摘要

Understanding the spatial distribution of fluids in the near-borehole region caused by mud-filtrate invasion is necessary for the accurate petrophysical interpretation of wireline measurements acquired in deviated wells. This paper provides a sorely needed petrophysical and fluid-flow template that can be used to integrate several wireline measurements into a unique model of petrophysical parameters in the near-borehole region of deviated wells. We simulate numerically the physics of mud-filtrate invasion in vertical, horizontal, and highly deviated overbalanced wells. The numerical algorithm is adapted from a general 3D multiphase-fluid-flow simulator that is widely used in large-scale reservoir applications. Checks of numerical consistency and accuracy are performed against one commercial reservoir simulator. Emphasis is placed on describing the influence of mudcake buildup on the mud-filtration process. We approach the latter problem by introducing an effeetive-flow-rate function that describes the evolution in time of the rate of invasion of mud filtrate into rock formations. Parametric representations of the flow-rate function are derived on the basis of previously published laboratory experiments of mud circulation. A sensitivity analysis quantifies the influence of several geometrical and petrophysical parameters on the spatial distribution of mud-filtrate invasion away from the borehole wall. These parameters include relative permeability, capillary pressure, permeability anisotropy, dipping layers, and degree of hydraulic communication between adjacent layers. Our simulations reveal the character of invasion profiles in complex geometrical environments taking place under realistic petrophysical conditions. We show that standard pistonlike descriptions of mud-filtrate invasion, commonly used in well-log interpretation, can lead to inaccurate interpretations of wireline measurements. An example is presented of the use of our simulation technique by calculating the sensitivity of borehole electromagnetic induction measurements to specific conditions of mud-filtrate invasion in a vertical well.
