[0078] In the specific implementation process of the present invention, a core sample is determined, cut and ground, and a high-resolution CT scanning device is used to scan the core sample to obtain a high-quality CT scanning image; detailed structural information of the core sample is obtained from the CT scanning device to form a CT scanning image; a denoising algorithm, a contrast enhancement algorithm and a smoothing algorithm are used to process the CT scanning image to obtain a pre-processed image, and a gradient calculation is performed on the pre-processed image to obtain the gradient value of each pixel in the image; based on the gradient information of the image, weak edges in the image are identified and segmented, and small changes in the image are responded to. , segment the image into different components to obtain a segmented image, in which different components can be clearly separated; perform XRD experiments on different components in the segmented image, use an XRD diffractometer to scan the core sample, obtain the diffraction spectrum, and by analyzing the diffraction spectrum, the mineral composition information in the core can be determined; use image processing technology and physical measurement methods to measure the porosity of the core sample to obtain porosity data; finally, the CT scan image, segmented image, mineral composition data obtained from the XRD experiment, and porosity measurement data are integrated to construct a high-resolution digital core.

[0079] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the above step 12 includes:

[0080] According to the high-resolution digital core, a three-dimensional image of any shape and size is determined, and the pore space of the digital core is eroded and expanded to obtain the calculation result;

[0081] According to the calculation results, the porosity after overburden pressure is obtained;

[0082] The porosity of the digital core after overpressure is calibrated with the porosity of the core overpressure experiment to construct the digital core under overpressure conditions.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present invention, the pore structure inside the rock can be characterized in detail through high-resolution digital cores, including the shape, size, and distribution characteristics of the pores. Corrosion and expansion operations are performed on this basis, which can more accurately simulate the changes in the pore structure under different pressure conditions; the calculation results provide specific values ​​of the porosity after overburdening, making the evaluation of the pore structure changes more quantitative and accurate; the calculated porosity after overburdening is compared with the porosity of the core overburdening experiment to verify the reliability of the digital core model and the simulation method; combining the results of digital core simulation and physical experiments, a comprehensive and reliable data set can be formed.

Only when all pixel values ​​covered by the structural element are target objects and the pixel values ​​at the corresponding positions in the structural element are also target objects, the pixel point of the result image is assigned to the target object; otherwise, the pixel point of the result image is assigned to a non-target object; the operation steps are repeated for each pixel point in the original image until all pixel points are processed, and the obtained image is the eroded image.

[0085] On the basis of the erosion operation, the expansion operation is performed on the pore space. The origin of the structure element is aligned with the pixel currently being processed. The original image area covered by the structure element is checked to determine whether there is a target pixel in the area. If there is at least one target pixel in the area covered by the structure element, the pixel value of the corresponding position in the result image is set to the target object. If the area covered by the structure element is all background pixels, the pixel value of the corresponding position in the result image may remain unchanged. The operation steps are repeated for each pixel in the original image until all pixels are processed. The obtained image is the expanded image.

[0094] Among them, C w is the formation water conductivity, and are the formation water conductivity at temperatures T2 and T1 respectively, and α is the temperature coefficient of conductivity, where α is approximately 0.005 at 140°C.

[0095] In the embodiments of the present invention, the conductivity of formation water at high temperature can be accurately predicted based on known formation water conductivity and temperature conditions, which is of great significance for understanding fluid behavior in the formation, optimizing development strategies, and improving recovery rates; it reduces dependence on traditional experimental methods, thereby reducing experimental costs and shortening research cycles, and also improves accuracy and reliability.

[0096] In the specific implementation process of the present invention, XRD is used to determine the type and volume content of clay minerals, and the equivalent cation exchange capacity of clay minerals is calculated; then, the equivalent cation exchange capacity is used to calculate the cation solubility per unit volume and the core experimental porosity; finally, the conductivity of high-temperature clay minerals is calculated using the cation solubility per unit volume and the core experimental porosity, and the effect of temperature on the conductivity of formation water is calculated, wherein α is the conductivity temperature coefficient, which indicates the rate at which conductivity increases with increasing temperature. Waxman and Smits gave the relationship between α and temperature in their research, and α is about 0.005 at 140°C.

The energy expression involves the electric field component and the voltage component. Use the variational principle to solve the extreme value of the total energy, that is, solve the equation group whose partial derivative of energy with respect to the electric field component is 0. By solving the equation group, the voltage distribution of each pixel unit is obtained. Special treatment is performed on the nodes on the boundary to make them meet the periodic boundary conditions. Set the stop condition C = 1×10 -7 When the square sum of the norm of the gradient vector is less than this threshold, the simulation process will stop automatically. After the simulation stops, the conductivity of the digital core is calculated based on the voltage distribution and other physical parameters. The constructed digital cores with different porosities are completely saturated with water, and the finite element method is used to carry out numerical simulation. The formation factors of these cores are related to the inherent resistivity of the rock, the resistivity of water, and the porosity of the rock. According to the calculated F value and the corresponding porosity φ value, the F-φ cross-plot is constructed, and the F-φ cross-plot is analyzed to deduce the relationship between F and φ.

[0108] In an embodiment of the present invention, under conditions of overpressure and high temperature in the formation, the traditional saturation model may no longer be applicable, and the new model will provide more accurate predictions. Accurate water saturation predictions are crucial to the development of oil and gas fields and optimize development strategies. By more accurately predicting water saturation, explorers can more effectively identify potential oil and gas reservoirs, thereby improving exploration efficiency.

All implementations in the above method embodiment are applicable to this embodiment and can achieve the same technical effect.

