The geological conditions of shallow offshore delta oil reservoirs are complex. Under the condition of less well data and larger well spacing, the traditional reservoir configuration method is difficult to solve the detailed study of such reservoirs in offshore oil fields. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the seismic phase, data of well log. The paper identifies criteria of the quaternary configuration boundary in shallow water delta of different types with distributary sand dam is established. At the same time, this paper used sensitive factor to construct the edge detection operator based on the amplitude attribute, characterizing the boundary of sand body thickness mutation or physical property mutation quantitatively, realizing the quantitative characterization of four-stage configuration boundary in the region with no wells or few wells, guiding the efficient development of offshore shallow water delta oilfield, and realizing the increase of storage and production of Bohai oilfield.

Evaluation of Hydrocarbon Reservoir in the “SIMA” Field of Niger Delta Nigeria from Interpretation of 3D Seismic and Petrophysical Log Data

3D seismic and petrophysical log data interpretation of reservoir sands in “SIMA” Field, onshore Niger Delta has been undertaken in this study to ascertain the reservoir characteristics in terms of favourable structural and petrophysical parameters suitable for hydrocarbon accumulation and entrapment in the field. Horizon and fault interpretation were carried out for subsurface structural delineation. In all, seven faults (five normal and two listric faults) were mapped in the seismic section. These faults were major structure building faults corresponding to the growth and antithetic faults in the area within the well control. The antithetic fault trending northwest-southeast and the normal fault trending northeast-southwest on the structural high in the section act as good trapping mechanisms for hydrocarbon accumulations in the reservoir. From the manual and auto-tracking methods applied, several horizons were identified and mapped. The section is characterized by high amplitude with moderate-to-good continuity reflections appearing parallel to sub-parallel, mostly disturbed by some truncations which are more fault related than lithologic heterogeneity. The southwestern part is, however, characterized by low-to-high or variable amplitude reflections with poor-to-low continuity. Normal faults linked to roll-over anticlines were identified. Some fault truncations were observed due to lithologic heterogeneity. The combination of these faults acts as good traps for hydrocarbon accumulations in the reservoir. Reservoir favourable petrophysical qualities, having average NTG, porosity, permeability and water saturation of 5 m, 0.20423, 1128.219 kD and 0.458 respectively.

Integrated Modelling and Reservoir Characterization of Ataga Field, Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria

Integrated modelling, well correlation and petrophysical analysis were performed to characterize the reservoirs for optimum hydrocarbon correlation using 3-D seismic reflection data and suites of well logs from Ataga 5, 7, 10 and 11 wells respectively in Ataga field, shallow offshore, Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria. The study revealed the presence of two viable hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs, AT1 and AT2 and the average values of porosity, permeability, water saturation, hydrocarbon saturation, Net to Gross (NTG) and volume of shale are in the ranges of 15% - 77%, 44.5% - 75.5%, 25.5% - 85%, 15% - 75.5%, 0.70 - 0.88 and 0.11 - 0.38 respectively which goes further to show that the both reservoirs have fair characteristics that are suggestive of the presence of hydrocarbon accumulation. It can therefore be deduced that the permeability values are reflective of fair interconnectivity of pore spaces of sands within the well areas and their ability to transmit fluids, the depth and depth structural map generated for the horizons and structures shows that the most dominant trapping mechanism in the area under study is the crescentic growth fault and the rollover anticlines trending in the Northwest-Southeast direction and from the volumetric analysis. It can be deduced that the recoverable gas for AT1 and AT2 reservoirs is 2 × 106 mscf and 6 × 106 mscf respectively.

Study on the Fine Configuration of Reservoir in River Facies Oilfield in Bohai Sea Area

The geological conditions of offshore shallow water delta oil reservoirs were complex, with limited well data and large well spacing. Taking A Oilfield in the Bohai Sea Area, China as an example, the target sand body was formed in a shallow water delta sedimentary environment, with well-developed underwater distributary channels and frequent branching and diversion. The reservoir was strong non-uniformity and uneven plane water cut pressure. To this end, based on the existing work of predecessors, combined with seismic, logging, and production dynamics data, and based on the genesis mechanism of shallow water delta reservoirs, the boundary of composite river channels was identified through seismic facies, and logging facies were used to subdivide them into single river levels within the composite river channels. Then, seismic waveform characteristics were applied to track and characterize the plane distribution of single river channels, guiding the efficient development of offshore shallow water delta oil fields and achieving increased storage and production in Bohai Oilfield, China.

