TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coalbed methane exploration and development, and is a coalbed ash rapid evaluation method based on while-drilling element logging, and also includes a coalbed ash rapid evaluation device. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a clean energy, coalbed methane is widely used in industry, livelihood and transportation and other fields. With the increasing demand for clean energy and policy support, coalbed methane development and utilization technology has developed rapidly, and significant technical breakthroughs have been made in deep coal rock gas exploration, horizontal well drilling and fracturing, gradually realizing the efficient development of coalbed methane and steady increase in production. In view of the low-cost development and complex geological conditions of coalbed methane, scientific and technological research is intensified, technological innovation is promoted, and high-quality coalbed methane is sought, which puts forward new and higher requirements for the exploration and evaluation technology of coal reservoirs.
[0003] While-drilling coal quality evaluation is an important means to find high-quality coalbed methane reserves. By analyzing and measuring the moisture, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon and sulfur content of the drilled coal seam, the characteristics and evaluation parameters of the coal seam are obtained, among which the coal ash content is one of the most important indicators for measuring coal quality. It is also a key indicator for evaluating the quality of coalbed methane. Traditional coalbed methane detection mainly includes experimental method and logging method.
[0004] (1) Experimental method: The most direct and accurate method for coal seam quality evaluation is to detect and analyze the industrial components of coal seam samples in terms of particle size, volatile matter, ash content, fixed carbon, sulfur content, etc. However, due to the poor mechanical strength and fragility of coal seams, the core recovery rate is low, which limits the amount of corresponding experimental data, and the experimental procedure is complicated, time-consuming and costly, making it difficult to widely apply this method in coalbed methane horizontal well development. Experimental method requires coal core, but the cost of coring is high, and only the data and analysis data of the cored section can be obtained. The obtained coal reservoir information is less, and there is a lack of effective identification and interpretation method for the special rock composition characteristics of coal seams.
[0005] (2) Logging method: A multivariate regression coal seam industrial component prediction model of the cored well in the study area is constructed based on geophysical logging data, the relationships between logging density and ash content, acoustic wave and ash content, gamma and ash content, ash content and fixed carbon, and ash content + fixed carbon and volatile matter are analyzed, and a multivariate linear regression model is established to calculate related coal quality parameters. It has the characteristics of strong continuity and high reliability, and is widely used in coal quality evaluation. In the face of the requirements of large-scale development of coalbed methane horizontal wells, the shortcomings of logging method are more prominent. First, the construction difficulty of horizontal well logging is high, and the operation cost is high. Second, the time efficiency is low, and it cannot guide the real-time adjustment of horizontal well trajectory while drilling, and cannot guarantee the sweet spot drilling rate. Third, due to the easy collapse of coal seams, the wellbore conditions are poor, and there is a risk of logging instrument being stuck.
[0006] In order to adapt to the coalbed methane evaluation while drilling and the needs of horizontal well scale development, in view of the technical problems existing in the above experimental method and logging method, a new technical path and method must be explored. SUMMARY
[0007] The present application provides a coal seam ash rapid evaluation method based on element logging while drilling, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art, and effectively solves the problems of high construction requirement, high cost and low timeliness of coalbed methane detection methods such as experimental method and logging method.
[0008] Element logging is also known as X-ray fluorescence element logging, and its English abbreviation is XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence). At present, the data submitted by element logging includes 13 kinds of conventional elements and trace elements whose total mass accounts for more than 99%, including Si, Al, Fe, Mg, K, Ca, Ti, Ba, Mn, Na, P, S and Cl.
[0009] One of the technical solutions of the present application is realized by the following measures: a coal seam ash rapid evaluation method based on element logging while drilling, comprising:
[0010] Firstly, the single-well standardization coefficient is calculated;
[0011] Secondly, the content logging data of each element of the single well is standardized respectively to obtain the content standardized value of each element after the single-well standardization coefficient is used for processing;
[0012] Thirdly, since the pure mudstone section and the pure sandstone section obtained by deposition in the oxidation environment almost do not contain organic matter, the inorganic component content is approximately equal to 100%, the pure mudstone section, the pure conglomerate section or the pure sandstone section in the well is taken as a characteristic section, the mineral element content of the characteristic section is calculated through the content standardized value of each cationic element corresponding to the characteristic section, and then the mineralization coefficient is calculated through the mineral element content of the characteristic section;
[0013] Fourthly, the mineral element content of the coal measure stratum is calculated through the content standardized value of each cationic element corresponding to the coal measure stratum in the well, and the inorganic component content of the coal measure stratum is calculated according to the mineralization coefficient and the mineral element content of the coal measure stratum;
[0014] Fifthly, regression analysis is performed on the inorganic component content of the coal measure stratum and the measured core ash content of the coal measure stratum, and an ash calculation model is established;
[0015] Sixthly, the ash content of the coal measure stratum of a new well in the same block is calculated through the ash calculation model, and the ash content of the coal measure stratum of the new well is obtained.
