Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining a reservoir physical property of sandstone before cementation. In the method, based on measurement of a physical property of early strongly cemented sandstone, that is, measurement of porosity phi0 and permeability K0, a dilute acetic acid solution is used to dissolve cement in the early strongly cemented sandstone, to restore a sandstone status before the sandstone is strongly cemented. Then, a physical property of a sandstone sample is directly measured, and porosity phi1 and permeability K1 obtained from the measurement are the reservoir physical property before the cementation, so as to determine the reservoir physical property before the cementation. The method effectively avoids a human factor effect in a statistics and calculation process, is more consistent with an actual geological condition, and has a more accurate result.
