Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for predicting the effective reservoir distribution in tight sandstone according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to predicting the effective reservoir distribution of tight sandstone gas reservoirs in barrier coasts. The method can be executed by a device for predicting the effective reservoir distribution in tight sandstone, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0031] S110. Restore the ancient landforms of the target work area and determine the distribution area of ​​sand bodies in the target work area based on the elevation information of the ancient landforms.

[0032] The target work area is the barrier coast tight sandstone gas reservoir area where effective reservoir distribution is to be carried out. The sand bodies in the target work area are thick and discontinuous. However, these sand bodies have been washed by ocean waves, have high quartz content, strong resistance to compaction, and good reservoir properties. Moreover, they are adjacent to source rocks and can form high-abundance gas reservoirs.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the paleomorphology of the target work area can be restored using the stratigraphic leveling method, or a three-dimensional geological model of the target work area can be constructed using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to invert the paleomorphology of the target work area and restore it. Then, based on the elevation information of the paleomorphology of the target work area, areas with a higher probability of sand body distribution can be identified as sand body distribution areas within the target work area.

[0034] Optionally, determining the sand body distribution area within the target work area based on the elevation information of the ancient landform includes: dividing the ancient landform into a plateau area, a slope area, and a depression area based on the elevation information of the ancient landform; and using the slope area in the ancient landform as the sand body distribution area within the target work area.

[0035] In paleolandforms, plateau regions refer to areas with relatively high elevations and relatively flat or gently undulating terrain. Slope regions refer to areas in paleolandforms where elevations gradually transition from high to low, typically located between plateau and depression regions. Depression regions are the lowest-lying and relatively low-lying areas in paleolandforms.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, after restoring the paleomorphology of the target work area, the paleomorphology can be first divided into plateau areas, slope areas, and depression areas based on its elevation information. Then, according to the principles of sedimentology and paleomorphology, it can be determined that slope areas, due to the terrain's slope and the transport effect of water flow, often become the main sites for sand body deposition and distribution. Therefore, the slope areas in the paleomorphology can be used as the sand body distribution areas within the target work area. Specifically, a paleomorphological map of the target work area can be drawn, and the slope areas within it can be delineated as the sand body distribution areas. For example, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a sand body distribution area is shown, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the slope areas in the paleogeographic map are identified as the main sand body distribution areas.

[0037] S120. Determine the main distribution area corresponding to each lithofacies type in the sand body distribution area, and based on the gas test results of the drilled wells in the sand body distribution area, determine the favorable lithofacies distribution area from the main distribution area corresponding to all lithofacies types.

[0038] Among them, lithofacies type refers to the classification of sedimentary facies based on the characteristics of sediments such as lithology, grain size, sedimentary structure and color. Lithofacies is the main component of sedimentary facies and reflects the environment and conditions when sediments were formed.

[0039] Among them, the gas test results refer to a series of detailed data and information about underground oil, gas and water layers obtained through the gas test process. The gas test is a process that uses a set of specialized equipment and methods to directly test the downhole oil, gas and water layers and obtain relevant data on the production capacity, pressure, temperature and physical properties of oil, gas and water samples.

[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, the main distribution areas corresponding to each lithofacies type in the sand body distribution area can be determined first. Then, based on the gas testing results of the drilled wells in the sand body distribution area, favorable lithofacies distribution areas can be determined from the main distribution areas corresponding to all lithofacies types. Specifically, after determining the main distribution areas corresponding to each lithofacies type, the drilled wells in each main distribution area can be determined based on the location of the drilled wells in the sand body distribution area. Then, based on the gas testing results of the drilled wells in the sand body distribution area, the gas testing results of the drilled wells in each main distribution area can be determined. Finally, based on the gas testing results of the drilled wells in each main distribution area, favorable lithofacies distribution areas can be determined from the main distribution areas corresponding to all lithofacies types. By determining the main distribution areas corresponding to each lithofacies type in the sand body distribution area and determining the favorable lithofacies distribution areas in the main distribution areas based on the gas testing results of the drilled wells, the range of effective reservoir distribution prediction can be further narrowed. At the same time, with the gas testing results of the drilled wells as data support, the results obtained are more scientific and accurate.

