Description
A method and apparatus for reservoir exploration and development based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method and apparatus for reservoir exploration and development based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information, belonging to the field of petroleum geological logging technology. Background Technology
[0002] During reservoir exploration and development, it is necessary to quickly analyze and evaluate the properties of crude oil in the drilled formation. The traditional method is to analyze the combination relationships of alkane components such as methane (C1), ethane (C2), propane (C3), isobutane (iC4), and n-butane (nC4) in the gas logging data to give the crude oil property evaluation conclusion. However, due to the limited information in the gas logging data (C1-C4), the accuracy of the crude oil property analysis and evaluation conclusion is low.
[0003] Furthermore, in order to improve the efficiency of reservoir exploration and development and accurately pinpoint the target strata, traditional methods mainly rely on comparing drilling time data with that of adjacent wells to achieve comparison between the formation being drilled and that of adjacent wells. However, this method is easily affected by drilling process parameters, which can lead to reduced representativeness of drilling time data and difficulty in controlling the formation comparison effect, thus affecting the formation comparison effect.
[0004] Furthermore, as older oilfields enter the later stages of reservoir exploration and development, some wells enter a high water-cut state. To improve the efficiency of oil and gas development, it is necessary to evaluate the water-flooded layer condition. Traditional techniques mainly rely on well logging methods for evaluation. To address the need for water-flooded layer evaluation, the logging industry has developed water-flooded layer logging evaluation technologies based on methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance and pyrolysis chromatography. However, these technologies suffer from problems such as technical complexity, high cost, and poor accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0069] Example 2
[0070] The following section, in conjunction with Figure 1, details the steps of the reservoir exploration and development method based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information provided in the embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, in conjunction with Figure 2, the process of implementing the reservoir exploration and development method based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information provided in the embodiments of the present invention using the reservoir exploration and development device based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information provided in Example 1 is described in four parts.
[0071] Part One
[0072] This invention provides a method for reservoir exploration and development based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information, including: obtaining two-dimensional gas chromatography information of n-alkanes from a formation fluid sample from a first well; and determining whether the formation to which the formation fluid sample belongs has crude oil resources based on the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of n-alkanes.
[0073] First, a suitable amount (e.g., 500 mL) of formation fluid sample from the first well is collected and placed into a sample bottle. Then, under the control of the control module 7: the sample pretreatment module 1 automatically and quantitatively extracts (e.g., 20 mL) of the formation fluid sample from the first well from the sample bottle and injects it into the extraction bottle. Next, it automatically and quantitatively extracts (e.g., 80 mL) of the extractant from the extractant container and injects it into the extraction bottle, mixing and extracting it with the formation fluid sample from the first well to obtain the extracted sample. The automatic injection module 2 automatically and quantitatively extracts (e.g., 5 μL) of the extracted sample and injects it into the one-dimensional gas chromatography column 3 for primary component separation, separating at least three categories of components: n-alkane components, cycloalkane components, and monocyclic aromatic components. At least the obtained components classified according to n-alkane components, cycloalkane components, and monocyclic aromatic components are separated. The three categories of components, distinguished by the fractions of n-alkane and monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, are respectively transferred to modulation column 5. Modulation module 4 controls modulation column 5 to modulate each category of component, resulting in modulated components. Each modulated component is then transferred to a two-dimensional gas chromatography column 6 for secondary component separation, at least separating various n-alkane components, various cycloalkane components, and various monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon components according to carbon number. At least these components are then transferred to an information quantification processing module for information quantification processing, obtaining the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information (e.g., C9-C9) of the formation fluid sample from the first well. 40 The content of various n-alkanes), and two-dimensional gas chromatography information of cycloalkanes (e.g., C9-C). 40 The content of various cycloalkanes) and two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., C7-C6). 17 The content of various monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).
