[0002] At present, with the continuous development of oil and gas exploration and development, it is very important to obtain the plumb thickness of the drilled reservoir in actual production. As an important geological parameter, the plumb thickness of the reservoir is the basis for correctly interpreting and evaluating the characteristics and sedimentary characteristics of the underground formation, and is also a key indicator for reserves declaration, well deployment and exploration evaluation.
[0003] However, it is not easy to obtain the accurate plumb thickness of the drilled reservoir. When the well type of the drilling is a small diameter and small inclination well, the plumb thickness of the drilled reservoir is approximately equal to the vertical thickness, and the calculation of the plumb thickness of these two well types is not difficult. If the well type of the drilling is a high inclination well or a horizontal well with continuously changing inclination angles, the calculation of the plumb thickness of the drilled reservoir will be very difficult, and the calculation of the plumb thickness of the drilled reservoir will become more difficult due to the complex and changing formation dip angles.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0028] Example 1 This invention provides a method for correcting the thickness of a vertical plumb line in a horizontal well reservoir of a special well type. The method includes: S1. Obtain seismic data and well logging data of the target well, interpret the well logging data to obtain the interpretation profile, and interpret the seismic data to obtain the seismic depth profile; based on the seismic depth profile in the seismic data of the target well, divide the well section of the target well into fault sections and ordinary sections along the wellbore trajectory of the target well. S2. For ordinary well sections, reservoirs are divided based on the lower limit of porosity, resulting in multiple reservoir sub-layers. The starting and ending depths of each reservoir sub-layer are recorded. Seismic formation dip and wellbore inclination angles along the wellbore trajectory are obtained from seismic depth profiles or well logging imaging data. The divided reservoir sub-layers are correlated with the seismic formation dip and wellbore inclination angles. The relationship between the wellbore trajectory and the formation is determined based on the starting and ending depths of the reservoir sub-layers and the corresponding seismic formation dip and wellbore inclination angles along the wellbore trajectory. Based on the relationship between the layers, select the corresponding calculation formula and calculate the plumb thickness of each reservoir sublayer layer by layer; find the duplicate reservoir sublayers according to the vertical depth, and remove the duplicate reservoir sublayers. The formation dip angle of the two reservoir sublayers following the removed reservoir sublayer is calculated based on the average of the formation dip angles of the reservoir sublayer preceding the removed reservoir sublayer, the removed reservoir sublayer, and the two reservoir sublayers following the removed reservoir sublayer. Based on the recalculated formation dip angle, correct the plumb thickness of the reservoir sublayer with the recalculated formation dip angle. S3. For fault sections, the seismic dip angle and well inclination angle of the reservoir along the wellbore trajectory are obtained from the seismic depth profile or well logging imaging data. In the seismic depth profile, a line is drawn connecting the starting point and the ending point of the reservoir in the fault section. An extension line of the bottom or top interface of the reservoir where the starting point is located is drawn. The line connecting the starting point and the ending point intersects with the extension line of the formation interface or top interface of the reservoir where the starting point is located. The distance from the starting point to the intersection point is read using geological steering software. The plumb line thickness of the reservoir in the fault section is calculated using the seismic dip angle, well inclination angle, and the distance from the starting point to the intersection point. S4. By summing the corrected plumb thickness of each reservoir layer obtained in step S2 and the plumb thickness of the fault well section obtained in step S3, the plumb thickness of the target well reservoir can be obtained.
[0029] This invention can completely replace existing methods for determining the plumb line thickness of reservoirs encountered during drilling, calculating the plumb line thickness of reservoirs encountered in special and complex well types for mineral reserve calculation. The method of this invention considers faulted well sections and ordinary well sections, correcting the calculation error of reservoir plumb line thickness in faulted well sections. Simultaneously, for ordinary well sections, it removes redundantly calculated reservoir sublayers, making the calculation of reservoir plumb line thickness in special well types (horizontal wells) more accurate and improving calculation efficiency.
[0030] In a specific implementation of the present invention, a method for correcting the thickness of a horizontal well reservoir using a plumb bob is provided, as shown in the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 The flowchart for the special well type horizontal well reservoir plumb line thickness correction of this invention is shown, and may include: Seismic and logging data of the target well are acquired. The logging data is interpreted to obtain an interpretation profile, and the seismic data is interpreted to obtain a seismic depth profile. Based on the seismic depth profile in the target well's seismic data, the well section is divided into faulted and ordinary sections along the wellbore trajectory. For ordinary sections, reservoirs are divided based on the lower porosity limit, resulting in multiple reservoir sub-layers. The starting and ending depths of each reservoir sub-layer are recorded. The seismic formation dip and well inclination along the wellbore trajectory are obtained from the seismic depth profile or logging imaging data. The process involves mapping the divided reservoir sub-layers to seismic formation dip angles and wellbore inclination angles; determining the relationship between the wellbore trajectory and the formation based on the starting and ending depths of the reservoir sub-layers, the corresponding seismic formation dip angles along the wellbore trajectory, and the wellbore inclination angle; selecting the appropriate calculation formula based on the determined relationship between the wellbore trajectory and the formation, and calculating the plumb line thickness of each reservoir sub-layer layer by layer; identifying duplicate reservoir sub-layers based on vertical depth, removing duplicated reservoir sub-layers, and determining the formation dip angle of the two subsequent reservoir sub-layers following the removed sub-layer based on the dip angle of the removed sub-layer. The dip angle of the reservoir sub-layer preceding the removed sub-layer, the removed sub-layer, and the two sub-layers following the removed sub-layer are calculated. Based on the recalculated dip angle, the plumb line thickness of the reservoir sub-layer with the recalculated dip angle is corrected. For fault sections, the seismic dip angle and well inclination angle of the reservoir along the wellbore trajectory are obtained from seismic depth profiles or well logging imaging data. A line is drawn connecting the starting and ending points of the fault section reservoir on the seismic depth profile, and the reservoir at the starting point is plotted. The bottom or top interface extension line is used to make the line connecting the starting point and the ending point intersect with the extension line of the formation interface or top interface of the reservoir where the starting point is located. The distance from the starting point to the intersection point is read using geological guidance software. The plumb line thickness of the reservoir in the fault section is calculated by using the seismic formation dip angle, well inclination angle and the distance from the starting point to the intersection point. The plumb line thickness of the target well reservoir is obtained by summing the corrected plumb line thickness of each reservoir layer calculated in step S2 and the plumb line thickness of the fault section reservoir obtained in step S3.

