[0062] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0063] In oil and gas drilling engineering, formation drillability calculation and evaluation are crucial indicators for analyzing mechanical drilling speed and selecting drill bits. Various methods exist for calculation and evaluation, including experimental methods, drilling speed reverse estimation, the DC index (formation drillability index), sonic transit time calculation, and cuttings hardness methods. However, these methods all have limitations and time delays, making it difficult to ensure accuracy and reliability. While drillability determination is based on laboratory micro-drilling experiments, these methods are limited by various factors, such as not reflecting actual underground temperature and pressure conditions, difficulty in establishing continuous profiles, and high manpower and resource consumption. Therefore, domestic and international petroleum workers have conducted research using well logging interpretation and in-situ cuttings analysis to study formation drillability. Currently, the most widely used method in engineering is to establish formation drillability profiles using sonic transit time data from well logging data. In the Hongxing work area, sonic transit time and density data in the logging data can only be obtained after each drilling cycle, resulting in poor timeliness. Therefore, reducing the calculation bias of formation drillability, improving drilling efficiency, and achieving drilling optimization based on the drillability of shale gas reservoirs in mudstone and shale formations are problems that need to be solved in this field.
[0064] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this invention discloses a drilling optimization method based on the drillability of shale reservoir mudstone in shale gas wells, which may specifically include:
[0065] Step S11: Calculate the mud content of the mudstone in the shale gas well reservoir using logging-while-drilling data to obtain the mud content of the mudstone.
[0066] In this embodiment, an experimental analysis of influencing factors of shale was conducted to determine the main controlling factors affecting the drillability of shale; the relative gamma values of shale were calculated using the measured gamma curves from the logging-while-drilling data to obtain the relative gamma values; the mud content of shale was calculated based on the relative gamma values; the main controlling factors include mud content, formation angle between the well trajectory and the formation, and predicted geostress values.
[0067] The formula for calculating the relative value of gamma is:
[0068] ;
[0069] Where C is the relative gamma value, and GR is the logging-while-drilling gamma value. and These represent the maximum and minimum gamma values in pure mudstone, respectively.
[0070] The formula for calculating clay content is:
[0071] ;
[0072] in, 2.1 represents the mud content, and 2.1 represents the empirical coefficient for stratigraphic age in the study area.
[0073] This application, based on reservoir core drillability experiments, analyzes factors affecting drillability, identifying shale purity, well trajectory angle with the formation, and formation stress as the main controlling factors influencing shale drillability. Well foundation, drilling gamma ray, and well trajectory data are standardized. Standardized well foundation information is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, this provides a reference for subsequent fitting method analysis and calculation of drillability. The specific steps are as follows:
[0074] 1. Keeping other factors constant or the same, multiple drillability tests were conducted on cores of shale and mudstone with different silica and ash contents from the early reservoirs in the study area. The results showed that drillability is closely related to the purity of shale and mudstone, and the higher the purity of shale and mudstone, the better the drillability.
[0075] 2. Keeping other factors constant, multiple drillability tests were conducted on core samples of the same type of mudstone and shale from the previous reservoir in the study area under different pressures (0 MPa, 5 MPa, 10 MPa, 15 MPa, 20 MPa) to simulate the effect of in-situ stress. The results showed a close relationship between drillability and formation in-situ stress; the lower the compressive stress under compressive stress, the better the formation's drillability. The experimental data show the relationship between drillability and core compression as follows: Figure 3 As shown;
[0076] 3. Keeping other factors constant or the same, take the same type of mudstone and shale core from the previous reservoir in the study area and conduct multiple drilling drillability tests at different angles (0-90 degrees) with the formation under the same pressure compaction. It was found that drillability is closely related to the drilling angle. Among the drilling angles (0-90 degrees), the drilling drillability of the formation is better at (15-30 degrees) and (60-75 degrees).
[0077] 4. Since the drilling of the reservoir section in the study area adopted relatively mature drilling technology, the drilling pressure range, drill bit diameter, rotation speed and mud density are relatively fixed. Therefore, these variables that affect drillability are not considered in this method.
[0078] This application combines logging-while-drilling (LOD) data with gamma ray curves to calculate the mudstone content of the current formation's mudstone and shale. It only requires continuously updating the software in real-time with the field LOD curves, especially the gamma ray curves, replacing the old data. The old data is standardized LOD curve information, as shown in the example below. Figure 4 As shown, a purity curve for shale is then automatically calculated, revealing that the purity of the shale at the bottom of the well is approximately 90%. The specific process is as follows:
[0079] 1. Import the field logging data, mainly the gamma ray measured curves, into the data management module of the drillability calculation software in real time;
[0080] 2. Based on the calculation formula for gamma relative values, a purity function curve for mudstone and shale in the horizontal section of the reservoir is established. The purity function curve is shown in the figure below. Figure 5 As shown, the clay content is calculated based on the formula for clay content. The relationship between drillability and shale purity in the experimental data is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the mud content calculated by logging-while-drilling gamma is as follows: Figure 7 As shown.
[0081] Step S12: Determine the formation angle between the well trajectory of the mudstone and shale and the formation.
[0082] In this embodiment, the dip angle of the mudstone and shale formation is calculated using the pre-set top-bottom relationship of the guiding layer or the gamma symmetric back-cut method; the formation dip angle is then used to calculate the formation angle between the well trajectory and the formation.
[0083] The formula for calculating the dip angle of a stratum is:
[0084] ;
[0085] in, The dip angle of the strata. and Let A and B be the perpendicular depths of the two symmetrical points A and B in the symmetrical tangent. and These are the horizontal displacements of two symmetrical points A and B in the symmetrical back-cutting process;
[0086] The formula for calculating the stratigraphic angle is:
[0087] ;
[0088] in, DEVI is the formation angle, and DEVI is the well inclination angle.
