[0002] The massive bioclastic limestone reservoirs have complex geological origins and exhibit strong heterogeneity, meaning that the lithology and microstructure of the rocks within the reservoirs are complex. Furthermore, the porosity and permeability of the rocks in these reservoirs show a low correlation; permeability can vary by one to four orders of magnitude depending on the porosity of rocks in different regions. Therefore, current technologies have limited accuracy in characterizing the favorable oil and gas-bearing reservoirs within these massive bioclastic limestone reservoirs, making it difficult to provide sufficient data support for subsequent development. Improving the accuracy of identifying the true favorable reservoirs within these massive bioclastic limestone reservoirs is an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this application, a brief description of the thick bioclastic limestone reservoir proposed in this application will be given first.
[0031] Thick bioclastic limestone reservoirs have complex geological origins and exhibit strong heterogeneity, meaning the rock types and microstructures within the reservoirs are complex. Furthermore, the porosity and permeability of the rocks in these reservoirs show a low correlation; permeability can vary by one to four orders of magnitude depending on the porosity of rocks in different regions. Therefore, current technologies have limited accuracy in characterizing favorable oil and gas-bearing reservoirs within these thick bioclastic limestone reservoirs, making it difficult to provide sufficient data support for subsequent development. Based on this, the inventors of this application propose a method for identifying truly favorable reservoirs in thick bioclastic limestone reservoirs. This method can be used to determine favorable oil and gas-bearing reservoirs within these reservoirs, thereby improving the accuracy of identifying truly favorable reservoirs.
[0032] Next, we will combine Figure 1 This application elaborates in detail on the method for identifying the true favorable reservoirs in thick bioclastic limestone reservoirs.
[0033] See Figure 1 This document illustrates a flowchart of a method for determining the true favorable reservoir in a thick bioclastic limestone reservoir according to one embodiment of this application. The method can be executed by a device with computational processing capabilities, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method may include at least steps 110 to 160:
[0034] Step 110: Obtain the core grain size and seismic data of the reservoir, as well as the gamma logging curves of the reservoir's production wells. Based on the core grain size, the seismic data, and the gamma logging curves, divide the reservoir into multiple third-order sequences, and determine the favorable development intervals in the reservoir within each third-order sequence.
[0035] Step 120: Based on the rock structure and rock grain type in the favorable development interval, determine the favorable sedimentary facies in the favorable development interval.
[0036] Step 130: Based on the dissolution intensity and cementation intensity of the favorable sedimentary facies, determine the favorable diagenetic facies within the favorable sedimentary facies.
[0037] Step 140: Based on the pore throat structure, pore throat type and pore type of the favorable diagenetic facies, determine the favorable petrophysical phase in the favorable diagenetic facies.
[0038] Step 150: Based on the deep lateral resistivity curve of the oil reservoir production well, determine the theoretically favorable reservoir in the favorable petrophysical phase.
[0039] Step 160: Obtain production logging data from the production well of the reservoir, and based on the production logging data, determine whether the theoretically favorable reservoir is a real favorable reservoir.
[0040] In this application, a multi-level, multi-angle analysis and screening method is employed to gain a deeper understanding of the reservoir's characteristics. First, the reservoir is divided into multiple third-order sequence layers using core grain size analysis, seismic data, and gamma-ray logging curves. This allows for a comprehensive understanding of the reservoir's macroscopic geological features, identifying favorable developmental strata and providing a foundation for subsequent screening and analysis. Second, favorable sedimentary facies are determined by analyzing the rock structure and grain type within these favorable strata, taking into account the influence of the sedimentary environment on favorable reservoir formations. Finally, the intensity of dissolution and cementation in the rocks of these favorable sedimentary facies is analyzed to determine... First, favorable diagenetic facies are identified, and the distribution range of favorable reservoirs is further narrowed through diagenesis. Next, favorable petrophysical facies are determined through pore-throat structure, pore-throat type, and pore type. The reservoir performance of rocks is evaluated through pore-throat structure, pore-throat type, and pore type, which can effectively improve the accuracy of identifying true favorable reservoirs. Then, theoretical favorable reservoirs are determined using deep lateral resistivity curves, which can preliminarily determine the possibility of oil and gas in the theoretical favorable reservoirs. Finally, production logging data is used to verify whether the theoretical favorable reservoirs are true favorable reservoirs. Combining theoretical evaluation results with actual production performance can effectively improve the accuracy of identifying true favorable reservoirs.
