Popis: In recent years, in the process of oil and gas exploration and development, the situation of drilling tools drilling out of the reservoir often occurs. Due to the lack of directional indication, the traditional LWD(Logging While Drilling) natural gamma measurement technology cannot guide drilling tools to return to the reservoir efficiently. In order to solve this problem, this paper improves the traditional radiometric gamma measurement technology and establishes a set of azimuth gamma imaging model. Firstly, the basic imaging model is established based on HSI (Hue, Saturation, Intensity) color space. Then, the study focuses on the design of the gamma data quality control algorithm, which can effectively suppress the original gamma data noise. In addition, the cubic spline interpolation algorithm is selected to support the model to obtain 360° omni-directional gamma data. Finally, the image processing technology based on fast grayscale grouping is applied in this study, which greatly improves the imaging effect. Field application shows that the model runs stably on site, and the azimuth gamma image is well indicative. It can monitor the relative position relationship between the borehole trajectory and the formation, which effectively improves the reservoir encounter rate, and has high application and promotion value.
