Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of natural gas hydrate exploitation, and particularly relates to a natural gas hydrate exploitation method and system based on color identification. BACKGROUND
[0002] Due to the significant difference in hydrate resource distribution, when formulating an exploitation scheme, local test production data need to be combined and analyzed through numerical simulation. For areas without test production, test production data of adjacent areas can be referred to or simulation analysis can be performed.
[0003] The simulation of hydrate reservoirs requires the establishment of corresponding geological reservoir parameters. When establishing a model of geological reservoir parameters, the commonly used methods of exploitation include drilling, profiling, geophysical data analysis, and analysis techniques based on discrete points. These traditional methods have encountered challenges in dealing with actual reservoir parameters, such as in limited reference literature parameters, it is difficult to derive accurate heterogeneous parameters. In the study of natural gas hydrate exploitation, homogeneous models, as a model consistent with statistics, are commonly used to simulate the simulation of hydrate exploitation. This model assumes that the physical parameters in the study area are uniform and consistent, simplifying the complex geological conditions and physical and chemical processes, making simulation relatively easy to perform. Wang et al. (Wang R, Zhang J, Wang T, et al. Numerical Simulation of Improved Gas Production from Oceanic Gas Hydrate Accumulation by Permeability Enhancement Associated with Geomechanical Response[J]. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023, 11(7): 1468.) used a homogeneous model to simulate the South China Sea hydrate reservoir. This model assumes that the physical parameters in the study area are uniform and consistent, while the geological conditions in nature are often extremely complex, making it difficult to exist a truly homogeneous hydrate reservoir. The formation of hydrates is influenced by the surrounding temperature, pressure, gas source, gas composition, and other factors, and the formation of the region is not fixed. A large amount of field exploration data shows that there are significant differences in initial reservoir parameters of different locations and different components, which makes the homogeneous model have many limitations in practical application. When simulating calculations, the homogeneous model only uses the average value of the parameters to give the entire reservoir, ignoring the influence of spatial heterogeneity on fluid flow, heat transfer, and chemical reactions. The hydrate reservoir in the Shenhu area of the South China Sea has obvious non-uniform characteristics, and the occurrence of hydrates is diverse and varies in thickness. Logging data indicates that thin or dispersed hydrates, thick hydrates, and dispersed hydrates appear near the well, and several types of hydrates appear alternately in depth. Therefore, when using a homogeneous model for calculation, there are inevitably various limitations, which may lead to a large deviation between the simulation results and the actual situation, affecting the output effect and exploitation efficiency of hydrates. In contrast, the heterogeneous model can more realistically restore the physical parameters of the reservoir and be closer to the actual geological conditions.
[0004] To establish a heterogeneous model, Tamaki et al. (Tamaki M, Suzuki K, Fujii, T, etc. Prediction and validation of gas hydrate saturation distribution in the eastern Nankai Trough, Japan: Geostatistical approach integrating well-log and 3D seismic data[J]. Interpretation, 2016, 4(1):SA83-SA94.) used well logging data and 3D seismic data as input data, and the seismic data provided the lateral hydrate saturation distribution information, and the well logging data provided the vertical hydrate saturation distribution information. By integrating well logging data and seismic data through geostatistical methods, the sequential Gaussian and cokriging method was applied to generate a heterogeneous natural gas hydrate saturation map. In the case of good correlation between the two variables, the well logging data obtained from exploration and production tests were used as the main variable, and the inverted seismic impedance data were used as the secondary variable for simulation. Since the heterogeneous hydrate saturation parameters obtained by this method cannot be obtained through public channels, researchers face a large data obstacle when analyzing the hydrates in this area, and have to continue to use the homogeneous model to study the hydrate distribution and exploitation potential in this area. For the heterogeneous hydrate reservoirs whose distribution maps have been published, it is still necessary to spend a lot of effort to re-do the geological modeling using the existing methods, which usually includes multiple links such as data collection, parameter correction and model optimization, and is time-consuming and laborious. SUMMARY

This method can invert heterogeneous reservoir parameters according to geological pictures and other information, realize digital modeling of geological characteristics, and is especially suitable for geological environments with complex hydrate distribution and significant heterogeneous characteristics.

