Abstract
Description
In-situ shale oil well construction method, deviation magnetic guidance system and multi-wellbore anti-collision system Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of oil and gas exploration and production, and in particular to a shale oil in-situ well construction method, a deviation magnetic guidance system, and a multi-wellbore anti-collision system. Background Art
[0002] The underground in-situ mining method is a mining method suitable for shale oil resources buried deep. It refers to the shale oil buried underground. By artificially heating the underground low-maturity shale oil reservoir without mining, the solid kerogen is cracked into oil and gas in situ, and then it is mined using corresponding technology. This development method improves mining efficiency, reduces the occupied area, and reduces the emission of hydrogen sulfide pollutants. It is an efficient, environmentally friendly and economical shale oil development model.
[0003] Current in-situ shale oil extraction technologies suffer from long heating cycles, high heat losses, environmental hazards, and low energy efficiency. Development demands strict control of well spacing and well trajectory error rates, while ensuring adequate underground extraction scale and heating efficiency.
[0004] Conventional measurement while drilling systems, such as continuous inclinometer systems based on geomagnetic guidance and gyroscopic inclinometer systems based on inertial navigation, use measured drill bit inclination and azimuth to calculate the drilling trajectory. These systems have large cumulative errors, poor real-time performance, and cumbersome calculations, making them unable to meet the high-precision guidance requirements of wells with complex structures.
[0005] The anti-collision scanning method in the existing technology is to interpolate the well inclination and azimuth data measured by the inclinometer to obtain the spatial coordinates at a specified well depth, analyze the instrument's error ellipse based on the calibrated instrument error, and calculate the separation coefficient and center distance to analyze the distance between the two wells. However, due to the existence of cumulative errors, the utilization rate is not high for situations where the distance is short and the well depth is long.

[0036] The following will describe in detail the implementation methods of this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples, so that the application can fully understand how technical means are used to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects, and implement them accordingly. It should be noted that as long as there is no conflict, the various embodiments and the various features in each embodiment of this application can be combined with each other, and the resulting technical solutions are all within the scope of protection of this application.
[0037] Additionally, the steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings may be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different from that shown.
[0038] Referring to FIG. 1A , the shale oil in-situ well construction method provided in this application specifically includes:
[0039] S101 arranges ground excitation coils on the ground of the corresponding area according to the location information of the shale oil heating area, and constructs a magnetic beacon through the ground excitation coils;
[0040] S102 uses geosteering technology to construct horizontal edge wells at the upper and lower boundaries of the shale oil reservoir, and constructs vertical wells that penetrate the shale oil reservoir in the corresponding area based on the location information of the shale oil heating area;
[0041] S103: constructing a standard horizontal well based on the vertical well by using a deviation magnetic guidance technology, and constructing a production well and multiple heating wells based on the standard horizontal well by using a dual horizontal well magnetic ranging technology with the magnetic beacon as a reference; wherein the production well and the heating well are three-dimensionally distributed in parallel in the formation and do not intersect with each other;
[0042] S104 obtains the well pattern deployment of the unit wells according to the production wells and the heating wells.
[0043] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1B, in actual work, the reservoir range of shale oil can be delineated, and the drilled heating wells and production wells are all located within the reservoir, wherein the shale oil reservoir boundary 1, that is, the interior of the upper and lower boundaries is the low-maturity shale oil zone. At least two edge wells 2 are drilled on the reservoir boundary using geosteering technology. The edge wells are horizontal wells on the reservoir boundary. The geosteering technology can enable the edge wells to reach the reservoir boundary more accurately and control the wellbore trajectory to extend on the reservoir boundary. The edge wells are mainly used to standardize the vertical depths of the heating wells and production wells to prevent them from drilling through the shale oil reservoir and reduce unnecessary engineering losses. In this embodiment, magnetic ranging technology is used to complete the drilling process of various wells, including heating wells, production wells, and observation wells (which can be standard horizontal wells). A unit well network is composed of heating wells, production wells, and observation wells, and multiple unit wells form a large underground factory, which expands the heating range of the shale oil reservoir and improves mining and production efficiency.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 1C again, in which the ground rectangular coil 1 and the ground power supply 2 constitute a magnetic beacon, and the measuring probe 5 and the signal transmission short section 4 in the horizontal well 3 are set on the drill bit 6 to measure the magnetic beacon on the ground, thereby determining the current drill bit position.
