Nondestructive ground stress testing device and method using digital speckle and finite element technology
Technical Field
The invention relates to a testing device and a testing method for formation ground stress in the field of oil and gas drilling and production, in particular to a nondestructive ground stress testing device and a nondestructive ground stress testing method using digital speckle and finite element technologies, which can simultaneously obtain the magnitude and the direction of the ground stress.
Background
At present, in oil and gas field development, hydraulic fracturing measures, deployment and injection-production well patterns optimization, horizontal well azimuth and hydraulic fracturing all need to consider the direction, the size and the distribution rule of the stress of the current earth. However, in the existing methods for testing the rock ground stress direction in the laboratory, for example, a rock acoustic emission method combined with paleogeomagnetism orientation, a differential strain method combined with paleogeomagnetism orientation, an acoustic velocity anisotropy method combined with paleogeomagnetism orientation and the like, cutting processing needs to be performed on a core during the testing process, the core is damaged, subsequent tests can be influenced after the core is damaged, meanwhile, the testing data is difficult to repeat, particularly, the existing ground stress magnitude and direction testing methods usually need to be coupled with a plurality of tests to be jointly completed, and the selected core is difficult to guarantee parallel tests, so that the testing result uncertainty is high, and the error is sometimes large; secondly, the traditional sound wave method requires that the rock has no obvious cracks, and the uniform texture brings great limitation to the selection of the rock.
The research on the ground stress is widely paid attention by oil and gas exploration and development personnel, and the ground stress belongs to the internal force of the rock in the natural state and reflects the stress state of the rock underground. At present, ground stress measurement work is carried out in a plurality of countries, more than ten types of measurement methods exist, and nearly hundreds of measurement instruments exist. The various measurement methods that occur in succession are broadly classified into two main categories: direct measurements and indirect measurements. The direct method comprises the following steps: flat jack method, rigid inclusion stressometer method, hydraulic fracturing method, acoustic emission method; indirect measurements include: a trepanning stress relieving method, a local stress relieving method, a strain relaxation measuring method and a geophysical detection method. At present, two stress measurement methods are mainly adopted at home and abroad: stress (strain) relief methods and hydraulic fracturing methods. The resolution method is divided into three types: strain gauges, strain gauges and stress gauges, among which strain gauges and strain gauges are widely used. The existing strain gauge method for measuring three-dimensional stress by single drilling hole has the defects of low precision and reliability and troublesome operation.
With the rapid development of the petroleum industry, more and more unconventional oil and gas resources such as shale gas, shale oil, glutenite and the like are found everywhere in China, and because the geological characteristics of reservoirs are complex, the traditional differential strain or Kaiser acoustic emission ground stress experimental test method cannot meet the requirement of test precision, so that the research and development of novel ground stress test equipment and method are necessary. The two ground stress experimental test methods cannot meet the test requirements.

The invention relates to a using method of a nondestructive ground stress testing device by using digital speckle and finite element technology, which comprises the following steps:

Preferably, finite element geometric modeling is carried out according to specific core size, after a rock strain field is obtained, strain field variable data are led into a finite element model, in actual leading, relevant unit data can also be interpolated according to an interpolation method to obtain unit integral points, initial mechanical parameters and the like are brought in according to actual rock mechanical parameters of the core, then a stress condition is loaded to solve a numerical simulation displacement field and a numerical simulation strain field, a least square objective function is constructed simultaneously, repeated comparison and correction are carried out on the actually measured displacement field and the actually measured strain field and the displacement field and the strain field obtained by digital speckles, and a particle swarm algorithm is used for optimization processing to obtain a minimum differential stress comparison result; at the moment, the calculation result of the magnitude and the direction of the crustal stress of the rock can be completely obtained; if the ground stress actual measurement data exists on site, such as a small pressure test, a well wall collapse analysis result, microseism monitoring and imaging logging, the obtained ground stress numerical simulation result can be corrected and quality controlled.
In addition, the processed full diameter core means: and (4) finishing the end face of the full-diameter rock core to be flat and smooth by using a diamond lathe tool, and spraying speckles on the end face of the rock.
And then putting the full-diameter rock core into a lateral holder to laterally load equal pressure on the rock, simultaneously carrying out high-speed photographing on the end face of the rock by using a high-speed camera, and analyzing the photograph by using digital speckle software after the experiment is finished. And (4) releasing the main stress after drilling the core due to different stresses of the rock in the stratum. The stress is different, the strain released by the rock is different, the greater the stress is, the greater the strain released is, and vice versa.

In addition, in a computer in which images measured by the digital speckle correlation method exist in a matrix form, and then motion information of a measured object point is estimated from an image matrix, an assumption is needed when: the same point keeps the same gray level during the movement, i.e. the "gray level invariant assumption", the specific calculation expression can be expressed as:
in the formula:ffor the purpose of a reference picture,gis the target image.w(x;a)=x+d(x;a)Is a coordinate function.u,vAre respectively asx,yDisplacement in direction. To solveuAndvfirstly, the point to be measured is used in the reference image (x 0 ,y 0 ) Selecting a certain area as a reference image subregion for the center, and then finding the target image with the maximum correlation with the reference image subregion by a certain search method (x’, y’) Point target image sub-regions, refer specifically to fig. 8;

During the deformation of the object, the displacement is not generally a whole pixel, so (1)x’,y’) The grey value of the point must be obtained by sub-pixel interpolation. When all points in the sub-area of the reference image correspond to (x’,y’) After the gray values of the points are all obtained, the correlation function value is calculated according to the normalized covariance correlation functionAnd comparing, and if a preset threshold value is reached, considering the deformation parameter as the required value. If not, the deformation parameters are re-assigned for calculation until the requirements are met. Similarity function for representing similarity degree of reference image and target image subareaC. The digital speckle takes the correlation function as a judgment basis, searches in the reference image and the target image and finds a sub-area with the correlation function as an extreme value. The cross correlation coefficient is adopted to measure the similarity of the reference area, and the definition formula is as follows:
(x, y) and (x ', y') respectively represent an arbitrary point before the deformation of the sub-region and the coordinates of the point after the deformation corresponding thereto.

When the similarity function C value =0, it is indicated that the two sub-regions are completely uncorrelated.

When the calculation accuracy does not meet the standard, the initial parameters need to be further adjusted, and trial calculation is performed again until the calculation result of the whole model is completely converged.
