[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for correcting the permeability of sandstone and conglomerate is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a sandstone permeability correction method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0031] Step S102: Obtain the target porosity and target logging value of the target sandstone and conglomerate.

[0032] Step S104: Based on the target logging values, determine the target flow unit index and target clay content of the target sandstone and conglomerate.

[0033] Step S106: Determine the initial permeability of the target sandstone and conglomerate based on the target porosity and the target flow unit index;

[0034] Step S108: Based on the target porosity and target clay content, correct the initial permeability to obtain the target permeability of the target sandstone.

[0035] Through the above steps, the target porosity and target logging values ​​of the target sandstone and conglomerate are obtained. Based on the target logging values, the target flow unit index and target clay content of the target sandstone and conglomerate are determined. Based on the target porosity and target flow unit index, the initial permeability of the target sandstone and conglomerate is determined. Based on the target porosity and target clay content, the initial permeability is corrected, and finally, the target permeability of the target sandstone and conglomerate is obtained. Because the target permeability is obtained by correcting the initial permeability, the correction of the initial permeability is achieved. Moreover, since the correction is based on the target porosity and target clay content, the influence of clay content is taken into account, making the correction more accurate. This solves the technical problem in related technologies where the accuracy of the permeability obtained when determining the permeability of sandstone and conglomerate is low, and the permeability differs significantly from the actual permeability.

[0036] As an optional embodiment, the target porosity and target logging values ​​of the target sandstone and conglomerate are obtained. The target sandstone and conglomerate is the sandstone and conglomerate reservoir whose permeability is to be detected. The target porosity can be a fitted value of the porosity in the target sandstone and conglomerate. The target logging values ​​can include target sonic logging values, target neutron logging values, target deep lateral logging values, target shallow lateral logging values, target natural gamma logging values, etc. The target deep lateral logging values ​​reflect the original formation resistivity, used to more accurately detect the permeability of the target sandstone and conglomerate.

[0037] As an optional embodiment, the target flow unit index and target clay content of the target sandstone are determined based on the target logging values. The target flow unit index of the target sandstone is determined based on the target logging values, and the initial permeability can be determined based on the target flow unit index. It should be noted that in this application, correlation analysis is performed a priori using experimental data such as porosity, average capillary radius, maximum pore throat radius, and clay content with permeability data to determine that clay content is the main controlling factor for permeability reduction. Therefore, the initial permeability determined based on the target flow unit index can be corrected based on the clay content. This accurately controls the influencing factor of clay content. Determining the target clay content of the target sandstone based on the target logging values ​​makes the subsequent correction of the initial permeability more accurate.

[0038] As an optional embodiment, determining the target flow unit index of the target sandstone and conglomerate based on the target logging values ​​can be achieved in various ways. For example, it can be done as follows: when the target logging values ​​include target sonic logging values, target neutron logging values, target deep lateral logging values, and target shallow lateral logging values, a first predetermined coefficient is determined; based on the first predetermined coefficient, the target sonic logging values, the target neutron logging values, the target deep lateral logging values, and the target shallow lateral logging values, the target flow unit index of the target sandstone and conglomerate is determined. The first predetermined coefficient can be obtained by optimal fitting of experimental data. The process of determining the target flow unit index of the target sandstone and conglomerate based on the first predetermined coefficient, the target sonic logging values, the target neutron logging values, the target deep lateral logging values, and the target shallow lateral logging values ​​will be described in detail in the optional embodiments below, and will not be repeated here. The target flow unit index can be obtained using the first predetermined coefficient and the target logging values, which allows for convenient and quick determination of the initial permeability, improving the efficiency of permeability correction in this application.

[0039] As an optional embodiment, determining the target clay content of the target sandstone and conglomerate based on the target logging values ​​can include various methods. For example, it can be done as follows: when the target logging values ​​include target sonic logging values, target neutron logging values, target deep lateral logging values, and target natural gamma logging values, the initial clay content of the target sandstone and conglomerate can be determined based on these values. To improve the accuracy of the determined target clay content, the initial clay content can be normalized to fall within the range of 0-100, resulting in a normalized clay content. The target clay content of the target sandstone and conglomerate can then be determined based on a second predetermined coefficient and the normalized clay content. The second predetermined coefficient can be obtained through optimal fitting of experimental data. The process for determining the target clay content described above will be detailed in the optional embodiments below and will not be elaborated further here. The target clay content can be obtained by using the second predetermined coefficient and the target logging value, which improves the efficiency of permeability correction in this application and ensures that the target clay content can be determined quickly and accurately.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, the initial permeability of the target sandstone can be determined based on the target porosity and the target flow unit index, so that the initial permeability can be corrected.

