Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas exploration and development technology, and is a quantitative characterization method for determining paleofluid migration in deep carbonate reservoirs based on silicon-mercury isotope coupling. Background Technology
[0002] The diagenetic evolution of deep carbonate reservoirs is influenced by multiple phases of tectonic movement, hydrothermal activity, and water-rock interactions. Paleofluid migration characteristics (migration path, migration rate, and migration distance) directly control the formation and distribution of high-quality reservoirs. Accurately and quantitatively obtaining core parameters of paleofluid migration (migration path, migration rate, and migration distance) is a crucial prerequisite for understanding the diagenetic-accumulation coupling relationship of deep carbonate reservoirs and overcoming the "black box" problem of deep oil and gas exploration.
[0003] Current methods for paleofluid migration analysis in deep carbonate reservoirs suffer from problems such as high ambiguity, poor quantification, and fragmented parameters, failing to meet the needs of refined research on deep reservoirs. These problems are mainly manifested in the following ways: (1) Traditional geological analysis methods (such as core observation and well logging interpretation) can only qualitatively determine the direction of migration, but cannot quantitatively characterize the source of the migration path, the type of medium, and cannot calculate the migration rate and migration distance; (2) Single isotope techniques (such as carbon, oxygen and strontium isotopes) can only trace the source of fluids and cannot correlate with transport dynamic characteristics (such as transport rate and transport distance). Furthermore, they are subject to the influence of later modifications and have strong ambiguity. (3) Existing isotopic methods have not constructed quantitative models for the characteristics of deep reservoirs such as high temperature and pressure, strong water-rock interaction and complex migration channels, and cannot achieve simultaneous quantitative characterization of migration path and migration rate; (4) The sample pretreatment and testing methods for deep reservoirs are not adapted to the requirements of simultaneous analysis of silicon and mercury isotopes, which can easily lead to impurity interference and isotope fractionation, affecting the accuracy of data.
[0004] A search for relevant technologies yielded the following results: Patent application CN112069620A discloses a method and apparatus for determining the degree of particle migration in natural gas hydrate reservoirs, comprising the following steps: establishing a pore network model to simulate the flow of reservoir particles in the network model under phase equilibrium conditions; obtaining capillary forces based on reservoir particle migration condition parameters; and determining the throat through which the reservoir particles flow based on the capillary forces. When the reservoir particle concentration is less than a preset concentration, if the diameter of a single reservoir particle is less than the throat diameter, or the volume of all reservoir particles entering the throat is less than the throat volume, the throat radius is updated to a first throat radius. When the reservoir particle concentration is greater than or equal to a preset concentration, and the diameter of the reservoir particles is less than one-third of the throat diameter, if the volume of all reservoir particles entering the throat is less than the throat volume, the throat radius is updated to a first throat radius. Based on the first throat radius, the degree of reservoir particle migration is determined according to a first predetermined rule. This document reveals the influence of particle migration on fluid flow during hydrate decomposition.
[0005] Patent application CN115774294A discloses a method for identifying the migration direction of overpressured fluids using the pressure gradient evolution rate. The method includes: Step 1, calculating the duration of each key geological event based on its stage; Step 2, predicting the current formation pressure using the Eaton method; Step 3, performing paleopressure reconstruction; Step 4, dividing the pressure structure of each key geological event stage based on the paleopressure reconstruction results; Step 5, calculating the pressure gradient of the overpressure top sealing layer and the overpressure bottom sealing layer; Step 6, calculating the evolution rate of each pressure gradient; and Step 7, comparing the magnitudes of the evolution rates of each pressure gradient, with the direction of maximum pressure gradient evolution rate indicating the pressure migration direction. This document utilizes the pressure gradient evolution rate to identify the migration direction of overpressured fluids. Summary of the Invention

Strong adaptability to deep reservoirs: The customized sample pretreatment process (i.e., silicon-mercury isotope integrated pretreatment) and fractionation model (including mercury isotope mass fractionation and non-mass fractionation) are precisely suited to the characteristics of high temperature and high pressure and complex impurities in deep reservoirs. The test data has small deviation and its adaptability is far higher than that of conventional methods. 4. High operational repeatability: The entire process has established quantitative standards and parameter thresholds, with clear steps and strong operability, and the consistency of repeated test results from different laboratories is ≥95%; 5. Significant geological application value: The quantitative results can be directly used for the reconstruction of the diagenetic sequence of deep carbonate reservoirs, the identification of hydrothermal activity periods, and the selection of high-quality reservoir target areas, helping to overcome the "black box" problem of deep oil and gas exploration and improve the exploration success rate.
[0019] This invention is applicable to carbonate reservoirs with a burial depth greater than 5000m, especially to deep carbonate oil and gas reservoirs such as the Ordovician, Cambrian, and Carboniferous systems in Xinjiang; it can also be extended to shallow and medium-depth carbonate reservoirs, other sedimentary rock reservoirs containing carbonate minerals, and the field of quantitative analysis of fluid migration in paleoclimate and paleomarine environment research.

[0026] δ 30 Si spatial fractionation gradient: Using the least squares method to apply δ 30 By linearly fitting Si with the spatial coordinate z, the following relationship is obtained: Where, δ 30 Si is δ 30 Si value, ‰; slope a is δ 30 Si represents the spatial fractionation gradient (‰ / km or ‰ / m); b is the intercept of the linear fit; z is the spatial coordinate.
[0027] In this invention, deep or ultra-deep refers to a depth > 5000m.
[0028] δ 202 Hg, Δ 199 Hg is one of the two key parameters of mercury isotopes, reflecting mass fractionation (MDF) and massless fractionation (MIF) processes, respectively.
[0029] δ 202 Hg represents the degree of mass fractionation of mercury isotopes, calculated as a deviation of parts per thousand relative to the standard NIST SRM 3133, in units of ‰.

Density gradient centrifugation (impurity removal): Mineral particles with a diameter of 100μm to 200μm are added to a zinc bromide solution (density of 2.70g / cm³ to 2.87g / cm³) and centrifuged (centrifuged at 3000r / min for 30min) to remove impurities such as carbonate minerals, silica, clay, and volcanic debris. The impurity removal rate is ≥99.5% as detected by EDS energy dispersive spectroscopy, yielding impurity-removed particles. 3. Acid-free purification: The impurity-removed particles are purified by vacuum washing with anhydrous ethanol (washing pressure -0.08MPa, washing times 3 times) instead of traditional acid washing to obtain rock sample powder, avoiding the fractionation of silicon and mercury isotopes and element loss caused by acid dissolution in traditional acid washing; 4. Stepwise extraction and purification: (1) Mercury extraction: Weigh 50mg of rock sample powder, use water bath pyrolysis-gold amalgam enrichment method, pyrolyze at 250℃ for 2h, release mercury vapor through gold tube adsorption enrichment to obtain pure mercury vapor for mercury isotope testing; (2) Silicon extraction: Weigh 20mg of rock sample powder, use alkaline fusion method (NaOH and Na2CO3 are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1 and melted at 600℃ for 30min) to extract silicon, cool and dissolve in deionized water, treat with cation exchange resin column to remove interfering ions such as Ca, Mg, and Fe to obtain pure silicon solution for silicon isotope testing; 5.
