Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration and development, and particularly relates to a transient electromagnetic wave logging response calculation method and device, an electronic device and a medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] The transient electromagnetic logging technology has the core advantages of penetrating high conductivity casing to obtain the real conductivity of the formation and detecting the casing quality by metal detection of the casing well, and thus occupies a key position in production well evaluation and provides important technical support for formation parameter interpretation and casing integrity evaluation. At present, the transient electromagnetic logging numerical simulation mainly includes a frequency domain conversion method and a direct time domain method. The frequency domain conversion method needs to solve the full frequency electromagnetic field first, and then obtain the time domain solution through frequency-time conversion. The direct time domain method directly solves in the time domain. However, in the actual application of the frequency-time conversion algorithm, the fast Fourier transform needs to meet the sampling theorem, and multiple sampling leads to low calculation efficiency. The sine and cosine transform algorithm has high precision but slow operation speed. The Gaver-Stehfest algorithm has high speed but insufficient precision. In the frequency domain-time domain conversion process of the numerical filtering algorithm and the fast Fourier transform, a large number of frequency sampling points are needed, and the frequency field corresponding to different times needs to be repeatedly calculated.

[0036] S110. Determine the target function from at least two reference functions associated with the radial stratification model of the target casing well. The radial stratification model of the target casing well is a radial stratification formation resistivity model constructed based on the wellbore parameters, casing parameters, and formation parameters corresponding to the target casing well. A three-component transmitting coil and a three-component receiving coil are configured in the middle of the wellbore of the radial stratification model of the target casing well. The at least two reference functions include a first function and a second function. The first function is used to indicate the frequency-time transformation equation at the receiving coil of the radial stratification model of the target casing well when the transmitting coil of the radial stratification model of the target casing well, obtained through spectrum analysis, is excited by a step current as the transmitting source of transient electromagnetic logging. The frequency-time transformation equation of the first function includes a term indicating the derivative of the time-domain magnetic field strength with respect to time and an integrand term using the frequency-domain magnetic field strength function and trigonometric functions. The second function is obtained by introducing a cubic spline interpolation method to approximately fit the frequency-domain magnetic field strength function in the integrand term of the first function into a polynomial interpolation function.
[0037] A radially stratified formation resistivity model for a target casing well refers to a radially stratified formation resistivity model established by accurately characterizing the wellbore, casing, and formation parameters of the target casing well in a radially stratified manner, centered on the wellbore's central axis. See also... Figure 2 The target casing well radial stratification model includes at least the wellbore, casing, and formation, wherein the casing conductivity is greater than 100%. The conductivity of the wellbore mud is approximately The formation conductivity is approximately The target casing well radial stratification model has a three-component transmitting coil and a three-component receiving coil configured in the middle of the wellbore, which are used for transmitting and receiving current excitation, respectively.
[0038] The reference function can refer to the frequency-time transformation equation used to transform the frequency-domain induced signal of the target casing well radial layering model into the time-domain induced signal. In this embodiment, the target casing well radial layering model is associated with at least two reference functions, including a first function and a second function, which correspond to the integrand form under different approximation strategies, respectively.
[0039] The first function can refer to the transformation equations of the time-domain and frequency-domain induced signals under step current excitation determined based on spectral analysis theory. The integrand in the first function includes the imaginary part of the frequency-domain magnetic field strength function and a trigonometric oscillation kernel; the integral result is the derivative of the time-domain magnetic field strength with respect to time. The second function can refer to the frequency-time transformation equation formed by locally approximating the frequency-domain magnetic field strength function to a polynomial interpolation function using cubic spline interpolation, based on the first function.
[0040] By constructing a radial stratification model of the target casing well based on the parameters of the target casing well, the environment of the target casing well can be accurately characterized. Based on the radial stratification model of the target casing well and at least two reference functions associated with the radial stratification model of the target casing well, an objective function is determined. The objective function is used to realize the frequency-time transformation of the transient electromagnetic response in the radial stratification model of the target casing well.