[0045] Referring to FIG. 2 , in one embodiment of the present application, constructing a production well and a heating well using the magnetic beacon as a reference based on the standard horizontal well by using the dual horizontal well magnetic ranging technology includes:
[0046] S201 measures the magnetic field distribution of the magnetic beacon at the measuring point by a magnetic sensor array in the drilling tool to obtain a detection signal, and extracts the amplitude of the detection signal to obtain signal change data;
[0047] S202 calculates the rate of change of the magnetic field component in the corresponding direction based on the signal change data, and uses a three-dimensional Newton gradient descent method to solve the magnetic field magnitude of the AC coil to obtain the position coordinates of the measuring point relative to the magnetic beacon;
[0048] S203 controls the wellbore trajectory of the drilling according to the position coordinates to construct the production well and the heating well.
[0049] The step of extracting the amplitude of the detection signal to obtain the signal change data includes: extracting the amplitude of the detection signal to obtain the signal change data by using an orthogonal detection algorithm or a matched filtering algorithm.
[0050] Specifically, in actual operation, the above-mentioned embodiment primarily employs a rectangular conductor deployed on the surface as a magnetic beacon. A magnetic sensor array in the drill string measures the magnetic field distribution at the measuring point. Orthogonal detection and matched filtering algorithms are used to extract the signal amplitude, and the rate of change of the magnetic field components in the corresponding directions is calculated. A three-dimensional Newton gradient descent method is used to determine the magnitude of the AC coil's magnetic field, obtaining the position coordinates of the measuring point relative to the magnetic beacon, ultimately achieving precise control of the wellbore trajectory. Overall, trenchless engineering techniques are employed when drilling the horizontal section of a horizontal well. A rectangular conductor is deployed on the surface as a magnetic beacon. A magnetic sensor array in the drill string measures the magnetic field distribution at the measuring point. Orthogonal detection and matched filtering algorithms are used to extract the signal amplitude, and the rate of change of the magnetic field components in the corresponding directions is calculated. A three-dimensional Newton gradient descent method is used to determine the magnitude of the AC coil's magnetic field and the cross-shaped magnetic target's magnetic field, obtaining the position coordinates of the measuring point relative to the magnetic beacon, ultimately achieving precise control of the wellbore trajectory.
[0051] Referring to FIG. 3A , in one embodiment of the present application, constructing a standard horizontal well using the deviated magnetic guidance technology according to the vertical well includes:
[0052] S301 calculates position parameters of the horizontal well using the vertical well as a reference coordinate, and adjusts the wellbore trajectory of the standard horizontal well at a preset key node according to the position parameters;
[0053] S302 constructs a standard horizontal well according to the wellbore trajectory.
[0054] Specifically, in step S301, calculating the position parameters of the horizontal well using the vertical well as a reference coordinate may include: placing a probe into the vertical well, and calculating the relative position of the horizontal well and the standard vertical well based on the magnetic field signal generated by the probe detected by the magnetic short joint in the horizontal well; and obtaining the position parameters of the horizontal well based on the relative position analysis.
[0055] In practice, before drilling a standard well, vertical wells are drilled every 5 to 6 meters above the horizontal section of the standard well. As shown in Figure 1B, vertical well 3 must vertically penetrate the entire shale oil reservoir to facilitate later formation temperature monitoring. The standard well is a long horizontal well, with the horizontal section located within the shale oil reservoir boundary. A "U"-shaped needle penetration technique is used. When drilling the horizontal section of the standard well, a probe pipe 7 is lowered into the vertical well. The probe pipe 7 is positioned within the vertical well 3. In the standard well, a magnetic sub 8 is connected to the drill bit. Magnetic field signals are used to locate the drill bit, and the relative position of the horizontal well and the vertical well 3 is calculated. Parameters such as the horizontal well's inclination and azimuth are analyzed to control the wellbore's extension according to the designed trajectory. For key points (such as monitoring points, landing points, and target points), "U"-shaped needle penetration magnetic ranging technology is used. Based on a vertical well, a standard well is drilled in the shale oil reservoir, and a probe is placed in the horizontal section of the drilled standard well. On this basis, magnetic ranging technology is used to drill another horizontal well with the standard well as a reference. During the drilling process, magnetic signals are collected and analyzed in real time to calculate the relative positions of the two wells, and then the wellbore trajectory is adjusted in real time to improve drilling accuracy.
