The characterization of the reservoir rock's geomechanical properties is critical to address wellbore instabilities and subsidence-related issues. To address these issues, lab-derived dynamic and static elastic properties are essential to match the in-situ rock properties. In this study, as part of a new integrated workflow P-wave and S-wave velocities are congregated using ultrasonic transducers for the core plugs, which constitutes mainly carbonates, shales, and both. Mineral composition, shale anisotropy, seismic velocities, and cross plots are studied to understand shear wave splitting. During this study, as a part of 1D mechanical Earth models, rock elastic properties are calculated for 60 wells using petrophysical logs (gamma, density, acoustic and caliper). Also, triaxial loading tests are conducted on 14 specimens collected from the same wells, static Poisson's ratio and static Young's modulus are computed from the stress-strain curves. The major differences are observed between static and dynamic elastic properties calculated from well logs and lab tests. Cohesion and friction angle for rock samples are estimated from the triaxial tests under different confining pressures. The objective of this study is to compare the elastic properties derived from the ultrasonic method with well logs and fill the gaps in the 1D geomechanical model. The combined analysis of elastic properties from different methods provides exciting insights on wellbore stability in anisotropic rock.

岩石样品超声波速度的实验室测量及其与测井数据的关系:孟买近海案例研究

储集岩地质力学特性的表征对于解决井眼不稳定性和沉降相关问题至关重要。为了解决这些问题,实验室衍生的动态和静态弹性特性对于匹配原位岩石属性。在这项研究中,作为新的集成工作流程的一部分,P 波和 S 波速度使用用于岩心塞的超声波换能器聚集,岩心塞主要由碳酸盐、页岩和两者组成。研究矿物成分、页岩各向异性、地震速度和交会图以了解剪切波分裂。在这项研究中,作为一维机械地球模型的一部分,使用岩石物理测井(伽马、密度、声学和卡尺)计算了 60 口井的岩石弹性特性。此外,对从同一口井采集的 14 个试样进行了三轴加载试验,根据应力-应变曲线计算了静态泊松比和静态杨氏模量。通过测井和实验室测试计算出的静态和动态弹性属性之间存在主要差异。岩石样品的黏聚力和摩擦角是根据不同围压下的三轴试验估算的。本研究的目的是将超声波方法得出的弹性特性与测井进行比较,并填补一维地质力学模型中的空白。不同方法对弹性特性的综合分析为各向异性岩石的井筒稳定性提供了令人兴奋的见解。
