[0002] The calculation of hydrocarbon saturation in oil and gas reservoirs has long been based on geophysical logging data. Archie's formula is commonly used to calculate reservoir fluid saturation in related technologies. However, in oil and gas exploration and development practice, the reservoir fluid saturation calculated using Archie's formula has noticeable errors, especially in low-resistivity oil and gas reservoirs and high-resistivity water layers, where the errors are significant.
[0003] From the perspective of resistivity measurement mechanisms and the establishment mechanism of Archie's formula, calculation deviations stem from the appropriateness of the understanding of Archie parameters a, b, m, and n. Therefore, the difficulty in accurately calculating using Archie's formula lies in obtaining accurate Archie parameters for the target layer.

The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them.
[0045] The calculation of hydrocarbon saturation in oil and gas reservoirs has long been based on geophysical logging data. Geophysical logging, during oil exploration and extraction, utilizes various instruments to measure the physical parameters of downhole formations and the technical condition of the well, analyzes the recorded data, and conducts geological and engineering studies. Based on the physical foundation of logging methods, the main types include electrical logging, radiometric logging, sonic logging, and formation dip logging. In oil and gas field logging, logging data is primarily used for formation correlation, classifying oil, gas, and water layers; determining important parameters such as reservoir porosity, oil saturation, and permeability; studying the dynamics of oil, gas, and water and the condition of the well during oil and gas field development to provide a basis for development planning; and using logging data along with geological, geophysical, and development data to conduct comprehensive regional geological studies and reservoir description.
[0046] Well logging data interpretation and processing first involves using lithological logging data to calculate a lithological profile, obtaining the reservoir's clay content or the volumetric content of other minerals, and establishing a well logging interpretation lithological profile. Secondly, based on porosity logging data, combined with data such as clay content, the reservoir porosity is calculated. Finally, based on resistivity logging data, the Archie formula is used to calculate the reservoir's oil saturation.
[0047] Archie's formulas are laws concerning the resistivity of sandstone published in 1942 by G.E. Archie, an oil logging engineer at Shell Oilfield Services. Their practical expression is:
[0048]
[0049] Where: a—lithology coefficient related to lithology; b—lithology constant; m—cementation index; n—saturation index; Rw—formation water resistivity, Ω.m; Rt—formation resistivity, Ω.m; Φ—porosity, v / v; S w —Reservoir water saturation, v / v; based on well logging parameters.
[0050] The reservoir hydrocarbon saturation calculated using Archie's formula is: S o =1―S w
[0051] In the formula: S o —Reservoir hydrocarbon saturation, v / v
[0052] Archie's formula has a solid physical basis, and 80 years of practical application have verified its usefulness in calculating reservoir fluid saturation. However, it is undeniable that in oil and gas exploration and development, the reservoir fluid saturation calculated using Archie's formula contains perceptible errors, especially in low-resistivity oil and gas reservoirs and high-resistivity water layers, where the errors are significant.
[0053] From the perspective of resistivity measurement mechanisms and the establishment mechanism of Archie's formula, calculation deviations stem from the appropriateness of the understanding of Archie parameters a, b, m, and n. Therefore, the difficulty in accurately calculating using Archie's formula lies in obtaining accurate Archie parameters for the target layer. This requires a large amount of costly rock electrical experimental data, which is almost impossible for oil and gas exploration companies operating across vast areas. This has been a challenge encountered by well logging data interpretation technology for nearly a century.
[0054] Natural gas can form reservoirs independently or be associated with crude oil. Oil reservoirs of different properties are often associated with natural gas of different characteristics, also known as associated gas.
[0055] Oil and gas detection methods in well logging technology are an extension of reservoir geochemical analysis technology applied to drilling operations. They are the most timely and direct means of discovering and evaluating oil and gas reservoirs in oil and gas exploration and development.
[0056] Gas logging is a logging technique that obtains the gas carried by the drilling fluid returning from the bottom of the well. It uses chromatographic analysis to detect and record the composition and total hydrocarbon content of the gas, thereby identifying oil and gas reservoirs. It provides basic data for the discovery and evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs and is one of the main means of discovering oil and gas reservoirs.
[0057] Gas logging parameters mainly include: continuously recorded and automatically detected total hydrocarbons (TG), hydrocarbon components (C1 (methane), C2 (ethane), C3 (propane), iC4 (isobutane), nC4 (n-butane), iC5 (isopentane) and nC5 (n-pentane)), non-hydrocarbon components (H2S (hydrogen sulfide), CO2 (carbon dioxide)) and other logging data.
[0058] The most direct parameter reflecting associated gas content is the total hydrocarbon value in gas logging data. The net gas increment can reflect the true gas content of the reservoir and can be used for further calculations.
