Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described as follows with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, those described herein are just parts of the embodiments of the present invention rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, any other embodiment obtained by a person skilled in the art without paying any creative effort shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The embodiments of the present invention provide a stratigraphic correlation method based on uncertainty. As illustrated in Fig. 1, the stratigraphic correlation method comprises: SI01: determining a plurality of possible correlation positions in a well with uncertain layered position in a profile, in a stratigraphic correlation process; SI02: assigning a qualitative or quantitative certainty value to the plurality of correlation positions.
In the stratigraphic correlation process, when the layered position of a well is uncertain, several possible correlation positions may be set in the well, and a qualitative (high, medium and low) or quantitative (10%, 50% and 80%) certainty value may be assigned to each position. SI03: storing and displaying the plurality of correlation positions and certainty values thereof as different layered solutions on the profile, respectively.
As can be seen from the flow of Fig. 1, in the stratigraphic correlation process, the present invention firstly determines a plurality of possible correlation positions in a well with uncertain layered position in a profile, in a stratigraphic correlation process, then assigns a qualitative or quantitative certainty value to the plurality of correlation positions, and finally stores and displays the plurality of correlation positions and certainty values thereof as different layered solutions on the profile, respectively.
After the flow of Fig. 1, in the stratigraphic correlation process, other profile usually shall be analyzed, and when other profile (also referred to as the current profile) passes through the well with uncertain position in Fig. 1, the correlation position and the certainty value of the well shall be displayed in the current profile, respectively. A correlation result of the layered correlation is generated in the current profile, and the present invention can modify the certainty value of the layered solution according to the correlation result of the current profile, or add a new layered solution according to the correlation result of the current profile and determine a certainty value thereof.
After analyses of a plurality of profiles, the stratigraphic correlations of all the wells can be completed. Next, a certainty contour· map can be obtained by interpolation according to the certainty value of each layered solution at the well points. After the stratigraphic correlations of all the wells are completed, the most possible certainty contour map for each layer can be obtained by interpolation according to a layered solution corresponding to a maximum certainty value of the layer.
After the certainty contour map is obtained by interpolation, the position of a well with poor certainty (less than a predetermined value that is set upon actual conditions) can be found according to the contour map, and making a new cross section profile through the well, so as to further determine the layered position and update corresponding certainty. The detailed processing method is shown in the flow of Fig. 1.
Regarding a layer having multiple layered solutions with slightly-different certainties and still difficult to be determined in subsequent closing and quality control works, it may be analyzed separately in another possible layered solution.
In one embodiment, after all the wells are closed (the same well is adaptive to be layered in any profile), an average certainty value of all the wells in each layered solution or an average maximum certainty value of all the wells in each layer can be counted.
In addition, if the certainty of a solution cannot be judged for a layer, a plurality of cross section profiles can be made through the well, and the most possible layered position is marked on each profile, finally, the certainty of each layered position is automatically assigned by counting occurrence frequency of the layer at each position.
Next, the stratigraphic correlation method based on uncertainty in the embodiment of the present invention will be exemplarily described in details with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a cross section profile passing through a north-south direction of well 2. As illustrated in Fig. 2, the profile orderly passes through the well logging curve charts 1 to 3 of wells 1 to 3 from north to south. Assuming that the segment of curve can be divided into three layers, i.e., 4 layer A, 5 layer B and 6 layer C, according to the given stratigraphic framework. From the variation trend of the gamma curve and the resistivity curve in the well logging chart, the position of each layer in wells 1 and 3 and the positions of 4 layer A and 6 layer C in well 2 can be determined. The certainty can be directly assigned with 1 without being considered specially. Due to the curve variation, there are two layered solutions for 5 layer B in well 2, and it is difficult to determine which layered solution is more accurate. Thus certainties 21 and 22 are artificially assigned with 0.5 and 0.5 of the two layered solutions 51 and 52 in well 2.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a cross section profile passing through an east-west direction of well 2 in an embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 3, the profile orderly passes through the well logging curve charts 2, 7 and 8 of wells 2, 5 and 8 from west to east. From the variation trend of the well logging curve near 5 layer B in well 5, it can be deemed that the solution for 52 layer B2 of 5 layer B is more possible. Thus certainties 71 and 72 are artificially assigned with 0.1 and 0.9 of the two layered solutions 51 and 52 in well 5. From the well logging curve trend of well 5, it also can be predicted that solution 52 of 5 layer B is more possible in well 2. Thus certainty 22 is artificially modified into 0.8, and certainty 21 is deceased to be 0.2.