[0056] In one embodiment of the present application, the plurality of heaters are distributed at the intersection of a regular hexagon, heating the production well at the center of the regular hexagon. Furthermore, constructing the production well and the plurality of heater wells separately using the standard horizontal well using dual horizontal well magnetic ranging technology with the magnetic beacon as a reference further includes adjusting the wellbore trajectories of the production well and the plurality of heater wells during the construction process using a rotary steerable tool (RSS).
[0057] Specifically, referring to Figures 1B and 3B, a unit well consists of six heater wells and one production well. Formations 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, and 108 are located on different planes. The well pattern is located within a shale oil reservoir, with margin well 2, heater well 4, and production well 5 forming the unit well pattern. After the standard well is drilled, the remaining horizontal wells are drilled using dual-horizontal magnetic ranging technology. During horizontal well drilling, the nearest completed horizontal well is selected as a reference well. A probe is placed in the reference well, and a strong magnetic sub is connected to the drill bit in the active well. Magnetic signals are calculated and analyzed in real time to adjust the wellbore trajectory, thereby improving drilling accuracy and reducing collisions between closely spaced horizontal wells. An optional rotary steerable system (RSS) can be used to address the issue of insufficient control precision in dual-horizontal wells, significantly improving control accuracy. A complete unit well pattern is a regular hexagon. The heating wells are evenly distributed at the intersection of the regular hexagon to heat the entire unit area; the production wells are located at the center of the regular hexagon to produce liquid hydrocarbons converted from kerogen by heating; the heating wells and production wells are distributed in three-dimensional parallel in the formation and do not intersect with each other.
[0058] In summary, the shale oil in-situ well construction method provided in this application mainly includes the following five steps in its implementation process:
[0059] 1. Set up marginal wells at the upper and lower boundaries of the shale oil reservoir;
[0060] 2. Achieve a "U"-shaped connection between standard horizontal wells and vertical wells;
[0061] 3. Use dual horizontal well magnetic ranging technology to drill other horizontal wells, including heater wells and production wells;
[0062] 4. Complete the well pattern deployment of a unit well;
[0063] 5. Deploy multiple unit well networks to build underground factories. (The construction process of multiple unit wells can refer to the above steps 1 to 4)
[0064] Referring to FIG. 4 , in one embodiment of the present application, constructing a production well and multiple heating wells using the magnetic beacon as a reference based on the standard horizontal well through the dual horizontal well magnetic ranging technology further includes:
[0065] S401 injects high-frequency electromagnetic waves into the surrounding formations through the linear electrodes of the downhole tool string, causing the metal casing in the adjacent well to gather downward current and generate magnetic field signals;
[0066] S402: obtaining the relative position of the current well and the adjacent well by signal separation and calculation based on the electromagnetic signal collected by the probe in the adjacent well;
[0067] S403 adjusts the wellbore trajectory of the current well according to the relative position.
[0068] Referring again to FIG5A , the relative positions of the current well and the adjacent well are obtained by signal separation and calculation based on the electromagnetic signals collected by the probes in the adjacent wells, including:
[0069] S501 performs cluster analysis on the electromagnetic signal to obtain cluster data;
[0070] S502 constructs a mixing matrix based on the clustering data, and obtains trial calculation data by solving a linear programming using the mixing matrix;
[0071] S503: A plurality of source signals are obtained by transform domain separation according to the trial calculation data, and the relative positions of the current well and the adjacent wells are obtained by performing wavelet transform on the source signals.
[0072] The above adjustment process is mainly applicable to multi-wellbore collision prevention, and its specific implementation process can include the following steps:
[0073] 1. The ground industrial computer controls the linear electrodes of the downhole tool string to inject high-frequency electromagnetic waves into the surrounding formations;
[0074] 2. Most of the electromagnetic waves are attracted to the metal casing of the adjacent well, where they gather to generate upward and downward currents.