[0059] In order to quantify the oil and gas content of the formation, technicians used gas standardization calculations to try to obtain quantitative parameters that reflect the oil and gas content of the formation, namely the surface gas content, through correction methods.
[0060] Surface gas content refers to the volume of gas released per unit volume of rock drilled under surface conditions. Changes in the gas volume per unit volume of broken rock reflect changes in the relative porosity and gas saturation of the rock.
[0061] The theoretical basis of surface gas content interpretation methods is the assumption that the natural gas value of a known display section is directly related to the volume of rock fragmentation in that section. When drilling through two identical reservoirs, the hydrocarbon displays will differ significantly due to variations in drilling rate, drilling fluid discharge rate, and drill bit diameter (ignoring uncontrollable factors). The key to formation gas content chart interpretation is standardizing the hydrocarbon displays to eliminate the influence of factors such as drilling time, drill bit, and drilling fluid discharge rate, thereby determining the formation gas content. Therefore, through continuous calculations, the changes in gas content at different depths within the same well can be compared, allowing for the identification of oil, gas, and water layers.
[0062] Through theoretical calculations, the gas content in drilling fluid detected by surface instruments is converted into surface gas content in the rock, providing a quantitative parameter for determining reservoir properties. The NTC calculation derivation comes from the "Technical Specifications for Field Supervision of Exploration and Production Engineering of China National Petroleum Corporation - Geological Supervision Volume," compiled by China National Petroleum Corporation. After considering unit conversions:
[0063]
[0064] Where: TC - the sum of the concentrations of each component, % or 10 -6 Q - Drilling fluid outlet discharge, m 3 / min; ROP - Drilling time, min / m; d - Drill bit outer diameter, mm; k - Degassing efficiency correction value of degasser, currently the degassing efficiency can reach 0.75; NTC - Gas volume content per unit volume of rock under ground conditions, consistent with TC unit.
[0065] NTC is the theoretical surface gas content calculated from gas detection values after eliminating common influencing factors; it is also known as the Gas Normalization value. When TG is used instead of TC in the calculation, the result is called NTG. Because the calculation formulas for NTC and NTG include ROP (Reactive Oxidant Optimum), higher ROP values in tight formations can lead to higher NTC (NTG) values, which are not necessarily due to formation hydrocarbon content. Therefore, the use of NTC (NTG) needs to be constrained. Practice has shown that NTC (NTG) can solve the problem of quantitative calculation to some extent, but there are still many unsatisfactory aspects in its application.
[0066] In 2017, Zhang Guodong published a paper titled "A Full-Scale Forward Modeling Calculation Method for Gas Logging in Determining the Gas-Bearing Nature of Low-Porosity and Low-Permeability Reservoirs," based on the working mechanism of a quantitative degasser. This paper reached a new level of achievement, and the gas standardization calculation formula given in the paper is as follows:
[0067]
[0068] Where: r - wellbore radius, m; v0 - drilling rate, m / min; t - drilling time, min; Φ - rock porosity, %; Sg - gas saturation of fractured rock, %; P_underground - pore pressure of the drilled formation, Pa; T_underground - formation temperature at the drilled site, K, which can be obtained from the geothermal gradient; P_surface - surface atmospheric pressure, Pa; T_surface drilling fluid - temperature of the drilling fluid in the degassing tank, 343.15 K; F_flow rate - drilling fluid flow rate, m³ / min; 300 - volume of drilling fluid obtained per degassing cycle, 300 cm³; 500 - flow rate of the degassing pipeline, 500 cm³ / min; Tg calculation - hydrocarbon concentration in the sample gas pipeline, %; By converting the Tg calculation to the total hydrocarbon value from the gas logging, the reservoir gas saturation value can be obtained.
[0069]
[0070] The logical derivation of this calculation formula is not wrong. The problem lies in the fact that the drilling rate v0 used in it is an engineering construction parameter and t is the drilling time. Although these are quantitatively expressed parameters, they are still qualitative parameters affected by construction factors, not true rock physical parameters. When mixed with gas physical parameters and rock physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, and porosity that are not affected by engineering factors, the final calculation result is distorted.
[0071] Gas component ratios reflect the characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs, and many effective methods have emerged in production practice. Oil and gas reservoirs with different crude oil properties exhibit different characteristics in their associated gas component ratios, such as the Pixler ratio, triangular plot index, and comprehensive gas index. Conversely, the characteristics of underground oil and gas reservoirs can be inferred through these gas component ratio characteristics, identifying whether the gas is dry, wet, light, medium, or heavy. The characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs can be quantitatively expressed through gas component ratios. Oil and gas reservoirs with different crude oil properties have significant differences in their gas-oil ratios, and these ratios can reflect the characteristics of the reservoirs. The gas-oil ratio (GOR) is one of the important characteristic parameters of oil and gas reservoirs, and its value can be calculated using empirical equations based on gas logging data and regional oil and gas well test production data. Other oil and gas reservoir parameters, such as the relative density of natural gas, crude oil density, and viscosity, can all be quantitatively calculated through a series of logical reasoning and data regression processing. During the exploration and evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs, the characteristic parameters of associated gas can be calculated based on gas logging data and corrected by oil and gas well testing and production data. This has practical application value and lays the foundation for the quantitative calculation and evaluation of reservoir hydrocarbon content.