[0041] As an optional but not limited implementation, the transient electromagnetic wave logging response calculation method provided in this embodiment further includes steps A1-A3:
[0042] Step A1: Construct a radial stratification model of the target casing well for transient electromagnetic wave logging. The radial stratification formation structure of the target casing well remains unchanged in both the circumferential and longitudinal directions.
[0043] See Figure 2 Based on the radial stratification model of the target casing well, the central axis of the wellbore can be used to establish a spatial direction definition in a cylindrical coordinate system. This definition can be used to clarify the spatial distribution of physical quantities such as electromagnetic fields and formation structure. The spatial direction definition in the cylindrical coordinate system includes axial, radial, and circumferential directions. The axial direction can refer to a linear direction coinciding with the central axis of the wellbore, i.e. Figure 2 The z-direction is shown; radial direction can refer to the radial dimension extending outward from the center axis of the wellbore along a direction perpendicular to the axis, i.e. Figure 2 The direction r is shown; the circumferential direction can refer to the circumferential direction of rotation around the central axis of the wellbore, a ring-shaped direction perpendicular to both the radial and axial directions, i.e. Figure 2 As shown Direction. The radial stratification structure of the target casing well remains unchanged in both the circumferential and longitudinal directions, accurately reproducing the stratification characteristics along the radial direction. This ensures the physical authenticity and rationality of the target casing well's radial stratification model and effectively reflects the electromagnetic propagation characteristics of the formation.
[0044] Step A2: For the radial layered model of the target casing well, the frequency domain electromagnetic field of the three-dimensional radial layer is converted into a one-dimensional spectral domain field by Fourier transform to obtain the frequency domain electromagnetic field spectral domain expansion equation of the radial layered medium. The pseudo-analytical solution of the frequency domain electromagnetic field spectral domain expansion equation of the radial layered medium is solved by Maxwell's equations to obtain the distribution of frequency domain electric field intensity and frequency domain magnetic field intensity.
[0045] Since the radial stratification structure and circumferential and vertical formation properties remain unchanged in the target casing well radial stratification model, therefore see Figure 2 ,exist In the coordinate system, the directional wave number k is introduced along the axis through Fourier transform. zExpanding circumferentially into circumferential harmonics v, the three-dimensional radial layer frequency domain electromagnetic field is transformed into a one-dimensional spectral domain field. Solving the electromagnetic field by dimensionality reduction avoids the enormous computational burden caused by high-dimensional solutions or finite difference methods, thus improving the speed and accuracy of frequency domain electromagnetic field solutions.
[0046] Specifically, the frequency-domain electromagnetic field spectral expansion equation of the radially layered medium can be expressed as: Where p represents direction, i.e. Coordinate direction, v represents the circumferential harmonic number, k z E is the wave number in the z-direction. p H p For the scalar electric and magnetic fields in different directions at the field point, , The electric and magnetic fields in the spectral domain are represented. After Fourier transform, the spectral field... , and The relationship between z and circumferential harmonic components is reflected by the superposition of circumferential harmonic components and the wavenumber integral in the z direction. The relationship is as follows. By solving the pseudo-analytical solution of the frequency domain electromagnetic field spectral domain expansion equation of the radially layered medium using Maxwell's equations, the distribution of the frequency domain electric field intensity and frequency domain magnetic field intensity can be obtained.
[0047] Step A3: Configure the transmitted wave waveform of the transmitting coil in the radial layering model of the target casing well as the lower step current, and then construct the frequency-time transformation equation satisfied by the receiving coil of the radial layering model of the target casing well under the excitation of the lower step current based on the Fourier transform theory in spectrum analysis, so as to obtain the first function.
[0048] The lower step current refers to the current waveform of the transmitting coil outputting current that drops instantaneously from a preset stable value to zero and remains constant. The first function is the frequency-time transformation equation corresponding to the receiving coil in the radial layering model of the target casing well under the excitation of the lower step current. In the first function, by performing a continuous Gaussian integral on the frequency domain magnetic field strength obtained by pseudo-analysis, the derivative of the time domain magnetic field strength with respect to time can be obtained, which can preserve the field distribution characteristics of the entire frequency domain.
