TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of oil content measurement for reservoirs, in particular to a method and an apparatus for measuring oil content of a tight reservoir based on nuclear magnetic resonance.

BACKGROUND ART

The geophysical logging is to adopt various instruments to measure the physical parameters of the downhole rock formation and the technical conditions of the well, analyze the recorded data, and conduct the geological and engineering researches, in the process of exploration and production of oil, coal and metal ore bodies. With the continuous development of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology, the nuclear magnetic resonance logging technology has become one of the important geophysical logging methods, and it plays an important role in fluid property identification, pore structure evaluation and bound water content calculation.

At present, the nuclear magnetic resonance technology has been widely applied to aspects such as rock porosity, permeability and free fluid parameters in the petrophysics experiments, wherein there are two treatment methods for a rock sample containing both water and oil: (1) to add a water-soluble paramagnetic ion solution into a rock to shorten relaxation time of a water signal, so that the water signal is distinguished from an oil signal with longer relaxation time; this method has the disadvantages that it takes a long time to saturate the solution, the oil is highly volatile, it is difficult to completely saturate all the pores of the rock sample, it is possible to destroy the structure of the rock sample in the solution saturation process, and there are many error sources which lead to inaccurate measurement results; 2) to directly perform a rock detection without adding a solution, and the detection limit of lateral relaxation time (relaxation time T₂) in the existing nuclear magnetic resonance technology is about 6.7 ms. The above treatment methods can both achieve the micron-level pore detection, thereby measuring the oil content of the conventional reservoir rocks.

However, since the relaxation time of oil and water in the tight reservoir rock nanopores is superimposed and very short (i.e., the relaxation time T₂is less than 6.7 ms, and particularly is 0.01 ms to 1 ms), the water phase signal and the oil phase signal influence each other. Therefore, neither of the above methods in the prior art is suitable for measuring the oil content in the tight reservoir rock nanopores, i.e., the methods for measuring the oil content in the prior art cannot distinguish the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal and the water phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal in the nanopores from each other, and it is impossible to accurately detect the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal in the nanopores (i.e., the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal with the relaxation time T₂less than 6.7 ms, and particularly is 0.01 ms to 1 ms).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In order that the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention are clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, those described are merely a part, rather than all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Any other embodiment obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without paying any creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

With respect to the problem in the prior art that an oil phase magnetic resonance signal and a water phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal in a tight reservoir rock cannot be distinguished from each other, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for measuring oil content of a tight reservoir based on nuclear magnetic resonance, which adds a diffusion dimension on the basis of the relaxation dimension (the diffusion refers to an irregular thermal motion of molecules, i.e., Brownian motion; and the diffusion in nuclear magnetic resonance generally refers to a phenomenon in which oil/water molecules continuously and randomly change the motion directions and positions; a velocity of molecular diffusion is called as a diffusion coefficient, and the oil/water molecules have different diffusion coefficients; by applying certain conditions, a difference will be produced between the oil and water signals in terms of the diffusion dimension); by using the diffusion relaxation characteristics difference between the oil phase and the water phase in the tight reservoir rock, and by applying a gradient magnetic field, the water phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal is rapidly attenuated to zero by specific pulses and gradients, while the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal is retained; next, specific pulses and gradients are applied to recover the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal; since the influence of the water phase is excluded, the embodiments of the present application can achieve a collection of an oil nuclear magnetic resonance signal with the relaxation time T₂less than 6.7 ms, especially is 0.01 ms to 1 ms, so as to avoid the mutual influence between the short relaxation oil and water signals in the nanopores, and effectively detect the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal in the nanopores, thereby acquiring more accurate oil content of the tight reservoir rock, and avoiding the problem of a high measured value of the oil content due to the influence of the water phase.

