Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas extraction, and more particularly to a method for identifying target sections in tight conglomerate reservoirs that are favorable for hydraulic fracturing. Background Technology
[0002] With the growth in energy demand and the continuous development of oil and gas prediction and development technologies, conglomerate oil and gas reservoirs have gradually become a new area of oil and gas exploration. Tight conglomerate reservoirs belong to the category of unconventional reservoirs, and their low porosity and ultra-low permeability make hydraulic fracturing technology the only economically feasible production method.
[0003] However, current geological research on tight conglomerate reservoirs mainly focuses on oil and gas exploration, lacking research on engineering and oil and gas production. In engineering operations, the lack of fundamental geological theory makes it difficult to select favorable fracturing intervals and blocks during oil and gas extraction. This often leads to difficulties in controlling the propagation morphology and manner of fractures after hydraulic fracturing, resulting in poor fracture conductivity, low oil and gas extraction efficiency, and an inability to meet the demands of oil and gas production.

[0039] This invention proposes a method for determining target intervals favorable for hydraulic fracturing from tight conglomerate reservoirs, which is used to screen the optimal conglomerate type corresponding to the target interval from tight conglomerate reservoirs in the target area.
[0040] For ease of understanding, the method for determining target intervals favorable for hydraulic fracturing from tight conglomerate reservoirs according to embodiments of the present invention is described below, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the target interval favorable for hydraulic fracturing from a tight conglomerate reservoir in this embodiment of the invention includes steps S110 to S140.
[0041] In step S110, the stratigraphic rock information of the tight conglomerate reservoir in the target area is obtained.
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, step S110 includes steps S111 to S113.
[0043] In step S111, at least one rock sample from the tight conglomerate reservoir is measured and analyzed to obtain the gravel size and gravel support morphology of the rock sample.
[0044] In step S112, at least one rock sample from the tight conglomerate reservoir is scanned to obtain the degree of gravel cementation and gravel composition of the rock sample.
[0045] In step S113, the gravel size, gravel support morphology, gravel cementation degree, and gravel composition of the rock sample are combined to obtain the stratigraphic rock information.
[0046] In this embodiment, multiple rock samples from different depths and layers of the tight conglomerate reservoir in the target area are acquired, and each rock sample is measured and analyzed. For example, the gravel size of the rock sample is measured, and the gravel support morphology of each rock sample is analyzed through X-ray diffraction. Simultaneously, each rock sample is scanned using a scanning electron microscope to obtain the degree of gravel cementation and gravel composition of each rock sample. Ultimately, stratigraphic rock information of different layers of the tight conglomerate reservoir is obtained for subsequent classification of different layers of the tight conglomerate reservoir.
[0047] In step S120, based on the stratigraphic rock information, the tight conglomerate reservoir is divided into multiple conglomerate types.
[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the stratigraphic rock information also includes color information and structural information of the rock samples. Step S120 includes steps S121 to S123.
[0049] In step S121, color information and structural information of at least one rock sample are obtained. The structural information includes the gravel shape, bedding structure, and gravel arrangement of the rock sample.
[0050] In step S122, the sedimentary subfacies of the rock sample is determined based on color and structural information.
[0051] In step S123, based on sedimentary subfacies, the tight conglomerate reservoir is divided into an above-water category and a subsea category.
[0052] In this embodiment, by using multiple rock samples from different layers at different depths in the tight conglomerate reservoir of the target area, it is also possible to obtain the color and structural information of the gravel in different layers of the tight conglomerate reservoir, thereby determining the gravel shape, bedding structure and gravel arrangement in different layers of the tight conglomerate reservoir. For example, the gravel shape includes sub-angular and sub-rounded, and the gravel arrangement includes debris flow, clastic flow and traction flow.
[0053] Color information for gravel includes oxidized and reduced colors. For example, oxidized colors include brown, such as dark brown, grayish brown, reddish brown, purple, and brownish gray; reduced colors include gray, such as greenish gray, brownish gray, dark gray, grayish green, and light grayish green.