[0072] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas exploration and development data processing technology, and in particular to using gas logging data and porosity logging data, based on oil and gas reservoir characteristic parameters and oil and gas display distribution well sections, and employing computer processing technology to determine the oil and gas saturation of oil and gas reservoirs.
[0073] To address some of the problems existing in the prior art, please refer to Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a method for determining the hydrocarbon saturation of a reservoir, provided in an embodiment of this application. Specifically, it may include:
[0074] S110. Acquire gas logging data and well porosity data;
[0075] For example, the oil and gas indication data detected by gas logging originates from the actual amount of oil and gas in the reservoir and has a good correlation with the reservoir's oil and gas saturation. Based on the calculation of hydrocarbon saturation data using the physical reservoir characteristics parameters, both liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon saturation can be calculated. Simultaneously, accurate determinations of natural gas type and oil quality can be made.
[0076] Well logging porosity is an important concept in geology and petroleum engineering, describing the proportion of voids or pores in a rock or reservoir. Porosity is usually expressed as a percentage, representing the percentage of voids in the total volume of a rock or reservoir.
[0077] S120. Based on the above gas logging data, obtain natural gas volume and gas-oil ratio data under surface conditions, wherein the above gas-oil volume ratio data includes gas volume coefficient, crude oil volume coefficient, gas-oil ratio, and gas-oil ratio when the formation pressure is the bubble point pressure, and the above reservoir hydrocarbon saturation includes at least one of gas saturation, oil saturation, and total hydrocarbon saturation.
[0078] For example, based on the fundamental principles of gas temperature and pressure calculation, natural gas originating from the reservoir, returning to the surface with drilling fluid, experiences three temperature and pressure environments before entering the chromatographic column: the formation environment, the wellhead degasser environment, and the sample gas pipeline environment. The temperature, pressure, and volume of these environments satisfy specific gas equations. Based on gas detection and analysis data, the temperature and pressure conditions of the sample gas, the surface, and the outlet drilling fluid can be used to deduce the natural gas volume under surface conditions. The aforementioned gas-oil volume ratio data includes the gas volume factor, crude oil volume factor, gas-oil ratio, and gas-oil ratio when the formation pressure is the bubble point pressure. The aforementioned reservoir hydrocarbon saturation includes at least one of gas saturation, oil saturation, and total hydrocarbon saturation.
[0079] S130. Obtain the saturation state of the oil and gas reservoir based on the formation pressure and the reservoir bubble point pressure, wherein the above-mentioned saturation state of the oil and gas reservoir includes the liquid hydrocarbon single-phase state, the gaseous hydrocarbon single-phase state, and the oil and gas mixed-phase state.
[0080] For example, the saturated state of an oil and gas reservoir includes a single-phase liquid hydrocarbon state, a single-phase gaseous hydrocarbon state, and a mixed-phase oil and gas state. The single-phase liquid hydrocarbon state is characterized by the complete dissolution of the gas phase within the liquid phase; the single-phase gaseous hydrocarbon state is characterized by the complete dissolution of the liquid phase within the gas phase; and the mixed-phase oil and gas state is a mixture of the gas and liquid phases. When the formation pressure is greater than the aforementioned reservoir bubble point pressure, the saturated state of the oil and gas reservoir is either the single-phase liquid hydrocarbon state or the single-phase gaseous hydrocarbon state; when the formation pressure is less than the aforementioned reservoir bubble point pressure, the saturated state of the oil and gas reservoir is the mixed-phase oil and gas state.
[0081] S140. Based on the above-mentioned oil and gas reservoir saturation state, the above-mentioned natural gas volume under the above-mentioned surface conditions, the above-mentioned well logging porosity data and gas-oil volume ratio data, the hydrocarbon saturation of the reservoir is obtained.
[0082] For example, after calculating the natural gas volume under surface conditions, the hydrocarbon saturation of the reservoir is calculated using a corresponding formula based on different reservoir saturation states. This formula is related to the natural gas volume, porosity data, and gasoline volume ratio data. The gas-oil volume ratio data includes the gas volume coefficient, crude oil volume coefficient, gas-oil ratio, and the gas-oil ratio at the bubble point pressure. The aforementioned reservoir hydrocarbon saturation includes at least one of gas saturation, oil saturation, and total hydrocarbon saturation.
