In order to reveal the gas–water distribution and formation mechanism of the low-permeability sandstone gas reservoir, the gas reservoir distribution and the formation mechanism in a low-permeability sandstone gas reservoir are investigated using data obtained from a physical simulation experiment of gas percolation. The exploration and experimenting for petroleum in the upper Paleozoic gas pool of the Sulige gas field in the Ordos basin in this paper. Results showed that the gas reservoir is characterized by low gas saturation, a complex distribution relationship of gas–water, and weak gas–water gravity differentiation. The characteristics of gas distribution are closely related to permeability, gas flow, and migration force. The capillary pressure difference is the main driving force of gas accumulation. There exists a threshold pressure gradient as gas flows in low-permeability sandstone. The lower that permeability, the greater the threshold pressure gradient. When the driving force cannot overcome the threshold pressure (minimal resistance), the main means of gas migration is diffusion; when the driving force is between minimal and maximal resistance, gas migrates with non-Darcy flow; when the driving force is greater than maximal resistance, gas migrates with Darcy flow. The complex gas migration way leads to complicated gas- water distribution relationship. With the same driving force, gas saturation increases with the improvement of permeability, thus when permeability is greater than 0.15 × 10−3 µ m2, gas saturation could be greater than 50%.

The gas-water relations of low-permeability tight sand gas reservoir are complex and not necessarily linked to the structural relief, phenomenon that water is distributed in high structural position while gas in low structural position is common what makes it difficult to make a refined description of gas-water relations and distribution low. The article takes Zizhou gas field for example, establishes 4 gas-water relations modes of single well to analyze some profiles where there is abnormal phenomenon water up gas down, the fact is that water and gas are distributed in different sand bodies and Zizhou Gas Field is not a deep basin gas reservoir. The research shows the phenomenon that water up gas down does not exist, the gas-water relations are normal. The research results have certain significance for the determination of gas-water distribution law.

Deviated Wells

It is commonly believed that matrix and natural fractures randomly distribute in carbonate gas reservoirs. In order to increase the effective connected area to the storage space as much as possible, highly deviated wells are widely used for development. Although there have been some studies on the composite model for highly deviated wells, they have not considered the effects of stress sensitivity and threshold pressure gradient in a dual-porosity gas reservoir. In this paper, a semi-analytical composite model for low permeability carbonate gas reservoir was established to study the effect of non-Darcy flow. By employing source function, Fourier transform and the perturbation method, the pressure performance and typical well test curves were obtained. Eight flow regimes were identified, and their characteristics were discussed. As a result, it can be concluded that the effects of stress sensitivity and threshold pressure gradient would make pseudo-pressure and derivative curves rise, which is the characteristic of non-Darcy flow to determine whether there is stress sensitivity or threshold pressure gradient.

Sulige Gas Field is located in the Suligemiao area, northwest of the Ordos Basin, with a prospecting area of about 4×104km2. Owing to the strong heterogeneity in the SQW Block, one of exploration blocks in the Sulige Gas Field, remains reservoir characteristics of the gas field: lithologic gas reservoirs with characteristics of “three low” (low pressure, low permeability and low abundance). The He8 member of the Shihezi formation, the major exploration target, is deposited in braided river environment. The conventional logging data is very useful to indentify different facies and to estimate gas potential. The technology of discrimination with sedimentary facies and gas layers using logging data is established in this paper. We use the technology combining with AVO and other exploration methods to pick out 4 favorable exploration target areas with the success rate of more than 80%.

The Ordovician dolomite reservoir in Ma55–Ma510 sub-members in Jingxi in Ordos Basin is a newly discovered field with multiple natural gas pools. The gas accumulation patterns of the reservoir are unclear. Considering the geological background, the genesis, migration, and accumulation of natural gas in Jingxi were studied systematically, and favorable exploration targets were predicted. Natural gas in Ma55–Ma510 sub-members is a mixture of Upper Paleozoic and Ordovician products. The Upper Paleozoic coaliferous gas was mainly expulsed downward through the hydrocarbon-providing window where the coal-bearing source rocks made contact with the dolomite reservoirs. The gas then migrated from west to east and accumulated under the condition of lithology variation. The Ordovician petroliferous gas mainly migrated from bottom to top through fractures and mixed with the coaliferous gas in Ma55–Ma510 sub-members. The natural gas reservoir formation model was summarized as the migration of gas over a short distance and partial charging into the dolomite reservoirs from the Late Triassic to Middle Jurassic, and the migration of gas over a long distance and massive charging into the dolomite reservoirs during the Late Cretaceous. Ma55 and Ma56 sub-members are the focus of further exploration, and petroliferous gas in Ma57–Ma510 sub-members deserves attention. The dolomite reservoirs of the hydrocarbon-providing windows and the east of these locations are the favorable exploration targets.

Porosity And Permeability

Daqing Wuzhan gas field is a deformable low permeability gas filed. Based on the lab study of changing law of porosity and permeability with confining pressure, a numerical simulation model of deformable low permeability gas reservoir is established and is solved by using IMPES method. Comparing with the result of eclipse shows the method is valid. Field example shows the dynamic geological reserves of Wuzhan gas field is low and the new wells should be drilled at the area where there is production potential and larger effective thickness. Comparison of results obtained from different models with field data shows the result considering medium deformation is more reasonable.
