Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of geophysical exploration, in particular to a method for extracting features of a drill string reference signal in seismic while drilling. BACKGROUND

[0002] In oil and gas field exploration and development, accurately drilling to the target layer is a complex project with high cost and high risk. At present, drilling design mainly relies on surface seismic data and adjacent well information. The uncertainty of the stratum leads to frequent accidents during drilling operations. Seismic while drilling technology uses the vibration of the drill bit at the bottom of the well as a seismic source. The core is to collect the drill bit vibration signal (i.e. "drill string reference signal") through the top of the drill string or downhole sensors, and to extract the stratum impulse response through cross-correlation processing with the data recorded by the surface geophone. The essence is the relative travel time information of the drill bit vibration signal and the surface record. This method can continuously record and control drilling risks in real time without interrupting drilling operations and without the need for additional surface seismic sources.

[0003] However, the drill string reference signal collected by the pilot sensor installed at the top of the drill string is subject to multiple interferences in complex drilling environments: energy attenuation of the drill string transmission, virtual reflection notch effect, multiple wave interference, and fixed frequency noise generated by mud pumps and other equipment. Therefore, the drill string reference signal in seismic while drilling has low signal-to-noise ratio and serious time-frequency aliasing, and the effective components are difficult to identify. It is still a core problem that restricts the accuracy of seismic while drilling to extract the drill bit vibration signal from the mixed noise and transmission effect signal with high fidelity.

[0004] Correlation processing is a standardized signal extraction process. The typical processing steps for the correlation domain signal include band-pass filtering, median filtering in the FX domain, noise attenuation in the FK domain, and deconvolution. However, the traditional band-pass filter is prone to boundary effects and waveform distortion, the processing in the FX / FK domain is highly sensitive to parameter selection, and the adaptability to low signal-to-noise ratio data is limited. Therefore, it is urgent to develop alternative methods based on stronger robustness and higher fidelity to improve the feature extraction effect of the drill string reference signal in seismic while drilling.

[0091] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following remarkable technical effects.

[0092] (1) The traditional band-pass filter mainly realizes target frequency band signal extraction through passive attenuation of the spectrum, which will produce spectral boundary effect, phase distortion and waveform distortion. The present application first performs autocorrelation enhancement on the original record to produce periodic coherent components of the tri-cone bit, and then adaptively separates the modes (minimizes the mode bandwidth and estimates the mode center frequency) in the variational framework, so that the wide frequency energy produced by the tri-cone bit is concentrated into two independent modes, and the low frequency mode and the high frequency mode of the signal are separated; subsequently, based on the sparse representation of the Ricker wavelet dictionary matched with the seismic wavelet, the low frequency mode is processed. This processing method can better preserve the time-frequency characteristics of the original seismic source and reduce the waveform distortion and spectral boundary effect caused by the traditional band-pass filter.

[0093] (2) In the sparse reconstruction of the low and medium frequency mode, the traditional parameter selection method depends on experience or noise level estimation, and the reconstruction target frequency band drill string reference signal is not suitable for the case of denoising processing. The application proposes a physical constraint parameter optimization method based on spectral energy, which calculates the energy retention rate of the target frequency band, the energy leakage rate of the non-target frequency band, and the spectral correlation of the target frequency band, and selects the optimal regularization parameter by using scale scanning and weighted objective function. This method can improve the energy retention and spectral consistency of the reconstructed low frequency signal.

[0094] (3) The application combines autocorrelation preprocessing, mode separation and sparse reconstruction in order: autocorrelation enhances the drill bit coherent pulse, mode separation weakens the time-frequency aliasing problem to energy separation between high and low frequency modes, extracts high frequency components of strong interference, and sparse reconstruction accurately reconstructs strong energy low frequency signal on the over-complete wavelet dictionary. This method can reliably identify and extract the low, medium and high frequency components of the relevant domain drill string reference signal, reduce energy leakage and distortion between frequency bands, and facilitate subsequent joint analysis of drilling parameters, formation information and drill string reference signal.

[0111] Step S101: Collecting well section data by using a pilot sensor installed at the top end of the drill string to obtain a drill string reference signal.

[0112] ​The data used in this embodiment comes from well G3 in an oilfield in eastern China. A pilot sensor installed at the top of the drill string is used to collect data on the well section with a drill bit depth of 2850m to 3290m as a reference signal for the drill string.

[0113] Step S102: Perform autocorrelation processing on the drill string reference signal to obtain the correlation domain drill string reference signal.

