This trend has put forward higher requirements for the environmental adaptability of logging equipment. At the same time, high-resolution imaging instruments are also being used on a large scale. As a key parameter for high-resolution lateral logging interpretation, the engineering value of mud resistivity is very important for logging efficiency and data interpretation.
[0003] The conductivity of mud resistivity is achieved through the directional movement of ions under the influence of an electric field. During well logging, the temperature rises, which accelerates the movement of ions, thus enhancing the conductivity of the mud and reducing its resistivity. In addition, under increased pressure, the conductive channels of the mud are compressed, reducing their volume and increasing the number of ions per unit volume, thereby enhancing conductivity and reducing the resistivity of the mud.

[0024] During well logging operations, as drilling depth increases, wellbore temperature and pressure parameters rise. This application proposes a temperature and pressure adaptive mud resistivity correction device and method. The device includes two sets of temperature sensors, one set of external well pressure sensors, and one set of external mud resistivity sensors. The temperature sensors are divided into two stages: an external temperature sensor and an internal temperature sensor. This device can accurately obtain the engineering value of mud resistivity, and is particularly suitable for ultra-high temperature and high pressure wells. During logging, the device can adaptively correct for both temperature and pressure, improving its temperature and pressure characteristics. This significantly reduces the impact of external environmental factors on the measured mud resistivity, effectively obtaining the true value of formation mud resistivity, and providing necessary information for logging data processing and comprehensive interpretation.
[0025] Figure 1 A structural block diagram of a temperature and pressure-adaptive mud resistivity correction device according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the device includes: an external temperature sensor 101, an internal temperature sensor 102, an external well pressure sensor 103, an external mud resistivity sensor 104, and an internal working circuit.
[0026] External temperature sensor 101 is used to acquire the temperature change of the surface over which the mud flows on the device, i.e., the change in external temperature or well mud temperature. Internal temperature sensor 102 is used to acquire the temperature change of the internal working circuit of the device, i.e., the change in internal temperature. External well pressure sensor 103 is used to acquire the well mud pressure. External mud resistivity sensor 104 is used to acquire the voltage difference generated by the current flowing through the mud using four sets of ring electrodes, and then to calculate the mud resistivity. In this embodiment, the environmental information used for correction includes external temperature, internal temperature, and well mud pressure. This multi-path acquisition of environmental information comprehensively considers multiple influencing factors from both the external and internal environments, unlike the singular correction method used in existing mud resistivity testing devices.
[0027] The internal working circuit includes: a drive and calculation circuit, a temperature and pressure linearization circuit 109, an acquisition and adaptive circuit 110, a communication circuit 111, and a power supply circuit 112.
[0028] The driving and calculation circuit is a working circuit related to the external mud resistivity sensor 104. The driving and calculation circuit is used to: drive the external mud resistivity sensor 104 to work, and calculate the mud resistivity measurement value based on the emitted current and the voltage difference obtained by the external mud resistivity sensor 104.
[0029] Specifically, the driving and calculation circuit includes: a phase-shift oscillation circuit 105, a current driving circuit 106, a filter amplification circuit 107, and a phase-sensitive detection circuit 108. The external mud resistivity sensor 104 acquires current and voltage information through four sets of ring electrodes. The ring electrodes include inner and outer ring transmitting electrodes and two receiving electrodes. The phase-shift oscillation circuit 105 generates a transmitting signal, which, after being driven by the current driving circuit 106, flows into the mud through the inner and outer ring transmitting electrodes. The receiving electrodes are located between the inner and outer ring transmitting electrodes. When current flows through the mud, a voltage difference is generated on the two receiving electrodes. Considering that this voltage difference signal is very weak, a filter amplification circuit 107 is also provided to extract this weak voltage difference. The phase-sensitive detection circuit 108, through phase detection, extracts the resistive component in phase with the current in the voltage difference, eliminates reactive interference, and then, based on the transmitted current and the acquired voltage difference, can calculate the mud resistivity measurement value.
