Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas exploration technology, and in particular to a method and system for detecting the oil and gas content of deep strike-slip fault-controlled reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] Fracture-vuggy oil and gas reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip fault zones (also known as fault-dissolved oil and gas reservoirs) are formed by using deep strike-slip faults as the main channels for oil and gas migration and accumulation, guiding oil and gas to the fractured zone of the strike-slip fault and the nearby carbonate fracture-vuggy reservoir space. In recent years, this type of oil and gas accumulation has become a hot topic in carbonate reservoir oil and gas exploration. Currently, the exploration of deep strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy oil and gas reservoirs is mainly based on seismic methods. However, because these reservoirs are generally buried at great depths, seismic methods are affected by surface conditions (such as thick sand layers) and reservoir heterogeneity, leading to significant uncertainties in seismic detection of hydrocarbon potential. In addition, seismic methods are extremely costly, affecting exploration decisions and progress. In recent years, deep strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy (fault-dissolved) oil and gas reservoirs discovered in the Tarim Basin have developed strike-slip faults with near-vertical dips, and oil and gas are mainly transported vertically. Geochemical exploration technology based on the theory of vertical micro-permeability of oil and gas can detect the oil and gas content of fault zones on the surface above nearly vertical fault zones. It is direct and economical, and when combined with seismic data, it can improve the success rate of identifying oil and gas-bearing fault zones.
[0003] Existing research largely focuses on measuring geochemical effects above normal or reverse faults, or inferring fault distribution by detecting geochemical effects above faults, particularly gas geochemical effects. It does not address geochemical detection techniques for hydrocarbon-bearing properties in fracture-vuggy (fault-dissolved) reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip faults. While some literature reports on surface hydrocarbon microbial exploration of fault-dissolved reservoirs, these primarily involve single-method indicators of hydrocarbon microorganisms, offering no fundamental difference from conventional trap geochemical exploration approaches. They fail to theoretically and practically study the hydrocarbon-bearing potential of fracture-vuggy (fault-dissolved) reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip faults. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Fracture-vuggy oil and gas reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip fault zones (also known as fault-dissolved oil and gas reservoirs) are formed by using deep strike-slip faults as the main channels for oil and gas migration and accumulation, guiding oil and gas to the fractured zone of the strike-slip fault and the nearby carbonate fracture-vuggy reservoir space. In recent years, this type of oil and gas accumulation has become a hot topic in carbonate reservoir oil and gas exploration. Currently, the exploration of deep strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy oil and gas reservoirs is mainly based on seismic methods.

It is direct and economical, and when combined with seismic data, it can improve the success rate of identifying oil and gas-bearing fault zones.
[0026] Existing research largely focuses on measuring geochemical effects above normal or reverse faults, or inferring fault distribution by detecting geochemical effects above faults, particularly gas geochemical effects. It does not address geochemical detection techniques for hydrocarbon-bearing properties in fracture-vuggy (fault-dissolved) reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip faults. While some literature reports on surface hydrocarbon microbial exploration of fault-dissolved reservoirs, these primarily involve single-method indicators of hydrocarbon microorganisms, offering no fundamental difference from conventional trap geochemical exploration approaches. They fail to theoretically and practically study the hydrocarbon-bearing potential of fracture-vuggy (fault-dissolved) reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip faults.
[0027] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application proposes a method and system for detecting the hydrocarbon potential of deep strike-slip fault reservoirs. This method and system can, both theoretically and practically, effectively deploy survey networks for fracture-vuggy (fault-dissolved) reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip faults, reflect hydrocarbon information within deep fault zones, and provide specific geochemical detection techniques for anomaly evaluation. This invention improves the success rate of hydrocarbon exploration in deep strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy (fault-dissolved) reservoirs, reduces exploration costs, and establishes an effective geochemical detection technique for hydrocarbon potential in these reservoirs, enabling future applications in integrated geological, geophysical, and geochemical exploration.
[0028] Guided by the theory of vertical hydrocarbon diffusion and seepage in oil and gas reservoirs, the geochemical anomaly pattern above a deep, large strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy reservoir is generally characterized by banded patterns. Based on the reservoir's burial depth and fault zone width, oil and gas seepage sources and their associated components, and surface conditions, an effective and targeted survey network is deployed. Indicators reflecting modern compensatory active micro-seepage and sensitive to oil and gas in deep, large strike-slip fault zones are selected. Multi-indicator pattern identification is employed for anomaly evaluation, establishing a geochemical detection technology for the hydrocarbon content of deep, large strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy reservoirs.
