超声兰姆波扫描成像测井影响因素模拟分析

Simulation Analysis of Influencing Factors on Ultrasonic Lamb Wave Scanning Imaging Logging

  • 摘要: 为解决传统固井质量检测与评价方法,如声幅/变密度测井和扇区水泥胶结测井,对低密度水泥的敏感性较低、受环空微环隙影响大、无方位分辨能力和无法检测套管损坏等问题,求解了多层介质反射系数及激发声场,分析了超声兰姆波的激发条件,设计了超声兰姆波扫描成像测井仪的基本结构和关键参数,并模拟分析了固井水泥、井筒流体、套管壁厚等因素对弯曲型兰姆波的影响,以及套后介质和微环对共振波的影响。分析结果表明:弯曲型兰姆波在慢速水泥中的衰减较大,且不同微环厚度对其相对幅度的影响显著;弯曲型兰姆波的衰减系数随着钻井液密度增大而增大,套管壁厚越小,弯曲型兰姆波的衰减系数越大;套后介质的声阻抗对共振波的幅度和共振效率有重要影响,但共振波对微环的识别能力相对较低。研究结果可为基于弯曲型超声兰姆波扫描成像测井仪的研制与资料处理提供理论指导,有助于提升低密度水泥固井质量的评价精度。

     

    Abstract: To address the limitations of traditional cementing quality detection and evaluation methods, such as acoustic cement bond log/variable density logging (CBL/VDL) and segmented cement bonding tool (SBT) logging, which have low sensitivity to low-density cement, suffer from significant influence by micro annulus, lack of azimuthal identification capability and casing damage detect capability. By solving the reflection coefficients of multi-layer media and the excitation acoustic field, the excitation conditions of ultrasonic Lamb waves were analyzed. The basic structure and key parameters of the ultrasonic Lamb wave scanning imaging logging instrument were designed. The influence of factors such as bond cement, wellbore fluid, and casing specifications on the flexural Lamb waves, as well as the influence of post-casing medium and micro annulus on the resonance waves, were simulated and analyzed. The analysis reveals that in slow-setting cement, flexural Lamb waves exhibit greater attenuation, and different micro annulus thicknesses have a significant impact on their amplitude values. Furthermore, the attenuation coefficient of flexural Lamb waves increases with the density of the drilling fluid, and as the casing gets thinner, the attenuation coefficient of the flexural Lamb waves gets higher. The acoustic impedance of the post-casing medium plays a crucial role in the amplitude of resonance waves and resonance efficiency, although the identification capability of resonance waves for micro annulus is relatively low. The research results provide theoretical guidance for the development and data processing of the flexural ultrasonic Lamb wave scanning imaging logging instrument and help improve the evaluation accuracy of cementing quality by low-density cement.
