Abstract

The extension of river channels is one of the key factors in determining the remaining oil distribution. Different sedimentary facies and bedding types of oil layers will form specific characteristics of remaining oil distribution after water injection development. Using massive drilling, core, logging, seismic, and production data, on the basis of sequence stratigraphy base-level cycle change, the river records and development history are restored, and the fine connectivity of reservoirs and the configuration relationship of production wells are studied. The following conclusions are drawn: (1) A sequence stratigraphic division scheme is established. In the established sequence framework, the types and characteristics of reservoir sand bodies are analyzed. The 2nd and 6th members of Yu yang formation can be divided into 2 long-term base level cycles, 5 medium-term base level cycles, and 17 short-term base level cycles. The evolution of the second and sixth members of the Yu yang formation shows a pattern of base level rising, falling and rising again; (2) the vertical sedimentary evolution sequence is underwater distributary channel distributary channel meandering channel distributary channel flood plain. The types of channel sand bodies developed from little overlap to more vertical or lateral overlap and then gradually changed to isolated type; (3) according to the structural location and development sequence, different types of reservoirs are identified. Combined with the statistics of the drilled data of Yu yang formation k 2 y4 in Fu I fault block, it is found that the connectivity rate of oil layer thickness (the ratio of oil layer connectivity thickness to total thickness of sand layer) within the oil-bearing area is 84.4%, and the connectivity rate of the number of layers (8) is 60%. The connectivity condition is relatively good.
