Reservoir Type

The Siegenian Formation reservoir is a tight sandstone reservoir with relatively poor porosity and low permeability. In this paper, the reservoir characteristics and its main controlling factors of the Siegenian Formation in X block have been studied based on cores, well-logs, and formation test data including the thin sections and cast thin sections, observation of scanning electron microscope, pressured-mercury testing and X-ray diffraction analysis of clay minerals. During deposition of the Siegenian Formation, the depositional environment was predominated by lower shoreface, middle shoreface and offshore. The fine sandstone and siltstone formed in the middle shoreface environment is the main reservoir of the Siegenian Formation in X block. Six pore types including primary intergranular pores, intragranular dissolved pores, intergranular dissolved pores, moldic pores, cement dissolved pores and microfractures are identified in the Siegenian Formation reservoir. The quartz intergranular dissolved pores and the quartz overgrowth cement dissolved pores are found for the first time in this area. The secondary dissolution pore is the main pore type in X block. The pore throat has a small radius, poor connectivity and the pore structure parameters are poor. Combined with the petrophysical property and capillary pressure curves, the reservoir of the research area is divided into three types: mesopore-ultra low permeability reservoir (type I), low-middle porosityultra low permeability reservoir (type II) and low porosity-ultra low permeability reservoir (type III). Type II is the main reservoir in this area. The sedimentary environment, tectonism and diagenesis are the main controlling factors. Diagenesis is the most important controlling factor in this area. Diagenesis may play a catalytic role or may play a negative role on damage in the reservoir pore evolution. The compaction, pressure solution, cementation, replacement and cementation are the main diagenesis types which reduce the pore volume during the reservoir pore evolution. The dissolution including acidic dissolution and alkaline dissolution are the main diagenesis types which produce extra pore volume during the reservoir pore evolution. This study of the reservoir will guide the future exploration of this area.

The research is carried out on diagenetic minerals, pore types and its impact on the physical properties in Huanjiang C81reservoir of Ordos basin, which is based on reservoir physical property test, thin sections observation and scanning electron microscopy. Several minerals closely associated with reservoir physical properties are identified from diagenetic effect views. It results in that a classification is proposed for the diagenetic facies, consisting of four kinds of diagenetic facies: ferroan calcite cementation facies, hydromica/kaolinite cementation facies, chlorite coating facies and feldspar dissolution facies. The study of C81reservoir in Huanjiang region shows that this scheme is favorable to estimate low permeability reservoir, the result shows fairly good consistency with the distribution of physical property of wells.

Discovered in recent years, Chang 4+5 reservoir group of Yanchang Formation in Jiyuan area is ultra-low permeability reservoir. The evaluation and prediction of the reservoir is the most critical technology in reservoir development. Comprehensive analysis with multiple research approaches shows that the storage potential of the ultra-low permeability reservoir is jointly controlled by sedimentation and diagenesis. Sedimentary factor includes lithology and sedimentary facies, two basic factors affecting the storage potential. The reservoir lithology is of fine-grained debris-arkose and miliary arkose. Pore types are mainly intergranular pores and dissolved pores. The sandstone microfacies in the delta front underwater distributary channel has the best storage potential. Diagenetic factors, including diagenesis types, evolution, intensity, combination etc., have direct influence on the reservoir storage potential. Compaction and calcite cementation are the main factors that weaken the storage potential, whereas carbonate dissolution, especially the dissolution of feldspar plays an important role in the improvement of the storage potential.

Compound perforation fracturing technology is a space combination type ultra-deep perforating that can overcome some flaws conventional perforation has, such as shallow penetration and compaction damage. It can remove the compaction band and near wellbore pollution in rock matrix which results from conventional perforation. This paper introduces the theory of effect and influence factor of compound perforation fracturing technology and summarize the advantages for low permeability gas well on the basis of analyzing the mechanism of action about increase production of compound perforation. In order to evaluate the effects of application of this technology in in low permeability reservoir, 11 compound perforation wells and 12 conventional perforation wells were selected which have the similar physical property and the evaluation was conducted in two blocks. The results show that compound perforation can make the formation fracture pressure decrease in 3~5MPa and increase the permeability near the perforation channel. This technology has better effects than the conventional and decrease the cost effectively, improving production in low permeability oil and gas field.

Abstract. Microporous carbonate rocks form important reservoirs with permeability variability depending on sedimentary, structural, and diagenetic factors. Carbonates are very sensitive to fluid–rock interactions that lead to secondary diagenetic processes like cementation and dissolution capable of modifying the reservoir properties. Focusing on fault-related diagenesis, the aim of this study is to identify the impact of the fault zone on reservoir quality. This contribution focuses on two fault zones east of La Fare anticline (SE France) crosscutting Urgonian microporous carbonates. Overall, 122 collected samples along four transects orthogonal to fault strike were analyzed. Porosity values have been measured on 92 dry plugs. Diagenetic elements were determined through the observation of 92 thin sections using polarized light microscopy, cathodoluminescence, carbonate staining, SEM, and stable isotopic measurements (δ13C and δ18O). Eight different calcite cementation stages and two micrite micro-fabrics were identified. As a main result, this study highlights that the two fault zones acted as drains canalizing low-temperature fluids at their onset and induced calcite cementation, which strongly altered and modified the local reservoir properties.

Fractured-horizontal well can effectively reduce the percolation resistance near wellbore, improve the fluid mobility and enhance the production. However, in Chang 6 ultra-low permeability reservoir, BaiBao block, HuaQing oilfield, the efficiency of fractured-horizontal well is highly poor due to the production swiftly down and water cut sharply up. For studying the unsatisfying oil development by fractured-horizontal well in HuaQing oil field, the evaluation of reservoir properties and the option of stratum for fractured-horizontal well application have been performed based on the practical geological model of BaiBao block in HuaQing oil field. The numerical simulation is used to study the effect of reservoir permeability, Thickness and Aeolotropism on the production and to optimize the horizontal length, fracture spacing, half length and conductivity. The conclusion shows that Chang 63 stratum is qualified for fractured-horizontal well application. Through the practical geological model, the optimizations of horizontal length range, fracture spacing, half length and conductivity are 800m to 1200m, 77m, 150m, and 15μm2cm, respectively. The results can be conducted for fractured-horizontal well application in HuaQing oil field.
