Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration, and particularly to a method for identifying the migration direction of overpressure fluids by using the evolution rate of pressure gradient. Background Art
[0002] Overpressure develops in oil and gas bearing basins worldwide. As one of the main driving forces for oil and gas migration, the evolution rate of overpressure over time can directly characterize the strength of the driving force for oil and gas migration, thus indicating the direction of oil and gas migration. Currently, the commonly used overpressure characterization parameters are the current pressure coefficient, residual pressure, paleo-pressure, and current pressure gradient. However, these three parameters can only represent the strength of a point relative to hydrostatic pressure at a certain time point, and the current pressure gradient can only characterize the change in the strength of the driving force for oil and gas migration in a certain direction under the current burial state. There are certain limitations in the study of the dynamic evolution during the oil and gas migration process.
[0003] In the Chinese patent application with the application number: CN201810623559.8, a method for indicating the preferential migration direction of oil and gas by using pressure structure is involved. The specific steps are as follows: S1. Collect and sort out the geological data, logging data, mud logging data, and testing data of the study area; S2. Combine the mud logging and logging data of the study area, select a pressure prediction method to predict the formation pressure, and establish the vertical pressure distribution characteristics of a single well; S3. Divide the pressure structure morphology types through the morphological characteristics of the pressure structure, the overpressure amplitude of the pressure structure, and the change characteristics of the top and bottom boundaries of the pressure structure; S4. Calculate the top interface pressure gradient and the bottom interface pressure gradient; S5. Determine the morphology type of the pressure structure, and combine the pressure gradient calculation and the oil and gas distribution characteristics to clarify the preferential migration direction of oil and gas and the minimum pressure gradient for oil and gas preservation. This method is based on the current single-well pressure structure and can only indicate the vertical migration and enrichment of oil and gas in a single well. After the generation of overpressure oil and gas in the actual geological body, there is not only vertical migration, but also migration in all directions through connected sand bodies, transfer faults, and unconformities. Therefore, this patent has certain limitations in predicting the spatial migration direction and enrichment law of oil and gas.
[0004] In the Chinese patent application with the application number: CN201810622505.X, a method for calculating the pressure decay gradient is involved. The specific steps are as follows: S1. Collect and sort out the geological data, mud logging data, logging data, and well testing data of the study area; S2. Predict the mudstone pressure in the study area by using the Eaton method and the equivalent depth method, and correct it with the measured pressure; S3. Draw the pressure coefficient isolines according to the predicted formation pressure value, combined with the geological structure, sedimentary facies distribution characteristics, and fault development situation in the study area; S4. Establish different pressure decay gradient calculation models, and calculate the pressure decay gradient according to different pressure decay gradient calculation models.
[0005] In the Chinese patent application with the application number CN201410261645.0, a method and device for predicting the range of oil and gas migration and accumulation are involved. The method includes: obtaining the data of the bottom surface morphology of the cap rock, the distribution data of reservoir sand bodies, and the hydrodynamic data of the study area based on geological stratification, geological logging, and formation pressure test data; normalizing the data of the bottom surface morphology of the cap rock, the distribution data of reservoir sand bodies, and the hydrodynamic data; determining the weight coefficients of the normalized data of the bottom surface morphology of the cap rock, the distribution data of reservoir sand bodies, and the hydrodynamic data according to the degree of influence on the oil and gas migration in the study area; determining the normalized fluid potential of the study area according to the normalized data of the bottom surface morphology of the cap rock, the distribution data of reservoir sand bodies, and the hydrodynamic data and the weight coefficients; and predicting the range of oil and gas migration and accumulation in the study area based on the normalized fluid potential.
[0006] All of the above prior arts are quite different from the present invention and fail to solve the technical problems we want to solve. Therefore, we have invented a new method for identifying the migration direction of overpressure fluids by using the evolution rate of pressure gradient. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The object of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical measures: A method for identifying the migration direction of overpressure fluids by using the evolution rate of pressure gradient, which includes:
[0009] Step 1: Calculate the duration of each key event according to the key geological event stage.
[0010] Step 2: Predict the current formation pressure by using the Eaton method.
[0011] Step 3: Restore the paleo-pressure.
[0012] Step 4: Divide the pressure structure of each key geological event stage according to the paleo-pressure restoration result.
[0013] Step 5: Calculate the pressure gradient of the overpressure top seal layer and the pressure gradient of the overpressure bottom seal layer.