[0049] Specifically, the first function can be expressed as ,in, Represents angular frequency. This indicates the time it takes for the receiving coil to sense the transient electromagnetic wave response signal and complete signal acquisition. Represents the frequency domain magnetic field strength, Im represents the value of... The imaginary part, Represents the magnetic field strength in the time domain. It represents the derivative of the magnetic field strength in the time domain with respect to time.
[0050] As an optional but not limited implementation, the transient electromagnetic wave logging response calculation method provided in this embodiment further includes steps B1-B2:
[0051] Step B1: Separate the non-oscillatory frequency-domain magnetic field strength function and the oscillatory trigonometric function included in the integrand term of the frequency-time transformation equation of the first function.
[0052] The integrand can be the composite expression within the integral sign in the frequency-time transform equation of the first function, consisting of the product of a frequency-domain magnetic field strength function that varies smoothly with frequency and a rapidly oscillating trigonometric function. The non-oscillating frequency-domain magnetic field strength function is relatively smooth in the integrand, and it changes monotonically or slowly with angular frequency. The oscillating trigonometric function oscillates more strongly with increasing frequency and exhibits periodicity. Therefore, the oscillation of the integrand originates from the oscillating trigonometric function, which is the fundamental reason for the slow convergence of the integrand during direct integration. While maintaining the integration path, the product can be separated from the oscillating trigonometric function using the property of product decomposition. This allows treating the non-oscillating frequency-domain magnetic field strength function and the oscillating trigonometric function as two independent integrands, ensuring the integrity of electromagnetic information while isolating the oscillating behavior. This enables targeted processing of the functions based on their different characteristics.
[0053] Step B2: Introduce the cubic spline interpolation method to approximate the non-oscillating frequency domain magnetic field strength function part of the integrand term, and at the same time obtain the strict equation solution of the oscillating trigonometric function in the integrand term through algebraic transformation to obtain the second function.
[0054] Cubic spline interpolation refers to a function fitting method that uses piecewise cubic polynomials to locally smooth the non-oscillating frequency domain magnetic field strength function at selected frequency points, resulting in a continuous derivative of the overall curve of the non-oscillating frequency domain magnetic field strength function and controllable fitting error. A strictly equal solution refers to a closed algebraic result obtained by using integration tables or residue operations on the oscillating trigonometric function part, without any approximations. The second function can refer to the frequency-time transformation equation formed by replacing the non-oscillating frequency domain magnetic field strength function in the integrand term of the first function with a polynomial interpolation function and combining it with the oscillating trigonometric function.
[0055] Based on the separation of the non-oscillatory frequency-domain magnetic field strength function and the oscillatory trigonometric function in the integrand term, cubic spline interpolation is performed on the non-oscillatory frequency-domain magnetic field strength function. The resulting polynomial interpolation function is then used to replace the non-oscillatory frequency-domain magnetic field strength function. The replacement process can be expressed as follows: ,in, The first function is a polynomial interpolation function. The integrand in the second function is the product of the polynomial interpolation function and the oscillatory trigonometric function. The integration interval is discretized according to the interpolation node sequence of cubic spline interpolation, and the integral is solved by integration by parts. The obtained integral result is approximately equal to the derivative of the magnetic field strength in the time domain with respect to time.
[0056] Optionally, an interpolation node sequence is constructed for the integration interval at logarithmic intervals. The integration interval is then discretized into multiple sub-intervals based on this sequence, and the integration by parts method is used to solve the problem within each sub-interval. Specifically, the frequency-time transform equation of the second function can be expressed as:
[0057]
[0058] in, N represents the derivative of the magnetic field strength in the time domain with respect to time. N can represent the length of the interpolation node sequence or the number of discrete integration intervals. It is a polynomial interpolation function. , , and These are the first, second, third, and fourth derivatives of the polynomial interpolation function with respect to the angular frequency, respectively. In this embodiment, cubic spline interpolation is used for fitting. It is a cubic polynomial. .
[0059] S120. Determine the time for receiving the signal at the receiving coil in the target casing well. Place a three-component transmitting coil and a three-component receiving coil in the middle of the wellbore of the target casing well.