[0030] The temperature and pressure linearization circuit 109 is used to: process the information output by the external temperature sensor 101 to obtain external temperature information parameters, process the information output by the internal temperature sensor 102 to obtain internal temperature information parameters, and process the information output by the external well pressure sensor 103 to obtain external pressure information parameters.
[0031] The temperature and pressure linearization circuit 109 can filter and reduce noise from the information output by the external temperature sensor 101, the internal temperature sensor 102, and the external well pressure sensor 103 to obtain external temperature information parameters, internal temperature information parameters, and external pressure information parameters.
[0032] Specifically, the extraction of external temperature information parameters is achieved through external temperature sensor 101 and temperature and pressure linearization circuit 109. External temperature information parameters refer to the dynamic change information of external temperature with logging depth, which can directly affect the mud resistivity measurement value.
[0033] The extraction of internal temperature information parameters is achieved through the internal temperature sensor 102 and the temperature and pressure linearization circuit 109. The internal temperature information parameters refer to the temperature change information of the internal working circuit of the device. During the actual use of the device, the temperature of the mud outside the device will be conducted to the internal working circuit. Under this influence, the electronic components of the internal working circuit will experience a certain temperature drift. The drift can be reflected in multiple aspects such as offset voltage, circuit noise, resistance value, and capacitance value. This influence occurs through multiple paths within the same temperature environment.
[0034] The extraction of external pressure information parameters is achieved through an external well pressure sensor 103 and a temperature and pressure linearization circuit 109. External pressure information parameters refer to the changes in mud pressure within the well. The strain gauge in the external well pressure sensor 103 can sense the mud pressure inside the wellbore. Under pressure, the strain gauge generates a resistance difference. Utilizing this characteristic, the changing resistance value is converted into a voltage value, which is then collected and processed by the temperature and pressure linearization circuit 109 to obtain accurate external pressure information parameters.
[0035] The adaptive acquisition circuit 110 is used to: correct the mud resistivity measurement values obtained from the drive and calculation circuits based on external temperature, internal temperature, and external pressure information parameters, thereby obtaining the target mud resistivity engineering value. Under harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure, the adaptive correction method reduces the measurement error of mud resistivity parameters. The target mud resistivity engineering value obtained after correction calculation can be used for wellbore environment analysis, effectively solving the influence of temperature and pressure on the mud resistivity engineering value, and providing reliable data support for the analysis and interpretation of logging curves by resistivity imaging instruments.
[0036] The communication circuit 111 is used to communicate with external devices, such as initiating the measurement and correction of mud resistivity according to the instructions of the external devices, and transmitting the target mud resistivity engineering value to the external devices. The power supply circuit 112 is used to provide power to the drive and calculation circuit, the temperature and pressure linearization circuit 109, the acquisition adaptive circuit 110, and the communication circuit 111.
[0037] In this embodiment of the application, the device includes a pressure-bearing housing, and an external temperature sensor 101, an external well pressure sensor 103, and an external mud resistivity sensor 104 are compactly mounted on the external surface of the device using a pressure-bearing structure, that is, mounted on the external surface of the pressure-bearing housing of the device; an internal printed circuit board is provided inside the pressure-bearing housing, and the internal temperature sensor 102 and the internal working circuit are mounted on the internal printed circuit board of the device.
[0038] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the external structure of a mud resistivity correction device based on temperature and pressure adaptation is shown, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, during well logging, the device is placed in the well containing drilling mud. An external temperature sensor 101, an external well pressure sensor 103, and an external mud resistivity sensor 104 are compactly mounted on the external surface of the device using a pressure-bearing structure. The external temperature sensor 101 is mounted at a 45° angle on the external surface to ensure full contact with the mud surface and obtain effective external temperature parameters. The external well pressure sensor 103 is radially mounted on the external surface. The strain gauge in the external well pressure sensor 103 senses the mud pressure inside the wellbore. The sensed information is processed by a temperature and pressure linearization circuit to obtain effective external pressure parameters. An external mud resistivity sensor 104 is mounted vertically at a 90° angle on the outer surface of the device. Current and voltage information are acquired through four sets of ring electrodes. The transmitted signal is generated by a phase-shift oscillating circuit, and after being driven, flows into the mud through the inner and outer ring transmitting electrodes. The receiving electrode is located between the inner and outer ring transmitting electrodes. When current flows through the mud, a voltage difference is generated between the two receiving electrodes. The ratio of the received voltage difference to the transmitted current is linearly related to the mud resistivity value, thus achieving the measurement of mud resistivity. These external sensors employ a special absolute pressure-bearing structure, and the compact installation method greatly reduces the overall device length, shortening the connection paths between circuits and sensors. This differs from the pressure-balancing structure and segmented structure with long connection paths in existing mud resistivity testing devices.
