the rotary table torque value to obtain the lithology identification factor Q.
[0052] The judgment module is used for judging the lithology according to the calculated lithology identification factor Q.
[0053] An electronic device comprises a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements the steps of the method for quantitatively identifying salt rock layers in drilling.
