Research on Identification Method of Argillaceous Interlayer in Compound Sand

Abstract

For the compound sand body, the interlayer is an important factor affecting the adjustment of oil production structure and remaining oil distribution. According to the origin of argillaceous interlayer, the interlayer is divided into three types, including barriers between two single layers, intercalations between two single sands and intercalations in a single sand. In this study, the upper limit of physical properties of interlayer was obtained by analyzing the relationship between physical parameters and production index per-meter. The discriminant index and comprehensive discriminant chart of interlayer were obtained by grey correlation method, which realize the quantitative identification of different types of interlayer. The intercalations between two single sands in the target area are distributed almost in the whole area, which is one of the most important factors influencing the mining effect of compound sand, so the planar distribution is mainly aimed at it. Firstly, through cross-well comparison, we summarize three interlayer patterns, then establish their forward modeling, so as to obtain the vertical seismic characteristics of different patterns. Secondly, according to the thickness of intercalations between two single sands, we take the top of bottom sand as the baseline, extract the average amplitude attribute from the upper and lower 3 ms, then, according to the seismic section and planar characteristics of the well, the interlayer structures represented by different seismic section and planar characteristics are summarized. Finally, starting from the real drilling interlayer of the well, the planar spread of interlay can be obtained according to their variation trend and distribution.
