AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the depth of Stoneley wave detection in porous media is unclear, leading to uncertain permeability inversion results and making it unsuitable for effective application in complex reservoirs.
By constructing a wellbore formation model and adjusting the radial thickness of the formation for numerical simulation, the energy attenuation coefficient of Stoneley waves was calculated and normalized to determine the detection depth of Stoneley waves.
It improves the accuracy of Stoneley wave detection range in porous and permeable formations, significantly enhances the reliability and scientific validity of permeability inversion results, and perfects the theoretical framework for propagation and permeability evaluation under complex reservoir conditions.