[0074] Next, under the control of control module 7, the data processing module automatically calculates the light-to-heavy ratio N of n-alkane. The light-to-heavy ratio N of n-alkane is calculated according to the following expression based on the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of light n-alkane and heavy n-alkane of the formation fluid sample:
[0075] Where, n 9-10 n 11-15 n 16-20 n 21-25 n 26-30 n 31-35 n 36-40C in formation fluid samples 9-10 C 11-15 C 16-20 C 21-25 C 26-30 C 31-35 C 36-40 The content of n-alkanes; q1 to q7 are all weighting coefficients, with values ranging independently from 0 to 10, and q1 to q7 are not all 0 at the same time;
[0076] When N ≤ the first threshold, the data processing module automatically determines that the formation to which the formation fluid sample from the first well belongs has no crude oil resources; when N > the first threshold, the data processing module automatically determines that the formation to which the formation fluid sample from the first well belongs has crude oil resources; wherein the first threshold is greater than 0.
[0077] Finally, under the control of the control module 7, the display module 8 and the information output module 9 display and output the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of the formation fluid sample of the first well, the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of n-alkane, the light-to-weight ratio N of n-alkane, and the conclusion of whether the formation to which the formation fluid sample belongs contains crude oil resources. This realizes the visualization of the determination result of whether the formation to which the formation fluid sample of the first well belongs contains crude oil resources, as well as the key information and key parameters on which the determination result is based.
[0078] It should be noted that the expression for the light-to-weight ratio N of n-alkane listed above is only provided as an example. Depending on the formation fluid sample, the range of carbon numbers of n-alkanes covered by the detected two-dimensional gas chromatography information will inevitably vary. The carbon number range and weights in the expression for the light-to-weight ratio N of n-alkane listed above can be adjusted appropriately according to the actual situation.
[0079] As for the first threshold, a suitable value for the first threshold is determined by collecting two-dimensional gas chromatography information of n-alkanes, the light-to-heavy ratio of n-alkanes, and the presence or absence of crude oil resources in the formation of the first well from the drilled adjacent wells, and using statistical methods.

[0085] When G > the second threshold, the data processing module automatically determines that the crude oil resources contained in the formation of the formation fluid sample of the first well are light oil; wherein, the second threshold is greater than 0.

[0087] Specifically, the method for obtaining two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from the formation fluid sample of the first well is as described in Part I above;
[0088] Under the control of control module 7, the data processing module automatically calculates the light-to-heavy ratio A of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The light-to-heavy ratio A is automatically calculated based on the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of light monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from the formation fluid sample according to the following expression:
[0089] Among them, a 7-9 a 10-12 a 13-14 a 15-17 C in formation fluid samples 7-9 C 10-12C 13-14 C 15-17 The content of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; q 15 to q 18 All are weighting coefficients, with values independently ranging from 0 to 10, and q 15 to q 18 Not both are 0;
[0090] When G ≤ the second threshold and A ≥ the third threshold, the data processing module automatically determines that the crude oil resources contained in the formation to which the formation fluid sample of the first well belongs are medium-quality oil; when G ≤ the second threshold and A < the third threshold, the data processing module automatically determines that the crude oil resources contained in the formation to which the formation fluid sample of the first well belongs are heavy oil; where the second threshold and the third threshold are both greater than 0;
[0091] Finally, under the control of the control module 7, the display module 8 and the information output module 9 display and output the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of the formation fluid sample of the first well, the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of cycloalkanes, the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of monocyclic aromatics, the light-to-weight ratio G of cycloalkanes, the light-to-weight ratio A of monocyclic aromatics, and the determination conclusion of the nature of the crude oil resources contained in the formation to which the formation fluid sample of the first well belongs. This realizes the visualization of the determination result of the nature of the crude oil resources contained in the formation to which the formation fluid sample of the first well belongs, as well as the key information and key parameters on which the determination result is based.
[0092] It should be noted that the expressions for the cycloalkane light-to-weight ratio G and the monocyclic aromatic light-to-weight ratio A listed above are provided as examples only. Depending on the formation fluid sample, the range of carbon numbers of cycloalkane and monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons covered by the detected two-dimensional gas chromatography information of cycloalkane and monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons will inevitably differ. The carbon number range and weights in the expressions for the cycloalkane light-to-weight ratio G and the monocyclic aromatic light-to-weight ratio A above can be appropriately adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0093] As for the second and third thresholds, appropriate values for the second and third thresholds are determined by collecting two-dimensional gas chromatography information on cycloalkanes, two-dimensional gas chromatography information on monocyclic aromatics, light-to-weight ratios of cycloalkanes and monocyclic aromatics, as well as information on the properties of the crude oil resources contained in the first well, and using statistical methods.
