Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of petroleum exploration and development, in particular to a method for dividing shale horizontal well fracturing sections based on well logging curves. Background Art

[0002] In the current oilfield exploration and development, shale oil and gas has gradually become an important field for oil and gas replacement. In addition to geological conditions, the effect of engineering transformation is the key to shale oil and gas production. However, before the transformation of shale reservoirs, it is necessary to identify the reservoir lithology in order to explore reserves and build production capacity. However, the current shale reservoir classification standards are mainly based on the evaluation of oil and gas content, which cannot effectively distinguish lithology, and thus it is impossible to establish a standard for fracturing segment division. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the deficiency of the existing shale reservoir classification standard that cannot distinguish reservoir lithology, the present invention provides a shale horizontal well fracturing section division method based on well logging curves. The shale horizontal well fracturing section division method based on well logging curves can effectively evaluate reservoir lithology and can more accurately divide horizontal well fracturing sections, thereby providing assistance for well logging evaluation of reservoirs and oilfield exploration and development.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is: a method for selecting sections for shale horizontal well fracturing based on well logging curves, comprising:

[0005] S1. Obtain logging curves of several shale horizontal wells;

[0006] S2. Establishing lithology stratification standards for horizontal wells in shale reservoirs according to the shale reservoirs corresponding to the well logging curves;

[0007] S3, obtaining the logging curve of the horizontal well to be tested, and classifying the shale reservoir of the horizontal well to be tested according to the stratification standard in step S2.

[0008] Furthermore, the stratification standard is: according to the natural gamma, resistivity, acoustic wave time difference, neutron and density in the logging curve, the shale reservoir is divided into four categories, including pure shale reservoir, transitional reservoir, tight reservoir and fracture reservoir.

[0009] Furthermore, the pure shale reservoir is divided into high organic pure shale and medium organic pure shale, wherein the natural gamma value of high organic pure shale is 113-157gAP1, the resistivity value is 11.1-26.3ohm.m, the acoustic time difference value is 67-78us / ft, the neutron value is 20.2-26.5%, and the density value is 2.44-2.57g / cm 3The natural gamma value of pure organic shale is 97-162gAP1, the resistivity value is 7.2-21.3ohm.m, the acoustic time difference value is 66-77us / ft, the neutron value is 17.4-26.8%, and the density value is 2.41-2.58g / cm 3 .

[0010] Furthermore, the natural gamma value of the transitional reservoir is 81-153gAP1, the resistivity value is 7.8-27.6ohm.m, the acoustic time difference value is 60-75us / ft, the neutron value is 15.3-25.4%, and the density value is 2.46-2.61g / cm 3 .

[0011] Furthermore, the dense reservoir is divided into near-wellbore reservoir and far-wellbore reservoir, wherein the near-wellbore reservoir has a natural gamma value of 98-130gAP1, a resistivity value of 7.6-44.35ohm.m, an acoustic time difference value of 65-70us / ft, a neutron value of 15.4-21.5%, and a density value of 2.52-2.62g / cm 3 The natural gamma value of the reservoir at the far end of the wellbore is 116-149gAP1, the resistivity value is 8.2-75.4ohm.m, the acoustic time difference value is 65-74us / ft, the neutron value is 18.7-24.0%, and the density value is 2.46-2.58g / cm 3 .

[0012] Furthermore, the natural gamma value of the fractured reservoir is 93-113gAP1, the resistivity value is 8.1-19.4ohm.m, the acoustic time difference value is 65-70us / ft, the neutron value is 17.1-24.4%, and the density value is 2.52-2.58g / cm 3 .

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: By adopting the above scheme, the present invention solves the problem that the existing reservoir classification standard can evaluate the oil and gas content of the reservoir but cannot determine the reservoir lithology. According to the horizontal well curve and its corresponding target layer characteristics, the horizontal well fracturing section can be divided more accurately, which provides assistance for logging evaluation of reservoirs and oilfield exploration and development. The actual application effect is remarkable and has great promotion value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