[0014] Step 6: Calculate the evolution rate of each pressure gradient.
[0015] Step 7: Compare the magnitudes of the evolution rates of each pressure gradient, and the direction with the maximum evolution rate of pressure gradient is the pressure migration direction.
[0016] The object of the present invention can also be achieved by the following technical measures:
[0017] In Step 1, collect the data of paleogeotemperature, paleoheat flow value, developed strata and their sedimentation time in the study area, divide the key geological event stages such as the formation uplift period, subsidence period and hydrocarbon generation period according to the burial history, and calculate the duration of each key event.
[0018] In Step 2, collect the data of well logging, borehole diameter, acoustic time difference, formation layering, repeated formation test pressure RFT, drillstem test pressure DST in the study area. Fit the normal compaction trend lines of acoustic time difference and formation density according to the acoustic time difference data of shallow normally compacted formations; remove the abnormal acoustic time difference data affected by hole enlargement according to the borehole diameter data, and then screen out the acoustic time difference data of mudstones with a thickness exceeding 5m according to the well logging data. Substitute the data into the Eaton formula to predict the current pressure of the entire well section of a single well, and use the measured pressure data of repeated formation test pressure RFT or drillstem test pressure DST for correction.
[0019] In Step 2, the Eaton formula is:
[0020]
[0021] In the formula, P ---- current pressure, Ma
[0022] σ 上覆 ----- overburden pressure, MPa;
[0023] P 静水 ----- hydrostatic pressure, MPa;

[0029] In Step 5, according to the pressure structure in Step 4, divide the pressure structures of each key geological history event period and identify the overpressure top seal layer and overpressure bottom seal layer. Read the top seal layer thickness H T , unit m, and the corresponding pressure difference ΔP T , unit MPa, bottom seal layer thickness H B , unit m, and the corresponding pressure difference ΔP B , unit MPa, calculate the overpressure top seal layer GPT , in units of MPa·m -1 and the overpressure bottom seal layer pressure gradient GP B , in units of MPa·m -1 .
[0030] In step 5, calculate the overpressure top seal layer GP T and the overpressure bottom seal layer pressure gradient GP B using the formula:
[0031]
[0032]
[0033] In step 6, calculate the evolution rate of the overpressure top seal layer pressure gradient of a single well, the evolution rate of the overpressure bottom seal layer pressure gradient, and the evolution rate of the overpressure top and bottom seal layer pressure gradients between adjacent wells near key geological historical events respectively.
[0034] In step 6, calculate the evolution rate of the overpressure top seal layer pressure gradient GP Ti , in units of (MPa·m -1 ) / Ma, the evolution rate of the overpressure bottom seal layer pressure gradient GP Ti , in units of (MPa·m -1 ) / Ma, and the evolution rate of the top seal layer pressure gradient GP NTi , in units of (MPa·m -1 ) / Ma and the evolution rate of the overpressure bottom seal layer pressure gradient GP NBi , in units of (MPa·m -1 ) / Ma between the adjacent A and B wells on the left and right sides;
[0035]
[0036]
[0037]
[0038]
[0039] In the formula, GP T is the overpressure top seal layer, in units of MPa·m -1 ,
[0040] GP B is the overpressure bottom seal layer pressure gradient, in units of MPa·m -1 ; Ti is the difference in adjacent geological historical events, in units of Ma,
[0041] P AT,The pressure value of the top seal layer of Well A, unit: MPa,
[0042] P BT ,The pressure value of the top seal layer between Well Bs, unit: MPa,
[0043] P AB ,The pressure value of the bottom seal layer of Well A, unit: MPa,
[0044] P BB ,The pressure value of the bottom seal layer between Well Bs, unit: MPa.
[0045] In step 6, compare GP Ti 、GP Ti 、GP NTi and GP NBi in terms of size. The direction with the largest pressure decay gradient is the pressure migration direction.
[0046] The method for identifying the overpressure fluid migration direction by using the pressure gradient evolution rate in the present invention not only considers the current pressure gradients of the top and bottom interfaces of a single well, but also compares the magnitudes of the top and bottom interfaces of a single well at different geological burial times and the magnitudes of the pressure gradient evolution rates among multiple wells within the spatial range. It can more intuitively and effectively quantitatively characterize the strength change of the oil and gas migration force in the space-time range, thereby effectively judging the direction of the strong oil and gas migration force and more effectively predicting the oil and gas enrichment law in the overpressure hydrocarbon-bearing basin.
