Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to well logging and measurement in subterranean formations and, more particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system and method for determining shear wave anisotropy in a vertically transversely isotropic (“VTI”) formation.
- VTI vertically transversely isotropic
- Acoustic logging may be used to determine the slowness of a subterranean formation.
- the slowness or velocity of a subterranean formations may be directionally dependent, such that the slowness or velocity of the formation changes depending on the direction of acoustic wave propagation and its associated polarization.
- the slowness variation directional or polarization dependence is called seismic anisotropy, which is described by a formation stiffness tensor.
- a dipole flexural wave is currently used to provide information on a horizontal shear wave modulus, c 44
- a Stoneley wave is currently used to provide information on a vertical shear wave modulus, c 66 .
- Stoneley waves are sensitive to drilling mud velocity, which is not measured directly, and lead to distorted and unreliable anisotropy measurements. What is needed is a way to reliably and robustly determine both the shear elastic constants c 44 and c 66, and a mud velocity in the borehole.
- Figure 1 illustrates a well with an example logging system.
- Figure 2 illustrates an example acoustic measurement system.
- Figure 3 illustrates a dispersion chart comparing Stoneley wave and dipole flexural wave sensitivity to anisotropy in fast shale.
- Figure 4 illustrates an example method according to aspects of the present disclosure.
- the present disclosure relates generally to logging and measurement tools used in subterranean formations and, more particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system and method for determining shear wave anisotropy in a vertically transversely isotropic formation.
- Embodiments of the present disclosure may be applicable to horizontal, vertical, deviated, or otherwise nonlinear wellbores in any type of subterranean formation. Embodiments may be applicable to injection wells as well as production wells, including hydrocarbon wells.
- Figure 1 a illustrates a formation 100 that contains a deposit of a desirable fluid such as oil or natural gas.
- the formation 100 may comprise a vertically transversely isotropic formation, such as shale.
- a vertically transversely isotropic formation describes a formation with physical properties which are symmetric within bands normal to a plane of isotropy.
- a wellbore 101 may be drilled in the formation 100 using a drilling system 1 10.
- a drilling rig 1 1 1 may be coupled to a drill string 1 12, which in turn couples to a drill bit 1 13.
- a drill string is defined as including drill pipe 1 14, one or more drill collars 1 15, and a drill bit 1 13.
- Drill string 112 may include a rotary- steerable system (not shown) that drives the action of drill bit 113 from the surface. The action of drill bit 113 gradually wears away the formation, creating and extending well 101. As the depth of well 101 increases, drill operators add additional drill pipe and/or drill collar segments to drill string 112, allowing drill bit 113 to progress farther into formation 100.
- Testing tools may be incorporated into the drill string for logging while drilling (“LWD”) and measurement while drilling (“MWD”) operations.
- acoustic measurement tools may be included as part of the drill string or the drill collar. Measurement tools within the drill string or drill collar may be electronically coupled to a control unit 160 on the surface. Measurements gather at a downhole may be stored downhole in a storage medium or transmitted through a wireline or wireless connection to the control unit 160. Power may be provided to the measurement tools via a downhole power source, such as a battery, a generator or from a surface power source. In certain other embodiments, similar acoustic measurement tools may be used in wireline operations, sent downhole separate from a drill string.
- control unit 160 may include a processor to analyze data received at a downhole measurement tool.
- FIG. 1 shows control unit 160 with the processor at a surface location, a separate control unit and processor may be located inside well 101 , or it may be located at or near the sea floor if drilling occurs underwater.
- a control unit with a processor may be located inside drill bit 1 13 or in drill string 1 12.
- the drilling system may include multiple processors, one of which is located in drill bit 113 or elsewhere in the drill string along with data storage equipment.
- Fig. 2 illustrates an example acoustic measurement system, which can be incorporated into a drilling system similar to the drilling system described above, or which may be incorporated into a wireline measurement operation. Operational procedures may be managed by a system control center 201.
- System control center 201 may be located at the ground or inside the wellbore, disposed in downhole equipment.
- the system control center may be incorporated into a control unit on the surface, such as control unit 160 in Fig. 1.
- the systems control center 201 may communicate bi-directionally with the transmitter 206 and sensors 207 of an acoustic measurement tool via a communications unit 202. Although a single transmitter is shown in the Fig. lb, multiple transmitters may be used in some embodiments.
- the transmitter 206 may transmit energy, such as acoustic waves, into the formation.
- the system control center 201 may at least partially control the generation of acoustic waves that are transmitted into a formation.
- the system control center 201 may receive measurements of acoustic data received at sensors 207.
- Sensors 207 may be of monopole type, dipole type, or a higher order type, as will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art with the benefit of this disclosure.
- Sensors 207 may measure energy received from the formation, such as acoustic waves reflected from the formation.
- the type of a sensor may be changed electrically by adjusting the phases of its poles. For example, if a sensor has two poles that are in phase, the resulting sensor is a monopole type sensor. On the other hand, if two poles area 180° out of phase, the sensor would be a dipole type sensor.
- a data acquisition unit 203 may communicate bidirectionally with the system control center 201 and may store measurements from the sensors.
- the data acquisition unit may be included in a separate system 203 from the system control center 201, or may be implemented with the system control center in a control unit, such as the control unit in Fig. 1.
- the measurement be processed with a data processing unit 204 to determine a formation characteristic, such as slowness information or shear wave properties.
- the data processing unit 204 such as a processor from a computer system, may also communicate bidirectionally with the system control center 201, and may be included in a control unit with the system control center 201 and the data acquisition unit 203.
