Abstract:

The research on reservoir characteristics and their impact on resource assessment is one of the bases for tight gas resource evaluation, production and efficient development.An integration of analyses of logging data, hydrocarbon generation conditions and production data, as well as thin section observation, is applied to investigate the reservoir characteristics, the distribution, thickness and superposition pattern of sand bodies in He 8 member and Shan 1 member in southwestern Sulige gas field, to select an applicable evaluation method according to the reservoir characteristics, and to explore the effect of reservoir characteristics on evaluation parameters.The results show that the reservoirs in Sulige gas field are characterized by low porosity, low permeability and strong heterogeneity, thus the volumetric method is suitable for its resource evaluation.The reservoir thickness and area are controlled by the distribution and superimposition pattern of sand bodies, and the distributary channels and composite sand bodies with large thickness and area are usually high in resource potentials and more productive.The reservoir porosity and permeability are controlled by debris composition and microscopic pore type, and are strongly modified by diagenesis at later stages.Compaction and cementation lower porosity, whereas dissolution may effectively increase it.The intensity of hydrocarbon generation fundamentally controls the distribution of the water producing zone and gas producing zone, while the sweet spots of tight gas are mainly located in areas of relatively high porosity and permeability in favorable reservoirs.For resource evaluation of tight sand gas reservoirs, the sedimentation controls the distribution and superimposition patterns of sand bodies, produces composite sand bodies of various types, determines reservoir area and thickness, and then controls the gas storage potential and production capacity.Diagenesis modifies reservoir porosity and permeability, thus mainly influences oil and gas reserves of the study area in a microscopic sense.