[0041] As an optional embodiment, there are many ways to determine the initial permeability of a target sandstone conglomerate based on target porosity and target flow unit index. For example, the following method can be used: Based on the target flow unit index, determine the target cumulative frequency and the target slope of the target cumulative frequency; based on the target slope, determine the target flow unit type of the target sandstone conglomerate and the corresponding permeability formula; substitute the target porosity into the permeability formula to determine the initial permeability of the target sandstone conglomerate. That is, the reservoir type of the target sandstone conglomerate reservoir can be determined based on the target slope of the target cumulative frequency. Different reservoir types correspond to different permeability formulas. Substituting the target porosity into the corresponding permeability formula determines the initial permeability of the target sandstone conglomerate. Obtaining the initial permeability in this way ensures that the obtained initial permeability is based on both subjective experience and objective analysis, making the obtained initial permeability more accurate.

[0042] Optionally, before determining the target flow unit type of the target conglomerate and the corresponding permeability formula, the process may include determining multiple flow unit types and their corresponding permeability formulas. For example, this can be achieved by determining the experimental porosity, experimental permeability, experimental flow unit index, cumulative experimental frequency based on the experimental flow unit index, and the experimental slope of the cumulative experimental frequency for the experimental conglomerate. Here, the experimental conglomerate can be understood as a conglomerate reservoir where multiple data points are known; therefore, patterns can be found among these data points based on their relationships. Multiple flow unit types are defined based on the cumulative experimental frequency and its experimental slope, with the target flow unit type being one of these multiple flow unit types. When defining multiple flow unit types, different levels of refinement can be applied based on the actual application and scenario. In scenarios requiring higher precision, more flow unit types can be defined, making this application more flexible. After defining multiple flow unit types, the permeability formulas corresponding to each flow unit type can be determined based on the experimental porosity, experimental permeability, and experimental flow unit index. Therefore, the reservoir type of the target sandstone and conglomerate can be determined among multiple flow unit types based on the target slope of the target cumulative frequency. By substituting the target porosity into the corresponding permeability formula, the initial permeability of the target sandstone and conglomerate can be determined. This method is convenient, quick, and can accelerate the permeability determination process.

[0043] As an optional embodiment, the initial permeability is corrected based on the target porosity and target clay content to obtain the target permeability of the target sandstone / conglomerate. In this process, the target seepage radius can be determined first; based on the target seepage radius, target porosity, and target clay content, the initial permeability is corrected to obtain the target permeability of the target sandstone / conglomerate. Because clay content has a significant impact on reservoir permeability, clay particles distributed in the pore space form a clay film, leading to a reduction in the cross-sectional area of ​​the pore capillary bundles and blocking some throats, thus reducing pore permeability. When considering the influencing factor of clay content, considering the target seepage radius allows for a more accurate and comprehensive assessment of the target permeability, resulting in a more precise final target permeability.

[0044] As an optional embodiment, the target permeability of the target sandstone is obtained by correcting the initial permeability based on the target seepage radius, target porosity, and target clay content. This includes: determining an initial theoretical permeability formula; correcting the initial theoretical permeability formula to a target theoretical permeability formula based on the target seepage radius; and substituting the initial permeability and target clay content into the target theoretical permeability formula to obtain the target permeability of the target sandstone. The process of obtaining the target permeability of the target sandstone is described in the optional embodiments below and will not be repeated here. By correcting the formula and substituting the initial permeability and target clay content into the target theoretical permeability formula to obtain the target permeability of the target sandstone, the obtained target permeability is not only based on evidence and accurate, but also speeds up the efficiency of correcting the initial permeability and obtaining the target permeability, making the method provided in this application more efficient.

[0045] Based on the above embodiments and optional embodiments, an optional implementation method is provided, which is described in detail below.

