Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration, and in particular to a method and a device for predicting the porosity of a clastic rock reservoir. Background Art

[0002] This section is intended to provide a background or context to the embodiments of the invention recited in the claims. No admission is made that the description herein is prior art by inclusion in this section.

[0003] Clastic reservoirs are usually composed of many clastic particles, and pores develop in the unfilled parts between the clastic particles. The porosity of the clastic reservoir is the ratio of the total volume of pores in the clastic reservoir to the total volume of the clastic reservoir.

[0004] There are two types of methods commonly used in the prior art for predicting the porosity of deep clastic reservoirs. The first type is to establish a porosity-depth trend line and function based on the current porosity and current depth data of existing samples in a certain study area, thereby predicting the reservoir porosity at a certain depth. This is because the depth of the reservoir sample is the most easily obtained parameter that can indirectly reflect the strength of the compaction effect (i.e., the pore preservation effect). However, the disadvantage of this method is that the burial mode, temperature, and pressure environment experienced by clastic reservoirs of similar depths today may be extremely different, resulting in significant differences in the amount of compaction pore reduction (i.e., the amount of pore preservation), resulting in large differences in current porosity, and the porosity-depth function is usually poorly correlated, so the error in predicting porosity using depth is also large. The second type is to first simulate the thermal evolution history of the reservoir based on the temperature field and geological stratification data of the existing wells in the study area, calculate the thermal maturity data of the reservoir, establish the reservoir thermal maturity-porosity trend line and function, and then calculate the thermal maturity value of the target reservoir at a certain depth based on the temperature field and geological stratification data of the target layer, and use the established function to predict the porosity. The disadvantage of this method is that it only considers the difference in compaction reduction caused by different thermal evolution histories of the reservoir, and the factors considered are relatively single, resulting in low porosity prediction accuracy for deep clastic reservoirs.

[0052] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Here, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0053] First, technical terms involved in the embodiments of the present invention are explained.

[0054] Fluid Pressure, also known as Formation Pressure, refers to the pressure of the fluid in the pores of the formation. The standard unit of formation pressure is Pa. MPa is usually used in geological research.

[0055] Hydrostatic Pressure: refers to the formation pressure when the formation fluid is connected to the surface water system.

[0056] Lopatin method: Modern petroleum genesis research has proved that temperature and time are the main influencing factors in the process of organic matter hydrocarbon evolution. To be precise, temperature and hydrocarbon generation are exponentially related, and time and hydrocarbon generation are positively linearly related. Based on the above ideas, Lopatin proposed a simple method in 1969-1971 to quantitatively calculate the maturity of organic matter based on time and temperature, namely the time-temperature index (TTI for short). This method was supplemented and developed by Whippleis (1980) and has been widely used in oil and gas exploration.

[0057] It should be noted that the acquisition, storage, use, and processing of data in the technical solution of this application are in compliance with the relevant provisions of national laws and regulations.

[0058] The applicant found that the porosity prediction accuracy of clastic reservoirs in the prior art is low. To this end, the applicant proposed a porosity prediction method for clastic reservoirs. On the basis of predicting the thermal evolution history and pressure evolution history of the layer to be predicted, the time-temperature index and time-pressure index of the layer to be predicted are calculated, and a porosity prediction model for deep reservoirs and ultra-deep reservoirs is established to quantitatively evaluate the effects of different thermal histories and pressure evolution histories on the compaction porosity reduction, so that the porosity of clastic reservoirs at a certain depth can be accurately predicted.

[0059] Figure 1FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a process for predicting the porosity of a clastic reservoir in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0060] Step 101, obtaining geological data of a layer to be predicted in a clastic reservoir; the geological data includes temperature evolution data, pressure evolution data, and original porosity before burial;

[0061] Step 102: establishing a first function model of the evolution of the temperature of the layer to be predicted with the burial time according to the temperature evolution data of the layer to be predicted;

[0062] Step 103: establishing a second function model of the evolution of the pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time according to the pressure evolution data of the layer to be predicted;

[0063] Step 104: Determine TTI according to the first function model;

[0064] Step 105: Determine a time pressure index according to the second function model; the time pressure index reflects the law of the change of fluid overpressure in the layer to be predicted with time;

[0065] Step 106: Input the TTI, time-pressure index, and original porosity before burial of the layer to be predicted into a pre-established prediction model, and output the current porosity of the layer to be predicted. The prediction model reflects the correlation between the TTI, time-pressure index, original porosity before burial, and current porosity of the clastic reservoir.

