TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of oil fields, and relates to a method and system for measuring core fracture inclination and dip angle. BACKGROUND
[0002] The shale oil large platform horizontal well subdivision close volume fracturing technology has become a key technical weapon for shale oil benefit production. At present, the acquisition of artificial fracture parameters of hydraulic fracturing mainly relies on downhole microseismic method, but whether the microseismic monitoring fracture height and fracture width match the actual situation is controversial, and the actual fracture height and fracture length are far less than the distribution range of the microseismic event. Due to the small well spacing of shale oil large platform, the interwell channeling is prominent, or due to the large well spacing, the contradiction of low interwell reservoir producing degree is prominent, and the unclear understanding of artificial fracture vertical fracture recognition brings great challenges to the scale benefit development of shale oil.
[0003] At present, the most commonly used fracture measurement method is resistivity imaging logging, which measures the contrast between mud-containing fracture resistivity and surrounding rock resistivity by using drilling mud into the formation containing fractures, identifies the formation fractures, and imaging logging needs to be measured after drilling. Some wells cannot use imaging logging due to overflow, loss, etc., or do not measure imaging logging due to cost control. The method of drilling core is an effective means to understand fractures by identifying core fractures, and the main core fracture observation and analysis methods are full-diameter core CT scanning three-dimensional imaging and optical scanning. Full-diameter coring is high in cost and only a few test wells are equipped with testing. Invention patent CN201310507013.3 introduces a method for automatically identifying reservoir fractures based on electrical imaging logging porosity spectrum information, but does not involve the method of measuring fractures with cores. CN115524745A provides a method for measuring core-based fracture development and preservation parameter indicators, and classifies the fracture development degree, which does not involve fracture orientation. In the case of lack of precision instrument tools in drilling site core observation, it is difficult to measure core fracture dip angle and inclination, which leads to the inability to restore the formation state to establish a real space fracture network distribution.

[0033] The application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings: Embodiment 1 The method for measuring the fracture dip and inclination of a core proposed by the application, as shown in Figure 1 includes: S1, marking the fracture surface appearing on the core of the horizontal well to be measured, and determining the target fracture surface; S2. Measure the target fracture surface to obtain the angle between the target fracture surface and the horizontal well trajectory. Based on the angle between the target fracture surface and the horizontal well trajectory, obtain the positional relationship between the target fracture surface and the core, and determine the dip and dip angle of the target fracture surface. The measurement of the target fracture surface to obtain the angle between the target fracture surface and the horizontal well trajectory is specifically as follows: Measure the target fracture surface and obtain the maximum or minimum extreme value H of the intersection depth between the fracture surface and the upper semicircle of the core. 1t The maximum or minimum extreme value H of the intersection depth between the crack surface and the lower semicircle. 1b ; Based on the maximum or minimum extreme value H of the intersection depth between the fracture surface and the upper semicircle of the core. 1t The maximum or minimum extreme value H of the intersection depth between the crack surface and the lower semicircle. 1b Obtain the angle α1 between the target fracture surface and the horizontal well trajectory; α1=atan(2r / (H 1t -H 1b )) / π*180; Where r is the core radius, H 1-t H represents the maximum or minimum depth at which the fracture surface intersects the upper semicircle of the core. 1-b This represents the maximum or minimum extreme value of the intersection depth between the crack surface and the lower semicircle.
[0034] The positional relationship between the target fracture surface and the core is obtained based on the angle between the target fracture surface and the horizontal well trajectory, and the dip and dip angle of the target fracture surface are determined, specifically as follows: When the target fracture surface is perpendicular to the horizontal well trajectory, that is, when the minimum or maximum value of the intersection between the target fracture surface and the core is at the 0° phase position, the angle between the target fracture surface and the horizontal well trajectory is α1, and the dip angle β of the fracture surface is the same as the azimuth angle β0 of the horizontal well trajectory.
