Abstract:

The Jurassic ultra-deep sandstone reservoirs in the Yongjin-Zhengshacun area of the Junggar Basin are tight and heterogeneous, and the standards for evaluating these reservoirs and the favorable reservoir distribution are unclear, restricting oil and gas exploration and development. Based on well logging, coring, and testing data, and by using mineral analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), capillary pressure experiments, and core displacement tests, a study was conducted on the pore structure of the Jurassic reservoirs. The lower limit of movable pore radius was determined, and a grading evaluation standard was established with movable fluid porosity as the key indicator. The results show that the reservoir space in the medium- to fine-grained lithic and feldspathic sandstones is composed of intergranular pores, secondary dissolution pores, and microfractures, with small pore radii ranging from 0.005 to 5.000 μm. After calibrating the experimental capillary pressure curves, the lower limit of movable pore radius was determined as 0.100 μm through the NMR T2 spectrum at different displacement states, and then the movable fluid porosity of oil-bearing rocks was clarified. By comprehensively considering the lithoelectric characteristics, pore type and structure, and oil-bearing property, and combining the productivity characteristics of typical wells, a grading reservoir evaluation standard for the study area was established. Based on the standard the reservoirs were classified into Class Ⅰ, Class Ⅱ, and Class Ⅲ. The evaluation provides a basis for subsequent oil and gas field development and well deployment, and offers valuable insights for the exploration and development of ultra-deep tight oil reservoirs in the study area and for reservoir evaluation in neighboring areas.
