- Modern directional drilling systems generally employ a drill string having a bottomhole assembly (BHA) and a drill bit at end thereof that is rotated by a drill motor (mud motor) and/or the drill string.
- BHA bottomhole assembly
- mud motor drill motor
- a number of downhole devices placed in close proximity to the drill bit measure certain downhole operating parameters associated with the drill string.
- Such devices typically include sensors for measuring downhole temperature and pressure, azimuth and inclination measuring devices and sensors that measure the acceleration of the BHA in different directions and the bending moment.
- the latter data are used to characterize the drilling dynamics of the BHA, which depends on formation properties, the drill bit and the BHA configuration.
- LWD logging-while-drilling
- LWD Logging-while-drilling
- MWD Measurement- While-Drilling
- a resistivity measuring device is attached to determine the presence of hydrocarbons and water.
- An MWD set of tools is generally located in the lower portion of the drill string near the bit. The tools are either housed in a section of drill collar or formed so as to be compatible with the drill collar. It is desirable to provide information of the formation as close to the drill bit as is feasible.

- Drill collar section 42 preferably includes a number of tubular drill collar members which connect together, including a measurement-while-drilling (MWD) subassembly including a number of sensors and cooperating telemetry data transmission subassembly, which are collectively referred to hereinafter as "MWD system 46".
- MWD measurement-while-drilling
- the drill string 38 further includes a drill bit 56 adapted to disintegrate a geological formation and known components such as thrusters, mud motors, steering units, stabilizers and other such components for forming a wellbore through the subterranean formation 14.
- a drill bit 56 adapted to disintegrate a geological formation and known components such as thrusters, mud motors, steering units, stabilizers and other such components for forming a wellbore through the subterranean formation 14.
- Other related components and equipment of the system 20 are well known in the art and are not described in detail herein.
- the MWD system 46 includes sensors, circuitry and processing firmware and software and algorithms for providing information about desired dynamic drilling parameters relating to the BHA, drill string, the drill bit and downhole equipment such as a drilling motor, steering unit, thrusters, etc. (collectively, a bottomhole assembly or BHA).
- Exemplary sensors include, but are not limited to, drill bit sensors, an RPM sensor, a weight on bit sensor, sensors for measuring mud motor parameters (e.g., mud motor stator temperature, differential pressure across a mud motor, and fluid flow rate through a mud motor), and sensors for measuring acceleration, vibration, whirl, radial displacement, stick-slip, torque, shock, vibration, strain, stress, bending moment, bit bounce, axial thrust, friction, backward rotation, BHA buckling and radial thrust.
- Sensors distributed along the drill string can measure physical quantities such as drill string acceleration and strain, internal pressures in the drill string bore, external pressure in the annulus, vibration, temperature, electrical and magnetic field intensities inside the drill string, bore of the drill string, etc.
- Suitable systems for making dynamic downhole measurements include COPILOTTM, a downhole measurement system, manufactured by Baker Hughes Incorporated. Suitable systems are also discussed in “Downhole Diagnosis of Drilling Dynamics Data Provides New Level Drilling Process Control to Driller", SPE 49206, by G. Heisig and J.D. Macpherson, 1998.
- the MWD system 46 can include one or more downhole processors 70.
- the processor(s) 70 can include a microprocessor that uses a computer program implemented on a suitable machine readable medium that enables the processor to perform the control and processing.
- the machine readable medium may include ROMs, EPROMs, EAROMs, Flash Memories and Optical disks. Other equipment such as power and data buses, power supplies, and the like will be apparent to one skilled in the art.
- the MWD system 46 utilizes mud pulse telemetry to communicate data from a downhole location to the surface while drilling operations take place.
- a transducer 60 is provided in communication with mud supply line 54. This transducer generates electrical signals in response to drilling mud pressure variations.
- a surface conductor 62 preferably a data processing system with a central processing unit for executing program instructions, and for responding to user commands.
- the system can utilize the downhole processor 70 in conjunction with the surface processor 64.
- the downhole processor 70 can process the downhole measured data and transmit reduced data and/or signals indicative of the lithology being drilled to the surface.
