Abstract

In order to define a favorable oil and gas accumulation area, this study focused on reservoir recognition which is based on logging data of old wells. The Gaofengchang structure in eastern Sichuan is used as a test area to discuss the necessity and feasibility of curve construction by combining new and old wells. Analysis of the reasons for the inaccuracy of the traditional curve reconstruction method is also provided. Given the interdependence of the well log in the depth domain sample sequence, a new intelligent construction method (BI-LSTM) based on the cyclic neural network is proposed. A discussion on the effect of data increments on prediction accuracy is also provided. The following four conclusions were achieved through curve reconstruction experiments: a high-precision CNL pseudo-curve was obtained; an underdetermined equation in optimization logging interpretation method needed to be extended to a positive definite equation; the quantitative processing of the complex lithologic reservoir parameters for the old wells was realized; and the processing result of the lithology physical property were basically consistent with the core data. Therefore, the BI-LSTM proposed in this paper could improve the accuracy of logging curve construction and has a good promotion significance for the old well review.

Highlights

  • In 1963, the first oolitic beach gas reservoir of the Feixianguan Formation was discovered by well Ba-3 in the Shiyougou structure, eastern Sichuan, which was 4.26 × 104 m3/d in gas yield

  • Dozens of independent oolitic beach gas reservoirs of the Feixianguan Formation, Fuchengzhai, Jiannan, Huangcaoxia, Gaofengchang and other structures were discovered, which opened the prelude to the exploration of the oolitic beach gas reservoir in eastern Sichuan

  • The exploration of the Feixianguan Formation gas reservoir in the Sichuan Basin has been neglected for a long time

Summary

Introduction

In 1963, the first oolitic beach gas reservoir of the Feixianguan Formation was discovered by well Ba-3 in the Shiyougou structure, eastern Sichuan, which was 4.26 × 104 m3/d in gas yield. The exploration of the Feixianguan Formation gas reservoir in the Sichuan Basin has been neglected for a long time The causes of this phenomenon are the small scale of reserves, which is less than 500 million cubic meters, and the lithology of the gas reservoir which is composed mainly of micritic limestone and oolitic limestone. In 1995, with further exploration, 10 billion cubic meters of gas reservoir was discovered in the Feixianguan Formation oolitic beach of the Dukouhe structure, which wrote a new chapter of gas reservoir exploration in eastern Sichuan once again.
