Technical Field

Detailed Description
The following detailed description will be provided for the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, so that the practitioner of the present invention can fully understand how to apply the technical means to solve the technical problems, achieve the technical effects, and implement the present invention according to the implementation procedures. It should be noted that, as long as there is no conflict, the embodiments and the features of the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other, and the technical solutions formed are within the scope of the present invention.
Measurement while drilling is an indispensable technical means in construction of directional wells and horizontal wells. Due to the restriction of drilling depth, stratum environment and other conditions, measurement-while-drilling data cannot be transmitted to the ground from a measurement-while-drilling instrument in a wired transmission mode in many drilling construction scenes.
Currently, an electromagnetic measurement while drilling (EM-MWD) system is commonly used, which includes a communication device while drilling that transmits information using low frequency electromagnetic waves, which can be normally used in drilling projects using liquid and gas phase drilling fluids. However, the information transmission of the EM-MWD system is essentially a special wireless communication system, and the particularity is that electromagnetic waves propagate in a lossy medium, the transmission depth is influenced by a formation medium, and the transmission depth is not as high as that of the conventional MWD.
Particularly, in the actual drilling process, when the communication device while drilling moves along with the drill bit at different positions in the stratum, particularly when interlayers exist among the different positions, the properties of stratum media through which electromagnetic waves for data transmission pass can be obviously changed. This makes the electromagnetic wave signal that is finally transmitted to the surface unstable, and there is a possibility of transmission failure. This greatly affects the formation adaptability of the electromagnetic communication while drilling device and the range of use of the instrument.
Aiming at the problems, the invention provides a downhole communication while drilling method. According to the method, the transmission mode of the electromagnetic waves is adjusted in real time according to the stratum medium condition experienced in the process of transmitting the electromagnetic waves to the ground from the communication while drilling device, so that the electromagnetic wave signals can be stably received by a ground system, and the condition of data transmission failure is avoided. Specifically, the transmission mode of the electromagnetic wave includes a signal transmission frequency and/or a signal output power.
Specifically, in the actual drilling process, when the drill bit is directly switched at different stratum levels, particularly when an interlayer exists between the levels, a more direct expression is that the stratum resistivity at the drill bit jumps along with the interlayer. The formation resistivity is an important factor influencing the transmission state of electromagnetic waves in the formation. Therefore, in the method of the present invention, the emission pattern of the electromagnetic wave is adjusted according to the formation resistivity, that is, the emission pattern of the electromagnetic wave for data transmission is linked with the formation resistivity of the electromagnetic wave emission position. When the position of the communication while drilling device changes, the formation resistivity at the communication while drilling device changes, the signal emission frequency and/or the signal output power of the electromagnetic waves are changed accordingly, and therefore the electromagnetic waves can be stably transmitted to the earth surface all the time.
According to the method, the communication mode can be automatically adjusted, and the communication mode is matched with the current geological environment, so that the transmission stability of the electromagnetic wave signals is improved, and the transmission depth of the electromagnetic wave signals is improved. Furthermore, the method can be independently implemented in the underground environment, so that the condition that most underground operation environments only can maintain data one-way transmission is met.
The detailed flow of a method according to an embodiment of the invention is described in detail below based on the accompanying drawings, the steps shown in the flow chart of which can be executed in a computer system containing instructions such as a set of computer executable instructions. Although a logical order of steps is illustrated in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps illustrated or described may be performed in an order different than presented herein.
As shown in FIG. 1, in one embodiment, the method of the present invention comprises the steps of:
monitoring formation resistivity changes at the downhole communication location (S100);
judging whether the formation resistivity changes (S110), if not, continuing to execute the step S100;
when the formation resistivity at the communication position changes, judging whether the communication mode (signal transmitting frequency and/or signal output power) needs to be adjusted or not (S120), and if not, continuing to perform the underground while-drilling communication in the current communication mode (S130);
Determining a new communication mode according to the formation resistivity of the communication position when the communication mode needs to be adjusted (S140);
and performing downhole communication while drilling based on the new communication mode (S150).
Specifically, in one embodiment, the communication mode is linked in real time with the formation resistivity at the communication location. That is, unless there is a higher-level operation, the determination of step S120 is always yes. And when the formation resistivity changes, determining a new communication mode according to the changed formation resistivity.
Further, it is contemplated that the change in formation resistivity may not be stable and may jump back to the original state after an abrupt change. Therefore, in one embodiment, the determination of whether the communication mode needs to be adjusted is not immediately made after the formation resistivity changes, but the change of the formation resistivity is monitored for a specific time period, and the determination of whether the communication mode needs to be adjusted is made after the change of the formation resistivity is confirmed to be stable.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, after the formation resistivity at the communication position changes, the change in the formation resistivity at the communication position is monitored, and whether the change in the formation resistivity is stable or not is determined (S221).