[0094] Part Three
[0095] The reservoir exploration and development method based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information provided in this embodiment of the invention further includes: obtaining the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of cycloalkanes in the formation fluid sample of the second well adjacent to the first well, and determining the correlation between the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of cycloalkanes in the formation fluid sample of the first well to obtain the formation correlation results between the first well and the second well.
[0096] First, a suitable amount (e.g., 500 mL) of formation fluid sample from the second well adjacent to the first well is collected and placed into a sample bottle. Then, under the control of the control module 7: the sample pretreatment module 1 automatically and quantitatively extracts the formation fluid sample from the second well (e.g., 20 mL) from the sample bottle and injects it into the extraction bottle. Next, it automatically and quantitatively extracts the extract (e.g., 80 mL) from the extract container and injects it into the extraction bottle, mixing and extracting it with the formation fluid sample from the second well to obtain the extracted sample. The automatic injection module 2 automatically and quantitatively extracts the extracted sample (e.g., 5 μL) and injects it into the one-dimensional gas chromatography column 3 for primary component separation, separating at least three groups according to the classification of n-alkane components, cycloalkane components, and monocyclic aromatic components. The process involves at least three categories of components—n-alkane components, cycloalkane components, and monocyclic aromatic components—which are then transferred to modulation column 5. Modulation module 4 controls modulation column 5 to modulate each component category, resulting in modulated components. Each modulated component is then transferred to a two-dimensional gas chromatography column 6 for secondary component separation, yielding at least n-alkane components, cycloalkane components, and monocyclic aromatic components classified by carbon number. Finally, at least the cycloalkane components classified by carbon number are transferred to an information quantification processing module for information quantification processing, obtaining the cycloalkane two-dimensional gas chromatographic information (e.g., C9-C9) of the formation fluid sample from the second well. 40 (Content of various cycloalkanes).
[0097] Next, under the control of control module 7, the data processing module automatically calculates the determination coefficient r between the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of cycloalkanes in the formation fluid sample of the first well and the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of cycloalkanes in the formation fluid sample of the second well. 2 ; Determination coefficient r 2 The calculation method is existing technology and will not be elaborated here;
[0098] When the determination coefficient r 2 When the threshold value is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, the data processing module automatically determines that the formation fluid sample from the first well belongs to the same formation as the formation fluid sample from the second well; when the determination coefficient r 2 When the value is less than the fourth threshold, the data processing module automatically determines that the formation fluid sample from the first well belongs to a different formation than the formation fluid sample from the second well. The fourth threshold is greater than 0, and its specific value is obtained by statistical methods.
[0099] Finally, under the control of the control module 7, the display module 8 and the information output module 9 display and output the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of the formation fluid samples from the first well and the second well, the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of cycloalkanes, and the determination coefficient r. 2 The determination of correlation and stratigraphic correlation results enable the visualization of stratigraphic correlation results and the key information and parameters on which they are based.
[0100] Optionally, based on obtaining the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of the formation fluid samples from the second well adjacent to the first well, it is also possible to further obtain the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of the formation fluid samples at different depths from the second well adjacent to the first well and save it according to the well depth to form a two-dimensional gas chromatographic information database of the drilled adjacent wells of the first well, which facilitates the formation correlation between the formation to which the formation fluid samples from the first well belong and the formation to which the formation fluid samples at different depths from the second well belong.
[0101] Part Four
[0102] The reservoir exploration and development method based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information provided in this embodiment of the invention further includes evaluating the water flooding degree of the first well: collecting water-bearing crude oil samples from the first well, obtaining crude oil samples and separated water samples through oil-water separation processing; obtaining two-dimensional gas chromatography information of the crude oil samples and the separated water samples, and calculating the water flooding index D; evaluating the water flooding degree of the first well based on the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of the crude oil samples, the two-dimensional gas chromatography information of the separated water samples, and the water flooding index D.
