  • Objective

    The pore structure of tight sandstone reservoirs is complex, featuring the presence of nanopores, which is essential to integrate multiple technologies for a systematic characterization of the pore structure to enhance the understanding of these reservoirs.

    Methods

    Six representative cores from the Chang 71 Chang Yanchang reservoir were selected for analysis. The pore types and structural characteristics of the core samples were examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), constant rate mercury injection (CMP), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The NMR pore distribution was adjusted based on CMP data, allowing for the identification of distribution ranges for the throat and pore radii, and a pore size classification method tailored for tight sandstone was developed.

    Results

    Findings indicate that the ratio of the movable water porosity to the immovable water porosity of the target reservoir is only 0.14-0.47, indicating poor seepage capacity. The integration of NMR and CMP data enabled accurate characterization of the reservoir, identifying a median throat radius of 0.151-0.525 μm and a median pore radius of 4.38-9.76 μm. The pore types include mobile water, bound water, and clay-bound water, with average saturation values of 23.4%, 14.8%, and 9.4%, respectively. The average porosities of the small pores (T2 < T2c1), medium pores (T2c1 < T2 < T2c2), and large pores (T2c2 < T2) were found to be 3.12%, 3.42%, and 1.35%, respectively. The parameter r2c1 serves as an evaluation index for the classification of reservoir seepage capacity. A decrease in r2c1 leads to a decrease in the porosity of small pores (i.e., adsorption pores) and an increase in the porosity of medium and large pores (i.e., seepage pores).

    Conclusion

    The research findings offer valuable insights for the selection of high-quality tight sandstone reservoirs and the enhancement of tight oil recovery.
