Abstract:

In order to improve the accuracy of reservoir characterization for purpose of tapping the potential of remaining oil in the middle to late oil and gas field development stage, taking the shallow-water delta reservoir of the Huagang formation in C oilfield, Xihu sag, as an example, the reservoir architecture was investigated by using core, grain size, logging, and seismic data. The architecture patterns of composite channel sandbodies of shallow-water delta facies were established, and their spatial evolution was clarified. The results show that the H3c layer represents the upper plain-channel deposit of shallow-water-delta facies, which is dominated by vertically stacked thick sandbodies; the H3b layer represents the lower plain-channel deposit of shallow-water delta facies, in which laterally-migrated medium-thick sandbodies are developed; and the H3a layer represents the shallow-water delta-front deposit, which is featured with isolated thin sandbody. The development of vertical sandbodies was controlled by middle-term base-level cycle. As the lake level rose, the shallow-water delta in the study area formed a retrogradational sequence, and sandbodies evolved from sheet-like to isolated belt-like, resulting in deteriorating reservoir connectivity.
