Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of reef limestone diagenetic phase identification, in particular to a reef limestone diagenetic phase identification method based on acoustic and nuclear magnetic resonance parameters. Background Art
[0002] Reef limestone is a special type of limestone, which is mainly composed of skeletal fragments of corals, algae and other marine organisms. It is usually formed in warm shallow sea environments. By identifying the diagenetic phases of different reef limestones, we can gain a deeper understanding of the various physical and chemical changes experienced during the formation of reef limestones, which helps scientists reconstruct ancient marine ecosystems and climate conditions. At the same time, reef limestones are often used as important oil and gas reservoirs. Diagenetic phase identification can be used to evaluate the quality of the reservoirs. Based on the understanding of known reef limestone diagenetic phases, potential high-quality reservoir locations can be predicted in unknown areas, which provides a great boost to oil and gas exploration. The existing diagenetic phase identification The method usually requires a large number of tests on the reef limestone samples to finally determine the diagenetic phase of the reef limestone samples. Although the results are very accurate, the whole process takes a very long time and consumes a lot of time, manpower, and equipment costs. For example, when using a diagenetic limestone-marlstone rhythm identification method disclosed in publication number CN116818752A to identify the diagenetic phase of the reef limestone, there is a need to conduct a large number of tests on the reef limestone samples. The whole process takes a very long time and consumes a lot of time, manpower, and equipment costs.