A New Understanding of Channel Patterns and Facies Models of the Shallow Lake Delta Facies of Fuyu Oil Reservoir in Songliao Basin,China

In the Fuyu Reservoir of Songliao Basin, there occur a series of well-developed peculiar shallow lake delta facies, which can be divided to such three ones as the upper delta plain subfacies, the lower delta plain subfacies, and the delta front subfacies. Among them the upper delta plain subfacies mainly grows proximal distributary channels; the lower delta plain subfacies mainly grows distal ones. The entire Fuyu Reservoir has mainly developed 7 kinds of distributary channel patterns： proximal/ distal meandering type distributary channels, proximal/distal low-sinuosity type distributary channels, proximal/distal straight type distributary channels, and subaqueous distributary channels. Among these patterns, the proximal and distal meandering type distributary channels have bigger thickness of point bar and better sorting and low content of mud; moreover, they are the major reservoirs and occur in the bottom of Quan-4th member. The sandbars of the subaqueous distributary channels have higher mud content, and serve as the poorer reservoirs, and mainly occur in the top of Quan-4th member.

Effects of water level fluctuation on sedimentary characteristics and reservoir architecture of a lake, river dominated delta

The hydrodynamic conditions present in a river delta's formation are a highly important factor in the variation between its sedimentary regulation and characteristics. In the case of the lacustrine basin river-dominated delta, water level fluctuations and fluviation, are both important controlling factors of the sedimentary characteristics and reservoir architecture. To discuss the effects of water level fluctuation on sediment characteristics and reservoir architecture of this delta, the Fangniugou section in the east of the Songliao Basin was selected for study. Based on an outcrop investigation of the lacustrine basin river-dominated delta, combining with an analysis of the major and trace chemical elements in the sediments to determine the relative water depth, through architecture bounding surfaces and lithofacies division, sedimentary microfacies recognition and architectural element research, this work illustrated the effects of water level fluctuation on the reservoir architecture and established sedimentary models for the lacustrine basin river-dominated delta under various water level conditions. The results show that there are 8 lithofacies in the Fangniugou section. The fan delta front, which is the main object of this study, develops four sedimentary microfacies that include the underwater distributary channel, river mouth bar, sheet sand and interdistributary bay. The effects of water level fluctuation on different orders geographic architecture elements are respectively reflected in the vertical combination of the composite sand bodies, the plane combination of the single sand bodies, the particle size changes in the vertical of hyperplasia in the single sand body, the coset and lamina. In the case of the sand body development of the petroliferous basin, varying water level conditions and research locations resulted in significant variation in the distribution and combination of the sand bodies in the lacustrine basin.

Paleogeomorphic Influence on Facies Characteristics of Braided Delta and Reservoir Prediction—An Example from L oilfield in Bohai Bay Basin

Five wells of L oilfield in Bohai bay basin have drilled 10 - 15 meters thick oil layer in the Paleogene delta. Due to the deep-buried reservoir and the poor seismic performance, it is difficult to identify the reservoir genesis, and predict reservoir distribution. By analyzing core, well logging and seismic data, a stable mudstone section is selected as the correlation marker to establish a stratigraphic framework. The paleogeomorphology is reconstructed after decompaction correction and paleobathymetric analysis. Based on the differences of paleotopography and sedimentary facies, the study area mainly develops two delta systems: low gradient coarse-grain delta system and steep gradient delta-turbidite system. The favorable reservoir of low gradient coarse-grain delta, which is thick and has good lateral connectivity, mainly locates in the delta front. The favorable reservoir of steep gradient delta-turbidite system locates in the delta front and turbidite facies, and the delta front deposits are thin and have poor lateral connectivity. The boundary of delta front is first depicted on the basis of paleotopography. In combination with reservoir architecture and forward modeling analysis, the seismic attribute is then optimized to predict the distribution of favorable reservoir. Using this method, several sets of oil-bearing sandbodies have been drilled in L oilfield, and the prediction accuracy of reservoir distribution is proved to be high. This study demonstrates that the paleogeomorphology plays an important role in controlling the genesis and distribution of the delta reservoir and provides reference for the reservoir prediction in similar oilfields.

