Abstract:

The second member of Sangonghe formation in Moxizhuang oilfield presents the characteristics of low porosity, low permeability and strong heterogeneity. Based on the data of conventional core analysis, mercury injection and formation test, the paper compares the application effects of commonly-used methods to determine the lower limits of physical properties of effective reservoirs in the study area, determines the lower limits of reservoir physical properties in the second member of Sangonghe formation, and analyzes the main factors influencing the lower limits of reservoir physical properties. The results show that the second member of Sangonghe formation in Moxizhuang oilfield is mainly composed of medium-fine sandstone deposited in delta front, the reservoir space of the formation is dominated by primary intergranular pores, and the methods of starting pressure gradient, the distribution function curve and oil-bearing occurrence are very practical for determining the lower limits of reservoir physical properties in the study area, and the lower limits of reservoir porosity and permeability are determined as 10.1% and 1.15 mD, respectively. Sedimentary facies and diagenesis are the main factors affecting the lower limits of reservoir physical properties. Strong dissolution, weak compaction and weak cementation reservoirs of underwater distributary channel microfacies have the lowest limits of physical properties. In addition, crude oil properties and reservoir burial depth are the minor factors affecting the lower limits of reservoir physical properties.

Key words: Moxizhuang oilfield, Sangonghe formation, low porosity and low permeability, effective reservoir, starting pressure gradient method, distribution function curve method, oil-bearing occurrence method, lower limit of reservoir physical property
