摘要: 地应力是石油工程设计与施工所需要的重要参数之一。通常获取地应力大小的方式是通过水压致裂法直接测量、室内试验以及测井资料计算得到,但水压致裂法和室内试验法获取地应力的成本较高,根据测井资料计算地应力需要根据经验校正。而油田具有丰富的套管变形资料,因此,可以利用套管变形量进行反演获取地应力。利用已知的套管变形量作为基础条件,构造符合套管在井下的边界椭圆应力模式,选择测点计算最大变形量与测量最大变形量差值的平方为目标优化函数,采用合理的优化技术对位移进行反分析来获取最大和最小地应力。利用该方法对新疆某油田的A井进行了分析,结果表明,采用该方法能快速有效地计算出套管变形条件下的实际非均匀载荷大小,且计算结果与利用测井资料计算出的结果相差不大,可为合理设计套管柱、减少套管损坏提供依据,为油田获取地应力提供一种新的途径。Abstract: In-situ stress is one of the important parameters for petroleum engineering design and operation.Usually in-situ stress is obtained by direct measurement and laboratory test,the two methods are higher cost,but oil field has much more data for casing deformation,it can be used to conduct inversion and calculation to get in-situ stress.Taking casing deformation data as the premise condition,in-situ stress inversion can be made to establish the oval stress boundary mode,which is consistent with down hole conditions of casing.The square of difference between calculated maximum deformation and measured maximum deformation is taken as the optimization objective function,the inverse analysis of casing displacement can be done to obtain the maximum and minimum stresses.This method has been used to analyze Well A in Xinjiang Oilfield,the results show that,the value of actual non-uniform load can be calculated rapidly under the casing deformation conditions by this method,and the calculation result has very little error compared with the result obtained from logging data,which provides the basis for rational design of casing strings,and eliminating the casing damage,it has offered a new way to get the in-situ stress for oil fields.
