    In view of the problems of the strong heterogeneity in the formation of Z15 well field in western Tazhong,the
    buried depth of the main formation of interest over 5 000 meters,the bad quality of seismic data,and minor faults to be
    difficult to identify,and so on,we present the discrimination method for the minor fault interpretation to be easy to implement.
    Namely,amplitude on top of the Cambrian salt bed,twist on top of limestone bed,paternoster in the seismic section,and facies
    change of seismic lineup in carbonate inside. By these methods,the faults are described accurately in plane and section. The
    west-east direction overriding fault developed in middle and late Caledonian and transtension strike-slip fault developed in late
    Caledonian and early Hercynian is the main faults system in Z15 well field and controlling the distribution of formation and
    reservoir. Several wells drilled through fault in this well field prove that the fault and fracture developing area are favorable for
    high production well. Fault and fracture developing area are good to be drilled because of its well-developed formation,well
    conserved hydrocarbon and weak aquifer energy in Lianglitage group. This will break new ground for researches formation and
    reservoir related to fault. And it will also help to discover new oil and gas concentration area.

    Now,many of the prediction methods of development indexes are suitable for the middle-high permeability oilfield,
    which does not consider the effect of the starting pressure. In this paper,based on the model of the multilayered non-piston
    water flooding reservoirs,and considering the impact of the starting pressure,he calculating method of the development indexes
    in the constant flowrate production was derived. During commingling production,each layer of different permeability has
    different production pressure drop and low permeability layer shows bad fluid supply capacity due to the effect of starting pressure.
    A set of predicting method for constant flowrate production which can reflect the objective reality have been derived and
    verified with field examples. Results show that,due to the change of water and oil seepage resistance in commingling production,
    the production pressure drop decrease gradually,and the fluid production ratio of high permeability layer is increasingly
    greater,which intensifies interlayer interference. This method reflects accurately the characteristics of reservoir production.
    The feasibility of the method is confirmed theoretically and practically.

    A new generalized water drive curve proposed by Tong Xianzhang is of simple shape,and reflects different laws of
    water cut and it is easy to obtain its parameters. This water driving curve has played an important role in predicting oil production
    and recoverable reserves. On this basis,further studies were made and improved beta-water drive curves were derived according
    to the two-phase seepage theory. The improved water drive curves show that seepage characteristic determined the water drive
    curves. By using the improved water drive characteristic formula more accurate results can be obtained in geological reserves
    calculation. The improve water drive curve provides a new method for more accurate water-flooding reserves calculation in
    high water cut stage and has important practical significance to mine production pratice.

    The fractured sandstone reservoir has experienced strong compression structure deformation in deep zone of Kelasu tectonic zone. Complex current in-situ stress field and natural fracture system lead to strong heterogeneity and anisotropy of reservoir. There were obvious differences in gas well productivity between different structures and at different locations of the same structure. In order to clarify the main controlling geological factors affecting the development of natural gas in this area, the research on reservoir geomechanical modeling of Keshen Gas Field was carried out based on the evaluation of 1 D geomechanical parameters and the construction of structural framework. The rock mechanics properties, present in-situ stress field and development characteristics of natural fractures of reservoirs in several structural belts of Keshen Gas Field are analyzed in depth. The geomechanical characteristics of reservoirs in different structural belts, different parts of the same structural belt and different horizons are summarized respectively. Combining with the development status of typical wells in Keshen Gas Field, the relationship between geomechanical characteristics and productivity is established. Finally, the matching well distribution principles are proposed for different types of gas reservoirs. It is shown that: (1) the distribution characteristics of in-situ stress field in different structural types of gas reservoirs are quite different, and the relationship between stress orientation and natural fracture occurrence is also distinctly different; (2) geomechanical properties of reservoirs in gas reservoirs show selfstratification characteristics, which directly affect the distribution of reservoir porosity and permeability; and (3) gas reservoirs are located in low stress value, small angle between fracture strike and horizontal principal stress orientation, good permeability and higher productivity of single well. The research not only provides a useful supplement for reservoir evaluation and gas reservoir description, but also promotes well location optimization of development plan.

    For imperfect CO 2-crude oil system at high temperature and high pressure, the existing state equation cannot give consideration to the requirement of accuracy and simplicity of calculation simultaneously. In order to obtain practical state equation for CO 2-crude oil system, influence factors such as temperature, pressure and the interaction of non-hydrocarbons components have been taken into account, Based on the principle of thermodynamics and flash calculation, parameters of PR EOS have been corrected, and the dimensionless coefficient has been changed from previous constant coefficient to function item which is associated with reduced temperature, thus prediction for density of liquid and characteristics of heavy components have been improved. Based on the data of components measured on site, the calculation accuracy of oil and gas components before and after PR EOS correction have been compared under condition of reservoir temperature and pressure. The results show that without sacrificing the simplicity of calculation, the new state equation has been improved significantly with calculation accuracy, and relative error of parameter has been reduced to less than 5%, which meets the requirements of engineering application and has better practical value in simulating and predicting fluid phase states under reservoir conditions and provides support for numerical simulation of CO 2 flooding.