[0041] In this application, a multi-step process for screening favorable reservoirs in the reservoir can effectively address the complexity and heterogeneity of thick bioclastic limestone reservoirs. Furthermore, each screening step considers reservoir characteristics at different scales and angles, thereby enabling a comprehensive assessment of reservoir quality and further improving the accuracy of identifying truly favorable reservoirs.
[0042] In step 110 above, the reservoir is divided into multiple third-order sequences based on the core grain size, seismic data, and gamma logging curves, and favorable development intervals in the reservoir are determined within each third-order sequence. Specifically, this can be performed according to steps 111 to 113 below:
[0043] Step 111: Based on the seismic data, determine the key interfaces in the reservoir, and divide the reservoir into multiple third-order sequences according to the key interfaces.
[0044] Step 112: In each third-order sequence, determine the segment with the smallest core grain size and the highest gamma logging curve as the maximum flooding surface of each third-order sequence.
[0045] Step 113: Each third-order sequence is divided into transgressive semi-cycle segments and regressive semi-cycle segments according to the location of the corresponding maximum flooding surface, and the regressive semi-cycle segments are regarded as favorable development segments.
[0046] In this application, the key interfaces include at least unconformities, leaching and dissolution surfaces, sedimentary facies abrupt change surfaces, and carbonaceous mudstone layers. Depending on actual needs, other types of rock layer interfaces may also be included, and this application does not make specific limitations on them.
[0047] In this application, the transgressive semi-cycle segment is the segment below the highest flooding surface in each third-order sequence, and the regressive semi-cycle segment is the segment above the highest flooding surface in each third-order sequence.
[0048] In this application, key interfaces in the reservoir are first determined based on seismic data, and the reservoir is divided into multiple third-order sequence layers, specifically, as follows: Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a third-order sequence stratigraphy of a thick bioclastic limestone reservoir according to one embodiment of this application. The key interfaces reflect changes in the reservoir's sedimentary environment and are crucial for third-order sequence stratigraphy. By identifying these key interfaces and considering the changing sedimentary environment, the accuracy of the third-order sequence stratigraphy can be improved, allowing for a more detailed depiction of the reservoir's internal structure and sedimentary characteristics, thus enhancing the accuracy of identifying the true favorable reservoir. Secondly, the maximum flooding surface is determined using two parameters: the minimum core grain size and the highest gamma-ray logging curve. This fully considers the formation of the maximum flooding surface, thereby improving the accuracy of its identification. Finally, the semi-regression cycle is considered a favorable development zone because during marine regression, sediments tend to form layers with good porosity and permeability, making them more likely to develop into favorable reservoirs. Therefore, the above methods effectively improve the accuracy of identifying the true favorable reservoir.
[0049] In step 120 above, determining favorable sedimentary facies in the favorable development zone based on the rock structure and rock grain type can be specifically performed according to steps 121 to 125 as follows:
[0050] Step 121: Obtain the particle content and particle size of the rock in the favorable development zone, and determine the rock structure based on the particle content and particle size.
[0051] Step 122: If the particle size is less than or equal to 2 mm, and the particle content is less than 10%, the rock structure is a micritic structure; if the particle content is greater than or equal to 10% and less than 50%, the rock structure is a granular mud structure; if the particle content is greater than or equal to 50% and less than 90%, the rock structure is a mud-granular structure; and if the particle content is greater than or equal to 90%, the rock structure is a granular structure.