[0060] The signal reception time refers to the specific moment when the receiving coil in the target casing well senses the transient electromagnetic response signal and completes signal acquisition. A three-component transmitting coil can refer to a coil structure placed in the center of the target casing wellbore that can transmit transient electromagnetic signals along three orthogonal directions in space, enabling omnidirectional electromagnetic excitation. A three-component receiving coil can refer to a coil structure corresponding to the three-component transmitting coil, placed in the center of the wellbore, and capable of receiving electromagnetic response signals along three orthogonal directions in space, comprehensively capturing spatial electromagnetic signal characteristics.
[0061] S130. Substitute the time of the received signal into the objective function to obtain the target result. The target result is the solution result of the derivative term of the time-domain magnetic field strength with respect to time in the frequency-time transformation equation of the objective function.
[0062] The target result refers to the result obtained by substituting the time of the received signal into the objective function and solving for the derivative term of the time-domain magnetic field strength with respect to time in the frequency-time transformation equation. It can be used to reflect the transient electromagnetic response characteristics at the receiving coil during the time of the received signal.
[0063] S140. Determine the induced electromotive force at the receiving coil position at the middle position of the target casing well based on the target result.
[0064] Induced electromotive force (EMF) refers to the electromotive force generated at the two terminals of the receiving coil in the target casing well due to the change in magnetic flux passing through the well. Therefore, based on the target results and the characteristics of the receiving coil itself, the induced EMF at the receiving coil position in the middle of the target casing wellbore is determined. The induced EMF at the receiving coil position in the middle of the target casing wellbore is the core characteristic of transient electromagnetic wave logging response.
[0065] As an optional but not limited implementation, the induced electromotive force at the receiving coil position at the center of the target casing well is determined based on the target result, including steps C1-C2:
[0066] Step C1: Determine the number of turns and area of the receiving coil in the target casing well, as well as the permeability of the receiving coil.
[0067] Step C2: Determine the induced electromotive force at the position of the receiving coil at the middle position of the target casing well based on the number of coil turns and coil area of the receiving coil, the magnetic permeability of the receiving coil, and the target result.
[0068] The number of turns, coil area, and permeability of the receiving coil are all inherent characteristics of the receiving coil itself. The number of turns refers to the total number of turns of the conductor in the coil windings; it is directly proportional to the induced voltage. The coil area refers to the geometric cross-sectional area enclosed by a single turn of the coil winding; it determines the coil's ability to capture magnetic flux. The permeability of the receiving coil refers to the permeability of the material constituting the coil core or frame; it reflects the coil's ability to concentrate magnetic flux and amplifies the induced signal.
[0069] Transient electromagnetic wave logging response refers to the induced electromotive force at the receiving coil position in the middle of the target casing wellbore, expressed by the formula... The calculation can obtain the transient electromagnetic wave logging response at different times for the receiving coil position at the middle position of the target casing wellbore, where, This indicates the time it takes for the receiving coil to sense the transient electromagnetic wave response signal and complete signal acquisition. The induced electromotive force at time t is the value of the receiving coil located at the center of the target casing wellbore. The number of coil turns. The area of the coil, Permeability, The target result is for time t.
[0070] To verify the accuracy of the second function in calculating the transient electromagnetic field of the radial layer model, the second function and the conventional sine transform algorithm SinTran401 were used to analyze the transient electromagnetic wave logging response under different radial two-layer formation conditions.
[0071] For example, a two-layer radial formation model I is established, where the target source distance is 1m, the radial layer interface is 0.5m, and the formation resistivity is... arrive That is, with the wellbore center axis as the center, the formation resistivity within a radial distance of 0.5m is The resistivity of the strata 0.5m away is The transient electromagnetic wave logging response was calculated using the second function and the conventional sine transform algorithm SinTran401, respectively. A comparison chart of the calculation results was then plotted. (See attached image.) Figure 3 The solid black line represents the formation resistivity. The transient electromagnetic wave logging response curve of a homogeneous medium at time t, where the black dashed line represents the formation resistivity. The graph shows the transient electromagnetic wave logging response curves in a uniform medium. The red hollow circles represent the calculation results using the second function, and the blue solid dots represent the calculation results using the SinTran401 algorithm. The overlap of the curves in the graph verifies the accuracy of the calculation results using the second function, proving that the second function is applicable to radial formations ranging from low resistivity to high resistivity.
