Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil exploration and development, and particularly relates to a delta-beach bar composite sand body prediction method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous deepening of global oil and gas exploration, deep-ultra deep oil and gas reservoirs have become the replacement field of energy exploration. Traditional exploration practice shows that the delta-beach bar composite sedimentary system often develops high-quality reservoirs due to its unique sedimentary configuration and physical property characteristics. In particular, the beach bar complex formed by wave modification exhibits significant advantages such as optimal pore structure and large reservoir space, and becomes an important target area for deep exploration breakthroughs.

[0003] Existing research shows that the formation of beach bar deposition is controlled by a multi-factor synergistic mechanism. The classic deposition model based on wave breaking driving dynamics has revealed the coupling control law of key parameters such as source supply strength, paleogeomorphology, and paleo-wind energy. However, in the deep-ultra deep exploration scenario, the geological constraint conditions present significant particularities: 1) The target layer of offshore is generally buried deeper than 5000 meters. Due to the limitation of seismic data quality, conventional seismic attributes and wave impedance inversion cannot effectively identify the spatial distribution characteristics of thin interbedded sand bodies; 2) The sparseness of drilling data in the exploration area leads to multiple solutions in sedimentary facies belt calibration, and a reliable sedimentary model cannot be established; 3) The quantitative response relationship between paleoenvironmental parameters (such as paleogeomorphology, paleo-provenance strength, and paleo-wave field) and reservoir development has not been established, and existing prediction methods mostly rely on single-factor analysis, which is insufficient in prediction accuracy.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the sand body migration path plane distribution map can highlight the direction of the paleo-provenance, and only when the provenance direction and the underwater low protrusion are matched, can the wave transformation be provided with a material basis.

[0082]

[0083] In the formula, h b is the paleo-water depth, d b is the distance from the source area, and t is the thickness of the sedimentary layer.Hb is the wave breaking depth; t is the thickness of beach bar deposit; and a is the geomorphic slope.

[0087] In one specific embodiment, the effective wavelength in deep water is obtained by the following formula:

[0088]

[0089] In the formula, g is the acceleration of gravity; and T is the wave period.

[0091] In one specific embodiment, the favorable development zone is determined by the following sub-steps:

[0092] The research area is divided into a windward area, a crosswind area and a leeward area according to the ancient wind direction, and is divided into a near-source area, a middle-source area and a far-source area according to the distance from the source area, and the near-source area and the windward area are selected as the favorable development zone of the delta-beach bar composite sand body.

[0093] The favorable development layer section is determined by the following sub-steps:

[0098] S5: Obtain the distribution characteristics of the delta-beach-bar composite sand body in the target work area based on the favorable development zones, favorable development intervals and favorable development target areas.

[0099] In a specific embodiment, taking a target work area as an example, the delta-beach-bar composite sand body prediction method of the present invention is used to predict the delta-beach-bar composite sand body, which specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0100] (1) Obtain geological background data of the target work area, including seismic data, well logging data, core data, and grain size analysis and other analytical data, and classify the delta and beach-bar sedimentary systems;

[0101] The characteristic sedimentary structures of the delta and beach bar in the target work area are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, from Figure 2 The delta developed in the target area is relatively close to the source area and has a coarse grain size. Lithologically, it consists of conglomerate, gravelly sandstone, coarse sandstone, and medium sandstone. Typical structural features include massive bedding, trough / wedge / tabular / high-angle cross-bedding, parallel bedding, and erosion-scour surfaces. The sandstones of braided river deltas are generally poorly sorted and rounded, with a high concentration of interstitial material. The grain size probability density cumulative plot of braided river delta rock samples shows a four-segment distribution, with a low slope for the jump component, also reflecting poor overall sorting. Physically, braided river delta sandstones are highly heterogeneous and have relatively poor porosity and permeability. Furthermore, their probability density distribution curves exhibit bimodal or multimodal characteristics, reflecting a high proportion of rolling and jump components. Well logging indicates that the GR curves of braided river deltas are generally toothed box-shaped.

[0102] Well logging reveals a continuous series of positive cycles superimposed on negative cycles. The lithologic composition of the beach-bar facies is primarily fine sandstone and siltstone. Sedimentary structure is characterized by massive bedding and wave-shaped / wavy / depression-shaped cross-bedding. Pore structure and interstitial material content indicate moderate sorting and rounding, clean pores, and low interstitial material content. Physical properties indicate high porosity and permeability overall. The cumulative probability density distribution curve of the beach-bar core shows a distinct two-stage pattern, reflecting a complex environment characterized by multiple hydrodynamic forces of varying energy. In lakes, this often reflects multiple fluid processes, including wave surge, backflow, and longshore currents. The probability density distribution curve exhibits a distinct single peak, with the primary jump component exceeding 90%, indicating a strong influence of wave remodeling. Well logging results also provide a good indicator of grain size variation. Based on logging characteristics, the GR of the beach-bar is primarily characterized by negative cycles, funnel-shaped, and finger-shaped formations.