Among the elements contained in the formation, the hydrogen nuclei have the largest gyromagnetic ratio and a high abundance, while fluids (i.e., water and oil) in the formation rock contain a lot of hydrogen nuclei, so the hydrogen nuclei can be taken as the research object. The relaxation properties of the fluids in the rock can be acquired by detecting the relaxation characteristics of the hydrogen nuclei. In general, the nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation mechanisms can be classified into particle surface relaxation, molecular diffusion relaxation and volume relaxation. In which,

(1) Particle surface relaxation: the molecules constantly move and diffuse in the pore space; during NMR measurement, the diffusion gives the molecules an adequate opportunity to collide with the particle surfaces, and each collision provides an opportunity for spin relaxation. During the collision of the molecules, there may be two situations: the hydrogen nuclei transfer the spin energy to the particle surfaces so that they are rearranged in a direction of the static magnetic field, thereby influencing the longitudinal relaxation time T₁; or the protons irreversibly lose phases, thereby contributing to the transverse relaxation time T₂. Of course, these phenomena do not happen in each collision, and there is only a possibility. Therefore, the probability of particle surface relaxation increases with the probability of collision.

(2) Volume relaxation: for water and hydrocarbon, the volume relaxation is mainly due to a local magnetic field fluctuation caused by the random motion of adjacent spin nuclei. The volume relaxation is very important when a fluid is prevented from coming into contact with the particle surface. (3) Diffusion relaxation: in a gradient magnetic field, the relaxation caused by a molecular diffusion is called as a diffusion relaxation. In the gradient magnetic field, the molecular motion causes the phase loss, which influences T₂relaxation, rather than T₁relaxation. The gradient magnetic field is mainly produced due to the magnetic field inhomogeneity, or the difference between the magnetic susceptibilities of the particulate matter and the pore fluid. The influence of diffusion can be ignored for the pulse sequences with small echo time. It can be seen that the diffusion relaxation has important applications in the diffusion coefficient measurement and the oil-water distinction.

In addition, the particle surface relaxation in most rocks is the main factor influencing T₁and T₂. In the particle surface relaxation, the pore size determines the relaxation rate. In the large pores, the number of collisions is small, so the relaxation time is long; while in the small pores, the number of collisions increases, and the relaxation time is shortened; thus, the relaxation time is proportional to the surface volume ratio of the rock. The pore size of the reservoir rock is inversely proportional to the relaxation rate of the hydrogen nuclei, and if the relaxation time characteristics of the fluid distribution in the rock are measured, the fluid content and distribution in the pores of the rock can be determined. Therefore, the nuclear magnetic resonance T₂spectrum reflects the pore structure characteristics of the rock to some extent, wherein the rock surface relaxation can be expressed with the following Equation 1:

$\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{T_{2}} = ρ_{2} \frac{S}{V} & Equation 1 \end{matrix}$

wherein, the relaxation time T₂is inversely proportional to a pore radius; a proportionality coefficient ρ₂represents a surface relaxation rate in a unit of μm/ms; S represents a surface area of a rock pore; V represents a volume of the rock pore; and

$\frac{S}{V}$

represents a pore specific surface, in a unit of μm⁻¹.

The first 90° pulse, the second 90° pulse, and the third 90° pulse appearing in the embodiments of the present Specification are pulses having a sequential execution order in a unit pulse sequence. The first 90° pulse, the second 90° pulse, and the third 90° pulse are hard pulses with the same pulse width. In which, the Radio Frequency (RF) magnetic field system in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) emits radio frequency electromagnetic waves with a central frequency of Larmor frequency, which excites the proton group of the sample to produce the nuclear magnetic resonance effect. The electromagnetic waves are not in a single frequency, but in a frequency band having a certain width with the Larmor frequency as the center frequency. The radio frequency electromagnetic waves can be classified into hard pulse and soft pulse depending on the frequency bandwidth. The radio frequency pulse is a time-gated high frequency carrier signal, which is a time domain signal. The carrier frequency is the Larmor frequency generated by the frequency source and is a signal of a single frequency. The gating signal pulse sequence generator generates a signal that controls the radio frequency transmission timing. The hard pulse has a narrow time excitation width, but the radio frequency amplitude is high, and the corresponding frequency band is wide, which can excite a large range of protons.

A first time duration, a second time duration, and a third time duration appearing in the embodiments of the present Specification are only used for distinguished expressions, and there is no specific ordinal relationship between them.

In which, the first time duration is a persistent period of the application of the first gradient magnetic field to the tight reservoir rock; further, the first time duration may be a time duration for the oil phase magnetization vector, which is corresponding to the oil phase substance, and the water phase magnetization vector, which is corresponding to the water phase substance, in the tight reservoir rock to be located in the positive and negative directions of the second axis from the same direction of the second axis, and can be acquired based on experimental experiences. Generally, the first time duration may range from 0.01 ms to 6 ms.

