Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coalbed methane development, and in particular to a method and equipment for characterizing the seismic geology of external water recharge in coalbed methane reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the main method for extracting coalbed methane (CBM) is depressurization through drainage. Continuous drainage lowers the pressure in the coal reservoir until it falls below the critical desorption pressure of CBM. At this point, the gas desorbs from the coal surface, migrates, diffuses, and is eventually extracted to the surface through the wellbore. Generally, the more water drainage a CBM well produces, the better it is for depressurizing the coal reservoir and the better the gas production. However, in actual development, CBM wells with excessively high water production often have poor gas production, especially those that continuously produce large amounts of water, which commonly exhibit low or no gas production. Research shows that the produced water in CBM wells mainly comes from two sources: water within the coal reservoir and external water sources. Compared to the sandstone or limestone aquifers adjacent to the coal seam, the coal seam has weak water content and a low water cut. Excessive water production in CBM wells is often due to the removal of external water sources. Abnormally high water production makes it difficult to reduce the fluid content of coalbed methane wells and results in poor coalbed methane desorption. Excessive water production can easily damage the reservoir, leading to deterioration of physical properties. In addition, continuous fluid flushing of proppant or carrying coal dust can reduce permeability or even cause the failure of conductivity, resulting in inefficient coalbed methane development.
[0003] Patent document CN116681543A discloses a method for studying and finely characterizing the recharge sources of groundwater in coal seams. The method mainly includes the following steps: determining the sampling locations for surface water and groundwater; conducting experiments to obtain experimental data from the collected water samples; and plotting the Piper tri-line diagram, Scholler diagram, hydrogen and oxygen isotope correlation diagram with ions, isotope contour map, and δ¹⁸O diagram of the water samples in the study area. 11 B-value (a "fingerprint" in boron isotope geochemistry, used to measure the concentration of boron in a sample) 11 B / 10 The relationship between the relative levels of B (in‰) and B concentration is illustrated; the groundwater migration pathways are identified, and the possibility of cross-layer recharge is analyzed; a groundwater migration model for coal reservoirs in the study area is established; coal seam thickness and depth data are overlaid on the groundwater flow field migration model, and combined with gas content, coal petrographic composition data, and coal body structural characteristics, the recoverability of coalbed methane in different areas is comprehensively analyzed, and development blocks are optimized. However, this study only utilizes parameter well information and does not consider the heterogeneity of coal reservoirs, water conduction channels, or the energy of groundwater recharge.
[0004] Current research on high water production in coal reservoirs mainly considers the water content of the coal seam or the top and bottom plates, but rarely considers the communication between the coal reservoir and adjacent aquifers and the influence of the local hydrodynamic field caused by the relative altitude. It cannot effectively eliminate the water production of coalbed methane wells caused by external water sources, cannot form an effective pressure reduction surface, and thus cannot guarantee gas production. Summary of the Invention

[0055] Example 1
[0056] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a method for characterizing the seismic geology of external water recharge in coalbed methane reservoirs. The method includes:
[0057] Step 101 involves using post-stack seismic data of the study area to invert the aquifer thickness and aquifer percentage of the study area, specifically including the following steps.
[0058] 1.1 Prediction of Lithology and Thickness of Coal-Bearing Strata. Given that the old age of coal-bearing strata results in small differences in elastic parameters between sandstone and mudstone, the sensitivity of gamma curves to lithology makes it easy to distinguish between sandstone and mudstone. Phase control inversion constrained by gamma-reconstructed pseudo-acoustic curves is used to predict the thickness and spatial distribution of aquifers.
[0059] 1.1.1 The specific implementation steps for reconstructing pseudo-gamma sonic logging curves are as follows.
[0060] a. First, use spectral analysis to calculate the time spectrum of the target layer and determine the effective frequency band of the seismic data, i.e., the lower frequency limit of the seismic data frequency components. and frequency limit .