[0039] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a temperature and pressure-adaptive mud resistivity correction device is shown, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the internal temperature sensor 102 is mounted on the internal printed circuit board of the device by soldering, with the sensing surface fully exposed to the air. In conjunction with the temperature and pressure linearization circuit, effective internal temperature information parameters can be obtained.
[0040] In this embodiment, the adaptive acquisition circuit is further used to: determine a mathematical calculation model between mud resistivity and temperature and pressure based on external temperature information parameters, internal temperature information parameters and external pressure information parameters; use the mathematical calculation model to correct the mud resistivity measurement value to obtain the corrected mud resistivity value; and then use the LMS algorithm to filter the corrected mud resistivity value to obtain the target mud resistivity engineering value.
[0041] To facilitate temperature and pressure-adaptive mud resistivity correction, a mathematical calculation model relating mud resistivity to temperature and pressure was pre-established. This mathematical model includes: a first calculation model corresponding to external temperature parameters, a second calculation model corresponding to internal temperature parameters, and a third calculation model corresponding to external pressure parameters.
[0042] In the adaptive correction process based on external temperature information parameters, the extraction of external temperature information parameters is achieved through an external temperature sensor and a temperature and pressure linearization circuit. The expected resistivity value is obtained based on laboratory experimental data. The first calculation model uses standard NaCl solutions with different resistivities to simulate mud solutions with different resistivities. The standard NaCl solutions with different resistivities are heated using a heating device. The calculation model between mud resistivity and external temperature is established based on the resistivity change data recorded under different temperature environments during the experiment. Specifically, the experiment uses standard NaCl solutions to simulate mud solutions. The standard NaCl solutions are heated using a heating device, with the temperature gradually increasing in steps of 30℃, varying between 30℃ and 175℃. Four standard NaCl solutions with resistivities of 0.04Ω•m, 0.1Ω•m, 1Ω•m, and 10Ω•m are selected for the experiment. The resistivity change data of the four standard NaCl solutions under different temperature environments are recorded. Based on the experimental data, a calculation model between mud resistivity and external temperature is established, i.e., the first calculation model is established.
[0043] In the adaptive correction process based on external pressure information parameters, the extraction of external pressure information parameters is achieved through an external well pressure sensor and a temperature and pressure linearization circuit. The expected resistivity value is obtained based on laboratory test data. The third calculation model uses standard NaCl solutions with different resistivities to simulate mud solutions with different resistivities. A piston-type pressure gauge is used to pressurize the standard NaCl solutions with different resistivities. The calculation model between mud resistivity and pressure is established based on the resistivity change data recorded under different pressure environments during the experiment. Specifically, the experiment uses standard NaCl solutions to simulate mud solutions. A piston-type pressure gauge is used to pressurize the standard NaCl solutions, with the pressure increasing in 10 MPa increments, varying between 0 MPa and 100 MPa. Four standard NaCl solutions with resistivities of 0.04 Ω•m, 0.1 Ω•m, 1 Ω•m, and 10 Ω•m are selected for the experiment. The resistivity change data of the four standard NaCl solutions under different pressure environments are recorded. Based on the experimental data, a calculation model between mud resistivity and pressure is established, i.e., the third calculation model.
