Influence of background heterogeneity on traveltime shifts for compacting reservoirs     

Rodrigo F. Fuck  Ilya Tsvankin  Andrey Bakulin 《Geophysical Prospecting》2011,59(1):78-89

Compaction induced by pore‐pressure decrease inside a reservoir can be monitored by measuring traveltime shifts of reflection events on time‐lapse seismic data. Recently we introduced a perturbation‐based formalism to describe traveltime shifts caused by the 3D stress‐induced velocity field around a compacting reservoir. Application of this method to homogeneous background models showed that the offset variation of traveltime shifts is controlled primarily by the anisotropic velocity perturbations and can provide valuable information about the shear and deviatoric stresses. Here, we model and analyse traveltime shifts for compacting reservoirs whose elastic properties are different from those of the surrounding medium. For such models, the excess stress is influenced primarily by the contrast in the rigidity modulus μ across the reservoir boundaries. Synthetic examples demonstrate that a significant (25% or more) contrast in μ enhances the isotropic velocity perturbations outside the reservoir. Nevertheless, the influence of background heterogeneity is mostly confined to the reservoir and its immediate vicinity and the anisotropic velocity changes are still largely responsible for the offset dependence of traveltime shifts. If the reservoir is stiffer than the host rock, the background heterogeneity reduces anisotropic velocity perturbations inside the reservoir but increases them in the overburden. As a result, in this case, the magnitude of the offset variation of traveltime shifts is generally higher for reflections from interfaces above the reservoir. We also study compaction‐induced stress/strain and traveltime shifts for a stiff reservoir embedded in a softer layered model based on velocity profiles from the Valhall Field in the North Sea. Despite producing discontinuities in strain across medium interfaces, horizontal layering does not substantially alter the overall behaviour of traveltime shifts. The most pronounced offset variation of traveltime shifts is observed for overburden events recorded at common midpoints close to the reservoir edges. On the whole, prestack analysis of traveltime shifts should help better constrain compaction‐induced velocity perturbations in the presence of realistic background heterogeneity.  相似文献   

超压对川东南地区五峰组-龙马溪组页岩储层影响分析     

刘若冰 《沉积学报》2015,33(4):817-827

四川盆地东南部保存条件较好的五峰组-龙马溪组页岩普遍存在超压,且在其他地质条件相同的情况下,超压页岩储层相对于常压、低压储层具有更高的孔隙度.研究表明,富有机质页岩在适中的热演化过程中,由于烃类的大量生成,形成较多有机质孔隙,增加了页岩储层储集空间;另一方面,烃类大量生成造成的超压对页岩储层储集空间保存具有至关重要的作用.川东南五峰组-龙马溪组优质页岩储层孔隙以有机质孔、黏土矿物孔等塑性孔为主,且缺少刚性矿物颗粒支撑,易被上覆地层有效应力压实.但超压的存在对于页岩储层具有保护作用,抵消了上覆地层有效应力对页岩储层的机械压实,从而使已形成的页岩孔隙保存下来,使页岩储集空间得以保留.研究超压对页岩储层孔隙度影响机制以及超压页岩储层发育模式对于四川盆地五峰组-龙马溪组页岩气勘探、开发具有重要意义.  相似文献

川西坳陷什邡地区蓬莱镇组气藏属于浅层常规—致密砂岩次生气藏,其形成机制不同于下伏须家河组储层的致密砂岩气。研究区内主要发育岩性圈闭,天然气来自于下伏须家河组煤系烃源岩及部分受到调整和改造的须家河组原生气藏,经长距离运移后在蓬莱镇组圈闭中聚集成藏。气层集中在蓬莱镇组中上部,天然气干燥系数大,以煤型气为主。流体包裹体分析表明,研究区内蓬莱镇组共经历3期热流体活动,前两期分别为液态烃充注及气液混合烃充注,但并未形成规模油藏;第3期为大规模天然气充注,对应成藏时间为晚白垩世晚期至古近纪早期(78~34Ma)。在此基础上,结合地质构造演化、烃源岩生排烃期、储层致密化窗口及生储盖组合特征,确定了蓬莱镇组天然气藏的形成过程及成藏特征:蓬莱镇组下部储层在晚白垩世中期达到致密化,已不利于天然气聚集成藏;喜山运动时期,下伏须家河组气藏受到调整和改造,早期发育的深大断裂得以扩展,大量深部气源沿断层向上运移至蓬莱镇组中上部,形成了浅层次生气藏。  相似文献

传统暂堵剂难以封堵低孔低渗煤层气储层中的大量纳米级别孔隙.通过煤岩显微观测、钻井液基本性能测试、泥饼清除实验、煤岩孔隙分布实验和气体渗透率实验,探讨了纳米碳酸钙降低低孔低渗煤层气储层伤害的效果.结果表明:纳米碳酸钙材料只有在水溶液中保持纳米级的分散状态,才可能对低渗煤岩起到暂堵作用;基于纳米碳酸钙的可降解钻井液既能封堵低孔低渗煤岩中微米级别孔隙,也能封堵其中的纳米级别孔隙;经过生物酶和稀盐酸双重解堵后,煤岩渗透率恢复值达77.17%~97.98%,储层保护效果好;煤岩孔隙分布实验可以在纳米尺度上研究纳米材料对低孔低渗储层的暂堵效果.研究成果可为纳米碳酸钙在低孔低渗煤层和页岩钻完井过程中的应用奠定良好技术基础.   相似文献

