简介:摘要富源信德矿区上部地层结构松散、破碎、钻孔坍塌严重。而且存在少量石灰岩,灰岩裂隙大,漏水严重。而设计的钻孔深度大。给施工带来很大困难,通过采取多级钻孔结构,并在钻进参数,冲洗液、钻头扩孔器上的合理应用,解决了施工难题,顺利完成了1204米深ZK502#钻孔。
简介:TheresistivityexperimentalmeasurementsofcoresamplesdrilledfromlowpermeabilityreservoirsofOrdosBasin,NorthwestChina,illustratethatthecementationfactorsarenotagminate,butvaryfrom1.335to1.749.Thisleadstoachallengefortheestimationofwaterandhydrocarbonsaturation.BasedontheanalysisofPurcellequationandassumptionthatrockresistivityisdeterminedbytheparallelconnectionofnumerouscapillaryresistances,atheoreticalexpressionofcementationfactorintermsofporosityandpermeabilityisestablished.Then,cementationfactorcanbecalculatediftheparametersofporosityandpermeabilityaredetermined.Inthefieldapplication,porositycanbeeasilyobtainedbyconventionallogs.However,itisatoughchallengetoestimatepermeabilityduetothestrongheterogeneityoflowpermeabilityreservoirs.Thus,theSchlumbergerDollResearch(SDR)modelderivedfromNMRlogshasbeenproposedtoestimatepermeability.BasedontheanalysisofthetheoreticalexpressionsofcementationfactorandSDRmodel,anovelcementationfactorpredictionmodel,whichisrelevanttoporosityandlogarithmicmeanofNMRT2spectrum(T2lm),isderived.TheadvantageofthismodelisthatalltheinputinformationcanbeacquiredfromNMRlogsaccurately.Inordertoconfirmthecredibilityofthenovelmodel,theresistivityandcorrespondinglaboratoryNMRmeasurementsof27coresamplesareconducted.Thecredibilityofthemodelisconfirmedbycomparingthepredictedcementationfactorswiththecoreanalyzedresults.Theabsoluteerrorsforallcoresamplesarelowerthan0.071.Oncethismodelisextendedtofieldapplication,theaccuracyofwaterandhydrocarbonsaturationestimationwillbesignificantlyimproved.
