Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drilling technology, and specifically to a rapid interpretation method for fluid properties of sandstone reservoirs based on well logging gas logging data from development wells. Background Technology
[0002] The PLS-II logging tool is a logging instrument for rapid identification of oil and gas shows. Its chromatographic detection uses infrared gas detection, based on the principle that different molecules selectively absorb infrared radiation of different wavelengths. Recording the absorption of infrared light by molecules yields an infrared spectrum. Its measured parameters include methane parameter C1, heavy hydrocarbon parameter C2+, and the total hydrocarbon parameter Tg, which is the algebraic sum of methane parameter C1 and heavy hydrocarbon parameter C2+.
[0003] Traditional logging gas logging interpretation and evaluation charts are based on the ratio relationship between C1 and nC5. However, the PLS-II logging chromatograph can only analyze the methane parameter C1 and the heavy hydrocarbon parameter C2+. Therefore, establishing a gas logging interpretation and evaluation chart for PLS-II logging chromatographic data in development wells is very important in the logging interpretation and evaluation system, and it fills a gap in the interpretation and evaluation system of this type of chromatograph. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a rapid interpretation method for the fluid properties of sandstone reservoirs based on well logging and gas logging data from development wells. This method can quickly achieve a semi-quantitative interpretation of the fluid properties of reservoirs in a block, effectively solving the technical challenges posed by rapid drilling to conventional geology.

[0013] Take the maximum effective values of total hydrocarbon parameter Tg anomalies, methane parameter C1 anomalies, and heavy hydrocarbon parameter C2+ anomalies in the sandstone well section, and remove data affected by single connection and tripping in / out;
[0014] Abnormal well sections with gas measurement values greater than or equal to 2.0 times the baseline value and sandstone layer thickness greater than or equal to 0.5m were selected as reservoir well sections.

This invention has been applied to more than 20 wells in the Jianghan Oilfield, achieving a single-item accuracy rate of over 85% in identifying and evaluating oil, water, and dry layers, with an overall accuracy rate approaching 90%, demonstrating excellent application results.

