Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field geological evolution, and particularly relates to a prediction method for vertical evolution of compaction diagenetic fractures in a sandy conglomerate reservoir. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to ensure the safety of oilfield development and control economic cost, the geological conditions of the rock stratum need to be deeply understood before or during the oilfield exploitation. In the process of oil and gas exploration and development, compaction diagenetic fractures are important reservoir spaces for oil and gas and have an important influence on the percolation capacity of the reservoir.

[0003] In recent years, compaction diagenetic fractures have been found in oil and gas bearing basins in the east and west of China. For example, in the Wushi Sag of the Tarim Basin, a plurality of groups of compaction diagenetic fractures are developed in the K1g medium-coarse grained sandstone with gravel at a burial depth of more than 6000m, which are the main reservoir spaces for oil and gas, and a high-yield industrial oil and gas layer with a daily oil production of 174 tons and a daily gas production of 2x105m 3 of gas is obtained. For another example, a large number of compaction diagenetic fractures are developed in the carbonate gravel of the fourth member of the Shahejie Formation in the Dongying Sag of the Bohai Bay Basin, which improves the permeability of the reservoir and is laterally reformed into small-scale fracture-caves by organic acid.

[0004] At present, compaction diagenetic fractures are developed in a large amount in sandy conglomerate reservoirs, but the formation and evolution mechanism thereof is not clear. For an oilfield that has not been completely developed or is in the process of being developed, it is very important to quantitatively obtain the vertical distribution of compaction diagenetic fractures in sandy conglomerate reservoirs through prediction. Therefore, at present, there is a lack of a method for quantitatively evaluating the vertical evolution process of compaction diagenetic fractures in sandy conglomerate reservoirs. SUMMARY

The oil and gas reservoirs in the research area are mainly enriched in the Archean buried hill metamorphic rock and the thick glutenite reservoir of the Kongdian Formation, wherein the burial depth of the glutenite reservoir of the Kongdian Formation is generally more than 3500 m, the main source rock layer is the Shahejie Formation and the Dongying Formation, and the regional distribution of the thick mudstone of the third member of the Dongying Formation is stable, and the high-quality cap rock is as shown in

[0091] The prediction method of the vertical evolution of the compaction diagenetic fractures of the glutenite reservoir of the Kongdian Formation of the BZ19-6 condensate gas field is used as an object, wherein the BZ19-6 structural belt is located on the deep structural ridge in the southwest of the Bozhong sag in the Bohai Bay Basin, is adjacent to the Bonan low uplift in the southeast, is adjacent to the Chengbei low uplift in the west, is connected with the Yellow River mouth sag in the south, and is the main depression of the Bozhong sag in the north, in the form of an anticline uplift belt in a large sag. The oil and gas reservoirs in the research area are mainly enriched in the Archean buried hill metamorphic rock and the thick glutenite reservoir of the Kongdian Formation, wherein the burial depth of the glutenite reservoir of the Kongdian Formation is generally more than 3500 m, the main source rock layer is the Shahejie Formation and the Dongying Formation, and the regional distribution of the thick mudstone of the third member of the Dongying Formation is stable, and the high-quality cap rock is as shown in

[0092] S1: Core observation and thin section analysis revealed the primary rock types and component contents of the conglomerate reservoir samples from the Kongdian Formation of the BZ19-6 gas field. The samples used in this example were collected at a depth of approximately 3000-4500 m, and were in the middle stages of vertical compaction. The primary rock types within the reservoir were determined to be conglomerate, specifically granite and gneiss. The clastic component content, clay mineral content, and gravel particle size and content of the two conglomerates are shown in Table 1.

[0093] Table 1 Statistics of clastic component content in the conglomerate of the Kongdian Formation in the BZ19-6 gas field

[0094]

[0095] S2: Conduct compaction physical diagenesis simulation experiments

[0096] Using a diagenetic physics simulation experimental device, artificial rock samples with the same composition as the actual rocks in the work area but at different burial and compaction stages were prepared according to the actual debris composition, clay mineral types, content of each type, and debris particle size of the Kongdian Formation in the BZ19-6 gas field as described in Table 1.

[0097] As a specific scheme, artificial rock samples were divided into two groups, namely granite and gneiss, and each group of rock samples was divided into eight equal parts. In order to simulate the diagenesis conditions at different burial and compaction stages, eight simulation environments were set up in the diagenetic physics simulation experimental equipment. The specific settings of the simulation environments are shown in Table 2.