[0029] Figure 1 This is a step diagram illustrating the method for detecting the hydrocarbon content of the Shenzhen-Dalian strike-slip fault-controlled reservoir, as described in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1As shown, the hydrocarbon detection method described in this embodiment of the invention is implemented according to the following steps: Step S110, based on the burial depth of the hydrocarbon reservoir, the width of the fault zone, and the hydrocarbon leakage source and its associated components, a survey line is deployed in the exploration area of the reservoir controlled by the underlying deep strike-slip fault, and near-surface samples are collected according to the deployed survey line; Step S120, geochemical indicators sensitive to faults and hydrocarbons are selected and the experimental methods for each indicator are determined. Then, each geochemical indicator is tested on the collected near-surface samples one by one according to the determined experimental methods to obtain the measured results containing geochemical anomaly information; Step S130, based on the seismic feature map of the exploration area and the measured results obtained in Step S120, the hydrocarbon content and distribution characteristics of the exploration area are identified by analyzing the relationship between seismic features and geochemical anomaly features.
[0030] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the method for detecting the hydrocarbon content of the Shenzhen-Dalian strike-slip fault-controlled reservoir, as described in this application. The following is a summary of the method. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The specific process of the oil and gas content detection method described in the embodiments of the present invention will be explained.
[0031] Unlike conventional trap-type oil and gas reservoirs, deep strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy oil and gas reservoirs are reservoirs and rich areas controlled by strike-slip fault zones. The oil-bearing area is generally strip-shaped in the plane, and the width of the fault zone plus karst body is generally 200-1000 meters. The burial depth of the oil and gas reservoir is generally 7000-8000 meters.
[0032] Based on hydrocarbon diffusion theory and the results of grid tests conducted above deep strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-cavity (fault-dissolved) oil and gas reservoirs, step S110 will deploy survey lines in the exploration area containing deep strike-slip fault reservoirs according to the reservoir depth, fault zone width, oil and gas leakage sources and their associated components.
[0033] During the deployment of geochemical survey lines, lines are deployed either perpendicular to or along strike-slip faults. Lines perpendicular to the fault strike are centered on the strike-slip fault zone, with lateral lines extending at least 2.5 km to 3.0 km in length. The length of lines along strike-slip faults is determined based on exploration requirements. The spacing between points on lines perpendicular to strike-slip faults is generally 0.10 km to 0.50 km, depending on the required exploration accuracy, while the spacing between points on lines along strike-slip faults is generally 0.25 km to 2.0 km, depending on the required exploration accuracy.
[0034] Furthermore, this invention determines the spacing between vertical survey lines and the spacing between survey lines along strike-slip faults based on the exploration objectives. These objectives include: targeting favorable areas with a high probability of containing oil and gas, and targeting target areas with an extremely high probability of containing oil and gas.
[0035] In one embodiment, if a favorable oil and gas-bearing area is preferred, the spacing between the measurement points perpendicular to the strike-slip fault is 0.25km-0.5km, and the spacing between the measurement points along the strike-slip fault is 0.5km-2km.
[0036] In another embodiment, if the target area containing oil and gas is preferred, the spacing between the measuring points perpendicular to the strike-slip fault is 0.1km-0.25km; and the spacing between the measuring points along the strike-slip fault is 0.25km-0.5km.
[0037] Next, step S110 will collect near-surface samples at each measuring point in the area to be explored according to the deployed survey lines, thus proceeding to step S120.
[0038] Based on the fact that hydrocarbons in deep strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy oil and gas reservoirs mainly dissipate vertically to the surface through inherited secondary fractures and microfracture systems in the overlying strata at the end of the strike-slip fault extension, resulting in a strip-like distribution of geochemical anomalies within a certain range on the surface, this invention employs an economical and effective meshing method to capture comprehensive oil and gas leakage information and tracer indicators related to the hydrocarbon-bearing properties of deep strike-slip faults, in order to evaluate the hydrocarbon-bearing properties of fracture-vuggy reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip faults.