[0035] When the target fracture surface is not perpendicular to the horizontal well trajectory, that is, when the minimum or maximum value of the intersection between the target fracture surface and the core is not at the 0° phase position, the deflection arc length L of the target fracture surface is measured, and the angle β1 corresponding to the deflection arc length L is β1 = (L / 2πr) * 360; where r is the core radius.
[0036] S3. Restore the dip and dip angle of the target fracture surface to the formation conditions, and determine the dip angle and dip of the target fracture surface under the formation conditions.
[0037] The process of restoring the dip and dip angle of the target fracture surface to the formation conditions, and determining the dip angle and dip of the target fracture surface under the formation conditions, specifically involves: When H 1t >H 1bAt that time, based on the wellbore inclination of the horizontal well core, the angle between the core bedding fracture or crack and the bottom of the core is the angle α1 between the target fracture surface and the horizontal well trajectory. The dip and dip angle of the target fracture surface are restored to the formation conditions, and the dip angle of the target fracture surface under the formation conditions is determined as α = α0 + α1 - 90°; the fracture surface dip angle β = β0 + β1; where a0 is the trajectory dip angle, β0 is the angle between the trajectory and true north, and H 1-t H represents the maximum or minimum depth at which the fracture surface intersects the upper semicircle of the core. 1-b This represents the maximum or minimum extreme value of the intersection depth between the crack surface and the lower semicircle.
[0038] When H 1t <H 1b At that time, based on the wellbore inclination of the horizontal well core, the angle between the core bedding fracture or crack and the bottom of the core is the angle α1 between the target fracture surface and the horizontal well trajectory. The dip and dip angle of the target fracture surface are restored to the formation conditions, and the dip angle of the target fracture surface under the formation conditions is determined as α = α0 + 90 - |(atan(2r / (H)| ... 1t -H 1b )))|,crack surface dip angle β=β0+β1; where a0 is the trajectory dip angle, H 1-t H represents the maximum or minimum depth at which the fracture surface intersects the upper semicircle of the core. 1-b β0 represents the maximum or minimum extreme value of the intersection depth between the crack surface and the lower semicircle, r is the core radius, β0 is the angle between the trajectory and the due north direction, and β1 is the angle corresponding to the deflection arc length L.
[0039] The method is described in detail below: Step 1: Place the horizontal well core horizontally on the observation platform, such as... Figure 2 As shown, record the well depth direction, determine the top and bottom directions, draw a line directly above the horizontal well core with the arrow pointing in the direction of increasing well depth, mark it as 0° phase, and measure the core diameter 2r; Step 2: Mark the crack surfaces appearing on the core with serial numbers F1, F2...F n And determine the target crack surface; Step 3: Measure the target crack surface and record the top 0° phase depth H. 1-0 The maximum or minimum extreme value H of the intersection depth between the fracture surface and the upper semicircle of the core. 1t The extreme value H of the intersection depth with the lower semicircle. 1b , Step 4: Based on H 1t and H 1b Determine the depth H1 of the center point and the angle α1 between the target fracture surface and the horizontal well trajectory: H1=(H 1t +H 1b ) / 2;tan(α1)=2r / (H1t -H 1b ) ; a1 = atan (2r / (H 1t -H 1b ) ) / p * 180; Wherein, a1 is the angle between the fracture surface and the core axis, r is the core radius, A point is the minimum value of the depth of the intersection between the fracture surface and the core, H 1-t is the corresponding depth of the point, H 1-b is the maximum depth point of the fracture surface, H1 is the depth of the center point of the fracture surface, L is the deflection arc length, beta is the inclination angle of the fracture surface, beta0 is the angle between the trajectory and the north direction, a0 is the trajectory inclination angle.
[0040] Step 5: based on the position relationship between the target fracture surface and the core, the inclination and the inclination angle of the target fracture surface in the observation platform state are determined. Step 6: according to the inclination of the horizontal well core, the angle between the core bedding seam or fracture and the core bottom is a1, the inclination and the inclination angle of the target fracture surface are restored to the formation condition, and the inclination angle alpha and the inclination beta of the target fracture surface in the formation condition are determined.