[0044] The influence of external environmental factors, namely temperature and pressure, is dynamic, and there is a certain correlation between environmental variables and the expected value of mud resistivity. Firstly, a chi-square test can be used to statistically analyze the data characteristics to determine whether a significant relationship exists between mud resistivity and the environment. The chi-square (x... 2 The formula for the statistic is:
[0045]
[0046] Analysis of laboratory test data shows that temperature, pressure environment and mud resistivity are closely related.
[0047] Next, the correlation between temperature and mud resistivity, and between pressure (i.e., in-well mud pressure) and mud resistivity test data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0048] Where r represents the Pearson correlation coefficient; and Let X and Y represent the data of the i-th sample point, respectively. This represents the sample mean of variable X; X represents the sample mean of variable Y. When analyzing the correlation between temperature and mud resistivity, variables X and Y are specifically temperature and mud resistivity, respectively; when analyzing the correlation between pressure and mud resistivity, variables X and Y are specifically pressure and mud resistivity, respectively.
[0049] The above calculations show that the Pearson correlation coefficient between temperature and mud resistivity is 0.961, and the Pearson correlation coefficient between pressure and mud resistivity is 0.965, indicating that the two environmental variables of external temperature and pressure are linearly correlated with the mud resistivity value.
[0050] Data preprocessing is performed based on data correlation statistical analysis. The preprocessed data is then standardized, and temperature and pressure values are selected as independent variables. The least squares method is used to fit the data, thereby obtaining an effective regression calculation model and eliminating the influencing factors caused by dynamic environmental changes.
[0051] In the adaptive correction process based on internal temperature information parameters, the extraction of these parameters is achieved through an internal temperature sensor and a temperature and pressure linearization circuit. The influence of multiple paths exists at different temperature points, but the result is solely determined by the mud resistivity value. The second calculation model corresponding to the internal temperature information parameters needs to comprehensively consider the temperature drift throughout the entire circuit operation. Due to differences in noise, slew rate, and other aspects, the uncertainty of the parameters requires personalized correction parameters for different devices. The second calculation model includes polynomial fitting equations, which are generated by performing temperature tests on the device using a high-temperature drying oven and a simulated resistivity network, based on standard resistivity values and the internal temperature and resistivity values recorded during the test. Specifically, the device is tested using a high-temperature drying oven and a simulated resistivity network, with the temperature increasing in 30°C increments. Temperature and resistivity values are recorded during the increase, and combined with standard values to generate a set of polynomial fitting equations, from which the expected standard mud resistivity value is derived.
[0052] In this embodiment, the data processing flow encompasses the preprocessing (including filtering, noise reduction, and statistical analysis) of the information output from the acquired external temperature sensor, internal temperature sensor, and external well pressure sensor, as well as how to apply the processed data to mud resistivity correction calculations. Information from the external temperature sensor, internal temperature sensor, and external well pressure sensor is acquired. Key sensor characteristic information is collected through temperature and pressure linearization circuits. After filtering and noise reduction, external temperature parameters, internal temperature parameters, and external pressure parameters are obtained. Based on the characteristics of these parameters, a corresponding mathematical calculation model is determined. The external temperature parameters, internal temperature parameters, and external pressure parameters are then statistically analyzed and preprocessed. Finally, corresponding correction parameters are generated according to a specific algorithm. These correction parameters are obtained by fitting experimental data, enabling more accurate correction of mud resistivity measurements based on actual conditions. This achieves adaptive correction of the mud resistivity engineering value, effectively improving the reliability and accuracy of the device, unlike the data processing and analysis flow in existing mud resistivity measurement technologies. The correction parameters include: external temperature correction parameters, internal temperature correction parameters, and pressure correction parameters.
[0053] Specifically, the adaptive acquisition circuit is further used to: generate external temperature correction parameters using the first calculation model and external temperature information parameters, and perform correction calculations on the mud resistivity measurement values based on the external temperature correction parameters, thereby reducing the error between the expected and ideal values using an algorithm; generate internal temperature correction parameters using the polynomial fitting equation in the second calculation model and internal temperature information parameters, and perform correction calculations on the mud resistivity measurement values based on the internal temperature correction parameters; and generate pressure correction parameters using the third calculation model and external pressure information parameters, and perform correction calculations on the mud resistivity measurement values based on the pressure correction parameters.
