- Abstract
The Daning-Jixian Block harbors abundant tight sandstone gas resources. However, significant variations in gas production exist among the different wells within the block. A comprehensive study was conducted on key factors such as sedimentary strata and petrophysical characteristics to elucidate their impact on gas reservoir productivity. Linear regression equations were employed to classify the favorable reservoirs within the study area. The analysis revealed that within the first 6 months of production from the Shan 23 gas layer, daily gas production ranged from 2576.19 to 156,078.17 m3/d, averaging 24,037.9 m3/d. Over the first year, average daily production varied from 2185.05 to 136,806.99 m3/d, averaging 23,469.23 m3/d, indicating relatively stable production from the Shan 23 layer alone. In the dominant central area of the underwater distributary channel delta front in Shan23, the sand body exhibits a superimposed cutting type, resulting in high production rates. Conversely, the sand bodies on the periphery gradually transition to superimposed and isolated types, leading to decreased production. Through a correlation analysis of gas layer thickness, porosity, permeability, and initial gas well production, it was determined that gas production from the wells within the same layer is primarily influenced by gas layer thickness, porosity, and permeability. Gas saturation demonstrates a minimal impact on production according to single-factor analysis. The evaluated factors such as the gas productivity coefficient, energy storage coefficient, and enrichment coefficient exhibited similar distribution patterns across the study area. The high-value areas for the gas productivity coefficient, energy storage coefficient, and enrichment coefficient are concentrated in distributary channel zones and delta lobes. In contrast, regions with underdeveloped skeletal sand bodies generally display lower values for these parameters. The linear relationships between these parameters and the average gas production were calculated to further classify the favorable reservoirs in the study area. This study aimed to establish a scientific basis for the efficient development of the tight sandstone gas reservoirs within the Daning-Jixian Block.
