Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the mechanism of natural gas migration and accumulation in tight sandstone reservoirs, and particularly to a method, system, and computer program product for determining the lower limit of effective porosity in tight sandstone reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] Deep tight sandstone gas is one of the most important unconventional natural gas resources. In the journal "Experimental Geology of Petroleum" (Vol. 28, No. 3, p. 211) in 2006, Jiang Zhenxue gave the definition of "pre-formed" tight sandstone gas reservoir by comparing the reservoir formation characteristics, conditions and formation mechanisms of tight gas reservoirs. That is, the reservoir compaction process occurs before the natural gas charging during the peak period of source rock hydrocarbon expulsion. This is called the reservoir pre-tightening deep basin gas reservoir type (abbreviated as "pre-formed" deep basin gas reservoir).
[0003] The lower limit of the physical properties of effective reservoirs in "pre-formed" tight sandstone is generally measured by the minimum porosity and minimum permeability that allow fluids to access and permeate. Among these, determining the lower limit of effective porosity is of great significance for formulating the next development plan for oil and gas fields, improving the tight oil accumulation mechanism, and increasing reserve geological reserves.
[0004] Among related technologies, the method of determining the lower limit of physical properties through empirical statistical methods has the advantages of simplicity and speed. However, due to the lack of sufficient theoretical support, it is difficult to determine whether it reflects the true situation of the reservoir. Experimental simulation mainly adopts core displacement experiments, the key of which is the determination of various parameters and the selection of samples. The experimental process and results are relatively ideal. Zheng Dingye, in "Petroleum and Natural Gas Geology" 2020, Vol. 41, No. 4, p. 749, determined the method for determining the lower limit of effective pore throat radius of three source-reservoir combination relationships in tight sandstone reservoirs from the perspective of dynamic mechanism. However, he did not clearly point out the criteria for judging the lower limit of effective porosity of "pre-formed" tight sandstone reservoirs.
[0005] While existing technologies offer some methods for calculating the lower limits of effective reservoir properties under constraints of hydrocarbon accumulation dynamics and pore structure—such as establishing functional relationships between oil-water interfacial tension and formation temperature, between the maximum connected pore throat radius and permeability, and between reservoir K / φ and K under pore throat structure type constraints—and calculating the lower limits of effective reservoir properties under different formation temperature conditions constrained by hydrocarbon accumulation dynamics and pore throat structure, these methods are not applicable to determining the lower limits of deep tight sandstone reservoirs.

In this embodiment, the balance relationship between dynamics (hydrocarbon expulsion intensity) and resistance (the sum of capillary force and hydrostatic pressure) under the critical conditions was designed and established; and the correlation between critical porosity and pore throat radius was fitted using high-pressure mercury injection experimental data, providing important theoretical support for studying the formation mechanism and distribution prediction of deep tight oil and gas reservoirs.
[0100] The method for determining the lower limit of effective porosity in tight sandstone reservoirs provided in this application is simple to operate and can accurately and effectively calculate the lower limit of porosity in tight sandstone reservoirs, providing a new approach for the evaluation of tight sandstone reservoirs, compared with the prior art.
[0101] Example 3:
[0102] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment is a specific example.
[0103] In this embodiment, a method for determining the lower limit of effective porosity in tight sandstone reservoirs is provided, which may include steps (1) to (4), specifically:
[0104] (1) Obtain relevant parameters of the source rock strata (mudstone + coal seam) for injecting natural gas into deep “pre-formed” tight sandstone reservoirs;
[0105] (2) Based on the relevant parameters of the source rock strata obtained, determine the calculation method of the charging power when natural gas is charged into the "pre-formed" tight sandstone reservoir;
[0106] (3) Obtain relevant parameters of the “first-formed” tight sandstone reservoir and determine the calculation formula for the critical pore throat radius of natural gas injected into the reservoir after it is discharged from the source rock;
[0107] (4) Based on the critical pore throat radius calculation formula, a natural gas charging intensity force balance calculation model is established, and finally the lower limit of the effective porosity of the reservoir is determined. Wherein:
[0108] Step (1) specifically involves the following parameters of the source rock strata (mudstone + coal seam): hydrocarbon generation potential index, TOC, thickness of the source rock and density of the source rock. The parameters are obtained through geophysical methods and experimental testing.
[0109] Based on relevant parameters of the source rock (including hydrocarbon generation potential index, TOC, source rock thickness, and source rock density), the hydrocarbon expulsion intensity is determined using a pre-set hydrocarbon expulsion intensity determination model with coal seams and mudstone as common source rocks. The pre-set hydrocarbon expulsion intensity determination model can be expressed as follows:

All other constants in the formula are constants, including: Z = 717, R = 8.31433, M = 0.016. Furthermore, the value of φ can be obtained experimentally; ρ gl It is related to temperature and pressure and can be found in the NIST database.
[0119] Step (3) specifically involves: first determining the parameters related to the natural gas injection resistance (static water column pressure + capillary force), including ρ. w (density of water), g (acceleration due to gravity), H (height of water column), σ (interfacial tension between air and water), and θ (wetting angle).

[0121] Next, the critical pore throat radius r when natural gas enters the reservoir is determined.
[0122] Optionally, based on the principle of force balance, namely the principle that natural gas enters the "first-formed" tight sandstone reservoir by breaking through the maximum pore throat radius of the reservoir, the critical pore throat radius relationship related to the charging power can be derived.
[0123] In some embodiments, the preset throat radius determination model includes:
[0124]
[0125] Where r is the critical throat radius, Z is the gas compressibility coefficient, and q e R is the hydrocarbon expulsion rate, T is the molar gas constant, M is the thermodynamic temperature, and h is a constant. m h represents the thickness of the mudstone. c ρ is the thickness of the coal seam. w ρ is the density of water, g is the acceleration due to gravity, H is the height of the water column, φ is the porosity of the source rock, σ is the gas-water interfacial tension, and θ is the wetting angle.
[0126] Step (4) specifically involves determining the correlation between the effective porosity and the critical pore throat radius of the "pre-formed" tight sandstone reservoir based on the mercury intrusion porosimetry results. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0127] φ=3.2068e 1.9163 r
[0128] in, , represents the lower limit of effective porosity of "pre-formed" tight sandstone reservoirs, in %; r is the critical pore throat radius corresponding to the effective porosity of the reservoir, in μm.
[0129] To improve the drilling success rate of deep "pre-formed" tight sandstone reservoirs, avoid ineffective reservoir layers, and save production costs, a reasonable and feasible method for determining the lower limit of effective porosity in "pre-formed" tight sandstone reservoirs is needed. The method for determining the lower limit of effective porosity in tight sandstone reservoirs disclosed in this embodiment can be used to determine the lower limit of effective porosity in deep "pre-formed" tight sandstone reservoirs.

[0139] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a hydrocarbon expulsion intensity map of the Benxi Formation source rocks in the Ordos Basin. The map shows that the hydrocarbon expulsion intensity of the Benxi Formation ranges from 2 to 18 × 10⁻⁶. 8 m 3 / km 2 Between these, the hydrocarbon expulsion center is located in the southern part of the basin.
[0140] Step 2: Based on the relevant parameters of the source rock strata obtained, determine the calculation method for the charging power when natural gas is injected into the "pre-formed" tight sandstone reservoir;
