Abstract
At present, the development of fault oil and gas reservoirs has become an important way for to increase oil and gas productivity in China. However, due to the complex internal stress state of rock faults, the phenomenon of oil and gas escape is prone to occur during the mining process, so it is of great significance to study the sealing mechanism of the rock fault. For this reason, based on the theory of fault sealing, rock physical simulation experiments of fault sealing were carried out, and the mechanism of fault sealing and its main controlling factors were deeply studied. The results show that the rock fault dip and the argillaceous content of the fault filling are the main controlling factors for fault sealing; The essence of fault lateral sealing and vertical sealing is the sealing of the displacement pressure difference; As the dip angle of the fault increases, the lateral sealing of the fault becomes better, while the vertical sealing becomes worse; with the increase of the argillaceous content of the fault filling, the lateral and vertical sealability of the fault becomes better.
