The Integrative Establishment of a Three-Dimensional Structure Model of Changling Gas Field in Changling Fault Depression

Abstract

The three-dimensional (3D) geological modeling technique which is considered as an important skill of fine reservoir description has been gaining more and more attention. On one hand, it can efficiently promote the transformation of reservoir description from two-dimensional (2D) to 3D, and from qualification to quantification as well. The 3D reservoir geological model can be used as basic geological knowledge in terms of adjusting well patterns and indicating remaining oil distribution, through reflecting the spatial distribution characteristics and the variation of the reservoir physical property. On the other hand, the 3D modeling technique specializes in the representation of local micro features in comparison of regular ways. This article aims at subtly describing the structural modeling of Changling gas field of Changling fault depression. The result of this case study shows that the establishment of structural model is consistent with the understanding of fault development which was proved during the process of producing gas, thus the structural model has high reliability. Therefore, the structural model is of great guiding significance for the design of new well and the well patter optimization.
