Abstract1426)      PDF (3514KB)(856)      
In spite of special background that the petroleum geology conditions are extremely complex in China and most of its Meso-Cenozoic deposits are non-marine,We have not only brought out magnificant achievements,valuable experiences in oil and gas exploration,but opened up a path for developing the oil industry ourselves.For example,oil product in China has been raised to 160 million tons at present which stands for a great oil-producting state;While in the early days of the nation's establishment,it was only 120 thousand tons.This paper is a summerization of the personal experiences and their knowledge during the career of exploration practice over 40 years which consists of the following 8 parts:The genuine learning comes from practice;Exploration is an imperative problem for the developing of oil industry,A necessary procedure must be followed in this practice;We should pay more attention to the dissecting of main faults and their secondary belts in the case of strategic disployment;We need also attach importance to overcoming the limitations and one-sidedness in the process of cognition;In order to promote offectiveness of exploration,a summedup experience during great battles for oil must be brought forth and applied illustrated with examples in the future to exploration practice based on a developed democratic style in technique disposing and centralism of collective wisdom.

The introduction of petroleum system is an important advance of petroleum geology in 90'.But its concepts and genetic clasaification widely used overseas are not applicable for analyzing the region of polycyclic movement,and factors such as multiphase pool-forming,paulopast pool-forming and vertical mixing source should be revised in this case.In this paper,a historic-genetic classification of petroleum system is put forward in view of the special feature of marine sequences in South China.In the region which has undergone polycyclic tectonic movements,it is necessary to divide petroleum systems of primary basin genetically,analyze dynamic changes after the formation evoluted,and then determine operative types of petroleum system based on regional geological characteristics.The Silurian-Carboniferous petroleum system in South China is taken as case study.

Abstract1477)      PDF (1991KB)(974)      
In a petroliferous basin,especially a comples basin of great amplitude,often exist several fluid dynamic systems.Each system,in which oil and gas pools have similar formation conditions and comparable history,possesses relatively stable frontiers and unique pressure regime.Fluid dynamic systems can be classified into four types,i.e.,gravity-driven,compaction-driven,pressure compartmentation and no-flow systems.Different type of systems with different openness have different relative importance of hydrodynamic,thermodynamic and stress-induced forces in oil and gas pools formation.In oil and gas exploration,working hypothesis is different for different type of fluid dynamic systems.A case study indicates that the principal of fluid dynamic systems approach is very efficient and helpful in analyzing the formation and occurrence of oil and gas pools.

Porosity is an important parameter in reservoir description.The paper discusses the principle of porosity prediction with seismic data based on the propagation theory of seismic wave in diphase medium.A method of Complete Utilization of Sample Information(CUSI) to predict porosity is presented considering the fact that both the complexity of seismic porosity prediction and the function approximation of BP network need complete sample information and the low efficiency of learning(not suitable for seismic feature optimization).This method uses the capability of local approximation of CUSI network and establishes a function relation between seismic feature and porosity with borehole datd and the seismic data around the borehole to predict the porosity.The paper also presents the optimization principle of seismic features and the seismic feature optimization method based on genetic algorithm in porosity prediction with CUSI network.The result of the application showed that the method improved the porosityprediction precision with seismic datd.

The relative high abundance of dinosterances has been found in the member No.1 of Qingshankou Formation and the members No.1 and No.2 of Nenjiang Formation based on the geochemical studies of source rocks in Songliao Basin.The widely distributed dinosterance in source rocks indicates that there were two periods of marine transgression in geological history.The relative content of dinosterane in source rocks in the member No.1 of Qingshankou Formation is higher than that in the members No.1 and No.2 of Nenjiang Formation.In addition,C 31steranes have been identified only in the source rocks of member No.1 of Qingshankou Formation.This is not only attributed to differente algae in these formations,but also related to the differences between ancient sedimentary environment and the salinity in source rocks.The molecular fossil assemblage shows the relatively high salinity in source rocks of the member No.1 of Qingshankou Formation.It may indicate wide marine transgression in the period of the member No.1 of Qingshankou Formation sedimentation.The content of dinosterane has been tentatively used to determine the direction of marine transgression.