- a visualizing unit 205 may comprise a computer monitor, for example, and may allow users to monitor the data and interrupt system operation if necessary.
- At least one transmitter transmits energy into a formation.
- the term “formation” includes mineral beds and deposits, including vertically transversely isotropic formations such as shale.
- energy includes acoustic waves in all their forms. These waves may be characterized by a frequency and a velocity. The acoustic waves may induce certain waveforms within the formation, such as primary waves (“P -waves”), secondary waves (“S-waves”), Stoneley waves, and flexural waves. The waves may radiate within a borehole and a formation, and may be reflected and recorded at sensors in an acoustic logging tool, such a sensors 207 in Fig. 2.
- the sensors may measure characteristics of the received waveforms that can be processed to determine characteristics of the surrounding formation.
- acoustic measurements may be used to determine certain characteristics of a transversely isotropic formation.
- a formation with transversely isotropy includes a symmetric axis perpendicular to which the formation has the same material properties.
- a transversely isotropic formation can be described by five elastic constants c l l5 c 13 , c 33 , C 4, and c 6 .
- Constants C44 and c 66 , the horizontal and vertical shear wave modulii, respectively, are of particular interest, as they are related to shear-wave propagation in a transversely isotropic medium.
- constant c 66 may be determined using both a Stoneley wave and a dipole flexural wave, with the dipole flexural wave being used to determine both constants c 44 and c 66 .
- a Stoneley wave also known as a surface wave or an interface wave, is generally associated with the interface between two solid media. Within a wellbore, the interface may include the face of the well itself, such that the Stoneley wave propagates along the face of the wellbore.
- Dipole flexural waves may propagate into a formation, in a plane transverse to the axis of the wellbore.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a numerical calculation of Stoneley and dipole flexural wave dispersion in a vertically transversely isotropic formation.
- a vertically transversely isotropic formation describes a formation with physical properties which are symmetric within bands normal to the vertical axis.
- the anisotropy of a VTI formation describes the directional dependence of wave propagation speed within a particular band.
- Slowness dispersion describes the speed with which the acoustic waves propagate along or within the vertically transversely isotropic formation.
- the slowness results at different anisotropy values for both Stoneley (monopole) waves and dipole flexural waves are plotted versus a broad band frequency range (0 Hz to 10 kHz) of the Stoneley (monopole) waves and dipole flexural waves.
- both the Stoneley wave and the dipole flexural wave are sensitive to a shear wave anisotropy ⁇ .
- the dipole flexural wave is insensitive to shear wave anisotropy ⁇ , allowing for use of a low frequency portion of a dipole flexural wave to determine c 44 .
- Step 401 includes generating a broad band Stoneley wave and a broad band dipole flexural wave at a logging tool located within a wellbore.
- the logging tool may comprise the acoustic measurement system and tool described in Fig. 2.
- each of the Stoneley wave and the dipole flexural wave may comprise a waveform with a frequency range between one hundred hertz and 10 kHz, as shown in Fig. 3.
- a processor such as a processor in an above ground control unit, may cause electronic equipment located within a wellbore to generate the acoustic signals.
- the waves may be transmitted into the formation by one or more transmitters, such as the transmitter in Fig. 2.
- Step 402 may include receiving at the logging tool first data corresponding to the broad band Stoneley wave and second data corresponding to the broad band dipole flexural wave.
- the first and second data may include measurements of slowness or velocity values for the Stoneley and dipole flexural waveform within the formation, respectively.
- the values may be received at a plurality of sensors disposed on the surface of the logging tool.
- the measurements may be transmitted to a data acquisition unit located within the logging tool or within a control unit at the surface.
- the data acquisition unit may store the data for processing.
- Step 403 may include determining a vertical shear wave constant, c 66 , by at least applying an inversion algorithm to the first data and the second data.
- the determination may occur at a data processing unit, such as a processor, located in a control unit.
- the control unit may be located at the surface or within the logging tool.
- the inversion algorithm may include one of a stochastic inversion algorithm or a non-linear least squares inversion algorithm, as will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art in view of this disclosure.
- the inversion algorithm may include comparing a set of pre-calculated dispersion curves to the dispersion curves calculated for each of the Stoneley wave and the dipole flexural wave according to the recorded data, such as the dispersion curves shown in Fig. 3.
- Other inversion algorithms may be used, as will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in view of this disclosure.
- the method may include a step of determining a horizontal shear wave modulus c 4 by applying an inversion algorithm to data corresponding to a low-frequency portion of the dipole flexural wave signal.
- the low frequency portion of the dipole flexural wave signal may be limited to frequencies within 0 Hz and 5 kHz.
- the method may include determining a drilling mud velocity by at least applying an inversion algorithm to the first data and the second data.
- the Stoneley wave is sensitive to shear wave anisotropy gamma and the drilling mud velocity.
- the dipole flexural wave at higher frequencies is also sensitive to the shear wave anisotropy gamma and the drilling mud velocity. Accordingly, the drilling mud velocity can be calculated by at least applying an inversion algorithm to the first and second data.
- the above method is advantageous in that it allows for a robust determination of the vertical shear wave modulus c 66 .
- a more accurate and robust determination of vertical shear wave modulus c 66 can be determined as compared to current practices, where the Stoneley wave is used exclusively.
- a more accurate determination of vertical shear wave modulus c 66 affords for more accurate calculations of related geomechanical properties, including fracture strength and brittleness of a formation.