[0098] Table 2 Temperature and pressure of conglomerate simulation experiments corresponding to different burial depths

[0099]

[0100] Eight granite samples and eight gneiss samples were placed in eight simulated environments, respectively. After 15 days, artificial rock samples with a diameter of 3 cm and a height of 7 cm were made. The diagenetic physics simulation experimental equipment used in this embodiment is the diagenetic physics simulation experimental equipment used in the "Pore Evolution Characteristics and Favorable Reservoir Evaluation of Deep Jurassic Reservoirs in Dibei, Kuqa Depression - Diagenetic Physics Simulation Experimental Study under Burial Mode Constraints".

[0101] As another scheme, different from the above scheme, the two groups of rock samples are divided into 9 equal parts; 8 granite samples and 8 gneiss samples are placed in 8 simulation environments respectively, and 1 granite sample and 1 gneiss sample are kept as spares. The spare samples can be used to make up for the experiment after other experimental samples fail, thereby reducing the probability of direct failure of the experiment.

[0102] S3: Determination of crack parameters for simulation experiments

[0103] The blue casting was injected into the artificial rock sample, and thin sections of the casting were uniformly cut at a distance of 1.5 cm from the upper part for microscopic observation. Six adjacent fields of view were taken and spliced ​​using Western Library image analysis software to obtain the crack length, crack width, number of cracks, surface porosity, rock grain size, debris particle composition, and filling material content of the spliced ​​images.

[0104] The microscopic images of reservoirs at simulated depths of 2000m, 4000m, and 6000m in the compaction simulation experiment in this embodiment are shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in a, b, and c, the surface porosity, crack width, and crack number obtained from the compaction simulation experiment in this embodiment are shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in the figure; the opening and number of compaction diagenetic cracks of different rock particle sizes are as follows Figure 5 shown.

[0105] Specifically, the width and number of the cracks in this embodiment are as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the data, in the shallow burial stage of simulated burial depth of 2000-3000m, the compaction diagenetic fractures are mainly inherited fractures. The number of cracks in sample No. 1 increases from 28 to 40, and the number of cracks in sample No. 2 increases from 26 to 40; in the simulated burial depth of 2000-2500m, the average width of the compaction diagenetic fractures in sample No. 1 increases from 7.25μm to 12.63μm, and the average width of the compaction diagenetic fractures in sample No. 2 increases from 4.03μm to 9.53μm; in the simulated burial depth of 2500-3000m, the average width of the cracks in sample No. 1 decreases from 13.36μm to 3.69μm, and the average width of the cracks in sample No. 2 decreases from 9.53μm to 5.2μm. During the shallow burial-rapid deep burial transition stage at a simulated depth of 3000-4500m, both inherited and non-inherited cracks developed. The average crack width of sample No. 1 increased from 3.69μm to 12.38μm, and the average crack width of sample No. 2 increased from 5.2μm to 12.44μm. When the simulated burial depth was 3000-4000m, the number of cracks in sample No. 1 increased from 40 to 56, and the number of cracks in sample No. 2 increased from 40 to 65. At a simulated burial depth of 4000-4500m, the number of cracks in sample No. 1 decreased to 40, and the number of cracks in sample No. 2 decreased to 46. In the simulated early stage of deep burial at a depth of 4500-6000m, compaction diagenetic fractures were mainly non-inherited fractures. The crack widths of the two samples were comparable, with the average value decreasing from 12.40 μm to 6.05 μm. The average number of cracks in sample 1 increased from 40 to 52, and the average number of cracks in sample 2 increased from 46 to 60.

[0106] In this embodiment, the surface porosity of granite and gneiss tends to decrease with depth. When the simulated depth is 2000m, the surface porosity of No. 1 is 18.7%, and the surface porosity of No. 2 is 20.06%; when the simulated depth is 3000m, the surface porosity of No. 1 is 15.4%, and the surface porosity of No. 2 is 17.21%; when the simulated depth is 3500m, the surface porosity of No. 2 is 18.34%; when the simulated depth is 4000m, the surface porosity of No. 1 is 12.53%, and the surface porosity of No. 2 is 13.44%; when the simulated depth is 6000m, the surface porosity of No. 1 is 11.62%, and the surface porosity of No. 2 is 12.4%.