[0045] As an embodiment, the modeling of the Shenhu hydrate reservoir in the South China Sea is taken as an example, which specifically includes the following steps: S2.1, collect natural gas hydrate reservoir information, and collect information such as geological pictures disclosed in the literature.
[0046] The natural gas hydrate reservoir information includes thermal, hydraulic, mechanical, and chemical related geological parameters in the thermal-hydraulic-mechanical-chemical (THMC) process of the hydrate, including key material parameters such as average hydrate saturation , average water saturation , average gas saturation , average thermal conductivity , average porosity , average permeability , average Young's modulus , and average solubility Important parameters; geological picture information includes the distribution cloud of reservoir parameter information. Save the hydrate reservoir information as a geological reference parameter text, and save the geological picture information as a picture file.
[0047] Take the South China Sea Shenhu hydrate reservoir as an example, first model the heterogeneous hydrate saturation, collect comprehensive information on heterogeneous hydrate saturation, especially related geological logging data and cloud distribution images, according to the literature of Ye et al. (Ye J.-l., Qin X.-w., Xie W.-w., et al. The second natural gas hydrate production test in the South China Sea[J]. China Geology, 2020, 3(2): 197-209.) the average saturation of hydrate in this area is 0.233, and the hydrate saturation distribution is as shown in Figure 2 (a) of.
[0048] S2.2.1, record and save the spatial distribution cloud of natural gas hydrate reservoir information at different depths and positions in the literature and other published information. As shown in Figure 2 (a) of, download and save the heterogeneous hydrate saturation cloud.
[0049] S2.2.2, load the spatial distribution cloud using image processing software, such as inserting pictures using office software such as PowerPoint.
[0050] S2.2.3, determine the working area in the cloud and divide the grid: determine the effective recognition working area in the image software by selecting four boundary lines, the four boundary lines are as shown in the rectangular frame in Figure 2 (a), along the frame to crop and save as a new picture as the working area, the area outside the boundary line is not identified. Divide the grid unit according to the horizontal and vertical directions in the working area, first coarse division, then smaller grid division.
[0051] S2.2.4, noise reduction processing is performed on the identified noise signals and selected noise signals.
[0052] There are noise signals in the working area, these noise signal elements include irrelevant marks, messy lines or redundant text, these elements are often irrelevant to the main information to be analyzed, and will affect the accuracy of the results; for noise that is difficult to eliminate, non-local mean denoising is used to preserve the grid edges and key details. Finally, quality check is performed on the denoised image, including comparing the images before and after denoising, confirming the preservation of key details and the effectiveness of noise removal, to achieve the best effect. The effect after automatic recognition and denoising is as followsFigure 3 As shown.
[0053] S2.2.5. Identify and capture RGB values within the working area. RGB values can be obtained through input or automatically captured by selecting a location in the graphic, and then assigned a corresponding identifier. For ease of operation, natural numbers are used as identifiers. Obtain the RGB values of the color of each grid area through software input or automatic capture, and mark each RGB value with an identifier, generating a matrix-distributed identifier text. The first selected RGB value is marked as 0, the second selected RGB value is marked as 1, and so on. The selected RGB values are marked as -1; the identifier text of the generated matrix distribution is as follows Figure 4 As shown, this is denoted as the hydrate saturation identifier text.
[0054] In one embodiment, this embodiment first selects a white color stop, whose RGB value is (255, 255, 255). White is usually used as the background color. Then, a color corresponding to the working area is selected. For example, the working area's color is a gradient from red to blue, with 20 color stops. The RGB values of these 20 color stops are (255, 15, 0), (255, 46, 0), (255, 78, 0), (255, 109, 0), and (255, 140, 0). (255, 172, 0), (255, 203, 0), (255, 235, 0), (243, 255, 0), (212, 255, 0), (180, 255, 0), (149, 255, 0), (117, 255, 0), (86, 255, 0), (55, 255, 0), (23, 255, 0), (0, 255, 0), (0, 255, 39), (0, 255, 70), (0, 255, 102). After color recognition, if some color marks do not have corresponding colors in the image, two color marks are directly added to the image. For example, the RGB values of the two color marks are (68, 181, 73) and (0, 168, 78). These 23 color marks are represented by 0~22 respectively.
[0055] S2.2.6 Map color features to reservoir parameters, statistically analyze the probability distribution of reservoir parameters corresponding to different color features, and replace the corresponding identifiers with the corresponding reservoir parameters.
[0056] The grid within the working area is labeled with identifiers 0 through 22. The weight of each identifier in the hydrate saturation identifier text is calculated, with identifier 0 excluded from the statistics as it represents a hydrate saturation of 0. The weights corresponding to identifiers 1 through 22 are denoted as... ,in Average hydrate saturation The value is 0.233 (this value is obtained from step S2.1), and the maximum saturation of the hydrate is set to... Then the first Each identifier corresponds to saturation. identifier The weight is ,So , and thus The specific saturation values of identifiers 1 through 22 are calculated. Each identifier in the hydrate saturation identifier text is converted into a hydrate saturation value using color recognition. The final hydrate saturation value is then generated as shown below. Figure 2 As shown in (b), cross-sectional views with depths of 1477m and 1515m and longitudinal distances of 603m and 848m were drawn and recorded as hydrate saturation files.

[0059] The parameters in the corresponding reservoir text are imported into the corresponding positions in the geological module of the hydrate simulation software, numerical simulation is carried out, and the simulation results are fitted with the test production numerical simulation results disclosed in the literature. According to the literature of Ye et al. (Ye J.-l., Qin X.-w., Xie W.-w., et al. The second natural gas hydrate production test in the South China Sea[J]. China Geology, 2020, 3(2): 197-209.), the second hydrate test was carried out in Shenhu sea area, and the average daily gas production was 2.87x10 4 m 3 , and the total gas production in 30 days reached 86.14x10 4 m 3 Taking the gas production as the fitting target, the corresponding heterogeneous geological model is obtained after adjustment, and the geological modeling of the heterogeneous hydrate reservoir parameters is completed.