[0041] S130. Predict the distribution of sand bodies around the drilled wells in the area with favorable lithofacies distribution, determine the prediction results of the sand body distribution, and determine the effective reservoir distribution area in the target work area based on the prediction results of the sand body distribution.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, sand body distribution can be predicted around drilled wells in areas with favorable lithofacies distribution, obtaining the size of the sand bodies around the drilled wells, and using this size as the predicted sand body distribution result. Then, based on the predicted sand body distribution result, the effective reservoir distribution area within the target work area is determined. Specifically, the target sand body distribution area can be determined based on the location of the drilled wells and the size of the sand bodies around them, and this target sand body distribution area is used as the effective reservoir distribution area. This completes the prediction of the effective reservoir distribution within the target work area, providing a basis and guidance for improving the development level and well location deployment of tight sandstone gas reservoirs in barrier coasts.

[0043] Optionally, sand body distribution prediction is performed around the drilled wells in the favorable lithofacies distribution area to determine the sand body distribution prediction results, including: performing well pattern analysis in the favorable lithofacies distribution area to determine the correlation between sand body size and sand body thickness; and determining the sand body size around the drilled wells in the favorable lithofacies distribution area based on the sand body thickness in the drilled wells in the favorable lithofacies distribution area and the correlation, as the sand body distribution prediction result.

[0044] Well network analysis refers to the process of finely characterizing and modeling reservoirs in the later stages of oil and gas field development through dense well network layout and detailed geological and logging data analysis. The aim is to improve the accuracy of reservoir description, optimize well network layout, and thus improve oil and gas recovery rate.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, after determining the favorable lithofacies distribution area in the main distribution area, well pattern analysis can be performed in the favorable lithofacies distribution area to determine the correlation between sand body size and sand body thickness in the favorable lithofacies distribution area. Based on the sand body thickness in the drilled wells in the favorable lithofacies distribution area and the correlation between sand body size and sand body thickness, the sand body size around the drilled wells in the favorable lithofacies distribution area is determined as the sand body distribution prediction result.

[0046] Optionally, well pattern analysis is performed in the favorable lithofacies distribution area to determine the correlation between sand body size and sand body thickness, including: determining the length, width, and distribution characteristics of sand bodies in the favorable lithofacies distribution area based on seismic data of the target work area and well logging curves of drilled wells in the favorable lithofacies distribution area; and determining the correlation between sand body size and sand body thickness based on the length, width, and distribution characteristics of the sand bodies.

[0047] Among them, the distribution characteristics of sand bodies refer to the characteristics of sand bodies in underground space, such as distribution, morphology, scale, continuity, distribution direction and thickness variation. By analyzing the distribution characteristics of sand bodies in detail, we can gain a deeper understanding of the sedimentary process and sedimentary environment, and provide important basis for oil and gas exploration and development.

[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, the length, width and distribution characteristics of sand bodies in the favorable lithofacies distribution area can be described in detail based on the seismic data of the target work area and the logging curves of the drilled wells in the favorable lithofacies distribution area. The correlation between the length and width of the sand body and the thickness of the sand body can be determined, that is, the correlation between the scale of the sand body and the thickness of the sand body, so as to provide a basis for the scale of the sand body around the drilled wells in the subsequent favorable lithofacies distribution area.

