TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration, in particular to a method for calculating oil saturation based on a four-water conductivity model. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the deepening of the research on low porosity and low permeability reservoirs, researchers have gradually realized that there are problems such as the development of argillaceous, complex pore structure and diverse conductivity characteristics in such reservoirs. These characteristics make the logging response characteristics not conform to the ideal Archie formula, and make the traditional saturation calculation method difficult to apply. In order to more accurately characterize and evaluate the saturation characteristics of such complex reservoirs, scholars have proposed various conductivity models. The dual-water model considers that the conductive medium in argillaceous sandstone reservoirs mainly includes free water and clay bound water. However, experimental studies have shown that there is also bound water in capillary pores, and the dual-water model does not consider the conductivity contribution of this part of water. Based on this, Li Zhoubo et al. proposed a three-water conductivity model, which has achieved good application effect in the interpretation of low-resistivity oil layers in the Tarim Basin. Due to the limitation of experimental data, the three-water model is simplified in parameter setting and does not consider the lithology coefficient. After that, Zhang Lihua et al. proposed a new three-water conductivity model, which introduces the lithology coefficient on the basis of the three-water conductivity model, further improving the applicability and accuracy of the model.
[0003] However, the three-water conductivity model and the new three-water conductivity model generally only consider the bound water in the effective pore in the division of micro-pore water, and do not fully consider the conductivity contribution of the fine silt part of the pore water in the argillaceous. In fact, the fine silt particles in the argillaceous also have a certain porosity, and the water inside will affect the overall conductivity characteristics of the reservoir. In order to solve these problems, we provide a method for calculating oil saturation based on a four-water conductivity model. SUMMARY
