AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for studying pore evolution in tight sandstone reservoirs suffer from problems such as vague qualitative calculations, large errors in cement filling, and weak research on the influence of different diagenetic stages. This leads to large errors in the quantitative calculation of pores, especially in deep tight sandstone reservoirs with underdeveloped fractures, making it difficult to accurately predict the reservoir's storage potential.
By combining experimental methods such as reservoir powder particle size analysis, X-ray diffraction, physical property testing, rock thin sections, and scanning electron microscopy, along with reservoir diagenesis studies and burial history, a quantitative evolution model of porosity in deep tight sandstone reservoirs was established. By clarifying the diagenetic stage and hydrocarbon charging history, porosity at different depths was calculated.
It reduces pore evolution error and can better analyze the pore evolution process of deep tight sandstone reservoirs with large burial depth, poor physical properties, and complex diagenesis, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of porosity calculation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for calculating the quantitative evolution of porosity in tight sandstone reservoirs with undeveloped fractures. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the increasing demand for natural gas energy in my country, tight gas has gradually attracted attention. However, due to the long diagenetic processes (compaction, cementation, and dissolution) that have occurred in deep tight reservoirs, the rock fragments are in close contact, and the pores are mostly filled with cement, resulting in reduced porosity and a generally poor pore structure, making research extremely difficult. Since pores serve as the space for reservoir oil and gas storage, their development level determines the reservoir's oil and gas storage potential and greatly influences the development characteristics of tight sandstone "sweet spots," making it a key focus of oil and gas exploration and development both domestically and internationally in recent years.
[0003] Current exploration and development research suggests that tight reservoirs generally have well-developed fractures, which significantly improve the reservoir's pore structure and are of great importance for its exploration and development. However, in the deep stratigraphic exploration and development of basins along the eastern coast of China, tight sandstone reservoirs contain relatively abundant natural gas reserves. These reservoirs are dominated by intergranular and intragranular pores with relatively poor connectivity, and fractures are not well-developed, making research more challenging. Therefore, strengthening the quantitative evolution study of porosity in tight reservoirs is a key focus for the exploration and development of this type of reservoir, and it has important guiding significance for predicting the "sweet spots" of such tight reservoirs.
[0004] Existing methods for studying pore evolution mainly rely on the "inversion stripping method" to establish a quantitative calculation method for pore depth based on the diagenetic evolution sequence of reservoirs. The main problems are: (1) Most scholars still rely on simple qualitative calculations when using this method, resulting in relatively vague calculation results; (2) This calculation method treats all cement-filled pores as dissolution pores or primary pores, leading to errors in the inversion of reservoir dissolution intensity; (3) The quantitative influence of different cements at different diagenetic stages on reservoir pores is relatively weak. Therefore, this patent, based on the improved "inversion stripping method," systematically studies the quantitative evolution of pores in deep tight sandstone reservoirs, taking into account the diagenetic evolution sequence, burial history, hydrocarbon charging history, and late-stage kaolinite transformation. The overall effect is better. Summary of the Invention

[0082] Example
[0083] Step 1: Data Collection
[0084] First, a literature review was conducted to clarify the regional geological background, tectonic setting, stratigraphic and sedimentary characteristics, reservoir diagenetic characteristics, and burial history of the study area. Second, relevant data for quantitative porosity evolution calculations were collected, including [data missing]. Based on the above data, quantitative parameters related to porosity evolution were statistically analyzed, including the Φ values corresponding to cumulative particle content of 84%, 16%, 95%, and 5% on the cumulative particle size curve (Φ...). 84 Φ 16 Φ 95 And Φ5 value, powder particle size); porosity ( Physical property tests); calcareous cement content (W2, ordinary thin section of rock); siliceous cement content (W3, ordinary thin section of rock); clay matrix content (W n (Ordinary thin sections of rock); Total porosity ( Rock casting thin sections; mold porosity ( Rock casting thin sections); intragranular porosity ( Rock casting thin sections); primary intergranular porosity ( Rock casting thin sections); intergranular dissolution porosity ( Rock casting thin sections); Total clay content (W) x X-ray diffraction (C, X-ray diffraction); relative chlorite content c (C, X-ray diffraction); relative illite content (I, X-ray diffraction); relative illite-montmorillonite mixed-layer content (I, X-ray diffraction) S (X diffraction); relative kaolinite content K (K, X diffraction).
