[0056] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustrative and explanatory purposes only and do not constitute a limitation thereof.
[0057] Example 1: A method for automatic updating of formation models for horizontal well guidance
[0058] Figure 1 The flowchart of the automatic updating method for the stratigraphic model of the present invention includes the following steps performed sequentially:
[0059] S1. Obtain standard vertical well depth domain seismic data, such as Figure 2 The flowchart shown is for this step. The initial seismic velocity field of the work area is established based on the drilling stratification, time-depth calibration curve and seismic horizon of the standard vertical well in the work area. The time-domain seismic data is then converted using the initial seismic velocity field to obtain the depth-domain seismic data.
[0060] S2. Under the constraint of the target layer in the depth domain seismic data, a formation model is established using the layered data and logging curves of the standard vertical well data to establish the relationship between the drilled horizontal well build-up section, the horizontal section trajectory and the formation.
[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the logging curve in this embodiment is the GR curve (natural gamma ray logging curve). Of course, the logging curve can also be the resistivity curve. The drilled horizontal well trajectory is divided into a build-up section (depth range 3570m~3925m) and a horizontal section (depth range 3925m~5450m). Figure 3 A stratigraphic model relating the directional section and horizontal segment trajectory of the drilled horizontal well to the formation.
[0062] S3. Extract simulated logging curves from the formation model along the drilled horizontal well trajectory at fixed intervals; in this embodiment, gamma curves are extracted at a sampling interval of 0.1m, such as... Figure 3 The black curve shown is the gamma curve measured during drilling in a horizontal well. Figure 3 The gray curves in the image show a poor correlation between the two curves, indicating that the existing formation model cannot accurately reflect the actual drilling formation model of horizontal wells. To obtain a true actual drilling formation model for horizontal wells, adjustments to the existing formation model are necessary.
[0063] S4. Based on correlation analysis, analyze the measured and simulated logging curves of the build-up section, and adjust the formation model to complete the automatic interpretation of the formation model of the build-up section.
[0064] This step specifically includes:
[0065] S41, the depth measurement range of the inclined section is [md ks ,md ke ], where md ks and md keHere are the depth data values. 'md' is an abbreviation for 'measured depth'. The subscript 'k' represents the start point of the shunting motion, 'ks' represents the start point of the shunting motion, and 'ke' represents the end point of the shunting motion. Using the depth of the stratigraphic model established in S2 as the reference depth, set to 0m, the initial depth range (-D, D) for the vertical translation of the stratigraphic model is determined.
[0066] S42, Using the first-level step size Δd L The formation model is moved vertically along the trajectory of the drilled horizontal well, where the first-stage step size is Δd. L The value of is related to the accuracy of the initial seismic velocity field data. Simulated well logging curves F(x) for each translation amount are extracted from the translated formation model, where x∈[md... ks ,md ke F(x) represents a discrete sequence of simulated well logging data with depth x as the abscissa;
[0067] S43. Let the measured curve while drilling in a horizontal well be G(x), where x∈[md] ks ,md ke Let G(x) represent the discrete sequence of logging data obtained during drilling, with depth x as the abscissa. Calculate the correlation coefficient C between the simulated logging curves F(x) and G(x) obtained under various translation values. d The correlation calculation formula is:
[0068]
[0069] In the formula and F(x) and G(x) are respectively in the interval [md ks ,md ke The expected value of ];
[0070] Find the maximum correlation coefficient C d max The corresponding translation d max Translate the stratigraphic model by d max ,
[0071] S44. Using the position of the formation model after translation in S43 as the new reference depth, determine the new small-range vertical translation depth range (-D1, D1). Use a smaller second-level step size ΔdS to translate the formation model vertically. The value of the second-level step size ΔdS is determined based on the new small-range vertical translation depth range (-D1, D1). Extract the simulated logging curves F(x) for each translation amount, and calculate the correlation coefficient C between each simulated logging curve F(x) and G(x). d1 Determine the maximum correlation coefficient C dmax1 The corresponding translation d max1 Translate the stratigraphic model by d max1Repeat this step to further reduce the depth range and translation step size of the vertical translation, when d maxn The calculation stops when the value is 0 or the step size meets the minimum requirement, thus completing the automatic interpretation of the stratigraphic model of the inclined section.