    In recent years, the pre-salt sequence of Santos Basin is the focused exploration area, but CO 2 is generally found in the pre-salt oil fields. After analysis of CO 2 content, carbon isotope and helium isotope, the generation type of CO 2 in Santos basin pre-salt layers is inorganic mantel. Based on generation type and the comprehensive analysis of the correlation of CO 2 content with basement faults distribution, we found that fields closed to faults are generally high in CO 2 content. Meanwhile, the analysis of generation factors and accumulation elements of CO 2 in the typical fields displays that volcano activities and basement faults are the controlling factors for the accumulated CO 2 gas cap. And the volcano provides CO 2 source, faults acting as migration pathways. Affected by a large amount of inflow of continuous CO 2, evaporation and diffluence occurred in oil and gas composition and generated gas cap of high CO 2 content.

    WANG Weidong, PENG Jun, XIA Qingsong, DUAN Guanyi, SUN Enhui
    西南石油大学学报(自然科学版)    2020, 42 (4): 13-21.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2019.03.04.06

    The aim of this study was to clarify the characteristics and major factors controlling the formation and development of bioclastic limestone reservoirs in the lake facies of the Da'anzhai Member in Northern Sichuan, and to search for favorable reservoir development zones. Through drilling core description, thin slice identification, scanning electron microscope observation and test analysis, we performed a study on the sedimentology and reservoir characteristics in the area. According to our findings, the Da'anzhai Member in Northern Sichuan Basin is a shallow-lake-semi-deep-lake facies deposit. In the shallow-lake subfacies develops the bioclastic beaches, inter-beach depressions, and shallow-lake mud micro-facies, whereas in the semi-deep lake subfacies develops the beachfront lake slope and semi-deep lake mud micro-facies. Dominated by bioclastic limestone the reservoir is poor overall physical properties and is characteristic of ultra-low porosity and ultra-low permeability with average porosity of 1.18%, permeability less than 1 mD. The types of reservoir space are mainly corrosion pores, holes, and cracks. The predominant reservoir type is pore-fractured, while fracture-porosity reservoirs and fracture-type reservoirs also developed in the study area. Based on the results and analyses, the factors controlling the development of lake-facies bioclastic limestone reservoirs are discussed. We believe that favorable sedimentary facies belts, constructive diagenesis, and the fracture system control the development of reservoirs in the Da'anzhai Member. Finally, we propose a targeted reservoir prediction method based on the stratigraphic characteristics of each layer in the Da'anzhai Member.

    Researches on translational point bars, which are the main structural units in meandering river sediment, is inadequate lagging. This paper summarizes the formation mechanism and sedimentary characteristics of translational point bars through literature analysis and modern sedimentary observation. Studies have shown that an incised valley in the lowstand period and the limiting conditions of synsedimentary faults are the basis for the development of translational point bars. According to the variations in plane shape, a translational point bar can be divided into two parts: the point bar body and the point bar tail. The point bar body is mainly composed of coarse-grained sediments, and along the direction of water flow, the sediment preservation increases while granularity gradually decreases. Two different modes of point bar tail deposition can be formed, depending on the angle at which the water flow hits the outer bank: counter-point-bar, mainly composed of fine-grained sediments, and eddyaccretion deposits, mainly composed of coarse-grained sediments. By establishing a three-dimensional (3D) lithofacies model, we further clarified the distribution range of the lateral mud interlayer and the thickness of the sand body in the translational point bar. The sand body in the point bar body was characterized by good connectivity and great thickness, whereas the sand body in the point bar tail was poorly connected and relatively thin.

    Due to long term washing of water injection in the complex fault block reservoirs, the distribution of reservoir flow field would be more and more complicated and it results in forming different types of reservoir flow field with different intensities. In regions of high intensity of reservoir flow field, invalid water injection is very serious. But water injection cannot reached the regions of low intensity easily. It results in a poor efficiency of reservoir development and makes it hard to adjust reservoir development. Due to the above reasons, taking a case Block Zao Z of the first member of the Kongnan, Cangdong Sag, south of Huanghua Depression, the simulation model was modeled to study quantitatively reservoir flow field at high water cut stage. According to the influence on reservoir flow field, the primary characterization parameters were selected from some static and dynamic parameters, including permeability, pressure gradient, oil saturation and surface flux. A calculation model of intensity of reservoir flow field was proposed by the theory of fuzzy mathematics. The ranges of different types of reservoir flow field were determined on the study reservoir. And then technical strategies of reservoir flow field adjustment were given in different types of reservoir flow field. The implement results of flow field adjustment of the study reservoir show that the characterization method of reservoir flow field could be applied to a correct understanding of the characteristic of reservoir flow filed at high water cut stage. It is helpful to guide to adjust layer series and well groups and to improve effect of reservoir development.

