Description

Technical Field

[0002] Fractured bodies refer to reservoirs developed within a strike-slip fault context, consisting of faults, associated fractures, and tight, low-permeability sandstone altered by these faults, with impermeable argillaceous rocks and tight layers sealing off the upper and lateral sides. From the fault outwards, based on the degree of fracture development, they are successively divided into breccia zones and fracture zones, with occasional cavities developing in the fault core. Fractured bodies are a promising sweet spot type in tight reservoirs, identified in recent years during tight oil exploration and development in the southern margin of the Ordos Basin, and represent a favorable target for high-yield and efficient tight oil development. Exploration and development practice shows that fractured bodies develop in association with strike-slip faults, with the strike-slip faults controlling the size and distribution of fractured bodies.

[0003] Currently, the geological understanding of fractured bodies mainly focuses on the macroscopic level, including their development scale, geological boundaries, distribution patterns, and reservoir formation models. However, many geological problems and unresolved geological parameters still exist at the reservoir description level, which seriously restricts the detailed description and prediction of fractured body reservoirs, reserve evaluation, and deployment of development wells.

[0042] Figure 1 The schematic diagram illustrates a flowchart of a multi-scale characterization method according to an embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, the multi-scale characterization method includes the following steps: Step 1: Obtain profile images of geological outcrops within the target area; Step 2: Identify one or more fracture bodies distributed in the geological outcrops from the profile images, and measure the first-scale characterization of each fracture body. Step 3: Determine the first local profile image corresponding to each fracture body, extract the crack zone and fracture zone that make up the corresponding fracture body from the local profile image, and measure the second-scale characterization of the crack zone and fracture zone. Step 4: Determine the corresponding second local profile image for each fracture zone, and determine the fault characterization, cavity characterization, fracture characterization and bedrock physical property characterization of the corresponding fracture zone based on the second local profile image. Step 5: Determine the corresponding third local profile image for each fracture zone, and based on the third local profile image, determine the fracture characterization and bedrock physical property characterization of the corresponding fracture zone; and Step 6: Fault characterization, cavity characterization, fracture characterization, and bedrock physical property characterization are used as the third-scale characterization of the fracture body.

[0043] It should be understood that, although Figure 1 The steps in the flowchart are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order in which these steps are executed, and they can be performed in other orders. Figure 1 At least some of the steps in the process may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least some of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0044] In this embodiment, a field outcrop profile with well-developed faults, complete exposure, and typical fracture structure characteristics is preferred. First, a high-precision UAV is used to conduct a comprehensive planar scan of the outcrop to obtain basic information about the outcrop and the planar distribution characteristics and patterns of the fault (or fracture body). Then, detailed profile information such as faults, cavities, fractures, and lithology is obtained through orthophoto and oblique measurements of the UAV profile. The digital model of the fracture body obtained through the above steps is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, from Figure 2 The composition of a fractured body identified in the sample is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0045] In some implementations, step 1 may include the following sub-steps: Step 101: Acquire original profile images of the geological outcrops from multiple angles using an image acquisition device; Step 102: Process the original profile image into a point cloud and perform 3D registration of the point cloud to obtain a registered point cloud model; Step 103: Construct a white body model of the TIN network based on the registered point cloud model. Project the collected original cross-sectional images from multiple angles into the white body model to obtain a measurable three-dimensional model of the geological outcrop and cross-sectional images from multiple angles.

[0046] The purpose of step 2 is to obtain the external contour information of the fracture body. In some implementations, it also includes the statistics, analysis and visualization of the external contour information.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first scale characterization includes the geometry of the fracture body profile and the first characterization parameter, which includes one or more of the following: measured values, statistical values, and / or correlation coefficients: width, height, perimeter, and area.

[0048] In some implementations, obtaining information about the external contour of the fracture body can be achieved by first obtaining easily accessible near-surface profile information such as faults, cavities, cracks, and lithology through manual measurement; then, a three-dimensional digital outcrop model can be established using high-precision UAV scanning image information, which can be used as a carrier to identify and measure geological information and data of fracture bodies at different levels.

[0049] In some implementations, the statistical analysis and visualization of external contour-related information includes: The qualitative information of the external contour of the fracture is the shape of the fracture. Based on the fracture number, the cross-sectional shape of different fractures is statistically analyzed, such as conical, spindle-shaped, cylindrical, etc. The quantitative data of the external contour of the fracture includes parameters such as width (W), height (H), perimeter (D), and area (A). Due to the irregular shape of the fracture, width data needs to be measured at different locations from top to bottom. Based on the fracture number, they are numbered W1-1, W1-2, W1-3, etc., and so on for fractures with different numbers. The height (H), perimeter (D), and area (A) parameters of each fracture are unique, and are numbered H1, H2, ..., D1, D2, ..., A1, A2, ...

