These are logging parameters characterizing the sand body structure.

[0029] S5. The heterogeneity of the internal structure of tight sandstone reservoirs is comprehensively evaluated based on the internal contact relationship and quantitative evaluation parameters of the sand body structure.

[0030] Example 2: See Figure 1 This embodiment discloses a method for quantitative evaluation of sand body structure in tight sandstone reservoirs, including the following steps: Step 1: Based on field outcrops, core samples, and well logging data, sand body well logging response characteristics analysis is used to obtain combined well logging curves, sedimentary characteristics, and sand body size. Based on the well logging curves, sedimentary characteristics, and sand body size, the sand body structure type is identified and classified. The characteristics of different sand body structure types are analyzed. The sand body structure type characteristics include: superimposed box type, toothed bell type, isolated box type, and isolated finger type. Step 2: Using sand body structure characteristic analysis, combined with the characteristics of sand body structure type, the vertical stacking and lateral contact relationship of multi-stage channel sedimentary sand bodies are finely characterized to clarify the spatial distribution of tight sandstone reservoir sand bodies; Step 3: Calculate the logging curve fluctuation coefficient using the sensitivity logging curves of the sand body structure.

By combining the internal contact relationships of the sand body, the heterogeneity of the internal structure of the tight sandstone reservoir is comprehensively evaluated, thereby obtaining high-quality sand bodies.

[0031] The logging curves in step 1 include: natural gamma curve, clay content curve, sonic transit time curve, density curve, and resistivity curve; The sand body scale includes: stratification coefficient, sand body thickness, and maximum single sand body thickness; Sand body structure types are classified as: superimposed box type, toothed bell type, isolated box type and isolated finger type, and the logging curve morphology shows box type, micro-toothed box type, bell type and funnel type characteristics; The sand body structure feature analysis in step 2 includes: using core analysis, well logging and other data, adopting single-well comprehensive columnar section and sand body structure well-connected profile, studying the vertical stacking and lateral contact relationship of sand bodies, and clarifying the spatial distribution of sand bodies in tight sandstone reservoirs; The sensitivity logging curves for sand body structure in step 3 include: natural gamma curve, density curve, and clay content curve; logging curve smoothing function. This reflects the duration of the hydrodynamic environment's modification of sediments; In step 3, a smoothing function for the logging curve is constructed. First, a difference sequence a2-a1, a3-a2, ..., an-an-1 must be constructed. The difference sequence refers to the fluctuation positions of the high and low points of the logging curve. The number of difference sequences... It can reflect the number of serrations, while variance It can reflect the magnitude of the overall data volatility, and the calculation formula is:

[0032]

[0033]

[0034] in, and All figures represent the number of sawtooth patterns in the logging curve per unit thickness. The number of difference sequences. The separation distance between the two sample spaces. This refers to the variance, specifically the fluctuation coefficient of the well logging curve. The number of difference sequences. For each difference sequence, the corresponding well logging curve parameter values ​​are... This is the average value of the logging curve parameter values ​​corresponding to all difference sequences; To reflect the size and number of serrations using a single parameter, a variogram from geostatistics is introduced. It reflects the degree of variation of a regionalized variable within a certain distance in a certain direction, and can reflect the randomness and structure of the regionalized variable. Its calculation formula is as follows:

[0035] in, It is a variation function. It is the separation distance between the two sample spaces. The interval is Data pairs ( , The number of ) It is a regional variable In spatial location The measured value at that location It is a regional variable In spatial location The measured value at that location =1, 2, ..., The variogram reflects the magnitude of local fluctuations in the data; Because the variogram reflects the magnitude of local fluctuations in the data, and This reflects the magnitude of the overall data volatility; therefore, combining the two constitutes the root variance of the variation, i.e., the smoothing function of the logging curve. The solution can comprehensively reflect the overall fluctuation magnitude and the number and size of sawtooth patterns in the curve segment, thus using this function to characterize the smoothness of the curve data. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0036] in, The solution to the smoothing function of the well logging curve. Let be the variation function of the logging curve parameters corresponding to the first difference sequence. The variation function of the logging curve parameters corresponding to the second difference sequence. It is a variation function. For variance, Spatial sample separation distance; Regarding spatial sample separation distance For well logging curves, since the sampling interval is equal, generally one value is measured every 0.125 meters. Since the goal is to reflect the magnitude of local fluctuations, then... The smaller the better, to ensure accuracy. If = 1, 2, then the above formula simplifies to:

[0037] in The smaller the value, the smoother the curve, the less undulation the curve, and the closer the sand body is to a massive shape; conversely... The larger the value, the less smooth the curve, the greater the variability of the curve, and the closer the sand body morphology is to sand-mud interbedded layers; therefore, the logging curve smoothing function can be used. Well logging characterization parameters for constructing sand body structure The calculation formula is as follows:

[0038] in, These are logging parameters characterizing the sand body structure. These are natural gamma logging parameter values. For well logging curve smoothing function, The content of clay; Sand body structure logging characterization parameters This reflects the heterogeneity of the sand body structure. The higher the value, the stronger the degree of heterogeneity within the sand body. The smaller the value, the weaker the non-uniformity inside the sand body, and the more homogeneous the sand body; In step 4, principal component analysis is used to optimize the main controlling factors of sand body structure, including: sand-to-land ratio. Total thickness of sand body Maximum single sand body thickness Stratification coefficient and sand body structural parameters Then, hierarchical cluster analysis is used to calculate the weight coefficients of each controlling factor, and combined with linear regression, quantitative evaluation parameters for sand body structure are established. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0039] in, Parameters for quantitative evaluation of sand body structure. Sandy soil ratio The weighting coefficients, For sandy soil ratio, Total thickness of the sand body The weighting coefficients, The total thickness of the sand body. Maximum single sand body thickness The weighting coefficients, For the maximum thickness of a single sand body, Stratification coefficient The weighting coefficients, For stratification coefficients, Well logging characterization parameters for sand body structure The weighting coefficients, These are logging parameters characterizing the sand body structure.

[0040] Quantitative evaluation parameters of sand body structure It reflects the degree of homogeneity within the sand body. The higher the value, the more homogeneous the sand body, indicating thick-layered massive sandstone with good structural quality; conversely, a lower value indicates a less homogeneous sandstone body. The smaller the value, the stronger the heterogeneity inside the sand body, the more developed the muddy interlayers and physical property interlayers, the more the sand body is a thin interlayer of sand and mud, and the poorer the quality of the sand body structure. This invention establishes a sand body structure identification and classification system based on core analysis and well logging data, enabling a detailed characterization of the spatial combination and distribution of sand bodies. By utilizing the well logging curve fluctuation coefficient, well logging characterization parameters for sand body structure are established. Simultaneously, hierarchical clustering and multiple linear regression methods are combined to construct a comprehensive evaluation coefficient for sand body structure, quantitatively evaluating the heterogeneity of the sand body structure. This avoids the problem of overly idealistic sand body structure identification using conventional well logging analysis methods in existing technologies, and also overcomes the shortcomings of poor applicability and low accuracy of quantitative sand body structure models established using statistical methods in existing technologies.

[0041] This method is applicable to reservoir evaluation, oil reservoir evaluation, and selection of favorable blocks during the exploration, evaluation, and development stages of tight sandstone reservoirs in continental basins. Based on this method, the sand body structure can be accurately identified and classified using conventional logging parameters, solving the problem of quantitative evaluation of sand body structure and effectively guiding the detailed exploration and development of tight sandstone reservoirs.

[0042] Example 3: See Figure 10 This embodiment discloses a method for quantitative evaluation of sand body structure in tight sandstone reservoirs, as detailed below: The Chang 8 reservoir in a certain oilfield is a typical tight sandstone reservoir. The study area is controlled by two major source sources in the northwest and southwest, exhibiting a delta front subfacies. Channel sandbars and subaqueous distributary channel sand bodies are the main reservoir bodies, widely distributed with a thickness of 10–40 m, and featuring multiple superimposed channel sand bodies in the central region. Exploration and development data indicate that the Chang 8 reservoir has proven geological reserves of 470 million tons, representing significant exploration and development potential. However, due to the reservoir sand body structure and heterogeneity, exploration and development in the entire area are challenging, with numerous uncertainties in new well deployment and development adjustments. The method of this invention can quickly and accurately evaluate the sand body structure and reservoir heterogeneity of the Chang 8 oil formation in this study area, providing a scientific basis for exploration deployment and development adjustments. The Chang 8 reservoir in this oilfield is used as a specific implementation example of this invention, and the implementation steps of the technical solution are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0043] Step S101: Based on field outcrops, core samples, and well logging data, sand body well logging response characteristics analysis is used. Combined with curve morphology, sedimentary characteristics, and sand body scale, sand body structure types are identified and classified, and the characteristics of different sand body structure types are analyzed.

[0044] The sand body structure types in the study area are classified as: superimposed box type, toothed bell type, isolated box type, and isolated finger type; The logging curves exhibit box-shaped, micro-toothed box-shaped, bell-shaped, and funnel-shaped characteristics. The specific analysis results are shown in Table 1.