When the formation resistivity at the communication location changes and is unstable, the change in the formation resistivity at the communication location continues to be monitored. Specifically, in one embodiment, it is not determined whether the communication mode needs to be adjusted, i.e., the data is still transmitted in the original communication mode.
When the change of the formation resistivity at the communication position is stable, it is judged whether the communication mode needs to be adjusted (S222).
Further, considering that frequent changes of the transmission mode may cause a large pressure on the transmission and reception devices of the communication system, in an embodiment, the transmission mode of the electromagnetic wave is not changed immediately when the formation resistivity changes, but the transmission mode is changed when the change range of the formation resistivity exceeds a preset interval. Specifically, when judging whether the communication mode needs to be adjusted, whether the change amplitude of the formation resistivity exceeds a preset interval is judged.
Specifically, in one embodiment, a plurality of ideal communication modes are determined according to the transmission of electromagnetic waves in the formation media with different formation resistivities. Each ideal communication mode corresponds to a formation resistivity interval. That is, the electromagnetic waves emitted in the ideal communication mode can be smoothly transmitted in the formation medium of the formation resistivity interval corresponding to the electromagnetic waves. Conversely, when the electromagnetic waves not transmitted in the ideal communication mode pass through the formation medium corresponding to the formation resistivity interval, a transmission failure is likely to occur. Therefore, whether the current electromagnetic wave emission mode needs to be changed can be judged only by judging whether the current electromagnetic wave emission mode is the ideal communication mode corresponding to the current formation resistivity.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, in an embodiment, the step of determining whether the communication mode needs to be adjusted includes:
acquiring an ideal communication mode corresponding to the formation resistivity of the communication position (S300);
judging whether the ideal communication mode determined in the previous step is consistent with the current communication mode (S310);
if not, judging that the communication mode needs to be adjusted (S320);
if they match, it is determined that the communication mode does not need to be adjusted (S330).
Specifically, in one embodiment:
when the stratum resistivity is 0-3 ohm-meter, the signal transmitting frequency of the corresponding ideal communication mode is 2 HZ;
when the resistivity of the stratum is 3-10 ohm meter (excluding 3 ohm meter), the signal transmission frequency of the corresponding ideal communication mode is 5 HZ;
when the stratum resistivity is 10-500 ohm meter (excluding 10 ohm meter), the signal transmission frequency of the corresponding ideal communication mode is 10 HZ;
when the resistivity of the stratum is 500 ohm meter to 5000 ohm meter (excluding 500 ohm meter), the signal transmitting frequency of the corresponding ideal communication mode is 5 HZ;
when the formation resistivity is 5000 ohm · m or more, the signal transmission frequency of the corresponding ideal communication mode is 2 HZ.
Furthermore, the electromagnetic waves emitted in the ideal communication mode can be smoothly transmitted in the formation medium of the formation resistivity interval corresponding to the electromagnetic waves. Therefore, in one embodiment, when the communication mode needs to be adjusted, the ideal communication mode corresponding to the current formation resistivity is directly used as the new communication mode.
Further, when the data sending side changes the communication mode, the data receiving side also needs to perform corresponding receiving mode conversion. Thus, in one embodiment, a communication mode change notification is sent to the surface based on the original communication mode prior to conducting downhole communication while drilling based on the new communication mode. Further, to prevent a failure in sending or receiving the communication mode change notification, in one embodiment, the communication mode change notification is sent to the surface multiple times based on the original communication mode before the downhole communication while drilling is performed based on the new communication mode. Specifically, in one embodiment, a communication mode change notification is sent to the surface 3 times based on the original communication mode before downhole communication while drilling is performed based on the new communication mode.
Further, in some application scenarios, it is desirable to continuously transmit measurement-while-drilling data. However, in the process of performing the communication mode adjustment determination and adjusting the communication mode, it is not possible to determine whether or not data transmission is possible smoothly. Therefore, in order to avoid data loss, in one embodiment, the sending of the downhole measurement while drilling data is suspended when the formation resistivity at the communication position changes, so that data loss caused by the fact that the surface cannot receive the data correctly after the data are sent is avoided. Meanwhile, the underground measurement while drilling data needing to be sent is cached from the moment when the sending of the underground measurement while drilling data is suspended, and the cached underground measurement while drilling data is sent after the communication mode of the underground communication while drilling is determined, so that the ground can receive the complete underground measurement while drilling data.