[0054] By analyzing the color and structural information of gravels from different layers of the tight conglomerate reservoir, the sedimentary subfacies of each rock sample can be determined. The tight conglomerate reservoir can then be divided into an above-water category and a subsea category. The above-water category consists of strata located in the delta plain region, while the subsea category consists of strata located in the delta front region.
[0055] Furthermore, after step S123, step S120 also includes step S124.
[0056] In step S124, based on gravel size, gravel support morphology, gravel cementation degree, and gravel composition, tight conglomerate reservoirs belonging to the above-water category are divided into four above-water subcategories, and tight conglomerate reservoirs belonging to the underwater category are divided into four underwater subcategories.
[0057] In this embodiment, after determining the stratigraphic segments of the above-water major and minor categories in the tight conglomerate reservoir, each rock sample in the above-water major and minor categories is further classified according to the gravel size, gravel support morphology, gravel cementation degree, and gravel composition in the stratigraphic rock information, resulting in four corresponding above-water minor categories and four corresponding underwater minor categories.
[0058] Furthermore, the gravel size includes fine-grained, medium-grained, coarse-grained, and coarse-grained grades; the gravel support morphology includes mudstone support, sandstone support, and gravel support; the gravel cementation degree includes the content of matrix and the content of cementing material, with the matrix content divided into low and high content, and the cementing material content divided into low and high content; and the gravel composition includes clastic rocks, metamorphic rocks, volcanic rocks, and mudstone.
[0059] At least one of the following is different between the four underwater subclasses and between the four surface subclasses: gravel size, gravel support morphology, gravel cementation, and gravel composition.
[0060] Among them, the fine particles have a particle size of 2mm-8mm, the medium particles have a particle size of 8mm-32mm, the coarse particles have a particle size of 32mm-128mm, and the giant particles have a particle size greater than 128mm.
[0061] Clastic rocks include tuff, metamorphic rocks include quartzite and metamorphic sandstone, and volcanic rocks include felsite, granite and andesite.
[0062] Specifically, the four water-based subcategories in this embodiment of the invention include a first water-based subcategorie, a second water-based subcategorie, a third water-based subcategorie, and a fourth water-based subcategorie.
[0063] The gravel size of the first subclass of water is medium to fine, the gravel composition is clastic rock and granite, the gravel support morphology is gravel support, and the gravel cementation degree is low in both matrix and cement content.
[0064] The second subclass of marine gravel has a medium to coarse grain size, and the gravel composition is clastic rock and mudstone. The gravel support morphology is gravel support, and the gravel cementation degree is low in both matrix and cement content.
[0065] The gravel size of the third subgroup of water is coarse to giant, the gravel composition is clastic rock, the gravel support morphology is gravel support, and the gravel cementation degree is low in both matrix and cement content.
[0066] The gravel size of the fourth subcategory of marine rocks is medium to coarse, the gravel composition is clastic rock, the gravel support is mudstone support, and the gravel cementation is characterized by high matrix content and low cement content.
[0067] The four underwater subclasses in this embodiment of the invention include a first underwater subclass, a second underwater subclass, a third underwater subclass, and a fourth underwater subclass.
[0068] The gravel size of the first underwater subgroup ranges from coarse to giant. The gravel composition consists of clastic rocks, metamorphic rocks, and volcanic rocks. The gravel support morphology is gravel support. The gravel cementation degree is low matrix content and high cement content.
[0069] The second underwater subgroup has a gravel size ranging from medium to coarse, and the gravel composition consists of clastic rocks and volcanic rocks. The gravel support morphology is matrix support, and the gravel cementation degree is characterized by high matrix content and low cement content.
[0070] The gravel size of the third underwater subgroup is fine to medium, the gravel composition is clastic rock, the gravel support is sandstone support, and the gravel cementation is low matrix content and high cement content.
