The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0041] With the development of the oil and gas industry, large-scale integrated oil and gas reservoirs are becoming increasingly rare. Domestic and foreign energy companies are paying more and more attention to the exploration of low-porosity, low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs, and the research focus is gradually shifting to unconventional oil and gas resources, including deep carbonate rocks, tight sandstone, and shale. Microscopic petrophysical characterization techniques for these complex reservoirs face challenges, such as diverse lithology, complex pore structure, and strong heterogeneity. Real and effective testing can help geologists identify dominant reservoirs.

[0042] Fractures and cavities serve as storage spaces and flow channels for oil and gas resources, which are crucial for the effective development of these resources. Their internal characteristics and geometric distribution affect the process of comprehensive geological assessment and provide a scientific basis for the selection of oil and gas extraction areas. Drilling cores from wells is an essential step in accurately characterizing fracture and cavity features.

[0043] While meter-scale wellbore microresistivity scanning imaging logging and nanometer-scale core CT scanning technologies exist for multi-scale downhole formation assessment, centimeter-scale physical signal acquisition technologies are still lacking. This limits geophysicists' understanding and assessment of reservoir details. Therefore, developing new downhole centimeter-scale physical signal acquisition technologies will significantly improve the understanding of complex reservoirs based on in-well physical signals, thereby promoting the effective development of oil and gas resources.

[0044] In situations where core samples exhibit rich geological features, peri-well resistivity scanning imaging logging is the primary detection method. Establishing reservoir effectiveness evaluation technology centered on vertical wells and conducting imaging logging interpretation are important technological development directions for the exploration and development of complex oil and gas reservoirs. Taking the carbonate strata of the Sichuan Basin as an example, their complex and variable lithology, diverse micropore types, and the differences in conductivity of different mud systems lead to multiple interpretations in microresistivity imaging logging.

[0045] Therefore, the most common technical method currently used by oil and gas technical service companies is to calibrate microresistivity imaging logging using core samples drilled downhole. The entire wellbore is cylindrical, and the drilled core is also cylindrical. Because the core sleeve has a certain thickness, the well wall measured by imaging logging is not the same as the side of the cylindrical core. When the lithology, porosity, or structure of the formation changes horizontally, the downhole microresistivity image cannot be calibrated using the core.

[0046] To solve this technical challenge, it is urgent to develop an experimental device capable of measuring the electric field characteristics of the side surface of a core cylinder. Furthermore, based on the summary and analysis of core experimental data, a resistivity image library representing different rock characteristics such as lithology and pore type should be formed to further improve the reliability and accuracy of geological inversion based on microresistivity imaging logging.

[0047] In the field of rock electric field detection technology, the vast majority of resistivity measurements are performed on planar rocks. The method of inducing current on the outer surface of columnar cores is unique, and the research on this device can provide new research methods for detecting composite materials of different shapes. Furthermore, by comparing core analysis with electrical imaging logging results, and combining this with electric field distribution characteristic maps, reservoirs can be identified and evaluated more accurately. This is of great significance for oil and gas field development planning and production decisions, and helps improve development efficiency and economic benefits.

[0048] To address the aforementioned deficiencies, this application provides a resistivity imaging method based on core surface resistivity measurement. First, the resistivity conversion value is calculated based on the voltage of each button electrode. Second, the apparent resistivity of the core sample surface is calculated based on the resistivity conversion value and the resistivity of the electrolyte. Third, the standard deviation of each button electrode and the total standard deviation of all button electrodes on all metal plates are calculated based on the apparent resistivity. Then, the resistivity of the core sample surface is calculated based on the individual standard deviations and the total standard deviation. Finally, a core surface resistivity imaging map is obtained based on the resistivity of the core sample surface.

[0049] The proposed solution calculates resistivity based on the resistivity conversion value, apparent resistivity, individual standard deviation, and total standard deviation, and performs imaging based on the calculated resistivity. This improves the accuracy of resistivity imaging, offers flexibility, and demonstrates strong ease of use and practicality.

[0100] Therefore, the electrode layout and imaging method of this application can accurately reflect the formation porosity characteristics and electrical response, improve the effect of underground resource exploration and engineering monitoring, and also improve the quality and efficiency of well logging data interpretation, which has a guiding role in the development of oil and gas reservoirs.

[0101] The resistivity imaging method based on core surface resistivity measurement provided in this application first calculates the resistivity conversion value of each button electrode based on the voltage of each button electrode. Then, it calculates the apparent resistivity of the core sample surface based on the resistivity conversion value and the resistivity of the electrolyte. Next, it calculates the standard deviation of each button electrode and the total standard deviation of all button electrodes on all metal plates based on the apparent resistivity. Then, it calculates the resistivity of the core sample surface based on the individual standard deviations and the total standard deviations. Finally, it obtains a core surface resistivity imaging map based on the resistivity of the core sample surface.

[0102] The proposed solution calculates resistivity based on the resistivity conversion value, apparent resistivity, individual standard deviation, and total standard deviation, and performs imaging based on the calculated resistivity. This improves the accuracy of resistivity imaging, offers flexibility, and demonstrates strong ease of use and practicality.

[0103] This application utilizes a high-precision electric field sensor and image processing algorithm to achieve accurate measurement of the electric field on the rock surface and accurate identification of pore features. It enables uniform movement and precise positioning of the arc-shaped focusing electrode on the rock surface, and, in conjunction with the signal acquisition system, can accurately record electrical parameters at different locations.

[0104] The proposed method can extract the resistivity distribution of rock surfaces, and then analyze the relationship between different lithologies, different pore space types and electric fields, providing important electrical property information for oil and gas exploration.

[0105] The research and development effects of this application are specifically reflected in two aspects: First, by measuring the surface resistivity distribution characteristics of a large number of full-diameter rock samples, a rock surface resistivity image plate library covering various lithologies, micropore types, and rock structures is established, solving the problem of identifying electrical characteristics and rock types; Second, the plate library is used to conduct quality assessment of the interpretation results of downhole microresistivity imaging logging, improving the utilization rate of downhole microresistivity imaging logging data and providing a basis for the rock physical characterization and geological evaluation of high-quality reservoirs.

[0106] This application aims to achieve the following key objectives: (1) High-precision measurement: The designed device will adopt advanced sensing technology and precision machining process to ensure that the measurement accuracy reaches within 0.1 inches, accurately capturing the tiny resistivity changes on the rock surface, thereby accurately reflecting the complex geological structure and pore characteristics.

[0107] (2) Strong adaptability: The electrode clamp will have wide applicability to different rock sizes, rock compositions, structural features and mineralization. It can work stably in a variety of conductive solution environments and meet the measurement needs under different geological conditions.

[0108] (3) Convenient operation and positioning: Through the fine design of the stepper motor, users can easily adjust and fix the electrode device at any height to ensure that the electrode maintains the best contact with the rock surface. At the same time, the integrated control software can indicate the potential distribution of the core surface at the current position in real time, reduce human error and improve work efficiency.

[0109] (4) Comprehensive analysis capability: The supporting software system will integrate data analysis function, which can automatically process measurement data, quickly generate electrical imaging maps of rock surfaces, and combine core rolling scan photos to help researchers to deeply interpret the stratigraphic structure, judge the sedimentary environment and oil and gas potential, and effectively solve the problem of multiple interpretations of electrical imaging logging.

[0110] In summary, this application not only fills the gap in the domestic field of experimental detection of rock surface resistivity, but will also greatly promote the technological progress of geophysical and rock physics research, providing strong technical support for the effective development of complex oil and gas reservoirs.
