Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, the technique of observing porous casting thin sections with ordinary transmitted light polarizing microscope has the following defects: firstly, due to the extremely small throats and poor permeability in tight reservoirs, it is difficult to inject the die-casting liquid into the pores during the die-casting process After the film production is completed, through the ordinary transmitted light polarizing microscope, it will be found that the existence of the casting body can hardly be observed in the thin slice, that is, the pores cannot be found; secondly, even if the die casting liquid can be injected during die casting, the resolution of the ordinary transmitted light polarizing microscope The power is limited, and the image is not clear enough when magnified to 400 times, and it is difficult to observe the characteristics of micro-nano pores
[0010] However, the mercury injection method has the following disadvantages: it needs to fill the pores with mercury, and the minimum pore size that can be measured is related to the maximum mercury injection pressure used in the experiment. The pore size range that can be measured by the mercury injection method at 100 MPa is 14nm to 400μm , that is, the pore size smaller than 14nm cannot be measured; at the same time, due to the extremely poor permeability of tight reservoirs, it is difficult to press mercury into the pores of the sample during the experiment, and the measured mercury saturation may not exceed 50%, so conventional methods cannot be used Calculate the median value of pore throat radius and other parameters
However, the lower limit of the actual measurable permeability is 0.1×10 -3 μm 2
Dense samples take a long time to reach steady state and flow measurements are rather inaccurate

Embodiment 1

[0074] The Xujiahe Formation in the Sichuan Basin in western my country is a set of coal-measure strata dominated by sand and mudstone deposited on the Middle and Lower Triassic carbonate rocks, of which the Xu1, Xu3 and Xu5 members are dominated by mudstone Shale, Xu 2, Xu 4 and Xu 6 are dominated by gray, off-white fine-medium sandstone. The long-term exploration practice in western Sichuan has targeted the low-permeability sandstone reservoirs of the Xu 2 and Xu 4 Members. However, through unconventional oil and gas evaluation work, it has been found that the Xu 5 Member also has great gas potential. The fifth member of the Xu Member is buried at a depth of 3500-5000m, and its lithological combination is dominated by thin sand-mud interbeds, of which fine sandstone is about 20%, siltstone is about 25%, and mud shale is about 55%. The average reservoir porosity is 3.21%, and the average permeability is 0.0329×10 -3 μm 2 . Reservoir pores are mainly in the micron-nano scale...

Embodiment 2

[0100] In the northern part of the Tarim Basin in western China, a set of channel facies sandstone mainly composed of fluvial facies and delta facies develops in a stable distribution. The porosity of the sandstone is 1-8%, and the permeability is mainly 0.01-0.1×10 -3 μm 2 , belonging to tight reservoirs. The main problems in reservoir research are as follows: (1) There are many types of reservoir cementation, and some small cements are small and difficult to identify; (2) Pores are small, with well-developed micropores and nanopores. It is difficult to identify it; (3) The particles are in close contact and the radius of the pore roar is extremely low. When the maximum mercury injection pressure is low, it is difficult to fully reflect the structural characteristics of the pore roar. In this regard, this embodiment provides a microscopic pore structure evaluation and reservoir classification method for the above-mentioned tight reservoirs, such as figure 1 As shown, it inc...

Abstract

The invention provides a micro-pore structure evaluation and reservoir classification method for tight reservoirs. The method comprises steps as follows: the origin and the petrologic features of each reservoir are analyzed, and the phase type, the content and the like of each reservoir are determined; physical features of each reservoir are analyzed; features of a reservoir space of each reservoir are observed, and the pore type, the surface porosity and the like are determined; pore structure parameters of the reservoirs are measured with a high-pressure mercury intrusion method and a nitrogen adsorption method; the diagenesis is researched, and compaction, cementation and corrosion sequences are determined; physical property control factors of the reservoirs are analyzed; the reservoirs are classified. The method mainly has the effects as follows: the diagenesis and the influences of the diagenesis on the reservoirs are comprehensively reflected through cathode luminescence and micro-area mineral quantitative analysis; micro pores of the tight reservoirs are researched elaborately through fluorescent casting and field emission scanning electron microscopy; the microscopic features of the tight reservoirs are determined accurately through high-pressure mercury intrusion experiments and the nitrogen adsorption experiments; the parameters are optimized for classification and evaluation of the reservoirs, and the method has a great significance in further prediction of beneficial developing stratums or zones.