[0016] The following is a further optimization or / and improvement of the above-mentioned one of the technical solutions:
[0017] In the first step, the single-well normalization coefficient is calculated, specifically as follows:
[0018] Select standard well: select single well with complete stratigraphic position, good borehole condition, and complete logging data as standard well;
[0019] In the standard well and the correction well, respectively, select the pure mudstone section, pure conglomerate section or pure sandstone section near the target coal seam as the standard layer;
[0020] Statistically calculate the average content of each element in the standard layer of the standard well and the correction well, and the calculation formula of the average content of each element in the standard layer of the standard well and the correction well is the same, and the calculation formula of the average content of each element is as follows:
[0021]
[0022] Wherein, CE is an element; CE bav is the average content of the element in the standard layer, %; CE i is the i th content logging data of the element in the standard layer, %; n is the number of content logging data points of the element in the standard layer; and CE is any one of Si, Al, Fe, Mg, K, Ca, Ti, Ba, Mn, Na, P, S and Cl elements;
[0023] The single-well normalization coefficient is calculated according to the following formula:

[0030] The third step above uses pure mudstone, pure conglomerate, or pure sandstone sections within the calibration well as characteristic strata. The mineral element content of these characteristic strata is calculated using the standardized values of the corresponding elements, and then the mineralization coefficient is calculated based on the mineral element content of the characteristic strata. The details are as follows:
[0031] Among the standardized values of element content corresponding to the characteristic layer, the standardized values of cationic elements are selected to calculate the mineral element content of the characteristic layer. Cationic elements include Si, Al, Fe, Mg, K, Ca, Ti, Ba, Mn and Na. The mineral element content is the sum of the standardized values of element content of each cationic element.

[0034] In the formula, k2 is the mineralization coefficient, which is dimensionless; M1 矿物元素 The percentage represents the mineral element content of the characteristic layer.
[0035] The fourth step above involves calculating the mineral element content of the coal-bearing strata using the standardized values of the content of each cationic element corresponding to the coal-bearing strata in the calibration well. Then, based on the mineralization coefficient and the mineral element content of the coal-bearing strata, the inorganic component content of the coal-bearing strata is calculated, as follows:
[0036] The inorganic component content of coal-bearing strata is calculated using the following formula:
[0037] M 无机 =M 矿物元素 ×k2
[0038] In the formula, M 无机 The inorganic component content of the coal-bearing strata is expressed as a percentage (%); k2 is the mineralization coefficient, dimensionless; M 矿物元素 The mineral element content of coal-bearing strata, %.
[0039] In the fifth step above, a linear regression analysis was performed on the inorganic component content of the coal-bearing strata and the measured core ash content of the coal-bearing strata to establish an ash content calculation model, which is as follows:
[0040] V ad =a×M 无机 +b
[0041] In the formula, M 无机 The inorganic component content of coal-bearing strata, %; V addenoted as , where is the measured core ash content of the coal-bearing strata, 'a' is the slope of the ash content calculation model, and 'b' is the intercept of the ash content calculation model.
[0042] In step six above, the ash content of the coal-bearing strata in the new well of the same block is calculated using the ash content calculation model, as detailed below:
[0043] When calculating the ash content of the coal-bearing strata in the new well, the mineral element content and inorganic component content of the coal-bearing strata in the new well are obtained first according to the second to fourth steps. The inorganic component content of the coal-bearing strata in the new well is then substituted into the ash content calculation model in the fifth step to obtain the ash content of the coal-bearing strata in the new well.

[0093] The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and the specific implementation can be determined according to the technical solution of the present invention and the actual situation.
[0094] In pure mudstone, pure conglomerate, and pure sandstone sections, there is almost no organic matter; the inorganic component content is approximately 100%, for example... Figure 1 In the middle, the dark gray fine conglomerate is a pure conglomerate.
[0095] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments:
[0096] Example 1: A rapid evaluation method for coal seam ash content based on elemental logging while drilling, comprising:
[0097] The first step is to calculate the standardization factor for a single well;
[0098] Specifically as follows:
[0099] Selection of standard wells: Select single wells with complete formations, good wellbore conditions, and complete logging data as standard wells;
[0100] In standard wells and calibration wells, strata with stable regional development near the target coal seam, such as pure mudstone, pure conglomerate, or pure sandstone, are selected as standard layers.
