Abstract:

By using the experimental test data such as the total organic carbon content(TOC) and porosity and the drilling and testing data of horizontal wells, the researches on the source-reservoir coupling relationship of marine shale reservoirs in Nanchuan district and the reasons for typical high and low field wells have been carried out. The researches show that the shale organic matter and storage space are closely connected and interdependent, forming a complex source-reservoir coupling relationship between each other. The TOC(the source) and the porosity(the reservoir) are the key parameters to characterize the source-reservoir configuration types. There are 12 categories, including high-carbon with high-porosity, medium-carbon with medium-porosity, and low-carbon with low-porosity, for the semi-quantitative evaluation. By introducing this new method of source-reservoir classification, the evaluation criteria of source-reservoir configuration for Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ shale reservoirs of Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation in the study area are established. Combining the source-reservoir configuration evaluation and gas test production analysis of 8 horizontal wells with similar mining technology in the study area, it is shown that the larger the proportion of class Ⅰ source reservoir configuration in horizontal wells, the higher the fracturing gas test production. The new source-reservoir classification method is a practical tool for geological evaluation and post-compression productivity analysis of shale gas wells, and has the popularization significance.
