A New Method to Predict Favorable Gas-Rich Area in Tight Sandstone Gas Reservoir in Daniudi Area

Abstract

Daniudi gas field is a tight sandstone gas field in the northeast of Ordos Basin. How to use the successful experience in developing area to predict favorable gas-rich area in other areas in this gas field is very important to the next exploration and development in this field. This paper proposes a multi-information integrated method to predict favorable gas-rich area. Firstly describe sedimentary microfacies by integrating seismic, logging and geological information; and then summarize and analyze the seismic reflection patterns of medium-high productivity wells; finally determine the favorable gas-rich area with the distribution of storage coefficient based on the previous analysis. The welltest of newly drilled wells shows that the coincidence rate of favorable gas-rich area predicted by this method could be up to 90%,and this method could be extended to use in the other tight sandstone gas reservoirs.
