ABSTRACT

Development of borehole geophysics has recently focused on reservoir characterization. Within this effort, extensive full waveform acoustic surveys have demonstrated a correlation between the occurance of open fractures and attenuation of Stoneley waves. A relationship is obtained here between fracture permeability and attenuation of Stoneley waves, on the basis of a physical mechanism. This mechanism involves an energy transfer under the form of a fluid flow inside permeable formations. It is applied to the cases of a single open fracture, a multi-fractured medium and a homogeneous porous medium. Theoretical results show the effects of frequency, borehole radius, permeability, fracture density and porosity on attenuation. The single fracture theory is applied to observed attenuation data due to isolated large open fractures: the theoretical fracture apertures obtained compare favorably to values determined from packer tests.

INTRODUCTION ( ( ( ( (

Borehole geophysics are being increasingly applied to reservoir characterization. In particular, full waveform acoustic logging surveys seem to be of great interest in identifying fractured zones in a reservoir. Such a technique could be very helpful in determining quantitatively the total permeability of a fractured hydrocarbon reservoir in carbonate formations, since it can be related to fracture permeability (Stearns and Friedman, 1969). In addition, applications can be found in other areas, such as mapping ground water flow for various purposes (Davisonetat., 1982).

Field experiments with full waveform acoustic logging tools show a good correlation between fractures in crystalline formations and Stoneley wave attenuation in those formations. Iso-offset sections from ELF AQUITAlNE's multi-offset tool E.V.A. show almost complete attenuation of P and S waves as well as partial attenuation of the Stoneley wave, opposite a portion of the formation where a· hydro-fracturing experiment was conducted (Figure 1, Arens and Arditty, 1982). Similar attenuation of the whole wave train, including Stone ley waves, was correlated with the occurance of fractures by means of a tele\"iewer log, on the Hi Vista well in Southern California, and a study (Moos and Zoback, 1983) focused on the P and S-wave velocities in such fractured crystalline rocks. Finally, an extensive survey in two well sites of Manitoba,

Canada, used full waveform logs, televiewer logs and hydrologic experiments to detect fractures in granite (Paillet, 1980; Davison etal., 1982). Figure 3 shows the correlation between fractures detected by a televiewer log and attenuation of the Stoneley wave at the corresponding depths.

In this paper, a model is derived which reiates the fracture permeability and the attenuation of Stoneley waves. The proposed mechanism attributes the Stoneley wave attenuation to fiuid fiow inside the formation and refiection at the fracture interface. The mechanism is first analyzed for an isoiated fracture and then extended to a homogeneously fractured medium. A variation of the theory is then used to model Stoneley wave attenuation in a porous medium. Subsequently, the effects of the· model parameters on the computed attenuation are discussed. Finally, theoretical fracture permeabllities are obtained from real data and compared to values obtained from packer tests in wells.

THEORETICAL DEVELOPMENT

The proposed mechanism for the attenuation of Stoneley waves involves the transfer of part of the Stoneley wave energy to a fiuid fiow in the permeable formation. Consider an incident Stone ley wave propagating along a borehole. A monochromatic Stoneley wave induces in the borehole fiuid a pressure variation (Cheng and Toksoz, 1981)

where 0) is the frequency, c the phase velocity of the Stone ley wave, k=0)/ c the vertical wavenumber, vp/ the P-wave velocity in the fiuid,

the horizontal

wavenumber and B a constant.

All calculations can be carried out for such a monochromatic wave, without loss of generality. The z-dependence of the Stoneley wave is similar to that of a compressional plane wave traveling along the z-axis. The wave train has a succession of alternating compressions and dilatations. Each compression provokes a pressure buildup at the interface between borehole and formation. Therefore, when a compression phase encounters the permeable formation, be it a single isolated fracture, a series of fractures in a "fractured medium", or a porous medium, the pressure gradient at the interface forces the fiuid to diffuse into the fracture (Figure 4). Hence, part of the Stoneley wave energy is lost, resulting in its attenuation. The effect of the Stone ley wave propagating "ithin the formation can be neglected in the case of "hard" formations because

Theory for isolated fractures

Mathieu andToksoz

The simplest case of an isolated fracture intersecting a vertical borehole of radius R is considered first. The fracture is modeled by a plane horizontal fiuid layer of width L surrounded by an impervious "hard" formation, such as compact limestone or granite (Figure 5a). L is small in comparison to the wavelength of the Stoneley wave and the fracture length is long enough to be considered as infinite within the theory. The fiuid in the fracture and the borehole is in equilibrium under hydrostatic pressure before the Stoneley wave arrival.