[0075] 3. Use probes to collect the magnetic field and posture generated by the downward current concentrated in the metal casings of multiple adjacent wells;
[0076] 4. Transmit the data to the ground industrial computer through a cable, and the other end of the industrial computer is connected to the computer equipment;
[0077] 5. Execute the signal separation procedure and then simultaneously calculate the distance between the drilling well and the adjacent wells.
[0078] Specifically, the signal separation process in step 5 is as follows: cluster analysis of the mixed signal; estimation of the mixing matrix; trial calculation and solution of the linear programming; separation of multiple source signals in the transform domain; and restoration of multiple source signals through wavelet transform. In actual work, the above process is used as follows:
[0079] The adjacent well casing, linear electrode and current well casing are divided into sufficiently small segments. At this time, these micro segments can be regarded as point current sources, as shown in Figure 5B. Where t is the depth from the point source to the ground, m; h i is the interface depth of the i-th layer, m; σ i is the conductivity of the i-th layer, S / m. The Green's function of the source point of the i-th layer and the field point of the j-th layer is:
[0080] Where j ranges from [1, n], J0(λx) is a zero-order Bessel function, and the following identity exists:
[0081] Combined formula (1) and the boundary conditions of each layer:
[0082] A in formula (1) can be solved ij and B ij :
[0083] Using the prony algorithm, we can find a in formula (4) and formula (5): k 、b k 、c k d k , T is the number of items between 3 and 6.
[0084] According to formula (1), formula (2), formula (4) and formula (5), the Green function is obtained:
[0085] Since the lengths of the adjacent well casings, linear electrodes, and the current well casing are much greater than their own diameters, they can be regarded as one-dimensional linear conductors. Therefore, the potential generated by the current leaking from the casing or linear electrode at any point in the formation can be expressed by the leakage current density ξ (in A / m) as follows:
[0086] The adjacent well casing, linear electrode and current well casing are divided into H section, J section and K section respectively. (unit is V) is the potential generated by the nth micro segment on the mth micro segment, R mn (unit: Ω) is the impedance between the nth micro-segment and the mth micro-segment, I n (unit is A) is the current on the nth micro segment, then the potential of all micro segments gathered on the mth micro segment is:
[0087] And the impedance R mn It can be expressed as:
[0088] When the nth micro-segment and the mth micro-segment are located in the same stratum, formula (6) and formula (9) can be combined to calculate R mn :
[0089] When the nth micro-segment and the mth micro-segment are located in different strata, formula (6) and formula (9) can be combined to calculate R mn :
[0090] Since the resistivity of the casing and the linear electrode is very small, they can be regarded as equipotential bodies, so:
[0091] According to Kirchhoff's current law, the current in the casing and the linear electrode is:
[0092] Among them, I g is the power supply output current, A.
[0093] Combining formula (8), formula (12) and formula (13), the leakage current calculation matrix is established:
[0094] Where b, e, and r represent the adjacent well casing, linear electrode, and current well casing, respectively, and: [I b I e I r ] T =[I1 I2…I (H+J+K) ] T(16) ones(H,1)=[1 1…1] H×1 T (17) ones(1,H)=[1 1…1] 1×H (18) zeros(H,1)=[0 0…0] H×1 T (19) zeros(1,H)=[0 0…0] 1×H (20)
[0095] In addition, the formats of ones(J,1), ones(1,J), zeros(J,1), zeros(1,J), ones(K,1), ones(1,K), zeros(K,1), and zeros(1,K) in formula (14) are consistent with those in formulas (17) to (20).
[0096] By using formula (14), the currents on the adjacent well casing, linear electrode, and current well casing can be calculated as follows:
[0097] Since the linear electrode and the probe are coaxial and very close, the magnetic field signal generated by the linear electrode can be ignored. The electromagnetic signal detected by the probe is the sum of the magnetic induction intensity generated by the current in the casing of the adjacent well and the current well. According to Biot-Savart's law:
[0098] In this way, the relative position of the current well and the adjacent wells can be calculated based on the electromagnetic signals detected by the probe.
