Abstract

Deposition mechanism and distribution patterns of high quality tight sandstone reservoirs are not fully understood yet,so this study intends to discuss the controlling effect of stacking patterns of different lithofacies architectures on high quality tight sandstone reservoirs.By using outcrops,seismic data,physical property and logging and test data,the distribution patterns of high quality tight sandstone reservoirs controlled by lithofacies architecture have been investigated with sand body structure analysis,sedimentary lithofacies analysis,genesis analysis of lithofacies and lithofacies combinations methods.The research indicates:(1)Different lithofacies architectures suggest different depositional environments.There are 5 typical lithofacies architectures in the 2nd member of Xujiahe Formation,which correspond well with sedimentary subfacies. (2) The quality of reservoir is strongly controlled by lithofacies architecture.The analysis of samples shows that the average porosity of fine siltstone with massive bedding is lower than that of siltstone with crossing bedding,and the porosity of the top of fine siltstone reservoir with massive bedding (main part of channel) is higher than that ofits bottom and flank;whilefor siltstone reservoirs with crossing bedding,the center and bottom part have higher porosity than the flank and top(abandoned channel). (3)Lithofacies architecture has strong control over gas-bearing property.The higher the lamination factor,the higher the possibility of high gas productivity.The lower the lamination factor,the higher the possibility of water-bearing layer.Facies change zone and fracture developing zone are two key factors affecting gas bearing property,and the coupling offacieschange zone and fracture developing zone is the necessary condition for high production gas wells.