[0072] Specifically, in this embodiment, the depth measurement range of the inclined plane segment [md] ks ,md ke The depth range of the large-scale translation of the stratigraphic model is determined to be [-D, D], with a step size of Δd, from 3570m to 3925m. Based on the current stratigraphic model, the depth range of the vertical translation (-D, D) is defined as [-10m, 10m]. L =The formation model was moved vertically by 1m. Simulated logging curves with translation amounts ranging from -10m to 10m at 1m intervals were extracted from the formation model after translation along the drilled horizontal well trajectory. The correlation coefficient C between each simulated logging curve and the measured logging curve in the range of 3570m to 3925m was calculated. d The calculation results are as follows Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the correlation coefficient C d The maximum value is 0.64 at -6m. At this point, shifting the geological model downwards by 6m yields the following result: Figure 5 The stratigraphic model and simulated curve morphology after the large-scale translation of the inclined section are shown.
[0073] by Figure 5 Using the stratigraphic model as a reference, the depth range for vertical translation is narrowed down, denoted as (-D1, D1) as [-1m, 1m], and a smaller step size Δd is used. S =0.1m vertical translation of the formation model. Simulated logging curves with translation amounts ranging from -1m to 1m at 0.1m intervals are extracted from the formation model after translation along the drilled horizontal well trajectory. The correlation coefficient C between each simulated logging curve and the measured logging curve in the range of 3570m to 3925m is calculated. d1 The calculation results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, the correlation coefficient C d1 The maximum value is found at -0.4m, with a maximum value of 0.69. At this point, shifting the formation model downwards by 0.4m yields the following result: Figure 7 The stratigraphic model and simulated curve morphology of the inclined section with a total translation of -6.4m are shown. In this embodiment, the gamma curve is extracted at a sampling interval of 0.1m, with a relatively small step size Δd. S =0.1m, which meets the accuracy requirements, and the calculation can be stopped, thus completing the automatic interpretation of the formation model of the drilled horizontal well deflection section.
[0074] S5. Based on correlation analysis, analyze the measured and simulated logging curves of the horizontal section during drilling, and adjust the formation model to complete the automatic interpretation of the formation model of the horizontal section.
[0075] The specific steps include:
[0076] S51. The depth measurement range of the horizontal section is x∈[md hs ,md he ], where md hs =md ke ; where md hs and md he The values represent depth data. 'md' is an abbreviation for 'measured depth'. The subscript 'h' represents horizontal, 'hs' represents the start of the horizontal segment, and 'he' represents the end of the horizontal segment. Based on the updated stratigraphic model in S4, and using the units divided by the seismic trace data intervals as the basic interpretation units, the dip angle of the stratigraphic model for each horizontal segment is adjusted sequentially.
[0077] S52. Adjust the dip angle of the first interpretation unit:
[0078] ① Determine the initial adjustment range of the formation dip angle (-θ, θ); use the first-level angle adjustment Δδ L Adjust the dip angle of the formation model along the trajectory of the drilled horizontal well, and extract the simulated logging curve F(x) for each dip angle adjustment, where x∈[md hs ,md cur ], md cur This is the depth measurement value at the corner point between the current interpretation unit and the well trajectory.
[0079] ② Let the measured curve of a horizontal well while drilling be G(x), where x∈[md hs ,md cur ] Calculate the correlation coefficient C between the simulated logging curves F(x) and G(x) obtained under various adjustment values. δ The correlation calculation formula is:
[0080]
[0081] middle and F(x) and G(x) are respectively in the interval [md hs ,md cur The expected value of ];
[0082] ③ Find the maximum correlation coefficient C δmax The corresponding translation δ max Adjust the dip angle δ of the current stratigraphic interpretation unit. max ;
[0083] ④. Using the adjusted dip angle position of the stratigraphic model in ③ above as the new reference depth, determine a new, smaller range for adjusting the stratigraphic dip angle [-θ1, θ1], and adjust Δδ using the second-order angle adjustment. SAdjust the dip angle of the formation model, extract the simulated logging curves F(x) under each dip angle adjustment, and calculate the correlation coefficient C between each simulated logging curve F(x) and G(x). δ1 Determine the maximum correlation coefficient C δmax1 The corresponding translation δ max1 Translate the stratigraphic model by δ max1 Repeat this step to further reduce the tilt adjustment range and step size, when δ maxn The calculation stops when the value is 0 or the step size meets the minimum requirement, thus completing the automatic interpretation of the stratigraphic model for this interpretation unit.
