Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas seismic exploration and drilling technology, specifically relating to a three-dimensional pore pressure prediction method, equipment, storage medium and program based on rock physical analysis. Background Technology

[0002] Formation pore pressure and its formation mechanism. Formation pore pressure is the pressure exerted by fluids (oil, gas, water) in the pores and fractures of a formation. In normal geological environments, when the formation is normally compacted, the formation pore pressure equals the hydrostatic pressure at that location; this is called normal formation pore pressure. The magnitude of normal formation pore pressure is related to the properties of the underground fluids. In special geological environments, when the formation pore pressure is higher or lower than the hydrostatic pressure, it is called abnormal formation pore pressure. Formation pore pressure higher than the hydrostatic pressure is called abnormally high pressure or overpressure. Formation pore pressure lower than the hydrostatic pressure is called abnormally low pressure or underpressure. Abnormal formation pore pressure is widely distributed, appearing in metamorphic rocks of the Precambrian to sedimentary rocks of the Cenozoic. Oil and gas exploration practice shows that during drilling, normal formation pore pressure, abnormally high pressure, and abnormally low pressure can all be encountered, but abnormally high pressure occurs more frequently and is more significant for the petroleum industry. Abnormal formation pressure phenomena are widespread in my country's oil and gas basins, with abnormally high-pressure formations existing in the Bohai Bay Basin, Tarim Basin, Junggar Basin, and Qaidam Basin. These unpredictable abnormally high-pressure formations pose significant challenges to oil and gas exploration, drilling, and development.

[0003] The causes of abnormal high pressure are diverse, and the phenomenon may be due to a combination of factors, including geological, physical, chemical, and dynamic factors. In 1994, scholar Ward, from the perspective of stress-strain relationship during sedimentary compaction, classified the formation mechanism of abnormal high pressure into three categories: The first category conforms to the original loading curve, i.e., unbalanced compaction. Unbalanced compaction occurs when, as the deposition and burial depth of overlying sediments increase, the pore drainage capacity weakens or stops, and the load of the continuing to increase overlying sediments is partially or entirely borne by pore fluids. The effective load (vertical effective stress) required for further compaction of sediments decreases or remains unchanged, resulting in under-compacted strata and abnormally high-pressure strata. The second category conforms to the unloading curve, mainly including abnormal high pressure formed by pore fluid expansion (hydrothermal pressurization, hydrocarbon generation, montmorillonite dehydration, hydrocarbon cracking, etc.) and abnormal high pressure formed by strata uplift and erosion caused by tectonic movements. The third category is caused by tectonic compressive stress, fluid density differences, etc., without changes in porosity. In actual drilling operations, unbalanced compaction is the most common mechanism for generating abnormal high pressure, and tectonic compression is also an important pressure-increasing mechanism in basins with intense tectonic activity.

[0004] Significance of Formation Pore Pressure Prediction. Formation pore pressure is crucial for drilling engineering. It serves as fundamental data for calculating in-situ stress, formation collapse pressure, and fracture pressure; it is an important basis for determining casing layers and casing depth; and it is key to rationally designing drilling fluid density and implementing near-balanced, underbalanced, and controlled pressure drilling. Therefore, the accurate determination of formation pore pressure has significant economic value for safe, rapid, and low-cost drilling, as well as preventing and avoiding complex drilling accidents. In petroleum geology, formation pore pressure, or the fluid potential converted from pressure, is one of the main controlling factors in the formation and distribution of oil and gas reservoirs, and serves as the basis for the study of oil and gas reservoir hydrodynamics.

