Logging Evaluation of the Ordovician Carbonate Reservoir Beds in the Lungudong Region,Tarim Basin

In recent years, great progress has been made constantly in oil and gas exploration in the Lungudong region of the Tarim Basin. However, progress has been slow in the evaluation of its main oil-producing horizons -- the Ordovician carbonate reservoir beds. Based on previous researches and on the various data such as drilling, geology and oil test, in combination with the interpretation of each single-well imaging and conventional logging data, and through analysis and comparison, the identification methods in imaging and conventional logging for four types of carbonate reservoir beds in this region are summarized in this paper. Calculation formulas for four reservoir bed parameters, i. e. shale content, porosity, permeability and oil saturation in this region are proposed; and reservoir beds in this region are divided into three levels （Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ） by combining oil test data and logging data, The lower limits of the effective porosity of reservoir beds and the fracture porosity of effective reservoir beds are determined as 1.8% and 0.04%, respectively. The physical property parameters are calculated by conventional logging curves, and the most advantageous areas for reservoir development are predicted comprehensively. On the plane, the high-value zones of reservoir bed parameters are mainly concentrated in the N-S-trending strike-slip fault, the Sangtamu fault horst zone and near the LG38 well area; vertically, the reservoir bed parameters of the Yijianfang Formation are better than those of the Yingshan and Lianglitage formations.

Research on reservoir bed heterogeneity,interlayers and seal layers and controlling factors of 2+3 sands of upper second member,Shahejie Formation,in the west of the Pucheng Oilfield

Terminal fans have formed the sedimentary system of the 2＋3 sands of the upper second member, Shahejie formation in the west of the Pucheng Oilfield, Bohai Bay Basin, East China. Based on well logging data and physical properties of the reservoir beds, the 2＋3 sands were divided into 16 sublayers. The heterogeneity of reservoir beds and distribution of interlayers and seal layers in the 2＋3 sands were investigated. The intra-layer heterogeneity and inter-layer heterogeneity primarily belong to the severely heterogeneous classification. The spatial differentiation of sedimentary microfacies resulted in a change of reservoir bed heterogeneity, strong in the middle and southern parts, weak in the northern part. Spatial distribution of interlayers and seal layers is dominated by sedimentary microfacies, and they are thick in north-eastern and middle parts, thin in the south-western part.

Sedimentary Micro-facies and Macro Heterogeneity of Reservoir Beds in the Third Member of the Qingshankou Formation,Qian'an Area,Songliao Basin

An analysis of drill cores and well logs shows that the main micro-facies of the third member sand bodies of the Qingshankou Formation in Qian＇an are subaqueous distributary channel facies, sheet sand facies and subaqueous fan facies （olistostrome）. Maps showing the distribution of these micro-facies together with inter-channel bay and prodelta mocro-facies are presented for different time-slices （lower, middle and upper parts of the Qingshankou Formation）. These maps reveal the instability and change of sediment transport in the Baokang sedimentary system during the depositional period. Sediment transport was from the west in the early stage, from the south in the middle stage and from the northwest in the late stage. Values of thickness, porosity and permeability of the sand bodies in the third member of the Qingshankou Formation show that they have low to medium porosity and low permeability, and are characterized by serious reservoir heterogeneity. The joints between micro-facies and subaqueous fan micro-facies are characterized by the highest heterogeneity, the sheet sand and distal sand bar subfacies come next, and the heterogeneity of the subaqueous distributary channel sand bodies is relatively weak.

Application of Spectral Decomposition to Detection of Fracture-Cavity Carbonate Reservoir Beds in the Tahe OUfield,Tarim Basin,NW China

Ordovician fracture-cavity carbonate reservoir beds are the major type of producing formations in the Tahe oilfield, Tarim Basin. The seismic responses of these beds clearly changes depending on the different distance of the fracture-cavity reservoir bed from the top of the section. The seismic reflection becomes weak or is absent when the fracture-cavity reservoir beds are less than 20 ms below the top Ordovician. The effect on top Ordovician reflection became weaker with deeper burial of fracture-cavity reservoir beds but the developed deep fracture-cavity reservoir beds caused stronger reflection in the interior of the Ordovician. This interior reflection can be divided into strong long-axis, irregular and bead string reflections, and was present 80 ms below the top Ordovician. Aimed at understanding reflection characteristics, the spectral decomposition technique, which uses frequency to ＂tune-in＂ bed thickness, was used to predict Ordovician fracture-cavity carbonate formations in the Tahe oilfield. Through finely adjusting the processing parameters of spectral decomposition, it was found that the slice at 30 Hz of the tuned data cube can best represent reservoir bed development. Two large N-S-trending strong reflection belts in the mid-western part of the study area along wells TK440- TK427-TK417B and in the eastern part along wells TK404-TK409 were observed distinctly on the 30 Hz slice and 4-D time-frequency data cube carving. A small N-S trending reflection belt in the southern part along wells T403-TK446B was also clearly identified. The predicted reservoir bed development area coincides with the fracture-cavities connection area confirmed by drilling pressure testing results. Deep karst cavities occur basically in three reservoir bed-development belts identified by the Ordovician interior strong reflection. Spectral decomposition proved to be a useful technique in identifying fracture-cavity reservoir beds.