[0084] S53. Adjust the dip angle of the next interpretation unit sequentially: Using the adjusted position of the previous interpretation unit as the reference depth of the interpretation unit to be adjusted, complete the adjustment of the dip angle of the interpretation unit to be adjusted according to the steps in S52. Adjust all interpretation units sequentially until x∈[md] is achieved. hs ,md he Automatic interpretation of the horizontal section stratigraphic model.
[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, the depth measurement range of the horizontal segment [md] hs ,md he The altitude ranges from 3925m to 5450m. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the stratigraphic model has been divided into several interpretation units due to the intervals of the seismic trace data. Based on the stratigraphic model of the orogenic segment that has been updated in S4, the units divided by the intervals of the seismic trace data are used as the basic interpretation units.
[0086] like Figure 9 As shown, the dip angle of the first interpretation unit is adjusted. The initial dip angle of this interpretation unit is 0.8 degrees updip, and the depth measurement range is [md]. hs ,md cur The depth is 3925m to 3966m. The large-scale adjustment range (-θ, θ) for the dip angle of the first interpretation unit is determined to be (-10 degrees, 10 degrees), using a relatively large step size Δδ. L =1 degree, adjust the dip angle of the formation model along the already drilled horizontal well trajectory, and extract the simulated logging curves under each dip angle adjustment. Calculate the correlation coefficient C between the simulated logging curves F(x) and G(x) obtained under each adjustment within the range from the starting point of the horizontal section (3925m) to the depth measurement of the intersection of the current formation interpretation unit and the trajectory (3966m). δ The calculation results are as follows Figure 10 As shown. The correlation coefficient is at its maximum when the adjustment is 1 degree, with a maximum value of 0.76. At this point, the dip angle of the current interpretation unit in the stratigraphic model is adjusted upward by 1 degree, resulting in an upward dip angle of 1.8 degrees for the stratigraphic model. The result is as follows. Figure 11 The horizontal segment shows the morphology of the stratigraphic model and simulated curves after large-scale adjustment.
[0087] Using the current position after adjusting the dip angle of the stratigraphic model as the new reference depth, the small-scale adjustment range of the dip angle of the new interpretation unit is determined to be (-θ1, θ1) as (-1 degree, 1 degree), using a smaller step size Δδ. S =0.1 degree adjusted formation model, calculate the correlation coefficient C between simulated logging curves F(x) and G(x) obtained under various adjustment values within the range from the starting point of the horizontal degree segment (3925m) to the depth measurement point (3966m) at the intersection of the current formation interpretation unit and the trajectory. δ1 The calculation results are as follows Figure 12 As shown. The correlation coefficient is highest when the adjustment is -0.4 degrees, with a maximum value of 0.76. Adjusting the dip angle of the current interpretation unit of the stratigraphic model downwards by 0.4 degrees results in an updip dip of 1.4 degrees. The adjusted first interpretation unit stratigraphic model and simulation curve morphology are shown below. Figure 13 As shown. In this embodiment, the gamma curve is extracted at a sampling interval of 0.1m, with a small step size Δδ. S = The adjustment range corresponding to the 0.1 degree adjustment has met the accuracy requirements, and the calculation can be stopped, that is, the adjustment of the formation dip angle of the first interpretation unit of the horizontal section of the drilled horizontal well is completed.
[0088] Adjust the dip angle of the next interpretation unit sequentially: Using the adjusted position of the previous interpretation unit as the reference depth, adjust the dip angle of the interpretation unit to be adjusted using the same method as adjusting the dip angle of the first interpretation unit. Adjust all interpretation units sequentially until the sounding range of the horizontal segment is completed. hs ,md he [Automatic interpretation of the stratigraphic model from 3925m to 5450m. The final adjusted result is as follows.] Figure 14 As shown in the figure, the two curves have a strong positive correlation, and the adjusted formation model can truly reflect the formation model of the actual horizontal well drilling.
