Abstract:

The ultra-deep oil and gas reservoirs in the Shunbei area have undergone multi-period hydrocarbon charging and migration, with complex oil/gas distribution patterns, making it difficult to identify reservoir fluid types. In order to accurately evaluate the fluid types in ultra-deep reservoirs in the Shunbei area, based on the data of well drilling, logging and production test, a comprehensive correction method for the key influencing factors of gaseous hydrocarbon data was established. A new method for identifying fluid types with a three-dimensional model incorporating coefficients of oil, gas and water contents was proposed. The results indicate that the comprehensive correction method based on the gray correlation algorithm for the factors affecting gaseous hydrocarbon data, such as drilling time, bit diameter, drilling fluid displacement, drilling coring, and drilling fluid density, has improved the comparability and accuracy of gaseous hydrocarbon data. Because the C1 content in typical gas layers is close to the total hydrocarbon content, and the heavy hydrocarbon content is relatively high in oil layers, while relatively low in water layers, a three-dimensional model using the coefficients of oil, gas and water contents is established to accurately determine the fluid types in ultra-deep reservoirs. The study results provide a basis for later decision-making on well drilling and oil and gas reservoir development.