[0071] The fourth subgroup of underwater rocks is fine to medium-grained, with gravel composed of clastic rocks. The gravel support morphology is granular support, and the gravel cementation degree is characterized by low matrix and cement content.
[0072] In step S130, based on the stratigraphic rock information, geological feature results corresponding to each type of conglomerate are generated.
[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, in some optional embodiments, step S130 includes steps S131 to S132.
[0074] In step S131, rock samples of each type of conglomerate reservoir and stratigraphic rock information of each rock sample are obtained.
[0075] In step S132, based on the stratigraphic rock information of each rock sample, geological feature results corresponding to each conglomerate type are generated. These geological feature results include the gravel size, gravel support morphology, gravel cementation degree, and gravel composition of the tight conglomerate reservoir corresponding to each conglomerate type.
[0076] In this embodiment, after determining the above-water or underwater subclass corresponding to each rock sample, the corresponding stratigraphic segment is determined from the tight conglomerate reservoir based on the gravel size, gravel support morphology, gravel cementation degree, gravel composition, and the location of each rock sample in the tight conglomerate reservoir, so as to obtain the conglomerate type of the gravel segment. That is, the conglomerate type of the gravel segment is the conglomerate type of the corresponding rock sample.
[0077] Therefore, the tight conglomerate reservoir in this embodiment includes above-water major sections and below-water major sections. The above-water major sections include the first above-water minor section, the second above-water minor section, the third above-water minor section, and the fourth above-water minor section. The below-water major sections include the first below-water minor section, the second below-water minor section, the third below-water minor section, and the fourth below-water minor section. This achieves the goal of dividing the tight conglomerate reservoir into different sections based on the geological structure and gravel composition at different depths, so as to facilitate the selection of the most suitable section for hydraulic fracturing.
[0078] In step S140, based on the geological characteristics, the optimal conglomerate type is selected from a variety of conglomerate types.
[0079] In some optional embodiments, the specific steps for selecting the optimal conglomerate type from multiple conglomerate types based on geological characteristics are as follows: based on geological characteristics, select conglomerate types from all underwater and above-water subclasses with fine and / or medium-sized gravel, gravel support morphology of sandstone support, low matrix content, high cement content, and single gravel composition, and select these as the optimal conglomerate type.
[0080] In this embodiment, after dividing the tight conglomerate reservoir into four above-water sub-seamless segments and four below-water sub-seamless segments, the most suitable segment for hydraulic fracturing is selected based on the geological characteristics of the corresponding segments. That is, the segment corresponding to the conglomerate type with fine and / or medium-grained gravel, sandstone support, low matrix content, high cement content, and single gravel composition has the best physical properties and the largest thickness of the test layer, which is conducive to hydraulic fracturing.
[0081] The method for determining target intervals favorable for hydraulic fracturing from tight conglomerate reservoirs provided in this invention includes: acquiring stratigraphic and rock information of tight conglomerate reservoirs in the target area; classifying the tight conglomerate reservoirs into multiple conglomerate types based on the stratigraphic and rock information; generating geological feature results corresponding to each conglomerate type based on the stratigraphic and rock information; and selecting the optimal conglomerate type from the multiple conglomerate types based on the geological feature results.
[0082] The method provided in this invention can classify tight conglomerate reservoirs into various conglomerate types based on the stratigraphic rock information of the tight conglomerate reservoirs, and select the optimal conglomerate type most suitable for hydraulic fracturing from among the various conglomerate types, thereby achieving accurate prediction and selection of the optimal conglomerate type most suitable for hydraulic fracturing.
[0083] like Figures 5 to 14 As shown, the present invention provides an embodiment of a method for determining target segments favorable for hydraulic fracturing from tight conglomerate reservoirs. The method classifies tight conglomerate reservoirs to determine target segments favorable for hydraulic fracturing. The specific process and results are shown below.
[0084] In this embodiment, the target stratigraphic intervals favorable for hydraulic fracturing were determined from the tight conglomerate reservoir of the Baikouquan Formation in the Mahu Depression of the Junggar Basin. Table 1 shows the lithofacies structure and composition characteristics of different conglomerate types in the tight conglomerate reservoir.
