Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rock mechanics evaluation technology for shale reservoirs, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for predicting pore pressure in shale reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] Formation pore pressure refers to the pressure acting on the pore fluid in the formation. Currently, there are many methods for predicting pore pressure in shale reservoirs, mainly including the Eaton method, the equivalent depth method, and the Bowers method. The Eaton method and the equivalent depth method are based on the principle of undercompaction, constructing an acoustic compaction trend line and using the amplitude of the deviation of the P-wave transit time from the compaction trend line to predict pore pressure. The Bowers method is based on the principle of hydrocarbon generation and pressurization, using the amplitude of the P-wave velocity and the acoustic velocity of the original uncompacted formation to predict pore pressure. All of these methods directly use measured P-waves to predict pore pressure. However, because the P-wave transit time or velocity is greatly affected by organic carbon, porosity, lithology, and fluid composition, the calculation results have large errors and cannot meet the needs of reservoir logging evaluation.

Figure 1-9As shown, a method for predicting pore pressure in shale reservoirs includes: Step S01: Obtaining well logging curves for the study area, and determining the organic carbon content, total porosity, clay content, and water saturation based on the well logging curves; Step S02: Establishing a P-wave transit time correction model based on the theoretical value of P-wave transit time of quartz and the organic carbon content, total porosity, clay content, and water saturation, and obtaining the corrected P-wave transit time using the correction model; Step S03: Determining the effective vertical stress of the measured section of the target well based on the well logging curves; Step S04: Establishing a regression model between the corrected P-wave transit time and the effective vertical stress, and determining the pore pressure based on the regression model.
[0067] The shale reservoir pore pressure prediction method provided by this invention specifically includes the following steps:
[0068] Step S01: Obtain the logging curve of the target well, and determine the organic carbon content, total porosity, clay content and water saturation based on the logging curve.
[0069] In this embodiment of the invention, when calculating formation pore pressure using P-wave transit time, in addition to being related to formation pressure, factors such as organic carbon, porosity, lithology, and fluid composition also have a significant impact on P-wave transit time. Therefore, when establishing a pore pressure calculation model, it is necessary to first correct the P-wave transit time, and then, based on the effective stress principle, use the corrected P-wave transit time to establish a formation pore pressure prediction model.
[0070] Taking the Qingshankou Formation in the Gulong area of the study area as an example, a calculation model for organic carbon, porosity, clay content, and water saturation of the Qingshankou Formation in the Gulong area was established using well logging data. Based on this model, the organic carbon, porosity, clay content, and water saturation of wells with measured pressure were calculated.
[0071] In this invention, the method for determining the organic carbon content based on the logging curve includes: determining the organic carbon content using formula (1) based on the sonic transit time and deep lateral resistivity curve in the logging curve;
[0072] TOC = a × DT + b × log(R) LLD )-c (1);
[0073] In the formula: TOC is the organic carbon content, %; DT is the acoustic transit time, us·ft -1 ;R LLD ρ is the deep lateral resistivity, in Ω·m; a, b, and c are coefficients.
[0074] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the above formula (1), using the well logging curves of the study area, namely the sonic transit time and the deep lateral resistivity curve, a mathematical statistical regression method is used to obtain the values of coefficients a, b, and c of formula (1), thereby establishing a calculation model for the organic carbon content of the study area. The organic carbon content of the study area is calculated based on this organic carbon content calculation model.
[0075] Taking the Qingshankou Formation in the Gulong area of the study area as an example, based on the logging response characteristics of source rocks in the Gulong area, the acoustic transit time and deep lateral resistivity curves were selected. Using the core analysis data of 87 layers from 6 wells, a logging calculation model for the organic carbon content (TOC) of the Qingshankou Formation oil layer was established, as shown in Equation (1-1).
[0076] TOC = 0.05 × DT + 3.78 × log(R) LLD -6.47 (1-1).
[0077] In this invention, the method for determining total porosity based on the logging curve includes: determining the total porosity using formula (2) based on the compensated neutron curve, lithological density curve and sonic transit time curve in the logging curve;
[0078] Φ 总 =a×DT+b×CNL-c×DEN+d (2);
[0079] Where: Φ 总 Total porosity, %; DT is acoustic transit time, µs·ft. -1 CNL represents compensated neutrons, f; DEN represents lithological density, g / cm³. 3 a, b, c, and d are coefficients.
