    摘要: A ranging workflow to interpret the ultradeep harmonic anisotropic attenuation (UHAA) measurements and estimate the distance and orientation of the existing cased well from the well being drilled is presented herein. The ranging workflow applies to scenarios in which the wells are near parallel to each other and performs reasonably well in boreholes which are more or less perpendicular to the formation layers. The ranging workflow generally includes deploying a deep directional resistivity (DDR) tool into a new wellbore; collecting UHAA data via the DDR tool; determining resistivity values based at least in part on the UHAA data; and determining a distance of the DDR tool from a casing of an existing wellbore proximate the new wellbore based at least in part on the resistivity values and a UHAA response table for the DDR tool.

    摘要: Methods for determining oil-water contact positions and water zone resistivities are provided. In one example, the method may involve performing a 1D inversion on data collected by a resistivity logging tool. Further, the method may involve scanning a resistivity profile of a reservoir generated by the 1D inversion for a boundary position below the resistivity logging tool. Furthermore, the method may involve applying a local residual weighted average on the boundary position to generate an initial estimation of an oil-water contact position and inverting the initial estimation of the oil-water contact to generate water zone resistivity and a modified oil-water contact position. Additionally, the method may involve running a smoothing local post-processing operation to generate a layered model and performing a 2D inversion on the layered model.