[0039] In step S120, firstly, geochemical indicators sensitive to faults and hydrocarbons are selected, and the experimental methods used to determine each geochemical indicator are determined. Then, according to the determined experimental methods, multiple geochemical indicators are tested on near-surface samples collected from each location, thereby obtaining measured results containing geochemical anomaly information.
[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, the geochemical indicators include: a first type of indicator reflecting micro-leaking of active light hydrocarbons, a second type of indicator reflecting the characteristics of associated gas and light hydrocarbons in reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip faults, a third type of indicator reflecting micro-leaking of semi-active light hydrocarbons, and a fourth type of indicator reflecting the genesis and properties of oil and gas.
[0041] Specifically, in the first embodiment, the experimental methods used to determine the aforementioned first type of indicators include: free hydrocarbon determination experiments, headspace light hydrocarbon determination experiments, and oil and gas microbial determination experiments. Thus, this embodiment of the invention obtains free hydrocarbon determination data, headspace light hydrocarbon determination data, and oil and gas microbial determination data through hydrocarbon determination experiments for different purposes, and utilizes these determination data to characterize the microleakage characteristics of active light hydrocarbons in oil and gas.
[0042] In the second embodiment, the experimental methods used to determine the aforementioned second type of indicators include: experiments measuring free He, Ne, and H2, and experiments measuring He, Ne, and H2 in headspace gas. Thus, this embodiment of the invention obtains measurement data of free He, Ne, and H2 and headspace He, Ne, and H2 through gas measurement experiments in different occurrence states, and uses this measurement data to characterize the light hydrocarbon associated gas characteristics of reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip fault zones.
[0043] In the third embodiment, the experimental method used to determine the aforementioned third type of index includes: a pyrolytic hydrocarbon determination experiment. Therefore, this embodiment of the invention obtains pyrolytic hydrocarbon determination data through the pyrolytic hydrocarbon determination experiment, and uses this data to characterize the light hydrocarbon associated gas characteristics of reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip fault zones.
[0044] In the fourth embodiment, the experimental methods used to determine the aforementioned fourth type of index include: a methane stable carbon isotope determination experiment and a three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy determination experiment. Thus, this embodiment of the invention obtains methane stable carbon isotope determination data and fluorescence spectroscopy determination data through methane stable carbon isotope and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy determination experiments, and uses these determination data to characterize the genetic and property characteristics of oil and gas.
[0045] Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, multiple measurement data (free hydrocarbon measurement data; headspace light hydrocarbon measurement data; oil and gas microbial measurement data; free gas He, Ne and H2 measurement data; headspace gas He, Ne and H2 measurement data; pyrolytic hydrocarbon measurement data; methane stable carbon isotope measurement data; and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy measurement data) can be obtained for each sample at each location, thus proceeding to step S130.
[0046] Step S130 analyzes the relationship between seismic characteristics and geochemical anomalies based on the seismic feature map of the area to be explored and the geophysical and chemical measurement results of samples obtained in step S120, thereby identifying the hydrocarbon potential and distribution characteristics of the area to be explored. The seismic feature map includes at least two components: a seismic coherence map and a seismic amplitude map.
[0047] In step S130, firstly, based on the measured results of each sample obtained in step S120, geochemical anomalies and background separation processing are performed on the current exploration area to identify the morphology and intensity characteristics of geochemical anomalies in the current area. Then, based on the morphology and intensity characteristics of geochemical anomalies throughout the entire area, and according to the seismic coherence map and seismic amplitude map of the current exploration area, the relationship between the distribution of faults, fracture-vuggy reservoirs, and comprehensive geochemical anomalies is analyzed, thereby obtaining the evaluation results of the hydrocarbon potential and distribution range of the current exploration area.
[0048] In this way, by evaluating the oil and gas content and distribution range of the current exploration area, favorable oil and gas areas or target areas can be selected and delineated, thereby completing the oil and gas content detection task of the current exploration area.
[0049] Furthermore, to improve the success rate of oil and gas exploration in the current exploration area, geochemical observation results of previously discovered deep, large-scale strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy reservoirs can be used to construct a neural network-based identification and prediction model. Specifically, firstly, a basic neural network model is constructed. Then, using the geochemical observation results of discovered deep, large-scale strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy reservoirs (including a dataset of geochemical anomalies above known deep, large-scale strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy reservoirs and a dataset of geochemical background samples from blank areas), deep learning is performed to analyze the correlation between historical observation results and the evaluation results of hydrocarbon distribution range. This training of the aforementioned basic neural network model then constructs an identification and prediction model. Finally, when applying this identification and prediction model, the geochemical observation results of the current exploration area are used as model input. The model is then used to predict the hydrocarbon potential and hydrocarbon distribution of the deep, large-scale strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy reservoirs in the current exploration area.