[0046] An optional embodiment of this invention provides a permeability correction method for clay-bearing sandstone with a membrane-like pore structure. This optional embodiment addresses the influence of pore structure and clay distribution on the seepage capacity of clay-bearing sandstone with a membrane-like pore throat structure. It determines a multiple regression formula for continuously calculating the flow unit index, first eliminating the influence of pore structure on permeability, then quantitatively calculating the reservoir clay content using a multi-curve combination method. By analyzing the rock seepage mechanism, a permeability correction formula for the clay-bearing membrane-like pore throat structure is determined. Comparison of the calculated results with experimentally analyzed permeability shows good correlation and high calculation accuracy, providing a new approach for permeability correction of clay-bearing rocks. The optional embodiment of this invention is described in detail below:

[0047] It should be noted beforehand that porosity, mercury injection, and whole-rock tests were conducted according to the domestic industry standard for core analysis SY / T 5336-2006. Correlation analysis was performed between the analyzed experimental data (porosity, average capillary radius, maximum pore throat radius, clay content, etc.) and permeability data to determine that clay content is the main controlling factor for permeability reduction. Therefore, permeability was corrected based on clay content.

[0048] S1, obtain the target porosity and target logging value of the target sandstone and conglomerate. The target sandstone and conglomerate is the sandstone and conglomerate reservoir whose permeability is to be detected. The target logging value includes the target sonic logging value, the target neutron logging value, the target deep lateral logging value, the target shallow lateral logging value, and the target natural gamma logging value.

[0049] S2, based on the target logging values, determine the target flow unit index of the target sandstone and conglomerate;

[0050] S2.1, Determine the first predetermined coefficients, a, b, c, d;

[0051] S2.2, based on the first predetermined coefficient, the target sonic logging value, the target neutron logging value, the target deep lateral logging value, and the target shallow lateral logging value, determine the target flow unit index of the target sandstone.

[0052] As shown in formula (1), the target flow element index FZI of the target sandstone and conglomerate is determined:

[0053]

[0054] In the formula, a, b, c, and d are all coefficients, namely the first predetermined coefficients mentioned above, which are obtained by optimal fitting of experimental data. AC is the sonic logging value, in μs / ft; CNL is the neutron logging value, in %; RT and RI are the deep lateral and shallow lateral logging values, in Ω·m.

[0055] S3, based on the target logging values, determine the target clay content of the target sandstone and conglomerate;

[0056] S3.1, Based on the target sonic logging value, target neutron logging value, target deep lateral logging value and target natural gamma logging value, determine the initial clay content of the target sandstone and conglomerate;

[0057] As shown in formula (2), the initial clay content NZ of the target sandstone and conglomerate is determined, which can also be called the clay content index:

[0058]

[0059] In the formula, AC is the sonic logging value in μs / ft; CNL is the neutron logging value in %; GR is the natural gamma logging value in API; and RT is the deep lateral logging value in Ω·m.

[0060] S3.2, normalize the initial clay content to obtain the normalized clay content;

[0061] As shown in formula (3), the initial clay content is normalized to obtain the normalized clay content, which is distributed in the range of 0-100.

[0062]

[0063] In the formula, NZ max The maximum value of the clay index; NZ min This is the minimum value of the clay index.

[0064] S3.3, Based on the second predetermined coefficient and the normalized clay content, determine the target clay content of the target sandstone and conglomerate.

[0065] As shown in formula (4), the target clay content V of the target sandstone and conglomerate is determined. NT ;

[0066] V NT =i×NZ * +j (4)

[0067] In the formula, i and j are both coefficients, namely the second predetermined coefficients mentioned above, which are obtained by optimal fitting of experimental data. Figure 2 This is a graph showing the relationship between clay content and clay index provided by an optional embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the coefficients i and j can be obtained from the data.

[0068] It should be noted that the clay content index NZ was determined based on the above data as follows: According to the physicochemical properties of clay minerals, well logging curve response characteristics of clay-bearing sandstone and conglomerate were analyzed. The natural gamma logging value is mainly affected by clay minerals and their adsorbed radioactive elements; when the clay content is high, the natural gamma increases. Since the acoustic transit time of mudstone is greater than that of sandstone skeleton, the acoustic transit time is positively correlated with the clay mineral content. Higher clay content indicates more clay mineral particles and more ions adsorbed on their surface. Under the influence of an external electric field, a large number of ions adsorbed on the particle surface will move along the surface to conduct current, thereby reducing the rock resistivity. When clay minerals adhere to the pore surface of the rock, a bound water clay film will form on its surface, increasing the rock's hydrogen index and leading to a larger compensated neutron logging value. Therefore, the clay content index NZ was determined using sensitive curves such as natural gamma, neutron, and acoustic logging.

