Development Characteristics and Exploration Implications of Low-Order Fault Systems in Tarim Basin: An Example from Shunbei Oil and Gas Field
-
摘要: 塔里木盆地深层海相碳酸盐岩物性致密,在应力集中下容易形成脆性变形,表现为多序级高陡走滑断裂体系发育.其中,低序级断裂(主干二级以下)“规模小、活动弱、方向杂”,其分布及成因是构造领域近期研究的热点和难点问题.基于顺北地区连片三维地震资料,开展了低序级断裂地球物理识别方法攻关和分布预测,综合地震资料、钻井、测井资料的系统分析和野外多轮次踏勘,揭示了顺北地区低序级断裂的展布规律、成因模式、成储成藏特征等,初步提出勘探评价与部署思路建议:(1)探索形成了一套“先增强预处理、后分区优选属性”的低序级断裂识别技术序列,将低序级断裂带识别长度精度提高至1 km;(2)落实顺北中东部NE向、NEE向、NW向、近NS向和近EW向等5组走向低序级断裂,并划分为近平行体系、锐夹角体系和近垂直体系等3种成因类型;(3)明确低序级断裂内部通常不发育完整的核带结构,由多组系裂缝带组成,缺少大套角砾破碎带以及角砾空腔,较主干断裂规模小、连通性弱,易形成超压油气藏系统.本文指出寻找规模储集体目标对于低序级断控领域部署至关重要,需考虑地质工程一体化,优选低序级断裂高密度区的“串珠”并进行一井多靶井型设计.Abstract: The deep-margin carbonate rocks in the Tarim basin exhibit dense physical properties and are prone to brittle deformation under stress concentration, resulting in the development of multi-order strike-slip fault systems. However, due to the characteristics of low-order faults being 'small in scale, weak in activity, and diverse in direction', their distribution and genesis have been argumentative in current structural research. Based on the high-quality 3D seismic data of the Shunbei area, it built the geophysical identification methods and distribution prediction of low-order faults. Through the systematic analysis of seismic, drilling, logging and field survey data, the distribution patterns, genesis models, and characteristics of reservoir formation of low-order faults in the Shunbei area were revealed. Preliminary suggestions for exploration evaluation and deployment strategies were proposed.(1) A technical sequence for identifying low-order faults was developed, which involves 'enhanced geophysical preprocessing first, followed by optimal attribute selection of sub-regions'. This results in improving the identification accuracy of low-order faults to 1 km in length. (2) Five sets of NE, NEE, NW, near NS, and near EW trending low-order faults in the northeastern central Shunbei area were recognised, and classified into three genetic types: nearly parallel system, acute angle system, and near vertical system. (3) Low-order faults typically do not develop a complete fault core-damage zone architecture, but consist of multiple sets of fracture zones, lacking large angular gravel breccia zones and angular gravel cavities. It is smaller in scale and weaker with connectivity compared to main strike-slip faults, making them preferred for forming overpressured oil and gas reservoir systems. Identifying target reservoirs with a certain scale is crucial for the decision of the low-order faults exploration, requiring consideration of geology-engineering integration, preferentially selecting beads-shaped reflections in high-density areas of low-order faults and designing Multi-Target Well.
