Definitions

  • the invention is generally related to a method using a seminal Multi-point statistics (MPS) algorithm to generate numerical pseudocores from digital rock or core samples and borehole-imaging logs. More particularly, this patent specification relates to creating 3D numerical cores from computed X-ray tomography (CT scans) and formation micro-image (FMI) logs, and performing flow modeling in these numerical cores to understand fluid-flow paths and recovery factors in selected reservoir.
  • MPS seminal Multi-point statistics
  • Electrical and acoustic borehole-imaging tools are widely used to log subsurface boreholes to locate and map the boundaries between rock layers, e.g., bed boundaries, and to visualize and orient fractures and faults. Because electrical logging tools are pad-type devices with fixed arrays of electrodes, it is common to have gaps with missing information between the pads. Electrical and acoustic logs commonly have intervals with poor data quality due to non-functioning electrodes, insufficient pad pressure, borehole irregularities, rock debris, decentralized tools, or poor acoustic reflections.
  • CTscans are the most widely used approach.
  • CTscans are 2-dimensional (2D) cross sections generated by an X-ray source that rotates around the sample. Density is computed from X-ray attenuation coefficients. Scans of serial cross sections are used to construct 3D images of the sample. Because the density contrast is high between rock and fluid-filled pores, CT images can be used to visualize the rock-pore system. Resolutions are on the sub-millimeter to micron scale, depending on the device being used.
  • Multi-point statistics are used to create simulations of spatial geological and reservoir property fields for subsurface reservoir modeling. These methods are conditional simulations that use known results, such as those measured in wellbores, as fixed or "hard” data that are absolutely honored during the simulations.
  • MPS uses ID, 2D, or 3D "training images” as quantitative templates to model subsurface property fields.
  • MPS modeling captures geological structures from training images and anchors them to data locations. These structures can be either a priori geological interpretations or conceptual models.
  • Multipoint geostatistics is a new advanced geostatistics approach. It allows reservoir modelers to incorporate their prior knowledge, interpretations, or conceptual models into the reservoir modeling process through training images. These training images are numerical representations of the structures/features that are believed to exist in the reservoir under study. Once we have the training images, MPS can extract curvilinear structures or complex features from the training images and anchor them to the reservoir locations where the samples/observations are collected, leading to more realistic reservoir models. Introducing training images into reservoir modeling is a milestone. Note that there are two ingredients in the use of MPS: training images (conceptual models) and the real data (observations). These two pieces are typically separated. However, in realistic applications, generating representative training images, in particular in 3D, has proved to be a bottleneck in MPS applications. Generating a continuous variable training image is even more difficult than the creation of categorical training image.
  • electrical borehole images may run in water-based (conductive) mud, such as Schlumberger's FMI (Formation Microlmager) log, which is based on dipmeter technology that has been commercially available since the 1950's.
  • Electrical borehole- imaging tools are, in essence, sophisticated dipmeters.
  • the imaging tools have microresistivity electrodes arranged around the wellbore on pads that are pressed against the borehole wall.
  • the evolutionary trend from dipmeters to borehole images has been from a few electrodes to a complex array of electrodes on multiple pads. See Hurley, N. F., 2004, Borehole Images, in Asquith, G.
  • Tools are first run into the hole with the pads closed. At the start of the log run, either four, six, or eight pads are pressed against the borehole wall. The number of pads depends on the logging device. Electrical current is forced into the rock through the electrodes, and sensors measure the current after it interacts with the formation. Raw data include multiple electrode readings, caliper readings from individual pads or pairs of pads, and x-, y-, and z-axis accelerometer and magnetometer readings. Borehole deviation and pad 1 (tool) orientation are determined from the magnetometers. The sample rate for electrode and accelerometer data is very high, normally 120 samples/ft (400 samples/m).
  • Areal coverage of the borehole face is a function of width of the electrode arrays, number of pads, and borehole diameter. In general, 40 to 80% of the borehole face is imaged in typical boreholes. Non-imaged parts of the borehole appear as blank strips between the pads.
  • Borehole images are created by assigning color maps to different bins or ranges of resistivity values. Colored pixels are then arranged in their proper geometric position around the wellbore. By convention, low-resistivity features, such as shales or fluid-filled fractures, are displayed as dark colors. High-resistivity features, such as sandstones and limestones, are displayed as shades of brown, yellow, and white.
  • Static images are those which have had one contrast setting applied to the entire well. They provide useful views of relative changes in rock resistivity throughout the borehole.
  • Dynamic images which have had variable contrast applied in a moving window, provide enhanced views of features such as vugs, fractures, and bed boundaries. Dynamic images bring out subtle features in rocks that have very low resistivities, such as shales, and very high resistivities, such as carbonates and crystalline rocks.
  • Oil-Based (non- conductive) Mud in particular high mud resistivities (greater than 50 ohm-m), typical of oil- based muds, are unsuitable for most electrical borehole images.
  • OBMI Oil-Base Microlmager
  • This tool generates borehole images by passing electrical current into the formation from two large electrodes on each pad, which is at a high voltage (about 300V).

