Abstract:

The Fengcheng formation in the Mahu sag is an alkaline lake sediment,and is divided into Feng 1 member,Feng 2 member and Feng 3 member from bottom to top. In the Fengcheng formation,the lithology vertically changes rapidly,the mineral composition is complex,and the organic-rich shale source is integrated with the shale reservoir. The formation bears oil universally,but the sweet spots are scattered. The results of formation testing for single layers are not satisfied,showing an unclear production potential. According to core slices and geochemical analyses,the Fengcheng formation in the Mahu sag is dominated by lamellar silty shale intercalated with dolomite,which are mainly composed of terrigenous clastic minerals and carbonate minerals. With the variation of burial depth,the pore volume changes consistently with the variation of surface area of pores,and the pore volume is mainly contributed by macropores (pore diameter > 50 nm). The source rock is dominated by Type Ⅱ organic matter,and the vitrinite reflectance ranges from 0.85% to 1.40%,indicating a peak oil generation period. There are many shear fractures with middle to high angles in the Feng 2 member,and shear fractures with middle to high angles and structural fractures with low angles in the Feng 3 member,whose formation and development degree are controlled by lithology,mineral composition,rock mechanical properties,etc. Based on the characteristics of lithologic assemblage,reservoir property and oil-bearing property,four relatively concentrated sweet spots have been identified. When performing multi-interval formation testing and production testing in vertical wells,it is necessary to select sweet spots with good oil content and more fractures to conduct geological research and geology-engineering integration technology research,and to perform production improvement tests in horizontal wells,so as to realize comprehensive breakthrough for shale oil exploration and development in the Fengcheng formation in the study area