    Drilling tools failure of occurs frequently in the process of ultra-deep well drilling. Therefore, the research on the dynamic characteristics of drilling string plays an important role in the safety of drilling tools. Considering the influence of the real well trajectory, the interaction between bit and formation, the contact between drilling string and borehole wall and the viscous effect of drilling fluid, a simulation model of the whole well drilling string with dynamic characteristics is established. Under different WOB and rotation speed, the changes of axial force, torque, displacement and equivalent stress over time are simulated. The fourth strength theory is used to calculate the assurance coefficient of the wellhead drilling tools and check the strength of the drilling tools in ultra-deep horizontal wells. The results show that the wellhead axial force and equivalent stress display a characteristics of low-frequency change, while the equivalent stress and acceleration at MWD are high-frequency vibration, and the lateral vibration is more severe than the axial vibration; when WOB and rotation speed are small, WOB and rotation speed have little influence on the wellhead axial load, torque, equivalent stress and assurance coefficient; the equivalent stress at MWD increases with the increase of WOB, and the amplitude of lateral acceleration increases significantly with the increase of rotation speed. When the well depth is more than 8 000 m, the hole size is φ120.65mm, and G105 φ114.3 mm drill pipe is used at the wellhead, the wellhead assurance coefficient obtained from dynamic analysis will fluctuate around 1.2, so generally the drilling tool is safe.

    Tectonic Stress is Not the Main Driving Force for Primary Migration of Oil and Gas
    LUO Chuan, YANG Hu
    西南石油大学学报(自然科学版)    2020, 42 (4): 104-110.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2019.06.10.02

    The primary migration of oil and gas is an unsolved academic problem. In the field of petroleum geology, structural stress is considered to be one of the main driving forces for the primary migration of oil and gas. According to the theory of effective stress and elastic mechanics, the influence of structural stress on pore pressure is analyzed. The calculation model of pore pressure increment and the calculation model of oil-gas migration scale driven by pore pressure release are established. Theoretical analysis and quantitative calculation results show that under the same structural stress condition, the increment of pore pressure of source rock is mainly affected by Young's modulus. The larger the Young's modulus is, the smaller the increment of pore pressure is; the increment of pore pressure caused by structural stress is generally not more than 60 MPa; the release of pore pressure only needs to discharge a small amount of formation fluid, and the distance to drive oil and gas migration is very short, relatively because the thickness of source rock is negligible, and the influence of structural stress on the primary migration of oil and gas is very weak, which can not be the main driving force of the primary migration.

    The gas reservoir pressure in Ledong X Area of the western South China Sea is up to 100 MPa and permeability is as low as 0.1 mD. The binomial productivity equation slope obtained from the productivity test regression of such high pressure and low permeability gas wells is often negative, and the real productivity cannot be obtained. The production binomial's slope of high pressure and low permeability is always negative which results in failure to get real capacity. The gas well testing process is analyzed and the material balance model within the effective supply range is established and solved. It is considered that except the first level system, the formation pressure changes with the output and time, and the lower the permeability of the formation, the greater the pressure change. The traditional binomial method does not consider the formation pressure change is the main reason for the negative slope of regression. Taking into account the formation pressure drop in the effective supply range during the test, the new binomial equation of deliverability and the expression of unobstructed flow are obtained by regression. It is considered that the unobstructed flow in the gas well is related to the original formation pressure, test conditions and formation physical properties. The correction of the binomial production equation of six high pressure and low permeability wells, such as LDX-5-A, has successfully solved the production capacity anomalies in this type of wells, provided a basis for rational development of gas fields in the next step and a solution to the abnormal capacity correction of such high pressure and low permeability gas wells.

    To determine the controlling factors of oil enrichment in the Upper Wilcox Formation of Perdido Belt, the commercial and non-commercial fields of the Upper Wilcox are taken as the research objects. This study integrates the analysis of effective hydrocarbon supply range, oil and gas transmission mode, matching relationship between trap formation and hydrocarbon generation and expulsion period and preservation conditions. The study discusses the controlling factors of oil and gas enrichment in Wilcox Formation and petroleum accumulation model. The study shows that the scale of hydrocarbon supply area has obvious control effect on field scale; there are three vertical migration modes in the Upper Wilcox Formation, i.e. along-source, toward-source and back-source. Among them, along-source and toward-source migration modes are advantageous. Trap formation and hydrocarbon generation-expulsion period match well, hydrocarbon supply is sufficient and reservoir scale is large; It is a necessary condition for oil enrichment and a small scale of seriously damaged reservoirs. Three accumulation models of Upper Wilcox Formation in Perdido Belt are established, among which“ double supply along-source” and“ single supply toward-source” are favorable for oil enrichment and are favorable models for searching large size fields in Perdido Belt.

    西南石油大学学报(自然科学版)    2020, 42 (4): 95-103.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2019.09.18.02

    Diffusion coefficient is an important parameter for studying the mechanism of enhanced recovery by gas injection and numerical simulation. In this paper, pressure decay method is utilized to determine the N 2 diffusion coefficient under the condition of high temperature and high pressure in Tahe Oilfield. Not only the effects of oil viscosity and gas composition on N 2 diffusion coefficient in the bulk oil phase are analyzed, but the determination and comparison of N 2 diffusion coefficient in different filling model of fracture-cave carbonate reservoirs of Tahe Oilfield are studied. The solubility and diffusion coefficient of nitrogen in heavy oil are lower than in light oil, but more sensitive to pressure variation than in light oil. The mixing of CO 2 contributes the diffusion process. Diffusion results of nitrogen in the breccia, silt and tight media show that the tighter the filling model is, the more difficult it is for nitrogen to diffuse into the filling medium. The diffusion coefficient of nitrogen in the tight medium reaches the order of magnitude of solid diffusion coefficient (×10 -11 m 2/s). Besides, the rise of water saturation in the filling medium also retards the diffusion process of nitrogen in the filling medium. This paper presents the N 2 diffusion coefficient in bulk oil phase and filling model of fracture-cave carbonate reservoirs under condition of high temperature and high pressure conditions (temperature >100 ℃, pressure >20 MPa) for the first time, and analyzes the related influencing factors. The results furthers understanding of EOR mechanism of gas injection, and offers strategic insights for field application of nitrogen injection.

    The study aimed at the contradiction between the strength of sand consolidation and the retention rate of formation permeability. Phosphate modified furan resin sand consolidation agent was prepared by hydroxyl polycondensation with phosphate, polyether (L35) and furan resin as main raw materials, and it was used as sand consolidation agent after dilution with water on ratio 1: 3. On the one hand, water was used as natural pore increasing agent, on the other hand, sand consolidation agent film was formed and solidified in water environment, which guaranteed compressive strength and high formation permeability. It effectively solves the difficult problem that puzzles the sand consolidation effect of chemical method for a long time. The results show that the phosphate modified furan resin can be consolidated at 60 ℃ for 48 h after dilute with water for 3 times. The compressive strength is above 4 MPa. It is suitable for sand consolidation in underwater environment of oil field. By March 2019, phosphate modified furan resin sand consolidation agent had been used in 10 wells in oilfield, with a 100% success rate of sand control and acumulative oil increase of 13 000 t. It has obtained the good effect in the practical application.

    In order to accurately describe the superposition relationship between individual water channels within the sand body of deep-water turbidite composite channels, we made a quantitative study on Reservoir Z in the AKPO Oilfield in the Niger Basin. The study showed that the various stacking relationships between single sand bodies in deep-water turbidite reservoirs can be quantitatively characterized by the “stacking ratio” parameter. This parameter can be further divided into a vertical stacking ratio and a lateral stacking ratio. There is a certain correlation between the stacking ratio of sand bodies of an individual channel and the camber curvature of the composite channel. In addition, the channel curvature is highly correlated with geological factors such as the slope of the basin and material resource supply. The stacking ratio of sand bodies of an individual channel is correlated to the interior connectivity of the composite sand body, and can be used as a reference for judging the internal connectivity of the reservoir when combined with the ”connectivity coefficient”. This study found that the stacking ratio is an important link. It can be used to build a mathematical connection between the stacking pattern and the morphology of sand bodies, with reservoir connectivity and development effect. It is one of the most effective means of fine characterization and digitization research of deep-water turbidite sand bodies.

    In order to clarify the basin deformation caused by multi-period tectonic overlap in Fangzheng Fault Depression, the complex structural styles in the fault depression and the problems of multi-solution in structural analysis, we combine the analysis of seismic data, regional tectonic characteristics and Tanlu Fault evolution with the analysis of extensional, strike-slip pull-apart, strike-slip compression and later uplift-denudation of Fangzheng Fault Depression. New understanding and methods are put forward for structural analysis, and a three-dimensional stress model of extension-strike-slip-compression in Fangzheng fault depression is established. The study shows that the western part of the fault depression is weakly reformed and inherits the extension model of the Cretaceous basin in the early stage of the fault depression. The compression-nappe reformation in the eastern part of the fault depression is strong in the later stage, and the extension model is no longer applicable. The influence of thrust-nappe structure must be considered. The developed Yihantong Fault has obvious strike-slip characteristics and floral structure. The east and west sides of the Yihantong fault are characterized by asymmetric differential strike-slip fault depression. The strike-slip model is applied to the analysis of both sides of the Yihantong fault. Therefore, the extension model can not be used to analyze the multi-structural superimposed fault basin, but the later transformation model should be considered, and on this basis, a set of structural analysis method for complex faulted basins has been found.

    In the casing lowering process, it is difficult or even unable to reach the expected well depth due to complex wellbore structures, complex wellbore trajectories and well diameter changes. Intending to solve this problem, a simulation study on buckling friction resistance of casing uplift and flushing in three-dimensional complex well is carried out. Based on the theory of additional friction in helical buckling sleeves, a three-dimensional finite element model of the“ up-and-push” operation of a complex wellbore casing was established based on the actual operating parameters of Well H by ABAQUS. The model was used to analyze the casing stress and buckling deformation of the whole well section. The results of analysis show that the axial force of the casing in the vertical well section of Well H at the moment of flushing and releasing and after free stabilization is greater than its helical buckling critical load, there was severe helical buckling deformation in the section between the well depth of 2 000 m and the deflection point, the lower casing is unable to transmit power and has difficulty in lowering. It reveals the mechanism of this kind of three-dimensional complex wellbore casing down-diffusion, which is of great significance for the research on buckling morphological damage and failure of complex wellbore casing strings.

    In view of the high investment and risk and uncertainties in drilling operation,the safety evaluation about the
    drilling operation is carried out in the paper. The method of evaluating risk and seeking risk resource during drilling operation
    has been developed by using Bayes network. The 32 risk factors during the drilling operation could be classified into manmade
    risk factors and natural risk factors by analyzing the history data and identifying the dangerous factors with the help of
    expertise. The Bayes network topological structure and conditional probability table(CPT)was developed for drilling operation
    risk;the probability was predicted forward and diagnosed backward;the safety probability of drilling operation was evaluated
    quantitative and the most dangerous factor was found out. After applying the Bayes network model to Well L gas drilling
    operation,we got the risk probability of man-made risk and natural risk at 0.108 and 0.165,respectively,the risk probability
    of Well L gas drilling operation at 0.137. The many dangerous factors are defects in monitor during the drilling process,lack of
    security protection facilities,hidden trouble induced by drilling operation,defect in well-control equipment and management
    in production. This will provide precise diagnostic data for operators and decision-making for safe production.

    西南石油大学学报(自然科学版)    2020, 42 (4): 155-164.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2019.01.03.01

    Trailing oil is the tail section of contamination in oil pipelines. It is generated in batch transportation, and it has an effect on the quality of oil. In the dead-leg section, the main reasons for the formation of trailing oil contamination is the outflow of the preceding batch that remains in the dead-legs. The traditional calculation formula of oil mixing does not consider the influence of trailing oil. The Reynolds time-averaged method is used to simulate turbulence. To obtain contamination-related experimental data, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is used to simulate different flow rates and bypass lengths. The oil replacement rate in a dead-leg is exponentially related to the flow speed and the length of the dead-leg is exponentially related to the replacement time of the oil. To reduce the amount of contamination, the main flow speed should be kept at about 1.6 m/s, and the length of the dead-leg should be less than five times the diameter of the main pipe. The MATLAB software was used to perform multi-nonlinear regression for the oil substitution time, the length of the dead-leg, and the flow speed to calculate the contamination length. A modified equation for calculating the length of the contamination was obtained by combining the Austin-Palfery equation with new factors. Using engineering data, the contamination predicted by the corrected equation is closer to the actual contamination than that predicted by other equations.

    Taking the braided river deltas of the Q6 Block in the Kunbei Oilfield in the Qaidam Basin as an example, this study investigated methods to model the architecture of thin interbedded reservoir sandstones. Traditional methods are based on the relatively maximum values of natural gamma measurements and (or) positive spontaneous potential abnormalities to determine the boundaries of sub-layers. Meanwhile, the sub-layer division based on the tangent points of reflected and diffracted wavefronts can more accurately depict the thickness and depth of reservoir layers, insulating layers, and interlayers. The interlayers in the study area are dominated by localized mudstones. Hence, two parameters, the thickness of low-permeability layers and permeability return level, were adopted to identify the interlayers. This enhanced the model accuracy. Because the braided river deltas were under the hydrodynamic control of both river and lake waves and the strata are characterized by thin interbedded low-inclination sand-mudstones, this study proposes that strict data control, hierarchical modeling and reservoir layer/interlayer nesting should be included to construct an architectural model of the thin interbedded deposits. Subsequently, an architectural model for the braided river deltas of the Q6 Block in the Kunbei region was established. Analysis of the relationships between the architectural units of the model shows that there are four types of architecture in the target layers. They are lateral stitching, lateral separation, progradation, and accretion. Among them, the lateral stitching and vertical accretion modes of the sand bodies are the most developed. Compared to the traditional modeling method, the proposed method is more advantageous and sensible for thin interbedded deposits.

    There are great deference between the short cracks' and the long cracks' propagation, the short cracks' propagation are visible as the behavior of cracks in group with the action of stress, there are not only propagation of cracks, but interaction between the neighbor cracks and the combination in neighbor cracks on the basis of propagation, which results in the formation of leading cracks, but the long cracks' propagation performance as the individual behavior of crack. The cracks and defects that are caused during the process of pipe making, transportation and laying are the reason of "Pressure Reversal", and the cracks' propagation and the combination lead to pipe "Pressure Reversal". The "Pressure Reversal" is analyzed with the theory of cracks propagation of fracture mechanics and corresponding protection measures put forward.

    Aiming at the problem of rock skeleton loosening caused by acidification with conventional fluorinated acid fluid system in offshore unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs, and containing the characteristics of acidification of immobile string in offshore oilfield injection wells and direct conversion of residual acid to normal water injection after acidification, a chelating acid blocking removal system with low corrosion and precipitation under surface conditions is developed. Taking the injection well in Block X of Bohai Oilfield as an example, the causes of poor injection capacity and the effect of plugging removal are analyzed. The results show that the chelating acid blocking removal system has good retardation, corrosion inhibition, scale inhibition, and medium corrosion ability. It can effectively increase the acid action distance, ensure the safety of water injection pipe string, avoid causing rock skeleton loosening and restrain secondary and tertiary precipitation, and effectively relieve the damage of inorganic substances and polymers. The main reasons for poor injection capacity in Block X are the formation plugging by multi-component complex formed by hydration expansion of clay minerals, particle migration, suspended particles, scaling and polymer. The apparent water absorption index of single well increased by more than 65.4% in field application, and the chelating acid blocking removal effect was remarkable, which could be popularized and applied in similar oilfields.

    Offshore reservoirs are generally exploited without energy supplement, and reservoir pressure depletion will cause rock stress changes which results in an increasing likelihood of serious sand production in the unconsolidated sandstone reservoir. This paper aims at offshore unconsolidated sandstone gas reservoirs, analyzes rock stresses of the borehole wall with impact of reservoir pressure depletion on in-situ stresses. Combining with fully-polyaxial rock failure criterion Mogi-Coulomb, a new sanding Critical Drawdown Pressure (CDP) calculating model. Furthermore, an applicable sanding prediction method for pressure depleted gas reservoir in well whole life cycle is proposed. The model was applied in F gas reservoir, the chart of sanding CDP for Well F-1 in the whole production life cycle is plotted. The research results indicate:initially, the sanding CDP is relatively large; with formation pressure depletion, CDP is reduced step by step until depleted to the critical reservoir pressure, and sand will be produced no matter how small the drawdown is. The research outcomes are consistent with actual oilfield production situation, which can provide some theoretical supports for sand production gas wells.

    The multi-fracturing horizontal well with tighter clusters is an effective means of developing shale oil reservoirs. Fracture spacing and well spacing are key parameters in the tight cluster hydraulic fracturing design. A discrete fracture network numerical model based on Comsol software is established, simulating multi-fractured reservoir with tighter clusters. The effects of fracture spacing, well spacing and fracture complexity on the stimulation effectiveness are discussed. The results show that, for the target reservoir, the cumulative production of a single well can increase to about 1.63 times by decreasing fracture spacing from 30 m to 10 m. The cumulative production of the target reservoir can increase about 51.17% by decreasing the well spacing from 400 m to 200 m. The 90 d cumulative production of a single well with complex fracture is 39.80% higher than that with simple rectangular fracture. Tight cluster hydraulic fracturing field experiments show that artificial fractures have non-uniform filling characteristics. Fractures characterized by equivalent refining methods can't reflect such characteristics. Therefore, the effects of the remote unpropped fracture on the stimulation effectiveness are also discussed. The effects of the remote unpropped fracture on the annual cumulative production of a single is about 4.38%. Field experiment shows that the multi-fractured horizontal well with tighter clusters could improve the single well production effectively by 79.70%.

    NMR has unique advantages in pore structure evaluation and fluid identification, but NMR signals are easy to be influenced by noise. This paper presents a kind of denoising method according to time and frequency domain characteristics of NMR noise based on EMD. Firstly we decompose noise and noisy NMR signals using EMD. Then we determine guidelines of signal-noise separation using curve trend method and improved zero-crossing rate curve. Finally we add useful signals to residual term to obtain pure signals. It is confirmed by core data and logging data experiments that the denosing results are better than wavelet threshold and EMD-wavelet threshold method and porosity calculated is closer to real porosity and the inversion results are consistent with actual pore structure. The denosing method based on EMD can improve signal to noise ratio and reserve pore structure information.

    The micro-amplitude structure is a remaining oil-enriched area that has not been affected by water injection in oilfield development. The micro-amplitude structure in X105 Block is well-developed. Because of its small scale, it is difficult to identify with seismic data. In order to improve the accuracy of micro-amplitude structure recognition, the author of this paper conducts technical research on three aspects to improve the accuracy of basic data. The first is to develop high-fidelity processing of seismic amplitude by improving the imaging precision of micro-amplitude structure. The second is to innovate the method of horizon interpretation of phase-constraints, which improves the interpretation accuracy of the top interface of sandstone formations. Thirdly, "contradiction between deep and shallow stratum" and other well-quake matching relationships are used to screen the micro-magnitude structure and eliminate the false. The above methods can be used to re-recognize the characteristics of the micro-amplitude structural development and guide the development of remaining oil.

    Relationship Between the Shear Effect of the Flowability and Composition of Typical Crude Oils

    In order to reveal the intrinsic effect mechanism of shear (including strong pump shear and weak pipeline shear) on the flowability of the crude oil modified with pour point depressant, and to provide decision-making basis for new pipeline construction and pipeline safe operation, crude oil components, wax structure and wax crystal morphology of the five kinds of crude oil are analyzed by GC, 1H-NMR, DSC and polarization microscope and effect of pump strong shear and pipeline weak shear on the flowability of the five kinds of crude oil modified with pour point depressant are evaluated by the simulation experimental method reported. It is found that only a very small amount of wax crystals precipitate from the crude oil above the wax appearance temperature, the shear has little effect on the wax crystal structure and does not influence the flowability of the crude oil modified with pour point depressant. In the range of the wax appearance peak temperature, there are a large number of wax crystals in crude oil, the strong pump shear can deteriorate the flowability of the crude oil modified with pour point depressant, and deterioration degree is related to the crude oil composition (wax content, resin content, asphaltene content) and wax structure (carbon number distribution of wax, branched-chain degree of wax); the weak pipeline shear can improve the flowability of some crude oil but also can deteriorate the flowability of other crude oil, which is related to crude oil composition and wax structure. The main reason for the above-mentioned phenomenon is that the shear has a great influence on the wax crystal structure and the wax crystal growth at the wax appearance temperature range.

Based on the outcrop of Dengying Formation at Luchi section, Zhenba Area, this paper carries out a detailed study of the sedimentary microfacies. Furthermore, combined with microscopic characteristics, the sedimentary characteristics and genesis of eight types of rocks are sorted out and explained. These rock types include micritic dolostones, residual dolarenite, stromatolite dolostones, thrombolite dolostones, microbe-bonded dolarenite, argillaceous siltstone, argillaceous dolostones and (dolomite-bearing) siliceous rock. The sedimentary environment of Dengying Formation in the study area is open carbonate platform, which has experienced two transgression-regressive cycles.The carbon and oxygen isotope and trace element data indicate that the sedimentary paleoenvironment during deposition of Dengying Formation changed dramatically. On the whole, the deposition period of the Dengying Formation is roughly featured with the decreasement of seawater salinity, increasement of seawater temperature and gradual increasement of oxygen content, but the environmental fluctuations may exist.

    Compared with traditional geological steering drilling, automatic seeker drilling is capable of automatic seeker information collection, which is the goal that drilling operators have been pursuing. The automatic navigation technology mainly includes several processes, such as formation prediction around wells and three-dimensional visualization, navigation model construction, automatic identification of stratigraphic boundary, and formation characteristics, automatic identification of highquality reservoirs and automatic optimization of trajectory. The first three processes consist of the construction of visual navigation stratum model, which can be used to make macroscopic prediction and indication of the location and ductility of oil and gas enrichment target stratum; automatic identification of stratigraphic boundary, real-time automatic analysis of stratum characteristics and automatic identification of high-quality formation for precise prediction of the boundary position of stratum near drill bit, and to provide real-time lithology, physical properties and oil-bearing property of stratum, so as to accurately determine the drilling side; the automatic trajectory optimization used for automatic plan for the next drilling plan. The implementation of this technology requires the combination of near-bit gamma-ray and far-detection resistivity instruments. The technology has been applied successfully, and the navigation model formed is basically consistent with the actual drilling strata. The application results show that the downhole visual automatic seeker drilling technology provides a new technical means for high-speed drilling construction and improving the drilling rate of high-quality reservoirs.

    In order to explain the unloading effect of vortex tools, it is necessary to establish a gas-liquid two-phase flow model in accordance with its flow law. Considering the existence of angular velocity in vortex flow, this research adopts the radial and circumferential momentum and angular momentum balance of gas-liquid flow, the governing equation of gas-liquid flow and the parameters such as liquid film thickness, gas-liquid vortex intensity and pressure drop gradient are obtained. The vortex flow experiments are conducted to verify the model. The results of model calculation and experiment show that the pressure drop of gas-liquid flow can be reduced by 5%~20% after the vortex tool, and the mechanism of reducing pressure drop loss by vortex tools is also given. According to experiments and models, it can be concluded that small vortex angle and high vortex intensity tend to reduce pressure drop at low velocity(gas velocity is less than 13 m/s), while high vortex intensity increases additional friction resistance at high velocity(gas velocity is faster than 16 m/s). The decay rate of vortex intensity decreases with the rise of liquid phase velocity and increases with the rise of gas phase velocity. Therefore, based on the research, vortex tools can be optimized to achieve the best liquid unloading effect.

    In the cementing of oil and natural gas wells "short-term gas migration" is usually happened during the liquid-solid transition stage of the cement slurry. Understanding the process of cement hydration during this stage is the key to study the mechanism of "short-term gas migration". And electrical conductivity is one of effective method to investigate the hydration degree and microstructure of cement slurry. Therefore, the conductivity measurement instrument was applied to investigate the effects of the stability, hydration rate of the cement slurry on its electrical conductivity. Meanwhile, combining the principle of mass conservation and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR), the relationship between the water states and electrical conductivity of the cement slurry was investigated. The experimental results showed that the initial electrical conductivity of the cement slurry was determined by the concentration of the pore solution and pore structure in the cement slurry. And the pore structure distribution was more uniformed with increasing stability of the cement slurry, which increases the initial electrical conductivity of the cement slurry from 16.8 mS/cm to 19.4 mS/cm. Moreover, with hydration degree increases a large amount of hydration products form on the surface of cement particles and in pores to change the solid-phase microstructure and pore structure of the cement slurry. It made the free water distributed in large pores change to capillary water or gel water in small pores. Finally, the experimental results show that it can be seen that the electrical conductivity is proportional to the content of free water, evaporable water in the cement slurry.

    In order to study the causes of differential enrichment of oil and gas in Lüda 16 Oilfield, we identified the convergence ridge of oil source fracture and evaluated their transporting capacity, and explored the controling effect of the convergence ridges of fault on the distribution of oil and gas by means of three-dimensional seismic, curvature property of faults and threedimensional thermal history simulation etc. The results show there are 10 convergence ridges developing in oil source faults in the study area. The transport abilities of converging ridges differ noticeable due to by the coupling of bending degree, matching relationship between activity and source rock and strike-slip tectonic stress. The comparison of drilling results shows that the convergence ridge of fault has obvious control effect on hydrocarbon accumulation:(1) converging ridges of faults control the shallow hydrocarbon distribution; (2) the transport ability of converging ridges control hydrocarbon enrichment degree of fault blocks. The study of convergence ridges of faults has important guiding significance for oil and gas exploration in complex fault block areas. The study can provide technical support and theoretical reference for the optimization of high-abundance fault blocks in complex fault areas.

    CO 2 flooding is an effective method for improving the develop effect of low-permeability reservoir. Sinopec East China Oil and Gas Field has been conducting field experiments in North Jiangsu low-permeability reservoir for 30 years. According to the experience, the current gas injecting blocks are divided into 4 types based on different reservoir characteristics and injecting periods. This paper elaborates the corresponding developing mode for each type of block. Among them, synchronizing injection is suitable for low-permeability reservoirs which are deep and water-sensitive; injection after exhaustion can substantially raise the single well deliverability of high-inclination-angle low-permeability reservoirs which are thin and steadily spreaded; the water-convert-gas injection is suitable for reservoirs with medium-high water cut after water injection; the secondary gas injection development mode is suitable for the low-permeability reservoir which is injected again after gas injection development. The recovery can be increased again by controlling gas channeling through the comprehensive adjustment of development series, injection production structure, injection mode and injection profile. The researching result has a reference significance for choosing CO 2 flooding mode in low-permeability reservoirs.

    This study takes the Carboniferous Donghe sandstone reservoir in the Donghe 1 Oilfield in the Tarim Basin as an example in geological modeling. It starts with a detailed single-well identification of interlayers and stratigraphic comparison of wells and employs a geological knowledge base for interlayers as well as test and dynamic data of cores to construct a three-dimensional geological model for the interlayers. It is believed that, by improving the division contrasts between the stratigraphic layers, the spatial distributions of the interlayers between and within the stratigraphic layers can be examined based on existing geological knowledge. Deterministic modeling is employed to place the spatial distributions of interlayers into the geological model. As a result, accurate three-dimensional spatial relationships between the interlayers and reservoir layers are obtained. Test data of interlayer core samples are used to establish an explanatory model for their physical properties. The explanatory results for porosity and permeability are adopted as inputs to create an interlayer property model. Thus, the results better reflected the actual underground conditions. Subsequent numerical simulation using tens of million grids demonstrates that geological modeling of reservoir interlayers in thick marine sandstones by integrating the geological knowledge base as in this study and numerical simulation with the geological model can yield satisfactory results.