[0101] The average content of each element in the standard layers of both the standard wells and the calibration wells was calculated separately. The formula for calculating the average content of each element in the standard layers of both the standard wells and the calibration wells is the same. The formula for calculating the average content of each element is as follows:
[0102]
[0103] Where CE represents an element; CE bav The average content of elements in the standard layer, %; CE i represents the i-th content logging data of the standard layer element, in %; n represents the number of content logging data points of the standard layer element, in numbers; CE represents any one of the elements Si, Al, Fe, Mg, K, Ca, Ti, Ba, Mn, Na, P, S, and Cl.
[0104] The standardization factor for a single well is calculated using the following formula:
[0105]
[0106] In the formula, CE represents an element; k m It is the single-well standardized coefficient, dimensionless; (standard well) CE bav The average elemental content (%) of the standard layer in the standard well; (calibration well) CE bav CE represents the average elemental content of the standard layer in the calibration well, expressed as a percentage; CE is any one of the elements Si, Al, Fe, Mg, K, Ca, Ti, Ba, Mn, Na, P, S, and Cl.
[0107] The following uses silicon (Si) as an example.
[0108]
[0109] In the formula, Si bav The average silicon content of the standard layer, in %; Si i is the i-th content logging data of silicon element in the standard layer, %; n is the number of content logging data points of Si element in the standard layer, in units.
[0110] The standardization factor for a single well (Si) is calculated using the following formula.
[0111]
[0112] In the formula, k1 is the standardization coefficient of Si for a single well, which is dimensionless; (standard well) Si bav The average Si content (%) in the standard layer of the standard well; (calibration well) Si bav This represents the average Si content of the standard layer in the calibration well.
[0113] The second step involves standardizing the logging data of each element in a single well using the single-well standardization coefficient to obtain the standardized values of each element, as detailed below:
[0114] Calculate the standardized values of each element in a single well; the standardized values of the elemental contents are calculated as follows:
[0115] CE nor =k m ×CE l
[0116] In the formula, CE represents an element; CE nor Standardized values for element content, %; k m CE is the standardized coefficient for a single well, dimensionless. l represents the elemental content logging data, in %; CE represents any one of the elements Si, Al, Fe, Mg, K, Ca, Ti, Ba, Mn, Na, P, S, and Cl.
[0117] The following uses silicon (Si) as an example.
[0118] Si nor =k1×Si l
[0119] In the formula, Si nor is the standardized value of Si element content, %; k1 is the standardized coefficient of Si per well, dimensionless; Si l The data represents the Si element content (%) from the well logging data. Other elements can be calculated using the same method to obtain their corresponding standardized content values.
[0120] The third step involves using the pure mudstone, conglomerate, and sandstone sections deposited in an oxidizing environment as characteristic layers. Since these layers contain almost no organic matter, their inorganic content is approximately 100%. The mineral element content of each characteristic layer is calculated using the standardized values of the corresponding cations, and then the mineralization coefficient is calculated based on this content. The details are as follows:
[0121] Among the standardized values of element content corresponding to the characteristic layer, the standardized values of cationic elements are selected to calculate the mineral element content of the characteristic layer. Cationic elements include Si, Al, Fe, Mg, K, Ca, Ti, Ba, Mn and Na. The mineral element content is the sum of the standardized values of element content of each cationic element.
[0122] The mineralization coefficient is calculated using the following formula:
[0123] k2=1 / M1 矿物元素
[0124] In the formula, k2 is the mineralization coefficient, which is dimensionless; M1 矿物元素 The percentage represents the mineral element content of the characteristic layer.
[0125] Currently, elemental logging analyzes drill cuttings to obtain data on the content of 13 major rock-forming elements, including Si, Al, Fe, Mg, K, Ca, Ti, Ba, Mn, Na, P, S, and Cl. However, it fails to effectively distinguish and identify the main components of coal seam organic matter, namely C, H, O, and N.
[0126] The formation consists of clay and silica-based minerals formed by the combination of cations such as Si, Al, Fe, Mg, K, Ca, and Ti with C, H, O, and N. Elemental logging data analysis shows a significant correlation between the content of formation mineral cations and the content of its inorganic components (minerals), which can be expressed as:
[0127] The mineral element content of the strata is calculated using the following formula:
[0128] M 矿物元素 =Si nor+Al nor +Fe nor +K nor +Mg nor +Ca nor +......