The second time duration is a waiting time after the second 90° pulse is applied to the tight reservoir rock, i.e., a time interval between the applications of the second 90° pulse and the third 90° pulse; meanwhile, it is also a time duration for the water phase magnetization vector to be turned from an opposite direction of the initial magnetic field of the first axis to the second axis. Generally, the second time duration may range from 1 ms to 10 ms.

The third time duration is a persistent period of the application of the second gradient magnetic field to the tight reservoir rock. Since the first and second gradient magnetic fields have the opposite directions and the same intensity, the third time duration may be equal to the first time duration, the third time duration may be equal to the first time duration. If the first time duration is the half-echo time of the first 90° pulse, the third time duration is the half-echo time of the third 90° pulse. Generally, the third time duration may range from 0.01 ms to 6 ms.

In the embodiment of the present Specification, the first gradient magnetic field is a gradient magnetic field applied to the tight reservoir rock within a preset time period after the first 90° pulse is applied, and the second gradient magnetic field is a gradient magnetic field applied to the tight reservoir rock within a preset time period after the third 90° pulse is applied. In order to offset the first gradient magnetic field applied to the tight reservoir rock, the first and second gradient magnetic fields have a same intensity and opposite directions.

Based on the content, the embodiments of the present invention provide implementations of a method for measuring oil content of a tight reservoir based on nuclear magnetic resonance. Referring to FIG. 1A, the method for measuring oil content of a tight reservoir based on nuclear magnetic resonance specifically comprises:

Step 100: a pulse sequence and magnetic field application step: applying a pulse sequence to a tight reservoir rock, and after applying a first pulse and a last pulse in the pulse sequence, applying a gradient magnetic field to the tight reservoir rock, respectively, directions of the two applied gradient magnetic fields being opposite to each other, wherein the pulse sequence is composed of three 90° pulses.

In step 100, a first gradient magnetic field is applied after applying a first 90° pulse of the current pulse sequence, and a second gradient magnetic field is applied after applying a third 90° pulse of the current pulse sequence.

It can be understood that before the pulse sequence is applied, under the effect that a direction of an initial magnetic field is the same as a certain direction of an initial axis, hydrogen protons of the fluid in the tight reservoir rock are excited to be subjected to a Larmor precession around the initial axis, so that the oil phase magnetization vector and water phase magnetization vector are both located on the initial axis in the direction of the initial magnetic field.

The function of step 100 in this embodiment is to separate the oil phase magnetization vector from the water phase magnetization vector. For example, referring to FIG. 2, if the direction of the initial magnetic field is as shown by M0, the function of step 100 is to transfer an initial state in which the oil phase magnetization vector and the water phase magnetization vector are both in a positive direction of axis Z, into a state in which the water phase magnetization vector is still in the positive direction of axis Z while the oil phase magnetization vector is in a positive or negative direction of axis Y. At that time, the water phase magnetization vector is already in a stable state, while the oil phase magnetization vector returns to the positive direction of axis Z from axis Y by means of spinning under the effect of the initial magnetic field M0. On this basis, during the motion of the oil phase magnetization vector from axis Y to axis Z, the oil phase magnetization vector cuts the magnetic induction line to generate a signal. The signal detected at that time is only an oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal corresponding to the oil phase magnetization vector, thereby achieving the separation of the oil phase magnetization vector from the water phase magnetization vector.

Step 200: acquiring a nuclear magnetic resonance signal of the tight reservoir rock.

Step 300: determining oil content of the tight reservoir rock according to an intensity of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal.

In one implementation, referring to FIG. 1B, steps A01 and A02 may be further comprised between steps 200 and 300, and they specifically comprise:

step A01: judging whether a type of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is an echo signal, and if yes, executing step A02;

step A02: determining that the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is an oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal.

In steps A01 and A02, after the pulse sequence is applied, the nuclear magnetic resonance signal of the tight reservoir rock is collected, and it is judged whether the type of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is an echo signal. It can be understood that the function of the judgment herein is to confirm whether the current nuclear magnetic resonance signal is only an oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal. That is, the effect of the judgment herein is to detect whether the application of the second gradient magnetic field offsets the initially applied magnetic field. If the type of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is an echo signal, it can be determined that the first and second gradient magnetic fields offset each other. In addition, based on the separation of the oil phase magnetization vector from the water phase magnetization vector realized in step 100, it can be determined that the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is an oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal.