The Silurian Reservoir Bed-Differentiated Asphalts in Tarim Basin and Modeling Experiments on Their Origin

There is a type of asphalt that originated from differentiation from reservoir bed (named reservoir bed\|differentiated asphalt) in the Silurian asphaltic sandstones of the Tarim Basin. These asphalts are the result of second\|time charging of hydrocarbons into the Silurian reservoir, which were derived from Lower Paleozoic source rocks. Asphalt was differentiated from the reservoir bed in the hydrocarbon gathering area of secondary migration. The differentiation is caused by changes in reservoir physical properties when pearl or chain hydrocarbons migrating through and gathering in the reservoir bed, and light components are lost and heavy ones are involved in the formation of asphalt or heavy oil. There are two kinds of occurrence of these asphalts in the Silurian system of the Tarim Basin. One is the poor heavy oil layer with lower oil saturation in trap and the other is scattered hydrocarbon distributed along the transport layer and unconformity surface. Reservoir bed\|differentiated asphalts have two characteristics: total hydrocarbon content is high in extractable organic matter and the ratio of saturated to aromatic hydrocarbon is usually greater than unity. The physically modeling experiment has confirmed these characteristics and the genesis of the reservoir bed\|differentiated asphalts.

Effect of Faulting on Ordovician Carbonate Buried-Hill Reservoir Beds in Hetianhe Gas Field, Tarim Basin

Ordovician carbonate buried-hill reservoir beds in the Hetianhe （和田河） gas field, located in the Mazhatage （玛扎塔塔） structural belt on the southern margin of the Bachu （巴楚） faulted uplift, southwestern Tarim basin, were studied. Based on field survey, core and slice observation, the general characteristics of carbonate buried-hill reservoir beds and specifically Ordovician carbonate buried-hill reservoir beds in the Hetianhe gas field were discussed. The karst zone of the reservoir beds in Hetianhe gas field was divided into superficial karst zone, vertical infiltration karst zone, lower subsurface flow karst zone, and deep sluggish flow zone from top to bottom. The effects of faulting on Ordovician carbonate buried-hill reservoir beds in the Hetianhe gas field were obvious. The faulting intensified the karstification and increased the depth of denudation. Faulting and subsequent fracture growth modified the reservoir beds and improved the physical property and quality of the reservoir beds. Moreover, faulting enhanced the development of the dissolution holes and fractures and increased the thickness of the effective reservoir beds. Meanwhile, faulting made the high porosity-permeability carbonate belts, which created conditions for the hydrocarbon accumulation, develop near the fault zone.

A Study of Thin Sandstone Reservoirs by High-resolution Seismic Inversion

In this paper seismic inversion was used as a key technique and the seismic wavelet most suitable to the actual underground situation was extracted with the higher-order statistics algorithm. The wavelets extracted in this way and the wavelets extracted with the seismic statistics techniques were used separately for inverting the seismic data of the southern part of Tahe oilfield, Tarim basin. The results showed that the resolution of the wavelet inversion with the higher-order statistics method was greatly improved, and the wavelet-inverted section could better distinguish the thin sandstone reservoirs of the upper and lower Carboniferous and their lateral distribution, providing a reliable basis of analysis for the study of thin sandstone reservoirs.

EVOLUTION OF RAPIDS OF CREEK MOUTH－BAR AT GEZHOUBA RESERVOIR AND THE IMPACTS ON NAVIGABLE CHANNEL IN THE UPPER REACHES OF THE CHANGJIANG RIVER

Almost at every mouth of the tributary creek of the Three Gorges inthe Gezhouba Reservoir, the alluvial fans or alluvial cones formed the rapids, whichare called rapids of creek mouth--bar. They are composed of pebble bed load with d>20 mm. Based upon geological and geomorphological investigations, the authors detect that the pebble bed load at the Gezhouba Re3ervoir comes from two sources,namely, the region mainly with limestone and The region mainly with pyrolith, andtheir converging area is within the Gezhouba Project. percentages of the pebble bedload are calculated. The calculated result stows that, 65% of pebble bed load comesfrom the region mainly with limestone, and 93 % of the rapids of creek mouth--bar isdistributed in the region mainly with limestone. Considering the water level fluctuations, the rapids of creek mouth--bar can be divided into 3 types i. e. flood waterones, medium water ones and low water ones. Due to the rise of water level afterbuilding the Gezhouba Reservoir, the navigable channels in the area of rapids ofcreek mouth--bar within varied back water region are improved, taking up 50% of all12 rapids. But the rapids of creek mouth--bar in the tail region where the water levelrises less than 1 m, the conditions of navigable channels are little improved and evendeterioration, because of the continuous supply of pebble bed load. Therefore, thoserapids must be regulated before the completion of the Three Gorges Project.