[0005] Current Formation Pore Pressure Prediction Methods and Their Limitations. Pore pressure prediction methods are categorized based on data sources, including measured formation pore pressure methods, drilling data prediction methods, well logging data prediction methods, and seismic data prediction methods. According to their sequence with the drilling process, they can be divided into pre-drilling prediction methods, monitoring while drilling methods, and post-drilling detection methods. Pre-drilling prediction methods process and interpret existing seismic data for the region, combining it with geological data and analysis of adjacent well drilling data to determine the distribution of underground formation pressure in the target area and predict the formations, depths, and magnitudes of abnormally high pressure. Prediction accuracy primarily depends on the quality of the seismic data, the rationality of the prediction model, and the understanding of geological stratification and lithology. Since unbalanced compaction is the most common mechanism for the formation of abnormally high pressure, widely present in sandstone and mudstone formations, commonly used methods include the equivalent depth method, the Eaton method, and the Bowers method. The Eaton method, based on a normal compaction trend line, has become one of the most widely used methods for predicting formation pore pressure using well logging data since its introduction in 1972, offering high prediction accuracy. However, this method is based on post-drilling pore pressure prediction using existing wells. For undrilled areas, well logging data is unavailable, making it impossible to obtain normal compaction trend lines and thus preventing the use of the Eaton method for pore pressure prediction. Currently, the commonly used prediction method is based on empirical models, but this method is highly susceptible to formation velocities and requires setting different rock skeleton velocities and fluid velocities, which can easily lead to significant errors in actual calculations. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Step 5: Combine well logging data and 3D seismic data in the work area to carry out well-seismic joint inversion, obtain elastic parameter volume, and convert the elastic parameter volume and 3D velocity range volume to the depth domain through time-depth conversion;

[0014] Step 6: Combine the three-dimensional velocity range volume with the elastic parameter volume obtained by inversion to calculate the formation pore pressure data volume.

[0015] Preferably, in step 1, for a three-dimensional research area, assuming r wells have been drilled in the area, each well has complete logging data, including sonic transit time data, density data, shear wave velocity data, clay content data, and gamma data. Each type of logging data can be represented by a curve, with the horizontal axis representing the data value, including clay content and gamma values, and the vertical axis representing the depth, indicating the data values ​​measured at different depths. The logging data is collected and organized, and obvious distortions and outliers are removed. The logging data types to be processed are selected. Let n types of logging data be selected, including porosity data, gamma data, P-wave data, S-wave data, density data, permeability data, and resistivity data. Each type of logging data has m data points from shallow to deep. Then the logging data are combined into a matrix G.

[0028] |G(R ij )-G ij |≤E j (4);

[0029] When the calculation error of the j-th type of logging data at data point i exceeds the set error threshold, where i = 1, 2, ..., m1; j = 1, 2, ..., n, it is necessary to adjust the mineral component with the largest calculated mineral content, i.e., to find the maximum (R) value. i Let r be the value of r. ki Here, k represents the mineral with the highest percentage content in the j-th type of logging data at calculation point i, where k = 1, 2, ..., p; then the mineral value x is adjusted according to the following formula:

[0030] If G(R) ij )-G ij If x > 0, then x jk =x jk -0.02x jk (5);

[0031] If G(R) ij )-G ij If x < 0, then x jk =x jk +0.02x jk (6);

[0032] After adjustment, the error is recalculated. If the error is less than the set threshold, the calculation stops. If the error is greater than the set threshold, the mineral composition values ​​need to be further adjusted until the threshold condition is met. After each adjustment calculation is completed, the mineral composition value X is updated synchronously.

[0041]

[0094] Step 6: Combine the three-dimensional velocity range volume with the elastic parameter volume obtained by inversion to calculate the formation pore pressure data volume.

[0095] In step 1, for a three-dimensional research area, assuming r wells have been drilled, each well has complete logging data, including sonic transit time data, density data, shear wave velocity data, clay content data, and gamma ray data. Each type of logging data can be represented by a curve, with the horizontal axis representing the data value (including clay content and gamma ray values) and the vertical axis representing the depth, indicating the data values ​​measured at different depths. The logging data is collected and organized, and obvious distortions and outliers are removed. The method for removing outliers from logging data is relatively mature and will not be described in detail here. The logging data types to be processed are selected. Let n types of logging data be selected, including porosity data, gamma ray data, P-wave data, S-wave data, density data, permeability data, and resistivity data. Each type of logging data has m data points from shallow to deep. The logging data are then combined into a matrix G.

[0111] If G(R) ij )-G ij If x < 0, then x jk =x jk +0.02x jk (6);

[0112] After adjustment, the error is recalculated. If the error is less than the set threshold, the calculation stops. If the error is greater than the set threshold, the mineral composition values ​​need to be further adjusted until the threshold condition is met. After each adjustment calculation is completed, the mineral composition value X is updated synchronously.

