Abstract:

There are multiple gas logging anomalies in the Shahezi Formation, Songliao Basin, indicating its tight gas potential. However, deep tight reservoirs in the area have strong heterogeneity, thin thickness, interlayer development and various types. Based on the analysis of conventional well log of well SK-2, we used elemental capture spectroscopy (ECS) well logging to finely retrieve the mineral component content for accurate lithology identification, and subsequently identified five types of reservoirs by crossplot analysis. Combined with petrophysical experimental data, we further obtained the reservoir evaluation parameters such as variable skeleton porosity, brittleness index, and organic carbon content, which allowed us to categorize the reservoirs into three groups based on the well logging data and comprehensive evaluation indexes. In the Shahezi Formation (3730-4500 m), the porosity values range between 5%-9%, and the brittleness indexes range between 45%-60%. TOC of adjacent source rock is generally high, with relatively large accumulative thickness, and depth intervals at 3798-3831, 3950-3990 and 4150-4200 m show favorable tight gas potential for exploration and development. We demonstrated in this paper that, ECS well logging can accurately evaluate tight gas reservoirs so as to provide a reference basis for fracturing optimization in tight reservoirs.