[0114] Assume the drill bit vibration signal generated by the drill bit vibration is The drill string transmission effect is The drill string reference signal is Drill bit vibration signal The 𝑍 transform is represented as Drill string transmission effect The 𝑍 transform is represented as Drill string reference signal The 𝑍 transform is represented as , t Let Z represent the time variable and Z represent the Z variable.

[0115] Drill string reference signal autocorrelation function Defined as:

[0116]

[0117] in, t Represents a time variable. This indicates the time delay of the signal's autocorrelation.

[0118] The above autocorrelation function Written in convolution form:

[0120] in, Indicates drill string reference signal Time reversal signal, t Represents a time variable. This represents temporal convolution.

[0121] According to the convolution theorem of the Z-transform: the Z-transform of the convolution of two signals is equal to the product of their Z-transforms. Therefore, the Z-transform of the autocorrelation function mentioned above... for:

[0125]

[0126] wherein, denotes a Z-transform, denotes a drill string reference signal, t denotes a time variable, Z denotes Z a variable;

[0127] the Z-transform of the time reversed signal of the drill string reference signal is:

[0128]

[0129] wherein, denotes a Z-transform, t denotes a time variable, Z denotes a Z variable;

[0131]

[0132] wherein, denotes a Z-transform, t denotes a time variable, Z denotes Z a variable;

[0133] The drill string reference signal is obtained from the bit vibration signal by a modification of the drill string transmission effect and is denoted as:

[0144] After autocorrelation processing, both the drill bit vibration signal and the drill string transmission effect component are enhanced. When the drill bit vibration signal... When the noise level is white, autocorrelation preserves only the drill string transmission effect, allowing for the calculation of the period of drill string multiples and further estimation of the propagation speed of the drill bit vibration signal. Autocorrelation also highlights the overlapping coherent components in the drill string reference signal, suppressing random noise.

[0174] Parameter selection in the above algorithm: the number of modes is selected as 2 according to the spectrum of the correlation domain drill string reference signal; the reference range of the penalty factor is , since the spectrum of the correlation domain drill string reference signal is wide, a lower penalty factor can relax the modal bandwidth constraint, thereby ensuring that the decomposition result covers a wide frequency band and avoiding energy leakage caused by excessive shrinkage, and therefore is selected in an embodiment; a smaller fidelity coefficient can ensure that the decomposition result accurately matches the real components of the signal, and therefore is selected in an embodiment; as shown in Figure 2 , the correlation domain drill string reference signal does not contain a direct current component, and therefore the DC component is set to 0 to remove the influence of direct current drift; the convergence threshold adopts a strict convergence condition to ensure the stability and accuracy of modal decomposition and avoid the problem of incomplete frequency bands caused by premature stopping.

[0179] by regulating and to form a Ricker wavelet overcomplete atom dictionary H.

[0180] Since the Ricker wavelet frequency band range is uncertain, the full width at half maximum of the Ricker wavelet amplitude spectrum is used to screen the atoms on the target frequency band at an interval of 1 Hz, and the Ricker wavelet with energy mainly concentrated in the target frequency band is selected for constructing the atom dictionary. The specific method is as follows: first, mirror symmetry is performed on the first 500 ms of the decomposed low-frequency mode to prevent boundary effects, and then a Ricker wavelet dictionary is constructed using Ricker wavelets with different center frequencies and time delays. The finally constructed overcomplete atom dictionary has a center frequency range of [1, 6] with a step size of 0.5 Hz and a sampling rate of 1000 Hz, covering the entire signal in the time scale with a range of [0, 3499] and a step size of 2 ms. Therefore, the size of the constructed atom dictionary is 3500 x 19250.

[0187] Step S1053, introduce a regularization parameter optimization strategy based on the physical constraint of spectral energy, and set the target frequency band as , and define:

[0201] Wherein, Reconstructed low frequency signal Power spectral density in the target band

[0202] Target band spectral correlation is expressed as:

[0203]

[0204] A representative segment of the low frequency mode in the frequency domain is intercepted, and each SPGL1 constraint Lagrange multiplier is calculated by scanning the SPGL1 constraint Lagrange multiplier on a wider scale Corresponding target band energy preservation rate , non-target band energy leakage rate and target band spectrum correlation . The one wider scale is: , M is the SPGL1 constraint Lagrange multiplier the number of scans.

[0205] In one embodiment, the value range of is: , .

[0208] wherein, , and are weight parameters, M is the SPGL1 constraint Lagrange multiplier corresponding to the target band energy preservation rate, M is the SPGL1 constraint Lagrange multiplier corresponding to the non-target band energy leakage rate, M is the SPGL1 constraint Lagrange multiplier corresponding to the target band spectrum correlation, M is the SPGL1 constraint Lagrange multiplier the number of scans. The SPGL1 constraint Lagrange multiplier that makes the minimum value of is taken as the optimal regularization parameter.