In step 300, determining oil content of the tight reservoir rock according to an intensity of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal specifically may comprise: acquiring the oil content of the tight reservoir rock according to the intensity of the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal and a curve of relationship between a preset intensity of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal and the oil content.

As can be seen from the above description, the method for measuring the oil content of the tight reservoir provided by the embodiments of the present invention firstly distinguishes the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal and the water phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal in the nanopores of the tight reservoir rock from each other, by executing the pulse sequence and magnetic field application step, which concerns three 90° pulses and two gradient magnetic fields, on the tight reservoir rock; next, determines whether the applied gradient magnetic field is offset by detecting the nuclear magnetic resonance signal of the tight reservoir rock and judging whether the type of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is an echo signal, so as to improve the accuracy and reliability of acquisition of the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal; and finally, if the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is an echo signal, determines that the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is only the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal, and determines the oil content of the tight reservoir rock according to the intensity of the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of the detection result of the oil content of the tight reservoir rock.

In one implementation, referring to FIG. 3, step 100 of the method for measuring the oil content of the tight reservoir in the present invention specifically comprises:

step 101: applying a first 90° pulse to the tight reservoir rock, and applying a first gradient magnetic field to the tight reservoir rock within a preset time period after the first 90° pulse is applied;

step 102: applying a second 90° pulse to the tight reservoir rock, when an oil phase magnetization vector corresponding to an oil phase substance and a water phase magnetization vector corresponding to a water phase substance in the tight reservoir rock are in positive and negative directions of a second axis, respectively, wherein the second axis is perpendicular to a first axis that is parallel to a direction of an initial magnetic field.

step 103: applying a third 90° pulse when the oil phase magnetization vector is in the direction of the initial magnetic field and the water phase magnetization vector is turned from an opposite direction of the initial magnetic field of the first axis to the second axis, and applying a second gradient magnetic field to the tight reservoir rock within a preset time period after the third 90° pulse is applied, wherein the first and second gradient magnetic fields have a same intensity and opposite directions.

In one implementation of step 101 of the method for measuring the oil content of the tight reservoir, referring to FIG. 4, step 101 specifically comprises:

Step 101a: applying a first 90° pulse to the tight reservoir rock, so that the oil phase magnetization vector and the water phase magnetization vector are both turned from the opposite direction of the initial magnetic field of the first axis to a same direction of the second axis.

For example, if the direction of the initial magnetic field M0 is the same as the positive direction of axis Z, the oil phase magnetization vector and the water phase magnetization vector in the tight reservoir rock are both in an initial state of being in the positive direction of axis Z, as shown in FIG. 5. Next, a first 90° pulse is applied to the tight reservoir rock, and if the positive direction from axis Z to axis Y is taken as the application direction of the 90° pulse, the oil phase magnetization vector and the water phase magnetization vector are both turned from the positive direction of axis Z to a same direction of axis Y, as shown in FIG. 6. In this example, the oil phase magnetization vector and the water phase magnetization vector are both turned to the positive direction of axis Y.

Step 101b: applying the first gradient magnetic field to the tight reservoir rock for a first time duration, within the preset time period after the first 90° pulse is applied, so that the oil phase magnetization vector and the water phase magnetization vector are rotated to positive and negative directions of the second axis, respectively.

It can be understood that the preset time period can be set based on the specific application situations, and the specific value may range from 0.01 ms to 10 ms.