[0085]
[0086] Table 1
[0087] In this embodiment of the invention, by obtaining 600 rock samples from tight conglomerate reservoirs, the lithofacies structure and compositional characteristics of different conglomerate types in tight conglomerate reservoirs are obtained.
[0088] As shown in Table 1 and Figure 5 As shown, A represents the underwater category, A1 is the first underwater subcategory, A2 is the second underwater subcategory, A3 is the third underwater subcategory, and A4 is the fourth underwater subcategory; B represents the surface category, B1 is the first surface subcategory, B2 is the second surface subcategory, B3 is the third surface subcategory, and B4 is the fourth surface subcategory.
[0089] The method for determining target segments favorable for hydraulic fracturing in tight conglomerate reservoirs provided by the embodiments of the present invention determines the sedimentary subfacies of each segment based on the color and structural information of each segment of the tight conglomerate reservoir, thereby classifying the tight conglomerate reservoir into subsea and above-water categories.
[0090] Specifically, the underwater conglomerate is predominantly reduced in color, mainly including greenish-gray, brownish-gray, dark gray, gray, grayish-green, and light grayish-green. The structural information of the underwater conglomerate includes the shape of the gravel within each layer, its bedding structure, and the arrangement of the gravel. The gravel shapes are subangular to subrounded and subrounded; the gravel support forms include mudstone support, sandstone support, and gravel support; and the gravel arrangement patterns are debris flow and traction flow.
[0091] The conglomerate of the shoal group is predominantly oxidized in color, mainly including dark brown, grayish-brown, brown, reddish-brown, purple, brownish-gray, and other mixed colors. The structural information of the shoal group includes the shape, bedding structure, and arrangement of the gravel within its strata. The gravel shapes are subangular and subangular-subrounded, primarily massive. The gravel support is mainly mudstone and sandstone, and the arrangement patterns include debris flow, traction flow, and clastic flow.
[0092] like Figure 6 As shown, in the conglomerate section corresponding to the first underwater subclass, namely section A1, the lithofacies of section A1 are mainly metamorphic and volcanic rocks, with a gravel-supported morphology. The gravel grain size ranges from coarse to large. The lithofacies of section A1 are thick-bedded and massive, with a maximum thickness of 3m. The gravel color is mainly gray and greenish-gray. The bedding structure exhibits a positive rhythm, and the gravel arrangement shows graded bedding and weakly oriented arrangement.
[0093] The first underwater sub-stratum, A1, consists of thin, interbedded layers of gravelly sandstone or dark mudstone, ranging from 10cm to 30cm in thickness, with scour surfaces between the sandstone / mudstone and the gravel. The gravel at the bottom of sub-stratum A1 is larger, reaching the giant grain size, and the gravel supports each other, exhibiting a massive structure. The gravel near the upper part of sub-stratum A1 becomes finer in size. The overall rounded shape of the gravel is subangular to sub-rounded and sub-rounded.
[0094] The average gravel content in the first underwater sub-group A1 is 69.93%. The gravel components are mainly clastic rocks (tuff), metamorphic rocks (metamorphosed sandstone and quartzite), and volcanic rocks (felphyllite and andesite), accounting for 32.36%, 38.5%, and 28.95%, respectively. The matrix is composed of argillaceous matrix, and the average content of the matrix is relatively low, at 1.98%. The cement is composed of calcite, and the average content of the cement is relatively high, at 5.95%.
[0095] The porosity of the first underwater sub-layer A1 is 7%-14%, and the permeability is (0.15-5)×10-3μm. 2 Its physical properties are relatively poor.
