Abstract:

Up-dip pinch-out sandstone reservoir is an important rock reservoir type, and its characterization and description is a key to evaluate up-dip pinch-out traps. Within the third-order sequence, which is mainly composed of deltaic front deposition, the geological-geophysical “gradual prediction” method (to describe the up-dip pinch-out deltaic sand-bodies) has great significance to delineate and explore up-dip pinch-out sandstone reservoirs. This method consists of five parts: (1) Based on third-level sequence identification, high resolution sequence stratigraphic division technology is used to establish the high-resolution (fourth-order) sequence stratigraphic framework; (2) Use seismic sedimentologic technology to describe the planar sedimentary facies distributions under high-frequency sequences; (3) Based on geological models, spectral imaging technique is used to delineate the distributions of the pinch-out zone; (4) Facies-controlled reservoir inversion is conducted to (semi)-quantitatively delineate the sand-body pinch-out line; (5) According to different sedimentary characteristics of sand-bodies, a forward modelling is performed to extrapolate the pinch-out lines.

Key words: up-dip pinch-out sandstone, high resolution sequence stratigraphy, seismic sedimentology, spectral imaging, facies-controlled reservoir inversion, forward modelling
