研究目的
To evaluate the feasibility of DAS-VSP at deep and deviated wells as a future monitoring tool, specifically focusing on the operational and geophysical feasibility of CT-DAS-VSP for subsurface imaging.
研究成果
The study demonstrated the feasibility of DAS-VSP for subsurface imaging and monitoring in deep and deviated wells using the inside coiled tubing method. The imaging results were of sufficiently high quality, comparable to synthetic well seismograms and 2D surface seismic data. The possibility of acquiring DAS-VSP data under flowing conditions without stopping production or injection was also proven, suggesting an additional strategy for future monitoring.
研究不足
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the raw shot gather was low due to poor coupling between the fibre optic cable and the subsurface formation and the existence of considerable tubewave noise. The one-component measurements of DAS presented challenges in separating P- and S-waves for subsurface imaging.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A 2D walkaway vertical seismic profiling (VSP) survey using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) was conducted. The inside coiled tubing method was adopted for deploying the fibre optic cable.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The survey was conducted at an onshore site in Japan with an observation well having a maximum depth of more than 4,000 m and a deviation of 81 degrees.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Fibre optic cable deployed inside coiled tubing, vibroseis trucks for source generation, and Schlumberger’s 'heterodyne Distributed Vibration Sensing' system for DAS recording.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The survey involved vertical stacking of sweeps, tubewave noise suppression, and moveout correction using 2D ray tracing for data processing.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data quality was evaluated based on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvements after processing steps such as vertical stacking and tubewave noise suppression.