This apparent dip angle along the wellbore trajectory is the seismic formation dip angle along the wellbore trajectory. Specifically, the azimuth perpendicular to the formation contour lines is the true azimuth, and the corresponding dip angle is the true dip angle; the azimuth not perpendicular to the formation contour lines is the apparent azimuth, and the corresponding dip angle is the apparent dip angle.

[0046] Example 2 In this embodiment, a well in Gaoshi, Sichuan Basin, is used as an example to illustrate the plumb line thickness correction method for horizontal well reservoirs of the present invention. This well in Gaoshi, Sichuan Basin, does not have fault sections, only ordinary sections. Therefore, in this example, plumb line thickness correction is only performed on the ordinary sections.

In this embodiment, the accuracy of the formation dip angle read from the seismic profile can be verified by the apparent dip angle of the formation obtained along the wellbore trajectory after correction of the true dip angle of the formation picked up from the well logging imaging data.
[0051] Import the seismic formation dip angles along the wellbore trajectory into an Excel spreadsheet to ensure that the sub-layer well inclination angle, formation dip angle, starting depth, and ending depth correspond; then, determine the relationship between the wellbore trajectory and the formation based on this spreadsheet, and select the corresponding calculation formula based on the determined relationship between the wellbore trajectory and the formation. Figures 8-11 The calculation models corresponding to the four relationships shown are used to calculate the plumb thickness of each reservoir layer layer by layer; the results are shown in the attached figure. Figure 6 The calculation results are shown in the table below.
[0052] In practical applications, the method of this invention can easily and directly calculate the reservoir plumb line thickness using an Excel spreadsheet, which not only saves enterprise costs but also improves calculation efficiency.
[0053] From the appendix Figure 6The calculation results table shows that, starting from the vertical depth, the ending vertical depth of layer 4 is consistent with the starting vertical depth of layer 10, indicating that layers 5-9 were calculated repeatedly and need to be removed. However, the dip angles of sub-layers 10 and 11 need to be recalculated using differential values. The dip angle of layer 10 changes from 2.87° to 2.39°, and that of layer 11 changes from 1.25° to 2.39°. This is calculated using the average value of sub-layers 4-11: 2.39 = (2.78 + 1.15 + 1.15 + 3.84 + 3.84 + 2.31 + 1.25) / 8. Therefore, the dip angles of sub-layers 10 and 11 become 2.39°. Then, using the removed reservoir sub-layers and the corrected dip angles, the plumb line thickness of each reservoir sub-layer is recalculated, resulting in the following... Figure 7 The results are shown.
[0054] Example 3 In this embodiment, when a fault section exists in the target well, the seismic dip angle and well inclination angle of the reservoir along the wellbore trajectory are obtained from the seismic depth profile or well logging imaging data. A line is drawn connecting the starting point and the ending point of the fault section reservoir in the seismic depth profile, and an extension line is drawn for the bottom or top interface of the reservoir where the starting point is located. The line connecting the starting point and the ending point intersects with the extension line of the formation interface or top interface of the reservoir where the starting point is located. The distance from the starting point to this intersection point is read using geological steering software. The plumb line thickness of the fault section reservoir is calculated using the seismic dip angle, well inclination angle, and the distance from the starting point to this intersection point.