[0052] Step 123: If the particle size is greater than 2 mm, and the particle content is greater than or equal to 10% and less than 50%, then the rock structure is a floating structure; if the particle content is greater than or equal to 50%, then the rock structure is a gravel structure.
[0053] Step 124: Obtain the rock grain type in the favorable development zone. The rock grain type includes at least biological shell fragments of thick-shelled clams, bivalves, benthic foraminifera, algae, echinoderms, gastropods, sponges, corals, and ostracods, as well as spheroids, sand fragments, and internal fragments.
[0054] Step 125: The rock structure is classified as mudstone structure, grain structure, and gravel structure, and the rock grain type is a favorable developmental layer dominated by one or more of the following: thick-shelled clams, corals, bivalves, echinoderms, spheroids, and sand grains, which is regarded as a favorable sedimentary facies.
[0055] In this application, by analyzing the rock structure and grain type of the rocks in the favorable development zone, sedimentary facies that may contain oil and gas in the favorable development zone can be effectively identified, i.e., favorable sedimentary facies. For details, please refer to... Figure 3 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of favorable sedimentary facies in one embodiment of this application. By considering multiple factors such as rock grain content, grain size, and grain type, the accuracy of identifying favorable reservoirs can be improved. Furthermore, specific criteria for identifying favorable sedimentary facies are proposed, defining favorable sedimentary facies as rock structures of mudstone, grain, and clastic texture, and rock grain types dominated by one or more of the following: thick-shelled clams, corals, bivalves, echinoderms, spheroids, and sand grains. By comprehensively considering rock structure and rock grain type, favorable sedimentary facies with good reservoir space and permeability can be accurately identified, thereby improving the accuracy of identifying true favorable reservoirs.
[0056] In step 130 above, determining the favorable diagenetic facies within the favorable sedimentary facies based on the intensity of dissolution and cementation can be specifically performed according to steps 131 to 133 as follows:
[0057] Step 131: Obtain a first rock sample of the favorable sedimentary facies, and determine the dissolution intensity and cementation intensity of the first rock sample based on the cement content of the first rock sample.
[0058] Step 132: If the cement content is less than 10%, the dissolution intensity of the first rock sample is strong dissolution; if the cement content is greater than or equal to 10% and less than 30%, the dissolution intensity and cementation intensity of the first rock sample are strong dissolution-weak cementation; if the cement content is greater than or equal to 30% and less than 50%, the dissolution intensity and cementation intensity of the first rock sample are moderate dissolution-moderate cementation; if the cement content is greater than or equal to 50% and less than 90%, the dissolution intensity and cementation intensity of the first rock sample are weak dissolution-strong cementation; if the cement content is greater than or equal to 90%, the cementation intensity of the first rock sample is strong cementation.
[0059] Step 133: The favorable sedimentary facies corresponding to the strongly dissolved first rock sample and the strongly dissolved-weakly cemented first rock sample are respectively taken as favorable diagenetic facies.
[0060] In this application, the favorable sedimentary facies corresponding to the first rock sample with strong dissolution and the first rock sample with strong dissolution and weak cementation are identified as favorable diagenetic facies. The reason is that strong dissolution means that the rock has undergone strong dissolution, which can form more dissolution pores, which is conducive to improving the porosity and permeability of the rock and making it easier to develop into a favorable reservoir. On the other hand, the rock with strong dissolution and weak cementation indicates that the rock has undergone strong dissolution but has not been filled with too much cement, which can retain more pores, thus making the rock have good porosity and permeability.
[0061] In this application, the intensity of dissolution and cementation of the first rock sample are classified according to the different ranges of cement content. Specifically, for example... Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the cementation and dissolution strength in one embodiment of this application. This allows for a more comprehensive analysis of the porosity and permeability in the favorable sedimentary facies, thereby enabling the identification of favorable diagenetic facies with good porosity and permeability, and ultimately improving the accuracy of the identification of the true favorable reservoir.
