Problems solved by technology

This method solves the problem of the relationship between the horizontal wellbore trajectory and the formation to a certain extent, but it also has its own limitations: 1) When the wellbore trajectory crosses the formation boundary at a low angle, the horizontal well logging curve reflects The stratigraphic interface obtained is not a point, but a "interval", and it is difficult to determine the exact interface point; 2) When the adjacent vertical well logging data is projected onto the main azimuth of the horizontal well trajectory, if the stratum has a certain dip angle and gradual change or even facies change, the projected curve loses its representative structural features
This method is suitable for strata with relatively gentle geological structure and stable distribution of sand bodies. If there are complex geological problems such as lens-shaped sand bodies or muddy interlayers in the strata, and denudation at the top and bottom of the strata, it is difficult to accurately describe the true nature of the strata. However, the relationship between the wellbore trajectory and the formation cannot be accurately described.

Embodiment 1

[0042] Before finely describing the relationship between the wellbore trajectory and the formation of the C_H horizontal well, first determine the position of the C_H horizontal well in the oil and gas reservoir structure, analyze the logging, geology, drilling and mud logging information of the regional vertical well, and be familiar with the area where the C_H horizontal well is located. Geological data volume, standardization of well logging curves, establishment of top-bottom structure model of C_H horizontal well drilling target layer.

[0043] On the basis of stratigraphic correlation, three wells, A, B, and C, were selected for fine sand body correlation. Among them, well C is the pilot well of horizontal well C_H, and the trajectory of horizontal well C_H is drilled along the direction of well A. , to build a grid map of sand bodies, such as figure 1 It can be seen from the grid map of sand bodies that there is no muddy interlayer in Well C (measured depth 3594.87-3605...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for depicting the relationship between horizontal well track and strata, comprising the following steps: (1) acquiring the position information of a horizontal well on an oil and gas reservoir structure to get a geological data body of an area where the horizontal well is located; (2) standardizing the well logging curve of vertical wells and pilot hole wells in the area where the horizontal well is located; (3) performing stratigraphic comparison to determine the top and bottom limits of a drilling target stratum of the horizontal well, and building a target stratum top and bottom structure model; (4) selecting a vertical well adjacent to the horizontal well, and conducting multi-well fine sand body comparison to form a sand body fence diagram; (5) building a 3D sand body model; (6) collecting sand body slices along the horizontal well track in the 3D sand body model to get an initial model of the relationship between horizontal well track and strata; and (7) correcting sand body slices around the horizontal well track to realize visual representation and fine depiction of the relationship between horizontal well track and strata. By using the method, fine depiction of the relationship between horizontal well track and strata is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of highly deviated / horizontal well logging evaluation, and relates to a method for describing the relationship between a horizontal well borehole trajectory and a stratum. Background technique [0002] With the gradual improvement of horizontal well development technology, the number of horizontal wells has increased significantly. While developing horizontal wells on a large scale, new requirements have been put forward for well logging. It is urgent to carry out systematic research on horizontal well logging evaluation methods. The primary task of horizontal well logging evaluation is to clarify the geometric relationship between the wellbore trajectory and the formation, determine whether the wellbore trajectory has encountered the target layer, where in the target layer, and the distance from the upper and lower boundaries of the target layer, etc. [0003] At present, there are mainly two-dimensional pr...
