Abstract:

The sand groups 4 and 5 of the upper Guantao formation (Ngs4 and Ngs5) in the Chengdao oilfield, Bohai Bay Basin, represent meandering river deposits, and exhibit rapid reservoir sedimentary facies transition. Reservoirs in the upper Guantao formation are found with pronounced interlayer and planar heterogeneities. Based on two dimensions of reservoir quality and spatial distribution, four evaluation index systems comprising basic parameters, intralayer heterogeneity parameters, interlayer heterogeneity parameters, and planar heterogeneity parameters respectively were established. Employing the Random Forest algorithm, the importance of each parameter to heterogeneity was quantified. Subsequently, basic composite index and intralayer/interlayer/planar heterogeneity composite indexes were calculated, a formula for calculating reservoir heterogeneity composite index was designed, and the reservoir heterogeneity composite index was yielded. The results indicate that a higher heterogeneity composite index reflects a weaker reservoir heterogeneity.