[0107] In this embodiment, the results of the rock particle size of the artificial rock sample are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the artificial rock samples were classified according to gravel grade and sand grade to obtain their crack aperture and crack number; the results of the debris particle composition of the artificial rock samples are shown in the figure. Figure 6 As shown, the crack opening and number of its main components, feldspar and quartz, were obtained.

[0108] S4: Determine the crack parameters of the actual work area

[0109] The rock samples from the actual work area were observed under a microtome and image processed to obtain the crack length, crack width, number of cracks, rock particle size, debris particle composition, and filling material content of the actual work area.

[0110] Specifically, in this embodiment, the compaction diagenetic cracks in the actual work area mainly develop in the range of 3000-4500m. The crack development types obtained by taking samples from different mines in the same work area are as follows: Figure 7 As shown in Figure 3, f, g, h, and i are the microscopic images of fracture development at BZ19-6-B 3855.75 m, BZ19-6-A 3890 m, BZ19-6-A 3780 m, and BZ19-6-A 3571 m, respectively. The fracture development status is consistent with the fracture development status between the simulated depth of 3000-4500 m in S3.

[0111] In this example, in the conglomerate reservoir of the Kongdian Formation in the BZ19-6 gas field, the average aperture of the compacted diagenetic fractures within the gravel-size particles is 14 μm, and the average number of fractures is 14; the average aperture of the compacted diagenetic fractures within the sand-size particles is 8.62 μm, and the average number of fractures is 45. These results are consistent with the simulation experimental results in S3. Both results show that gravel-size particles have larger fracture apertures and fewer fractures than sand-size particles.

[0112] In this embodiment, the fragments fractured in the actual working area are mainly feldspar, quartz and rigid rock fragments, which is consistent with the fragment composition results of the simulation experiment in S3.

[0113] Therefore, the crack development type, rock size grade and clastic particle composition of the actual work area are consistent with the simulation experiment, thereby proving the effectiveness of the simulation experiment in forming cracks.

[0114] S5: Establishing a prediction model

[0115] Based on the above parameters, the surface crack rate of each rock sample in the simulation experiment and the actual work area, and the brittleness index of each rock sample in the actual work area are calculated, thereby establishing a 3-section characteristic prediction model of the crack evolution of the deep sand-gravel reservoir in the BZ19-6 structural belt of the Bozhong Sag, which is used to predict the development of the compaction diagenetic cracks in the sand-gravel reservoir at different depths in the actual work area.

[0116] The calculation process of the surface crack rate of the cracks is as follows:

[0117] On the cast thin section, the product of the crack length and the crack width under the microscope is approximated as the crack area s, and the sum of the areas of the cracks is taken as the numerator and the statistical area is taken as the denominator, so that the surface crack rate γ of the cracks in the depth section can be calculated, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0118] s = ld

[0119]

[0120] In the formula, l- is the crack length;

[0121] d- is the crack width;

[0122] r- is the radius of the thin section.

[0123] In addition, the specific calculation process of the final brittleness index of the reservoir calculated by the two methods of mineral composition and conventional logging data is as follows:

[0124] The brittleness index (mineral) B1 calculated by the method of calculating the brittleness index of rocks using mineral composition is as follows:

[0125]

[0126] In the formula, W qtz - is the content of quartz and feldspar;

[0127] W carb - is the content of carbonate rocks;

[0128] W total - is the total mineral content of the rock.

[0129] The brittleness index (logging) B2 calculated by the method of calculating the brittleness index of rocks using conventional logging data is as follows:

[0131] The prediction model is specifically as shown in the following table: Figure 8 The fitting curve of the face fracture ratio of the fractures at different depths obtained by the compaction physical diagenetic simulation experiment is used to characterize the fracture development degree; at the same time, a compaction diagenetic fracture evolution pattern diagram obtained by the changes of the face porosity, rock grain size, detrital particle component and interstitial material content with depth is constructed. On this basis, the measured face fracture ratio of each mine in the actual work area near 3000m-4500m is counted and calculated, which is projected onto the fitting curve of the face fracture ratio with depth obtained by the compaction physical diagenetic simulation experiment, and the fitting curve of the brittleness index of the actual work area at different depths is established, and the prediction model is verified whether it is accurate by the face fracture ratio and the brittleness index of the actual work area, when the prediction model is consistent with the fracture condition of the actual work area, the prediction model is used to predict the compaction diagenetic fracture development of the sandy conglomerate reservoir at other depths in the actual work area.