For example, if the direction of the initial magnetic field M0 is the same as the positive direction of axis Z, the oil phase magnetization vector and the water phase magnetization vector begin to recover to their respective equilibrium states under the effect of the initial magnetic field M0, when the first 90° pulse is applied and the oil phase magnetization vector and the water phase magnetization vector are both turned from the positive direction of axis Z to a same direction of axis Y, and this recovery process forms a Free Induction Decay (FID). At that time, the oil phase magnetization vector and the water phase magnetization vector are both rotated around axis Z in plane XY, which is a diffusion process. Since the oil phase substance and the water phase substance have different diffusion coefficients (the diffusion coefficient of the water phase substance is greater than that of the oil phase substance, generally reaching a difference at an order of magnitude), during the recoveries of the oil phase magnetization vector and the water phase magnetization vector to their equilibrium states, the diffusion velocity of the water phase magnetization vector is higher than that of the oil phase magnetization vector. In order to increase the diffusion velocity difference between the water phase magnetization vector and the oil phase magnetization vector, the first gradient magnetic field is applied to the tight reservoir rock for a second time duration in step 101b, so that the diffusion velocity difference between the water phase magnetization vector and the oil phase magnetization vector is increased, and the water phase magnetization vector and the oil phase magnetization vector are rotated to the positive and negative directions of axis Y, respectively, when being rotated on plane XY, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, wherein in FIG. 7, the water phase magnetization vector is in the positive direction of axis Y, and the oil phase magnetization vector is in the negative direction of axis Y; and in FIG. 8, the water phase magnetization vector is in the negative direction of axis Y, and the oil phase magnetization vector is in the positive direction of axis Y.

In one implementation of step 102 of the method for measuring the oil content of the tight reservoir, step 102 specifically comprises:

Step 102a: applying a second 90° pulse to the tight reservoir rock and waiting for a second time duration, turning the oil phase magnetization vector and the water phase magnetization vector from the second axis to the direction of the initial magnetic field of the first axis and the opposite direction thereof, respectively, and then turning the water phase magnetization vector from the opposite direction of the initial magnetic field of the first axis to the second axis.

For example, if the direction of the initial magnetic field M0 is the same as the positive direction of axis Z, a second 90° pulse is applied to the tight reservoir rock and a second time duration is waited for when the water phase magnetization vector and the oil phase magnetization vector are rotated to positive and negative directions of axis Y, respectively, so that the water phase magnetization vector and the oil phase magnetization vector in the positive and negative directions of axis Y are turned to positive and negative directions of axis Z, respectively, and the specific turning direction is related to the application direction of the second 90° pulse. The detailed situations are described as follows.

Situation 1: currently, the water phase magnetization vector is in the negative direction of axis Y, and the oil phase magnetization vector is in the positive direction of axis Y; then a second 90° pulse is applied to the tight reservoir rock from the negative direction of axis Y to the negative direction of axis Z, i.e., the application direction of the second 90° pulse is opposite to that of the first 90° pulse, so that the water phase magnetization vector is turned to the negative direction of axis Z, and the oil phase magnetization vector is turned to the positive direction of axis Z, as shown in FIG. 9. Next, the water phase magnetization vector is recovered to the equilibrium state in the positive direction of axis Z. A second time duration is waited for in this time period, so that the water phase magnetization vector is located in axis Y in a process of recovery to the positive direction of axis Z, as shown in FIG. 10 or FIG. 11, wherein in FIG. 10, the water phase magnetization vector is located in the negative direction of axis Y in a process of recovery to the positive direction of axis Z; and in FIG. 11, the water phase magnetization vector is located in the positive direction of axis Y in a process of recovery to the positive direction of axis Z.

Situation 2: currently, the water phase magnetization vector is in the positive direction of axis Y, and the oil phase magnetization vector is in the negative direction of axis Y; then a second 90° pulse is applied to the tight reservoir rock from the positive direction of axis Y to the negative direction of axis Z, i.e., the application direction of the second 90° pulse is opposite to that of the first 90° pulse, so that the oil phase magnetization vector is turned upward to the positive direction of axis Z, and the water phase magnetization vector is turned downward to the negative direction of axis Z, as shown in FIG. 9. Next, the water phase magnetization vector is recovered to the equilibrium state in the positive direction of axis Z. A second time duration is waited for in this time period, so that the water phase magnetization vector is located in axis Y in a process of recovery to the positive direction of axis Z, as shown in FIG. 10 or FIG. 11.

It can be understood that in the above process, since the oil phase magnetization vector is in the positive direction of axis Z, and the direction of the initial magnetic field M0 is the same as the positive direction of axis Z, the oil phase magnetization vector already in the equilibrium state. Thus, within the second time duration between the applications of the second 90° pulse and the third 90° pulse, only the water phase magnetization vector is recovered to the equilibrium state of the positive direction of axis Z.

