Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article relates to the field of oil and gas exploration and development technology, and in particular to a method and device for identifying gas and water in tight water-bearing gas reservoirs. Background Technology

[0002] The exploration and development of tight water-bearing gas reservoirs is characterized by poor reservoir properties, strong intra- and inter-layer heterogeneity, underdeveloped source rocks, and limited resources. This results in some gas reservoirs being unsaturated during natural gas charging and lacking a unified gas-water interface. Consequently, in most reservoirs, the influence of the rock skeleton on resistivity is far greater than that of the fluid. The response characteristics of acoustic transit time, density, and compensated neutron curves are mostly skeletal information and not very sensitive to fluids. Therefore, it is common to see high-resistivity gas and water co-emerging and low-resistivity producing pure gas, making gas-water identification difficult.

[0003] In recent years, with the deepening of research on reservoir fluid identification, experimental methods and techniques have been continuously enriched and improved, resulting in many research achievements. However, judging from the current research status at home and abroad, there is still a lack of a systematic and comprehensive methodology to solve the problem of gas and water identification in water-bearing gas reservoirs with complex gas-water relationships. In tight water-bearing gas reservoirs, research on gas-water identification and evaluation technologies is still in the exploratory stage.

[0004] In view of this, this paper aims to provide a method and apparatus for identifying gas and water in tight water-bearing gas reservoirs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies, this paper aims to provide a method and apparatus for identifying gas and water in tight water-bearing gas reservoirs, thereby improving the accuracy of gas and water identification in existing technologies and providing reliable support for gas field exploration and development.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the specific technical solution presented in this paper is as follows:

[0007] Firstly, this paper provides a method for identifying gas and water in tight water-bearing gas reservoirs, including:

[0008] Obtain well logging curves and reservoir interpretation parameters of the target gas reservoir, including lithological parameters, electrical parameters, physical properties and gas-bearing parameters;

[0009] Based on the sedimentary environment, diagenetic conditions, lithological parameters, and physical properties of the target gas reservoir, the target gas reservoir is divided into at least one gas group.

[0010] Based on the electrical parameters, physical parameters, and gas-containing parameters, each gas group is divided into a pure gas layer region, a gas layer and a gas-water co-layer mixed region, a pure gas-water co-layer region, and the boundaries of each region.

[0011] Based on the well logging curves, the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixing zone are divided into two sub-zones to obtain the gas layer zone, the gas-water co-layer zone, and their boundaries.

[0012] Preferably, the lithological parameters include at least clay content, the electrical parameters include at least resistivity, the physical parameters include at least porosity, and the gas-bearing parameters include at least water saturation.

[0013] Furthermore, based on the electrical parameters, physical properties, and gas content parameters, each gas group is divided into a pure gas layer region, a gas layer and a gas-water co-layer mixed region, a pure gas-water co-layer region, and the boundaries of each region, including:

[0014] Based on the resistivity, porosity, and water saturation of the gas sampling points of each gas group, the first cross plot was drawn.

[0015] Based on the first intersection diagram, the pure gas layer region, the gas layer and gas-water co-layer mixed region, the pure gas-water co-layer region, and the boundaries of each region are obtained.

[0016] Preferably, before dividing each gas group into a pure gas layer region, a gas layer and a gas-water co-layer mixed region, a pure gas-water co-layer region, and the boundaries of each region based on the electrical parameters, the physical properties, and the gas content parameters, the method further includes:

[0017] Based on the resistivity and mud content of the gas sampling points of each gas group, a second cross plot was drawn.

[0018] Based on the second cross plot, the lithological boundaries of each gas group were determined;

[0019] When the lithological limit is less than or equal to a preset value, the gas group is determined to have development value and a first division step of the gas group is performed.

[0020] Specifically, the logging curves of the target gas reservoir include deep lateral resistivity curves and shallow lateral resistivity curves.

[0021] Furthermore, based on the well logging curves, the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixing zone are further divided to obtain the gas layer zone and the gas-water co-layer zone and their boundaries, including:

[0022] Calculate the difference between the deep lateral resistivity and the shallow lateral resistivity at each gas sampling point in the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixing zone;

[0023] Draw a third cross plot of the difference versus resistivity;

[0024] Based on the third intersection diagram, the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixing zone are divided a second time.

