Abstract:

Due to the complex structure of strike-slip faults in the East Ⅱ Block of the Sulige Gas Field in Ordos Basin, the fluid differential enrichment regularity and distribution characteristics under fault control are unclear, which hamper the optimization and development adjustment of favorable target of the local target layer.To resolve the above problems, based on the fine geological interpretation of seismic data, the fault structural analysis was carried out in this study.The staging characteristics of faults and their differential control effect on fluid distribution were defined.The results show that: (1) The local strike-slip faults have two types of 5 type section structural styles,i.e. single fault type and combination type, and five types of plane structural styles, are combined on the plane i.e.linear, oblique, overlapping, feathered and braidedtypes, (2) The strike-slip fault experienced three stages of tectonic evolution: Caledonian-early Yanshanian extrusion, middle and late Yanshanian strike-slip, and Himalayan extension.From deep to shallow strata, the fault structure underwent the evolution of single fault-type, flower-like, and Yanshanian-type.According to the different fault structural styles, three segment of linear shear segment, derived shear segment and mixed shear segment are developed from west to east. (3) Faults with different structural styles control different fluid differential enrichment modes.Four types of fluid differential enrichment modes are developed in the study area, namely the single-fault-closed-stable production rise type, assembly-open and low-yield rapid decline type, and shear-semi-open and low-yield slow decline type.Among them, the single-fault-closed-stable production rising type and the drawing-semi-open and high-yield slow decline type have higher daily gas production and cumulative gas production and stable production, which are the main local natural gas enrichment area.Our results reveal the important controlling effect of strike-slip fault on fluid differential enrichment in tight sandstone reservoirs, and point out the direction for local further development and adjustment.
