Abstract:

The lithology of the Lucaogou formation reservoirs in Jimsar sag is complex, and the rock brittleness has a significant impact on productivity. Based on the analysis of mineralogy, mechanical parameters and energy evolution characteristics, a new method for brittleness evaluation suitable for the Lucaogou formation reservoirs was proposed, which follows an analytic hierarchy process to compare the brittleness characteristics of different lithologies. The results show that the Lucaogou formation reservoir in the Jimsar sag has a low clay content and small differences in the contents of brittle minerals, so it is difficult to accurately evaluate the rock brittleness with the brittleness index; the reservoir is very heterogeneous, and the brittleness of different rocks varies greatly: the average comprehensive brittleness index of the argillaceous siltstone, sandy dolomite and mud shale is higher than 0.60, the average comprehensive brittleness index of the dolomitic siltstone and micrite dolomite is medium, ranging from 0.50 to 0.60, and the average comprehensive brittleness index of the dolomitic mudstone is relatively lower, only 0.49; for the rock samples taken from the same core, the brittleness in parallel bedding direction is larger than that in vertical bedding direction; and the development of beddings may easily lead to complex fracture patterns, which affects the brittleness evaluation results.
