Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Favorable reservoir prediction is an important research content in the field of oil and gas exploration and development, and is of great significance to guiding exploration area and layer selection and rational deployment of development well pattern. In particular, the tight sandstone reservoir has the characteristics of fine pore throat, various types, complex structure, poor correlation of porosity and permeability, nonlinear seepage, and strong heterogeneity. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out favorable reservoir prediction for finding "sweet spot" area with relatively good physical property under the overall tight background, and to realize efficient exploration and rational development of tight sandstone oil and gas resources.

[0003] At present, favorable reservoir prediction is mainly based on the comprehensive analysis of geology and geophysics. The favorable reservoir prediction based on geological data mainly analyzes the control factors of favorable reservoir development through the comparison and analysis of the differences in geological conditions between favorable reservoirs and non-favorable reservoirs based on the known favorable reservoirs. Then, the favorable reservoirs are predicted. This method needs a large amount of drilling and geological sample analysis test data, and is limited to the extension of the known favorable reservoir development area. Therefore, the prediction is relatively limited. In addition, due to the limitation of drilling and geological data, this method is not suitable for low-mature exploration areas with few wells.

[0004] In summary, for the prediction of favorable reservoirs in tight sandstone, it is necessary to develop a new method for predicting favorable reservoirs by combining geophysical data with limited geological data, which can overcome the shortcomings of the geological method and the low prediction accuracy of the geophysical data.

[0064] Example 4

[0065] As another embodiment of the present application, referring to the description attached Figure 1 , the present application comprises a method for predicting favorable reservoirs of fluvial facies tight sandstone, taking the prediction of favorable reservoirs of fluvial facies tight sandstone in a certain area of Sichuan Basin as an example, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0066] Step S1. Based on the geological and geophysical characteristics, a static geological model of fluvial facies tight sandstone reservoir is established. The reservoir diagenetic environment is restored by combining the reservoir mineralogical characteristics and present formation water composition.

[0067] Among them, based on the geological and geophysical characteristics, a static geological model of fluvial facies tight sandstone reservoir is established, which specifically comprises the following steps:

Referring to the description attached Figure 2The sand body shape of the root mean square amplitude attribute display is a typical meandering sand body formed by the point bar side accumulation of the river channel; the internal attribute strength has obvious differences, further indicating that the sand body migration inside the river channel results in the convex bank being mainly sandy deposition and the concave bank being mainly muddy deposition; meanwhile, the internal strong heterogeneity of the sandy deposition of the convex bank indicates the superimposed comprehensive geophysical response of different period sand bodies.

[0069] (2) Core observation analysis was carried out on typical coring wells, and through the different vertical superimposed relationship of lithofacies, referring to the lithofacies classification in the description Figure 3 , four kinds of lithofacies combination types were established. They are composite channel-filling sedimentary lithofacies combination (FA1), isolated channel-filling sedimentary lithofacies combination (FA2), splay sedimentary lithofacies combination (FA3), and overflow sedimentary lithofacies combination (FA4). Referring to the lithofacies combination in the description Figure 3 , Fig. (a), the composite channel-filling sedimentary lithofacies combination is mainly composed of massive conglomerate facies, trough cross-bedded sandstone facies and parallel-bedded sandstone facies. Referring to the lithofacies combination in the description Figure 3 , Fig. (b), the isolated channel-filling sedimentary lithofacies combination is mainly composed of trough cross-bedded sandstone facies and plate cross-bedded sandstone facies. Referring to the lithofacies combination in the description Figure 3 , Fig. (c), the splay sedimentary lithofacies combination is mainly composed of trough cross-bedded sandstone facies, parallel-bedded sandstone facies, normal grading sandstone facies, miscellaneous accumulation facies and sand ripple cross-bedded siltstone facies. Referring to the lithofacies combination in the description Figure 3 , Fig. (d), the overflow sedimentary lithofacies combination is mainly composed of sand ripple cross-bedded siltstone facies, horizontal-bedded siltstone facies, miscellaneous accumulation facies and purple mudstone facies. It is further confirmed that the study area is a typical fluvial facies deposition sand body.

The overall channel deposition is developed, the sandy channel deposition is surrounded by splay and overflow deposition, the internal multi-period superimposed sandy channel deposition forms a vertically normal grading superimposed channel sand body deposition, the near-end sandy channel deposition is developed, and the sand ratio is relatively high. With the increase of the transport distance, the content of sandy deposition gradually decreases, the content of muddy deposition gradually increases, and the sand ratio gradually decreases.

[0084] Step S 23Based on the water-rock numerical simulation software platform PetraSim, combined with the above experimental principle and experimental steps, the starting time, ending time, maximum time step and other simulation processing related steps of the water-rock numerical simulation are set, and then the diagenetic simulation of different minerals is carried out, and the three-dimensional spatial distribution characteristics of the main cement of the target layer in the research area, i.e. laumontite, calcite and kaolinite, are studied. Specifically, the three-dimensional spatial distribution characteristics of the laumontite are as shown in the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 9 , the three-dimensional spatial distribution characteristics of the calcite are as shown in the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 10 , and the three-dimensional spatial distribution characteristics of the kaolinite are as shown in the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 11 .

[0085] In order to more intuitively display the distribution characteristics of minerals in different regions and different directions, three north-south lines and three east-west lines are selected for the target layer in the research area, and the basis for selecting the lines is mainly to refer to the sand body distribution characteristics in the research area to display the mineral distribution law in the key well area. In the simulation results, the blue area represents a region with relatively low mineral content, and the red area represents a region with relatively high mineral content. The correlation between the laumontite precipitation area and the mudstone interface is not obvious, the laumontite is developed in the relatively good thick sand body, and is mainly controlled by the material composition and fluid migration. The distribution of calcite is obviously controlled by the adjacent mudstone, and the calcite presents a high value near the mudstone, the calcite content in the middle of the thick sand body is low, and is mainly controlled by the sand body thickness and exogenous carbonate. The distribution of kaolinite presents a relatively high value at the upper interface, and atmospheric fresh water leaching may be the main source of exogenous kaolinite, and feldspar dissolution provides part of the endogenous kaolinite source.

[0086] Step S3. Further constrain the geophysical prediction results by the numerical simulation results to realize the favorable reservoir prediction combining geology and geophysics.

[0087] Specifically, according to the results of the diagenetic numerical simulation, the internal heterogeneity of the favorable reservoir predicted by the geophysics is corrected, the laumontite, calcite and kaolinite strong cementation areas are superimposed on the plane, and the laumontite, calcite and kaolinite strong cementation areas are deducted from the original geophysical prediction of the favorable reservoir distribution area, i.e. the more accurate favorable reservoir distribution area, as shown in the accompanying drawings of the specification ​ , thereby realizing the purpose of accurate prediction of the favorable reservoir in the low mature exploration area.

[0088] In summary, after reading the present application document, according to the technical scheme and technical concept of the present application, various corresponding transformation schemes made by ordinary skilled personnel in the art without creative mental effort are all within the scope of protection of the present application.