[0080] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the above formula (2), using the well logging curves of the study area, namely the compensated neutron curve, lithological density curve, and sonic transit time curve, a mathematical statistical regression method is used to obtain the values of coefficients a, b, c, and d in formula (2), thereby establishing a total porosity calculation model for the study area. Based on this total porosity calculation model, the total porosity value of the study area is calculated.
[0081] Taking the Qingshankou Formation in the Gulong area of the study area as an example, the porosity data obtained from the analysis (experiment) of 98 core layers from 7 wells in the Qingshankou Formation oil layer in the Gulong area were used to select the three porosity curves, namely the compensated neutron curve, the lithological density curve and the sonic transit time curve. The conventional logging calculation model for the total porosity of the Qingshankou Formation was determined by using the mathematical statistical regression method, as shown in Equation (2-1).
[0082] Φ 总 =0.11×DT+9.73×CNL-4.67×DEN+5.05(2-1).
[0083] In this invention, the method for determining clay content based on the well logging curve includes: acquiring elemental well logging data and XRD whole-rock analysis experimental data of the study area; determining the conversion relationship between mineral content and elemental content based on the elemental well logging data and XRD whole-rock analysis experimental data, and determining the clay content based on the conversion relationship; if elemental well logging data cannot be obtained, then establishing a clay content regression calculation model using conventional well logging curves based on the XRD whole-rock analysis experimental data, and determining the clay content based on the model.
[0084] In this embodiment of the invention, the mud content in the study area is calculated using XRD whole-rock analysis experimental data (mineral composition data). Based on the Herron model principle, the equation is solved using an optimization method to obtain the conversion relationship between mineral content and element content in this area.
[0085] Elemental logging can accurately calculate the elemental dry weight of a formation. Therefore, by applying well-calibrated mineral content (mineral composition data) obtained from XRD experimental data, the elemental content (elemental dry weight) obtained from elemental logging can be calibrated to determine the conversion relationship between mineral content and elemental content. The mineral composition obtained from elemental logging in the study area can be finely processed and interpreted to obtain the mud content (clay content) parameter.
[0086] For wells without elemental logging data, based on the clay content in the mineral components obtained from XRD whole-rock analysis experiments, a regression calculation model for shale content is established using conventional logging curves to obtain the shale content of the entire oil reservoir.
[0087] In this invention, the method for determining water saturation based on the well logging curve includes: determining water saturation based on the well logging curve using a saturation model, wherein the saturation model is: Archie saturation model, or dual water saturation model, or Simondu saturation model, or Indonesian saturation model.
[0088] In this embodiment of the invention, the Archie saturation model is primarily used to calculate water saturation in sandstone reservoirs. Other models, such as the dual-water, Simondus, and Indonesian saturation models, consider the influence of clay content on resistivity and are designed for shale or silty mudstone reservoirs with high clay content. Therefore, a suitable saturation model can be selected to calculate water saturation based on the reservoir type in the study area.
[0089] In this invention, water saturation is determined based on the well logging curve using the Simon's saturation model described in the formula; wherein, the Simon's saturation model includes:
[0090]
[0091] In the formula: S wFor water saturation, f; R w R is the resistivity of formation water, in Ω·m; t R represents the resistivity of the original formation, in Ω·m. cl V represents the resistivity of clay, in Ω·m. cl denoted as clay content (f); Φ as effective porosity (f); m as cementation index; n as saturation index; and a and b as coefficients.
[0092] In this embodiment of the invention, for mudstone shale reservoirs or muddy siltstone reservoirs, the Simon saturation model is preferred for calculating water saturation.
[0093] Geological studies indicate that the Gulong Shale in the study area is mainly composed of clayey felsic shale, which has a higher clay mineral content, higher feldspar content, and lower carbonate content compared to other shale oil and gas fields. Thin section analysis shows that the target layer in the study area has a disordered accumulation of clay minerals and felsic minerals, belonging to typical dispersed clay sediments. The preferred model is the saturation model of argillaceous sandstone suitable for dispersed clay, proposed by Simandoux in 1963, which takes into account the conductivity of clay, i.e., formula (3).
[0094] In equation (3), m and n are key parameters for saturation calculation. Taking the Qingshankou Formation in the Gulong area of the study area as an example, based on geological background data, R is selected. w =0.2Ω·m, R cl =2.0Ω·m. Based on rock electrical experiments and digital core simulation, the rock electrical parameters a=1, m=1.38, b=1, n=1.42 were determined and substituted into equation (1) to calculate the water saturation of the shale reservoir in the Gulong area.
