Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to reservoir development technology, and more particularly to a quantitative evaluation method for reservoir heterogeneity that combines macro- and micro-level analysis. Background Technology

[0002] Oil reservoir heterogeneity is closely related to the flow, distribution, accumulation, and exploitation of oil and gas. Due to the influence of sedimentation, tectonic activity, and changes in diagenetic environment, the internal structure and porosity-permeability of oil reservoirs will change to varying degrees during their formation, making oil reservoir development and exploitation more difficult. Therefore, oil reservoir heterogeneity is a key factor restricting oil reservoir development and affecting recovery rate. The study and evaluation of oil reservoir heterogeneity is an extremely necessary part of the oil reservoir geological development research process.

[0003] In general, the quantitative characterization of macroscopic heterogeneity refers to the fact that when evaluating the overall reservoir of a study area, many factors generally influence reservoir heterogeneity. Therefore, to determine whether a reservoir is conducive to oil and gas accumulation, the overall evaluation typically integrates various factors affecting its degree. This allows for a fair and accurate assessment of the heterogeneity of the studied reservoir. The quantitative characterization method involves selecting parameters that can represent the degree of heterogeneity of all oil-bearing formations in the study area, including the permeability variation coefficient, gradient, surge coefficient, sandstone density, and the permeability of all wells in the study area. Then, the proportion of these parameters in each sub-layer is obtained. A comprehensive heterogeneity coefficient is introduced using cluster analysis, thus providing an accurate and intuitive description of heterogeneity.

[0004] Microscopic heterogeneity has been extensively studied by scholars. Reservoir microscopic heterogeneity generally refers to geological factors affecting the continuous flow of fluids within micropores or throats. This is not only due to the relatively uneven distribution of pores generated during sedimentation or diagenesis, but may also be related to the uneven distribution of authigenic minerals produced during these processes. Generally, microscopic heterogeneity mainly includes the size, distribution pattern, and internal structural characteristics of pores or throats. The determining factors of microscopic heterogeneity include pore type and pore-throat structure characteristics, with pore type playing a decisive role in determining reservoir properties. Generally, the basic pore types present in sandstone are intergranular pores and dissolution pores. Reservoir pore structure refers to the geometry, size, distribution, and interconnection of pores and throats in the rock. It is an important indicator for reservoir evaluation, a crucial factor influencing reservoir space, and can reveal the reservoir surface of reservoir rocks relatively accurately. Currently, there is very little research combining macroscopic heterogeneity with microscopic heterogeneity, but combining the two has a significant effect on improving oilfield recovery.
