Abstract:

In order to further accelerate the exploration and development for shale oil in the Lower Permian Fengcheng formation in the Mahu sag,Junggar basin,sweet spots of shale oil should be identified. Considering that lithology is the main factor controlling geological sweet spots,and brittleness index and horizontal principal stress difference are the main factors controlling engineering sweet spots,seismic methods of predicting geological and engineering sweet spots were established on the basis of prestack simultaneous inversion. In terms of geological sweet spots,by using core,experiment,drilling and logging data,the dominant lithology for shale oil sweet spots was identified to be dolomitic siltstone,the elastic parameters sensitive to the dominant lithology were selected,and the distribution of dolomitic siltstone was predicted by using prestack isimultaneous nversion and lithofacies probability analysis techniques. In terms of engineering sweet spots,using the Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio obtained from prestack simultaneous inversion,cubes of brittleness index and in-situ stress for the study area were obtained through the Rickman brittleness index method and a combined spring model. The predicted results are consistent with the actual drilling results,which confirms the accuracy of the prediction of geological and engineering sweet spots. The proposed methods can provide references for shale oil exploration and development in other areas.