[0025] Furthermore, based on the third cross-plot, the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixing zone are further subdivided, including:

[0026] Based on the third intersection diagram, determine the threshold value for dividing the gas layer region and the gas-water co-layer region;

[0027] When the difference between the gas sampling points is less than the difference threshold, the gas sampling point is determined to correspond to the gas-water co-layer zone.

[0028] When the difference between the gas sampling points is greater than or equal to the difference threshold, the gas sampling point is determined to correspond to a gas layer region.

[0029] Secondly, this paper also provides a gas-water identification device for tight water-bearing gas reservoirs, comprising:

[0030] The acquisition module is used to acquire the logging curves and reservoir interpretation parameters of the target gas reservoir, including lithological parameters, electrical parameters, physical property parameters and gas-bearing parameters;

[0031] The gas group division module is used to divide the target gas reservoir into at least one gas group based on the sedimentary environment, diagenetic conditions, lithological parameters, and physical property parameters of the target gas reservoir.

[0032] The primary division module is used to divide each gas group into a pure gas layer region, a gas layer and gas-water co-layer mixed region, a pure gas-water co-layer region, and the boundaries of each region based on the electrical parameters, the physical parameters, and the gas content parameters.

[0033] The secondary division module divides the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixing zone into two layers based on the well logging curve, thereby obtaining the gas layer zone, the gas-water co-layer zone, and their boundaries.

[0034] Thirdly, this document also provides a computer device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the method provided by the above-described technical solution.

[0035] Fourthly, this document also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the method provided by the above-described technical solution.

[0036] Using the above technical solution, this paper provides a method and device for identifying gas and water in tight water-bearing gas reservoirs. It divides gas groups into different zones based on factors influencing gas formation, such as reservoir sedimentary environment and diagenetic conditions. Then, using the four properties of the reservoir, it divides the reservoir into pure gas zones, gas-water mixed zones, and pure gas-water co-layer zones. Finally, based on well logging curves, it further divides the gas zones and gas-water co-layer zones within the gas-water mixed zones, ultimately obtaining accurate boundaries between different fluid property ranges in the reservoir. This method is beneficial for improving the reliability of natural gas reserve calculations, rationally deploying exploration and development, reducing testing costs, and improving development economics. Furthermore, the method is simple, inexpensive, and can be used for the division of gas and water layers in any water-bearing gas reservoir.

[0072] Current technologies still lack a systematic and comprehensive method to solve the problem of gas and water identification in water-bearing gas reservoirs with complex gas-water relationships. As a result, research on gas and water identification and evaluation technologies in tight water-bearing gas reservoirs is still in the exploratory stage. To address the above issues, this paper provides a method and apparatus for gas and water identification in tight water-bearing gas reservoirs. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the steps of a method for identifying gas and water in a tight water-bearing gas reservoir provided in this embodiment. This specification provides the operational steps of the method described in the embodiments or flowcharts, but based on conventional or non-inventive labor, more or fewer operational steps may be included. The order of steps listed in the embodiments is merely one possible execution order among many and does not represent the only possible execution order. In actual system or device products, the methods shown in the embodiments or accompanying drawings can be executed sequentially or in parallel. Specifically, as shown in the embodiments or accompanying drawings... Figure 1 As shown, the method may include:

[0073] S110: Obtain the logging curves and reservoir interpretation parameters of the target gas reservoir, including lithological parameters, electrical parameters, physical parameters and gas-bearing parameters.

[0074] In the embodiments of this specification, the lithological parameters include at least clay content (Vsh); the electrical parameters include at least resistivity, specifically deep lateral resistivity (Rt); the physical properties include at least porosity (POR); and the gas-bearing parameters include at least water saturation (Sw), the range of which reflects the gas-bearing capacity of the reservoir. By obtaining the lithological, electrical, physical, and gas-bearing parameters of the target gas reservoir, the embodiments of this specification can be used to identify gas layers with industrial exploitation value, meeting industry standard requirements; and are easy to implement in production, with strong operability.

[0075] S120: Based on the sedimentary environment, diagenetic conditions, lithological parameters, and physical property parameters of the target gas reservoir, the target gas reservoir is divided into at least one gas group.

[0076] Due to factors such as sedimentary environment, diagenetic conditions, lithological parameters, physical properties, and natural gas migration distance, the boundaries of gas layers in different formations are different. If gas layers with different boundaries are uniformly divided into pure gas layer areas, gas-water co-layer areas, etc., it will lead to inaccurate gas layer division and reduce the economic efficiency of gas layer extraction.