Seismic Imaging and Reservoir Architecture of Sub-Marine Channel Systems Offshore West Nile Delta of Egypt

Offshore Nile Delta gas reservoirs are dominated by slope-channel systems of Plio-Pleistocene age. High-quality, three-dimensional seismic imaging has significantly helped in defining the geomorphology and architectures of these channels. Integrating seismic, logs and core data from four wells resulted in understanding of different stages of channel development and reservoir quality. The studied reservoirs that are largely controlled by episodes of transgressive-regressive events resulted in deposition of fine grained sediment and shale. Sienna channel complex consists of unconfined channel system with clearly defined development stages. The stages include amalgamated or stacked channels followed by channel abandonment phases and local flooding events. The depositional pattern continued through the Late Pliocene-Pleistocene. SimSat-P1 and SimSat-P2 reservoirs are characterized by isolated sand bodies, most probably relics of fan depositional setting. The depositional scenario that is largely controlled by successive transgression and flooding events resulted in deposition of interbedded, sheet-like, fine grained sediment and shale.

Hydrocarbon Prospectivity and Risk Assessment of “Bob” Field Central Swamp Depobelt, Onshore Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria

This paper evaluates the hydrocarbon prospectivity and play risks of “Bob” field in Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria. The aim is to enhance exploration success through improved approach/technique by incorporating risk analysis that previous studies have not fully considered. This approach combines a set of analyses including stratigraphic/structural, amplitude, petrophysical parameter, volumetric and play risk using a suite of well logs and 3D seismic data. Maximum amplitude anomaly map extracted on the surfaces of delineated 3 reservoirs revealed 6 prospects, namely: Dippers, Cranes, Turacos, Nicators, Jacanas and Pelicans with hydrocarbon accumulation. Petrophysical analysis showed ranges of values for porosity, permeability and water saturation of 0.21 to 0.23, 158.96 to 882.39 mD, and 0.07 to 0.11, respectively. The various prospects yielded the following stock tank volumes 12.73, 6.84, 3.84, 11.32, 7.42 and 4.76 Million barrels (Mbls) each respectively in a column of 66 ft reservoir sand in the study area. Play risk analysis results gave: Pelicans and Nicators (low), Turacos and Dippers (moderate), while Jacanas and Cranes show high risk with minimal promise for good oil accumulation. The prospects possess good reservoir petrophysical properties with low to moderate risk, thus, viable for commercial hydrocarbon production, which increases confidence in management decisions for production.

Genesis of Micro Evolution and the Remaining Oil in the Reservoir

Due to the continuous water percolation and soaking during development of the oilfields, the dynamic balance of a reservoir is altered by the fluid; and the rock framework, pores and throats will be reformed and destroyed. The interaction between the fluid and the rock leads to a series of micro geological processes, such as clastation, denudation, dissolution and deposition, in the small spaces connected by pores or throats, which control the accumulation and distribution of the remaining oil. These micro geological processes are the essential factors for the evolution of the reservoirs during development. This evolution makes the recovery of the remaining oil more complex.

珠三角重要水库型饮用水源地土地利用变化对水质的联动影响

文章以珠三角地区大中型水库水源地作为重点研究区,探讨珠三角水库饮用水源地土地利用变化对水库水质影响的贡献和趋势,分析了珠三角地区水库型水源地近40年(1980—2020年)的土地利用变化,基于灰色关联分析辨识区域尺度上土地利用变化特征与水质等级的影响关系,然后选取珠澳供水系统中的大镜山水库为典型区,结合冗余分析及相关分析法,探讨流域尺度近20年的土地利用与水库水质指标变化作用关系,结果表明:1)研究区土地利用主要变化为建设用地及水域面积扩张,水田、旱地、林地面积减少。土地利用转移趋势主要为林地及耕地向生产生活用地转移,随着政策实施,上述土地利用转化过程有所放缓。2)区域上看,研究区非点源污染风险源虽逐渐减少,但至2020年仍占总土地利用的9.48%,土地利用格局调整和管理措施提升仍有一定空间。土地利用变化与水质存在明显相关性,根据相关性的强弱排序为:建设用地>农用地>林地,土地利用造成的面源污染仍是重要影响因素。3)大镜山水库水质存在多个月份总氮超标现象严重,氮磷污染逐渐上升,总氮和总磷为当前大镜山水体的主要污染物。大镜山水库各土地利用类型与水质指标呈现相关性,林地与氮磷水质指标整体呈显著负相关,建设用地、农用地呈显著正相关,同时调水对水库TN浓度具有正向影响。虽然不同流域的水质影响因素有变化,但流域土地利用格局配置对非点源污染的影响仍是不受控的因素之一,需进一步加强对其作用机制的认识,后续可通过模型模拟来研究供水水质影响机制,通过优化土地利用结构提升其水质净化生态服务功能,进而改善水库水质。
