Abstract:
With the shift in exploration focus in Bohai Oilfield, buried hill reservoirs have gradually become a hotspot in Bohai Bay Basin, leading to a series of significant exploration discoveries. The Paleozoic buried hill reservoirs in Shaleitian Uplift exhibit complex fluid properties, posing great challenges for logging identification. The conventional logging data evaluation methods are no longer able to satisfy the on-site production needs. Through a systematic review and study on the logging data of the drilled wells in the carbonate buried hill reservoirs of Shaleitian Uplift, and based on the logging data response characteristics from such reservoirs, the fracture development index based on mechanical specific energy (MSE) and hydrocarbon abundance evaluation method of the carbonate buried hill reservoirs in the study area were established, which were used to identified high-quality reservoirs. Practical application in exploration wells has demonstrated the effectiveness of this real-time evaluation method for Paleozoic carbonate buried hill reservoirs, showing a consistency rate of 91.3% when compared with the well logging and formation testing results. It thus provides robust technical support for the interpretation and evaluation of carbonate buried hill reservoirs in the study area.