[0103] Based on the lithofacies sequence of some cored wells and the logging facies of all target layers in the area, a total of 23 wave-breaking sandbars were identified on the wells. The results are shown in Table 1:

[0104]

[0105]

[0106] As can be seen from Table 1, the thickness of the drilled beach bar sand body t b The distribution range is 0.87~4.16m. The thickness of the beach bar sand body is corrected by decompaction using formula (1) to obtain the beach bar sediment thickness t. In this embodiment, the lithologic composition of the identified wave-breaking dam is all sandstone, and its original porosity is and compaction coefficient c are 50.92% and 0.0003382, respectively, and the thickness of the beach-bar deposits is between 1.43 and 6.85 m.

[0107] (2) Conduct source-sink system analysis, establish sediment transport pathways, and obtain a planar distribution map of sand body migration pathways;

[0108] First, based on the geological background of the target work area, relevant theories of sequence stratigraphy are selected to interpret the seismic horizons of the target work area. Specifically: based on the sequence stratigraphic division of the work area, seismic horizon interpretation is carried out to obtain the sequence stratigraphic framework of the target work area.

[0109] Secondly, based on the analysis of seismic profile characteristics, the source channel type is identified and the distribution characteristic map of the source channel system is obtained; specifically: by analyzing the stratigraphic interface morphology of multiple continuous sections in the tectonic transition zone, the source channel type is identified and the distribution characteristic map of the source channel system is obtained. Figure 3The shown material source channel type map. Through the fine seismic profile dissection, 8 under cutting valley channels are identified, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. Among them, the small under cutting valley system developed in the middle of the study area is mainly V-shaped, with a cutting valley width of 0.4-1 km, and a small development scale. The W-shaped under cutting valley system developed in the north of the slope belt is wider, with a width of 3-4 km, a larger development scale, and is also steeper.

[0110] Again, the heavy mineral assemblage of the target work area is classified and analyzed, and the heavy mineral assemblage plane classification characteristics are obtained; Specifically: Heavy minerals are affected by weathering and show different degrees of stability, which can be divided into stable heavy minerals and unstable heavy minerals. The farther away from the source area, the higher the content of stable heavy minerals in sediments, and the unstable heavy minerals gradually decrease. The ZTR index refers to the percentage of transparent mineral components such as tourmaline, zircon, and rutile in heavy minerals. The ZTR index increases with the distance from the parent rock area, and in the near-source area, the ZTR index often presents a relatively low value.

[0111] From the heavy mineral assemblage and ZTR index of the study area, it can be seen that there are three heavy mineral assemblages in the Wenchang Formation during deposition, corresponding to different sedimentary areas. Heavy mineral assemblage one, ZTR index (6.61-10.07), corresponding to the northern area of the target work area, with the north slope large under cutting valley source channel transporting sedimentation. Heavy mineral assemblage two, low ZTR index, corresponding to the southern uplift position of the target work area, transported by the southern fault channel source channel; Heavy mineral assemblage three, high ZTR index (11.6-25.6), corresponding to the central depression well area, transported by the central small under cutting valley source channel.

[0112] Then, combined with the basement Tg structure map, the source channel system analysis results and the heavy mineral plane assemblage characteristics, the path of sand body migration and transportation from the source area to the target area is established.

[0113] Finally, the catchment area, catchment elevation difference, and valley cross-sectional area are counted, and the paleo-source intensity factor is calculated to quantitatively judge the paleo-source intensity.

[0114] (3) Restore the paleogeomorphology of the target work area during the sedimentary period, and count the paleogeomorphology height of the underwater paleo-uplift and the distance from the source area;

[0115] Firstly, according to the seismic horizon interpretation result of the target work area, the stratum top and bottom time domain stratum interface of the target work area is obtained, and the reflection of the entire basin filling and patching is obtained, and time-depth conversion is carried out; according to the seismic horizon interpretation result, the target horizon Wen 6 top and bottom time domain seismic layer (T85 and T85-1) of the target work area is obtained, and the isochronal seismic interface selected in the overlying sedimentary stratum which can reflect the filling and patching characteristics of the target layer is taken as the marker layer interface, and the time domain is converted into depth domain through well-seismic combination time-depth relationship, so as to obtain the depth domain plane diagram of the top and bottom interface of the target layer.

[0116] Then, the target work area sedimentary period paleogeomorphology is recovered by using the impression method, and the paleogeomorphology map is obtained; the residual thickness of Wen 6 upper stratum depth domain is obtained by subtracting the depth domain marker layer interface from the depth domain target stratum bottom surface, and the paleogeomorphology is recovered. Figure 4 The target work area target stratum sedimentary period paleogeomorphology map is shown.

[0117] Finally, the paleogeomorphology height, geomorphology slope and distance from the source area of the underwater paleo-protrusion are counted.

