Abstract

In recent years, with the continuous development of resources, countries began to expand the exploration and exploitation of resources. Tight sandstone beds have been the focus of resource development in recent years. The purpose of this study is to provide a theoretical basis for the development of tight sandstone layers by exploring the transformation effect of fracture modeling on super-deep tight sandstone reservoirs. Firstly in this paper, the principle of the laser scanning confocal microscope, advantages and disadvantages and so on various aspects has carried on the detailed introduction, then the fracture types and formation mechanism of tight sandstone in detail, finally by means of fracture modeling experiment, establish the 3 d data model of crack, and on this basis, from three angles analyzes the crack modeling on ultra-deep tight sandstone reservoir. The experimental results show that the degree of fracture porosity is limited to the ability to improve the porosity of the reservoir, and the porosity of most fractures is less than 0.1%, accounting for 61%. The permeability of sandstone reservoirs without fracture matrix is between (0.01-0.1)×10-3μm2, and that of sandstone reservoirs with fracture matrix is generally between (1-10)×10-3μm2. The maximum permeability of this type of reservoirs is 25.8×10-3μm2, which is 1 to 2 quantity levels higher than that of those without fracture matrix. In general, fracture modeling plays an important role in the transformation of tight sandstone reservoirs in two aspects: the transformation of reservoir physical properties and the control of reservoir resource production.
