斜井泥浆侵入仿真及其阵列侧向测井响应数值模拟

为了研究斜井泥浆侵入储层的井周岩石物理特征,采用广义曲线坐标系统模拟斜井泥浆侵入特性,进而研究泥浆侵入过程的阵列侧向测井响应.数值仿真表明,采用广义曲线坐标系消除了笛卡儿坐标系统在斜井边界处网格划分的锯齿现象;储层非均质造成泥浆侵入不均匀,储层渗透性越好,泥浆滤液侵入越深;泥浆滤液侵入使得井周地层饱和度、孔隙水矿化度的分布发生变化,进而造成斜井井周岩石电阻率分布剖面复杂变化;泥浆侵入过程中阵列侧向视电阻率变化以及深浅视电阻率的幅度差异,有效反映了斜井泥浆侵入特性;文中采用了基于Marquardt方法的阵列侧向测井四参数反演,有效恢复了斜井储层侵入剖面,得到了原状地层电阻率.斜井泥浆侵入特征及其阵列侧向测井响应模拟分析,有助于正确认识斜井井周岩石物理特征和利用阵列侧向测井进行斜井储层评价.     

盐水泥浆条件下定向井双侧向测井环境校正方法研究

在定向井中,双侧向测井数据由于受井眼、围岩、井斜、径向侵入等环境因素的影响,难以准确地估算储层的电阻率和更准确地识别储层流体.本文拟提出图版法和反演法相结合的思路来研究地层视电阻率的校正问题.首先,针对研究区的测井环境和钻井液电阻率,计算了不同尺寸井眼的双侧向测井响应,绘制了井眼校正图版;然后,针对斜度井地层模型,采用三维有限元方法计算了不同井斜、不同厚度地层的测井响应,构建了井斜-围岩/层厚图版,利用该图版实现了井眼校正和井斜-围岩/层厚的电阻率快速校正.最后,针对钻井液侵入的影响,采用反演方法计算了侵入半径和地层真电阻率,最终实现了双侧向测井的环境校正.利用上述理论与方法对海洋中定向井的双侧向测井资料进行了环境校正,提高了储层流体定性识别和定量评价的精度.     

对三侧向测井视电阻率校正问题的评论

1.根据对图版数据的分析,强调定量解释不能直接引用深三侧向视电阻率; 2.对国产三侧向测井电极系Ⅱ,提出一种厚层侵入经验校正公式,它不同于建筑在传统几何因子近似基础上的校正公式,有助于对三侧向测井视电阻率校正问题作分析; 3.对侧向测井视电阻率只作侵入校正而无有效的层厚、围岩校正是不可取的。     

Experimental study on the performance of an azimuthal acoustic receiver sonde for a downhole tool

A new azimuthal acoustic receiver sonde with a body and corresponding circuits was designed for a downhole tool. The 64‐sensor receiver sonde holds eight receiver stations that can be combined into at least 64 three‐sensor receiver subarrays. As a result, the receiver sonde can use different sensor combinations instead of different transducer types to produce multiple modes, including a phased azimuthal reception mode and conventional monopole, dipole, and quadruple modes. Laboratory measurements were conducted to study the performance of the azimuthal acoustic receiver sonde for a downhole tool, and the experimental results indicate that the receiver sonde provides a consistent reception performance. Individual sensors receive similar time‐domain waveforms, and their corresponding frequency bands and sensitivities are consistent within the measurement errors of around 5%. The direction of the reception main lobe is approximately parallel to its exterior normal direction. In addition, a receiver subarray with three sensors receives waveforms that have higher energy and narrower beamwidths. For individual sensors, the angular width of the dominant reception lobe is 191.3^° on average, whereas that of the individual receiver subarrays is approximately 52.1^° on average. The amplitude of the first arrival received by the receiver subarray centred at the primary sensor directly pointing to the source is approximately 2.2 times the average amplitude of the first arrivals received by the other receiver subarrays in the same receiver station. Thus, the maximum amplitude of the waveforms received by the receiver subarrays can be used to determine the direction of the incident waves. This approach represents a promising method for determining the reflector azimuth for acoustic reflection logging and three‐dimensional acoustic logging.     