[0062] In step 140 above, determining the favorable petrophysical phase within the favorable diagenetic facies based on the pore throat structure, pore throat type, and pore type can be specifically performed according to steps 141 to 144 below:
[0063] Step 141: Obtain a second rock sample of the favorable diagenetic facies, perform mercury intrusion porosimetry on the second rock sample, and determine the pore throat structure and pore throat grain size of the second rock sample. The pore throat structure includes at least single-mode, dual-mode and multi-mode.
[0064] Step 142: Determine the pore throat type based on the size of the pore throat particle. If the pore throat particle size is less than 0.075 μm, the pore throat type is nano-throat. If the pore throat particle size is greater than or equal to 0.075 μm and less than 0.5 μm, the pore throat type is micro-throat. If the pore throat particle size is greater than or equal to 0.5 μm and less than 2.5 μm, the pore throat type is medium-throat. If the pore throat particle size is greater than or equal to 2.5 μm and less than 10 μm, the pore throat type is large-throat. If the pore throat particle size is greater than or equal to 10 μm, the pore throat type is giant-throat.
[0065] Step 143: Prepare the second rock sample into a cast thin section and identify the cast thin section to determine the pore type of the second rock sample. The pore type includes at least intergranular pores, intergranular dissolution pores, casting pores, cavity pores, intragranular pores, micropores, intercrystalline pores, and cracks.
[0066] Step 144: The favorable diagenetic facies corresponding to the second rock sample with pore types of intergranular pores and intergranular dissolution pores, pore throat structures of bimodal or multimodal, and pore throat types of large throats and giant throats are taken as favorable petrophysical facies.
[0067] In this application, by conducting mercury intrusion porosimetry on the second rock sample to determine its pore throat structure and pore throat particle size, the accuracy of permeability assessment of the second rock sample can be improved. By determining the size of the pore throat particle size, different pore throat types can be identified, allowing for a more accurate depiction of the microstructure of the second rock sample. Furthermore, based on different pore throat types, the impact of the pore throat type on oil and gas storage and flow can be determined. In addition, by determining the pore type of the second rock sample through cast thin sections, the accuracy of identifying favorable rock physical phases with good oil and gas storage capacity can be effectively improved, thereby enhancing the accuracy of identifying true favorable reservoirs in thick bioclastic limestone reservoirs.
[0068] In this application, by comprehensively considering multiple microstructural features (pore type, pore throat structure, and pore throat type), specifically, such as... Figure 5 The diagram shows a schematic of the pore throat type of a favorable diagenetic facies in one embodiment of this application. This can effectively identify rock strata with good oil and gas storage capacity and good oil and gas flow properties in the favorable diagenetic facies, thereby improving the accuracy of judging the true favorable reservoirs in thick bioclastic limestone reservoirs.
[0069] In step 150 above, the determination of theoretically favorable reservoirs in the favorable petrophysical facies based on the deep lateral resistivity curve of the oil reservoir production well can be specifically performed according to steps 151 to 152 as follows:
[0070] Step 151: Determine the resistivity of the favorable rock physical phase based on the deep lateral resistivity curve.
[0071] Step 152: If the resistivity is greater than a preset resistivity threshold, then the favorable rock physical phase is regarded as a theoretically favorable reservoir.
[0072] In this application, the preset resistivity threshold can specifically be 100 Ω·m. Depending on actual needs, the preset resistivity threshold can also be 80 Ω·m or 120 Ω·m. This application does not make any specific limitation on this.
[0073] In this application, in favorable reservoirs rich in oil and gas, the resistivity of the favorable reservoir is also relatively high due to the poor electrical conductivity of the oil and gas. Therefore, the theoretical favorable reservoir in the favorable petrophysical phase can be determined by measuring the deep lateral resistivity curve. Specifically, for example... Figure 6 As shown, a resistivity diagram of a theoretically favorable reservoir is illustrated in one embodiment of this application. By incorporating the resistivity parameter, the accuracy of determining favorable reservoirs in the oil reservoir can be effectively improved.