[0035] Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of a rapid interpretation method for sandstone reservoir fluid properties based on well logging gas logging data provided in this application. For ease of explanation, only the parts relevant to this embodiment are shown, and are detailed below:
[0036] This invention utilizes the values of total hydrocarbon parameter Tg, methane parameter C1, and heavy hydrocarbon parameter C2+ measured by a well logging instrument in a development well. It calculates the heavy hydrocarbon amplification coefficient CnS = (C2+ outlier - C2+ baseline) / C2+ baseline and the light hydrocarbon amplification coefficient C1S = (C1 outlier - C1 baseline) / C1 baseline; then it calculates the heavy hydrocarbon contribution coefficient ZS = CnS / C1S. Based on the gas logging characteristic that higher reservoir energy corresponds to a greater increase in total hydrocarbons, the oil-bearing potential of the reservoir is judged by the magnitude of the total hydrocarbon growth. The higher the total hydrocarbon contribution, the better the oil-bearing potential of the reservoir. The total hydrocarbon contribution coefficient TS = total hydrocarbon change / total hydrocarbon baseline value.
[0037] Traditional well logging interpretation and evaluation charts are basically based on the ratio relationship between C1 and nC5. However, the PLS-II development well logging tool can only analyze the total hydrocarbon parameter Tg, methane parameter C1, and heavy hydrocarbon parameter C2+. It collects and records the values of the total hydrocarbon parameter Tg, methane parameter C1, and heavy hydrocarbon parameter C2+ in % dimension. The collection and recording step size is usually 1 point / m. By establishing interpretation charts, it can quickly achieve semi-quantitative interpretation of reservoir fluid properties.
[0038] The identification and specific evaluation steps are as follows:
[0039] 1) Collect and record total hydrocarbon parameters (Tg), methane parameters (C1), and heavy hydrocarbon parameters (C2+) using a well logging instrument;
[0040] 2) Select sandstone well sections with gas logging anomalies in total hydrocarbon parameter Tg, methane parameter C1, and heavy hydrocarbon parameter C2+. Select the total hydrocarbon parameter Tg, methane parameter C1, and heavy hydrocarbon parameter C2+ 5m to 10m above the sandstone layer and calculate the average value as the base value.
[0041] 3) Take the maximum effective values of total hydrocarbon anomalies, methane C1 anomalies, and heavy hydrocarbon C2+ anomalies in the sandstone well section, and remove data affected by single connection and tripping.
[0042] 4) Select abnormal well sections with gas measurement values greater than or equal to 2.0 times the base value and sandstone layer thickness greater than or equal to 0.5m as reservoir sections.
[0043] 5) Calculate the light hydrocarbon amplification coefficient C1S = (C1 outlier - C1 base value) / C1 base value; the heavy hydrocarbon amplification coefficient CnS = (C2 + outlier - C2 + base value) / C2 + base value; the heavy hydrocarbon contribution coefficient ZS = CnS / C1S;
[0044] 6) Based on the gas measurement characteristic that the higher the reservoir energy, the greater the increase in total hydrocarbons, the oil content of the reservoir is judged by the increase in total hydrocarbons. The higher the contribution of total hydrocarbons, the better the oil content of the reservoir. The total hydrocarbon contribution coefficient TS = change in total hydrocarbons / total hydrocarbon base value is calculated.
[0045] 7) Statistically analyze the data of oil layers, water layers, and dry layers verified by oil testing, and plot the data points on the total hydrocarbon contribution coefficient (TS) - heavy hydrocarbon contribution coefficient (ZS) chart. Based on the principles of data statistics, determine the boundaries to divide the chart into three regions: oil layer, water layer, and dry layer. Figure 2 As shown in the table below:
[0046]
[0047] 8) Place the data points in the total hydrocarbon contribution coefficient TS-heavy hydrocarbon contribution coefficient ZS chart. The area where the data points are located represents the corresponding fluid interpretation and evaluation results.
[0048] Example 1
[0049] This embodiment uses the present invention in the Qian 3 oilfield of Guanghua Oilfield. 3 The application of well A in the oil group development well will be explained.
[0050] Application of Well A: Stratum: Subsurface 3 3 The oil group contains 9 anomaly zones with a total thickness of 35.5m. These include 2 oil-bearing zones (13.5m thick), 5 dry zones (12.0m thick), and 2 water-bearing zones (5.0m thick). The total hydrocarbon contribution coefficient (THC) for the oil-bearing zone is 12.19-14.35, and for the dry zone it is 1.31-2.76. In the dry zone, the THC contribution coefficient is 0.20-0.76, and for the dry zone it is 0.13-1.64. In the water-bearing zone, the THC contribution coefficient is 1.24-1.28, and for the dry zone it is 0.56-0.71. Based on the evaluation criteria of the TS-ZS chart (total hydrocarbon contribution coefficient - heavy hydrocarbon contribution coefficient), the results conform to the characteristics of oil-bearing, dry, and water-bearing zones. The point selection is good and consistent with well logging interpretation and testing results. Figure 3 As shown.
[0051] Example 2
[0052] This embodiment uses the present invention in the Qian 3 oilfield of Guanghua Oilfield. 3 The application of well B in the oil group development well will be explained.
[0053] Application of Well B: Stratum: Subsurface 3 3 The oil group contains 11 anomaly zones, totaling 30.0m in thickness. These include one oil-bearing zone (5.0m thick), six dry zones (13.0m thick), and four water-bearing zones (12.0m thick). The total hydrocarbon contribution coefficient (THC) for the oil-bearing zone is 1.78, and for the heavy hydrocarbons, it is 1.09. For the dry zones, the THC contribution coefficient ranges from 0.32 to 1.00, and for the heavy hydrocarbons, it ranges from 0.52 to 2.53. For the water-bearing zones, the THC contribution coefficient ranges from 1.66 to 14.55, and for the heavy hydrocarbons, it ranges from 0.27 to 0.60. Based on the evaluation criteria of the TS-ZS chart (total hydrocarbon contribution coefficient - heavy hydrocarbon contribution coefficient), the results conform to the characteristics of oil-bearing, dry, and water-bearing zones. The point selection is good and consistent with well logging interpretation and testing results. Figure 4 As shown.