[0066] from Figure 1It can be seen from the process shown that in the embodiment of the present invention, geological data of the layer to be predicted in the clastic reservoir are obtained, a first function model of the evolution of the temperature of the layer to be predicted with the burial time and a second function model of the evolution of the pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time are established, and TTI and time-pressure index are determined respectively. The time-pressure index reflects the law of change of fluid overpressure in the layer to be predicted with the burial time. Finally, the porosity of the layer to be predicted is determined using the original porosity of the layer to be predicted before burial, TTI and time-pressure index. The embodiment of the present invention takes into account the porosity of the clastic reservoir. On the one hand, the environmental temperature factor is considered, and the influence of the environmental temperature on the porosity is characterized by TTI. The higher the environmental temperature of the reservoir, the stronger the compaction effect, which ultimately affects the reservoir porosity. On the other hand, the pressure factor is considered, and the time pressure index is proposed to characterize the influence of pressure on the porosity. The time pressure index is determined according to the second function model of the evolution of the pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time, reflecting the law of the change of fluid overpressure with time. The fluid overpressure will inevitably affect the stress between the reservoir clastic particles, thereby affecting the porosity. Finally, the original porosity of the layer to be predicted before burial, TTI, time pressure index and the pre-established prediction model are used to output the current porosity of the layer to be predicted. The embodiment of the present invention predicts the porosity by the underground temperature environment of the layer to be predicted and the pressure on the clastic particles, that is, on the basis of considering thermal evolution, the influence of pressure evolution on porosity is further considered, thereby improving the prediction accuracy of the porosity of the clastic reservoir.

[0067] The porosity prediction method of clastic reservoir in the embodiment of the present invention is explained in detail below.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present invention, it is considered that the clastic reservoir is usually composed of many clastic particles, and pores are developed in the unfilled parts between the clastic particles. The porosity of the clastic reservoir is the proportion of the total volume of pores in the clastic reservoir to the total volume of the reservoir. During the burial process, the clastic reservoir is affected by the compaction caused by the overburden load or tectonic stress, and the particle arrangement will gradually become tighter, the pore volume will shrink, and the porosity will gradually decrease. The main controlling factors for the reduction of porosity are the underground temperature environment of the reservoir and the stress magnitude of the reservoir clastic particles. On the one hand, the depth of the reservoir usually increases gradually during the underground burial process. The higher the depth, the higher the underground temperature. The higher the environmental temperature of the reservoir, the stronger the compaction effect is usually, which affects the final porosity of the reservoir. On the other hand, the reservoir pores are usually filled with fluids, such as groundwater or oil and gas. Under the condition of a certain total confining pressure, if the fluid pressure in the reservoir is higher, the stress between the particles will be reduced accordingly. Therefore, the fluid pressure environment of the reservoir will also affect the strength of the compaction effect, and then affect the size of the final porosity, where the total confining pressure is equal to the sum of the fluid pressure in the reservoir and the stress between the particles. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present invention, the effects of temperature and pressure on the reservoir porosity are considered at the same time.

[0069] During specific implementation, in step 101, geological data of the layer to be predicted in the clastic reservoir is obtained, and the geological data includes temperature evolution data, pressure evolution data, and original porosity before burial.

[0070] For example, collect and organize relevant geological data of the layer to be predicted, including but not limited to burial history background data, temperature evolution data, and pressure evolution data.

[0071] The burial history background data include one of the following or any combination: geological stratification and thickness data of each stratum of the target well point, tectonic evolution history data of the target well point, stratum erosion volume, tectonic uplift volume data, lithology data of each stratum of the target well point, total organic carbon (TOC) content data, etc.

[0072] Among them, the original porosity of the layer to be predicted before burial can be determined based on the lithological data of the layer to be predicted at the target well point, such as information such as the original grain size, sorting, and rigid particle content of the reservoir.

[0073] Temperature evolution data include one or any combination of the following: current formation temperature data of the target well point or the same working area, adjacent wells, (paleo)historical geothermal gradient data, (paleo)historical heat flow value data, thermal conductivity data of different formations, etc.