[0041] In addition, it is worth noting that all the inclination and inclination of the fracture surface appearing on the core can be calculated by repeating steps 3, 4, 5 and 6.
[0042] Step 5 and step 6 have the following implementation ways: Way 1: Step 5: when the target fracture surface is perpendicular to the horizontal well trajectory, that is, the minimum or maximum value of the intersection between the target fracture surface and the core is at 0° phase position, the angle between the target fracture surface and the horizontal well trajectory is a1, and the inclination of the fracture surface is the same as the azimuth angle of the horizontal well trajectory, that is, beta = beta0. Step 6: when H 1t >H 1b , according to the inclination of the horizontal well core, the angle between the core bedding seam or fracture and the core bottom is a1, the inclination and the inclination angle of the target fracture surface are restored to the formation condition, and the inclination angle alpha and the inclination beta of the target fracture surface in the formation condition are determined, wherein alpha = alpha0 + alpha1- 90; the inclination of the fracture surface is beta, beta = beta0 + beta1.
[0043] Way 2: Step 5: when the target fracture surface is perpendicular to the horizontal well trajectory, that is, the minimum or maximum value of the intersection between the target fracture surface and the core is at 0° phase position, the angle between the target fracture surface and the horizontal well trajectory is a1, and the inclination of the fracture surface is the same as the azimuth angle of the horizontal well trajectory, that is, beta = beta0. Step 6: when H 1t <H 1bAt that time, based on the well inclination of the horizontal well core, the angle between the core bedding fracture or crack and the bottom of the core is α1. The dip and dip angle of the target fracture surface are restored to the formation conditions to determine the dip angle α and dip β of the target fracture surface under the formation conditions, where α = α0 + 90 - |(atan(2r / (H)| ... 1t -H 1b )))|, the crack surface dips to β, β=β0+β1.
[0044] Method 3: Step 5: When the target fracture surface is not perpendicular to the horizontal well trajectory, that is, when the minimum or maximum value of the intersection between the target fracture surface and the core is not at the 0° phase position, it is necessary to measure the deflection arc length L of the target fracture surface. The angle corresponding to the arc length L is β1, β1 = (L / 2πr) * 360. Step 6: When H 1t >H 1b At that time, based on the well inclination of the horizontal well core, the angle between the core bedding fracture or crack and the bottom of the core is a1. The dip and dip angle of the target fracture surface are restored to the formation conditions, and the dip angle α and dip β of the target fracture surface under the formation conditions are determined, where α=α0+α1-90, the dip of the fracture surface is β, and β=β0+β1.
[0045] Method 4: Step 5: When the target fracture surface is not perpendicular to the horizontal well trajectory, i.e., when the minimum or maximum value of the intersection between the target fracture surface and the core is not at the 0° phase position, it is necessary to measure the deflection arc length L of the target fracture surface. The angle corresponding to the arc length L is β1, β1 = (L / 2πr) * 360; Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates the measurement of deflection arc length.
[0046] Step 6: When H 1t <H 1b At that time, based on the well inclination of the horizontal well core, the angle between the core bedding fracture or crack and the bottom of the core is α1. The dip and dip angle of the target fracture surface are restored to the formation conditions to determine the dip angle α and dip β of the target fracture surface under the formation conditions, where α = α0 + 90 - |(atan(2r / (H)| ... 1t -H 1b )))|, the crack surface dips to β, β=β0+β1.
[0047] The following description uses examples: The first scenario: When the target fracture surface is perpendicular to the horizontal well trajectory, i.e., the deflection arc length is 0, and H... 1t <H 1b hour, Figure 5 This paper presents a schematic diagram of the first method for calculating the dip angle of core fractures under restored formation conditions.
[0048] like Figure 5The fracture F, the unfolding surface is as shown in Figure 3 The fracture F1 surface is shown in the F1 layer, the A well is a coring horizontal well, and the fracture F1 needs to be measured for the dip angle. It has been found that the trajectory dip angle of this section is 76.64°, and the trajectory azimuth angle is 347.15°. The related data are shown in Table 1.
