摘要:

现阶段莺歌海盆地中深层天然气勘探面临3个关键问题:①强超压层系内天然气是否可以成藏;②中深层沉积体系复杂,优质储层分布规律不清;③储层评价和烃类检测技术遇到瓶颈,储层含气性不易识别。经深入分析近年中深层高温高压钻井和勘探实践,认为烃类气已在中深层聚集成藏,但储层物性较差,因此,寻找优质储层是当前天然气勘探取得突破的关键。策略上,一是要利用地震沉积学的方法和思路寻找有利相带,预测优质储层;二是要进行储层类比研究,充分认识储层内非均质性引起的物性变化,探索优质储层的分布规律;三是要以岩石物理研究为基础和桥梁,利用高精度三维地震资料尝试叠前地球物理反演研究,增强烃类检测的可靠性,提高气层预测的精度。

Abstract:

Three key problems confronted with the natural gas exploration of mid-deep strata in the Yinggehai Basin were discussed here: ①whether natural gas can accumulate in super-overpressure strata; ②within a complicated sedimentary system of mid-deep strata, distributional disciplines for high-quality reservoirs are hard to be mastered; ③reservoir evaluation and hydrocarbon detection techniques encounter a choke point to be improved, which in turn leads to difficulties of gas identification in reservoirs. Drilling and prospecting practice in high-temperature and high-pressure mid-deep strata in recent years demonstrated that gaseous hydrocarbons could have accumulated in mid-deep strata, where, however, reservoirs developed with poor porosity and permeability. Therefore, the key to the success of natural gas exploration in these strata is to find high-quality reservoirs. Strategically, a couple of policies gaining access to the success of natural gas exploration were proposed as follows: firstly, to look for payable facies belts and predict good reservoirs by using approaches of seismic sedimentology; secondly, to fully understand variations in physical properties caused by heterogeneity in reservoirs and search for distributional disciplines of good reservoirs by analogy with various reservoirs; and thirdly, to use high-precision 3D seismic data to try prestack inversion on the basis of petrophysical studies so as to improve the reliability of hydrocarbon detection and the precision of gas reservoir prediction.