[0061] The time spectrum calculation process is as follows: Assume Indicates earthquake signal, Describes the Gaussian window function (where, The signal sampling interval; The larger the value, the larger the window width, and vice versa. Then the time spectrum... It can be represented as:
[0062] (1)
[0063] in, For time spectrum, and They represent time and frequency on the time spectrum, respectively. Indicates earthquake signal, Indicates the time on the seismic signal. Represents the Gaussian window function. This represents a time delay window function. Indicates the number of sampling points.
[0064] b. Use Fourier transform to convert the gamma curve GR and the sonic logging curve AC to the frequency domain, respectively. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0065] , (2)
[0066] in, Indicates frequency, , Let represent the frequency spectra of the gamma curves GR and AC, respectively. The calculated frequency bands of the AC and GR curves are (C Hz - D Hz).
[0067] c. Based on the lower frequency limit determined in step a and frequency limit Based on the spectral results of the AC and GR curves calculated in step b, the frequency range of the low-frequency component of the AC curve is extracted as follows: , The frequency range of the high-frequency components of the GR curve is ( ) , The two are combined to obtain the pseudo-gamma sound wave curve in the frequency domain. :
[0068] (3)
[0069] in, This represents the low-frequency component of the AC curve. These are the high-frequency components of the GR curve.
[0070] The bandwidth of the reconstructed quasi-gamma acoustic waveform is: ~( ).
[0071] d. Transform the reconstructed frequency-domain quasi-gamma sound wave curve to the time domain using an inverse Fourier transform to obtain the time-domain quasi-gamma sound wave curve. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0072] (4)
[0073] The time-domain pseudo-gamma sonic curves were calculated, providing an initial model and well logging constraints for lithology and thickness seismic inversion.
[0074] 1.1.2 Predicting aquifer lithology and thickness using post-stack seismic inversion. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0075] a. Establish the initial model: Construct the initial model for post-stack inversion using the quasi-gamma acoustic wave curve reconstructed in the previous step, that is, establish the initial values for inversion using the low-frequency components of the reconstructed curve.
[0076] b. Establish the inversion objective function based on the nonlinear inversion framework:
[0077] (5)
[0078] In the formula, z is the wave impedance, s is the model response, and d is the actual seismic record.
[0079] c. Establish the inversion iterative formula and termination condition.
[0080] Expanding equation (5) near a given initial wave impedance using Taylor series yields the following result.
[0081] (6)
[0082] In the formula, for The change in the inversion objective function at that point. , for The inversion objective function value at that point, for The inversion objective function value at that point, This represents the initial wave impedance after stacking inversion. For correction amount, for exist gradient, for exist The sea color matrix is a symmetric positive definite matrix.
[0083] make If the first derivative is zero, then equation (6) can be rewritten as follows:
[0084] (7)
[0085] In the formula For matrix The generalized inverse matrix, The sea color matrix is the inversion objective function.
[0086] To maintain the stability and high resolution of the inversion, an adaptive regularization constraint term consisting of model parameters and noise is added, resulting in the final inversion iterative formula as follows:
[0087] (8)
[0088] In the formula, This is the wave impedance correction amount. Let be the covariance matrix of the noise. This is the inverse of the covariance matrix of the wave impedance output by the inversion model. The superscript represents the gradient of the inversion objective function. This indicates transpose.
[0089] In the inversion process, an initial subsurface acoustic impedance model, i.e., a fixed-point model, is first established based on the well's acoustic impedance. Then, control parameters are calculated using the well's acoustic impedance and the seismic traces near the well, and the inversion is performed by extrapolating trace by trace. By setting iterative model parameters, the root mean square error between the synthetic data and the actual seismic data is calculated to be less than 10. -6 This is the termination condition for the iteration.
[0090] d. Rock physical statistical analysis of different lithologies: Typical exploration wells in the study area were selected, and detailed rock physical statistical analysis was carried out in combination with well logging data. Histograms were used to statistically analyze the distribution range of P-wave velocities of different lithologies, providing velocity cutoff values for the prediction of aquifer lithology and thickness.
