Then, in accordance with the reservoir classification standard of physical property quality index, the corresponding reservoir porosity and permeability interpretation model is selected according to the category to predict the physical property parameters of low-permeability reservoirs for the whole well.

[0073] In this embodiment, based on the reservoir porosity-permeability interpretation model and the physical property quality index interpretation model established by classification, the physical property parameters of low-permeability reservoirs are predicted, mainly including:

[0074] Based on the physical property quality index interpretation model, the physical property quality of a single well is calculated.

This achieves the purpose of optimizing the logging permeability calculation of the target layer and improves the accuracy of the physical property interpretation model.

[0075] This invention also provides a method for predicting the physical properties of low-permeability reservoirs, mainly including the following steps:

[0076] Step 1: Use the characteristics of the capillary pressure curve of the core well to classify low-permeability reservoirs in a direct and effective manner;

[0081] Step Six: Using the interpretation model of physical properties and the reservoir porosity and permeability interpretation model established by classification, complete the accurate prediction and calculation of physical property parameters of low-permeability reservoir blocks.

[0082] This invention also provides an example of a method for predicting the physical properties of low-permeability reservoirs, as detailed below.

[0083] The sandstone reservoir in a certain block has poor physical properties, with an overall medium porosity and low permeability level. The pore structure is complex and variable, and the relationship between porosity and permeability is poor. Therefore, accurately finding reservoirs with better physical properties is the key to finding favorable target areas.

[0084] Step 1: This area mainly develops sandstone and conglomerate reservoirs with poor physical properties and an average permeability of 90 × 10⁻⁶. -3 μm 2 Based on the capillary pressure curve characteristic data analysis of four core wells, the reservoirs are divided into three categories: I, II, and III. Category I has low displacement pressure, concentrated pore throat distribution, coarse pore throat, and moderate sorting. Category II has medium displacement pressure, relatively concentrated pore throat distribution, coarser pore throat, and poor sorting. Category III has high displacement pressure, fine pore throat, and poor sorting.

[0085] Step 2: Define and calculate the physical property quality index for the three types of reservoirs, classify them, and establish reservoir porosity and permeability interpretation models for each category.

[0090] Where K is the measured permeability of the core sample, in units of 10. -3 μm 2 Φ represents the measured porosity of the core sample, in %; Vsh represents the clay content, in %.

[0091] Next, correlation analysis will be performed between the physical property quality index and the well logging curve, followed by fitting, to establish an interpretation model for the physical property quality index, which mainly includes:

[0092] R = 0.7 × e 0.035×RT -0.0007×e 0.02×AC -0.631×GR 2 -1.047×GR+1

[0093] Where R is the physical property quality index; RT is the resistivity curve, in Ω·m; AC is the acoustic transit time curve, in μs / m; and GR is the natural gamma curve, in API.

[0094] Step 3: Based on the reservoir porosity-permeability interpretation model and physical property quality index interpretation model established by classification, predict the physical property parameters of low-permeability reservoirs. Substitute the obtained physical property quality indices of each well into the corresponding category's physical property quality interpretation model to obtain the predicted permeability values ​​for each well. After calculation, as follows... Figure 3 In an example of a method for predicting the physical properties of low-permeability reservoirs according to an embodiment of the present invention, the relationship between calculated permeability and measured permeability is shown in the graph and Table 2, which is a permeability error analysis table. The average relative error between the measured permeability data and the predicted permeability data calculated by the model is only 20%.
