Abstract:

Tight gas pyroclastic rock reservoirs are special unconventional gas reservoirs with complex lithology that call for in-depth research and more exploration.Those developed in the Shahezi Formation of Wangfu Fault Depression, Songliao Basin, are found to be challenging with fault blocks as their major control coupled with confusing features of sedimentary pyroclastic rocks and tight gas reservoirs.Limited understanding of the controlling fault blocks has hindered the exploration of the reservoirs.In this study, various techniques were used to evaluate the unique features of the reservoirs, including lithology, storage space, pore structure, physical properties and reservoir effectiveness, with a view to revealing the impact of source rock-reservoir interaction, hydrocarbon pooling elements, interlayer and intra-layer heterogeneities, and micro-diagenesis on the development of effective reservoirs from macroscopic (i.e.gas pools), mesoscopic (i.e.sand bodies), and microscopic (i.e.reservoirs) perspectives.We concluded that the traps, migration channels, gas pool distribution, gas-water contact and sweet spot distribution of the reservoirs in the area are conditioned by structures, faults, sand bodies, intra-layer heterogeneity and diagenesis, respectively.In addition, the lateral distribution of the reservoirs can be likened to branches of a tree along gentle slope zones from east to west; while vertically, the reservoirs are blocky and anti-rhythm distributed under the control of some hummocky rocks.The conclusion was applied to the well emplacement and mature well reevaluation in the Chengshen 6 well-block and yielded positive results, thus can be used for reference for the exploration, deployment, and classification of similar tight gas reservoirs in other areas.