裂缝性地层方位侧向测井响应数值模拟

为研究井周裂缝发育特征,本文提出一种新型方位侧向测井方法,利用三维有限元法,模拟裂缝的方位侧向测井响应.结果显示,深浅侧向电阻率幅度差异受裂缝倾角的控制,低角度缝为负差异,高角度缝为正差异;倾斜裂缝张开度的增大使测井响应值减小,方位电阻率差异增大;井周方位电阻率可反映裂缝方位产状,单一缝或裂缝密度较小时,沿裂缝走向的方位电阻率小,沿裂缝倾向的方位电阻率大;裂缝发育地层的测井响应显示宏观各向异性特征,但方位电阻率的差异显示发生反转现象,即沿裂缝走向/层理方向的方位电阻率大,沿裂缝倾向/垂直层理方向的方位电阻率小;对方位电阻率测井响应进行井周成像,直观显示了裂缝的产状和发育特征.     

基于3D-FEM的洞穴型地层双侧向测井数值模拟及响应特征研究

洞穴型碳酸盐岩储层非均质性强、电测井响应复杂、测井识别和表征难度大,利用数值模拟方法明确该类储层的电测井响应特征,可为洞穴识别与评价提供理论依据.本文基于三维有限元素法(3D-FEM),引入边界局部加密技术,实现对复杂球形洞穴的精细刻画与响应精确计算;对比分析井眼钻穿型洞穴和井旁洞穴的双侧向测井响应特征和敏感性,进而考察双侧向测井对两者敏感范围的差异.结果表明:洞穴的存在导致双侧向测井响应明显降低,受洞穴边界及仪器探测深度等影响,井眼钻穿型洞穴双侧向测井曲线复杂,而井旁洞穴曲线呈"抛物线"型;双侧向测井对井眼钻穿型洞穴的敏感性远大于对井旁洞穴的敏感性,深侧向和浅侧向测井最大可对洞穴边界距井壁0.5 m和0.3 m的井旁洞穴敏感.     

方位梯度电极系的正反演

针对环井周的非均质地层模型,利用三维有限元方法模拟了方位梯度电极系的测井响应．结果表明,在非均质程度比较小的情况下,各个方位上的响应之间差别不大,与真实的电阻率分布差别也不大;反之,则差别很大．其特点是所测得的响应远远低于较高的真电阻率值,而接近较低的真电阻率值．因此,有必要对测井响应进行校正．考虑到传统的校正方法的弊端,本文利用非线性反演方法求取真实的电阻率分布,数值模拟的结果表明了此方法的可行性．     

MORE ON THE LATEROLOG* DEVICE**

Basic Laterolog devices employ a measure-current focusing technique to provide well logs of formation resistivity that feature sharp vertical definition combined with a depth of investigation much improved over those of normals of comparable spacings. To develop the concept of measure-current focusing, a disk-electrode arrangement analogous to a guard-ring capacitor is considered first, leading finally to consideration of a real sonde in a cylindrical borehole. In the latter, auxiliary currents are adjusted to maintain substantially at zero the vertical potential gradients above and below the central measure-current electrode; this has the effect of focusing the measure-current beam. However, prediction of sonde responses on the basis of current patterns can in some cases be misleading. Indeed, for a given Laterolog array, one may use a (reciprocalmode) current pattern radically different from the one defined by the basic (direct-mode) measure-current focusing scheme and still obtain the same resistivity measurement. This feature is illustrated for Laterolog 3 by use of transfer impedances, and demonstrated for certain more general cases using the reciprocity theorem. Comparisons of Laterolog responses across typical thin beds, both non-invaded and invaded, with those of normal devices of a comparable range of spacings illustrate the improved vertical resolution obtained with Laterolog devices. The examples also show the different magnitudes of the auxiliary currents (thenceforth designated “bucking”- or “focusing” currents) used in the direct and reciprocal modes and illustrate how these currents must continuously vary in order to maintain the focused condition as the sonde moves through the bed. Finally, briefly considering possible applications of Laterolog-type arrays in surface prospecting, it is shown that a one-dimensional array laid out on the surface does not provide the same degree of measure-current focusing as is obtained in a borehole. Some improvement is obtained with a combination of two crossed linear arrays. Much more is obtained using a circular array.

