Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method, apparatus, and medium for predicting sweet spots in tight reservoirs based on sediment transport system theory, belonging to the field of petroleum exploration. Background Technology
[0002] There are two main challenges in evaluating and predicting tight reservoirs at sea based on sparse well networks: first, the well-seismic response of sand bodies under strong compaction conditions is unclear, making it difficult to accurately characterize sand body boundaries; second, the amount of diagenetic analysis data is limited, making it difficult to predict sweet spots. Traditional methods for characterizing sand bodies based on a combination of well and seismic analysis have high ambiguity, making it difficult to improve the accuracy of sweet spot prediction for tight reservoirs at sea.
[0003] Sweet spot prediction is a key technology in the field of oil and gas geology. Traditional characterization methods are mainly based on geophysical responses and lack sedimentary model guidance, resulting in many ambiguities. In addition, there is a lack of differentiated and quantitative characterization methods for sweet spot prediction of reservoirs with different sedimentary backgrounds, which cannot provide sweet spot boundaries with different confidence intervals to guide the scientific and efficient development of offshore tight reservoir oil and gas resources. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to establish a quantitative sweet spot prediction method that integrates sedimentary models. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for predicting sweet spots in tight reservoirs based on sediment transport system theory. Based on the progressive laws governing marine clastic particle transport, this method utilizes sediment transport system theory and starts from a statistical function model of particle transport. A cutoff function is used to divide the process into levels to determine the confidence interval of the sweet spot boundary. Simultaneously, an adjustment function is established by combining diagenetic stages and infill components to correct the sweet spot boundary.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0090] like Figure 1 As shown, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for predicting sweet spots in tight reservoirs based on sediment transport system theory, including the following steps:
[0091] S1. Constructing a statistical model
[0092] During the transport of clastic sediments, reservoir parameters (including grain size, interstitial material or matrix content, etc.) gradually decrease with increasing transport distance. However, the corresponding patterns differ for sedimentary systems with different grain size ranges and tectonic settings (topographic slope). Therefore, this invention classifies sedimentary systems into two types based on different grain size ranges: coarse-grained and fine-grained. ① According to the theory of sedimentary transport systems, the cumulative grain size probability curve within a single sampling point in a coarse-grained sedimentary system conforms to a Pareto distribution, and the transport distance is directly proportional to the morphological parameters of the cumulative probability distribution curve. ② According to the theory of sedimentary transport systems, the cumulative grain size probability curve within a single sampling point in a fine-grained sedimentary system conforms to a Weibull distribution or a Log-normal distribution, and the transport distance is directly proportional to the morphological parameters of the cumulative probability distribution curve. Based on this, quantitative calculation formulas for grain size, interstitial material or matrix content, and transport distance are established, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 .
[0093] Clastic tight reservoirs are classified into two types based on their average grain size range: coarse-grained sedimentary systems (including alluvial fans, fan deltas, braided rivers, etc.) and fine-grained sedimentary systems (meandering rivers, deltas, and their fine-grained sediments). A statistical calculation model is established based on the variation of reservoir parameters (including grain size, interstitial material or matrix content, etc.) with transport distance in modern sediments.

[0102]
[0103] ω is the correction value for the fitting parameters, which is related to the sediment supply rate and topographic slope.
[0104] Furthermore, based on the detrital particle filling process, the proportion of interstitial material or matrix is determined by the particle size. cumulative distribution function If the proportion of interstitial material or matrix at the initial transport point m0 is set to C0, then m i Formula (5) for calculating the proportion of interstitial material or matrix at the location:

[0108] S1-2-1. For fine-grained sedimentary systems with long transport distances and large depositional extents, such as fluvial and deltaic deposits, the cumulative statistical model of the Weibull distribution is suitable:
[0109]
[0110] in Let be the average particle size, and β be the morphological index in the Weibull distribution, reflecting the amplitude of the cumulative probability curve. The cumulative probabilities of particle sizes at x1% and x2% are calculated respectively. and Substituting into formula (6) yields the morphological index.

[0113]
[0114] Combining (6) to (8), we solve the problem together, setting the initial average particle size at the initial transport point m0 as M0. Regarding the relationship between particle size and transport distance m... i The calculation formula (9) and the calculation formula (10) for the proportion of interstitial material or matrix are as follows:

[0133] S2, Forward Fit Correction Statistical Model
[0134] Under different tectonic and sediment supply backgrounds, the fit of the KS test varies greatly, so it is necessary to combine the sedimentary forward modeling to correct the quantitative statistical model.
[0135] The statistical parameter models (4)~(5), (9)~(10) and (16)~(17) have correction values for the fitting parameters. This invention uses a sedimentary forward modeling method for fitting. The simulation results under the same sedimentary background are used to fit the ω value.
[0136] Forward modeling selects numerical simulation methods; the simulation methods and results are described in [link to documentation]. Figure 3 The forward modeling conditions were set in accordance with the actual research area, and the sedimentary simulation parameters involved are shown in Table 1. In the simulation process, the terrain slope can be obtained by interpreting the 3D seismic data and then correcting for decompaction and deerosion; the sediment supply rate can be calculated based on the single-well formation thickness and sedimentary age; the water flow direction and the critical angle for instability and collapse are set separately according to the sedimentary background.

[0142] ③ Use the KS test and adjust the ω value to make it meet the goodness-of-fit test.
[0143] S3. Construct a calibration chart to further calibrate the statistical model.
[0144] Based on the compaction origin, coarse-grained sedimentary systems and fine-grained sedimentary systems were sequentially calibrated using plates ( Figure 4 Formulas (18) and (20) determine the degree of compaction and cementation, and substitute them into formulas (19), (21), and (22) respectively to calculate the porosity and permeability parameters. Among them, the porosity reduction rate (COPL) caused by compaction and the porosity reduction rate (CEPL) caused by cementation can be obtained from the observation and statistics of thin sections from the core well. The permeability is obtained by solving the porosity and permeability fitting formula in the work area.
[0145] ① In coarse-grained sedimentary systems, the densification of tight reservoirs is mostly caused by the reduction of porosity due to cementation after sedimentary particles are filled with matrix, thus leading to densification. The correction formula (18) (cited from Houseknecht, 1987) is:
