Abstract: According to the integrated research on cores, well logs and seismic data, the sequence stratigraphic division and the features of sedimentary facies have been studied comprehensively. We identified three third-order sequence boundaries, thus divided the succession into two third-order sequences in the Shahejie formation. Besides, we identified many kinds of sedimentary facies, such as alluvial fan, fan delta, braided river delta, turbidite fan and lacustrine facies. Based on the study of sequence stratigraphic framework division and depositional bodies, in combination with analyses of cores, logs and sedimentary data, we delineated the sedimentary facies distribution map of two sequences in the Shahejie formation. According to the study of distribution features and evolution laws of sedimentary facies, and the analyses of control factors, the sedimentary facies model of this period was built. In the east steep slope zone of basin, sediments transport in a short distance and develop alluvial fan on land and fan-delta, turbidite fan under water. In the west gentle slope zone of basin, braid river-braid river delta distal sedimentary system is formed because of the relatively far transportation distance of sediments.

Abstract: Dazhangtuo fault belt is the largest level Ⅱ fault system of Banqiao sag in the Huanghua depression. It exerts important effect on hydrocarbon distribution and accumulation within the sag. In order to reveal the relationship between the Dazhangtuo fault belt and Cenozonic hydrocarbon accumulation of Banqiao sag, the fault activity, fault structural styles and structural evolution characteristics were systematically researched using the oilfield structural analysis method. Based on comprehensive research of fault passage system and hydrocarbon distribution in two fault walls, the accumulation model of Dazhangtuo fault belt in the Banqiao sag were established. The results show that the Dazhangtuo fault, with vertical installment and planar piecewise activity characteristic, derived a large number of secondary faults. Five kinds of structure style can be identified in the fault belt, mainly including the "ladder" type, the "y" type, the composite "y" type, the "domino" type and the opponent tendency stretch type. The fault activities throughout the Tertiary sedimentary history and the structure evolution have obvious inheritance. The hydrocarbon migration and accumulation are obviously different in the two sets of faults, controlled by the different style of fault structure. And the hydrocarbon gathering units with different genetic types and different reserves abundance formed.

Abstract: Es3 subinterval is the main oil-bearing horizon of Wei95 block in Mazhai oilfield. Reservoir is very thick, genesis of sand is very complicated and consequently it is hard to cognize the facies zone. The article analyzed sedimentary characteristic and sedimentology pattern of Es3 low sub-member of Wei95 block. Under the guide of geology and sedimentology, we analyzed the color of mudstone of target zone, rock type and combination, fineness and structure characteristic comprehensively to study the deposition facies. It is concluded that fan-dealta subfacies distributed widely there and the source is from Neihuang uplift in the west. The subfacies is divided into 4 microfacies: underwater distributary channel, channel flanking, sheet sand and inter-channel and we summarized well-log respond mode of each type. From the single-well facies and planar facies of main sand group, we found that multistage fan-delta distributed from northwest to southeast and overlapped mutually. Underwater distributary channel and sheet sand took the majority. Based on the analysis of structure of target area, sedimentary mode of Wei95 block was summarized according to the source direction and distribution characteristic. The result could provide geological reference for further development of the oilfield.

Abstract: Although the discovery of volcanic gas reservoirs in the southern Songliao basin gained great breakthrough, the poor understanding of gas accumulation rules, compared with the exploration activity, may limit the further development of the deep gas reservoir in Jilin oilfield. Based on the quality and coupling relationship of source rock & reservoir, hydrocarbon migration system, gas reservoir characteristics, analysis on main controlling factors of gas accumulation, the distribution of remaining resources was predicted by summarizing the reservoir forming rules. Study shows that lower generating-upper reservoiring and side generating-side reservoiring types volcanic gas reservoirs was found in Yingtai fault depression. Lower generating-upper reservoiring type is mainly developed in the member 1 of Yingcheng formation in Datun area, and based largely on fault to penetrate source rock and reservoir, which control the distribution of gas reservoir. The side generating-side reservoiring type is mainly developed in Wukeshu area. The key to this kind of gas reservoir accumulation is whether the volcanic reservoir connects directly with side effective source rocks. It is easier to form gas reservoir in contact surface, for not only its large scale, but also its high richness. With the increasing of migration distance of the gas, the scale and richness is reduced gradually. Investigating hydrocarbon accumulation characteristics and main control factors among different kinds of volcanic gas reservoirs will contribute to recognize the distribution of volcanic reservoirs and remaining resources.

Abstract: The results of exploration available have showed that Chang8 interval in south of Ordos basin, possesses good exploration potentiality, and multi-port wells have obtained oil flow of industry at present. Analyzing petrological characteristics, physical properties, pore types and main control factors of sandy debris flow of Chang8 reservoir by varieties of methods, such as thin section, SEM, X-ray and CT scan, the results show that sandy debris flow have features that thickness of single layer is small, accumulative thickness is large and poor continuous laterally, not only can it produce alone, but overlapp with turbidity current. Lithic arkose sandstone's reservoir spaces are primarily inter-grain pores, followed by dissolved pores in grains and micropore, under condition of overburden pressure, its high permeability. Feldspar lithic sandstone's reservoir spaces are mainly micropores, then are dissolved pores in grains and inter-grain pores, in addition, throat close under the condition of overburden pressure, permeability decline sharply. Content of plastic rock and matrix are quite different in sandy debris flows, and plastic rock distortion during compaction is the key reason of sandstone densification. In summary, sedimentary environment is the key to the control of the formation of reservoir, compaction and cementation cause the densification, while dissolution and tectonism have main effect on the improvement of physical property.

Abstract: Based on the comprehensive analysis of core, physical properties, thin section, scanning electron microscopy, X diffraction and other test data, taking the Chang63gravity flow deposits as example, we studied the reservoir characteristics and its controlling factors, in order to figure out the genetic mechanism of ultra-low permeability reservoir. The results indicated that the reservoir is mainly arkose and debris-feldspar sandstone with typical ultra-low permeability; its reservoir spaces are mainly residual primary intergranular pore, followed by secondary solution pores. The reservoir is of poor physical property and strong heterogeneity, and the rock mineral components, sedimentary microfacies and diagenetic evolution are the controlling factors; Strong compaction, chlorite cementation, carbonate cementation and weak dissolution are the key elements leading to the low porosity and low permeability. According to their degree of influence on reservoir physical properties, the low permeability reservoir is divided into three genetic types, including carbonate cementation low permeability reservoir, chlorite cementation-dissolution low permeability reservoir and strong compaction low permeability reservoir. On this basis, in utilization of the porosity reversion method, this study established the densification process of each genetic mechanism and will provide a reliable geological basis for favorable reservoir prediction.

Abstract: Elaborate research of sedimentary system and facies has been taken in this analysis, combined with seismic, geology and well logging data. Tectonic background, sedimentary form, sedimentary scale, sedimentary structure and lithology feature from drilling cores are used to identify the sedimentary system. Well logging curves are tied with drilling cores carefully to build up curve models of different microfacies so as to distinguish facies along wells. Distinction of debris component between the middle area and the eastern research area and the distinct sedimentary facies distribution between middle and eastern part of Yuanba area are analyzed to set up the sedimentary pattern. All the above researches indicate the area is dominated by braided river delta rather than fan delta. Facies distribution and evolution reveal that the sedimentary center transported eastward and overall it displayed a trend of regression. The debris component of the middle area is dominated by carbonates while the eastern area is dominated by silicates. In addition, the middle and eastern part have access to different microfacies distribution. These two evident differences between the two parts prove that the deposition is controlled by two distinct sedimentary sources. Thus a bi-source sedimentary pattern should be set up in this area. Because of the prosperity of the fourth member of Xujiahe formation in Yuanba area, making clear its depositional features and facies is beneficial for gas exploration and develop.

Abstract: The Sinian Dengying formation of Anyue-Moxi region in the central of Sichuan has the characteristics of having big reservoir thickness and extensive distribution range, showing good exploration prospects. It is difficult to study in region because of the effect of multi-phase tectonic movement and mass denudation of strata. Through collecting and analyzing the core, slice in region, this paper probes into the rock type of Dengying formation reservoir and the characteristic of reservoir space. In addition, studying the physical characteristics of core in region, which reveals the development of reservoir in Sinian Dengying formation of Anyue-Moxi region in the central of Sichuan is controlled by sedimentary facies, tectonic movement and krastfication in paleocrust of weathering. Dissolution and later tectonism determine the reservoir performance, and the growth level of krastfication is the main controlling factor that affects the reservoirs' development in Anyue-Moxi region. The Anyue-Moxi region located between palaeokarst slope and palaeokarst upland, may or may not grow groove and buried platform, which benefits the development of reservoir and oil-gas accumulation, in palaeokarst slope.

Abstract: Low initial recovery factor and depleted bottom water supply of Tahe oilfield calls for urgent methods to improve sweep volume and to enhance oil recovery. According to the similarity theory, a three-dimensional fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoir model was developed based on the geological features and production performance of Tahe oilfield. Water injection methods were optimized and nitrogen flooding for EOR was conducted. Results show that among the three water injection methods, intermittent water injection and pulse water injection could achieve a similar oil recovery, 16.39% and 16.48% responsively, which were higher than that of constant water injection 14.05%. Since the total water injection volume of intermittent water injection was less than that of pulse water injection, the former was selected as the more effective water injection method for energy supplement. In addition, for the subsequent N2flooding, the incremental oil recovery of water alternating gas(WAG) flooding 25.92% which was higher than that of continuous nitrogen flooding 23.47%. These results could supply technical support for the high efficiency exploration of carbonate reservoir.

Abstract: In order to improve the prediction accuracy of the coalbed methane well(CBM) fracture pressure, the fracture pressure calculation formula of fractured formation is derived by fracture mechanics, the analytical model of fracture pressure in fractured formation is established based on fractal rock mechanics, and a practical calculation method for fracture pressure is obtained. The result shows that the wellbore would be more likely to be fractured along the direction of maximum horizontal stress under non-uniform in-situ stress. The analytical model has expression uniformity with the traditional model and a wider applicability. Coal fracture has fractal characteristics, the fractal effect enhances the ability of rock to hinder crack propagation, the greater the fractal dimension is, the smaller the similarity ratio and the greater the fracture pressure is. The influences of crack length on fracture pressure are different when the crack states are different, when the crack length is small, fracture pressure decreases rapidly with the increase of crack length. After the crack length increases to a certain value, fracture pressure of closed fracture increases with the increase of crack length, fracture pressure of open fracture decreases and tends to constant value with the increase of crack length. Example of 5 CBM wells in Zhengzhuang block shows that the error of this method is less than 10%, fracture pressure is very sensitive to crack length, a reasonable choice of crack length is particularly important to predict fracture pressure accurately.