研究了泥浆滤液侵入孔隙地层的模拟实验理论和相似条件，并用砂盘模型对泥浆滤液侵入油、气、水层进行了模拟实验，得到了侵入地层径向剖面的高侵、低侵、低阻环带和非台阶型的电性特征。     

利用阵列感应测井进行储层渗透率评价

钻井过程中储层受到泥浆侵入影响的程度与储层岩性有着密切关系,其中储层渗透率对侵入深度有着较大影响,因此若可以获知泥浆侵入深度,则有望对储层渗透率进行评估.本文首先建立含泥饼增长的泥浆侵入数值模型,然后建立阵列感应测井数值模型,两者的联合正演模拟显示泥浆侵入对地层的影响可以反映在阵列感应测井响应上,利用阻尼最小二乘法对阵列感应测井响应进行反演可以得到侵入深度.对侵入深度和储层渗透率的关系进行分析发现:在渗透率为1～100mD(1mD=0.987×10~(-3)μm～2)数量级的储层中,渗透率的变化可以在侵入深度上得到反映.以储层和井数据进行二维数值模拟发现:利用阵列感应测井响应反演出来的侵入深度曲线反映了渗透率在地层上的变化趋势,采用解释图版的方法可以对储层各层段的渗透率进行粗略估算.     

一种基于圆弧片状压电振子的相控圆弧阵随钻声波测井辐射器

随钻三维反射声波成像测井技术可以实时地对井周围的地层构造和地质体进行成像,为地质导向钻井提供必要的信息,是下一代声波测井技术的发展方向.针对该项技术,提出了一种基于圆弧片状压电振子的相控圆弧阵声波测井辐射器,推导了该辐射器的声学性能在波数-频率域的数学描述,并采用了实轴积分的方法对该辐射器在无限大液体、井旁地层中产生的波场进行了求解.研究结果显示,无论在无限大液体中还是在充液井孔内,该声源均可以向任意方位定向辐射能量,其水平指向性图主瓣明显,旁瓣级低,具有较高的方位分辨率;相控阵技术能够使得即使在较低的频率下,该声源辐射的声场仍具有较好的方位特征;与传统的单极子反射成像技术相比,有希望利用该声源发展一种具有较好的方位分辨能力和更深径向探测深度的随钻反射成像测井方法;与偶极子反射成像技术相比,采用该声源可以在周向上360°范围内确定反射体的方位,能够消除井旁地层界面方位测量的多解性.     

基于面波频散的三维横波速度方位各向异性层析成像方法

地震各向异性是反映地球内部介质特性的重要指针之一。常用的横波分裂法和二维面波方位各向异性层析成像方法很难准确反映各向异性随深度的变化。将与周期相关的区域化面波方位各向异性转换成与深度相关的一维横波速度方位各向异性可以弥补深度信息不足的缺陷。现有三维横波速度各向异性研究多是通过两步方法来实现的,即逐个周期二维面波方位各向异性层析成像以及逐个格点一维横波速度方位各向异性反演。这种分步反演的方式既不利于三维先验约束的引入,也不利于利用原始观测拟合误差对三维模型进行直接评估。因此本文开发了基于面波频散曲线的三维横波速度方位各向异性层析成像方法,并编制了相关正演和反演程序。为了检测方法和程序的有效性,我们对规律分布的三维检测板模型进行了模拟测试。测试结果显示:该方法可以很好地恢复各向同性波速异常、各向异性相对强度和快波方向等三维结构信息;而且反演模型相对于参考模型明显改善了对观测数据的拟合,降低了对观测数据的均方根误差。但对各向同性理论模型进行各向异性反演时,在波速均匀区可产生小于0.5%的假各向异性幅值,在波速非均匀区该假的各向异性幅值会更大,浅部可达3.5%。因此在实际应用中需要谨慎解释（浅部）非均匀区的各向异性结果。      

基于周向磁场有限元方法的双侧向测井影响因素分析

电流线分布是评价双侧向测井仪器探测性能的一种辅助手段.通常采用基于电位的有限元数值模拟方法,通过对电位的微分获得电流线的分布,这种处理方法引入了额外误差.为解决此问题,本文提出了一种基于周向磁场强度的有限元方法,通过对视电阻率和电流线的数值模拟验证了新方法的正确性,且新方法在计算电流线方面优于电位法.在此基础上,针对泥浆低侵和高侵两种情况,模拟了深浅侧向测井的视电阻率响应和电流线的分布,分析了侵入带对双侧向测井响应的影响规律.     

