[0002] In recent years, with the gradual increase of the degree of shallow oil and gas exploration, oil and gas exploration gradually extends to deep layers-super deep layers. More than 60% of oil and gas resources in deep layers-super deep layers are distributed in clastic rocks, and the foreland basin is one of the most typical representatives of deep layer-super deep layer clastic rock exploration. The complex tectonic evolution, burial process and diagenetic modification of the foreland basin make the clastic rock reservoir have strong heterogeneity characteristics. Remodeling the reservoir porosity evolution process is the key to understanding the control factors of reservoir development and revealing the formation mechanism of high-quality reservoirs. The existing methods for restoring the porosity evolution of clastic rock reservoirs in the geological history period do not consider the compaction porosity reduction caused by lateral extrusion of the foreland basin, and cannot be applied to the restoration of reservoir porosity evolution under the background of tectonic extrusion.

[0028] Embodiment 1
[0029] A method for restoring porosity evolution of a clastic rock reservoir under a tectonic extrusion background comprises the following steps:
[0030] (1) establishing a function relationship of lateral compaction porosity reduction and maximum paleo-tectonic stress
[0031] Selecting 139 sandstone samples in a certain research area, the sorting coefficient So of the samples is obtained by laser particle size analysis of sediments, and the original porosity φ of each sample is calculated according to the function relationship between porosity and sorting coefficient So, φ = 20.91 + 22.90 / So 原 .
[0032] The sample is prepared into a plunger sample with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 3-5 cm, and the present porosity φ of each sample is obtained by plunger sample measurement 今 .
[0033] The sample is prepared into a casting sheet, and the total face porosity φ of each sample, the face porosity of each type of dissolution pore, the face porosity of each type of cement, and the face porosity of each type of microcrack are obtained by casting sheet image analysis under an optical microscope 面 ; wherein the face porosity of the i-th type of dissolution pore is denoted as φ 面溶i , i = 1, 2, …, n, n being the number of types of dissolution pores; the face porosity of the j-th type of cement is denoted as φ 面胶j , j = 1, 2, …, m, m being the number of types of cements; and the face porosity of the k-th type of microcrack is denoted as φ 面缝k , k = 1, 2, …, p, p being the number of types of microcracks.
[0034] As shown in Figure 1 , according to the present porosity φ 今 and the total face porosity φ 面 of the sample, a function relationship between the present porosity and the total face porosity is established as follows:
[0035] The face porosity of each type of dissolution pore, the face porosity of each type of cement, and the face porosity of each type of microcrack are respectively substituted into the function relationship between the present porosity and the total face porosity to obtain the contribution amount of each type of dissolution pore, the contribution amount of each type of cement, and the contribution amount of each type of microcrack, wherein the contribution amount of the i-th type of dissolution pore is denoted as φ 溶i , the contribution amount of the j-th type of cement is denoted as φ 胶j , and the contribution amount of the k-th type of microcrack is denoted as φ 缝k .
[0036] The total compaction and pore reduction amount φ 压 of the sample is calculated by using the formula .
[0037] The maximum paleo-tectonic stress corresponding to the sample is obtained through sample acoustic emission test and numerical simulation. In the sample, the medium sandstone samples with the burial depth in the range of 300 m, the sorting coefficient So in the range of 1.2-1.4, the cement content less than 5%, and distributed in different maximum paleo-tectonic stress regions are selected as selected samples, so as to minimize the influence of other factors on the compaction reduction of pore volume. The selected samples are sorted in the order of maximum paleo-tectonic stress from large to small, and the difference between the total compaction reduction of pore volume of the adjacent two selected samples is taken as the lateral compaction reduction of pore volume of the sample with larger maximum paleo-tectonic stress.
[0038] As shown in Figure 2 , the lateral compaction reduction of pore volume φ 侧压 and the maximum paleo-tectonic stress F are related as follows: φ 侧压 = 3.3952ln(F)-9.3104.
[0039] (2) Calculate the lateral compaction reduction of pore volume of each lateral extrusion in the multiple lateral extrusion process
[0040] There are four times of lateral extrusion in the diagenetic process of the research area. The maximum paleo-tectonic stresses corresponding to the four times of lateral extrusion are F1=35.2MPa, F2=59.9MPa, F3=74.8MPa, and F4=80.9MPa, respectively, which are obtained through sample acoustic emission test and numerical simulation.
[0041] The lateral compaction reduction of pore volume of each lateral extrusion is calculated by using the formula , wherein q is the number of lateral extrusion in the research area, F l is the paleo-tectonic stress of the lth lateral extrusion, F l-1 is the paleo-tectonic stress of the (l-1)th lateral extrusion, F is the maximum paleo-tectonic stress, and F0 is taken as 0MPa in calculation, F=F q ; φ 侧压 is the lateral compaction reduction of pore volume corresponding to the maximum paleo-tectonic stress, which is obtained according to the functional relationship between the lateral compaction reduction of pore volume and the maximum paleo-tectonic stress.
[0042] (3) Establish the relationship chart between the vertical compaction reduction of pore volume and the burial depth
[0043] The lateral compaction reduction of pore volume φ 侧压 of any sample is calculated by using the formula φ 侧压 = 3.3952ln(F)-9.3104, and the difference between the total compaction reduction of pore volume φ 压 and the lateral compaction reduction of pore volume φ 侧压 is obtained, so as to obtain the vertical compaction reduction of pore volume φ 垂压 of the sample.
[0044] Based on the comprehensive consideration of sorting coefficient, sediment grain size and other parameters, samples with cement content less than 5% were selected, and the relationship between the vertical compaction porosity reduction and burial depth under the constraint of different sediment parameters was established according to the vertical distribution characteristics of the vertical compaction porosity reduction of different samples, as shown in Figure 3 .
[0045] (4) Draw the porosity evolution curve of the clastic rock reservoir in the tectonic extrusion background
[0046] Through cast thin section analysis, in-situ major and trace element testing analysis, fluid inclusion analysis and U-Pb dating analysis, the formation time and sequence of authigenic minerals, dissolved pores and fractures in the study area were determined, and a diagenetic evolution sequence was established. The diagenetic evolution sequence of the study area is shown in Table 1, which is as follows: first stage of feldspar dissolution / authigenic albite, first stage of quartz cementation→first stage of calcite, dolomite and gypsum cementation, quartz dissolution→second stage of feldspar dissolution, authigenic quartz cementation→second stage of (iron-containing) calcite, dolomite and anhydrite cementation→late stage of a small amount of feldspar dissolution.
[0047] Using homogenization temperature analysis of fluid inclusions and U-Pb dating analysis, combined with burial history and thermal history analysis, the occurrence time of each diagenetic event was determined, and combined with the occurrence time of lateral compaction events, the diagenetic stage was determined, as shown in Table 1.
[0048] Using the projection of different diagenetic stage times on the burial history graph, the paleo-burial depth at the beginning and end of each diagenetic stage was obtained, as shown in Table 1.

[0051] Using cast thin section images and the functional relationship between present porosity and total face porosity The contribution of various chemical diagenetic events to reservoir porosity was quantitatively calculated, and the microcosmic features of the reservoir in each diagenetic stage were restored by inverse stripping method combined with the lateral compaction porosity reduction of each lateral extrusion in the diagenetic process and the relationship between vertical compaction porosity reduction and burial depth, and the face porosity and corresponding porosity of each diagenetic stage were obtained; according to the geological history time, the reservoir porosity evolution curve from original porosity to present porosity was drawn, and the clastic rock reservoir porosity evolution process graph in the tectonic extrusion background of the study area was obtained, as shown in Figure 4 .