[0074] Pressure evolution data include one or any combination of the following: current formation pressure test data of the same study area or adjacent wells, fluid inclusion (paleo)historical pressure data, current stratified pressure data interpreted by geophysical methods, etc.

[0075] Afterwards, in steps 102 and 103, a first function model for the evolution of the temperature of the layer to be predicted with the burial time and a second function model for the evolution of the pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time are established respectively.

[0076] During implementation, the reservoir burial history is restored and reconstructed based on the acquired data. The reservoir burial history is a function of the evolution of the depth, temperature, and formation pressure of the layer to be predicted over the burial time. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the first function model of the evolution of the temperature of the layer to be predicted with the burial time in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 The second function model schematic diagram of the evolution of the pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time in the embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. The restoration and reconstruction of the burial history can be done manually or by using existing geological software.

[0077] In step 104, TTI is determined according to the first function model.

[0078] For example, refer to Figure 2The first function model in is used to determine TTI. In one embodiment, the Lopatin method (Lopatin, 1971) is used to determine TTI according to the first function model. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0079]

[0080] In the formula, r is the temperature factor, which is generally 2. The index n is related to the temperature range of the layer to be predicted. It takes 100-110℃ as the base and takes 0. The high temperature range increases by 1, and the low temperature range decreases by 1. For example, 90-100℃ takes -1, 100-110℃ takes 0, 110-110℃ takes 1, 110-120℃ takes 2, and so on. i Represents the duration of the layer to be predicted in this temperature range, n min is the initial time in the temperature range of the layer to be predicted, n max is the end time of the temperature interval of the layer to be predicted. i × n By accumulating, the total TTI value of the layer to be predicted can be obtained.

[0081] In step 105, a time pressure index is determined according to the second function model; the time pressure index reflects the law of the change of the fluid overpressure in the layer to be predicted with time.

[0082] Considering that the reservoir pores are usually filled with fluids, such as groundwater or oil and gas, under the condition of a certain total confining pressure, if the fluid pressure in the reservoir is higher (i.e., fluid overpressure), the stress between the particles will be reduced accordingly. Therefore, the fluid pressure environment of the reservoir will also affect the strength of the compaction effect, and then affect the size of the final porosity. Therefore, in order to quantitatively characterize the effect of fluid overpressure on porosity, the concept of time pressure index is proposed in the embodiment of the present invention. The purpose of using this time pressure index to analyze the effect of fluid overpressure on porosity is that the size and formation time of fluid overpressure will affect the final preservation effect of the primary pores of clastic rocks. If the fluid overpressure is formed very late, the pores of the clastic reservoir have been compacted. Since compaction is an irreversible physical process, even if a strong fluid overpressure environment appears later, the porosity will not increase. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention establishes this time pressure index that combines the overpressure intensity and the overpressure formation time to analyze the effect of overpressure on porosity change.

[0083] In specific implementation, the second function model of the evolution of the pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time is used to determine the law of the change of fluid overpressure with time, and the time pressure index is calculated by integral calculation.

[0084] In order to improve the accuracy of clastic reservoir porosity prediction, in one embodiment, the pressure considered in this solution includes fluid pressure and hydrostatic pressure, and the second function model includes a function model of the evolution of the fluid pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time and a function model of the evolution of the hydrostatic pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time;

[0085] According to the second function model, determining the time pressure index may include:

[0086] The time pressure index is determined according to the function model of the fluid pressure of the layer to be predicted evolving with the burial time and the function model of the hydrostatic pressure of the layer to be predicted evolving with the burial time.

[0087] In this example, function models of the evolution of fluid pressure and hydrostatic pressure with time are established respectively, and the fluid overpressure is determined using the fluid pressure and hydrostatic pressure. Thus, the time pressure index is determined based on the function model of the evolution of the fluid pressure of the layer to be predicted with burial time and the function model of the evolution of the hydrostatic pressure of the layer to be predicted with burial time.