[0103] First, collect an appropriate amount (e.g., 500 mL) of water-containing crude oil sample from the wellhead of the first well and put it into a sample bottle. Then, extract an appropriate amount (e.g., 100 mL ± 5 mL) of the water-containing crude oil sample from the bottle and inject it into a stirrer. Stir the water-containing crude oil sample for 10 minutes and then pour it into a test tube. Let it stand for 24 hours to achieve oil-water separation. The upper layer of the test tube is the crude oil sample, and the lower layer of the test tube is the separated water sample.
[0104] Then, under the control of control module 7: sample pretreatment module 1 automatically and quantitatively extracts the separated crude oil sample (e.g., 20 mL) and injects it into the extraction bottle; it also automatically and quantitatively extracts the extract (e.g., 80 mL) from the extract container and injects it into the extraction bottle to mix and extract with the crude oil sample, obtaining the extracted sample; automatic injection module 2 automatically and quantitatively extracts the extracted sample (e.g., 5 μL) and injects it into a one-dimensional gas chromatography column 3 for primary component separation, separating at least n-alkane components, cycloalkanes, and monocyclic aromatics. The system distinguishes three categories of components; at least three categories of components, distinguished by n-alkane components, cycloalkane components, and monocyclic aromatic components, are transferred to modulation column 5. Modulation module 4 controls modulation column 5 to modulate each category of component, resulting in at least modulated n-alkane components, modulated cycloalkane components, and modulated monocyclic aromatic components. Each modulated component is then transferred to two-dimensional gas chromatography column 6 for secondary component separation, yielding at least various n-alkane components distinguished by carbon number (e.g., C9-C1). 40 Various n-alkanes), and various cycloalkanes classified by carbon number (e.g., C9-C1). 40Various cycloalkanes) and various monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons classified by carbon number (e.g., C7-C12). 17 Various monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons); at least the various n-alkane components, cycloalkane components, and monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon components classified by carbon number are respectively transmitted to the information quantification processing module for information quantification processing to obtain the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of the crude oil sample, including the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of the n-alkane of the crude oil sample (e.g., C9-C1). 40 The content of various n-alkanes), and two-dimensional gas chromatography information of cycloalkanes (e.g., C9-C). 40 The content of various cycloalkanes) and two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., C7-C6). 17 The content of various monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons);
[0105] Under the control of control module 7, the crude oil sample is replaced with an equal amount of separated water sample, and the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of the separated water sample is obtained by detecting it according to the same steps. This includes the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of the n-alkane of the separated water sample (e.g., C9-C). 40 The content of various n-alkanes), and two-dimensional gas chromatography information of cycloalkanes (e.g., C9-C). 40 The content of various cycloalkanes) and two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., C7-C6). 17 The content of various monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).
[0106] Next, under the control of control module 7, the data processing module automatically acquires the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of the crude oil sample and separates the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of the water sample, and automatically calculates the hydrocarbon value D of the crude oil sample. O Hydrocarbon value D of separated water sample W And the oil reservoir water flooding index D;

[0119] The present invention also provides several application examples of implementing the reservoir exploration and development method based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information according to the present invention using the reservoir exploration and development apparatus based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information provided in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0120] Application Example 1
[0121] Using the reservoir exploration and development device based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information provided in Example 1, and the reservoir exploration and development method based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information provided in Example 2, the presence and nature of crude oil resources in the three formation fluid samples taken from the 4200-meter well section of Well G5, the 4125-meter well section of Well Q40, and the 3648-meter well section of Well W4-2 are determined.
[0122] The following steps were followed to determine the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of the formation fluid sample from the 4200-meter interval of well G5: First, 500 mL of formation fluid sample from the 4200-meter interval of well G5 was collected and placed in a sample vial for later use; then, under the control of control module 7, sample pretreatment module 1 automatically and quantitatively extracted 20 mL from the sample vial. Formation fluid samples from the 4200-meter interval of well G5 were injected into an extraction bottle. 80 mL of extract solution was automatically and quantitatively drawn from the extraction solution container and injected into the extraction bottle to mix with the formation fluid samples from the 4200-meter interval of well G5 for extraction, resulting in an extracted sample. The automatic injection module 2 extracted 5 μL of the extracted sample from the extraction bottle and automatically injected it into a one-dimensional gas chromatography column 3 for primary component separation, obtaining n-alkane components, alkanes, cycloalkanes, monocyclic aromatics, and dicyclic aromatics. These components were then transferred to a modulation column 5, where a modulation module 4 controlled the modulation column 5 to modulate each type of component, resulting in... Modulated n-alkane components, modified aliphatic alkane components, modified cycloalkane components, modified monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon components, and modified dicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon components were extracted. Each type of modified component was transferred to a two-dimensional gas chromatography column 6 for secondary component separation, resulting in various n-alkane components, aliphatic alkane components, cycloalkane components, monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon components, and dicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon components classified by carbon number. Each type of component classified by carbon number was then transferred to an information quantification processing module for information quantification processing, yielding the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of the formation fluid sample in the 4200-meter interval of well G5, as detailed in Table 1.