[0049] The technical solution of this invention involves restoring the paleomorphology of the target work area, determining the sand body distribution area within the target work area based on the elevation information of the paleomorphology, determining the main distribution area corresponding to each lithofacies type within the sand body distribution area, and determining favorable lithofacies distribution areas from the main distribution areas corresponding to all lithofacies types based on the gas testing results of drilled wells within the sand body distribution area; predicting the sand body distribution around the drilled wells in the favorable lithofacies distribution areas, determining the sand body distribution prediction results, and determining the effective reservoir distribution area within the target work area based on the sand body distribution prediction results. This technical solution of the present invention determines the sand body distribution area within the target work area by restoring the paleomorphology of the target work area, determines the favorable lithofacies distribution areas within the sand body distribution area through lithofacies zoning and gas testing results, and predicts the effective reservoir distribution within the favorable lithofacies distribution areas. Using the gas testing results of drilled wells as data support, the obtained effective reservoir distribution prediction results are more scientific and accurate.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a method for predicting the distribution of effective tight sandstone reservoirs according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiments; schemes not described in detail in this embodiment are described in the above embodiments. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0052] S210. Restore the ancient landforms of the target work area and determine the distribution area of ​​sand bodies in the target work area based on the elevation information of the ancient landforms.

[0053] S220. Determine the various lithofacies types involved in the target work area, and determine the logging curve identification template corresponding to each lithofacies type based on the logging data of the drilled wells in the target work area.

[0054] In this process, identifying the various lithofacies types involved in the target work area involves taking a sufficient number of random samples of rocks within the target work area, conducting core observation and thin section identification on the randomly sampled rock samples, determining the rock types developed in the target work area based on the results of core observation and thin section identification, and then analyzing the pore structure and physical properties of rocks of different rock types, including pore type, pore throat characteristics, porosity and permeability, to further subdivide the rock types and obtain different lithofacies types.

[0055] In this embodiment of the invention, the various lithofacies types involved in the target work area can be determined first, and then the logging curve identification templates corresponding to each lithofacies type can be determined based on the logging data of the drilled wells in the target work area. Specifically, logging data can be used to perform logging identification on different lithofacies types to determine logging curve identification templates for different lithofacies. Among them, the logging curves mainly use acoustic transit time (AC), natural gamma ray (GR), density (DEN), and resistivity (RT) logging curves.

[0056] S230. Identify the lithofacies of drilled wells within the sand body distribution area based on the well logging curve identification template, and determine the main distribution area corresponding to each lithofacies type within the sand body distribution area.

[0057] In this embodiment of the invention, after determining the logging curve identification templates corresponding to each lithofacies type, the lithofacies of drilled wells within the sand body distribution area can be identified based on the logging curve identification templates to determine the main distribution area corresponding to each lithofacies type within the sand body distribution area. Specifically, the lithofacies type corresponding to the drilled wells within the sand body distribution area can be determined based on the logging curve identification templates and the logging curves of drilled wells within the sand body distribution area. Then, based on the location of the drilled wells of each lithofacies type within the sand body distribution area, the main distribution area corresponding to each lithofacies type within the sand body distribution area can be determined. For example, Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the main distribution areas corresponding to various lithofacies types, such as... Figure 4As shown in the figure, there are two main lithofacies types, corresponding to Type I and Type II areas respectively. Type I areas mainly develop grayish-white quartz sandstone, which has high structural maturity and compositional maturity, high porosity, and is easy to form favorable tight gas reservoirs. Type II areas mainly develop gray quartz clastic sandstone, which has medium structural maturity and compositional maturity, low porosity, and is not easy to form favorable tight gas reservoirs.

[0058] S240. Obtain the gas test results of drilled wells in the sand body distribution area, and determine the average daily gas production value corresponding to each lithofacies type based on the gas test results.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, gas testing results from drilled wells in the sand body distribution area can be obtained to conduct daily gas production analysis for each lithofacies type. Specifically, the average daily gas production for each lithofacies type can be determined based on the gas testing results. It should be noted that the analysis indicators can be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment of the invention does not limit this. Here, the average daily gas production is used as the analysis indicator to explain the scheme.

