Abstract

The Temblor Formation reservoirs in the densely drilled West Coalinga field were primarily deposited in various tidal settings and have an abundance of reservoir complexity types and heterogeneities that can be interpreted within a sequence stratigraphic framework. Characterization of the Temblor reservoirs is presented in three parts: the first part focuses on techniques of recognizing functional rock types using available logs, the second part focuses on interpreting depositional facies and stacking patterns in a sequence stratigraphic framework using available core, and the third part investigates two complex cases of reservoir continuity. As described in part I, the task of characterizing lithologies in the reservoir is a challenge because only the resistivity and porosity logs provide consistently useable information, and even then, with a number of caveats.As described in parts II and III, incised valley fills, associated with lowstand systems tract deposition above sequence boundaries, represent the dimensionally largest stratigraphic heterogeneities, are excellent completion targets, and can be imaged in three-dimensional seismic data as well as recognized in well sections. Incised valley fills typically consist of multistory tidal channel complex deposits. Mudstone intervals, locally diatomaceous, represent transgressive systems tract (TST) deposits and form vertical compartments in the reservoir. Highstand systems tract (HST) deposits include tidal bar and tidal channel deposits. Odd wedge-shaped bodies at a scale similar to that of incised valleys are also present in the upper Temblor reservoirs and represent deposition by backstepping (TST) and prograding (HST) systems tracts.At the bedset scale, thin mudstone beds, mudstone drapes, and mudstone clast conglomerates represent finer scales of heterogeneity. Localized carbonate-cemented zones can be mapped and represent important diagenetic heterogeneities that locally reduce net pay at the facies level. These well-documented different heterogeneity types can be used to address potential concerns in other tidal reservoirs being considered for development or in the early stages of production.
潮汐沉积环境中复杂的多尺度储层异质性,加利福尼亚州西科林加油田 Temblor 地层
密集钻探的 West Coalinga 油田的 Temblor Formation 储层主要沉积于各种潮汐环境中,具有丰富的储层复杂类型和异质性,可以在层序地层框架内进行解释。Temblor 油藏的特征描述分为三部分:第一部分重点介绍利用现有测井记录识别功能岩石类型的技术;第二部分重点介绍利用现有岩心解释层序地层框架中的沉积面和堆积模式;第三部分研究两个复杂的油藏连续性案例。如第一部分所述,确定储层岩性特征的任务是一项挑战,因为只有电阻率和孔隙度测井提供了持续可用的信息,即使如此,也有许多注意事项。如第二和第三部分所述,与层序边界之上的低台系统道沉积有关的切谷充填代表了尺寸最大的地层异质性,是极好的完井目标,可以在三维地震数据中成像,也可以在井剖面中识别。裂谷充填物通常由多层潮汐河道复合沉积物组成。泥岩层段(局部为硅藻土)代表了横向系统道(TST)沉积,并在储层中形成垂直分区。高位系沉积包括潮间带和潮汐河道沉积。上腾博会登录储层中还存在规模类似于切入谷的奇特楔形体,代表了后退(TST)和渐进(HST)系统道的沉积。在层集规模上,薄泥岩层、泥岩垂带和泥岩碎屑砾岩代表了更细的异质性规模。可以绘制局部的碳酸盐加固带,它们代表了重要的成岩异质性,在局部减少了岩层的净付积。这些记录详实的不同异质性类型可用于解决考虑开发或处于生产早期阶段的其他潮汐储层的潜在问题。

期刊介绍: While the 21st-century AAPG Bulletin has undergone some changes since 1917, enlarging to 8 ½ x 11” size to incorporate more material and being published digitally as well as in print, it continues to adhere to the primary purpose of the organization, which is to advance the science of geology especially as it relates to petroleum, natural gas, other subsurface fluids, and mineral resources. Delivered digitally or in print monthly to each AAPG Member as a part of membership dues, the AAPG Bulletin is one of the most respected, peer-reviewed technical journals in existence, with recent issues containing papers focused on such topics as the Middle East, channel detection, China, permeability, subseismic fault prediction, the U.S., and Africa.
