The present application relates to a kind of methods for restoring
porosity evolution of clastic reservoirs under tectonic
extrusion, belonging to the technical field of oil and gas exploration and development.The method comprises the following steps: calculating the total compaction and pore loss of
clastic rock samples, selecting samples with similar burial depth, similar
rock structure and different maximum paleo-
tectonic stress as selected samples, obtaining the lateral compaction and pore loss of the one with larger maximum paleo-
tectonic stress by the difference of total compaction and pore loss corresponding to the two selected samples adjacent to the maximum paleo-
tectonic stress, and establishing the
functional relationship between lateral compaction and pore loss and maximum paleo-tectonic stress;calculating the lateral compaction and pore loss of each
lateral extrusion in multiple lateral extrusions;calculating the vertical compaction and pore loss according to the total compaction and pore loss and lateral compaction and pore loss, and establishing the relationship chart between vertical compaction and pore loss and burial depth;using the inverse
back stripping method, combining lateral compaction and pore loss and vertical compaction and pore loss, and drawing the
porosity evolution curve of clastic reservoirs in geological history under tectonic
extrusion.This method solves the problem of being unable to quantitatively calculate lateral and vertical compaction and pore loss in the process of restoring
porosity evolution of foreland basin reservoirs.