[0123] Similarly, following the same procedure for determining the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of the formation fluid sample in the 4200-meter interval of well G5, the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of the formation fluid sample in the 4125-meter interval of well Q40 and the formation fluid sample in the 3648-meter interval of well W4-2 were obtained, as shown in Tables 2 and 3.
[0124] Table 1. Two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of formation fluid samples in the 4200-meter interval of Well G5
[0125] Table 2. Two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of formation fluid samples from the 4125-meter interval of Well Q40.
[0126] Table 3. Two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of formation fluid samples from the 3648-meter section of Well W4-2.
[0127] It should be noted that, taking the 0.279% content of C9 n-alkanes in Table 1 as an example, this means that the total mass of all hydrocarbon components in Table 1, including n-alkanes, aliphatic alkanes, cycloalkanes, monocyclic aromatics, and dicyclic aromatics, is counted as 100%, with the mass of C9 n-alkanes accounting for 0.279%. The understanding of the contents of other hydrocarbon components in Table 1 can be inferred in the same way. The understanding of Tables 2 and 3 is similar.
[0128] Next, under the control of the control module 7, the data processing module automatically calculates the n-alkane light-to-weight ratio N of the formation fluid samples in the 4200-meter interval of well G5, the 4125-meter interval of well Q40, and the 3648-meter interval of well W4-2, respectively, according to the expression for the n-alkane light-to-weight ratio N listed in Example 2. The calculation results are shown in Table 4.
[0129] Table 4. N-alkane light-to-weight ratio (N) of formation fluid samples from the 4200-meter interval of well G5, the 4125-meter interval of well Q40, and the 3648-meter interval of well W4-2.
[0130] As shown in Table 4, the n-alkane light-to-weight ratio of the formation fluid samples from the 4200-meter interval of well G5 and the 4125-meter interval of well Q40 is greater than the first threshold, while the n-alkane light-to-weight ratio of the formation fluid samples from the 3648-meter interval of well W4-2 is less than the first threshold. The data processing module automatically determined that the 4200-meter interval of well G5 and the 4125-meter interval of well Q40 contain crude oil resources, while the 3648-meter interval of well W4-2 does not contain crude oil resources.
[0131] The value of the first threshold is determined by the data processing module through statistical methods by collecting two-dimensional gas chromatography information of n-alkanes, light-to-heavy ratio of n-alkanes, and information on the presence or absence of crude oil resources in the formations of adjacent drilled wells such as G5, Q40, and W4-2.
[0132] Furthermore, under the control of the control module 7, the data processing module automatically calculates the cycloalkane light-to-weight ratio G and the monocyclic aromatic light-to-weight ratio A of the formation fluid samples in the 4200-meter interval of well G5 and the 4125-meter interval of well Q40, respectively, according to the expressions for the cycloalkane light-to-weight ratio G and the monocyclic aromatic light-to-weight ratio A listed in Example 2. The results are shown in Table 5.
[0133] Table 5. Naphthenic light-to-weight ratio (G) and monocyclic aromatic light-to-weight ratio (A) of formation fluid samples from the 4200-meter interval of well G5 and the 4125-meter interval of well Q40.
[0134] As shown in Table 5, the cycloalkane light-to-weight ratio G of the formation fluid samples in the 4200-meter interval of well G5 and the cycloalkane light-to-weight ratio A of the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are less than the second threshold and greater than the third threshold. The data processing module automatically determined that the crude oil resources contained in the 4200-meter interval of well G5 and the 4125-meter interval of well Q40 are both medium-quality oil.
