Abstract:

The upper Wuerhe formation in Wellblock Ke 75 in Karamay oilfield, Junggar basin has strong heterogeneity and varying connectivity between adjacent wells, and the understanding of sand body distribution in the formation is greatly different from the previous one. It is necessary to study the sedimentary facies and sand body connectivity to clarify reservoir distribution. Taking the upper Wuerhe formation in the Wellblock Ke 75 as an example, the characteristics and styles of the 4th-order architectural elements for each subfacies belt of alluvial fan controlled by both debris flow and braided channel were discussed according to the principles of sedimentology, and the sedimentary characteristics and sand body connectivity of each architectural style were analyzed. The research shows that when the electrical properties and sedimentary cycle characteristics of neighboring wells in the sheet flow zone at fan root are consistent, the sand body connectivity is good, and when the cross flow sand bodies or cross flow fine-grained sediments are developed, the sand body connectivity is poor, leading to difficulties in forming effective reservoirs. The research confirmed a Class I favorable gas reservoir area in the Wellblock Ke 75 in Karamay oilfield.
