[0002] The current oil and gas exploration is mainly carried out for conventional sandstone reservoirs in clastic rock areas and inter-salt shale oil in chemical rock areas. The sedimentary transition zone between clastic rock and chemical rock (transition from clastic rock to chemical rock) is still in an exploration blank zone. The main problems in this area are unclear lithology distribution, unclear reservoir characteristics of different lithologies, and unclear transition phase zone accumulation model.

[0003] Previous studies believed that the lithology of the transitional phase zone is mainly sandstone and mudstone. The conventional mud content model was used to obtain the mud content and sandstone content, but the existence of carbonate rocks and other lithologies was ignored, which directly affected the establishment of the model of mineral content and logging parameters, resulting in large errors in the calculation results. At the same time, for parameters such as porosity, the porosity model of adjacent sandstone formations was mainly used, so that the porosity values ​​obtained were generally small.

[0027] The characteristics and performance of the well logging modeling method for transitional phase mixed sedimentary rocks of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a well logging modeling method for transitional phase mixed sedimentary rocks, which includes the following steps:

[0029] S1. Based on the natural gamma curve, acoustic time difference curve, density curve and other logging curves, combined with logging, gas logging, thin section analysis and other data, the logging response characteristics of the three lithologies are clarified as intraclastic limestone with medium-high density and high resistivity, intraclastic sandstone with medium-low density and medium-low resistivity, and felsic micrite dolomite with high density and medium-low resistivity. The target intervals of the mixed rock are divided according to the logging response characteristics, such as Figure 3 As shown, the target intervals of the mixed sedimentary rocks are 2272.4-2276.2m and 2277.4-2282.6m;

[0030] S2. According to the correlation analysis of the core measured data and the logging curve of the target layer of the mixed rock, the mineral content and porosity of the target layer of the mixed rock are closely correlated with the natural gamma (GR), density (DEN), and acoustic transit time (AC) logging indicators. Natural gamma (GR), density (DEN), and acoustic transit time (AC) are selected as the original data for calculating the mineral content and porosity, and sampling and editing are performed in a point-by-point sampling mode (generally 8 points / 1m);

[0031] S3, based on the regional marker layer, the values ​​of the natural gamma logging curve, density logging curve, and acoustic time difference logging curve selected in step S2 are standardized;

[0032] S3. Establish a multi-mineral logging interpretation model, using the optimal mathematical calculation method and object-oriented programming.

Figure 2 It can be seen that the forward synthetic curve ( Figure 2 The thin blue dashed line) and the measured curve ( Figure 2 The middle red thick solid line) is in good agreement, indicating that the optimized multi-mineral logging interpretation model and the calculation results are accurate and reliable;

[0035] S6. Use the optimized multi-mineral logging interpretation model to calculate the target mineral component content and porosity. Figure 3 As shown, the target layer section is 2272.4-2276.2m, with a thickness of 3.8m, a clay content of 20.2%, a sand content of 38.4%, a carbonate content of 40.4%, and a porosity of 3.7%. It is comprehensively interpreted as a dry layer (containing oil); the target layer section is 2277.4-2281.8m, with a thickness of 4.4m, a clay content of 21.6%, a sand content of 31.6%, a carbonate content of 42.6%, and a porosity of 2.6%. It is comprehensively interpreted as a dry layer (containing oil); the target layer section is 2281.8-2282.6m, with a thickness of 0.8m, a clay content of 36.8%, a sand content of 22.4%, a carbonate content of 41.7%, and a porosity of 8.8%. It is comprehensively interpreted as an oil layer.