[0096] like Figure 7As shown, in the conglomerate section corresponding to the second subsea subclass, namely section A2, the lithofacies of section A2 are mainly clastic and volcanic rocks, supported by mudstone, with gravel grain size ranging from medium to coarse. The lithofacies of section A2 are thick-bedded and massive, with a maximum thickness of 2-3 m. The gravel color mainly includes gray, such as brownish-gray and earthy gray. The bedding structure is massive and rhythmic, and the gravel arrangement is oriented.
[0097] The second underwater sub-section A2 consists of thin layers of interbedded gravelly sandstone or dark mudstone, ranging from 10cm to 30cm in thickness, with scour-fill structures between the sandstone or mudstone and the gravel. The overall roundness of the gravel is moderately good, and the overall rounded shape of the gravel is subangular to sub-rounded and sub-rounded.
[0098] The average gravel content in the second underwater sub-group A2 is 58.79%. The gravel composition is mainly composed of clastic rocks (tuff) and volcanic rocks (felphyserite and andesite), accounting for 43.32% and 32.78% respectively; mudstone is the second most abundant component, accounting for 16.74%. Compared with the first underwater sub-group A1, the metamorphic rock content in the gravel composition is lower, while the mudstone content is higher. The matrix in the second underwater sub-group A2 includes argillaceous material, kaolinite, and chlorite, with a relatively high average matrix content of 7.78%. The cement is composed of calcite and iron-bearing calcite, with a relatively low average cement content of 0.62%.
[0099] The porosity histogram of the second underwater sub-stratum A2 shows a unimodal pattern, with porosity values ranging from 6% to 9%. The permeability exhibits a low unimodal pattern with a wide variation range, ranging from (0.16 to 10) × 10⁻³ μm. 2 Compared to the first underwater sub-category A1, the second underwater sub-category A2 has worse physical properties.
[0100] like Figure 8 As shown, in the conglomerate section corresponding to the third subsea subclass, namely section A3, the lithofacies of section A3 is mainly clastic rock, with sandstone support. The gravel grain size is medium to fine-grained, i.e., sandstone conglomerate. The gravel color mainly includes gray, such as greenish-gray, brownish-gray, and dark brownish-gray. The bedding structure is massive, with positive and negative rhythms, and the gravel arrangement is weakly oriented. The lithofacies of section A3 are interbedded with gravelly sandstone, coarse sandstone, or dark mudstone. There are obvious scour and infill structures between different lithologies. Parallel bedding and trough cross-bedding are present in the coarse sandstone. The rounding varies greatly, with the overall rounded shape of the gravel being subangular, subangular-subrounded, and subrounded.

[0122] As shown above, the third underwater sub-stratum A3 is the target stratum that best matches the optimal conglomerate type.
[0123] like Figure 14 As shown, after dividing the tight conglomerate reservoir into different conglomerate types and obtaining the lithofacies information of the conglomerate intervals corresponding to each conglomerate type, oil testing experiments were conducted on the conglomerate intervals corresponding to each conglomerate type to obtain the lithofacies oil testing results of the conglomerate intervals corresponding to each conglomerate type.
[0124] Based on the lithofacies testing results of different conglomerate types, it can be determined that the conglomerate intervals corresponding to the subsea major categories have better testing results, with larger cumulative thicknesses of oil-bearing and oil-producing layers. In contrast, the conglomerate intervals corresponding to the surface major categories have poorer testing results, mainly consisting of water-bearing and dry layers. Among the subsea major categories, the conglomerate intervals corresponding to the third subsea subcategory have the best lithofacies testing results, with a cumulative oil layer thickness reaching 100m. Furthermore, the conglomerate intervals corresponding to the third subsea subcategory are conducive to the formation of tension fractures during hydraulic fracturing. Although the cumulative oil layer thicknesses of the conglomerate intervals corresponding to the first, second, and fourth subsea subcategories are also considerable, the cumulative thicknesses of water-bearing and dry layers are still relatively large. Therefore, it can be determined that the conglomerate intervals corresponding to the third subsea subcategory are the most favorable lithofacies type for hydraulic fracturing, i.e., the third subsea subcategory is the optimal conglomerate type.