[0073] S4.3, Substitute the target porosity into the permeability formula to determine the initial permeability K of the target sandstone and conglomerate;

[0074] It should be noted that before determining the target flow unit type of the target sandstone and conglomerate and the permeability formula corresponding to the target flow unit type based on the target slope, the process also includes: dividing multiple flow unit types and determining the permeability formula corresponding to each of the multiple flow unit types.

[0075] S4.2.1, determine the experimental porosity, experimental permeability, experimental flow unit index, experimental cumulative frequency based on the experimental flow unit index, and experimental slope of the experimental cumulative frequency for the experimental sandstone and conglomerate.

[0076] It should be noted that the experimental flow element index (FZI) can be calculated using the formula determined by Kozeny and Carmen based on the principles of seepage mechanics. The formula for calculating the experimental flow element index FZI is shown in (5):

Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of multiple flow unit types provided by optional embodiments of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the slopes of Class I, Class II, and Class III reservoirs are the experimental slopes corresponding to the cumulative experimental frequencies of different experimental sandstones.

Figure 4 The reservoirs in the study area are divided into three types of flow units: Type I, Type II, and Type III reservoirs.

[0081] S4.2.3, based on experimental porosity, experimental permeability, and experimental flow unit index, determine the permeability formulas corresponding to each of the multiple flow unit types, that is, determine the permeability formulas corresponding to different flow units according to three categories of standards.

[0082] Examples of flow unit types and their corresponding permeability formulas are provided. Table 1 shows the classification criteria for each parameter of the flow unit. As shown in Table 1, the flow unit types and their corresponding permeability formulas are as follows. The target flow unit type is one of the following three types.

[0093] S5.1, Determine the target seepage radius;

[0094] When there is dispersed clay or structural clay in the reservoir pore throat space, assuming that these clays adhere to the surface of the pore throat space to form a clay film, the effective seepage radius of the fluid is reduced to rd, that is, the target seepage radius is rd. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the effective seepage radius provided by an optional embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the target seepage radius is rd.

[0095] S5.2, Determine the initial theoretical penetration rate formula;

[0096] Based on the seepage mechanism, according to Poiseuille's equation and Darcy's law, for pure rock pore capillary, when the fluid in the reservoir seeps horizontally in a radial direction, the permeability formula is as shown in formula (6):

Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 In the figure, the first line represents the natural gamma curve, the second the depth line, the third the lithological profile, the fourth the deep and shallow lateral resistivity curves, the fifth the three-porosity curve, the sixth the calculated porosity curve (circular dots represent experimentally analyzed porosity), the seventh the FZI curve calculated from experimental analysis and the fitted formula, the eighth the clay content line, the ninth the permeability calculated before correction (circular dots represent experimentally analyzed permeability), and the tenth the permeability calculated after correction (circular dots represent experimentally analyzed permeability). In the figure, the calculated permeability before correction is mostly higher than the permeability analyzed by rock physics experiments. The permeability calculated using the clay correction formula agrees well with the analyzed permeability, thus verifying the reliability of this method.

[0111] Through the above optional implementation methods, at least the following beneficial effects can be achieved: Regarding the influence of pore structure and clay distribution on seepage capacity in clay-bearing sandstone and conglomerate, multiple conventional permeability calculation formulas are determined using the flow element method, eliminating the influence of pore structure on permeability. The reservoir clay content is quantitatively calculated using well logging curves, the rock pore throat seepage mechanism is analyzed, and a permeability correction formula for clay-film pore throat structures is determined. The calculated results show good correlation with experimentally analyzed permeability, providing a new approach for permeability correction in clay-film pore-structured sandstone and conglomerate. This method is of great significance for evaluating the effectiveness of clay-bearing sandstone and conglomerate reservoirs. Starting from the study of seepage mechanisms, this method has a reliable theoretical basis and provides a new method for permeability calculation in clay-bearing sandstone and conglomerate blocks lacking experimental analysis data. The calculation accuracy is significantly better than conventional permeability calculation methods.