[0099] The present application also provides a deviated magnetic guidance system suitable for the above-mentioned shale oil in-situ well construction method, the system comprising a measuring probe, a discharge electrode, a magnetic short section and a data acquisition device; the magnetic short section is arranged at the drill bit position of the horizontal well, and is used to generate a magnetic signal; the discharge electrode and the measuring probe are placed into the bottom of the vertical well through a cable; wherein, the discharge electrode is used to discharge into the formation, triggering the drill string in a preset area to generate a magnetic signal; the measuring probe is used to collect magnetic signals in a preset area; the data acquisition device is connected to the measuring probe, and is used to calculate the relative position of the horizontal well and the standard vertical well based on the collected magnetic signals.
[0100] Please refer to Figure 6 for details. In actual work, the deviated magnetic guidance system consists of a target well 1, a logging cable 2, a discharge electrode 3, a measuring probe 4, a drill bit 5, a magnetic short joint 6, a screw drill 7, a drill string 8, a drilling well 9, a data acquisition system 10, and a power supply 11.
[0101] The logging cable 2, discharge electrode 3, measuring probe 4, data acquisition system 10, and power supply 11 form a passive magnetic guidance system. The measuring probe 4 is located at the bottom of the target well. The discharge electrode 3 discharges into the formation through the logging cable 2 and power supply 11. This current, upon encountering the drill string, generates a magnetic signal, which the measuring probe 4 captures along with the magnetic signal generated by the magnetic sub 6. When the horizontal well drill bit is within 2 meters of the vertical well, the magnetic detection accuracy error can be controlled to within 1%, enabling the closest distance between vertical and horizontal wells to be controlled to the centimeter level. When deploying a horizontal well pattern, vertical well detection can effectively prevent collisions between horizontal wells, providing navigational assistance. Furthermore, a thermos-shaped structure has been added to the measuring probe 4, increasing the temperature resistance of the core measurement system from 125°C to over 200°C.
[0102] The present application also provides a multi-wellbore anti-collision system suitable for the shale oil in-situ well construction method, the system comprising a probe, an insulating tape, an electromagnetic wave transmitter and a data processing device; the probe is lowered to the bottom of the current well and connected to the electromagnetic wave transmitter through the insulating tape; the electromagnetic wave transmitter is used to inject high-frequency electromagnetic waves into the surrounding formations according to control instructions, so that the metal casing in the adjacent well gathers downward current and generates a magnetic field signal; the probe provides the collected electromagnetic signals of the adjacent wells to the data processing device; the data processing device obtains the relative position of the current well and the adjacent well through signal separation calculation based on the electromagnetic signal.
[0103] Please refer to FIG. 7 for details. In actual operation, the multi-wellbore anti-collision system includes a probe 6 , an insulating tape 7 , an electromagnetic wave transmitter 8 , a seven-core cable 9 , an industrial computer 10 and computer equipment 11 .
[0104] Among them, the downhole tool string is as follows from bottom to top: the probe 6 is lowered to the bottom of the drilling well 1, connected to the electromagnetic wave transmitter 8 through the insulating tape 7, and then leads to the seven-core cable 9, and the other end is connected to the industrial computer 10 through the standard interface, and the computer equipment 11 is connected to the industrial computer 10.
[0105] The specific implementation process is as follows: When the active well 1 reaches the collision-avoidance section with adjacent wells 3 and 5, the drill string in the active well 1 is removed, and a downhole tool string connected by a seven-core cable 9 is placed into the active well 1. When operation is required, an industrial computer 10 controls an electromagnetic wave transmitter 8 to inject electromagnetic waves 12 into the surrounding formation. Because the electromagnetic absorption capacity of the metal casing far exceeds that of the formation, the electromagnetic waves 12 converge on the adjacent well metal casings 2 and 4, forming upward and downward currents 13 and 15, thereby generating magnetic field signals 14 and 16. The magnetic field signals 14 and 16 and the position of the adjacent well metal casings 2 and 4, respectively, collected by the probe 6, are transmitted to the industrial computer 10 and computer device 11 via the communication channel of the seven-core cable 9. Computer device 11 then uses the multi-borehole collision-avoidance measurement method of the present invention to determine the relative positions of the active well 1 and adjacent wells 3 and 5. Specifically, computer device 11 can be any device with program computing capabilities, including but not limited to computers, mobile phones, tablet computers, microcomputers, and other intelligent devices.