[0074] In step 160 above, determining whether the theoretically favorable reservoir is a truly favorable reservoir based on the production logging data can be performed according to steps 161 to 163 as follows:
[0075] Step 161: Based on the production logging data, determine the daily production of the theoretically favorable reservoir per unit length, the cumulative production of the theoretically favorable reservoir, and the total production of the reservoir production wells.
[0076] Step 162: If the oil reservoir production well includes only one perforated section and the daily production is greater than the preset daily production, then the theoretically favorable reservoir is determined to be a real favorable reservoir.
[0077] Step 163: If the oil reservoir production well includes multiple perforated sections, and the ratio of the cumulative production to the total production is greater than a preset ratio, then the theoretically favorable reservoir is determined to be a real favorable reservoir.
[0078] In this application, the preset ratio can specifically be 80%, and the preset daily output can specifically be 200 barrels / day. Depending on actual needs, the preset daily output and the preset ratio can also be other parameters, and this application does not make specific limitations on them.
[0079] In this application, the daily production of the theoretically favorable reservoir per unit length, the cumulative production of the theoretically favorable reservoir, and the total production of the reservoir's production wells are determined using production logging data. Based on the daily production, the cumulative production, and the total production, it is determined whether the theoretically favorable reservoir is a truly favorable reservoir. The advantage is that verifying the theoretically favorable reservoir using actual production data can improve the accuracy of the verification results, i.e., improve the accuracy of the judgment of truly favorable reservoirs. In addition, different judgment criteria are established according to the different number of perforations in the reservoir's production wells, which can further improve the accuracy of the verification results, thereby improving the accuracy of the judgment of truly favorable reservoirs.
[0080] In the method for determining the true favorable reservoir of a thick bioclastic limestone reservoir proposed in this application, the method may further perform the following steps 170 to 180:
[0081] Step 170: Based on the seismic data, determine the characteristic seismic data of the true favorable reservoir.
[0082] Step 180: Based on the characteristic seismic data, determine the distribution of the actual favorable reservoir in the oil reservoir.
[0083] In this application, by acquiring seismic data of the reservoir and determining characteristic seismic data of the actual favorable reservoir based on the seismic data, the actual favorable reservoir can be correlated with the characteristic data in the seismic data to obtain characteristic seismic data. Therefore, based on the characteristic seismic data, the distribution of actual favorable reservoirs in non-oil well areas of the reservoir can be determined. Specifically, as shown below... Figure 7 The diagram illustrates the distribution of actual favorable reservoirs in a thick bioclastic limestone reservoir according to one embodiment of this application. This expands the scope of the judgment of the actual favorable reservoirs and provides more comprehensive and accurate information support for reservoir development.
[0084] Based on the technical solution proposed in this application, a multi-level and multi-angle analysis and screening method is adopted for the reservoir to gain a deeper understanding of its characteristics. First, the reservoir is divided into multiple third-order sequence layers using core grain size, seismic data, and gamma-ray logging curves. This allows for a comprehensive understanding of the reservoir's macroscopic geological characteristics, identifying favorable development intervals and providing a basis for subsequent screening and analysis. Second, favorable sedimentary facies are identified by analyzing the rock structure and grain type within these favorable development intervals, taking into account the influence of the sedimentary environment on favorable reservoir layers. Finally, the intensity of dissolution and cementation in the rocks of these favorable sedimentary facies is analyzed. The process involves several steps: first, determining favorable diagenetic facies; second, narrowing the distribution range of favorable reservoirs through diagenesis; third, identifying favorable petrophysical facies through pore-throat structure, pore-throat type, and pore type; and fourth, evaluating the reservoir properties of rocks through these factors, which effectively improves the accuracy of identifying truly favorable reservoirs. Finally, using deep lateral resistivity curves to determine theoretically favorable reservoirs, the likelihood of oil and gas content in these theoretically favorable reservoirs can be preliminarily assessed. Finally, production logging data is used to verify whether the theoretically favorable reservoirs are truly favorable reservoirs. Combining theoretical evaluation results with actual production performance effectively improves the accuracy of identifying truly favorable reservoirs.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