The automatic analysis and unique results are the goal of well testing.This paper proposed an optimal well test analysis method based on genetic algorithm.Genetic algorithm is a fast searching technique with the principle of ‘Survival of the fittest'.The fittest of each solution is evaluated to undergo the action of the crossover and mutation operators in each generation.Especially,the genetic algorithms are suited to problems with non-linearity,discontinuities,etc in each generation,all of which can cause traditional optimization schemes to fail.It is not necessary to specify initial estimates for the parameter values and objective function continuous.The method is superior to simple genetic algorithm.In order to maintain diversity in the population and sustain the convergence capacity of genetic algorithm adaptive probability of crossover and mutation are used.The optimal values of reservoir parameters can be obtained.The good well test results can be obtained by combining with automated type curve matching method of nonlinear trgress.Two field well test data demonstrated the method is efficient.

The vertical interference test is the most effective method determining vertical permeation and researching sealing ability of interlayer.In order to research the stability of interlayer,a vertical interference test method were developed.It can interpret the distance from the well to pinch-out or "open window" of interlayer.This paper introduces the principle and composition of vertical interference test in a multi-layer reservoir.Packer separates the well bore and the formation is divided into upper and lower layers.This paper considers two basic models:disk pinch-out and ring window.The upper and lower layers are permeable and middle layer is impermeable within the near well bore and further more has a pinch-out extending from it or an "open window" in some regions.We establish the theoretical model and find the solution.On the basis of the approximate analytical solutions at an early and a later time period,a vertical interference test method has been designed for interpreting stability of interlayer.A field example is then presented.The data is analyzed.It demonstrates that this type of well testing method is applicable.The result provides foundation for development of multi-layer reservoir,for example,decrees and adjusting well distance,dividing development layer.

Seismic While Drilling (SWD) is a drilling technique integrated with seismic technique.The main advantages and application of SWD are summarized.By SWD,the drilling bit can be positioned accurately,the drilled formation,lithologic characteristics,faults and fracture zone can be identified,the formation ahead of bit and abnormal formation pressure can be predicted.SWD can be used in well drilling trajectory control and can also be used in exploration wells to discover oil reservoir and protect oil reservior from damage.Without any downhole instrument,the system of SWD is equipped with a sensor on the top of the drillstring and reservers on earth surface.Seismic data are processed and utilized at the well site for real-time drilling decision.SWD will significantly reduce drilling cost,and increase economic benefits of exploration and ecploitation.

Two kinds of petroleum sulfonates were separated into different polar fractions by means of silica gel column.Phase behavior of different polar fractions and their blends have been studied.Blending different polar fractions at some appropriate proportions,however,do give middle phase microemulsion systems with high solubilization parameters and ultra-low interfacial tension on alcohol condition.Fractions alone of petroleum surfonate could not form middle phase microemulsion on alcohol-free condition.Blending at some appropriate proportions,blends of two or three fractions of petroleum sulfonate can not only form middle phase microemulsion but also reveal.High solubilization ratio and ultra-low interfacial tension at optimum salinity under alcoholfree condition.Parameters of phase behavior changed when the proportion of fractions changed.Experiment results indicate that petroleum sulfonates are themselves multicomponent surfactant that composed of different polar fractions.There are synergism among different polar fractions,polarity is important in synergism.It is suggested that the quality of petroleum sulfonale is supervised by the copmposition of different polar fractions.