[0113] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, when specifically applied, the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0114] Core preparation and overpressure and high temperature condition setting: The core samples come from a deep tight sandstone reservoir in a depression in Area A. Representative cores were selected for X-CT scanning with a scanning resolution of 1.96μm; XRD whole rock and clay analysis experiments were carried out;

[0115] according to Figure 5 The process shown in the figure successively constructs the digital core under the formation overburden condition, with the target layer temperature of 140°C and the pressure of 40 MPa. Figure 6This is a digital core model after pressure equivalence. In the figure, the black component represents pores, the green component represents clay minerals, the white component represents quartz minerals, the light blue component represents calcareous minerals, and the yellow component represents conductive minerals. The large pores are reduced and some small pores are closed. According to the above method, a total of 5 digital cores after overburden pressure were established.

[0116] Assuming the formation temperature is 140℃, the conductivity of the skeleton minerals. cl =B T Q v Calculate the conductivity of clay minerals in 5 digital cores using Eq. The conductivity of the formation water is calculated by overpressure and high temperature equivalence. The resistivity can be calculated by numerical simulation of each constructed digital core using the finite element method.

[0117] Relationship between F and φ: The five digital cores constructed were fully saturated with water, and numerical simulation was carried out using the finite element method to calculate the resistivity R0 and formation factor F of the five cores, and to construct the F-φ cross-plot; Figure 6 Under overpressure and high temperature conditions In the cross-plot, the red and black data points are the numerical simulation results and the high-temperature and high-pressure rock electrical experimental results respectively; the resistivity numerical simulation results under deep overpressure and high-temperature conditions are basically close to the rock electrical experimental results, and the relationship between F and φ still conforms to the first formula of Archie's law:

[0118] The relationship between F and φ under the conditions of overpressure and high temperature is fitted as follows:

[0119]

[0120] According to the rock electrical experimental results, the relationship between F and φ under ground conditions is fitted as follows:

[0121]

[0122] Relationship between RI and Sw: Mathematical morphology calculation method is used to simulate the distribution of oil and water in rock pores under formation overpressure and high temperature conditions, and digital cores with different water saturations are constructed. Finite element method is used to carry out numerical simulation, calculate the resistivity increase coefficient RI of 5 cores at multiple saturations, construct RI-Sw cross plot, and analyze the relationship between resistivity and oil content under formation overpressure and high temperature conditions. Figure 7 Shown is the RI-Sw crossplot of formation conditions;

[0123] From the simulation results, as the displacement progresses, the water saturation gradually decreases, and the RI-Sw curves of the five samples bend downward to varying degrees. This shows that when the water saturation is constant, the resistivity of the formation under overpressure and high temperature is slightly lower than the resistivity of the ground experiment. This is mainly caused by the decrease in the resistivity of the bound water in the formation under overpressure and high temperature. In the double logarithmic coordinates, the RI and Sw of the overpressure and high temperature simulation are in an exponential function relationship, reflecting the new conductive properties of the low-permeability reservoir, which is different from the power function relationship of the traditional rock physics experiment. When the resistivity is constant, the water saturation calculated by the new model is less than the result calculated by the Archie model, that is, the oil saturation calculated by the new model is higher. Therefore, the oil saturation evaluated by the new model is higher, which is of great significance for reserve evaluation:

[0124] The relationship between RI and Sw under the conditions of overpressure and high temperature is fitted as follows:

[0125]

[0126] According to the rock electrical experimental results, the relationship between RI and Sw under ground conditions is fitted as follows:

[0127]

[0128] Derivation of saturation model: Based on the relationship between F and φ and the relationship between RI and Sw, the new conductivity equation is derived as follows: By taking the logarithm of both sides of the formula, we can get: This equation is a tight sandstone reservoir saturation model under formation overpressure and high temperature conditions obtained by digital core technology;

[0129] Similarly, the related equations under ground conditions are: Japanese style The Archie saturation model obtained from rock physics experiments under ground conditions is:

[0130] like Figure 8 As shown, when it is applied specifically, the specific example analysis is:

[0131] The target area is a deep low-permeability clastic oil and gas reservoir in a depression in Area A. The lithology is mainly feldspar lithic quartz sandstone and lithic sandstone, followed by lithic feldspar sandstone and feldspar lithic sandstone. The reservoir porosity is 2%-15%, the average porosity is about 8.4%, and the permeability is 0.001~10×10 -3 μm 2 The average permeability is about 3.8×10 -3 μm 2, the porosity-permeability relationship is complex. Well H is an exploration well in the area. The target layer is buried more than 3500m deep, with an average porosity of about 9.5% and a permeability of about 2.8mD. The resistivity is obtained by deep detection resistivity, the porosity is obtained by neutron-density logging intersection, and the formation water resistivity is 0.16Ω.m. The saturation of the well is calculated using the new model and the Archie model, respectively. The parameters of the Archie model are taken from the results of rock electrical experiments.

[0132] In the figure, the first track is depth, the second track is gamma, natural potential and caliper logging while drilling, the third track is density, neutron and acoustic time difference logging while drilling, the fourth track is resistivity logging, and the fifth track is a comparison of saturation calculation results, where the black dots are the true saturation of the formation obtained using mercury injection data. The sixth track is the mineral profile. It can be seen that compared with the Archie model, the oil saturation calculated by the new model established under overpressure and high temperature formation conditions is significantly higher and more consistent with the core saturation, indicating that the relationship between RI and Sw index in the model is more consistent with the conductivity mechanism of low permeability reservoirs, and therefore, the calculation accuracy is higher.
