45 results about "Geosteering" patented technology

Geosteering is the optimal placement of a wellbore based on the results of realtime downhole geological and geophysical logging measurements rather than three-dimensional targets in space. The objective is usually to keep a directional wellbore within a hydrocarbon pay zone defined in terms of its resistivity, density or even biostratigraphy. In mature areas, geosteering may be used to keep a wellbore in a particular section of a reservoir to minimize gas or water breakthrough and maximize economic production from the well. In the process of drilling a borehole, geosteering is the act of adjusting the borehole position (inclination and azimuth angles) on the fly to reach one or more geological targets. These changes are based on geological information gathered while drilling. Originally only a projected target would be aimed for with crude directional tools. Now the advent of rotary steerable tools and an ever-increasing arsenal of geophysical tools enables well placement with ever-increasing accuracy. Typically a basic tool configuration will have directional and inclination sensors, along with a gamma ray tool. Other options are neutron density, look ahead seismic, downhole pressure readings et al. Due to the vast volume of data generated, especially by imaging tools, the data transmitted to surface is a carefully selected fraction of what is available. Data is collected in memory for a data dump when back on surface with the tool.

A method of optimizing a geological model by scanning the hole angle

ActiveCN116201528BGeosteeringWell logging
This invention discloses a method for optimizing a geological model by scanning the well inclination angle. It aims to solve the problem of low efficiency and poor accuracy in directional drilling where the geological model inclination angle is constantly fitted to the actual drilling curve to correct the geological model. The core steps are as follows: Step 1: Establish a geological steering model for the current drilling based on the logging and structure of the completed well. Step 2: Set the actual logging curve of the drilling trajectory AB segment as the target curve, and extract the simulated curve from the geological steering model along this segment of the well trajectory. Step 3: Set the inclination scanning range 'a' and the scanning step size 'dlt', read the well inclination angle ∠A at point A, and perform an inclination scanning of the well inclination of segment AB with a step size of 'd1t' within the range of ∠A-a to ∠A+a, extracting the simulated curve from the model at each inclination angle. Step 4: Calculate the similarity between the simulated curve and the target curve using the similarity calculation formula within the range of ∠A-a to ∠A+a, and record the inclination angle difference when the similarity is the maximum. Step 5: Use the angle difference recorded in Step 4 to make the geological model angle after point A equal to the original angle plus the angle difference. Step 6: To ensure continuous model updates, calculate the inclination point forward from point A, thereby guiding directional drilling.
