Abstract

To solve the problem that the law of rock electrical response under low and medium water saturation in tight sandstone reservoirs is not clear, an experimental method of high-speed centrifugal displacement rock electricity and nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrometry under different water saturation was proposed, which can drive the tight sandstone cores with the permeability less than 0.1×10 -3 μm 2, and provide a reliable experimental means for the study of tight sandstone electrical property. By carrying out supporting experiments such as high-resolution CT scan, MAPS and Qemscan, a multi-mineral component fine three-dimensional digital core based on multi-source information fusion was constructed. The finite element numerical simulation method was used to obtain the electrical response of tight sandstone core with low water saturation which cannot be obtained in laboratory conditions. By combining experiment and numerical simulation, the electrical response laws have been clear of tight sandstone with complex pore structure, and the saturation evaluation method of variable rock electrical parameters based on pore structure has been developed. The processing of logging data of multiple wells in tight sandstone reservoir of Chang 7 Member in the Ordos Basin shows that this method can obtain more accurate oil saturation, and provides a new idea and method for fine logging evaluation of tight sandstone reservoir.