- the surface processor 64 can process the surface measured data, along with the data transmitted from the downhole processor 70, to evaluate formation lithology.
- the MWD system 46 utilizes a telemetry system providing relatively high bandwidth; e.g. , conductive wires or cables provide in or along the drill string, radiofrequency (RF) or electromagnetic (EM)-based systems, or other systems.
- RF radiofrequency
- EM electromagnetic
- "raw" or unprocessed data in addition to or instead of processed data, can be transmitted to the surface processor 64 for processing.
- a downhole processor 70 may not be needed.
- the surface measurements are transmitted downhole and the downhole processor 70 processes the surface and downhole data. In this arrangement, only the downhole processor 70 is used to obtain lithological indications. It should therefore be appreciated that a number of arrangements can be used for the processor 205 of Fig. 2; e.g. , a surface processor that processes downhole and surface measurements, a downhole processor that processes downhole and surface measurements, and a surface and downhole processor that cooperatively process downhole and surface measurements.
- the system includes a processor or processors 205 that communicate with downhole and surface sensors.
- the downhole sensors include two types of sensors.
- the surface sensors include one or more sensors that can dynamically measure drilling parameters such as instantaneous torque, weight on bit, and RPM of the drill bit.
- drilling parameters such as instantaneous torque, weight on bit, and RPM of the drill bit.
- the steering force, equivalent circulation density (ECD), and near bit inclination are also considered drilling parameters.
- ECD equivalent circulation density
- dynamic measurements can provide greater details as to the behavior of a drill bit, drill string, or BHA during drilling.
- the processor 205 uses measurements of drilling dynamics 201.
- the processor also uses measurements of formation properties 203. These may include gamma-ray measurements, resistivity measurements, acoustic (sonic)measurements, neutron porosity measurements and/or bulk density measurements.
- gamma-ray measurements the sensor arrangement disclosed in US Patent publication 20100089645 of Trinh et al., having the same assignee as the present disclosure and the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, may be used.
- a drill bit that includes a bit body and a gamma ray sensor in the bit body.
- An advantage of this sensor arrangement is that gamma ray measurements indicative of formation lithology are made substantially simultaneously at the bit location.
- the use of the device of Trinh is not to be construed as a limitation and other arrangements may be used to provide gamma ray measurements.
- the sensor arrangement disclosed in US Patent 7,554,329 to Gorek et al. having the same assignee as the present disclosure and the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, may be used.
- the drillbit and the adjacent portion of the drill collar are used as a focusing electrode for focusing the measure current from a measure electrode on the face or side of the drillbit. This provides the ability to see ahead of and azimuthally around the drillbit.
- the use of the device of Gorek is not to be construed as a limitation and other arrangements may be used to provide gamma ray measurements.
- the device disclosed in US Patent 6,850,068 to Chemali et al. having the same assignee as the present application and the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, may be used.
- One embodiment of the disclosure uses, as an acoustic sensor, the quadmpole acoustic tool disclosed in US patent 6,859,168 of Tang et al., having the same assignee as the present disclosure and the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, may be used.
- the logging tool of this invention includes a transmitter conveyed on a drilling collar for exciting a quadmpole signal in a borehole being drilled by a drill bit and a receiver for receiving the signal.
- the transmitter is operated at a frequency below the cut-off frequency of the quadmpole collar mode.
- the received signal consists primarily of the formation quadmpole mode which, at low frequencies, has a velocity that approaches the formation shear velocity.
- the transmitter in one embodiment, consists of eight equal sectors of a piezoelectric cylinder mounted on the rim of the drilling collar. The value of the cut-off frequency is primarily dependent on the thickness of the drilling collar.
- the transmitter may be operated to produce both the collar mode and the formation mode and a processor may be used to filter out the collar mode.
- U.S. Patent 7,650,241 to Jogi et al. having the same assignee as the present disclosure and the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, teaches the determination of formation lithology using drilling dynamics measurements.
- the processor(s) 205 uses a database, the processor(s) 205 outputs an indication of the lithology, which can serve a number of purposes, such as optimizing or adjusting drilling parameters, issuing drilling alerts relating to faults, high-pressure zones, geosteering the BHA, etc.