[0158] Example 4

[0159] This embodiment employs the three-dimensional pore pressure prediction method based on rock physical analysis described in Embodiment 2. It utilizes well logging and seismic data obtained from a specific work area to predict formation pore pressure within the area based on rock physical analysis. An experiment is now conducted according to the invention's process, as follows:

[0160] The logging data from the eight wells drilled in the work area were analyzed and organized. Abnormal distortion values ​​in the logging data were optimized and removed to ensure that all logging data values ​​were within a reasonable range, providing accurate basic data for subsequent rock physics analysis and mineral composition content calculation. The logging data included seven types of logging data: P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, density, gamma, resistivity, permeability, and compensation seed, which formed the data matrix G in formula (1).

[0161] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the target strata for the study area are clearly defined as the Triassic and Permian systems, which transition from shallow sandstone and mudstone strata to deep carbonate rock strata. Therefore, the target strata are divided into two parts: the sandstone and mudstone strata above Xujiahe, and the carbonate rock strata below the bottom of Xujiahe. The mineral composition of the strata above Xujiahe includes clay, quartz, feldspar, mica, and kaolinite; the mineral composition of the strata below Xujiahe includes calcite, dolomite, quartz, clay, and gypsum. Porosity is added to the above two strata, and each mineral in the two strata is assigned a value for each well logging data. The specific value range is based on the rock physical values ​​of common minerals in relevant rock physics literature, resulting in matrix X in formula (2). Based on formula (3), a formula for the proportion of mineral components in the Xujiahe and above strata is constructed and the proportion vector R1 is obtained. The well logging data composed of R1 and mineral component values ​​is compared with the actual values ​​of the well logging data. If the difference between the two is less than the error threshold, the optimal solution is obtained. If the difference between the two is greater than the error threshold, it is adjusted by formula (5) or formula (6), and the adjusted mineral component values ​​are used to reconstruct X and substituted into formula (3) to obtain a new mineral component proportion R1. The above steps are repeated to compare and analyze whether the interpolation between the synthesized well logging data and the actual well logging data is greater than the threshold and to perform corresponding processing until all errors are less than the set threshold range. The optimal mineral component proportion R1 of this segment is obtained. Similarly, the optimal mineral component proportion R2 of the carbonate rock segment below Xujiahe is calculated.

[0162] The bulk modulus and shear modulus ranges of the two layers are calculated sequentially. For the sandstone and mudstone layer above Xujiahe, the maximum and minimum bulk modulus are calculated using formulas (8)-(11); the maximum and minimum shear modulus are calculated using formulas (12)-(15). When calculating the maximum bulk modulus and maximum shear modulus, the percentage of porosity needs to be removed, and the percentage of the remaining minerals needs to be normalized before calculation.

[0163] Based on the obtained ranges of bulk modulus and shear modulus, as well as the logging density data, the maximum velocity V is calculated using formulas (16) and (17). max and minimum speed V minThe maximum and minimum seismic velocities within the target layer of a single well are combined with 3D seismic data, and the 3D maximum and minimum velocity volumes within the work area are obtained through inversion.

[0164] By combining existing well logging and seismic data within the work area, a high-precision three-dimensional velocity and density volumes were obtained using a combined well-seismic inversion method. Then, the inverted and calculated P-wave velocity, density, maximum velocity, and minimum velocity volumes were converted to a time-depth model, transforming the time-domain seismic data volume into the depth domain.

[0165] Combining the three-dimensional maximum and minimum velocity volumes, and the inverted elastic parameter volume, the formation pore pressure data volume is calculated according to formula (18). Before calculation, the inverted P-wave velocity volume V at each calculation point needs to be determined. t Is it at maximum speed body V? max Minimum velocity body V min Within the range. That is, whether V is satisfied. min <V t <V max If the value is within the acceptable range, normal calculations are performed. If the value is outside the acceptable range, there may be anomalies in the velocity. In this case, the median value of nine spatially adjacent points is used to replace the original value to form a new longitudinal wave velocity volume V. t '、Maximum velocity body V′ max and minimum velocity body Vv min Then, the formation pore pressure data volume is calculated using formula (19). The formation pore pressure data volume is as follows: Figure 6 As shown.

Any simple modifications or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