In view of the speciality of displacement and strain fields around crack tip,the test procedure of sticking film moire interferometry has been introduced into the measuring of fracture parameters for pressurized piping.With the theory of wavefront interference,equations representing the displacement and strain in piping surface has been obtained.Measuring theory of fracture parameters has also been examined.It is found that the measuring results obtained by sticking film moire interferometry become sensitive to rigid boby movements due to the existence of piping curvature.Furthermore,when the curvature and the area to be measured are big enough,the effects of rigid boby movements to the measuring results may not be eliminated even the symmetric incident light path is adopted.To increase the measuring accuracy,some improvements on experimental techniques of sticking film moire interferometry have been made,some supplementary devices relating to the cutting,fixing,and sticking of the film are devised.Moreover,a software of measured data processing is developed.With the improved sticking film moire interferometry,the displacement field,strain field,strees intensity factor,crack opening displacement and J-intergral around the axial through crack tips of three pipings are measured.It is showed that the measured stress intensity factor and crack opening displacement are approximate to the theoretical solutions based on "D-M" model,value of J-integral in plastic region around crack tip varies as the integral path,and as the integral path come near the elastic region, J-integral value decreases to the theoretical solution.

An optimal model is proposed for predicting the pressure drop of two-phase flow in gas well tubing and annulus,based on the measured data from the gas field of southwest Sichuan,China.The liq-uid holdup in tubing is modeled as a function of dimensionless gas and liqiuid velocity numbers,as well as liquid viscosity number.And the liquid holdup in annulus is modeled as functions of ratio of gas and liquid superficial velocity,density and viscocity.Absolute error as goal function,the coefficients in the liquid holdup correlation and the modification factor of absolute roughness are optimized,based on the field flowing data and the minimum pressure drop.This model is evaluated by using 37 wells field data,23 in tubing and 14 in annulus,and compared with five commonly applied empirical correlation.The results of this model are satisfied and made closerto actually one.Sensitivity of the model to liquid/gas ratio is also presented.

Corrosion of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB) is one of the main causes of Microbiological-Inducing Corrosion in the injection water of oil field.At present,bactericides are widely used to inhibit SRB.Specially "1227" (ducedyldimethyl-benzyl ammonium chloride) has been used more widely.However,"1227" was used so long that SRB produce resistance to it.Therefore,it is necessary to study on how to deal with the drug-resistance bacteria.It has been reported that bacteria could be induced drug-resistance to a bactericide when it is used too long.But it is impossible that the drug-resistance of bacteria can be produced by two kinds of bactericides simultaneously.There are three actions by merging two kinds of bactericides,such as coordination,addition,and restraint.A new quick test method is adapted to study the complex bactericide.From Loewe equivalent curve,a complex bactericide with the merge of a new synthetic bactericide (BQA) is obtained and Metronidazol flagyl (ME),has good effectiveness on SRB and inhibit the drug-resistance SRB with the low-cost.It has satisfactory effectiveness on not only the drug-resistance bacteria produced from the lab,but also the drug-resistance bacteria sampled from the oil field.In addition,to apply the complex bactericide,further research work in oil field is needed.

How can the method of prestack depth migration solving geological imaging problems? The answer is given by the basic concept of migration in time and depth domain,and two gages are given in this paper.The relative error of horizontal distance and vertical depth are also given by using the methods of migration in time and depth domain,and these can tell us which geological structure the method of depth migration must be used.The method of depth migration is used to solve the imaging of stratigraphy above which there are slant layers and horizontal viable velocity.In the paper,the depth migration method based on Radon transformation-Gaussian beam principle is introduced.The viewpoints of ray and wave theory are combined in the method which can help us solving the imaging problem of conti-nental deposit stratigraphy.The successful key point of depth migration is the accurate velocity modeling.Therefore,many methods of ve-locity modeling are analyzed.

Oil sand formation of about 90m in thickness and a large number of crevasse filling bitumen were first discovered in Upper Jurassic in the Northwest Qaidam Basin.Characteristics of the extracts of the oil sands and bitumen show that they are similar to Jurassic oils of the Northeast Qaidam Basin and differ from Tertiary oils in the Northwest Qaidam.Geological surveying indicates that there are thick Lower-Middle Jurassic source rocks in the Northwest Qaidam Basin. Biomarkers and other natures of extracts of the Jurassic source rocks are similar to the oil sands and the crevasse filling bitumen.Correlation of the oil sands and the source rocks suggests that the oils in the sands were derived from the Jurassic source rocks.The discovery of the oil sand and crevasse filling bitumen presents important signifi-cance to petroleum exploration in the Qaidam and other Basins along the Altun Fault.
