Abstract
The Ordos Basin has abundant resources in its tight sandstone reservoirs, and the use of well logging technology stands out as a critical element in the exploration and development of these reservoirs. Unlike conventional reservoirs, the commonly used interpretation models are not ideal for evaluating tight sandstone reservoirs through logging. In order to accurately evaluate parameters and identify fluid properties in the tight sandstone reservoirs of the Ordos Basin, we propose the adaption of conventional logging curves. This involves establishing an interpretation model that integrates the response characteristics of logging curves to tight sandstone reservoirs in accordance with the principles of logging. In this approach, we create interpretation models specifically for shale content, porosity, permeability, and saturation within the tight sandstone reservoir. Using the characteristics of the logging curves and their responses, we apply a mathematical relationship to link these parameters and create a template for identifying fluid properties within tight sandstone reservoirs. The average absolute errors of the new multi-parameter weighting method shale content interpretation model and porosity classification saturation interpretation model for quantitative evaluation of reservoir shale content and oil saturation are small, and the accuracy meets the production requirements. In this paper, the four-step method is used to identify the fluid properties of tight sandstone reservoirs step by step, which is to use the interrelationship between curves, eliminate the useless information, enhance the useful information, and finally solve the problem of identifying the fluid properties of tight sandstone reservoirs, which is difficult to identify, and realize the linear discrimination of the interpretation standard, which improves the accuracy of interpretation. The proven multi-information, four-step, step-by-step fluid property identification template has an accuracy of more than 90%. The interpretation model has been applied to 20 wells on the block with a compliance rate of 95.23%, providing the basis for accurately establishing the tight sandstone interpretation standard. The newly introduced log evaluation approach for tight sandstone reservoirs effectively overcomes the technical hurdles that have previously hindered the evaluation of such reservoirs in the Ordos Basin. This method is suitable for wide application and can be used for quantitative evaluation of tight sandstone reservoirs in different regions.
