For those general water injection wells, whose perforated intervals are beyond the tubing shoe, the sinking speed of isotope grains is related to the density and salinity of the injection water and the tubing dimension. We studied the motion of the isotope grains in the water injection wells by both theoretical calculation and field experiment. The result shows that if the water injection quantity is over 20 m＆3/d, and the density of the isotope grains, whose diameter is 100-600 μm, is 1.06 g/cm^3, then the logging technique for this kind of water injection wells will be appropriate. Whether water injection profile logging is successful in the well, whose perforated intervals are beyond the tubing shoe, depends on the sinking speed of the tracer grains.展开更多

Then the primary inversion is carried out based on the array resistivity log. The mud invasion process is numerically simulated based on the oil-water flow equation and water convection diffusion equation. The results show that the radial resistivity of a fresh mud-invaded oil-bearing layer presents complex distribution characteristics, such as nonlinear increase, increasing to decreasing and low resistivity annulus, and the resistive invasion profile of a water layer is monotonic. Under specific conditions, array resistivity log can reflect these changes and the array induction log is more sensitive. Nevertheless, due to the effect of factors like large invasion depth, reservoir physical and oil-bearing properties, the measured apparent resistivity may differ greatly from the actual mud filtrate invasion profile in an oil-bearing layer. We proposed a five-parameter formation model to simulate the complex resistivity distribution of fresh mud-invaded formation. Then, based on the principle of non-linear least squares, the measured array resistivity log is used for inversion with the Marquardt method. It is demonstrated that the inverted resistivity is typically non-monotonic in oil-bearing layers and is monotonic in water layers. Processing of some field data shows that this is helpful in achieving efficient reservoir fluid recognition.展开更多