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a contour map of certainty in solution 1 of 5 layer B in an embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in Fig. 4, assuming that nine wells are distributed at the positions illustrated in Fig. 4 and they have a certainty of 1 at each layer except those illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, then the distribution rule of the solution of 51 layer B1 can be obtained by interpolation in a minimum curvature method. From the distribution diagram, the uncertainty distribution situation of the solution of 51 layer B1 can be acquired, and the positions of wells 2 and 5 with higher uncertainties can be quickly determined. When the number of wells in the studied region is large, and the layer division is ambiguous, the function of the distribution diagram is especially useful.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a contour map of certainty in solution 2 of 5 layer B in an embodiment of the present invention. The uncertainty distribution situation of the solution of 52 layer B2 is also given by the schematic diagram of the certainty contour map in solution 2 of 5 layer B in Fig. 5. Generally, the uncertainties of layered solutions associated with each other in different wells also tend to be uniform. Thus if merely the most possible solution of 5 layer B is considered, an interpolation may be made to the schematic diagram of a horizontal distribution by taking the maximum value of the certainty of 5 layer B.
Fig. 6 is a histogram of distribution of average certainty of each layer in an embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 6, by calculating the average certainty of each layer in all the wells, the uncertainty of each layer can be intuitively presented, and a most possible layered solution may be screened out from uncertain layered solutions.
The embodiments of the present invention further provide a stratigraphic correlation apparatus based on uncertainty. As illustrated in Fig. 7, the stratigraphic correlation apparatus comprises: a position determination unit 701, an assignment unit 702 and a display unit 703.
In the stratigraphic correlation process, the position determination unit 701 is configured to determine a plurality of possible correlation positions in a well with uncertain layered position in a profile;
The assignment unit 702 is configured to assign a qualitative or quantitative certainty value to the plurality of correlation positions.
The display unit 703 is configured to store and display the plurality of correlation positions and certainty values thereof as different layered solutions on the profile, respectively.
In one embodiment, when other profile passes through the well, the display unit 703 is further configured to display the correlation position and the certainty value of the well in the current profile, respectively.
In one embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 8, the stratigraphic correlation apparatus further comprises: a modification unit 801 and a solution addition unit 802. The modification unit 801 is configured to modify the certainty value of the layered solution according to the correlation result of the current profile; and the solution addition unit 802 is configured to add a new layered solution according to the correlation result of the current profile and determine a certainty value thereof.
In one embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 9, the stratigraphic correlation apparatus further comprises: a first interpolation unit 901. After the stratigraphic correlations of all the wells are completed, the first interpolation unit 901 may obtain a certainty contour map by interpolation according to the certainty value of each layered solution at the well points.
In one embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 10, the stratigraphic correlation apparatus further comprises a second interpolation unit 1001. After the stratigraphic correlations of all the wells are completed, the second interpolation unit 1001 may obtain the most possible certainty contour map for each layer by interpolation according to a layered solution corresponding to a maximum certainty value of the layer.
In one embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 11, the stratigraphic correlation apparatus further comprises a counting unit 1101. After all the wells are closed, the counting unit 1101 counts an average certainty value of all the wells in each layered solution or an average maximum certainty value of all the wells in each layer.
The embodiments of the present invention have the following beneficial effects: (1) By setting a plurality of position solutions for a layer, all possibilities of the layered position judged by the geological personnel can be recorded as references for the subsequent correlation of other profiles, the closing of the whole layered solution, and the quality control.

(4) By recording certainty data in the layering process, a data basis can be provided for the final uncertainty analysis, thus it is possible to quantize the uncertainty in the stratigraphic correlation, which solves the problem that the stratigraphic correlation uncertainty is difficult to be quantized. (5) By implementation of the method of the invention, the workload of closing and quality control at the later stage can be greatly reduced while the workload in the layering process at the earlier stage is slightly increased. In addition, the layering result is more accurate and reliable, and the working efficiency is improved.