[0077] For example, in the embodiments of this specification, a target gas reservoir is divided into gas group A and gas group B. It should be noted that the number of gas groups is related to the actual situation of the target gas reservoir.

[0078] S130: Based on the electrical parameters, physical parameters, and gas-containing parameters, each gas group is divided into a pure gas layer region, a gas layer and a gas-water co-layer mixed region, a pure gas-water co-layer region, and the boundaries of each region.

[0079] In the embodiments of this specification, a pure gas layer zone means that the area contains only industrial gas layers; a pure gas-water co-layer zone means that the area contains only industrial gas and water co-layers; and a mixed gas layer and gas-water co-layer zone means that the industrial gas layer and industrial gas-water co-layers are mixed together in the area. A pure gas layer zone is the optimal industrial producing layer, meaning it has the highest extraction value; the extraction value of a gas-water co-layer is lower than that of a pure gas layer zone. In addition, the reservoir environment may also include poor gas layers and water layers. Poor gas layers refer to layers where gas production does not reach industrial extraction value, while water layers indicate that the area is a water environment. The gas-water identification method for tight water-bearing gas reservoirs provided in the embodiments of this specification aims to clearly distinguish between pure gas layer zones, pure gas-water co-layer zones, and poor gas layer zones.

[0080] S140: Based on the well logging curve, the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixing zone are divided into two sub-zones to obtain the gas layer zone and the gas-water co-layer zone and their boundaries.

[0081] Step S140 involves further separating the mixed gas layer and gas-water co-layer regions obtained in step S130. Ultimately, this ensures that the gas layers and gas-water co-layers of each gas group are identified, facilitating natural gas reserve calculations, exploration and development deployment planning, reducing testing costs, and improving the economic efficiency of extraction.

[0082] This specification provides a gas-water identification method for tight water-bearing gas reservoirs. It divides gas groups based on factors influencing reservoir sedimentary environment and diagenetic conditions. Then, it performs a primary division of gas groups using reservoir properties (lithology, electrical properties, physical properties, and gas-bearing properties) and logging curves, followed by a secondary division of the gas layers and gas-water mixed zones obtained from the primary division. This method not only distinguishes between low-resistivity gas layers and high-resistivity water layers but also separates the gas and water layers within the mixed zones, significantly improving the logging interpretation accuracy. It has shown good application results in logging for gas reservoirs with complex gas-water relationships, providing strong support for the efficient development of tight gas reservoirs and offering important theoretical basis for the comprehensive adjustment and development planning of gas fields.

[0083] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, step S130: Based on the electrical parameters, physical properties, and gas content parameters, each gas group is divided into a pure gas layer region, a gas layer and a gas-water co-layer mixed region, a pure gas-water co-layer region, and the boundaries of each region. This may further include:

[0084] S210: Draw the first cross plot based on the resistivity, porosity and water saturation of the gas sampling points of each gas group.

[0085] In the embodiments of this specification, by analyzing each gas sampling point, it can be determined whether the reservoir fluid corresponding to the gas sampling point is a gas layer, a gas-water co-layer, a gas-water differential layer, or a water layer. Subsequently, the four properties parameters of these gas sampling points with known reservoir fluid properties are used to provide a basis for the first classification.

[0086] S220: Based on the first intersection diagram, the pure gas layer region, the gas layer and gas-water co-layer mixed region, the pure gas-water co-layer region, and the boundaries of each region are obtained.

[0087] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The figures shown are the first cross-plots of gas group A and gas group B, respectively. It can be seen that the parameters at the sampling points differ significantly between the different gas groups. In the figures, the horizontal axis represents porosity; the vertical axis represents deep lateral resistivity; and the diagonal line passing through the origin represents water saturation, with the slope of the line representing different levels of water saturation. From... Figure 3 and Figure 4As can be seen, some gas sampling points with reservoir fluid properties of gas layers agglomerate, which corresponds to pure gas layer areas; some gas sampling points with reservoir fluid properties of gas and water co-layers agglomerate, which corresponds to pure gas and water co-layer areas; and some gas sampling points with reservoir fluid properties of gas layers are mixed with some gas sampling points with reservoir fluid properties of gas and water co-layers, which corresponds to mixed gas layer and gas and water co-layer areas.

