The study suggests that, there are two typical kinds of reservoirs: crystalline shell limestone and argillaceous shell limestone. The reservoirs properties are poor with ultra-low porosity and low permeability, which can be significantly improved by fractures. Reservoir space type is pore-fracture, mainly constitutive of the micro-fractures accompanied by dissolved pores. The reservoir development is controlled by sedimentation, diagenesis and tectogenesis together. Shell beach and lacustrine slop are the favorable facies for reservoir development. Dissolution is the primary constructive diagenesis to improve reservoir porosity and permeability. Structural fractures are necessary for reservoir ef- fectiveness and high production.

Discriminated shale gas reservoir lithofacies are, in particular, a primary problem in shale gas reservoir engineering. The mineral composition will affect both absorbed and free gas contents, therefore their identification is important. The mineral composition is one part of lithofacies. The shale content has always been used in previous lithological identifications: this method is effective in sand reservoirs; however, it is not suitable for use in shale gas reservoirs. This paper takes No.7 section in Yanchang formation in Ordos basin as an example. Through a lithological analysis, it was concluded that overlap method and cross-plot method are not also inappropriate for shale gas reservoirs. The Ordos basin shale gas reservoir is divided into seven lithofacies. We form a mathematical method and apply it to shale gas reservoirs using the shale volume and lgR which are available from conventional well logging and reflect organic matter in the processed dataset. Decision tree is used here. However, there were too many parameters to discriminate all lithofacies precisely. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a technique used to reduce multidimensional data sets to lower dimensions for analysis. This technique can be useful in petro-physics and geology as a preliminary method of combining multiple logs into a single entity or two logs without losing information. Combining PCA and a decision tree algorithm, the lithofacies of a shale gas reservoir were accurately discriminated.","PeriodicalId":377053,"journal":{"name":"The Open Petroleum Engineering Journal","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132937147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Revised Kozeny-Carman equation and Archie formulas are introduced to deduce the model, which enhance the characterization ability of pore structure. Two displacing states, where we summarized that oil coats capillary walls and oil occupies capillary centers are also discussed for optimization of the model. In contrast to existing empirical formulas where relative permeability is strongly related to capillary pres- sure and fractal dimension, we introduce only water saturation and saturation index as input parameters, which make the model simpler to use. Petrophysics and unsteady relative permeability experiments (oil displacing water) are carried out to testify the two models.