李佳  代立东  李和平  胡海英  惠科石  蒋建军  孙文清 《矿物学报》2015,35(2):154-158

利用交流阻抗谱实验技术,在0.5~2.0 GPa、573~873 K和10-1~106 Hz条件下,借助YJ-3000t紧装式六面顶高压设备和Solartron-1260阻抗/增益-相位分析仪测定了石英砂岩的电导率。实验结果表明:在测定的频率范围,样品的复阻抗的实部、虚部、模和相角对频率有很强的依赖性。随着温度升高,电导率增大,lgσT与1/T之间符合Arrhenius线性关系。通过拟合计算,获得了表征样品电学性质的指前因子、活化焓、活化能、活化体积等物性参数。杂质离子导电机制对高温高压下石英砂岩的导电行为提供了合理的解释。  相似文献   

内蒙古塔木素地区砂岩型铀矿床热活动与铀矿化之间关系     

张成勇  聂逢君  侯树仁  邓薇  王俊林  张良 《矿物学报》2015,35(1):79-86

巴音戈壁盆塔木素地区砂岩型铀矿目的层普遍固结,矿体多层但连续性差,分布不规律,后生改造特征明显。本文通过野外露头调查、岩芯观察和微观分析,发现该地区普遍发育穿层脉状石膏或方解石、热液金属硫化物矿物、矿物重结晶与新生胶结物等,出现硫酸盐-金属硫化物共生矿物和S同位素分馏,指示存在后生热流体活动。通过对矿体、矿石特征及铀矿物成因的分析,初步认为热改造对成矿控制主要发生在层间氧化作用后期,温度升高造成碳酸钙和硫酸钙沉淀、重结晶,破坏含矿溶液中碳酸铀酰络合物的平衡,造成U的沉淀,促使铀矿化进一步富集。  相似文献   

岩石脆性预测在吉木萨尔凹陷致密油勘探中的应用     

郭旭光 《地质与勘探》2015,51(3):592-598

岩石的脆性是非常规油气藏勘探开发中需考虑的关键岩石力学参数之一。岩石脆,压裂过程中易产生缝网,从而有效改造储层,达到提高单井产量的目的。基于岩石弹性参数的归一化杨氏模量和泊松比方法,是当前广泛采用的可用于地震预测的岩石脆性评价技术,但其结果受归一化参数取值的影响较大,适用性受到影响。利用杨氏模量和泊松比的商作为脆性评价指标,并用大量岩石力学实验刻度,大大提高了岩石脆性判别的可信度。利用地震叠前弹性参数反演,开展吉木萨尔凹陷二叠系芦草沟组致密油岩石脆性预测,指导水平井部署。为保证更好的储层改造效果,在水平井轨迹设计过程中不但考虑了储层物性,还充分考虑了岩石脆性。在优选的有利区钻探水平井,并实施了体积压裂,微地震监测结果显示压裂产生了缝状网,储层改造效果理想。该水平井试油获得了稳定高产工业油流。  相似文献   

热处理砂岩微观结构及力学性质试验研究     

赵怡晴  吴常贵  金爱兵  孙浩 《岩土力学》2020,41(7):2233-2240

采用核磁共振、电镜扫描、X射线衍射、单轴压缩等试验手段对某砂岩试样不同温度下（25～900 ℃）微观结构及力学性质的变化情况进行研究。研究表明：温度对砂岩试样微观结构具有重要影响，试样总孔隙率随温度的升高而升高，在150 ℃以下，由于中、大孔隙的减少，试样渗透性反而降低；当温度超过600 ℃时，中、大孔隙快速增加，试样渗透性能大幅增加；温度升高导致砂岩试样弹性模量减小、峰值应变增大以及孔隙压密阶段变长，宏观表现为脆性降低、塑性明显增强；热处理条件下，除微观结构的变化会导致砂岩试样力学强度改变外，试样矿物成分对其力学强度也具有十分重要的影响；450 ℃以下，由于矿物成分变化较小，试样力学强度主要受到孔隙度增加的影响，表现为强度随温度升高而降低；450～600 ℃，虽然孔隙率继续增长，但由于主要矿物高岭石发生脱水以及与其他离子形成新相矿物，进而导致试样强度没有随着孔隙增加而降低，反而出现一定的增长；超过600 ℃后，孔隙尤其是大孔隙的急剧增加，导致强度重新开始降低。  相似文献

Methane Oxidation in the Water Column of Xiangxi Bay,Three Gorges Reservoir     

Dan Lei  Jia Liu  Junwei Zhang  Andreas Lorke  Shangbin Xiao  Yuchun Wang  Wei Wang  Ye Li 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2019,47(9)

Four field campaigns are carried out to quantify the methane (CH₄) oxidation rate in Xiangxi Bay (XXB) of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR), China. The water depth of the sampling site varied from 13 to 30 m resulting from the water level fluctuation of the TGR. The CH₄ oxidation rates are measured in situ as the decline of dissolved CH₄ concentration versus time in incubated, and those rates. The CH₄ oxidation rates range from 1.18 × 10^?3 to 3.69 × 10^?3 µmol L^?1 h^?1, with higher values and stronger variation during summer. A static floating chamber method is used to measure CH₄ emitted to the atmosphere resulting in an annual mean flux of 4.79 µmol m^?2 h^?1. The CH₄ emission rate is significantly negatively correlated with the water level. The results show that a large fraction of CH₄ is consumed in the water column with a range of 28.97–55.90 µmol m^?2 h^?1, accounting for ≈69–98% of the total CH₄ input into the water column, and more than 90% is consumed outside the summer, when the water level is lowest. Water depth, which is dominated by water level of the TGR, is a potentially important driver for CH₄ oxidation and atmospheric emission in the tributary bay.  相似文献