[0072] A two-layer radial stratigraphic model II was established, with a target source distance of 1m, a radial layer interface of 0.5m, and a stratigraphic resistivity of [missing value]. arrive That is, with the wellbore center axis as the center, the formation resistivity within a radial distance of 0.5m is The resistivity of the strata 0.5m away is The transient electromagnetic wave logging response was calculated using the second function and the conventional sine transform algorithm SinTran401, respectively. A comparison chart of the calculation results was then plotted. (See attached image.) Figure 4 The solid black line represents the formation resistivity. The transient electromagnetic wave logging response curve of a homogeneous medium at time t, where the black dashed line represents the formation resistivity. The transient electromagnetic wave logging response curves in a uniform medium are shown. The red hollow circles represent the calculation results using the second function, and the blue solid dots represent the calculation results using the SinTran401 algorithm. The overlap of the curves in the figure can verify the accuracy of the calculation results of the second function, proving that the second function is applicable to radial formations with resistivity ranging from high to low.
[0073] In addition, to verify the computational efficiency of the second function in the transient electromagnetic field of the radial layer model, the second function and the conventional sine transform algorithm SinTran401 were used to calculate the transient electromagnetic wave logging response under the conditions of homogeneous medium and radial layer non-homogeneous medium, respectively, and the computation time was analyzed.
[0074] For example, when the second function is calculated using the spline interpolation algorithm, the frequency domain sampling points are set to 401 points, consistent with the sine transform algorithm for 401-point numerical filtering. The computation time was recorded under both homogeneous and radially inhomogeneous media conditions, and the results are shown in Table 1. Analysis of Table 1 shows that for homogeneous media, the computational efficiency of the second function and the conventional sine transform algorithm SinTran401 is similar. This is because frequency domain electromagnetic field calculation is faster and less time-consuming in homogeneous media. However, for radially layered media, when the number of time samples is 1, the computation time of the two algorithms is similar; as the number of time samples increases, the computation time of the second function remains basically unchanged, while the computation time of the SinTran401 algorithm increases proportionally to the number of time samples; when the number of samples is 50, the computation time of the SinTran401 algorithm is much greater than that of the second function, proving that the second function is more suitable for radially layered inhomogeneous media under the same frequency domain sampling density and has higher computational efficiency.

The radial stratification model of the target casing well is constructed based on the wellbore parameters, casing parameters, and formation parameters corresponding to the target casing well, which can accurately characterize the radially non-uniform medium and ensure that the electromagnetic response calculation fits the actual physical field distribution, thereby improving the accuracy of the logging response calculation. The frequency-time transformation equation of the first function includes a term indicating the derivative of the time-domain magnetic field strength with respect to time and an integrand term using the frequency-domain magnetic field strength function and trigonometric functions, which can accurately describe the frequency-time transformation characteristics of the transient electromagnetic response. The second function approximates the frequency-domain magnetic field strength function using a cubic spline interpolation method, transforming the integrand into a directly integrateable form. This addresses the high-frequency sampling and convergence control issues required for high-oscillation kernel numerical integration during frequency-time transformation, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the transformation. The receiving time of the signal at the receiving coil in the target casing well is determined and substituted into the objective function to obtain the target result. The target result is the solution of the derivative term of the time-domain magnetic field strength with respect to time in the frequency-time transformation equation of the objective function. Based on the target result, the induced electromotive force at the receiving coil position in the middle of the target casing well is determined. This technical solution solves the problem of balancing efficiency and accuracy in transient electromagnetic wave logging response calculations, achieving high-precision and efficient calculation of transient electromagnetic wave logging responses. This improves the application effect of transient electromagnetic wave logging technology in scenarios such as casing well metal flaw detection and formation evaluation.

This embodiment further optimizes the method of determining the objective function from at least two reference functions associated with the radial stratification model of the target casing well in the above embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the transient electromagnetic wave logging response calculation method provided in this embodiment may include the following process:
[0079] S210. Determine the formation conductivity and magnetic permeability corresponding to the target casing well, as well as the target source distance. The target source distance is the axial distance between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil in the target casing well.