[0054] Next, the adaptive acquisition circuit uses the LMS algorithm to filter the corrected mud resistivity value, completing noise cancellation and signal equalization to obtain the target mud resistivity engineering value. The adaptive acquisition circuit is further used to: use the LMS algorithm to set initialization parameters based on historical data and relevant environmental information provided by the storage unit during each iteration. Specifically, during each iteration of the LMS algorithm, the storage unit can quickly provide historical data and relevant environmental information for reference during data processing to complete the setting of initialization parameters. This filtering method, combining historical data from the storage unit with the iterative algorithm, effectively improves the convergence speed and stability of the operation, exhibiting excellent filtering performance.
[0055] Optionally, the temperature and pressure linearization circuit is further used to: filter and reduce noise on the information output by the external temperature sensor, the internal temperature sensor, and the external well pressure sensor according to the preset priorities of the external temperature sensor, the internal temperature sensor, and the external well pressure sensor, so as to obtain external temperature information parameters, internal temperature information parameters, and external pressure information parameters.
[0056] Specifically, internal and external sensors can work collaboratively with data processing and calibration calculations according to a preset priority and threshold change mechanism. Priorities can be pre-set for external temperature sensors, internal temperature sensors, and external well pressure sensors based on the importance of external temperature parameters, internal temperature parameters, and external pressure parameters in the calibration calculations. Sensor data required for adaptive calibration is then transmitted to the circuits involved in data processing (e.g., temperature and pressure linearization circuits, adaptive acquisition circuits) according to the preset priority. This allows the circuits involved in data processing to immediately initiate the data processing flow for that data and rationally allocate computing resources based on the importance of the data in the calibration calculations, thereby improving the device's response speed and calibration accuracy to changes in key data.
[0057] To facilitate verification of the device's effectiveness, the calculations of the aforementioned external temperature, internal temperature, and external pressure parameters can be performed in a time-sharing manner. The device was tested using a high-temperature, high-pressure reactor to simulate the wellbore environment, with the test environment divided into three groups: high-temperature environment, high-pressure environment, and high-temperature, high-pressure environment. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The diagrams show a comparison of adaptive correction before and after application under high temperature and high pressure conditions, respectively. Figure 4 The blue and orange dots in the diagram represent the data of the sample points before and after temperature correction in the experiment, respectively. The blue and orange dotted lines represent the polynomial curves corresponding to the mud resistivity obtained by fitting the experimental data before and after temperature correction, respectively. Figure 5 The blue and orange dots in the diagram represent the data of sample points before and after pressure correction in the experiment, respectively. The blue and orange dotted lines represent the polynomial curves corresponding to the mud resistivity obtained by fitting the experimental data before and after pressure correction, respectively. Experiments have proven that the temperature and pressure adaptive mud resistivity correction device provided in this application embodiment can perform accurate measurements in an environment of 175 degrees Celsius and 140 MPa.
[0058] According to the temperature and pressure adaptive mud resistivity correction device provided in this application embodiment, the device is equipped with two sets of temperature sensors, one set of external well pressure sensors, and one set of external mud resistivity sensors. This device can be applied to the measurement and correction of oil-based and water-based mud resistivity parameters in open-hole well logging. It has an adaptive mechanism for high-temperature and high-pressure environments, and can automatically determine the corresponding correction parameters and mathematical calculation models according to temperature and pressure changes. It performs adaptive correction from both temperature and pressure aspects, improving the temperature and pressure characteristics of the device. This significantly reduces the impact of external environmental factors such as temperature and pressure on the engineering value of mud resistivity, reduces mud resistivity measurement errors, effectively obtains the true value of formation mud resistivity, improves measurement accuracy, ensures the accuracy of logging data interpretation, and provides reliable and necessary information for logging data processing and comprehensive interpretation.