[0118] (4) Recover the characteristics of the paleo-wind field in the sedimentary period, including the paleo-wind direction and the paleo-wind course;

[0119] The FMI imaging logging data of the cross-bedding of the drilled well are used to recover the paleo-current direction, so as to recover the paleo-wind direction; specifically: based on the FMI imaging logging data of the cross-bedding of the drilled well, the paleo-current direction is recovered, and the paleo-current direction can indicate the paleo-wind wave field direction in the sedimentary period. Cross-bedding usually shows a series of wave-like or linear structures intersecting the bedding plane, which reflects the change of the water flow direction in the sedimentary process. It is generally believed that in the sedimentary period, the cross-bedding of sandstone is inclined to the same paleo-current direction, so the inclination of the cross-bedding of sandstone can be used to recover the transport direction of the source. The cross-bedding and mudstone bedding inclination data are extracted from the corrected, filtered and enhanced imaging logging data, and the mudstone bedding is used to correct the inclination of the cross-bedding of sandstone to restore the original sedimentary inclination, and finally a rose diagram is drawn, so that the paleo-current direction can be determined. As shown in Figure 5 In the drilled well data, the drilling of HZ25-7-2 encountered the Wen Chang formation sedimentary microfacies of braided river delta, and the drilling of HZ25-4-1 encountered the Wen Chang formation sedimentary microfacies of island-beach complex. Among them, the paleo-current direction recovered by the imaging logging in HZ25-7-2 well is single NE direction, and NE may represent the direction of the original source advance. By comparison, the paleo-current direction of HZ25-4-1 well is NE and NW, and as mentioned before, NE is the transport direction of the original source, and NW reflects the paleo-wind direction at that time.

[0120] At the same time, through literature research, the influence of the collision process between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate on the direction of the East Asian summer monsoon is proposed. The summer monsoon in the Pearl River Estuary area during the Upper Oligocene (49-43 Ma) was mainly southeast, and was affected by the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The influence range of the East Asian monsoon gradually expanded northward after 41 Ma. The wind force during the Lower Oligocene (43-38 Ma) was stronger, which further verified that the paleowind direction in the B block during the Lower Oligocene was mainly northwest.

[0121] On the basis of the determination of the southeast paleowind direction, the paleowind course F is restored. The radial lines are drawn to the paleoshoreline (shoreline) within ±45° at an interval of 6° against the paleowind direction. The projection of the radial lines on the paleowind direction is drawn, and finally the average value of the projections is obtained by statistics. The paleowind course of the B block is about 11 km, as shown in Table 1 and Figure 6 .

[0122] (5) Restoring the characteristics of the paleowave field during the deposition period, including the paleowater depth and the paleowave height;

[0123] In this embodiment, the paleowater depth is obtained by calculation according to formula (4)-(5), and the paleowave height is obtained by calculation according to formula (6)-(8). The results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 7 , Figure 8 .

[0124] (6) According to the paleowind direction and the distance between the paleohigh and the source area, the favorable development zone of the delta-beach bar complex is determined;

[0125] It is determined that the paleowind direction during the deposition period of the Wenchang Formation in the target work area is mainly southeast. Therefore, the northwest region is divided into a windward area, the southwest region is a side wind area, and the southeast region is a leeward area. The distance between the paleohigh and the source area Ds is measured, which is divided into near source <20 km, medium source 20 km

[0126] (7) According to the paleowind course and the paleogeomorphological height, the favorable development layer section of the delta-beach bar complex is determined;

[0127] By measuring the palaeo-wind course of each area, the section with the developed palaeo-wind course F>8km is selected as the potential delta-beach bar composite sediment development section. By measuring the palaeo-landform height H of each area, the underwater palaeo-convexity with H>0, -10<H<0, and the depression with H<-10 are obtained. By restoring the palaeo-landform, the palaeo-landform height of each area is quantitatively judged, and the section with the developed underwater low convexity (-10<H<0) is the potential delta-beach bar composite sediment development section. By comprehensively analyzing the palaeo-wind course and the palaeo-landform related parameters, the Wuliu section with the developed underwater low convexity (H=-8) and large wind course (F=11km) is selected as the dominant sediment section of the delta-beach bar composite sand body.

[0128] (8) According to the palaeo-water depth and the palaeo-wave height, the target area with the developed delta-beach bar composite is determined;

[0129] According to the restored palaeo-water depth, the water depth zone is divided, and the deep lake zone with hw>10m and the shallow lake zone with hw<10m are obtained. According to the restored palaeo-wave height, the hydrodynamic zone is divided, and the deep lake zone with Hb<1m, the rising wave zone with 1m<Hb<2m, the broken wave zone with 2<Hb<3, and the broken wave zone with 3<Hb<4 are obtained. The shallow lake zone (water depth <10m) and the broken wave zone (wave height >3m) are selected as the favorable target area of the delta-beach bar composite sand body. By comprehensively analyzing the palaeo-water depth and the palaeo-wave height, the two steps of the shallow lake zone and the broken wave zone are selected as the favorable target area of the delta-beach bar composite sand body.

[0130] (9) The distribution characteristics of the target delta-beach bar composite in the target work area are obtained.

[0131] Based on the "six palaeo-three steps" common constraints of steps (6)-(8), the strong material source, the windward area, the large wind course, the low convexity, the shallow lake zone and the broken wave zone are selected as the favorable constraints for the development of the delta-beach bar composite, and the results are shown in Figure 9 .
