Abstract:

To accelerate the development and utilization of unconventional oil and gas resources in the Turpan-Hami exploration area, the current development of unconventional resources in China is reviewed. Considering the technical difficulties in development and the mature experience in domestic shale oil and tight gas development, the development strategies for unconventional oil and gas resources in the Turpan-Hami exploration area are discussed. The development strategies for unconventional oil reservoirs are proposed regarding different basins, structural units and target zones. For the Permian shale oil reservoirs in the Malang sag of Santanghu basin, multi-layer development strategy is adopted; along with the construction of the largest carbon reduction base in the eastern Xinjiang, the technology of CO2 full-chain energy replenishment + viscosity-reduction volume fracturing for shale oil is vigorously developed to continuously enhance the recovery of shale oil. For the Permian Mazhong tight oil reservoirs in the Santanghu basin, well group multi-media composite huff-and-puff is adopted to enhance the oil recovery to 15.0%. For the Permian shale oil reservoirs in the Ji 28 block in the Jimsar sag, eastern Junggar basin, based on the successful experience in the Jimsar Shale Oil Demonstration Zone, the shale oil sweet spots are classified and evaluated, their distribution characteristics are clarified, and the drilling rate of Type I + II reservoirs is improved, so as to realize the beneficial development of shale oil. For the Jurassic Sanjianfang tight gas reservoirs in the Shengbei sag of Turpan-Hami basin, pilot tests of geology-engineering integration are performed to increase the length of horizontal section and the drilling rate of reservoir sweet spots, so as to improve the production efficiency of the tight gas reservoirs in the Shengbei sag.
