Abstract:

Tectonic fractures are widespread in the KS2 gasfield and the fracture development characteristics differ with the structure locations. The single-well production in this area is controlled by the features of the sandstone and fractures. In this study, we determined the lithological characteristics, sand combination features and properties such as the degree, filling and occurrence of the fractures in the reservoir through analyzing the cores, slices, SEM and well-log data. Besides, we analyzed the relations between the well production and aforementioned sand and fracture features. The results show that the well production is affected by many factors of the property of the sand and fractures: wells located in the areas controlled by both faults and anticline have higher production, as indicated by routine test or acidification test; fractures with single direction are usually widespread in the anticline-controlled areas, and the wells there need to be tested by artificial hydraulic fracturing to obtain higher yield; fractures are poorly-developed in areas such as limbs and axis of the anticlines, and the wells there usually have low productivity.