[0085] Step 2: Reservoir diagenetic evolution stages, types of diagenesis, and the relationship between different diagenetic stages;
[0086] Based on reservoir X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ordinary thin sections of rocks, thin sections of rock castings, Ro (vitrinite reflectance), and other data, combined with the mineral composition, grain contact relationships, cement occurrence and mutual filling relationships, replacement relationships between authigenic minerals, and dissolution characteristics of clastic reservoirs, this study clarifies the current diagenetic stage of the reservoir, the main types of diagenetic processes it has undergone, and the chronological order of different diagenetic processes. Combined with burial history simulation results and analysis of hydrocarbon charging periods, the study determines the approximate depth range corresponding to different diagenetic periods, providing a basis for the quantitative evolution of reservoir porosity at different stages.
[0087] Step 3: Initial porosity calculation;
[0088] Based on particle size analysis data, the initial porosity was calculated using the empirical formula for initial porosity established by Beard and Weyl, and the Folk sorting coefficient was used.
[0089]
[0090] S o =(Φ 84 +Φ 16 ) / 4+(Φ 95 +Φ5) / 6.6=1.45
[0091] In the formula, S represents the initial porosity. o Φ is the sorting coefficient (1.45); 84 (3.875), Φ 16 (1.387), Φ 95 (6.5) and Φ5(1.02) are the Φ values corresponding to the cumulative particle content at 84%, 16%, 95% and 5% on the cumulative particle size curve, respectively;
[0092] The sorting coefficient S is obtained through the above calculations. o =1.45, the calculated initial porosity is 36.7%. When the reservoir has well-developed intercrystalline calcite, the compaction effect is extremely weak, which can better reflect the original porosity content of the reservoir. Statistical analysis of such thin sections using ImageJ software suggests that the initial porosity of the reservoir is approximately 36.15%.
[0093] Calculation error = abs(calculation result - thin section identification result) / thin section identification result × 100% = 1.52%;
[0094] Step 4: Calculate the total porosity loss due to compaction;
[0095] At a certain burial depth, the porosity remaining after compaction exhibits an exponential relationship with depth. The remaining primary porosity after compaction is:
[0096]
[0097] Step 5: Calculation of total porosity loss due to cementation by calcareous, siliceous, and clay elements;
[0098] Based on ordinary thin sections and X-ray diffraction, quantitative statistics were performed on different interstitial materials (calcareous, siliceous, argillaceous matrix, and different clays, etc.). The statistical contents of calcareous and siliceous cement components were approximated as the volume of cement porosity reduction, and denoted as W2 and W3, respectively. The statistical contents of argillaceous matrix identified in thin sections and the total clay content tested by X-ray diffraction were approximated as the argillaceous content and the current total clay content during the reservoir deposition period, respectively. The porosity reduction of different clay cements of different diagenetic origins was calculated.
[0099]
[0100] In the formula, W1 represents the porosity reduction of the diagenetic clay cement (8.15%); W xThe total clay content (all clay minerals, including diagenetic and sedimentary matrix, 11.13%) is determined by X-ray diffraction; W n c represents the content of argillaceous matrix identified in the thin section (sedimentary origin, 2.98%); c represents the relative content of chlorite in the X-ray diffraction (24.8%); I represents the relative content of illite in the X-ray diffraction (37%); I S λ represents the relative content of illite-montmorillonite mixed layers in X-ray diffraction (34%); K represents the relative content of kaolinite in X-ray diffraction (4.2%); W represents the relative content of kaolinite in X-ray diffraction (4.2%). (C) Chlorite reduces porosity; W (I) The reduced porosity of illite; Reduced porosity of the monazite-saturated mixed layer; W (K) The reduced porosity of kaolinite; Reduced porosity for all cementitious materials;
[0101] Step 6: Calculation of the total porosity increase due to dissolution;
[0102] Based on the statistical analysis of thin sections of rock castings, the porosity of different pore types was calculated, and combined with physical property test data, the porosity of different pore types was determined. Simultaneously, K (relative content of dissolution porosity) was introduced, and based on K, primary and secondary pores (dissolution pores) in intergranular dissolution pores, as well as primary and secondary pores occupied by cement, were distinguished to obtain the porosity increased by dissolution.
