Thermal analysis of ultra-deep layers and its influence on reservoir utilization in platform area, Tarim Basin
摘要:The temperature field is one of the key factors restricting the development of effective reservoirs, however, few studies have focused on the thermal evolution of ultra-deep reservoirs and its influence on reservoir performance in the Tarim Basin. In this paper, the paleothermal history of the Tarim Basin platform area since the Phanerozoic are investigated by vitrinite reflectance modeling using well logs from new wells. The heat flow in the basin platform area has decreased gradually since the Early Paleozoic, from 45-65 to 32-45 mW/m2, and peaked briefly to ~46-62 mW/m2 during the Early Permian in some areas. Combined with the burial history, the thermal history of ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs and the distribution characteristics of key tectonic events are revealed, and the differential evolution of temperature field in different tectonic units and the main controlling factors are analyzed. The Ordovician reservoirs experienced slow heating then rapid heating processes. The reservoir cooling characteristics, i.e., planar cooling from the central area to the north and south sides during the key tectonic episodes, matches the hydrocarbon phase behavior, except for the local high anomaly during the Early Permian. The temperature field conditions for effective reservoir development in the platform area are discussed through building the temperature field and porosity evolution models. The phase behavior of hydrocarbons in ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs is strongly influenced by temperature and pressure, where not only the reservoir temperature can affect pore space for oil/gas charging, but also the long-term low-temperature, high-pressure environment is beneficial to the preservation of liquid hydrocarbons. This study helps to clarify the thermal evolution process of ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs in the platform area of the Tarim Basin, and provides a reference for the next stage of hydrocarbon exploration. ? 2023 Science Frontiers editorial department.
