Abstract:

The Ordovician Tahe carbonate reservoirs are dominated by karst fractures and caves. With the advance of oilfield development and geophysical surveying technology, the morphology of karst underground rivers has become clearer. However, due to the complex spatial structure, karst products and the types of reservoirs, structures and development patterns of karst reservoirs differ greatly. Take the fracture-cavity unit T615 as an example, we used high-resolution seismic data, together with core logging, FMI imaging logging, and single-well performance data, the reservoirs in the well area are divided into four types, i.e.filling (sand-mudstone filling and fine sandstone filling), collapsed-breccia filling, karst cave (unfilled) and dissolution crack types. Combined with the collected high-resolution 3D seismic attribute characterization data, the distribution characteristics and identification marks of the major products (hall cave, main stream cave, terminal cave, falling water cave and resident water cave) of typical karst systems are studied, and the karst formation is divided into 4 periods. After structural and filling reconstruction, different cave structures, karst products and reservoir types are found in the four-layer cave. Integrating hydrogeology and karst theory, the geological profile of the continuous well karst fractures and caves, and their genetic model in a typical karst system are established. This reveals the combination of fractures and caves between wells, and provides guidance for the description and characterization of karst reservoirs.