[0050] Example 1
[0051] The aforementioned hydrocarbon detection method was applied to the middle section of the Shunbei 5 fault zone (a deep strike-slip fault zone) in the Shuntogole area of the Tarim Basin, and an hydrocarbon exploration test (target selection) was conducted. The exploration results revealed a distinct banded anomaly zone along the Shunbei 5 fault zone, with geochemical indicators forming a clear banded anomaly. This anomaly zone contains two extremely high-value anomaly areas, located at the northern and southern ends of the Shunbei 5 fault zone within the work area, respectively. This indicates the heterogeneity of hydrocarbon reservoirs within the Shunbei 5 fault zone in the work area, and the exploration results show good agreement with the underlying hydrocarbon distribution.
[0052] On the other hand, based on the above-mentioned method for detecting hydrocarbon content, this embodiment of the invention also provides a system for detecting hydrocarbon content in deep strike-slip fault reservoirs. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an hydrocarbon detection system for the Shenzhen-Dalian strike-slip fault reservoir, according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the oil and gas content detection system includes: a survey line deployment module 31, an index selection and testing module 32, and an experimental result analysis module 33.
[0053] The survey line deployment module 31 is implemented according to the method described in step S110 above. It is configured to deploy survey lines in the exploration area of the reservoir controlled by the underlying deep strike-slip fault based on the reservoir burial depth, fault zone width, and oil and gas leakage sources and their associated components, and collect near-surface samples according to the deployed survey lines. The index selection and testing module 32 is implemented according to the method described in step S120 above. It is configured to select geochemical indices sensitive to faults and oil and gas and determine the experimental method for each index. Then, it tests each geochemical index on the collected near-surface samples one by one according to the determined experimental method to obtain the measured results containing geochemical anomaly information. The measured result analysis module 33 is implemented according to the method described in step S130 above. It is configured to identify the oil and gas distribution characteristics of the exploration reservoir area by analyzing the relationship between seismic characteristics and geochemical anomaly characteristics based on the seismic feature map and geochemical measured results of the exploration reservoir area.
[0054] Furthermore, in the survey line deployment module 31, geochemical exploration survey lines are deployed both perpendicular to and along strike-slip faults. Specifically, survey lines perpendicular to the fault strike are centered on the strike-slip fault, with lateral lines extending at least 2.5 km to 3.0 km in length. Survey lines along strike-slip faults have lengths determined according to exploration requirements. The spacing between survey points perpendicular to the strike-slip fault is 0.1 km to 0.5 km, while the spacing between survey points along strike-slip faults is 0.25 km to 2.0 km.
[0055] In addition, the hydrocarbon detection system described in this embodiment of the invention further includes: a prediction model construction module (unnumbered). The prediction model construction module is used to first construct a basic neural network model, and then, based on the basic neural network model, according to a known dataset of geochemical anomalies above deep, large strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy hydrocarbon reservoirs and a dataset of geochemical background samples from blank areas, to construct an identification and prediction model through training the basic neural network model. Finally, based on the geochemical measurement results, the identification and prediction model is used to predict the hydrocarbon content and distribution of deep, large strike-slip fault-controlled fracture-vuggy reservoirs in the current exploration area.
[0056] This invention discloses a method and system for detecting hydrocarbon potential in reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip faults. This method and system belong to the field of oil and gas exploration. Addressing the lack of low-cost, specific geochemical techniques in existing detection methods for hydrocarbon potential in fracture-vuggy (fault-dissolved) reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip faults, this invention establishes a geochemical technique for detecting hydrocarbon potential in fracture-vuggy reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip faults, integrating grid deployment, index selection, experimental method selection, and anomaly evaluation. This invention provides theoretical and practical basis for geochemical exploration of fracture-vuggy oil and gas reservoirs controlled by deep strike-slip faults, improves exploration results, and has achieved good results in the exploration of fracture-vuggy oil and gas reservoirs controlled by strike-slip faults in the Shunbei area of the Tarim Basin.