[0129] In the formula, Si nor The normalized values for Si content, in %; Al nor Standardized values for Al content, in %; Fe nor Standardized values for Fe content, %; K nor The normalized value of K content, in %; Mg nor Here are the standardized values for Mg content, in %; Ca... nor The value for the Ca content is a standardized value, expressed as a percentage.
[0130] Mineral element content M1 of the characteristic layer 矿物元素 Mineral element content M of coal-bearing strata 矿物元素 This calculation method can be used.
[0131] The fourth step involves calculating the mineral element content of the coal-bearing strata using the standardized values of each cationic element corresponding to the coal-bearing strata within the calibration well. Based on the mineralization coefficient and the mineral element content of the coal-bearing strata, the inorganic component content is then calculated, as follows:
[0132] The inorganic component content of coal-bearing strata is calculated using the following formula:
[0133] M 无机 =M 矿物元素 ×k2
[0134] In the formula, M 无机 The inorganic component content of the coal-bearing strata is expressed as a percentage (%); k2 is the mineralization coefficient, dimensionless; M 矿物元素 The mineral element content of coal-bearing strata, %.
[0135] Coal ash is the residue remaining after complete combustion of coal, and it is one of the important indicators for evaluating coal quality. Coal ash almost entirely originates from the minerals in coal; however, during combustion, most of these minerals are oxidized, decomposed, and lose their water of crystallization. Therefore, the composition and content of coal ash are correlated with the composition and content of minerals in coal. Regression analysis can be used to determine a regression model (i.e., an ash calculation model) between ash and inorganic minerals.
[0136] The fifth step involves performing regression analysis on the inorganic component content of the coal-bearing strata and the measured core ash content of the coal-bearing strata to establish an ash content calculation model, as follows:
[0137] V ad =a×M 无机 +b
[0138] In the formula, M 无机 The inorganic component content of coal-bearing strata, %; V ad denoted as , where is the measured core ash content of the coal-bearing strata, 'a' is the slope of the ash content calculation model, and 'b' is the intercept of the ash content calculation model.
[0139] The sixth step involves using an ash content calculation model to calculate the ash content of the coal-bearing strata in the new well within the same block, as detailed below:
[0140] When calculating the ash content of the coal-bearing strata in the new well, the mineral element content and inorganic component content of the coal-bearing strata in the new well are obtained first according to the second to fourth steps. The inorganic component content of the coal-bearing strata in the new well is then substituted into the ash content calculation model in the fifth step to obtain the ash content of the coal-bearing strata in the new well.

[0143] The content of each element in a single well is standardized by using the single-well standardization coefficient to obtain the standardized content value of each element.
[0144] Mineralization coefficient calculation unit: Taking the pure mudstone section, pure conglomerate section or pure sandstone section in the calibration well as the characteristic layer, the mineral element content of the characteristic layer is calculated by the standardized value of the content of each cationic element corresponding to the characteristic layer, and then the mineralization coefficient is calculated by the mineral element content of the characteristic layer.

[0146] Ash content calculation model unit: Regression analysis is performed on the inorganic component content of coal-bearing strata and the measured core ash content of the coal-bearing strata to establish an ash content calculation model;
[0147] New Well Ash Content Calculation Unit: The ash content of the coal-bearing strata in the new well of the same block is calculated using the ash content calculation model to obtain the ash content of the coal-bearing strata in the new well.
[0148] Example 3: As an optimization of Example 2, the standardized unit specifically includes:
[0149] Single-well standardized coefficient calculation unit: Used to calculate the single-well standardized coefficient, as detailed below:
[0150] Selection of standard wells: Select single wells with complete formations, good wellbore conditions, and complete logging data as standard wells;
[0151] In standard wells and calibration wells, strata with stable regional development near the target coal seam, such as pure mudstone, pure conglomerate, or pure sandstone, are selected as standard layers.
[0152] The average content of each element in the standard layers of both the standard wells and the calibration wells was calculated separately. The formula for calculating the average content of each element in the standard layers of both the standard wells and the calibration wells is the same. The formula for calculating the average content of each element is as follows:
[0153]
[0154] Where CE represents an element; CE bav The average content of elements in the standard layer, %; CE i represents the i-th content logging data of the standard layer element, in %; n represents the number of content logging data points of the standard layer element, in numbers; CE represents any one of the elements Si, Al, Fe, Mg, K, Ca, Ti, Ba, Mn, Na, P, S, and Cl.