In one implementation of step 103 of the method for measuring the oil content of the tight reservoir, referring to FIG. 12, step 103 specifically comprises:

Step 103a: applying a third 90° pulse, so that the oil phase magnetization vector is turned from the direction of the initial magnetic field of the first axis to the second axis, and the water phase magnetization vector is turned from the second axis to the direction of the initial magnetic field of the first axis.

For example, if the direction of the initial magnetic field M0 is the same as the positive direction of axis Z, a third 90° pulse is applied to the tight reservoir rock when the oil phase magnetization vector is in the positive direction of axis Z and the water phase magnetization vector is in the positive and negative directions of axis Y, so that the water phase magnetization vector in the positive and negative directions of axis Y is turned to the positive direction of axis Z, and the specific turning direction is related to the application direction of the third 90° pulse. The detailed situations are described as follows.

Situation 1: currently, the water phase magnetization vector is in the negative direction of axis Y, then a third 90° pulse turned from the negative direction of axis Y to the positive direction of axis Z is applied to the tight reservoir rock, i.e., the application direction of the third 90° pulse is the same as that of the first 90° pulse. The water phase magnetization vector is located in the positive direction of axis Z and in an equilibrium state, and the oil phase magnetization vector is located in the positive direction of axis Y, as shown in FIG. 13.

Situation 2: currently, the water phase magnetization vector is in the positive direction of axis Y, then a third 90° pulse turned from the axis Y positive direction to the positive direction of axis Z is applied to the tight reservoir rock, i.e., the application direction of the third 90° pulse is opposite to that of the first 90° pulse. The water phase magnetization vector is located in the positive direction of axis Z and in an equilibrium state, and the oil phase magnetization vector is located in the negative direction of axis Y, as shown in FIG. 14.

Step 103b: applying a second gradient magnetic field to the tight reservoir rock for a third time duration, within a preset time period after the third 90° pulse is applied, so as to offset the first gradient magnetic field applied to the tight reservoir rock.

For example, if the direction of the initial magnetic field M0 is the same as the positive direction of axis Z, a second gradient magnetic field with the same intensity and the opposite direction of the first gradient magnetic field is applied to the tight reservoir rock for a third time duration, when the third 90° pulse is applied, the water phase magnetization vector is located in the positive direction of axis Z, and the oil phase magnetization vector is located in the negative-positive-negative directions of axis Y, so as to offset the first gradient magnetic field applied to the tight reservoir rock, thereby causing the oil phase magnetization vector to cut the magnetic induction line and generate an echo signal while being recovered to the equilibrium state in the positive direction of axis Z.

As can be seen from the above description, the method for measuring the oil content of the tight reservoir provided by the embodiments of the present invention adds a diffusion dimension on the basis of the relaxation dimension (the diffusion refers to an irregular thermal motion of molecules, i.e., Brownian motion; and the diffusion in nuclear magnetic resonance generally refers to a phenomenon in which oil/water molecules continuously and randomly change the motion directions and positions; a velocity of molecular diffusion is called as a diffusion coefficient, and the oil/water molecules have different diffusion coefficients; by applying certain conditions, a difference will be produced between the oil and water signals in terms of the diffusion dimension); by using the diffusion relaxation characteristics difference between the oil phase and the water phase in the tight reservoir rock, and by applying a gradient magnetic field, the water phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal is rapidly attenuated to zero by specific pulses and gradients, while the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal is retained; next, specific pulses and gradients are applied to recover the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal; since the influence of the water phase is excluded, the embodiments of the present application can achieve a collection of an oil nuclear magnetic resonance signal with the relaxation time T₂less than 6.7 ms, especially is 0.01 ms to 1 ms, so as to avoid the mutual influence between the short relaxation oil and water signals in the nanopores, and effectively detect the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal in the nanopores, thereby acquiring more accurate oil content of the tight reservoir rock, and avoiding the problem of a high measured value of the oil content due to the influence of the water phase.