[0091] e. Extraction of aquifer proportion and thickness: On the inverted wave impedance profile, combined with the wave impedance range of the aquifer in the rock physics analysis, the wave impedance of the aquifer in the target section is multiplied by the wave impedance of the aquifer in the target section and the time sampling point to obtain the aquifer thickness. The aquifer thickness is then compared with the total formation thickness to obtain the aquifer proportion.
[0092] Step 102: Predict the crack density in the study area based on OVT seismic data.
[0093] In this embodiment of the invention, step 102 involves predicting fractures (water-conducting channels) in coal-bearing strata based on OVT seismic data. When the incident angle is small, the relationship between the P-wave reflection amplitude and fracture parameters (fracture azimuth, fracture dip angle, and fracture density) in anisotropic media can be expressed as:
[0094]
[0095] In the formula, Indicates the angle of incidence of seismic waves and the azimuth angle from the excitation point to the receiver point The corresponding P-wave reflection amplitude in the OVT seismic data, This represents the reflected amplitude when a longitudinal wave is incident perpendicularly. Indicates the azimuth angle from the excitation point to the receiver point. The total rate of change of amplitude under the following conditions; This is the rate of change of amplitude with offset distance, i.e., the isotropic gradient; This is the rate of change of amplitude with azimuth angle, i.e., the anisotropic gradient; It is the angle of incidence of the seismic wave; It is the azimuth angle from the excitation point to the receiver point; It is the azimuth angle of the crack's direction.
[0096] With a fixed incident angle, the above equation can be further simplified to:
[0097] (9)
[0098] in, This represents the amplitude of P-wave reflections in OVT seismic data. It is the azimuth angle from the excitation point to the receiver point. It is the azimuth angle of the crack's direction. This represents a parameter reflecting the change in amplitude with the distance between guns. This represents a parameter reflecting the variation of amplitude with gun spacing and azimuth; among which, Used to characterize crack density, it can reflect amplitude changes related to the shot-receiver distance. The amplitude variation with shot-receiver distance and azimuth can be considered as an anisotropy factor. The above formula can be used to inversely derive... , , These are three parameters related to the crack, namely the three parameters of the amplitude ellipse. This indicates the direction of the crack, while the amplitude ellipse... The ratio of the major axis to the minor axis can be used as a relative measure of crack density.
[0099] Step 103: Calculate the equivalent water level for the study area.
[0100] In this embodiment of the invention, step 103 calculates the equivalent converted water level to characterize the overflow recharge energy. By referencing the equivalent converted water level parameter from fracturing drainage data, the potential energy of groundwater fluids is quantitatively evaluated to reflect the characteristics of regional hydrodynamic conditions. The equivalent converted water level of the coal seam is calculated based on the reservoir pressure and elevation data of the coal seam well. The converted water level is a method of characterizing groundwater fluid potential energy by converting the total reservoir pressure into a head height based on the same benchmark. The direction of hydrodynamic runoff is closely related to the equivalent converted water level, i.e., it flows from a higher equivalent converted water level to a lower equivalent converted water level. Equivalent converted water level The calculation formula is:
[0101] (10)
[0102] in
[0103] (11)
[0104] In the formula: For equivalent water level, m; Let be the absolute elevation of the bottom of the well in the study area, in meters (m). Let be the absolute elevation of the reference surface of the study area, in meters (m). The formation pressure is expressed in Pa. For pressure calculation, Pa; The relative density of groundwater with depth A changing function; The relative density of fresh water is 1.
[0105] Step 104: Based on the aquifer thickness, aquifer proportion, fracture density, and equivalent water level in the study area, the average water production per 100-meter drop in the liquid level is determined using multiple regression analysis.
[0106] Step 104 of this embodiment of the invention is based on the risk assessment of external water overflow recharge using multiple regression analysis, and includes the following steps.