[0089] This application involves target well horizontal section steering tracking and calculating the formation angle between the well trajectory and the formation, specifically including the following steps:
[0090] 1. Calculate the formation dip angle based on the stratigraphic top-bottom relationship or the gamma-ray symmetric back-cut method (taking two symmetrical points A and B as examples); the formation dip angle calculation process during horizontal well geological steering is as follows: Figure 8 As shown;
[0091] 2. Calculate the drilling angle based on the currently measured well inclination angle, and use the drilling angle as the formation angle between the well trajectory and the formation.
[0092] For example, based on the vertical depth and horizontal displacement of the two nearest symmetrical back-cutting points A and B at the bottom of the well, the current formation dip angle is calculated to be -8.2°. o The current well inclination angle is 98 degrees. o Then the current drilling angle Among them, the relationship between drillability and drilling angle in the experimental data is as follows: Figure 9 As shown.
[0093] Step S13: Perform numerical simulation of the stress field in the well area of mudstone and shale to establish a geostress prediction plan of the target well platform and the bottom boundary of the surrounding reservoir in the well area, and determine the geostress prediction value from the geostress prediction plan.
[0094] In this embodiment, data on the structural surface, layer velocity surface, thickness, density, and P-wave / S-wave velocity ratio of shale are obtained. Using thin plate theory and based on the structural surface, layer velocity surface, thickness, density, and P-wave / S-wave velocity ratio data, numerical simulation of the stress field in the shale well area is performed to establish a geostress prediction plan of the target well platform and the bottom boundary of the surrounding reservoir in the well area. The geostress prediction value is determined from the geostress prediction plan.
[0095] This application, during the drilling process of the target well, uses regional seismic geophysical data and thin-plate theory to numerically simulate the stress field in the well area, and establishes a geostress prediction plan of the target well platform and the bottom boundary of the surrounding reservoir in the well area. Specifically, it includes the following steps:
[0096] 1. In regional seismic geophysical data, collect structural surfaces of the target well's target layer frame area, including layer velocity surface, thickness, density, and P-wave and S-wave velocity ratio data;
[0097] 2. In the drilling formation, import the above five types of data into the 3D seismic body data or 2D seismic profile loading module. Using thin-plate theory, perform qualitative numerical simulation of the stress field along the well design trajectory in the well area. Establish a geostress prediction plan of the target well platform and the surrounding reservoir bottom boundary in the well area, determine the predicted geostress values, and the geostress prediction plan around the well in the reservoir section of the study area is shown below. Figure 10 As shown.
[0098] Step S14: Perform drillability calculations on the mud content, formation angle, and predicted geostress value to obtain the formation drillability grade value, and use the formation drillability grade value to optimize the drilling process of mudstone and shale in real time.
[0099] In this embodiment, the drilling capability is calculated by using the fitting method and the drillability rating calculation formula to calculate the clay content, formation angle, and predicted ground stress.
[0100] The formula for calculating the drillability grade is as follows:
[0101] ;
[0102] in, This represents the formation's drillability rating. The content of clay, The angle between the strata is denoted by denoted by Geos, which is the predicted value of the geostress. When Geos is tensile stress, - is selected, and when it is compressive stress, + is selected.
[0103] This application uses a fitting method to clarify the relationship between various controlling factors and drillability during the drilling process of the target well, and establishes a multi-factor calculation method for the drillability of shale gas well reservoirs and mudstone, specifically including the following steps:
[0104] 1. Using experimental data and mathematical statistics, it was found that the formation drillability rating is negatively correlated with the clay content, negatively correlated with the predicted geostress value, and exhibits a fluctuating relationship with the absolute value of the cosine of the formation angle.
[0105] 2. The drilling level of the formation was obtained by fitting method.
[0106] This invention fully utilizes logging data (natural gamma ray logging values), steering data (formation dip and drilling angle), and pre-exploration geophysical wellbore stress predictions during drilling in the study area. Through experimental monitoring, mathematical statistics, and linear fitting, it identifies the variation patterns of dependent variables and drillability, deriving a real-time calculation method for the drillability grade of the formation in the study area. Based on these variation patterns, the predicted drillability grade of the formation to be drilled is corrected, continuously improving the accuracy of the reservoir drillability grade calculation. This invention is simple to operate, easy to promote and apply, and can effectively reduce the calculation error of reservoir drillability in the study area. Most importantly, it can perform real-time calculations during drilling, resulting in high efficiency. It also offers unique advantages in selecting drillable small layers, geological steering of subsequent drilling sections, and drill bit selection during drilling.
[0107] In this embodiment, the shale content of the shale gas well reservoir is calculated using logging-while-drilling data to obtain the shale content; the formation angle between the well trajectory and the formation is determined; the stress field of the shale well area is numerically simulated to establish a geostress prediction plan of the target well platform and the surrounding reservoir bottom boundary, and the geostress prediction value is determined from the geostress prediction plan; the drillability is calculated based on the shale content, the formation angle, and the geostress prediction value to obtain the formation drillability level, and the drilling process of the shale is optimized in real time using the formation drillability level. This application introduces the mud content of shale, the formation angle between the trajectory and the formation, and the predicted value of in-situ stress during the drilling process to calculate the formation drillability, thereby obtaining a formation drillability grade value. The formation drillability grade value is used to optimize the drilling process of shale in real time, reduce the deviation of formation drillability calculation, improve drilling efficiency, realize drilling optimization based on the drillability of shale gas well reservoirs, select the best drillable small layers in real time, guide the geological steering and drill bit selection of the well section to be drilled, thereby improving drilling efficiency and ensuring the smooth progress of drilling operations.