In one implementation, step 300 of the method for measuring the oil content of the tight reservoir based on nuclear magnetic resonance in the embodiment of the present invention specifically comprises:

In one implementation, referring to FIG. 15, after steps A01 and A02, the method for measuring the oil content of the tight reservoir based on nuclear magnetic resonance in the embodiment of the present invention further specifically comprises:

the function of the judging process of steps A01 and A02 is to detect whether the execution of step 100 successfully separates the oil phase magnetization vector from the water phase magnetization vector, while offsetting the gradient magnetic field initially applied. If the type of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is not an echo signal, it can be determined that no echo signal is generated at present, and the reason may be that the first time duration, the second time duration, and the third time duration are not set accurately enough. Thus, it is necessary to adjust the three time values, and select to adjust one or more of them according to the actual measurement situation, specifically comprising:

step A03: if the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is not an echo signal, determining that the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is composed of a water phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal and an oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal;

step A04: adjusting at least one of a first time duration, a second time duration, and a third time duration;

and re-executing the pulse sequence and magnetic field application step based on at least one of the first time duration, the second time duration, and the third time duration having been adjusted.

As can be seen from the above description, the method for measuring the oil content of the tight reservoir provided by the embodiment of the present invention can further improve the reliability and accuracy of the measurement of the oil content of the tight reservoir.

In one implementation, referring to FIG. 16, a relationship curve in the method for measuring the oil content of the tight reservoir based on nuclear magnetic resonance in the embodiment of the present invention is pre-acquired in the following steps:

step 001: determining intensities of nuclear magnetic resonance signals and oil contents of a plurality of tight reservoir rocks with known oil contents;

step 002: linearly fitting the intensities of the nuclear magnetic resonance signals and the oil contents of the tight reservoir rocks, so as to acquire a relationship curve between the intensity of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal and the oil content.

It can be understood that the relationship curve includes: y=ax+b.

Wherein, y represents an intensity of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal; x represents an oil content; and a and b are constants.

Since the intensity of the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal is linearly related to the oil content, the relationship curve y=ax+b between the intensity of the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal and the oil content can be pre-acquired by linear fitting, wherein y represents an intensity of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal; x represents an oil content; and a and b are constants. Specifically, the intensities of the nuclear magnetic resonance signals and the oil contents of the plurality of tight reservoir rocks are determined at first; next, the intensities of the nuclear magnetic resonance signals and the oil contents of the tight reservoir rocks are linearly fitted with each other, so as to acquire a relationship curve between the intensity of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal and the oil content.

Thus, after an intensity of a nuclear magnetic resonance signal is acquired, it may be substituted into the relationship curve to acquire an oil content of a tight reservoir rock to be detected. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the oil percentage may also be calculated, or both the oil content and the oil percentage may be calculated.

For example, the used static magnetic field has an intensity of 0.2 T, the gradient magnetic field may use a gradient coil with a gradient of 0.6 T/m, the 90° pulse has a width of 6 us, τ=0.9 ms, and T=7 ms. As shown in FIG. 17, in this exemplary embodiment, the relationship curve between the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal and the oil content can be pre-acquired by fitting five artificial simulated samples with known oil contents through an equation:

y=49315*x+67.607 Equation 2

wherein, y represents an intensity of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal; x represents an oil content; 49315 is a slope; and 67.607 is an intercept. R is a correlation coefficient, which represents a degree of linear correlation between two sets of data, and the correlation is higher when R approaches 1. R²is a square of the correlation coefficient and has a function similar to that of the correlation coefficient.

Thus, by substituting the acquired oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal of each rock sample into the relationship curve y=49315*x+67.607, the oil content of each rock sample can be obtained correspondingly, as shown in the following Table 1:

When the tight reservoir rock contains different hydrogen, its amplitude M(t) can be expressed as:

$\begin{matrix} M (t) = \sum_{i} P_{i} \exp (- \frac{t}{T_{2 i}}) & Equation 3 \end{matrix}$

For example, when there are hydrogen protons in both the oil phase and the water phase in the tight reservoir rock, the amplitude M(t) can be expressed as:

$\begin{matrix} M (t) = P_{oil} \exp (- \frac{t}{T_{2 oil}}) + P_{water} \exp (- \frac{t}{T_{2 water}}) & Equation 4 \end{matrix}$

wherein, P_irepresents an amplitude of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal of each hydrogen component in the rock, and can be classified into oil and water phases, i.e., P_oiland P_water; t represents relaxation time in a unit of ms; and T_2oiland T_2waterrepresent transverse relaxation time of oil and water nuclear magnetic resonances, respectively, and they are constant values under particular conditions.