[0088] In order to further improve the accuracy of clastic reservoir porosity prediction, in one embodiment, the function model of the evolution of the fluid pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time includes: a function curve of the change of the fluid pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time;

[0089] The function model of the evolution of the hydrostatic pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time includes: a function curve of the hydrostatic pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time;

[0090] According to the function model of the evolution of fluid pressure of the layer to be predicted with burial time and the function model of the evolution of hydrostatic pressure of the layer to be predicted with burial time, the time pressure index is determined, including:

[0091] According to the function curve of the fluid pressure of the layer to be predicted changing with the burial time and the function curve of the hydrostatic pressure of the layer to be predicted changing with the burial time, integral calculation is performed along the time direction to obtain the integral value corresponding to the fluid pressure and the integral value corresponding to the hydrostatic pressure;

[0092] The time pressure index is obtained according to the integral value corresponding to the fluid pressure and the integral value corresponding to the hydrostatic pressure.

[0093] When implementing it, refer to Figure 2 , the time pressure index TPI (Time-Pressure Index, TPI) can be calculated according to the following formula:

[0094]

[0095] In the formula, ΔP is the excess pressure of the reservoir (which can reach fluid overpressure), that is, fluid pressure minus hydrostatic pressure; ΔT is the duration of the predicted layer under this excess pressure. Obviously, if the reservoir is always under hydrostatic pressure, ΔP is always 0, and TPI is also 0, that is, the reservoir is not affected by fluid overpressure.

[0096] Among them, the fluid pressure can be recovered by basin simulation software. Hydrostatic pressure = formation water density (ρ) × gravity acceleration (g) × formation depth (h). The calculation of TPI is the integral of ΔP over time, or it can be understood as Figure 4 The difference between the two curves after definite integration. Since the formation pressure calculated by basin simulation software is usually discrete data points, T min and T max The ΔT calculation and the final TPI accumulation calculation can also be performed according to the time assignment corresponding to each calculated pressure data point.

[0097] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the evolution history of excess pressure in a typical well reservoir in an embodiment of the present invention, showing the law of variation of excess pressure with burial time.

[0098] Finally, the TTI, time-pressure index, and original porosity before burial of the layer to be predicted are input into the pre-established prediction model, and the current porosity of the layer to be predicted is output. The prediction model reflects the correlation between the TTI, time-pressure index, original porosity before burial and current porosity of the clastic reservoir.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present invention, a prediction model is pre-established. The prediction model can be obtained in advance in the following manner:

[0100] Establish in advance the fitting formulas of TTI, time pressure index, original porosity before burial and current porosity of multiple clastic reservoirs;

[0101] The fitting formula is verified and calculated by using the historical TTI, time pressure index, original porosity before burial and actual porosity of the clastic reservoir to obtain multiple porosity calculation values;

[0102] The fitting formula corresponding to the minimum difference between the calculated porosity and the actual porosity is used as the prediction model.

[0103] During implementation, a large number of historical clastic rock formations' actual drilling TTI, TPI, original porosity data before burial, and actual porosity data are used for fitting and verification. After comparing the fitting effects of multiple fitting formulas (e.g., linear fitting, polynomial fitting, least squares fitting), the best fitting effect is selected, that is, the fitting formula corresponding to the smallest difference between the porosity calculated value and the actual porosity is selected as the prediction model. Among them, the actual porosity can be calculated using other existing more accurate methods and data.

[0104] In one embodiment, the prediction model is expressed as follows:

[0105]

[0106] It can also be obtained through mathematical transformation:

[0107]

[0108] In the formula, Φ 预测 is the current porosity of the layer to be predicted, Φ 0 is the original porosity of the predicted layer before burial, TTI is the time-temperature index value, TPI is the time-pressure index value, k, m, and n are fitting coefficients obtained by the above fitting process.

[0109] In one embodiment, k=-2, m=1, n=1.

The time pressure index is determined according to the second function model of the evolution of the pressure of the layer to be predicted with the burial time, reflecting the law of the change of fluid overpressure with the burial time. The fluid overpressure will inevitably affect the stress between the reservoir clastic particles, thereby affecting the porosity. Finally, the original porosity of the layer to be predicted before burial, TTI, time pressure index and the pre-established prediction model are used to output the current porosity of the layer to be predicted. The embodiment of the present invention predicts the porosity by the underground temperature environment of the layer to be predicted and the pressure on the clastic particles, that is, on the basis of considering thermal evolution, the influence of pressure evolution on porosity is further considered, thereby improving the prediction accuracy of the porosity of the clastic reservoir.