[0095] Step S02: Based on the theoretical value of the longitudinal wave time difference of quartz and the organic carbon content, total porosity, clay content and water saturation, establish a longitudinal wave time difference correction model, and use the correction model to obtain the corrected longitudinal wave time difference.
[0096] In an embodiment of the invention, the longitudinal wave time difference correction model includes:
[0097]
[0098] Where: Δt c The P-wave time difference after multi-parameter correction is expressed in μs·ft. -1 Δt is the measured P-wave time difference, us·ft -1 TOC represents total organic carbon content, in g / g; ρ b Lithological density, g / cm³ 3 Φ represents total porosity, v / v; V sh S represents the clay content, v / v; w ν represents water saturation, v / v.
[0099] In this embodiment of the invention, the theoretical value of the longitudinal wave time difference of quartz, 55.5 μs / ft, is used as the benchmark to establish a correction model, namely formula (4). The organic carbon, total porosity, clay content and water saturation that have a significant impact on the longitudinal wave time difference are calculated in step S01. The longitudinal wave time difference is corrected according to the volume model (correction model) to obtain the corrected longitudinal wave time difference.
[0100] Taking the Qingshankou Formation in the Gulong area of the study area as an example, the established calibration model is shown in Equation (4-1).
[0101]
[0102] The corrected P-wave time difference of the target well Qingshankou Formation in the Gulong area of the study region was calculated using equation (4-1), as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 The fifth, sixth, seventh, and ninth steps are the total porosity, water saturation, organic carbon content, and lithology results calculated in step S01. The last step is the P-wave transit time after multi-parameter correction according to the method of the present invention and the measured P-wave transit time.
[0103] Step S03: Determine the effective vertical stress of the measured section of the target well based on the logging curve.
[0104] In this invention, the method for determining the effective vertical stress of the measured section of the target well based on the logging curve includes: determining the overlying formation pressure based on the logging curve; and determining the effective vertical stress using the effective vertical stress equation based on the overlying formation pressure.
[0105] In this invention, the method for determining the overlying formation pressure based on the well logging curve includes: determining the overlying formation pressure using formula (5) based on the density curve in the well logging curve;
[0106]
[0107] Where: σ v ρ is the overlying formation pressure, MPa; D is the vertical depth, m; z The density at depth z is kg / m³. 3 .
[0108] In this embodiment of the invention, density curves are used to calculate the overlying formation pressure of wells with measured pore pressure in the study area. For the density-free section of the target well, it needs to be completed. The specific method is as follows: based on the vertical depth, the density trend of the density-free logging section is extrapolated using the three-point extrapolation method to determine the trend line. Combined with the existing measured density curve trend of the target well, the density trend line curve of the density-free section is determined.
[0109] The overburden pressure (overburden stress) of the target well is calculated by integrating the completed density curve, i.e., by formula (5). The calculation results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0110] Figure 3 The fifth channel is the density curve for well sections without measured density, determined by the three-point extrapolation method. The equivalent mud density in the fourth channel is obtained by converting the overlying formation pressure into an equivalent mud density. Generally, the equivalent mud density of sandstone and mudstone formations is between 2.3 and 2.65. The equivalent mud density can be used to adjust and correct the density trend determined by the three-point extrapolation method, thereby obtaining a more accurate density trend curve.
[0111] In this invention, the effective vertical stress equation includes:
[0112] σ ve =σ v -P p (6);
[0113] Where: σ ve For effective vertical stress, MPa; σ v The overlying formation pressure is expressed in MPa; P p ρ represents the formation pore pressure, in MPa.
[0114] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the overlying formation pressure, the average effective vertical stress of the target well pressure measurement section (pore pressure test section) is calculated using the Terzaghi effective vertical stress equation, i.e., equation (6). That is, the average effective vertical stress is the difference between the overlying formation pressure and the average pore pressure of the measurement section.
[0115] Step S04: Establish a regression model of the corrected longitudinal wave time difference and effective vertical stress, and determine the pore pressure based on the regression model.
[0116] In this embodiment of the invention, the effective vertical stress obtained in step S03 is used to establish a regression model of the longitudinal wave time difference and the effective vertical stress after correction in step S02, as shown in equation (7), which can calculate the effective vertical stress of the formation (section without measured data) in the target well.
[0117] σ ve =a×Δt c +b (7);
[0118] Where: Δt c denoted as Us·ft⁻¹, representing the P-wave time difference after multi-parameter correction; a and b are coefficients.