In one way, the PFG pulse sequence may be used to measure the oil content of the tight reservoir, with its control logic as shown in FIG. 18, and an echo amplitude of the applied PFG pulse sequence is expressed in the following equation:

$\begin{matrix} b_{ik} = \sum_{j = 1}^{m} \sum_{p = 1}^{n} f (D_{p}, T_{2 j}) \exp [- γ^{2} G_{k}^{2} δ^{2} (Δ - \frac{δ}{3}) D_{p}] \times \exp [- \frac{(i - 1) \cdot T_{E} + t_{0}}{T_{2 j}}] i = 1, 2, 3, \dots & Equation 5 \end{matrix}$

wherein, b_ikis a diffusion weight; m is the number of distribution points of the transverse relaxation time T2; n is the number of distribution points of a diffusion coefficient D; j is a serial number of the transverse relaxation time T2; p is a serial number of the diffusion coefficient D; f( ) is an amplitude; D_pis a diffusion coefficient; T_2jis a transverse relaxation time; γ is a gyromagnetic ratio; G_kis a diffusion gradient magnetic field intensity; δ is a diffusion gradient pulse time duration;

$(Δ - \frac{δ}{3})$

is a diffusion time; i is a serial number of an echo peak point; T_Eis a time during which the water phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal can be shielded.

As can be seen from equation 5, it needs sufficient gradient magnitude and application time to distinguish the oil and water signals. When D_p=2.5e^−9, G_k=50 guass/cm, and T_E=13.5 ms at that time (the real signal is: 0.00864, δ=4.5 ms). Theoretically, this sequence requires T_E=13.5 ms to completely shield the water phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal. However, T_Eis too large, and it is impossible to quickly obtain the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal with short relaxation time (i.e., small pores).

In an application example of the present application, the pulse sequence and the magnetic field application step is executed by using the pulse sequence. The control logic of the pulse sequence and the magnetic field application step is shown in FIG. 19, and the echo amplitude of the application of the pulse sequence in the present invention is expressed as follows:

$\begin{matrix} b_{ik} = \sum_{j = 1}^{m} \sum_{p = 1}^{n} \sum_{q = 1}^{s} f (T_{1 q}, D_{p}, T_{2 j}) \exp [- γ^{2} G_{k}^{2} δ^{2} (Δ - \frac{δ}{3}) D_{p}] \times \exp (- \frac{t_{1}}{T_{1 q}}) \exp [- \frac{(i - 1) \cdot T_{E} + t_{0}}{T_{2 j}}] i = 1, 2, 3, \dots & Equation 6 \end{matrix}$

wherein, b_ikis a diffusion weight; m is the number of distribution points of transverse relaxation time T2; n is the number of distribution points of a diffusion coefficient D; j is a serial number of the transverse relaxation time T2; p is a serial number of the diffusion coefficient D; s is the number of distribution points of longitudinal relaxation time T1; q is a serial number of the longitudinal relaxation time T1; f( ) is an amplitude; T_1qis longitudinal relaxation time; D_pis a diffusion coefficient; T_2jis transverse relaxation time; γ is a gyromagnetic ratio; G_kis a diffusion gradient magnetic field intensity; δ is a diffusion gradient pulse time duration;

$(Δ - \frac{δ}{3})$

is diffusion time; i is a serial number of an echo peak point; T_Eis a time during which the water phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal can be shielded; t₁is a longitudinal relaxation time window length; and t₀is a transverse relaxation time window length.

As can be seen from equation 6, by decreasing t₀and increasing t₁, the sampling start time is shortened as much as possible, and the short relaxation signal is retained. The large magnetic field gradient and application time (t₁) suppress the water signal, thereby enabling T_Eto be as short as 0.3 ms.

It is clear that in the method for measuring the oil content of the tight reservoir based on nuclear magnetic resonance in the embodiments of the present invention, the structure of the pulse sequence is one 90° pulse followed by two 90° pulses, as shown in FIG. 20. A free induction attenuation signal appears after the first 90° pulse, and an echo signal appears after the third 90° pulse. In general, the nuclear magnetic resonance signals of the tight reservoir rock only come from water and oil, and at that time, the FID signal is a sum of the signals of water and oil. As explained above, there is a difference at an order of magnitude between the diffusion coefficients of water and oil in the tight reservoir rock. Thus, after the diffusion of time T, a peak value of the first echo appearing after the third 90° pulse is the oil phase nuclear magnetic resonance signal.