[0045] Table 1. Sand body structure types and characteristics of the Chang 8 reservoir in the study area:

[0046] Step S102: Using sand body structural feature analysis, the vertical stacking and lateral contact relationship of multi-stage channel sedimentary sand bodies are finely characterized to clarify the spatial distribution of tight sandstone reservoir sand bodies.

[0047] The analysis of sand body structure characteristics includes: using core analysis, well logging, and other data, employing single-well composite columnar sections and well-connected profiles of sand body structure, studying the vertical stacking and lateral contact relationships of sand bodies, and clarifying the spatial distribution of sand bodies in tight sandstone reservoirs; the vertical stacking relationships of sand bodies in the study area are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the lateral contact relationship of the sand body is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0048] Step S103: Using the sensitivity logging curves of sand body structure, calculate the logging curve fluctuation coefficient and construct the logging curve smoothing function. Logging characterization parameters of sand body structure ; Sensitivity logging curves for sand body structure include: natural gamma curve, density curve, and clay content; logging curve smoothing function. This reflects the duration of the hydrodynamic environment's modification of sediments; Constructing a smoothing function for well logging curves First, difference sequences a2-a1, a3-a2, ..., an-an-1 must be constructed, and the number of difference sequences is... It can reflect the number of serrations, while variance It can reflect the magnitude of the overall data fluctuation. A schematic diagram of the overall fluctuation of well logging curve data is shown below. Figure 4 As shown in b, the calculation formula is:

[0049]

[0050]

[0051] To reflect the size and number of serrations using a single parameter, a variogram from geostatistics is introduced. It reflects the degree of variation of a regionalized variable within a certain distance in a certain direction, and can reflect the randomness and structure of the regionalized variable. Its calculation formula is as follows:

[0052] It is the separation distance between the two sample spaces. The interval is Data pairs ( , The number of ) It is a regional variable In spatial location The measured value at that location It is a regional variable In spatial location The measured value at that location =1, 2, ..., The variability function reflects the magnitude of local fluctuations in the data. A schematic diagram of local fluctuations in well logging data is shown below. Figure 4 As shown in a.

[0053] Because the variogram reflects the magnitude of local fluctuations in the data, and This reflects the magnitude of the overall data volatility; therefore, combining the two constitutes the root variance of the variation, i.e., the smoothing function of the logging curve. The solution can comprehensively reflect the overall fluctuation magnitude and the number and size of sawtooth patterns in the curve segment, thus using this function to characterize the smoothness of the curve data. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0054] in, The solution to the smoothing function of the well logging curve. Let be the variation function of the logging curve parameters corresponding to the first difference sequence. The variation function of the logging curve parameters corresponding to the second difference sequence. It is a variation function. For variance, Spatial sample separation distance; So how do we select the spatial sample separation distance? How much should be taken? For well logging curves, since their intervals are equal, a value is generally measured every 0.125 meters. Since the goal is to reflect the magnitude of local fluctuations, then... The smaller the better, to ensure accuracy. If = 1, 2, then the above formula simplifies to:

[0055] in The smaller the value, the smoother the curve, the less undulation the curve, and the closer the sand body is to a massive shape; conversely... The larger the value, the less smooth the curve, the greater the variability of the curve, and the closer the sand body morphology is to sand-mud interbedded layers; therefore, the logging curve smoothing function can be used. Well logging characterization parameters for constructing sand body structure The calculation formula is as follows:

[0056] in, These are logging parameters characterizing the sand body structure. These are natural gamma logging parameter values. For well logging curve smoothing function, The content of clay; Sand body structure logging characterization parameters This reflects the heterogeneity of the sand body structure. The higher the value, the stronger the degree of heterogeneity within the sand body. The smaller the value, the weaker the heterogeneity within the sand body, and the more homogeneous the sand body. The logging characterization parameters for different sand body structures in the Chang 8 reservoir of the study area were calculated using the above method. The corresponding well logging results are shown in the figure below. Figures 5-7 As shown.

