Abstract:

Bauxite gas reservoir is a kind of very rare unconventional gas reservoir recently discovered in the Ordos basin, and well logging evaluation plays an important role in its exploration and development. In the early well logging evaluation, bauxite was considered as the weathering crust caprock, but not as a reservoir, and there was no systematic well logging evaluation method suitable for the exploration and development of bauxite gas reservoirs. Based on the aluminous rocks in Taiyuan formation in the Longdong area, southwestern Ordos basin, the well logging evaluation method for bauxite gas reservoirs was studied from five aspects, that is, qualitative lithology identification, mineral composition, reservoir physical properties, quantitative calculation of gas-bearing properties and systematic summary of imaging model-pore structure characteristics. The well logging response for identifying aluminous rock formations was clarified and the aluminous rock identification chart by acoustic time-gamma ray was established. The porosity-permeability-saturation evaluation model for bauxite gas reservoirs was constructed through petrophysical experiments, and the criteria for identifying bauxite reservoir was proposed by combining micro-resistivity scanning imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance logging data. Finally, a well logging evaluation method for bauxite gas reservoirs was formed.

Key words: Ordos basin, unconventional gas reservoir, bauxite gas reservoir, logging evaluation, mineral composition, reservoir physical property, identification criteria
