过金属套管地层电阻率瞬变电磁新技术

      A new technique for transient electromagnetism of resistivity in over-metal casing strata

      • 摘要: 在油气田开发中后期,提高电阻率测量的准确度对评估储层剩余油饱和度意义重大。传统过套管电阻率测井技术存在时效低、受套管接触电阻影响大、环境适应性差、探测深度有限等缺点。而瞬变电磁基于电磁感应理论,在不接触套管的情况下发射瞬变电磁场并测量地层感应电磁场的变化来获取地层电阻率参数。然而,套管的高电导率和高磁导率会严重干扰电磁信号,影响地层电阻率测量。为此,本文提出采用多线圈系组合在地层响应的前期压制套管信号的新技术,采用有限元仿真,深入探究不同地层电阻率、套管参数变化下的瞬变电磁响应曲线以及瞬变电磁径向探测深度和纵向分辨率。结果表明,该技术在瞬变电磁响应前期可有效压制套管响应,使地层响应更加清晰,为套管井地层电阻率测量提供精准、可靠的手段,进一步提升石油勘探开发中剩余油评价的准确性。

         

        Abstract: In the middle and late stages of oil and gas field development, resistivity measurements are of great significance in assessing residual oil saturation in reservoirs. Traditional through-casing resistivity logging technology has drawbacks such as low efficiency, significant susceptibility to casing contact resistance, poor environmental adaptability, and limited detection depth. In contrast, transient electromagnetics, based on the theory of electromagnetic induction, emits transient electromagnetic fields without contacting the casing and measures changes in the induced electromagnetic fields of the formation to obtain formation resistivity parameters. However, the high electrical conductivity and high magnetic permeability of the casing can severely interfere with electromagnetic signals, affecting the measurement of formation resistivity. For this reason, this paper proposes a new method of using a combination of multiple coil systems to suppress the signal of casing in the pre-stress casing of formation response, and adopts finite element simulation to deeply explore the transient electromagnetic response curves as well as the transient electromagnetic radial probing depth and longitudinal resolution under the changes of different formation resistivity and casing parameters. The results show that this technique can effectively suppress the casing response in the pre-transient electromagnetic response, make the formation response clearer, provide accurate and reliable means for the measurement of formation resistivity in cased wells, and further enhance the accuracy of residual oil evaluation in oil exploration and development.
