Abstract:

Gas logging of multiple wells at the top of Leikoupo formation in Puguang area is better. The laboratory analysis shows that high quality source rocks are developed in Xiaotangzi formation of the overlying strata. Therefore, as an important hydrocarbon source layer and caprock, the mudstone distribution prediction of Xiaotangzi formation is of great significance to the top weathered crust reservoir of Leikoupo formation in Puguang area. On the basis of defining the petrophysical characteristics and logging response characteristics of mudstone in Xiaotangzi formation, the fine well-seismic calibration, geological modeling and forward modeling of mudstone were carried out by using the drilling and 3D seismic data, and the seismic reflection characteristics of mudstone in Xiaotangzi formation were clarified. Finally, combined with paleogeomorphology analysis, attribute analysis and other means, the favorable facies belt of mudstone development was determined. On this basis, the thickness of mudstone was quantitatively predicted by sparse pulse inversion, a set of seismic prediction method suitable for mudstone of Xiaotangzi formation in Puguang area was established, and the distribution of Upper Triassic was predicted. Then the comparison of mudstone thickness with that of completed drilling confirmed the reliability of the prediction results.

Key words: Puguang area, Xiaotangzi formation, attribute analysis, seismic inversion, mudstone prediction in seismic
