The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of the induction logging, and specifically relates to a logging method based on a time-domain electromagnetic tensor.
The induction logging method developed on the basis of the ground drilling has been widely used in the field of the oil and the gas exploration, and has played an important role in stratum correlation, calculation of stratum water saturation, and identification of oil, gas, and water layers. The dynamic range of the resistivity measured by the traditional induction logging is low due to the limitation by the levels of instruments and method, which causes that the vertical resolution is not high, and the identification for the thin interbedding of the sand-shale is not high, especially. This induction logging method is implemented in the frequency domain, after the operation frequency is selected, only the potential or the resistivity value for the layer where the corresponding measurement point is located can be obtained for each measurement.
In the field of the water prevention and control in coal mines, the hole-tunnel transient electromagnetic measurement method is developed with reference to the idea of ground-well transient electromagnetic method. In this method, the transmitting coil is arranged at the head of the tunnel, and a three-component probe is adopted in the horizontal borehole of the heading head to measure, and the detection area is divided into four quadrants based on the coil azimuth and the normal direction of the horizontal borehole, and the quadrant where the abnormal body is located is determined according to the measured result for the three-component magnetic field, so as to achieve the purpose of advanced detection.
The existing induction logging method is measured by the scalar, and only the single-component transmitting coil and receiving coil are existed. The transmitting coil transmits the primary field to the interior of the stratum, after the primary field is powered off, the induced secondary field generated by the underground medium is measured. This method can only obtain the component of one direction of the geological body for each measurement, and this component only contains one potential datum, and the tensor conductivity of the geological body cannot be obtained.
Technical objectives are as follows. In view of the above problems, a logging method based on time-domain electromagnetic tensor is provided in the present disclosure, which simultaneously receives the secondary field information in three component directions through exciting by the transmitting coils in different directions, can receive the induced potential sequence around the well-wall decaying with time and reflects the stratum information from near to far, and effectively identifies the anisotropy characteristics of the geological body.

The time-domain electromagnetic response is measured by the logging method based on the time-domain electromagnetic tensor described in the present disclosure. In this method, a time-domain electromagnetic field is excited by means of pairwise orthogonal transmitting coil system Tx, and secondary field signals are received by pairwise orthogonal receiving coil systems Rx located above transmitting coils with a distance of D. As illustrated in
Transmitting in three directions is adopted in present disclosure, which is capable of receiving nine component data at the same time, and each component is a series of induction potentials corresponding to the measurement time series one by one, which is capable of identifying the anisotropic characteristics of geological body more effectively. However, the existing methods can only obtain single-component data and data information in a single direction of the geological body, but cannot obtain the anisotropy information of the geological body. As illustrated in
In actual operations, the probe is rotated when it moves under the traction of the cable (since the instrument is pulled by one cable to move in the well, the instrument is rotated during the movement, in addition to the self-rotation of the instrument, the instrument is also inclined with the direction of the well), therefore, the stratigraphic coordinate system (x, y, z) and the instrument coordinate system (x′,y′,z′) are required to be set, as illustrated in
With respect to the stratum with N layers, the horizontal conductivity of each layer of the stratum is σhi, and the vertical conductivity of each layer of the stratum is σvi, where i=1,2,3, . . . ,N, the subscript h denotes the horizontal direction, and the subscript v denotes the vertical direction. The equivalent magnetic moments in three directions of the transmitting coils in the probe are Mx′, My′, Mz, and a relationship between the magnetic field intensities Hx′, Hy′, Hz′ received by the receiving coils in three directions of the probe and the equivalent magnetic moments is as follows:
where
therefore, the key to obtain the value for each component of the magnetic field intensity is to solve the Dyadic Green's function

At this point, the magnetic field intensity received by the receiving coil of the probe in the frequency-domain can be obtained, and the obtained frequency-domain magnetic field is converted into the time-domain magnetic field according to the conversion relationship between the time-domain electromagnetic field and the frequency domain electromagnetic field. The formula is as follows:
then, the induction voltage is obtained as follows:
where S denotes an area of the receiving coil, N denotes a number of the turns of the receiving coil, and μ0 denotes a magnetic permeability in vacuum.
Numerical example: the actual logging is the continuous measurement, in order to facilitate displaying the corresponding relationship between the measurement position and the induction potential curve, the continuous measurement is discretized into a plurality of measurement points.

It can be seen from the two numerical examples that in the logging based on the time-domain electromagnetic tensor, the multi-channel induction potential curve of each component corresponds well to the stratum electrical properties. Since the time from early to late corresponds to the distance from near to far, the multi-channel curve can reflect the change of stratum electrical properties around the borehole from near to far. The purpose of detecting the stratum more accurately is achieve through measuring the induction potential by the tensor.