[0060] S250. Based on the average daily gas production, determine the favorable lithofacies type from each lithofacies type, and take the main distribution area corresponding to the favorable lithofacies type as the favorable lithofacies distribution area.

[0061] In this embodiment of the invention, favorable lithofacies types can be determined from each lithofacies type based on the average daily gas production value corresponding to each lithofacies type. For example, the lithofacies type with the highest average daily gas production value can be identified as the favorable lithofacies type. Then, the main distribution area corresponding to the favorable lithofacies type is determined as the favorable lithofacies distribution area.

[0062] S260. Predict the distribution of sand bodies around the drilled wells in the area with favorable lithofacies distribution, determine the prediction results of the sand body distribution, and determine the effective reservoir distribution area in the target work area based on the prediction results of the sand body distribution.

[0063] Optionally, after determining the effective reservoir distribution area within the target work area based on the sand body distribution prediction results, the method further includes: determining the drilling location of the well to be drilled based on the effective reservoir distribution area, and performing drilling operations on the well to be drilled based on the drilling location; and verifying the effective reservoir distribution area based on the drilling results of the well to be drilled.

[0064] In this embodiment of the invention, after determining the effective reservoir distribution area within the target work area, the drilling location of the well to be drilled can be determined based on the predicted effective reservoir distribution area, and drilling operations can be performed at this location to improve the drilling success rate. After completing the drilling operation of the well to be drilled, the effective reservoir distribution area can also be verified based on the drilling results. For example, Figure 5A schematic diagram of an effective reservoir distribution area and well distribution is shown, as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the skeleton wells are the drilled wells, and the test wells are the wells to be drilled. The dark areas represent the effective reservoir distribution areas. There are a total of 30 test wells in the figure, including 19 located in the slope area, 6 in the platform area, and 5 in the depression area. The drilling results of the test wells in the figure are shown in Table 1 below.

[0065] Table 1. Statistics of drilling results in the test wells

[0066]

[0067]

[0068] The statistical results in the table above show that the drilling encounter rate of the test wells reached 70%, indicating that the technical solution of the present invention can accurately predict the effective reservoir distribution area, improve the gas layer drilling encounter rate, and guide the relevant gas fields to achieve overall efficient development.

[0069] Optionally, after completing the drilling operation of the well to be drilled, the well to be drilled can be treated as a drilled well, the data of the well to be drilled can be incorporated into the data of the drilled well, and the effective reservoir distribution area can be adjusted according to the newly added data to gradually improve the accuracy of the prediction of the effective reservoir distribution.

[0070] The technical solution of this invention involves: restoring the paleomorphology of the target work area; determining the sand body distribution area within the target work area based on the elevation information of the paleomorphology; identifying each lithofacies type involved in the target work area and determining the logging curve identification template corresponding to each lithofacies type based on the logging data of the drilled wells in the target work area; identifying the lithofacies of the drilled wells within the sand body distribution area based on the logging curve identification template, and determining the main distribution area corresponding to each lithofacies type within the sand body distribution area; obtaining the gas testing results of the drilled wells within the sand body distribution area, and determining the average daily gas production corresponding to each lithofacies type based on the gas testing results; determining the favorable lithofacies type from each lithofacies type based on the average daily gas production, and taking the main distribution area corresponding to the favorable lithofacies type as the favorable lithofacies distribution area; predicting the sand body distribution around the drilled wells in the favorable lithofacies distribution area, determining the sand body distribution prediction results, and determining the effective reservoir distribution area within the target work area based on the sand body distribution prediction results. The technical solution of this invention restores the paleogeography of the target work area to determine the distribution area of ​​sand bodies within the target work area, and determines the favorable facies distribution area within the sand body distribution area through lithofacies zoning and gas testing results. Effective reservoir distribution is predicted in the favorable facies distribution area, and the gas testing results of drilled wells are used as data support, resulting in more scientific and accurate prediction results of effective reservoir distribution.