J., and Caldwell, R. L., 1970, Formation evaluation by inspection with the borehole televiewer: Geophysics, v. 35, p. 254-269.
  • the Ultrasonic Borehole Imager (UBI) is Schlumberger' s primary acoustic tool for open-hole applications.
  • the UBI tool which is centralized in the well, has a rotating transducer that emits and records sound waves that bounce off of the borehole wall. Both acoustic amplitude and travel time are recorded and processed into images. Normally, borehole coverage is 100%, with no gaps in the images. However, poor-quality images may result when the tool is decentralized, or the borehole wall is irregular.
  • Petrophysical Facies may be considered, among other things, as characteristic signatures on borehole-image logs, such as vugs, and resistive and conductive patches.
  • a particular view by Dehghani et al. in 1999 suggested that zones of enhanced porosity and permeability exist in the vicinity of vugs. Dehghani, K., Harris, P. M., Edwards, K. A., and Dees, W. T., 1999, Modeling a vuggy carbonate reservoir: AAPG Bulletin, v. 83, p. 19-42.
  • Dehghani et al. (1999) used thin sections, SEM images, and mini-permeability measurements to confirm their concept.
  • Schindler (2005) and Tanprasat (2005) used image analysis of fluorescent-inked core photos to show that swarms of small vugs preferentially exist in the vicinity of large vugs. See Schindler, J., 2005, Quantification of vuggy porosity, Indian Basin field, New Mexico: Unpublished M.S. thesis, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO.; and Tanprasat, S., 2005, Petrophysical analysis of vuggy porosity in the Shu'aiba Formation of the United Arab Emirates: Unpublished M.S. thesis, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO. Such small vugs are below the resolution of the borehole-imaging tool, so they appear as dark regions, rather than as discrete vugs in the image logs.

  • a filter is a local template (window) with a set of weights associated to each pixel location of the template. Applying a filter to a local pattern results in a filter score, the score is viewed as a numerical summary of that local pattern.
  • a set of default or use- defined filters is designed such that each filter can record different aspects of the training pattern seen within the template. These filters are used to transform training patterns into a filter score space. This pattern scoring provides a dimension reduction of patterns. By partitioning that score space of limited dimension, similar training patterns are classified based on their filter scores.
  • the FILTERSIM algorithm starts with a classification of local training patterns in a filter score space of reduced dimension. Simulation proceeds along a sequential path through the simulation space, by determining which pattern class is most similar to the local conditioning data event, sampling a specific pattern from the pattern class, and then patching the sampled pattern onto the image at the simulation sites.
  • the simulation random path and the sampling of patterns from pattern classes allow for different simulated realizations, yet all are conditional to the same original data. Because of the dimension reduction brought by the filter summaries of any pattern, and because patterns are grouped into classes, the algorithm is fast and reasonable in terms of RAM demand.
  • the seminal MPS algorithm and FILTERSIM algorithm are able to honor absolute or so-called "hard” constraints from data acquired in wells or outcrops, and conditional or “soft” constraints from seismic data, facies probability fields, and rotation and affinity (or scale) constraint grids. All of these data are used in the stochastic modeling process to generate ID, 2D, or 3D maps of geological facies or rock properties. Because there is a random component involved in MPS simulations, individual realizations of property fields created by MPS algorithms differ, but the ensemble of realizations provides geoscientists and reservoir engineers with improved quantitative estimates of the spatial distribution and uncertainty of geological facies in a modeled reservoir volume. Moreover, these algorithms honor both hard and soft input data constraints (Zhang, 2006a).

  • the shapes of different features appearing on the images are supposed to represent a model of real geological features, with each category typically representing a different geological facies or different kind of geological body.
  • Training images are typically required to contain "stationary" patterns, i.e., the patterns must be independent of their location in space (invariant according to any translation) and must be repetitive over the training image area.
  • this stationarity can consist, but is not limited to, geological object orientation stationarity (where directional objects/features do not rotate across the image) and geological scale stationarity (where the size of objects/features on the image does not change across the image) (Caers and Zhang, 2004).

  • Training images are supposed to model or reproduce real geological features and should as much as possible be derived from existing geologically meaningful images. This requires research on statistical and image-processing methods that will allow use of images from any source, e.g., hand-drawn sketches, aerial photographs, satellite images, seismic volumes, geological object models, physical scale models, or forward geological process models. Compared to the creation of continuously variable training images, generating categorically variable training images is easier.

Hence, the entire process of applying MPS becomes data-driven. This advantage should be stressed in our patent memo and provisions
  • Borehole images produce oriented electrical and acoustic maps of the rocks and fluids encountered by a borehole.
  • Fullbore images are complete, 360-degree views of the borehole wall. By design, most acoustic and logging-while-drilling tools generate fullbore images. Most resistivity image logs need to have fullbore images modeled because gaps exist between pads, and there may be damage to certain electrodes or pads. The modeling process uses continuous-variable algorithms developed within MPS.
  • Fullbore images provide the physical location of features, such as bed boundaries, pores, and conductive and resistive patches within the rock on the borehole wall. These outline complex 3D volumes, known as petrophysical facies.
  • Digital rocks or core samples can be generated from 2-dimensional thin sections, scanning-electron-microscope images, confocal-microscope images, or computer- generated sphere packs. Most digital rocks or core samples, however, are generated from computed- tomographic scans (CTscans) of rocks and fluids. Tomographic images are created when the scanner transmits X-rays at different angles through the rock to a receiver. X-ray attenuation is converted to density, and serial sections are built into 3D views of the rocks and pores.

Fullbore images surround the numerical pseudocore with cylindrical envelopes to condition the models. Each numerical pseudocore absolutely honors the digital rock or core samples and fullbore images. Numerical pseudocores can be gridded into models suitable for fluid-flow simulations. Capillary pressure and relative permeability curves are provided by conceptual models, special core analysis, or established techniques of fine-scale pore-network modeling.