[0088] Therefore, based on the first cross-plot, the following can be determined: In Gas Group A, the boundary of the pure gas layer region is: POR ≥ 7%, Rt > 50 Ω·m and Sw ≤ 50%; the boundary of the pure gas-water co-layer region is: POR ≥ 7%, Rt ≥ 11 Ω·m, 60% ≥ Sw > 55%, or POR > 14%, 9 Ω·m ≤ Rt < 11 Ω·m, Sw ≤ 60%; and the boundary of the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixed region is: POR ≥ 7%, 11 Ω·m ≤ Rt ≤ 50 Ω·m, Sw ≤ 55%.

[0089] In Group B, the boundaries of the pure gas layer region are: POR ≥ 6%, Rt > 60 Ω·m, Sw ≤ 50%; the boundaries of the pure gas-water co-layer region are: POR ≥ 6%, Rt ≥ 16 Ω·m, 60% ≥ Sw > 55%; and the boundaries of the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixed region are: POR ≥ 6%, 16 Ω·m ≤ Rt ≤ 60 Ω·m, Sw ≤ 55%.

[0090] If we consider the gas sampling points in the pure gas layer zone and the pure gas-water co-layer zone as completely separated sampling points, and consider the mixed zone of pure gas layer and pure gas-water co-layer as only half-matched, then the logging interpretation consistency rate for gas group A is 40%, and the logging interpretation consistency rate for gas group B is only 35%. This logging interpretation consistency rate is insufficient to meet development needs. By dividing the gas groups, it can be seen that regardless of whether it is gas group A or gas group B, due to the existence of gas layers and mixed zones of gas and water, a considerable portion of the gas layers and gas-water co-layers cannot be separated, resulting in a low logging interpretation consistency rate (i.e., the degree of separation between the gas layers and gas-water co-layers, and between both and other layers).

[0091] like Figure 5 As shown, preferably, before step S130: dividing each gas group into a pure gas layer region, a gas layer and a gas-water co-layer mixed region, a pure gas-water co-layer region, and the boundaries of each region based on the electrical parameters, the physical properties, and the gas content parameters, the method further includes:

[0092] S510: Draw the second cross plot based on the resistivity and mud content of the gas sampling points of each gas group.

[0093] like Figure 6 and Figure 7The figures shown are the second cross plots of gas group A and gas group B, respectively. The horizontal axis represents resistivity, and the vertical axis represents clay content.

[0094] S520: Determine the lithological boundaries of each gas group based on the second cross plot.

[0095] like Figure 6 As shown, in Gas Group A, the maximum clay content at each gas sampling point in the gas layer and at each gas sampling point in the gas-water co-layer is 16%, meaning the lithological boundary of Gas Group A is Vsh≤16%. Similarly, in Gas Group B, the maximum clay content at each gas sampling point in the gas layer and at each gas sampling point in the gas-water co-layer is 14%, meaning the lithological boundary of Gas Group B is Vsh≤14%.

[0096] S530: When the lithological limit is less than or equal to a preset value, the gas group is determined to have development value and a first division step of the gas group is performed.

[0097] That is, if the lithological boundary of a gas group is greater than a preset value, the gas group is determined to have no development value, and there is no need to perform subsequent primary or secondary division of the gas group. It should be noted that the preset values ​​of the lithological boundary are not the same for different gas groups. In the embodiments of this specification, the lithological boundary Vsh≤16% for gas group A and Vsh≤14% for gas group B are exemplary.

[0098] Water avoidance is a crucial aspect of natural gas development. If gas-bearing and gas-water co-development occurs, recovery rates and economic benefits will be significantly reduced. Therefore, in the embodiments of this specification, the logging curves of the target gas reservoir include deep lateral resistivity curves (RLLD) and shallow lateral resistivity curves (RLLS), and as... Figure 8 As shown, based on the well logging curves, the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixing zone are divided into two sub-zones to obtain the gas layer zone and the gas-water co-layer zone and their boundaries. This can include the following steps:

[0099] S810: Calculate the difference between the deep lateral resistivity and the shallow lateral resistivity at each gas sampling point in the gas layer and the gas-water co-mixing zone.

[0100] This specification's embodiments, through observations of gas layers and gas-water co-layers, as well as gas layers and gas-water co-layers in the gas-water co-layer region, creatively reveal that: under a low natural gamma GR background, the main differences between gas layers and gas-water co-layers include: the resistivity of the gas layer at varying depths generally exhibits a decreasing resistance intrusion, i.e., RLLD > RLLS. Figure 9 As shown in the sixth section; the resistivity of the gas and water layers at different depths generally shows an increasing resistance intrusion, i.e., RLLD < RLLS, as... Figure 10 The sixth path in the text is shown.

