Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploration and development, and relates to a method for identifying reservoir water content based on light hydrocarbon logging. Background Art
[0002] Mud logging comprehensive interpretation and evaluation is an important evaluation technology for oil and gas exploration and development. Conventional oil and gas layer logging interpretation and evaluation technology has been widely used through years of practice and summary, and has achieved good results. Mud logging comprehensive evaluation technology includes multiple single logging technologies, among which light hydrocarbon logging is one of the evaluation technologies frequently used in the exploration and development of oil and gas fields. Although it has been widely used, in the identification of reservoir oil-water interface and the evaluation of reservoir water content, due to the large number of parameters, they are only in a qualitative and semi-quantitative state, and some parameters have not been deeply explored.
[0003] Light hydrocarbon logging is a logging method that combines sample pretreatment technology with gas chromatography analysis technology, takes cuttings, drilling fluid, borehole coring and rock cores as research objects, and interprets and evaluates reservoir fluid properties by detecting the content, composition and distribution characteristics of light hydrocarbons in reservoir samples and applying geochemical theories. There are many light hydrocarbon parameters obtained through light hydrocarbon logging, and the oil content of the reservoir can be interpreted based on its physical and chemical properties. It can quickly and accurately evaluate oil, gas and water layers, but the water content of the reservoir cannot be quantitatively evaluated.
[0004] CN 111221050A discloses a method and device for identifying oil and water layers, the method comprising: obtaining continuous light hydrocarbon logging data of different depths; extracting data pairs corresponding to nC6, nC7 and nC8 of different depths from the continuous light hydrocarbon logging data in the form of data pairs of "retention time, relative percentage of components", all of which are oil and gas light hydrocarbon components; performing data fitting on the data pairs corresponding to nC6, nC7 and nC8 of different depths respectively, and determining the corresponding morphological factors of different depths; and performing qualitative identification and quantitative interpretation of oil and water layers according to the corresponding morphological factors of different depths. The method is to perform data fitting based on light hydrocarbon logging data, but the fitting function used in the data fitting and the obtained morphological factors have a narrow application range, have different application ranges for reservoirs of different depths, and cannot perform an overall evaluation of reservoir fluid properties.
[0005] CN 107392505A discloses a comprehensive interpretation and evaluation method for logging engineering in exploration and development of natural gas hydrates, which includes: real-time acquisition, processing, storage, recording and calculation by gas detection analyzer, engineering logging instrument and light hydrocarbon analyzer to obtain various logging parameters; classifying and screening all acquired logging parameters, analyzing and determining data items that can be used as comprehensive interpretation and evaluation parameters for logging engineering of natural gas hydrates; integrating key parameters and geological anomaly degree with the screened determined data to divide reservoirs; substituting logging engineering interpretation and evaluation parameters into various interpretation and evaluation standards to obtain comprehensive interpretation conclusions. This method mainly conducts comprehensive interpretation and evaluation on natural gas hydrate reservoirs, which is equivalent to the evaluation of gas-bearing reservoirs. The selected parameter data items are numerous and do not involve the evaluation of reservoir water content.
[0006] In summary, for the identification of oil-water interface in oil and gas reservoirs and the evaluation of reservoir water content, it is also necessary to select appropriate light hydrocarbon logging parameters, and use the correlation between parameters to quantitatively interpret and evaluate the properties of reservoir fluids, improve the compliance rate of reservoir interpretation and evaluation, and reduce the cost of oil and gas resource exploration and development. Summary of the invention
[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for identifying the water content of reservoirs based on light hydrocarbon logging. The method utilizes light hydrocarbon logging technology to select light hydrocarbon parameters such as total hydrocarbon abundance, benzene, toluene, etc., to form two-dimensional and three-dimensional maps, so as to quantitatively identify the water content of reservoir fluids, improve the compliance rate of actual interpretation and evaluation of reservoir fluids, effectively reduce the cost of oilfield exploration and development, and achieve the purpose of improving the effect of oil testing.
[0008] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0009] The present invention provides a method for identifying reservoir water content based on light hydrocarbon logging, the method comprising the following steps:
[0010] (1) Obtaining light hydrocarbon logging data of the oil and gas reservoir to be evaluated;
[0011] (2) selecting total hydrocarbon abundance, benzene and toluene / benzene in the light hydrocarbon logging data of step (1) as light hydrocarbon parameters;
[0012] (3) A two-dimensional map is established by the intersection of benzene and toluene / benzene in the light hydrocarbon parameters of step (2), and a three-dimensional map is established by the changes in total hydrocarbon abundance, benzene and toluene / benzene, so as to delineate the boundaries of oil layers, oil-water layers and oil-water layers, and quantitatively interpret and evaluate the fluid properties of the reservoir.
[0013] In the present invention, the exploration and development of oil and gas fields requires an understanding of the characteristics of reservoirs at different locations. By adopting light hydrocarbon logging technology, light hydrocarbon logging data of reservoirs at different depths are obtained. Then, according to the needs of interpretation and evaluation of reservoir fluid properties, such as water content, total hydrocarbon abundance, benzene (BZ), and toluene (TOL) of light hydrocarbons are selected as main preferred parameters. A two-dimensional interpretation map is established through the intersection of benzene and toluene / benzene. A visual three-dimensional interpretation map is established through the changes in total hydrocarbon abundance, benzene, and toluene / benzene. The properties of reservoir fluids and the boundaries of different reservoir oil layers, oil-water layers, and oil-water layers are quantitatively and accurately determined, the oil and water content of the reservoir is effectively identified, the compliance rate of actual interpretation and evaluation of reservoir fluids is improved, the oil test effect is better, and a scientific basis is provided for the selection of oil test layers, thereby reducing the cost of oil field exploration and development.