[0135] The values of the second and third thresholds are obtained by the data processing module by collecting information on the two-dimensional gas chromatography of cycloalkanes, the two-dimensional gas chromatography of monocyclic aromatics, the light-to-heavy ratio of cycloalkanes, the light-to-heavy ratio of monocyclic aromatics, and the properties of the crude oil resources contained in the drilled adjacent wells of G5 and Q40, and using statistical methods.
[0136] Verification 1. Verification of the determination result regarding the existence of crude oil resources
[0137] The logging interpretation results for the 4200-meter interval of well G5 and the 4125-meter interval of well Q40 indicate that they are oil-bearing layers, while the logging interpretation result for the 3648-meter interval of well W4-2 indicates that they are water-bearing layers. In other words, the 4200-meter interval of well G5 and the 4125-meter interval of well Q40 contain crude oil resources, while the 3648-meter interval of well W4-2 does not contain crude oil resources.
[0138] Verification 2. Verification of automatic evaluation results of crude oil properties
[0139] Density measurements were performed on crude oil samples taken from the 4200-meter section of well G5 in the laboratory, and the result was 0.87 g / cm³. 3 According to "ρ 轻质油 <0.87g / cm 3 0.87g / cm 3 ≤ρ 中质油 <0.92g / cm3 0.92g / cm 3 ≤ρ 重质油 <1.0g / cm 3 According to the standard, the crude oil sampled from the 4200-meter section of well G5 was determined to be medium-quality oil; the density test results of the crude oil sampled from the 4125-meter section of well Q40 in the laboratory also showed that it was medium-quality oil.
[0140] It is evident that the results of Verification 1 and Verification 2 are consistent with the judgment results of Application Example 1, proving that the judgment results of Application Example 1 on the presence and nature of crude oil resources in the formations of the 4200-meter well section of Well G5, the 4125-meter well section of Well Q40, and the 3648-meter well section of Well W4-2 are correct.
[0141] Application Example 2
[0142] Using the reservoir exploration and development device based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information provided in Example 1, and the reservoir exploration and development method based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information provided in Example 2, it is determined whether the formation at a depth of 3891 meters in well W456 and the formation at a depth of 3920 meters in the adjacent well W479 are the same formation.
[0143] Two-dimensional gas chromatography information (e.g., C60) of cycloalkanes in formation fluid samples from the 3891-meter-deep formation of well W456 was obtained according to the method described in Part III of Example 2. 10 -C 35 The content of various cycloalkanes), and the two-dimensional gas chromatographic information of cycloalkanes in formation fluid samples from the adjacent well W479 at a depth of 3920 meters (e.g., C). 10 -C 35 The content of various cycloalkanes); under the control of control module 7, the data processing module automatically calculates the C content of the formation fluid sample at a depth of 3891 meters in well W456. 10 -C 35 The content of various cycloalkanes, and the C content of formation fluid samples from the 3920-meter-deep formation of the adjacent well W479. 10 -C 35 The determination coefficient r between the contents of various cycloalkanes 2 The results are shown in Figure 3.
[0144] Figure 3 shows the determination coefficient r. 2 The automatic calculation results show the determination coefficient r. 2 =0.8582, which is greater than the fourth threshold (obtained by statistical methods); the data processing module determined that the formation at a depth of 3891 meters in well W456 and the formation at a depth of 3920 meters in the adjacent well W479, which has been completed, are the same formation.
[0145] Verification 3. Verification of automatic stratigraphic correlation results
[0146] A comprehensive interpretation of well logging data was performed on the formation at a depth of 3891 meters in well W456 and the formation at a depth of 3920 meters in the adjacent well W479. The logging curves of the corresponding formations in the two wells showed consistent trends, indicating that they were the same formation. This verified that the automatic formation comparison results in Application Example 2 were correct.
[0147] Application Example 3
[0148] Using the reservoir exploration and development device based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information provided in Example 1, and the reservoir exploration and development method based on two-dimensional gas chromatography information provided in Example 2, the water flooding degree of the oil layer in well section 6 (4461.7 to 4466.0 meters) and well section 7 (4477.2 to 4484.4 meters) of well W456 was evaluated.