[0101] Therefore, in the embodiments of this specification, the subtle differences in resistivity invasion characteristics at different depths during well logging interpretation are quantitatively expressed as ΔRt, where ΔRt = RLLD - RLLS. ΔRt is used as the basis for secondary division of the gas layer and the gas-water co-mixing zone.

[0102] S820: Draw a third cross plot of the difference versus resistivity.

[0103] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 The figures shown are the third cross-sectional diagrams of the gas layer and the gas-water co-mixing zone in gas group A and gas group B, respectively. Figure 11 and Figure 12 In the figure, the horizontal axis is ΔRt, and the vertical axis is Rt (deep lateral resistivity).

[0104] S830: Based on the third intersection diagram, the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixing zone are divided a second time.

[0105] The gas-water identification method for tight water-bearing gas reservoirs provided in this specification analyzes well logging curves, summarizes the characteristics that can characterize the differences in reservoir fluid properties between gas layers and gas-water co-layers, and transforms them into a quantitative characterization method. This allows for secondary separation of gas layers and gas-water co-layers in the gas layer and gas-water co-layer mixing zone, which can greatly improve the accuracy of well logging interpretation and provide a more accurate reference for reservoir development.

[0106] Further, S830: Based on the third cross-plot, the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixing zone are further divided, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0107] Based on the third intersection diagram, the difference threshold for dividing the gas layer region and the gas-water co-layer region is determined.

[0108] like Figure 11 As shown, in gas group A, the minimum difference between the deep lateral resistivity curve and the shallow lateral resistivity at each gas sampling point in the gas layer region is -0.3 Ω·m. Therefore, in gas group A, the boundary between the gas layer region and the gas-water co-layer region is ΔRt=-0.3Ω·m; similarly, as... Figure 12 As shown, in gas group B, the minimum difference between the gas sampling points in the gas layer region is -0.5Ω·m. Therefore, the boundary between the gas layer region and the gas-water co-layer region in gas group B is ΔRt=-0.5Ω·m.

[0109] It should be noted that, since gas layers are the best industrial production layers with the highest exploitation value, in the embodiments of this specification, it is preferred that the difference threshold be set to the difference in lateral resistivity between shallow and deep layers that can include all gas sampling points in all gas layer areas.

[0110] When the difference between the gas sampling points is less than the difference threshold, the gas sampling point is determined to correspond to the gas-water co-layer zone; and when the difference between the gas sampling points is greater than or equal to the difference threshold, the gas sampling point is determined to correspond to the gas layer zone.

[0111] In Group A, the boundary of the gas layer is ΔRt ≥ -0.3 Ω·m, and the boundary of the gas-water co-layer is ΔRt < -0.3 Ω·m; in Group B, the boundary of the gas layer is ΔRt ≥ -0.5 Ω·m, and the boundary of the gas-water co-layer is ΔRt < -0.5 Ω·m.

[0112] After secondary identification of the gas layer and the gas-water co-layer mixing zone, the logging interpretation accuracy of gas group A reached 93%, and that of gas group B reached 92%. Compared with the interpretation accuracy obtained without secondary classification, the logging interpretation accuracy of gas group A and gas group B increased by 53% and 57%, respectively.

[0113] Finally, the boundaries of the different fluid properties of the target reservoir gas layer are shown in Table 1.

[0114] Table 1

[0115]

[0116] In summary, the gas-water identification method for tight water-bearing gas reservoirs provided in this specification first divides the gas groups by factors influencing gas groups, such as reservoir sedimentary environment and diagenetic conditions. Then, using the four properties of the reservoir, it divides the pure gas layer zone, the gas layer and gas-water co-layer mixed zone, the pure gas-water co-layer zone, and the boundaries of each zone. Finally, based on the subtle differences in the intrusion characteristics of the lateral resistivity at varying depths, it further divides the gas layer zone and the gas-water co-layer zone within the gas layer and gas-water co-layer mixed zone, ultimately obtaining accurate boundaries of different fluid properties in the reservoir. This method is beneficial for improving the reliability of natural gas reserve calculations, rationally deploying exploration and development, reducing testing costs, and improving development economics.