[0057] Step S104: Using hierarchical cluster analysis, the main controlling factors of sand body structure are selected, the weight coefficient of each main controlling factor is calculated, and combined with linear regression, quantitative evaluation parameters of sand body structure are established. ; Principal component analysis was used to optimize the main controlling factors of sand body structure, including: sand-to-land ratio. Total thickness of sand body Maximum single sand body thickness Stratification coefficient and sand body structural parameters Then, hierarchical cluster analysis is used to calculate the weight coefficients of each controlling factor, and combined with linear regression, quantitative evaluation parameters for sand body structure are established. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0058] Quantitative evaluation parameters of sand body structure It reflects the degree of homogeneity within the sand body. The higher the value, the more homogeneous the sand body, indicating thick-layered massive sandstone with good structural quality; conversely, a lower value indicates a less homogeneous sandstone body. The smaller the value, the stronger the heterogeneity inside the sand body, the more developed the muddy interlayers and physical property interlayers, the more the sand body is a thin interlayer of sand and mud, and the poorer the quality of the sand body structure. This method was used to evaluate the oil-bearing potential of 25 wells with oil testing and production data in the study area. The evaluation results for 21 of these wells were consistent with the actual production situation. Parameter evaluation of the oil-bearing potential of tight sandstone reservoirs is relatively reliable.

[0059] like Figures 5-7 The figures show examples of sand body structure parameter calculations for wells L38, B35, and L82 in the study area. The curves are as follows: the first curve shows the spontaneous potential and natural gamma curves; the second curve shows the logging resistivity curve; the third curve shows the sonic transit time and density curves; the fourth curve shows the sand body structure parameters calculated using the curve smoothness function; the fifth curve shows the oil testing conclusions and interpretation conclusions; and the sixth curve shows the sandstone-mudstone profile.

[0060] The gamma ray logging curve in well L38 of the study area is a medium-amplitude box shape with micro-tooth pattern, indicating a massive sand body with good overall homogeneity. The values ​​are relatively small, averaging 11.5, indicating low reservoir heterogeneity and suggesting a pure oil layer as interpreted by well logging. These are the quantitative evaluation parameters of the sand body structure in this well. The value was 5.3, indicating good sand quality. The well produced 20.9 t / d of oil during the test, which is relatively high.

[0061] The natural gamma curves in well B35 in the study area exhibit serrated bell-shaped and finger-shaped characteristics, indicating interbedded sand and mud layers with poor overall homogeneity of the sand body. The value is 15.2, a quantitative evaluation parameter for sand body structure. The well has a strength of 3.9, indicating it is a medium-quality sand body with low oil saturation, poor reservoir properties, and strong oil heterogeneity. Well logging interpretation indicates it is a poor oil layer. The well's daily oil production during testing was 6.46 t / d.

[0062] Based on the calculated sand body structure parameters and oil-bearing parameters, the smoothness of well L38 is significantly better than that of well B35. According to the evaluation results of logging parameters and actual production conditions, the reservoir sand body structure and oil-bearing properties of well L38 are superior to those of well B35.

[0063] Figure 7 This study uses the L82 well as an example to calculate sand body structure parameters in the L82 well reservoir. The L82 well exhibits the worst sand body structure, with strong heterogeneity. Quantitative evaluation parameters for the sand body structure are provided. The value is 1.2, indicating poor sand quality and the reservoir does not contain oil.

[0064] Figure 8 Quantitative evaluation parameters for reservoir sand body structure in the study area Distribution frequency of values, sand body structure parameters in the study area The values ​​are mainly concentrated between 2.0 and 4.5, with an average of 2.9, indicating that the reservoir sand bodies in the study area are of medium quality.

[0065] Based on the statistical analysis of oil trial data in the study area, such as Figure 9As shown, the stacked box-shaped sand body structure exhibited better oil production during testing, with daily oil production concentrated between 5 and 15 tons, reaching a maximum of 50.3 tons per day. The toothed bell-shaped sand body showed daily oil production concentrated between 0 and 10 tons, with a maximum of 24.4 tons per day. Isolated box-shaped sand bodies produced less than 5 tons of oil per day. The peak oil production values ​​were the same for both blocky and layered stacked box-shaped sand bodies, but the blocky stacked box-shaped sand bodies had a higher proportion of high-yield wells.

[0066] The detailed characterization of sand body structures and the study of the vertical and planar distribution patterns of individual sand bodies are of great guiding significance for the exploration and development of oil reservoirs. This invention, based on the analysis of the logging response and morphological characteristics of individual sand bodies, comprehensively utilizes sedimentary, sand body, and logging data. Using sand body structure characteristic analysis, it finely characterizes the vertical stacking and lateral contact relationships of multi-phase channel sedimentary sand bodies, clarifying the spatial distribution of sand bodies in tight sandstone reservoirs. Furthermore, by utilizing the sensitivity logging curves of sand body structure, it constructs logging characterization parameters for sand body structure, quantitatively evaluates the sand body structure of tight sandstone reservoirs, and identifies high-quality oil-bearing sand bodies.

[0067] Based on the above method, this invention also discloses a quantitative evaluation system for sand body structure in tight sandstone reservoirs, see [link to relevant documentation].
