Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of oil and gas well engineering, in particular to a method for constructing a borehole trajectory error elliptic cylinder in the oil and gas well engineering.
Background
The basic goal of wellbore trajectory monitoring and control is to determine the spatial location of any point on the wellbore trajectory, i.e., the wellbore trajectory location. However, due to measurement, calculation, etc. errors, the borehole trajectory positioning may not be absolutely accurate. Although the positioning accuracy of the borehole trajectory can be improved by means of error correction and the like, the errors cannot be completely eliminated, so that the borehole trajectory still has an uncertainty problem.
An error ellipsoid of each measuring point can be obtained based on the borehole trajectory error model, and the ellipsoid is used for representing uncertainty of the spatial position of the borehole trajectory. During the drilling process, error ellipsoids are required to be connected in series along the borehole trajectory to form an error elliptic cylinder for describing the on-way error condition of the borehole trajectory. At present, only error ellipsoids and evaluation methods of horizontal section error ellipses thereof (Liu Gonghui, dong Benjing and Gao Deli. Error ellipsoids (circles) and well collision probability analysis [ J ]. Drilling and production process, 2000,23 (3): 5-12.) exist, and no construction method of well track error elliptic columns exists.
Therefore, it is necessary to establish a corresponding characterization and evaluation method to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art.

The general idea is as follows: identifying various error sources, and establishing a covariance matrix of the well track according to error propagation and accumulation principles; selecting an amplification factor according to the error probability, and determining the size and the posture of an error ellipsoid; and establishing an error ellipsoid and an error elliptic cylinder cross section elliptic equation to construct an error elliptic cylinder.
Referring to FIG. 1, a flow diagram of a method for constructing a borehole trajectory error ellipsoid is shown in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
In step S1 shown in FIG. 1, a covariance matrix of the borehole trajectory first needs to be established. Specifically, according to the error source identification, characterization, propagation and accumulation rules, a covariance matrix of the borehole trajectory is established in a wellhead coordinate system NEH to describe the uncertainty of the borehole trajectory.
In the process of establishing the covariance matrix, acquiring inclination measurement data of a well track by using a measuring instrument according to industrial regulations, and solving a covariance matrix at each measurement point under a wellhead coordinate system NEH based on an ISCSSA standard and a model, wherein the covariance matrix represents an error ellipsoid group, and the probabilities that different error ellipsoids in the error ellipsoid group contain well track errors are different.
The method specifically comprises the following substeps:

wherein: k is an amplification factor and has no dimension; p is the error probability, decimal, of the borehole trajectory.
According to the specific requirement of the error probability of the well track, an error ellipsoid can be uniquely determined by selecting the amplification factor k. Generally, the amplification factor has a value ranging from k =1 to 3, and the borehole trajectory error is usually evaluated with k = 2. For wells with high requirements on borehole trajectory monitoring and control accuracy, a large coefficient k = 2.8 is preferably taken and placed, and the probability that the borehole trajectory is located in an error ellipsoid at the moment is more than 95%.
When the amplification factor k =1.0 to 4.0 and the step size is 0.5, the probabilities P are 19.87%, 47.78%, 73.85%, 89.99%, 97.07%, 99.34%, and 99.89%, respectively.
Next, in sub-step S22, an error ellipsoid size is calculated.

And taking the main axis of the ellipsoid close to the high side direction of the ellipsoid as a U axis, taking the main axis of the ellipsoid close to the plumb direction as a W axis, and determining a V axis according to a right-hand rule so that the U axis, the V axis and the W axis form a right-hand coordinate system. As shown in fig. 2.
The three principal axis radii of the error ellipsoid are used to characterize the error ellipsoid dimensions. Firstly, the covariance matrix [ C ] is obtained by the methods of Jacobian method and linear transformation] NEH Characteristic value (λ) of UVW ) Then, the radius of the principal axis of the error ellipsoid is calculated as follows:
Figure BDA0001750705650000081
in the formula: r is the radius of the main shaft of the error ellipsoid, m; λ is the eigenvalue of the covariance matrix, m2.
In sub-step S23 the error ellipsoid pose is calculated.
Three attitude angles of the main axis of the error ellipsoid are used for representing the attitude of the error ellipsoid.
First, a characteristic value (λ) is obtained 123 ) The corresponding feature vector (p 1, p2, p 3). Under the wellhead coordinate system O-NEH, these feature vectors can be represented as
Figure BDA0001750705650000082
Then, the attitude angle of the error ellipsoid is calculated as follows

Wherein
Figure BDA0001750705650000091
Then, under the principal axis coordinate system UVW of the error ellipsoid, the error ellipsoid equation is
Figure BDA0001750705650000092
