Abstract

Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals is impossible without sustainable oil and gas production, both in terms of ensuring equal access to cheap energy and preserving the environment, as well as caring for non-renewable fossil energy sources. This actualizes the need for the digital 3D modeling of wells, which allows one to assess their current condition and predict their future condition as well as determine the feasibility of investing in their reconstruction and the expansion of the well network. This is possible due to the fact that the visualization of a well, reflecting its physical and technical parameters, gives engineers, designers and ecologists the opportunity to recognize the defects of the well (cracks, cavities, behind casing and interlayer leaks, etc.) and predict their appearance and proliferation on which the service life, hydrocarbon flow rate, pollution, operating and capital costs directly depend. The software required for this must be versatile enough to cover different types of logging and fit different operating systems. The goal of the study is to develop a software for creating visual 3D models of wells based on acoustic and various types of radioactive logging data, capable of integrating drilling rig parameters and geophysical survey data with modern 3D modeling and programming methods. The developed software meets the requirements of various operating systems and the specifics of different types of logging, which is designed to help in increasing the productivity of oil and gas wells, save energy consumption and reduce groundwater pollution from chemicals used in hydrocarbon production. This is achievable by ensuring trouble-free execution and the operation of well systems, minimizing the risks of collapses and the destruction of well walls through accurate monitoring and forecasting their dynamic condition in real time using 3D models, which is not available for static 2D models.