[0050] By comprehensively analyzing parameters such as width (W), height (H), perimeter (D), and area (A) of different fracture surfaces, the magnitudes of quantitative parameters (including maximum, minimum, average, median, variance, and standard deviation) and the correlations between these parameters are determined. Finally, the various parameters and correlations are visualized using histograms, line graphs, graphs, box plots, etc., forming qualitative and quantitative knowledge of the external contour of the fracture surface.

[0051] In some implementations, step 2 may include the following sub-steps: Step 201: Identify the external contours of fracture bodies distributed in geological outcrops based on the 3D model and profile images; and Step 202: Determine the number of each identified fracture body, and determine the measurement value of the first scale characterization of different parts of each fracture body according to the preset direction, wherein the preset direction is from top to bottom, from left to right, from bottom to top, or from right to left.

[0052] The purpose of step 3 is to obtain information on the internal composition and structure of the fracture body. In some implementations, this also includes the statistics, analysis, and visualization of the internal composition and structure information.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second-scale characterization of the fracture zone includes the structural combination of the fracture zone profile, the geometry, and a second characterization parameter. The second characterization parameter includes one or more of the following measured values, statistical values, and / or correlation coefficients: width, height, perimeter, and area. The second-scale characterization of the crack zone includes the geometry of the crack zone profile and a third characterization parameter. The second characterization parameter includes one or more of the following measured values, statistical values, and / or correlation coefficients: width, height, perimeter, and area.

[0054] In some implementations, the basic information of the fracture zone includes its structural combination and geometry. Based on the fracture body number, the structural combinations of different fracture bodies are statistically analyzed, including single-core, multi-core, etc.; the cross-sectional shapes include conical, spindle-shaped, cylindrical, etc. Quantitative data for the fracture zone includes parameters such as fracture body width (W), height (H), perimeter (D), and area (A). Due to the irregular shape of the fracture zone, width data needs to be measured at different locations from top to bottom. Based on the fracture body number, they are numbered W1-1, W1-2, W1-3, etc., and so on for fracture bodies with different numbers. The height (H), perimeter (D), and area (A) parameters of each fracture zone are unique, and are numbered H1, H2, ..., D1, D2, ..., A1, A2, ... The basic information of the crack zone mainly concerns its geometry.

[0063] The fracture characterization and bedrock physical property characterization of the fracture zone are the same as those of the fracture zone, and will not be repeated here.

[0064] In some implementations, step 4 may include the following sub-steps: Step 401: Extract the corresponding second local profile image of the current fracture zone from the first local profile image based on the identified structural combination and geometry; Step 402: Based on the dissection and analysis of the second local profile image, identify each fault, cavity, and fracture in the current fracture zone, and determine: the fault nature of each fault, the filling characteristics of each cavity, and the background lithofacies and filling characteristics of each fracture. Step 403: Determine the third-scale characterization measurements of different locations of each fault, cavity, and fracture according to a preset direction, wherein the preset direction is from top to bottom, from left to right, from bottom to top, or from right to left; and Step 404: Obtain the bedrock porosity and permeability measured from the rock sample taken at the corresponding location of the current fracture zone as the bedrock physical property characterization of the current fracture zone.

[0066] In step 6, the data obtained from the first-scale representation, second-scale representation, and third-scale representation are combined to obtain a dataset of multi-scale representation data, the storage structure of which is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the storage structure of the statistical data set obtained from multi-scale representation data is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the heat map of the fracture dip angle parameter in the statistical data set is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the rose diagram of the fracture dip angle parameter in the statistical data set is as follows: Figure 7 As shown.

[0067] In some implementations, the multi-scale characterization method may further include the following steps: Step 7: Obtain imaging logging data of the near-surface and subsurface portions of geological outcrops within the target area; Step 8: Based on the interpretation results of the imaging logging data, identify the first-scale, second-scale, and third-scale characteristics of the near-surface and subsurface portions of each fracture body.

[0068] Specifically, step 8 includes: Step 801, Quantitative Characterization of External Contour. Based on the interpretation results of imaging logging, combined with sonic transit time and resistivity logging, the degree of fracture development is identified. The boundary between fracture development and complete absence in the formation is determined as the fracture body boundary, and the width of the fracture development is determined, which is the width of the fracture body's external contour. Information from multiple wells is statistically analyzed to obtain quantitative information on the fracture body width (mean, median, maximum, and minimum values).

[0069] Step 802, Quantitative Characterization of Internal Structure. Based on the identification of the external contour of the fracture body, the internal structure of the fracture body is identified. First, the fracture zone of the fracture body is identified, and the area from the periphery of the fracture zone to the boundary of the fracture body is the fracture zone. Determining that the fracture density gradually decreases in the formation, and that there is no significant leakage of drilling fluid during actual drilling, the boundary of the fracture zone is defined, and the width of the fracture zone is calculated. The width of the fracture zone is the difference between the width of the external contour of the fracture body and the width of the fracture zone. Information from multiple wells is statistically analyzed to obtain quantitative information (mean, median, maximum, and minimum) on the width of the fracture zone and fracture segments of the fracture body.