[0083] In summary, the method for determining reservoir hydrocarbon saturation proposed in this application creatively utilizes calculated data of reservoir physical oil and gas reservoir characteristic parameters obtained from gas logging data, combined with reservoir porosity calculated using geophysical logging methods, to calculate reservoir hydrocarbon saturation data. The oil and gas indication data detected by gas logging originates from the actual oil and gas content of the reservoir and has a good correlation with the reservoir's hydrocarbon saturation. The calculation of hydrocarbon saturation data based on reservoir physical oil and gas reservoir characteristic parameters can realize the calculation of both liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon saturation, and can accurately determine the type of natural gas and oil quality while calculating hydrocarbon saturation. Using the method adopted in this application, formation factors affecting resistivity do not have a decisive impact on gas indications. The hydrocarbon saturation calculated based on gas logging data is closer to the actual hydrocarbon content of the formation. Comparing the hydrocarbon saturation calculated from gas logging data with the hydrocarbon saturation from well logging can identify low-resistivity oil layers and high-resistivity water layers, thus improving the overall accuracy of oil and gas layer identification. This application is based on reservoir physics principles, comprehensively utilizes well logging and well logging data, and uses reservoir physics and rock physics calculation methods to realize the data calculation of liquid hydrocarbon saturation and gas hydrocarbon saturation under formation conditions, thereby meeting the technical requirements for reservoir interpretation in the process of oil and gas exploration and development.
[0084] In one embodiment, the aforementioned gas logging data includes a degassing efficiency correction factor, chromatograph sample gas flow rate, net increase in gas in the outlet drilling fluid, sample gas pipeline pressure, drilling fluid outlet temperature, drilling fluid outlet flow rate, surface temperature, surface pressure, and the flow rate of drilling fluid drawn by the degasser.
[0085] The above-mentioned data on natural gas volume and gas-oil ratio under surface conditions, obtained based on the aforementioned gas logging data, include:
[0086] The volume of natural gas under the above surface conditions is obtained based on the above degassing efficiency correction coefficient, the above chromatograph sample gas flow rate, the above net increase in gas in the above outlet drilling fluid, the above sample gas pipeline pressure, the above drilling fluid outlet temperature, the above drilling fluid outlet flow rate, the above surface temperature, the above surface pressure, and the flow rate of drilling fluid drawn by the above degasser.
[0087] For example, based on the basic principles of gas temperature and pressure calculation, natural gas originating from the reservoir returns to the surface with the drilling fluid. Before entering the chromatographic column, it exists in three temperature and pressure environments: the formation environment, the wellhead degasser environment, and the sample gas pipeline environment. The gas equations for its temperature, pressure, and volume are as follows:
[0088]
[0089] Based on gas detection and analysis data, the temperature and pressure conditions of sample gas, surface, and outlet drilling fluid can be used to deduce the volume of natural gas under surface conditions. Specifically, the volume of natural gas under surface conditions can be calculated using the degassing efficiency correction coefficient, chromatograph sample gas flow rate, net increase in gas in outlet drilling fluid, sample gas pipeline pressure, drilling fluid outlet temperature, drilling fluid outlet flow rate, surface temperature, surface pressure, and the flow rate of drilling fluid drawn by the degasser.
[0090] In one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0091] The natural gas volume (GSS) under the above surface conditions is determined based on the following formula:
[0092]
[0093] In the formula, k is the above degassing efficiency correction coefficient, Q is the above chromatograph sample gas flow rate, DTC is the above net increase in gas in the outlet drilling fluid, and P tube The above sample gas pipeline pressure, T out The above refers to the drilling fluid outlet temperature, Flrate is the above refers to the drilling fluid outlet flow rate, and T is the drilling fluid outlet temperature. S For the above-mentioned surface temperature, P S For the above surface pressure, Q d The flow rate at which drilling fluid is drawn from the aforementioned degasser.
[0094] In one embodiment, obtaining the reservoir saturation state based on formation pressure and reservoir bubble point pressure includes:
[0095] When the formation pressure is greater than the reservoir bubble point pressure, the saturated state of the oil and gas reservoir is either the liquid hydrocarbon single-phase state or the gaseous hydrocarbon single-phase state; and / or
[0096] When the formation pressure is less than the reservoir bubble point pressure, the saturated state of the oil and gas reservoir is the oil and gas miscible state.
[0097] For example, the reservoir bubble point pressure can be calculated using the empirical formula proposed by Glaso:
[0098]
[0099] in,
[0100]
[0101] In the formula: P b —Oil and gas reservoir bubble point (dew point) pressure, MPa;