[0014] The following are preferred technical solutions of the present invention, but are not intended to be limitations of the technical solutions provided by the present invention. Through the following technical solutions, the technical objectives and beneficial effects of the present invention can be better achieved and realized.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the light hydrocarbon logging data in step (1) is obtained by combining sample pretreatment technology and gas chromatography technology.
[0016] In the present invention, the process of obtaining light hydrocarbon logging parameters includes: sealing the rock cuttings or drilling fluid returned to the ground during the drilling process in a bottle, desorbing and volatilizing the gas through changes in pressure and temperature of the sample, and gradually achieving a gas-liquid equilibrium state between the volatile components in the bottle and the headspace gas, injecting the gas-liquid equilibrium sample into the instrument, separating each compound through changes in different temperatures, so that each component is retained by the stationary phase for a different time, and thus flows out of the stationary phase in a certain order, and finally obtaining a chromatogram of the light hydrocarbon component and a peak area integral after detection by a detector, and then obtaining light hydrocarbon parameters. The relationship between the gas phase of the light hydrocarbon parameters and the volatile hydrocarbons in the liquid phase can be described by Raoult's law.
[0017] Preferably, the light hydrocarbons in step (1) include C1-C9 alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons, and the alkanes include normal alkanes, isoalkanes and cycloalkanes.
[0018] In the present invention, the components that can be analyzed by the light hydrocarbon logging instrument include normal alkanes, isoalkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons, which are important components of petroleum and natural gas. The oil content of the reservoir is interpreted based on the physical and chemical properties of the above hydrocarbon compounds, and the oil, gas and water layers and water-washed / flooded layers can be quickly and accurately evaluated.
[0019] Preferably, the sample points in the oil and gas reservoir in step (1) are selected from particle samples at different depths.
[0020] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the total hydrocarbon abundance in the light hydrocarbon parameter in step (2) is related to the oil abundance of different reservoirs.
[0021] Preferably, the total hydrocarbon abundance of the oil layer is greater than the total hydrocarbon abundance of the oil-water layer and the oil-water layer in the same region.
[0022] In the present invention, the selection of the light hydrocarbon parameters focuses on the fact that the content and distribution of light hydrocarbon compounds in crude oil not only depend on the genesis type of crude oil, but also depend to a greater extent on the degree of thermal evolution and the intensity of secondary evolution it has suffered. The oil and gas in the same block and adjacent strata can be simply considered to have the same degree of thermal evolution and the same intensity of secondary evolution. The difference in their light hydrocarbon parameters is related to the reservoir properties. Based on this change, the optimization of parameters for light hydrocarbon logging to evaluate reservoir fluid properties must follow three factors: one is the abundance and distribution of light hydrocarbons, the second is chemical stability, and the third is the solubility of light hydrocarbons in water.
[0023] The total hydrocarbon abundance of light hydrocarbons is related to the oil abundance of the oil layer. Under the same analysis and sampling conditions, the light hydrocarbon abundance of the oil layer in the same area is much greater than that of the oil-water layer and other reservoirs. The relative size of the light hydrocarbon content and integral value can be used to determine the properties of the reservoir fluid.
[0024] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the benzene and toluene described in step (2) have the highest solubility and sensitivity to water among the light hydrocarbon logging parameters.
[0025] Preferably, as the water content in the reservoir increases, the light hydrocarbon parameters of benzene and toluene decrease.
[0026] Preferably, the decreasing rate of benzene is higher than the decreasing rate of toluene.
[0027] In the present invention, due to the long-term coexistence of oil and water in the same layer, under the action of water, the secondary evolution degree is high, resulting in the reduction or disappearance of light hydrocarbons that are easily soluble in water and chemically unstable. Among them, benzene and toluene have the highest solubility and sensitivity to water in the light hydrocarbon logging parameters. According to this change factor of light hydrocarbons, the present invention mainly selects the light hydrocarbon total hydrocarbon abundance, benzene, and toluene as the main preferred parameters;
[0028] The basis for the division of oil layers, oil-water layers and oil-water layers: 1) When the reservoir is saturated with oil, the total hydrocarbon abundance of light hydrocarbons, benzene and toluene parameter values are relatively high; 2) When the reservoir is not saturated with oil and contains water, the aromatic hydrocarbons in the light hydrocarbon compounds, mainly benzene and toluene, will undergo regular changes. The decreasing rate of benzene is higher than that of toluene, which is due to the difference in their solubility in water; 3) The toluene / benzene relationship was selected based on the difference in the solubility of benzene and toluene in water, and the boundary of the reservoir oil layer, oil-water layer and oil-water layer was determined by the relationship between the two and the change in total hydrocarbon abundance.
[0029] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the two-dimensional spectrum in step (3) has the light hydrocarbon parameter value of benzene as the horizontal coordinate and the light hydrocarbon parameter value of toluene / benzene as the vertical coordinate.