Impact of Reservoir Properties on the Production of the Mannville Coal Measures, South Central Alberta from a Numerical Modelling Parametric Analysis

Numerical simulations are used to investigate the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic reservoir properties on the production from coal and organic rich lithologies in the Lower Cretaceous Mannville coal measures of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The coal measures are complex reservoirs in which production is from horizontal wells drilled and completed in the thickest coal seam in the succession (1 m versus 3 m), which has production and pressure support from thinner coals in the adjacent stratigraphy and from organic-rich shales interbedded and over and underlying the coal seams. Numerical models provide insight as to the relative importance of the myriad of parameters that may impact production that are not self-evident or intuitive in complex coal measures.

金沙江下游三堆子河段卵石推移质输沙率公式研究

金沙江上中游梯级水库运用后,进入下游的悬移质输沙量大幅减少,水沙条件显著变化;同时,卵石推移质输沙量在总输沙量中的比重明显增加,对水库淤积进程影响显著,开展变化水沙条件下金沙江下游卵石推移质输移规律研究具有重要意义。基于下游入口三堆子水文站2008—2021年卵石推移质实测资料,对经典起动流速公式和推移质输沙率公式进行了检验与修正。结果表明:与经典起动流速公式计算结果相比,通过引入以卵石粒径为变量的系数,所得到的不同粒径范围的卵石推移质起动流速修正公式,计算精度显著提高;经典推移质输沙公式的计算结果在输沙强度较低时与实测值偏差很大,通过建立输沙强度与水流强度的关系,并引入隐暴参数对公式进行修正,明显提升了其在低输沙率情况下的计算精度。修正后的起动流速公式和推移质输沙率公式能更有效地反映三堆子河段卵石推移质的输移规律。

吉木萨尔凹陷二叠系芦草沟组页岩油储层天然裂缝特征与压裂模拟

综合利用岩心、地震、测井和微地震监测等资料,在天然裂缝模型和地应力模型的约束下,运用页岩储层压裂缝网模拟研究了吉木萨尔凹陷二叠系芦草沟组天然裂缝特征及其对压裂缝网扩展的影响。研究结果表明:(1)吉木萨尔凹陷二叠系芦草沟组天然裂缝包括层理缝和构造缝,以层理缝为主,数量多、倾角小,裂缝数量平均为251条,裂缝面密度为0.58~1.34条/m,平均为0.93条/m。构造缝倾角为70°~95°,裂缝数量明显少于层理缝,根据形成时间及产状,构造缝可分为Ⅰ类和Ⅱ类构造缝。(2)研究区最小水平主应力为50.41~55.22 MPa,最大水平主应力为53.52~74.43 MPa,有利于水力压裂缝网的延伸,芦草沟组纵向存在应力隔层,最大层间应力差可达12 MPa,水力压裂时人工裂缝不易穿层。(3)研究区芦草沟组页岩压裂改造以激活高角度构造缝为主,96.45%的压裂缝为“T形”裂缝,而“十字形”和“一字形”压裂缝仅占2.24%和1.21%,芦草沟组压裂缝半缝长度为70~100 m,高度为10~30 m,邻近断层时由于缝长过大,易发生井窜。

吉木萨尔凹陷芦草沟组层理页岩渗吸置换规律

为研究吉木萨尔凹陷二叠系芦草沟组层理页岩储集层压裂后渗吸期间原油的动用规律,采用岩心渗吸置换实验结合核磁共振技术,定量描述不同孔隙内原油的相对含量。采用吉木萨尔地区上甜点的岩心开展渗吸实验,研究重力作用、各向异性、重力分异和水力压裂裂缝宽度对渗吸置换影响,并进行定量表征。结果表明:层理页岩自发渗吸的过程中,重力作用在渗吸中起到了动力作用,顶部渗吸的采收率高于水平渗吸;各向异性对层理页岩渗吸的影响较大,压裂液进入平行于层理的渗吸置换量大,达到渗吸平衡的时间较垂直于层理短,平行于层理渗吸采收率高于垂直于层理;重力分异是指在岩心底部渗吸时,渗吸置换出原油而停留在岩层表面形成油膜,阻止压裂液继续进入基质,导致渗吸效果变差,底部渗吸采收率与顶部渗吸采收率相差14.12%;模拟水力压裂裂缝宽度为2 mm的条件下发生渗吸置换的液量有限,导致模拟裂缝内含水饱和度下降快,限制了渗吸的进一步进行。因此,裂缝的缝高方向应尽量穿过平行层理,增大裂缝宽度,增加裂缝改造体积。

煤层气储层的不同多相流因素对渗透率影响

针对勘察过程中对气储层渗透率影响因素的分析不够全面。以渗流机理分析结果为基础,分析煤层气储层勘察中不同因素对渗透率影响。以煤层气储层渗流的密度、饱和度与速度特征为基础计算渗透率;以有效围压、气体压力和温度的影响因素为指标,分析煤层气储层不同因素指标对渗透率的影响。实验结果表明,随着有效围压逐渐增大,煤层气储层的渗透率呈现下降趋势,当气体压力大于1 MPa时,渗透率变化程度较为缓慢;15℃下煤层气储层渗透率普遍更高,表明了温度因素可以改变煤层气储层渗流能力。可为煤层气勘探提供科学依据。