[0080] Formation conductivity refers to the physical quantity that allows the target casing well to conduct electrical current through the formation medium, reflecting the inherent property of the formation medium in conducting electromagnetic signals. Formation magnetic permeability refers to the physical quantity that allows the target casing well to magnetize the formation medium, characterizing the inherent characteristic of the formation medium undergoing magnetization under the influence of an electromagnetic field. Target-source distance refers to the distance along the wellbore axis between the transmitting coil used to transmit transient electromagnetic signals and the receiving coil used to receive electromagnetic response signals in the target casing well. By determining the formation conductivity and magnetic permeability corresponding to the target casing well, as well as the target-source distance, the electromagnetic propagation characteristics around the target casing well can be accurately characterized.
[0081] S220. Based on the formation conductivity and magnetic permeability and the target source distance, determine the integral discriminant factor corresponding to the target casing well. The integral discriminant factor is used to determine the feasibility of solving the integral of the first function by characterizing the oscillation intensity of the integrand term in the first function associated with the radial stratification model of the target casing well.
[0082] The integral discriminant factor refers to a quantitative index constructed based on formation electromagnetic characteristic parameters and coil spatial layout parameters. It can be used to characterize the oscillation intensity of the integrand term in the first function associated with the radial stratification model of the target casing well, thereby determining the feasibility of solving the integral of the first function. The oscillation intensity of the integrand term refers to the degree of fluctuation in the integral value of the integrand term as the angular frequency changes. The oscillation intensity of the integrand term is a key characteristic affecting the efficiency and accuracy of the integral solution. The feasibility of the integral solution refers to the possibility of obtaining the integral result efficiently and accurately by using the corresponding integration method based on the characteristics of the integrand term. The lower the oscillation intensity of the integrand term in the first function associated with the radial stratification model of the target casing well, the higher the feasibility of solving the integral of the first function.
[0083] The oscillation of the integrand term in the first function mainly stems from the trigonometric functions of oscillation, according to the integrand term... The oscillation characteristics of the integrand are as follows: when t is small, the oscillation of the integrand term with the angular frequency is low, and the calculation accuracy of general integration methods such as Gaussian integral is not significantly affected by the sampling density. When t is large, the oscillation of the integrand term with the angular frequency is high, and the calculation accuracy of general integration methods such as Gaussian integral is significantly affected by the sampling density. In order to maintain the calculation accuracy, high-density sampling is required, which seriously affects the calculation efficiency.
[0084] Based on the obtained formation conductivity, magnetic permeability, and target source distance, a preset logical correlation can be used to determine the integral discrimination factor. This allows for a quantitative characterization of the oscillation intensity of the integrand term in the first function and a scientific assessment of the feasibility of solving the integral of the first function, avoiding the limitations of relying on subjective experience to judge the feasibility of the integral solution. Optionally, the preset logical correlation can refer to... ,in, Denotes the integral discriminant factor. Indicates the target-source distance. Indicates the magnetic permeability of the formation. This indicates the electrical conductivity of the formation.
[0085] Optionally, a preset logical relationship is determined based on the Green's function of time-domain response. Specifically, the Green's function of time-domain response can be expressed as follows: ,in, Indicates the target-source distance. Indicates the magnetic permeability of the formation. Let represent the formation conductivity, t represent time, and u(t) represent the step function. When t is greater than or equal to 0, u(t) = 1; when t is less than 0, u(t) = 0. In this embodiment, based on the non-ferromagnetic properties of most formations such as rocks, water, and casing mud at the conventional geophysical logging or laboratory scale, the formation magnetic permeability is... Based on the fact that the amplitude of the Green's function in the time domain response can reflect the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of the electromagnetic field response intensity, the derivative of the Green's function in the time domain response with respect to t is taken, and the derivative is set to zero. The resulting time expression for the formation conductivity, magnetic permeability, and target source distance is then determined as a preset logical correlation.
[0086] S230. Determine the target function from at least two reference functions associated with the radial stratification model of the target casing well, based on the integral discrimination factor corresponding to the target casing well.