- the lithology is identified 207. In particular, if the lithology sensors are able to see ahead of the sensor or even ahead of the drillbit, changes in lithology may be anticipated and drilling parameters may be adjusted 209.
- FIG. 3b an exemplary near bit resistivity measurement is shown.
- the resistivity curve 301 At the depth indicated by 305, there is a change in lithology as indicated by the resistivity curve 301.
- identification of the deflection of the resistivity curve from a baseline defined by measurements above the depth 305 is not an easy task.
- the device of Gorek would have greater sensitivity to an approaching bed boundary, particularly if the boundary is approached at an inclination and azimuthal measurements made during rotation are used.
- Formation evaluation measurements may or may not have a "look ahead" capability.
- the amount of look ahead determines the reference point of the sensor.
- FE measurements are sensitive to the rock volume close to their sensor.
- Drilling dynamics measurements relate to the dynamic state of the BHA. One important factor determining this state is the bit-rock interaction. Thus it can be said that drilling parameters are sensitive to the rock formation at the bit.
- measurements with a "look ahead” capability i.e. sensitive close to the bit or ahead of the bit, they may be combined with drilling dynamics measurements. This may be done by combining multiple measurements to derive a single (or multiple) indicators.
- formation evaluation measurements and drilling dynamics data combined may be used to determine a lithology indicator.
- Algorithms that may be used include deterministic inversion, neural networks, any statistical classification, multiple regression, etc.
- US Patent 7,193,414 to Kruspe having the same assignee as the present disclosure and the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, discloses the use of an expert system for using formation evaluation measurements for determination of formation lithology.
- the input to the expert system includes drilling dynamics measurements.
- the expert system described in Kruspe may be implemented as a neural net that has been trained and validated. The same methods may be used if FE sensors are used that are not sensitive at the bit. In this case the different data sources need to be depth-matched based on the time-depth assignment.
- FIG. 4 An exemplary method for combining a formation evaluation measurement and a drilling dynamic measurement is by using crossplots. Shown in Fig. 4 are crossplots of near-date resistivity (abscissa 401) against downhole torque (ordinate 403). The measurements in an earlier period are shown within the group 405 and are relatively stable. The more recent measurements 407 show a noticeable difference from the earlier measurements and are diagnostic of a lithology change. Identification of such a change in character can be made with more confidence using multiple measurements than with a single measurement as in Fig. 3.
- a clustering of the data is done. This may be a hierarchical clustering, such as that illustrated in Fig. 5. Each data sample represents drilling dynamics and formation evaluation measurements.
- each data sample is then linked into larger and larger clusters by using a measure of distance such as a Euclidean distance.
- distances between clusters are determined by the greatest distance between any two samples in two clusters. This method is appropriate when, as in this case, the samples naturally form distinct groups (e.g., Lithology A and Lithology B, or Continue drilling and Stop drilling).
- the choice of the particular method of clustering is not be construed as a limitation and other methods known in the art could be used.
- Another embodiment of the disclosure is directed towards using downhole drilling dynamics and formation evaluation data to test a strategy for using losses for fracture gradient calibration.
- the strategy includes the detection of losses, the identification of the zones where losses took place (thief zones), and the characterization of thief zones.
- Losses can result from initiating fractures in the borehole wall whenever the annular pressure exceeds the load the borehole wall can bear.
- the maximum load before fractures are initiated is the least principle near- field stress (which is re-distributed) around the borehole plus the tensile rock strength (which needs to be neglected when the borehole wall is damaged or if fractures already exist).
- Fig. 6 shows a plot 601 of the drilling depth (ordinate in the top plot) against time. Also shown are several resistivity logs, collectively denoted by 603, and the gamma ray log 605. The second plot shows the cumulative mud losses in the borehole 607 as a function of time and the third plot shows the ECD 609.
- the ECD is defined in the Schlumberger Oilfield Glossary as: The effective density exerted by a circulating fluid against the formation that takes into account the pressure drop in the annulus above the point being considered. Attention is drawn to the time intervals 611, 613 and the corresponding depth intervals 611', 613'.
