简介:针对沾化凹陷罗家地区泥页岩进行岩石物理建模,在Backus平均理论中引入粘土矿物压实指数,考虑粘土定向排列引起的各向异性,由Chapman多尺度理论考虑裂缝系统引起的各向异性。根据储层物性特征,以水平缝为主控因素开发基于模型的反演算法,计算裂缝密度和各向异性参数。结果表明,反演的水平裂缝密度与岩心实测的水平渗透率有很好的正相关性,说明裂缝密度可作为渗透率的有效指示参数,同时也表明研究层段泥页岩的裂缝密度与粘土和石英等陆源碎屑含量呈负相关,而与碳酸盐岩含量呈正相关。同时,裂缝的存在使得纵波各向异性大于横波各向异性,裂缝密度与纵波各向异性参数呈明显正相关,而粘土含量与横波各向异性具有明显正相关性。这充分证明了岩石物理建模方法与裂缝反演技术的有效性。更多还原
简介:传统的地层压力预测方法大都建立在地层欠压实机理之上,对于由其它因素引起的异常高压现象未必适用。Yassir等(1999)发现异常地层压力通常与异常水平应力有密切联系,异常高压带的最大主应力往往很大。基于此,在分析重力场和构造应力场的双重应力场特征基础上,本次研究首先通过常规测井资料建立构造稳定地区的最大主应力的计算模型,将利用该模型计算构造挤压强烈的非稳定地区的主应力结果定义为虚拟最大主应力,再结合相对构造应力的贡献值得到最大主应力,最后在一定的超压范围之内,根据最大主应力与地层压力的拟合关系预测地层压力。通过对A气田的实际资料处理表明,利用该方法得到的地层压力预测值与实际测量值吻合较好,预测精度较传统的等效深度法有明显的提高。
