Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure belongs to the field of oil reservoir development technology, and in particular relates to a method, system, equipment and medium for classifying porous reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] Oil and gas reservoirs, generally speaking, exhibit significant differences in porosity and permeability due to sedimentary, differential diagenetic, and tectonic processes, resulting in strong heterogeneity and a diverse range of reservoir rock types. Therefore, given this heterogeneity, it is necessary to classify reservoirs into several relatively homogeneous categories to improve geological understanding and support efficient oil and gas reservoir development. Domestic and international research can be broadly summarized into the following classification approaches: rock structure classification, porosity classification, physical property classification, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) response classification, and conventional logging response classification. However, in this field, the academic community has not yet developed a method for classifying specific oil and gas reservoirs by dividing their pore storage space at different scales and characterizing their microscopic heterogeneity. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new method, system, device, and medium for classifying porous reservoirs to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