When a compression phase of the Stoneley wave hits the fracture, fiuid is forced into the fracture. It is assumed that the diffusion process inside the fracture is over before the start of the dilatation phase, so that a similar but reversed mechanism can occur at the next half-period T/2. A good approximate solution for the diffused pressure (AppendiX A(!), Figure 6) is given by ( ( where [(T-R)](4bt)* (3) and (4) (5)

The attenuation is defined by

The fracture width L is an adequate parameter for the case of a single fracture. However the otl'sets of full waveform acoustic logging tools generally do not make It possible to isolate a single fracture and they integrate the etl'ects of several fractures in the overall attenuation. Therefore, the permeability K is substituted for L as the parameter describing a fractured medium of thickness H, made of a density d of even and regularly spaced fractures (Figure 5b, Appendix A(li)). The fracture pressure is still given by equation (3) but in terms ofK and d. Its coefficient b is such that

It is reasonable to assume that Stoneley waves can be attenuated along any kind of porous medium. In such a general porous medium, the flow properties are governing its permeability K and its porosity 'fJ. Darcy's law and the continUity equation, respectively, take both into account. In the case of fractures, these equations are connected by a relation between K and the width

L of a single fracture, in other words by means of an implicit porosity model, in which all the tluid is contained Within parallel planes. Here, the porosity is an external parameter, in the same sense as the fracture density discussed in the previous section, and is the interconnected porosity.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

235

The theoretical attenuations just derived depend on three subsets of parameters: formation and fluid parameters, frequency and borehole radius, and flow parameters of the medium (permeability and porosity).

Formation parameters only appear through the period equation of the Stone ley wave. They have little effect on the attenuation, as the Stone ley wave is only slightly dispersive. Fluid parameters do not change as much as formation parameters. Therefore. only the second and third subsets of parameters are likely to have a major effect on attenuation.

The results presented in this section are divided into three parts. First, the frequency and borehole radiUS effects on attenuation are shown. Second, the effects of permeability and porosity are evaluated and the possibility that the two parameters are correlated is discussed. Finally, some permeabilities (fracture widths) obtained from packer tests on isolated fractures are compared with permeabilities determined from full waveform data, using the present theory.

The etlect of frequency and borehole radius variations on attenuation.

The usual frequencies of full waveform acoustic logging tools range between 1 and 40 Khz. For example, peak frequency of Stoneley waves recorded by ELF AQUlTAINE's tool E.V.A. is about 6 kHz, while that of the U.S.G.S. tool is 34 kHz. Figures 6-10 show that attenuation increases slightly with increasing frequency. This is valid for isolated fractures of different widths (Figure 9) as well as for porous media of different permeabilities (Figure 10). Such low dispersion implies that attenuation will be very similar over a narrow enough frequency spectrum. Therefore, the best way to invert attenuation of a real signal for permeabUity is to calculate the theoretical attenuation for the central frequency of the Stoneley wave.

Variation in the borehole radius R affects attenuation in a much more drastic way. The phase velocity is only slightly affected by a change of R. However, the coefficients Jo(fR)/ J,(fR) and 1/2R in equations (6), (10) and (16) control the R dependence of attenuation. The predominant factor is 1/2R. Figure 11 shows that in boreholes with smaller radii the observed attenuation are greater.

The etlect of permeability and porosity variations on attenuation.

Figures 12 and 13 show how the attenuations in the thinly fractured medium and the porous medium approaches depend on fracture density and porosity, respectively. A greater porosity and a greater permeability produce a greater attenuation (Figure 13). This result supports intuition and agrees with the observations of Staal and Robinson (1977) and with the results of Rosenbaum's theory (Rosenbaum, 1974). It may not be obvious intuitively, however, that, for a given permeability, many fractures of a lesser width produce more attenuation than fewer fractures of a greater width (Figure 12).

(8)

236 Mathieu and Toksoz

However, this is evident from equation (12), where nX=hdXonly involves d1/3in the coefficient 2/11"(0;/b)!!.

In the case of a fractured zone, the dependency between porosity and permeability is implicit in the model of parallel plates (Figure 5b). As porosity is defined as an external parameter in the porous medium theory, an "a-priori" dependence on permeability is not assumed. However, the two parameters are generally dependent. The curves of Figure 13 are calculated without introducing porosity-permeability dependence.

It would be gratifying to link the two approaches in a model applicable to both. The parallel plates model, as a specific porous medium, may be such a model. However, the boundary conditions are different in that refiected waves are only considered in the fractured medium model, a porous medium being too smooth to generate them. Therefore, no comparison can be made between the two approaches, and they should be tested separately on real data. According to the lithology porous sandstones are likely to adapt well to the porous medium theory, whereas fractured carbonates or crystalline rocks will be better handled with the single fracture or the fracture density theory.

