Abstract:

A large number of deep low-permeability (tight) sand gas reservoirs are discovered in the Bohai Bay Basin, but the systematic investigation of hydrocarbon charging mechanism and accumulation process related to those reservoirs is rarely seen.The study investigates the Banqiao Sag by analyzing genetic affinities among gas samples at first, and then the relationship between the charging path, dynamics and resistance, as well as discussing the charging patterns by using a series of data, including logging, core observation, seismic surveys, tests and analyses.Meanwhile, combined with the systematic test and analysis of fluid inclusions, the charging characteristics and accumulation process of deep low-permeability (tight) sand gas in Banqiao Sag are discussed.The results show that gases in the study area are primarily a mixture of condensate oil associated gas and coal-derived gas from the 3rd member of Shahejie Formation (Es3) at mature to high-mature stages.According to the spatial distribution patterns between source rocks and reservoirs, the source-reservoir assemblages can be classified into three types, namely, the united source-reservoir type, the adjacent source-reservoir type and the separated source-reservoir type.The networks of pores, fractures and faults in the deep sand beds constitute the pathways for gas charging.The charging dynamics of deep natural gas is greater than the displacement pressure of faults and sand beds with 7.80-7.95MPa for the united source-reservoir assemblage, and 4.80-9.55 MPa for the last two.Whereas the displacement pressure of fault zones and sand beds ranges from 3.14 to 7.05 MPa, and from 0.01 to 0.29 MPa respectively.There are two kinds of charging patterns for the first assemblage:the first one is that the gas can be charged directly to the sand beds through the source rocks, the primary mode for the united source-reservoir type; the second one is that natural gas has sufficient dynamic to migrate upward through faults, and then can be migrated laterally in the upper sand beds, the main mode for the last two.In addition, the multi-stage and dynamic accumulation process of the deep gas reservoirs in Banqiao Sag is described as "two stages of oil charging, that is, oil charging before gas charging, a dominant pattern in the late period", which results in a distribution of "upper petroleum and lower gas vertically, and hydrocarbon accumulation near faults".