[0107] a. Based on the "100-meter liquid level drop - main control factors", a multiple linear regression calculation was performed. The 100-meter liquid level drop of multiple wells was compared with the main control factors of external water overflow recharge, including: fracture density, aquifer thickness, aquifer proportion, and equivalent water level. The weight coefficients of different factors were calculated.
[0108] (12)
[0109] In the formula, This represents the average water production per 100-meter drop in the liquid level of the study area. , , and These are the fracture density, aquifer thickness, aquifer proportion, and equivalent water level of the study area, respectively. , , and These are the weighting coefficients for fracture density, aquifer thickness, aquifer proportion, and equivalent water level, respectively.
[0110] b. Based on seismic geological calculations, the main controlling elements of external water overflow recharge of the target coal seam in the whole region are used to calculate the planar distribution characteristics of external water overflow recharge in the whole region using formula (12).
[0111] To illustrate the effectiveness of the method of the present invention, the following specific examples are provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
[0112] In this example, four parameters were selected from a high-water-yielding coalbed methane block: fracture density between coal seam 8 and L4, thickness of the limestone aquifer, aquifer proportion, and equivalent water level. Multiple regression analysis was used to compare the differences in water production per unit liquid level drop and average water production per well as parameters characterizing water production risk. Coal seam 8 is one of the main mineable coal seams in the lower section of the Taiyuan Formation, with a stable thickness (average 2–4 m), making it a key focus for coalbed methane and mine water control. Limestone L4, located on the roof of coal seam 7, is 5–10 m thick, with a stable distribution throughout the area and moderate karst fissure development; it is one of the three main limestone aquifers in the Taiyuan Formation.
[0113] (1) Average water production per 100-meter drop in water level
[0114] The fitting relationship and correlation coefficient R between the average water production from the 100-meter drop in water level and the fracture density, equivalent water level, aquifer thickness, and aquifer proportion in the (8 coal seam to L4 limestone section) 2 like Figure 2 As shown in (a), (b), (c), and (d) in the figure.
[0115] The average water production from the 100-meter drop in liquid level is fitted with the following formula using the fracture density, total limestone thickness, and cumulative limestone-to-land ratio of the No. 8 coal seam-L4 limestone section:
[0116] The average water production per 100-meter drop in water level = -1611.879 + 34262.268 × (fracture density of coal seam 8 to L4 limestone section) - 7.340 × (thickness of aquifers L1 + L2 + L3 + L4) + 1442.872 × (thickness percentage of aquifers L1 to L4). Among these, L1, L2, L3, and L4 are four marine limestone marker layers in the lower section of the Taiyuan Formation, numbered sequentially from bottom to top.
[0117] The above-mentioned multiple regression fitting formula was used to calculate the 100-meter drop in liquid level across the entire area. The calculation results were normalized and used as a parameter for the external water overflow recharge intensity (water production risk coefficient) of coal seams 8 / 9 in the study area, and water production risk assessment was carried out in the three-dimensional area. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the southeastern to southern parts of the three-dimensional area have a relatively high risk of high water yield, while the central and northeastern parts of the study area have a relatively lower risk.
[0118] This invention is based on a comprehensive analysis of seismic inversion lithology, thickness and fracture prediction, hydrogeology, and development parameters. Under the guidance of the geological control factors of overflow recharge, it achieves the integration of seismic longitudinal and transverse spatial prediction with macro-geological analysis. Based on the control elements of overflow recharge capacity predicted by seismic geology, it uses multivariate regression analysis to obtain the evaluation of the overflow recharge capacity of external water sources in coal reservoirs. Compared with existing technical solutions that only qualitatively analyze the source of coal seam water production and rely solely on parameter wells, which cannot reflect the heterogeneity of longitudinal and transverse spaces, this invention achieves a quantitative evaluation of the risk of overflow recharge of external water sources in coal reservoirs through integrated seismic and geological methods and determines the bulk modulus of organic components in coal reservoirs. This provides a solid theoretical basis for the analysis and evaluation of coal reservoir water production and the design of water avoidance and control schemes.