[0103]
[0104] In the formula, k represents the relative content of dissolution porosity; The porosity of the etched pores; The overall face rate was 3.9%. The porosity of the mold holes is 0.48%. The intragranular porosity was 1.42%. The porosity of the primary intergranular pores is 0.85%. The intergranular dissolved pore porosity (including primary and secondary pores, 1.15%); Increased porosity for dissolution; The porosity was measured as 8.43% for physical property testing.
[0105] Step 7: Pore reduction adjustment in the later stage of kaolinite transformation;
[0106] Based on a clear understanding of the current diagenetic stage of the reservoir, when the current diagenetic stage is before the end of the intermediate diagenetic A stage, the transformation of kaolinite into other clay minerals is not considered; when it is after the end of the intermediate diagenetic A stage, due to the change of the diagenetic environment from acidic to alkaline, the transformation of kaolinite into other clay minerals results in a lower content. Using the current kaolinite content as a constraint (W1), the chlorite and illite formed after the transformation of kaolinite into other clay minerals are taken as the total amount of kaolinite transformation.
[0107]
[0108]
[0109] W (K,转) This represents the kaolinite content at the point where kaolinite begins to transform into other clay minerals; W (c,转) W represents the amount of chlorite cementation after kaolinite begins to transform into other clay minerals. (I,转) Z′ represents the amount of illite cementation after kaolinite begins to transform into other clay minerals. (c,转) Z represents the total thickness of the depth segment corresponding to the period of chlorite cementation when kaolinite begins to transform into other clay minerals; (c) Z′ represents the total thickness of the depth segment corresponding to the chlorite cementation period throughout the entire evolutionary stage. (I,转) Z represents the total thickness of the depth segment corresponding to the illite cementation period when kaolinite begins to transform into other clay minerals; (I) The total thickness of the depth segment corresponding to the illite cementation period throughout the entire evolutionary stage.
[0110] Step 8: Quantitative calculation of porosity evolution based on the sequence of different diagenetic periods
[0111] Based on the above research, since the dissolution of cement is relatively small after its formation, the later-stage dissolution of cement is not considered. Because oil and gas charging provides a large amount of organic acidic fluids for the dissolution of reservoir clastic components, the reservoir dissolution period is divided into weak dissolution and strong dissolution periods according to the oil and gas charging time. The porosity increase during the weak dissolution period is calculated by dissolving and allocating 0.5 times the average porosity increase based on depth. Finally, constrained by the depth range corresponding to different diagenetic stages, a quantitative calculation method for reservoir porosity evolution is established based on the idea of allocating porosity increase / decrease based on depth.

[0113]
[0114] The calculation result is:
[0115]
[0116] Porosity calculation error
[0117] =abs(Current porosity - Physical property porosity) / Physical property porosity × 100%
[0118] =abs(8.47%-8.43%) / 8.43%=0.5%;
[0119] Original hole calculation error
[0120] =abs(Current primary porosity - Primary porosity of physical property porosity) / Primary porosity of physical property porosity × 100%
[0121] =abs[(initial porosity - compaction porosity reduction - (1-K) × current total cement content) - (physical property porosity × (1-K))] / (physical property porosity × (1-K)) × 100%
[0122] =abs[(36.7%-29.82%-(1-0.69)×13.53%)-(8.43%×(1-0.69))] / (8.43%×(1-0.69))×100%
[0123] =2.74%;
[0124] Error in calculation of dissolution holes
[0125] =abs(calculated current dissolution porosity - dissolution porosity of physical property porosity) / dissolution porosity of physical property porosity × 100%
[0126] =abs[(Total porosity from dissolution - K × Total amount of current cement) - Porosity of physical properties × K] / (Porosity of physical properties × K) × 100%
[0127] =abs[(15.14%-0.69×13.53%)-8.43%×0.69] / (8.43%×0.69)×100%=0.55%;