[0070] Step 803, quantitative characterization of structural elements. Imaging logging mainly identifies the characterization parameters of faults and fractures in fractured bodies.

[0071] Quantitative fault characterization includes: imaging logging can identify the dip angle of faults. The most developed fracture zone is the location of fault development. The dip angle of the fault is calculated through imaging logging, and the characterization parameters of the fault dip angle (mean, median, maximum, and minimum values) are obtained.

[0072] Quantitative characterization of fractures includes obtaining fracture characterization parameters for fracture zones and fracture zones based on imaging logging information, including fracture orientation (T), dip angle (I), aperture (Ape), and density (D), and obtaining the average, median, maximum, and minimum values ​​of each characterization parameter.

[0073] Step 804 involves combining and analyzing the quantitative data of the three parts—external contour, internal structure, and structural elements—to form a digital model of the fractured body based on imaging logging identification, such as... Figure 8 As shown.

[0074] Digital models of fracture bodies identified by imaging logging can include the average, median, maximum, and minimum values ​​of several characterization parameters, such as fracture body width, fracture zone and fracture zone width, fault dip angle, fracture direction (T), dip angle (I), aperture (Ape), and density (D). This provides model guidance and data support for reservoir description, and guides the quantitative characterization and prediction of fracture bodies of different grades and types in adjacent wells.

[0075] Compared with the prior art, the technical advantages of this embodiment are as follows: Targeting fractured bodies within a strike-slip fault development context, this study selects typical fractured body outcrops and, guided by fractured body geological models, employs a hierarchical classification and nested approach to conduct qualitative and quantitative characterization of fractured bodies at three levels: external contour, internal structure, and structural elements. For each of these three levels, manual measurement and high-precision UAV scanning are used to acquire comprehensive, detailed outcrop information at different scales. Information is classified and analyzed according to type and level, summarizing and quantitatively characterizing the geological information of the fractured bodies. Combining the analysis of outcrop profile images and imaging logging data to obtain multi-scale characterization data of the aboveground and subsurface parts of the fractured bodies enables more accurate characterization. The study analyzes fractured bodies formed by faults of different types, such as those formed by extensional, compressional, and shear faults. This study analyzes the cross-sectional shape, perimeter, area, width, and height of fracture bodies controlled by each type of fault, and statistically analyzes the distribution range of these parameters for each type of fracture body. This provides a reference for the study of the external contour of underground fracture bodies, guides the calculation of their spatial volume, and ultimately forms qualitative and quantitative geological knowledge of different types of fracture bodies, guiding comprehensive research on underground fracture bodies. It also statistically analyzes the basic information and characterization parameters of fracture zones and crack zones, obtaining qualitative information on structural combinations and geometric shapes, and quantitative information on width, height, perimeter, and area. The distribution range of these parameters is statistically analyzed, providing qualitative models and quantitative parameters for the study of the internal structure of underground fracture bodies. Furthermore, it statistically analyzes the structural elements of fracture zones and crack zones, including qualitative and quantitative information on faults, cavities, cracks, and altered bedrock properties in fracture zones, and qualitative and quantitative information on cracks and bedrock properties in crack zones. The maximum, minimum, average, median, variance, and standard deviation of the quantitative information are statistically analyzed. This summarizes a quantitative geological model for fracture bodies, guiding the study of the complexity of their internal structures and the heterogeneity of underground fracture bodies, thus improving the reliability and accuracy of reservoir characterization. This invention provides a multi-scale characterization method for fracture bodies based on geological outcrops. First, a multi-scale characterization model is established according to the multi-scale characterization method of the previous embodiment. Then, the multi-scale characterization data of the fracture body is predicted based on the trained multi-scale characterization model. This multi-scale characterization method includes: Based on the multi-scale characterization method of this application, multi-scale characterization data of geological outcrops in the target area are determined, and training and test datasets are constructed. A multi-scale representation model is trained using a training dataset and validated using test data; and Based on the validated multi-scale characterization model, predict the multi-scale characterization data of uncharacterized underground fracture bodies within the target area.

[0076] Specifically, the multi-scale representation model may include a first prediction model, a second prediction model, and a third prediction model, which are used to predict the first-scale representation, the second-scale representation, and the third-scale representation, respectively. The input data for the first prediction model are the external contour data of the geological outcrop and the geometry of the fracture body profile, and the output is the first-scale representation. The input data for the second prediction model are the structural combination of the fracture zone profile, the geometry of the fracture zone profile, the geometry of the fracture zone profile, and the first-scale representation, and the output is the second-scale representation. The input data for the third prediction model are fault properties, cavity filling characteristics, background lithofacies of fractures, filling characteristics and second characterization parameters, and the output is a third-scale characterization.

[0077] Compared with the prior art, the technical advantage of this embodiment is that it combines the quantitative data of the three parts of external contour, internal structure and structural elements to construct training dataset and test dataset and train a multi-scale representation model, which provides pattern guidance and data support for reservoir description and guides the quantitative representation and prediction of different levels and different fracture bodies in adjacent wells.