[0049] S1: Place the core horizontally, find the top and bottom surfaces, draw a line on the top surface, and mark it as 0 degrees. Measure 2r=0.1m.
[0050] S2: Find the fracture surface F1 to be measured.
[0051] S3: Measure the fracture surface F1. The fracture top is 0 degrees, H 1t =1801.39m, H 1t =H 1-0 , H 1b =1801.426m; S4: Calculate tan(α1)=2r / (H 1t -H 1b )=0.1 / (1801.39-1801.426)=-2.777 α1=atan(-2.777) / pi()*180=-70.2° S5: The dip angle is restored to the formation condition. Since H 1t <H 1b , α=90-(α0+α1)=90-(76.64-70.2)=83.56° S6: The fracture surface is oblique to the core column, and the top is the minimum value, H 1-0 =H 1t , the deflection arc length L=0, β1=(L / 2πr)*360=0 The fracture surface dip is β=β0+β1=347.15° Thus, the dip angle of the fracture F1 is measured as α=83.56°, and the dip is β=347.15° The second case: when the target fracture surface is perpendicular to the horizontal well trajectory, and H 2t> H 2b , Figure 6 A second calculation diagram of the core fracture dip angle restored to the formation condition is shown. As shown in Figure 6 the unfolding surface is as shown in Figure 3 the F2 layering fracture, the A well is a coring horizontal well, and F2 is a layering fracture. The fracture F2 needs to be measured for the dip angle. The measurement method is the same as that of the fracturing fracture. It has been found that the trajectory dip angle of this section is 78.12°, and the trajectory azimuth angle is 347.15°. The related data are shown in Table 1.
[0052] S1: Place the core horizontally, find the top and bottom surfaces, draw a line on the top surface, mark it as 0 degrees, and measure 2r = 0.1 m.
[0053] S2: Find the fracture surface F2; S3: Measure the fracture surface F2, F2 is a bedding fracture, H 2t = 2026.485 m, H 2b = 2026.078 m, H 2t > H 2b ; S4: Calculate tan(α2) = 2r / (H 2t -H 2b ) = 0.1 / (2026.485 - 2026.078) = 0.2457 α2 = atan(0.457) / pi() * 180 = 13.8° S5: The dip angle is restored to the formation condition: α = (α0 + α2) - 90 = (78.12 + 13.8) - 90 = 1.92° S6: The fracture surface is oblique to the core column, with the maximum value at the top, and the deflection arc length L = πr, β2 = (L / 2πr) * 360 = 180° The fracture surface is inclined at β = β0 + β2 - 360 = 167.15° Thus, the dip angle of the bedding fracture F2 is α = 1.92°, and the inclination is β = 167.15° It should be noted that if only depth data is measured, the difference between the minimum value and the 0 degree position velocity is small, and the data measurement error has a large effect on the result, so the arc length measurement data is more accurate.
[0054] Third case: when the target fracture surface is not perpendicular to the horizontal well trajectory, and H 3t <H 3b , Figure 7 The core column surface scanning and fracture measurement schematic is shown in Figure 7 , Well A is a coring horizontal well, and the inclination and dip angle of the fracture F3 need to be measured. The trajectory dip angle of this section is 78.12°, and the trajectory azimuth angle is 347.15°. The core 360 degree scanning photo is used for measurement, the upper part of the fracture surface F3 is 34.6 cm from the top, the bottom is the maximum depth of 36.1 cm from the single block top, the deflection arc length is 3.2 cm, and the top depth h0 = 1865 m is obtained from the single block depth record. Thus, the dip angle is 86.65 degrees, and the inclination is 5.48 degrees (α = 86.65°, β = 5.48°). Figure 5
[0055] Table 1 is the measurement data table
[0056] Example 2 This invention proposes a system for measuring the dip and inclination of fractures in rock cores, such as...