[0209] The target of the present application is to extract the low frequency signal of the target band, the target band energy preservation rate, the non-target band energy leakage rate and the contribution of the target band spectrum correlation to the target band, which is target band spectrum correlation > target band energy preservation rate > energy target band energy leakage rate. Therefore, the selection of the weight parameter should satisfy In one embodiment, the weight parameter is set as .

[0210] Step S1054, the obtained optimal regularization parameter is used to solve the unconstrained second-order optimization problem:

[0211]

[0212] The optimal sparse coefficient is obtained, according to the optimal sparse coefficient , the reconstructed low frequency signal is obtained as:

[0213]

[0214] wherein, is the SPGL1 constraint Lagrange multiplier, H is the overcomplete dictionary of Ricker wavelets, p is the sparse coefficient, is the low frequency component of the relevant domain drill string reference signal extracted by the embodiment of the present application,

After removing the low frequency component, the medium frequency component of 12~30Hz of the relevant domain drill string reference signal is successfully extracted, Figure 8 is the medium frequency component of the relevant domain drill string reference signal extracted by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 9 is the medium frequency component spectrum of the relevant domain drill string reference signal extracted by the embodiment of the present application; wherein Figure 8 As can be seen, each trace record periodically appears a peak value, which shows that the signal has a periodicity of 200~210ms. This is related to the mechanical rotating speed of the three-cone drill bit, and the rotating speed of the drill bit is basically maintained at 98~101rpm during the acquisition process. The multiple wave development in the medium frequency record is obvious, including short period drill tool assembly multiple wave and long period drill string multiple wave, which can be used for monitoring the drill tool assembly state; based on the characteristics of the time delay of the first order and second order multiple wave, the propagation speed of the energy of the drill bit vibration along the drill string calculated by the embodiment of the present application is 5084.7m / s, which is consistent with the range of the longitudinal wave speed of the steel drill string, and the extracted relevant domain medium frequency drill string reference signal can reflect the propagation characteristics of the drill string and estimate the propagation time delay of the energy of the drill bit vibration along the drill string.

[0217] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following remarkable technical effects.

[0218] (1) The traditional band-pass filter mainly realizes target frequency band signal extraction through passive attenuation of the frequency spectrum, which will produce spectrum boundary effect, phase distortion and waveform distortion. The present application first performs autocorrelation enhancement on the original record to produce periodic coherent components of the three-cone drill bit, and then adaptively separates the modes (minimizes the mode bandwidth and estimates the mode center frequency) in the variational framework, so that the wide frequency energy produced by the three-cone drill bit is concentrated into two independent modes, and the low frequency mode and the high frequency mode of the signal are separated; then, on the low frequency mode, sparse representation is performed based on the Ricker wavelet dictionary matched with the seismic wavelet. This processing method can better preserve the time-frequency characteristics of the original seismic source and reduce the waveform distortion and spectrum boundary effect caused by the traditional band-pass filter.

[0219] (2) In the sparse reconstruction of the low frequency mode, the traditional parameter selection method mainly depends on experience or noise level estimation, and the method is no longer applicable to the case of reconstructing the target frequency band drill string reference signal instead of denoising. The present application proposes a physical constraint parameter optimization method based on spectrum energy, which quantitatively calculates the energy retention rate of the target frequency band, the energy leakage rate of the non-target frequency band, and the spectrum correlation of the target frequency band, and selects the optimal regularization parameter by using scale scanning and weighted objective function. This method can improve the energy retention and spectral consistency of the reconstructed low frequency signal.

[0220] (3) The present application combines autocorrelation preprocessing, mode separation and sparse reconstruction in an orderly manner: autocorrelation enhancement of drill bit coherent pulse, mode separation weakens the time-frequency aliasing problem to energy separation between high and low frequency modes, extracts the high frequency component of strong interference, and sparse reconstruction accurately reconstructs the strong energy low frequency signal in a sparse manner on the Ricker wavelet over-complete atomic dictionary. This method can reliably identify and extract the low frequency, medium frequency and high frequency components of the relevant domain drill string reference signal, reduce the energy leakage and distortion between frequency bands, and is beneficial to the subsequent joint analysis of drilling parameters, formation information and drill string reference signal.

[0221] In summary, the cooperative processing procedure adopted by the embodiments of the present application performs excellently in reducing inter-band energy leakage, reducing boundary effect and maintaining waveform physical consistency, and the processing result is ideal, which can provide reliable data basis for subsequent drilling parameter analysis, drilling tool state diagnosis and drilling formation information prediction.