- One objective in conducting drilling operations is to maintain the ECD below the load capacity of the borehole wall. This is done by adjusting the flow rate and / or the mud weight at the surface while, at the same time, avoiding a blowout of the well due to insufficient borehole pressure. Identification of zones of weakness plays an important role in this. Rapid identification of these zones will be facilitated by having the resistivity measurement at bit, at the the same time as the ECD information. In another setup, a change in the dynamic forces on the BHA is observed when drilling into the weak zone. This gives an additional indicator of the approaching zone.
- the shear velocity logs were not processed to specifically identify fractures.
- the quadrupole logging tool of Tang discussed above is used. It is well known in the art that the effect of aligned fractures in the subsurface is to produce a transverse isotropy in the velocity of propagation of shear waves. This can manifest itself in two ways. One is a variation in the velocity of propagation with the direction of propagation. The other is a splitting of shear waves into a "fast mode" and a "slow mode" depending upon the direction of polarization. Specifically, shear waves propagating with a polarization parallel to the fracture planes have a higher velocity than shear waves propagating with a polarization at right angles to the fracture planes.
- Fig. 7a shows a shot panel recorded with a quadrupole logging tool in a transversely isotropic medium.
- the transverse isotropy was due to layering and not due to fracturing, but the mathematics of the wave propagation is the same.
- Fig. 7b shows a result of a semblance analysis of the data of Fig. 7a in which a fast mode and a slow mode can clearly be seen.
- seismic sensors may be used to conduct a vertical seismic profile (VSP).
- VSP vertical seismic profile
- the VSP has a capability of looking ahead of the drillbit, and the VSP data may be processed using known methods to estimate shear velocities ahead of the drillbit. These shear velocities are diagnostic of fracturing in the formation. Shear velocities ahead of the drillbit may also be estimated using a method disclosed in US Patent Application Ser. No. 12/139,179 of Mathiszik et al., (US Patent Publication 2008/312839) having the same assignee as the present disclosure and the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- a downhole acoustic logging tool is used for generating a guided borehole wave that propagates into the formation as a body wave, reflects from an interface and is converted back into a guided borehole wave.
- Guided borehole waves resulting from reflection of the body wave are used to image a reflector.
- Fracturing of the formation may also be detected using commonly used imaging instruments, such as resistivity, nuclear and acoustic images of the borehole using known devices and methods.
- Estimates of the rock strength may be made using bulk density measurements and/or porosity measurements.
- the porosity measurements may be obtained using a nuclear source or by nuclear magnetic resonance measurements.
- Fig. 8 shown therein is lower end of a modular drilling assembly.
- the modular drilling motor is depicted by 801.
- a modular thread connection is indicated by 803.
- a modular gamma ray sensor is indicated by 805 and the steering unit is indicated by 807.
- This arrangement of the gamma ray sensor is only for exemplary purposes.
- the near-bit gamma ray sensor 805 may be run without a modular drilling motor 801.
- the gamma ray sensor may be closer to the drillbit, e.g., in the bit box 809.
- a natural-gamma ray detector suitable for high temperature using a wide band-gap photodiode has been disclosed in US Patent Application Ser. No. 12/694,993 of Nikitin et al., having the same assignee as the present disclosure and the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Fig. 9 shows another configuration of the lower end of the drilling assembly.
- a resistivity at bit sensor 904 is positioned just above the near-bit gamma ray module 805.
- the modular thread sub 803 is shown with the threads exposed.
- the location of the resistivity at bit sensor 904 relative to the near-bit gamma ray module 805 is not to be construed as a limitation.
- the senor 904 could be positioned below the gamma ray module 805.
- Figs. 9 may be used for making the gamma ray measurements and the resistivity measurements disclosed above and used for controlling drilling operations.
- the processing of the measurements made may be done by the surface processor 64, by a downhole processor, or at a remote location.
- the data acquisition may be controlled at least in part by the downhole electronics. Implicit in the control and processing of the data is the use of a computer program on a suitable machine readable-medium that enables the processors to perform the control and processing.
- the machine-readable medium may include ROMs, EPROMs, EEPROMs, flash memories and optical disks.
- the term processor is intended to include devices such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA).