Upper mantle low anisotropy channels below the Pacific Plate

A new 3D anisotropic model has been obtained at a global scale by using a massive dataset of seismic surface waves. Though seismic heterogeneities are usually interpreted in terms of heterogeneous temperature field, a large part of lateral variations are also induced by seismic anisotropy of upper mantle minerals. New insight into convection processes can be gained by taking seismic anisotropy into account in the inversion procedure. The model is best resolved in the Pacific Plate, the largest and the most active tectonic plate. Superimposed on the large-scale radial (ξ parameter) and azimuthal anisotropy (of V_SV velocity) within and below the lithosphere, correlated with present or past Pacific Plate motions, are smaller-scale (<1000 km) lateral variations of anisotropy not predicted by plate tectonics. Channels of low anisotropy down to a depth of 200 km (hereafter referred to as LAC) are observed and are the best resolved anomalies: one east-west channel between Easter Island and the Tonga-Kermadec subduction zones (observed on both radial and azimuthal anisotropies) and a second one (only observed on azimuthal anisotropy) extending from the south-west Pacific up to south-east Hawaii, and passing through the Polynesia hotspot group for plate older than about 40 Ma. These features provide strong constraints on the decoupling between the plate and asthenosphere. They are presumably related to cracking within the Pacific Plate and/or to secondary convection below the rigid lithosphere, predicted by numerical and analog experiments. The existence and location of these LACs might be related to the current active volcanoes and hotspots (possibly plumes) in the Central Pacific. LACs, which are dividing the Pacific Plate into smaller units, might indicate a future reorganization of plates with ridge migrations in the Pacific Ocean.     

Application of 2D magnetotelluric methods in a geological complex area, Xinjiang, China

Magnetotelluric (MT) data along two profiles were collected in Tulargen Cu-Ni mining area, Xinjiang, China. The MT profiles, crossing the known ore-bearing magmatic body, are interpreted to have further understanding of the ore-bearing magmatic bodies' stretch and shape in depth, and to evaluate the prospect in the mining area. The values of phase sensitivity skewness indicate a contaminated two-dimensional (2D) structure (there exist local three-dimensional (3D) structures at shallow level) over 3D structures. G-B decomposition of the impedance tensors indicates the dominant geoelectrical strike in survey area is in East-West direction. To obtain reliable electrical structures, four different 2D inversion codes as REBOCC, NLCG, OCCAM, and ABIC are adopted, inversions of a synthetic 3D model using these codes indicate TM data are more suitable to invert the electrical structures along the profiles in Tulargen Cu-Ni mining area, while TE and TE + TM inversions can be used to verify the transverse variation of electrical structures at shallow level. The 2D electrical structures show high-resistivity basement covered by relatively low-resistivity strata in the mining area, the conductive anomalies are imbedded in the upper covers. The known ore-bearing magmatic body is coincided with the positions of two conductive anomalies in both profiles at shallow level; its extension at depth is deduced according to the shapes of the anomalies. Other conductive anomalies, isolated and existing only at limited depth as the known ore-bearing magmatic body, are presumed of good prospect.

An audio-magnetotelluric investigation in Terceira Island (Azores)

Ten audio-magnetotelluric soundings have been carried out along a profile crossing the Serra do Cume caldera in the eastern part of the Terceira Island (Azores). The main objectives of this investigation were to detect geoelectrical features related with tectonic structures and to characterize regional hydrological and hydrothermal aspects mainly those related to geothermal fluid dynamics.Three-dimensional numerical investigation showed that the data acquired at periods shorter than 1 s are not significantly affected by ocean effect. The data was analysed using the Smith's decomposition method in order to investigate possible distortions caused by superficial structures and to estimate a global regional strike. The results suggest that in general the soundings were not distorted. A regional N55°W strike was chosen for the two-dimensional data inversion.The low-resistivity zones (10–30 ohm-m) displayed in the central part of the 2-D geoelectrical model have been interpreted as caused by hydrothermal circulation. The low-resistivity anomalies at the ends of the profile might be attributed to alteration zones with interaction of seawater intrusion. High-resistivity (> 300 ohm-m) values have been related with less permeable zones in the SW of Cinco Picos and Guilherme Moniz caldera walls.     

电阻率测井响应的积分方程解法

从电流守恒条件出发,得到了两个积分方程.其中第一个和在1964年提出的相同,它的未知函数是边界面上的隐电流源分布密度;第二个积分方程的未知函数则是电位函数本身. 在的文章以及本文作者的另一篇文章中,供电电极和测量电极都被当成点电极处理.用这种方法来处理电位电极系和梯度电极系已不够准确,用来处理三侧向或双侧向等具有大电极的电极系则完全无能为力. 测井中所用的电极系是包着金属外皮的绝缘心棒,金属外皮就是电极.本文提出了处理这种电极系的方法.结果表明,第二个积分方程在处理这种电极系时有明显优点.
