Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0036] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for simulating diagenetic traps according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a method for simulating diagenetic traps, comprising the following steps:
[0037] Collect porosity and permeability parameters of downhole diagenetic traps;
[0038] Based on the porosity and permeability parameters of the diagenetic trap, the experimental materials are proportioned;
[0039] Based on the proportioned experimental materials, a diagenetic trap experimental model is produced;
[0040] Based on the diagenetic trap experimental model, structural deformation and oil and gas filling experiments were carried out.
[0041] The application collects porosity and permeability data of the target area of the rock cycle trap, and adjusts the proportion of the experimental material to make the rock cycle experimental model meeting the physical property requirements, which is used to simulate the porosity and permeability of different rock cycle traps.
[0042] In some embodiments, the specific steps of collecting the porosity and permeability parameters of the downhole rock cycle trap are as follows:
[0043] The porosity and permeability of different rock cycle traps are tested or calculated by using core or logging data.
[0044] The porosity and permeability of different rock cycle traps are calculated by core testing or logging data, which provides accurate data basis for subsequent preparation of experimental materials and improves the accuracy of the rock cycle experimental model.
[0045] In some embodiments, the specific steps of adjusting the proportion of the experimental material based on the porosity and permeability parameters of the rock cycle trap are as follows:
[0046] The porosity and permeability of different volume proportions of quartz sand and silicon powder are obtained, and the quantitative relationship between different volume proportions and porosity and permeability is determined; wherein the quartz sand and silicon powder need to be mixed uniformly before measurement.
[0047] Based on the porosity and permeability parameters of the actual rock cycle trap underground, the volume proportion of quartz sand and silicon powder is adjusted.
[0048] In some embodiments, the volume proportion of quartz sand and silicon powder is 1:1-4.
[0049] When the volume proportion of quartz sand and silicon powder is 1:1-4, the experimental material representing different rock stages can accurately simulate the porosity and permeability of the rock cycle trap.
[0050] In some embodiments, the porosity of the experimental material ranges from 2.1 to 5%.
[0051] In some embodiments, the permeability of the experimental material ranges from 0.01 to 1 md.
[0052] In one embodiment, when the volume proportion of quartz sand and silicon powder is 1:1, the rock with a porosity of 5% and a permeability of 1 md in the sedimentary rock stage can be simulated.
[0053] In one embodiment, when the volume proportion of quartz sand and silicon powder is 1:2, the rock with a porosity of 4% and a permeability of 0.3 md in the sedimentary rock stage can be simulated.
[0054] In one embodiment, when the volume ratio of quartz sand to silica powder is 1:3, a rock with a porosity of 3% and a permeability of 0.2 md in the sedimentary diagenesis stage can be simulated;
[0055] In one embodiment, when the volume ratio of quartz sand to silica powder is 1:4, a rock with a porosity of 2.1% and a permeability of 0.01 md in the sedimentary diagenesis stage can be simulated.
[0056] Although the above description uses quartz sand and silica fume volume ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 as examples, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various combinations of quartz sand and silica fume volume ratios can be used, such as 1:1.1, 1:1.9, 1:3.2, and 1:4.5. Those skilled in the art can comprehensively consider the ratios of the present invention and actual application scenarios, as long as the simulation method of the present invention can be implemented.
[0057] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of a diagenetic trap experimental model according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps for making a diagenetic trap experimental model based on the experimental materials in the proportion are as follows:
[0058] Determine the scope and boundaries of diagenetic traps based on the peak and trough information in seismic reflection profiles;
[0059] Using the amplitude information of the seismic reflection profile, under the constraints of the porosity and permeability measured in multiple wells, an inversion is performed to obtain the porosity and permeability profile of the diagenetic trap. For example, the inversion can be performed under the constraints of the porosity and permeability measured in three wells; wherein wells 1, 2, and 3 are spaced apart, and well 2 passes through the diagenetic trap area;
[0060] Based on the well-proportioned experimental materials and the porosity and permeability profiles of the diagenetic trap, strata with different porosity and permeability in the diagenetic trap are simulated to obtain the diagenetic trap experimental model.
[0061] Although the above description uses the example of performing an inversion under the constraints of porosity and permeability measured by three wells as an example, the present invention is not limited to this example. The present invention can also utilize porosity and permeability data measured by multiple wells, such as four, five, six, or seven wells. Those skilled in the art can comprehensively consider the principles of the present invention and actual application scenarios, as long as the principles of the present invention can be implemented.
[0062] By using well-proportioned experimental materials and based on the diagenetic trap status described by seismic data, a diagenetic trap experimental model of the target area can be quickly and accurately produced, which can simulate the physical property differences at different diagenetic stages during the formation of diagenetic traps.
[0063] The produced diagenetic trap experimental model can simulate the structural deformation of the diagenetic trap caused by structural compression or tension after its formation, and can be filled with oil and gas.
[0064] In some embodiments, based on the diagenetic trap experimental model, the specific steps of conducting the structural deformation and oil and gas filling experiment are as follows:
[0065] Based on the above-mentioned diagenetic trap experimental model, a series of experimental studies can be carried out on oil and gas filling (surface filling), late structural deformation, etc.
[0066] The present invention has been applied to the basic theoretical research on different types of diagenetic traps in basins such as the Junggar and Tarim Basins, and has provided guidance for exploration deployment.
[0067] Core data were used to test the porosity and permeability of the reservoir caprocks in different diagenetic traps. The porosity of the rocks surrounding the diagenetic trap was 3% and the permeability was 0.2 md / d. The diagenetic trap area was divided into a left side and a right side. The porosity of the rocks in the left area was 5% and the permeability was 1 md / d; the porosity of the rocks in the right area was 4% and the permeability was 0.3 md / d.
[0068] According to the porosity and permeability of different diagenetic trap reservoir caprocks, the volume ratios of quartz sand and silica fume are 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3, respectively;
[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, the scope and boundary of the diagenetic trap are determined based on the peak and trough information in the seismic reflection profile;
[0070] Using the amplitude information of the seismic reflection profile, under the constraints of the porosity and permeability measured in wells 1-3, an inversion was performed to obtain the porosity and permeability profiles of the diagenetic trap;
[0071] Based on the porosity and permeability profiles of well-proportioned experimental materials and diagenetic traps, it is used to simulate strata with different porosity and permeability in diagenetic traps (such as Figure 3 ), and a diagenetic trap experimental model was obtained; wherein, quartz sand and silica powder with a volume ratio of 1:3 were used to simulate the strata surrounding the diagenetic trap, and the diagenetic trap area was divided into a left area and a right area. Quartz sand and silica powder with a volume ratio of 1:1 were used to simulate the left area of the diagenetic trap, and quartz sand and silica powder with a volume ratio of 1:2 were used to simulate the right area of the diagenetic trap;
[0072] The oil and gas injection conduit is set below the diagenetic trap, and the dyed white oil (such as Figure 3 shown);
[0073] Observe whether the diagenetic trap experimental model is filled with dyed white oil. If the filling is successful, it means that the diagenetic trap may form an underground reservoir and an exploratory well can be deployed. Otherwise, it is recommended not to drill a well.