[0087] By using the quantitative characterization results of the integral discriminant factor as the screening criterion to determine the objective function, we can avoid situations such as low efficiency in integral solving and excessive error caused by improper function selection. We can also avoid the inability to adapt to the different oscillation characteristics of the integrand term in different time intervals due to the use of a single objective function, thereby improving the computational accuracy and efficiency across the entire time interval.
[0088] As an optional but not limited implementation, the objective function is determined from at least two reference functions associated with the radial stratification model of the target casing well, based on the integral discriminant factor corresponding to the target casing well, including steps D1-D2:
[0089] Step D1: In response to the fact that the time for receiving the signal at the receiving coil in the target casing well is not greater than the integral discrimination factor corresponding to the target casing well, the first function among the at least two reference functions associated with the radial stratification model of the target casing well is determined as the target function.
[0090] When the time of receiving the signal is determined to be no greater than the integral discrimination factor, it indicates that the oscillation intensity of the integrand term of the first function is low and the integral solution is feasible with high efficiency and high accuracy. Therefore, the first function among the at least two reference functions associated with the radial layering model of the target casing well is determined as the target function for subsequent logging response calculation.
[0091] Step D2: In response to the fact that the time for receiving the signal at the receiving coil in the target casing well is greater than the integral discrimination factor corresponding to the target casing well, the second function among the at least two reference functions associated with the radial stratification model of the target casing well is determined as the target function.
[0092] When the time of receiving the signal is greater than the integral discrimination factor, it indicates that the oscillation intensity of the integrand of the first function is high. Direct integration is prone to problems of low efficiency or poor accuracy. The second function, after polynomial approximation, is more suitable for integration in high oscillation scenarios. Therefore, the second function in the reference function associated with the radial layering model of the target casing well is determined as the target function for subsequent logging response calculation.
[0093] To verify that determining the target function from at least two reference functions associated with the radial stratification model of the target casing well based on the integral discriminant factor corresponding to the target casing well can effectively improve the calculation accuracy and efficiency throughout the entire time range, this embodiment provides the results analysis of calculating the transient electromagnetic wave logging response using the second function and Gaussian integral under different formation resistivity and different target source distances.
[0094] Specifically, see Figure 6 The formation resistivity provided in the embodiments of the present invention is The graph compares the results of the transient electromagnetic wave logging response calculated by the second function and the Gaussian integral when the target source distance is 1m. The results from the second function and the Gaussian integral overlap for a portion of the time, and their relative errors are both less than 1% during this period. Before this period, the relative error of the Gaussian integral is significantly smaller than that of the second function; after this period, the relative error of the Gaussian integral is significantly larger than that of the second function. According to the formula... and The integral discriminant factor can be calculated. Furthermore, the obtained integral discriminant factor falls within the time period where the calculation results of the second function and the Gaussian integral overlap. Therefore, when the time is not greater than the integral discriminant factor, using the first function as the objective function (i.e., using the Gaussian integral method) and when the time is greater than the integral discriminant factor, using the second function as the objective function is reasonable and can keep the relative error of the calculation results below 1%, effectively improving the calculation accuracy and efficiency throughout the entire time period.
[0095] See Figure 7 The formation resistivity provided in the embodiments of the present invention is A comparison of the results of the second function and the Gaussian integral used to calculate the transient electromagnetic wave logging response under the condition of a target source distance of 2.5m. Similarly, according to the formula... and The integral discriminant factor can be calculated.

[0101] The technical solution of this invention, by determining the formation conductivity and permeability of the target casing well and the target source distance, can accurately characterize the electromagnetic propagation characteristics around the target casing well. Based on the formation conductivity, permeability, and target source distance, the integration discrimination factor is calculated in real time, which can quantitatively characterize the oscillation intensity of the integrand of the first function, thus providing a basis for judging the feasibility of the integral solution and avoiding the uncertainty caused by subjective experience. Determining the objective function based on the integration discrimination factor corresponding to the target casing well allows the objective function to match the oscillation characteristics of the integrand, avoiding low integration efficiency or insufficient accuracy due to improper selection of the objective function, effectively improving the calculation accuracy and efficiency across the entire time range.