[0119] Using the obtained effective vertical stress regression model, i.e., equation (7), the pore pressure is calculated by back-calculation based on the Terzaghi effective stress equation.
[0120] Taking the Qingshankou Formation in the Gulong area of the study area as an example, the regression model of the corrected P-wave time difference and effective vertical stress is shown in Equation (7-1).
[0121] σ ve = -0.3927 × Δt c +49.934(7-1);
[0122] Based on the Terzaghi effective stress principle and the effective vertical stress regression model, the pore pressure is calculated. That is, by combining equations (6) and (7), the pore pressure calculation formula of the formation in the study area is obtained, as shown in equation (8).
[0123] P p =σ v -σ ve =σ v +0.3927×Δt c -49.394 (8).
[0124] like Figure 4 The figure shown is a graph depicting the relationship between the P-wave travel time and effective vertical stress of the Qingshankou Formation in the Gulong area of the study region before correction, with a correlation coefficient of 0.36. Figure 5 The diagram shown is a graph depicting the relationship between the corrected longitudinal wave time difference and the effective vertical stress, obtained after performing steps S01 to S04 according to the multi-parameter correction method of the present invention. Figure 5 The results show that the correlation coefficient between the corrected P-wave time difference and the effective vertical stress increased from 0.36 to 0.74, which is a significant improvement compared to before the correction.
[0125] Figure 6 A comparison chart showing the formation pore pressure predicted by the method of this invention for the Qingshankou Formation in the Gulong area of the study area, and the formation pore pressure predicted by the existing Bowers method. Figure 7 This image shows a comparison of predicted and measured formation pore pressures before and after acoustic correction of the target well in the Qingshankou Formation in the Gulong area of the study region. Figure 6 and 7 The results show that the formation pressure of the Qingshankou Formation in the Gulong area ranges from 23.9 to 37.6 MPa, with a pressure coefficient of 1.19 to 1.58, classifying it as an overpressured formation. Currently, the pore pressure of the Qingshankou Formation in Gulong is calculated directly using the measured P-wave transit time and the Bowers model. However, the average absolute error of the calculated result is 2.65 MPa, which is relatively large and cannot meet the needs of reservoir logging evaluation. The method of this invention reduces the average absolute error of the pore pressure calculation from 2.65 MPa using the Bowers method to 1.43 MPa, significantly improving the calculation accuracy.
[0126] Appendix Figure 8To utilize the pore pressure calculation model obtained in this invention, the pressure coefficient of the Q9 section of the vertical well in the Qingshankou Formation of the Gulong area of the study area was calculated. Then, the average pressure coefficient of the Q9 section of each well was read, and a plane pressure coefficient prediction contour map was made.
[0127] Figure 9 The graph shows the relationship between the daily oil production of the Q9 oil-bearing formation in the Qingshankou Formation of the Gulong area of the study region and the pore pressure coefficient predicted by the method of this invention. A higher pore pressure coefficient corresponds to a higher daily oil production, and the two are positively correlated. Therefore, by obtaining accurate pore pressure data, accurate prediction and evaluation of oil reservoir production can be achieved.
[0128] The method of this invention was experimentally applied in the Qingshankou Formation of the Gulong area, achieving excellent results. Combined with... Figures 1-9 The effects of this invention can be summarized in at least the following points: 1. The pore pressure predicted using the multi-parameter (organic carbon content, total porosity, clay content, water saturation) acoustic transit time correction method of this invention has an average absolute error reduced from 2.65 MPa (Bowers method) to 1.43 MPa (with appendix). Figure 6 Appendix Figure 7 1. The prediction accuracy has been greatly improved; 2. The pore pressure of 38 wells in the Gulong area was calculated using the multi-parameter sonic transit time correction method, and the planar distribution of the pressure coefficient of the Q9 oil layer group was predicted. This can provide technical guidance for the prediction of favorable shale oil areas in the Gulong area and the well location deployment of the Q9 oil layer group (see appendix). Figure 8 3. Based on the predicted pressure coefficient of the Q9 oil reservoir group in the horizontal wells, the correlation between the horizontal well productivity and the pressure coefficient was analyzed. It was found that the higher the pressure coefficient in the Gulong area, the higher the horizontal well productivity. Therefore, the next step in well placement should prioritize wells located at positions with higher pressure coefficients. (See attached diagram) Figure 9 ).