Determination of fracture apertures from observed attenuation data and comparison with packer test results.

Figure 3 showed good correlation between Stoneley wave attenuation and open fractures, as evidenced by a televiewer log. This subset of data belongs to a fairly exhaustive survey made in Canada for the purpose of nuclear waste storage in granite (Paillet, 1980; Davison etal., 1982). Hydrologic tests were used in addition to borehole geophysics logs. Some packer tests designed to straddle Single, open fractures evidenced by cores and televiewer logs, are available jointly with Stone ley wave attenuation values on the same fractures.

The Stoneley wave energy attenuation As (Paillet, 1980) is first transformed into an amplitude attenuationAA by means of

Fracture widths are then obtained from an attenuation versus fracture width plot (Figure 14). Physical parameters reqUired to model the attenuation from equation (8) are listed in Table 1. Spectral analysis (Paillet, 1980) yielded a central frequency of 34 Khz for the Stone ley wave. Attenuation is computed here on the basis of this value.

Similarly, fracture apertures were estimated from fiuid-injection tests, using a single fracture model (Davison etal., 1982). Results of the comparison between the two estimates are listedin Table 2, including the relative deviation

bL / Lp of the acoustic estimate L.. versus the packer test estimateLp .

Obviously, some limiting factors have to be considered before interpreting the results. First, the depth of penetration of the fiows are very dissimilar (10 to . 100 meters in the case of fluid-injection tests, much less than 1 meter in the

(9)

case of a diffused wave). Second, the nature of the flow is different (steady injection in the first case, high frequency steady-state flow in the second case), and permeabilities are unlikely to be the same for such different flow conditions.

In the theoretical developments, three simpliflcations were made: 1) there are no obstructions in the fractures to laminar flow (I.e., no turbulence, irregular walls or loose particles); 2) the "return flow" from formation into the borehole is small and does not contribute to the energy of the Stoneley waves; and 3) there is no diffraction (scattering) of acoustic energy into other wave modes. The flrst condition biases the theoretical results towards lower fracture densities for given permeabilities. However, it does not affect the overall permeability value for a given observed attenuation. The second condition implies that we assume the maximum attenuation for a given permeability. Thus theoretical permeability calculated from attenuation may be lower than the actual value. The third assumption means that we ignore attenuation due to elastic scattering (as shown in Fig. 1) and attribute all attenuation to permeability. thus we introduce a bias towards greater permeability.

Given these limitations the comparisons between the packer test results and computed permeab1lity based on our theory are extremely good except for case 5 at depth 424 m and case 6 at depth 468 m (Table 2). These two discrepancies are most likely due to possible changes in fracture properties away from the borehole.

On the whole, however, Table 2 shows very good agreement between both approaches for obtaining in-situ permeability due to large fractures. The packer test might be more flexible for determining the permeability due to extended fractures, because of its larger and variable depth of penetration. On the other hand. a borehc>le survey gives fast and very early results in the history of a well, and is relatively inexpensive. Therefore, permeability detection from acoustic surveys could add much value to the full waveform acoustic logging method.

More work is necessary to improve and test the preselit theory. The effect of dipping fractures with respect to the borehole is currently bein~

investigated. However, fractures intersecting at high angles (greater than 70 ) introduce additional complication and therefore can't be considered within the theory (Paillet, 1980). Additional measurables such as attenuation of P waves could add additional constraints to permeability determination. Finally, the diffraction mechanism could .be dealt with in a finite element scheme, taking into account Stone ley waves in the formation as well as in the borehole fluid. This approach might yield better results for thin fractures.

CONCLUSION

Good correlation between the occurance of open fractures in crystalline formations and the attenuation of Stoneley waves led to the belief that a physical mechanism could attenuate the amplitude of the Stoneley wave. The core of the theory involves an irreversible energy transfer from the Stone ley wave into the fracture fluid. Research aimed at building a theory on the basis of

(10)

(

this mechanism was motivated by its potential application to permeability detection in a fractured reservoir. In the process of designing a theory that could account for the attenuation of the Stoneley wave amplitude in fractured media, another theory was set up to describe a similar process in the case of a porous medium.

An extensive borehole survey in Canadian crystalline fractured formations (Davison etal., 1982) provided a basis to test the single fracture theory. From real attenuation data, theoretical apertures of large open fractures were obtained, with all other parameters fixed by the survey conditions. Those values compare very favorably to apertures deduced from packer tests designed to straddle the same fractures. The theory could therefore be of great help in giVing an estimate of permeability in fractured reservoirs, or checking the effectiveness of hydrofracturing experiments, rapidly and at a low cost.
