Reservoir Prediction Restricted by Sequence Stratigraphy — A Case Study of Bioclastic Shoal Reservoir in Changxing Formation of Jiannan Area

Bioclastic shoal reservoir in Changxing Formation of Jiannan area is characterized by small thickness and strong heterogeneity. The uncertainty of the reservoir distribution pattern has confined the effective development of this area, so the accurate bioclastic shoal reservoir prediction would be the key to achieve development breakthroughs. Based on drilling, well-log, seismic and core analysis data, this article conducted exquisite sequence stratigraphic classification and established isochronal regional stratigraphic framework of Changxing Formation in Jiannan area. The reservoir seismic corresponding features were determined by exquisite calibrating bioclastic shoal reservoir in Changxing Formation. Therefore, seismic processing methods, such as multiple attribute analysis and amplitude inversion, were applied to attain more reliable reservoir prediction results, which indicated the distribution of vertical reservoir in SSQ2, the IV sequence order and the distribution of horizontal reservoir around Well J43 and JZ1 in the platform margin of the study area.


Introduction
Jiannan area is located in Lichuan of Hubei and Shizhu county of Chongqing, in the middle of Shizhu synclinorium in the east margin of Sichuan Basin structurally.The extension of strata is NNE and NE in the area.Jiannan and the adjacent area include sub-structural units like Qiyueshan anticlinorium, Shizhu syn-N.N. Wu DOI: 10.4236/ojogas.2019.41001 2 Open Journal of Yangtze Gas and Oil clinorium, Fangdoushan anticlinorium from east to west [1] (Figure 1).Changxing Formation of the Upper Permian is the primary gas production layer in this area.
Recently, a series of geological and seismic studies have been carried out on the bioclastic shoal reservoirs of Changxing Formation to draw an elementary understanding [2] [3] [4].However, the exquisite development of gas reservoir requires higher reservoir evaluation degree.This article is based on sequence stratigraphic classification, combined with multiple seismic reservoir prediction methods to characterize the vertical and horizontal extension of Changxing Formation reservoir, which provides favorable drilling suggestions for gas reservoir development [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10].

Formation Characteristics
Changxing Formation of Jiannan area is predominantly composed of carbonate platform deposits, with a thickness of 260 ~ 320 m, which is divided into two members [3].

Sequence Stratigraphy Classification
According to drilling, well-log and seismic data analysis, combined with sequence boundary composition, identification symbols and genetic mechanism, the sequence stratigraphy classification was done in a single well and cross-well section at first [11] [12] (Figure 2, Figure 3).After well-seismic calibration, the sequence boundaries were interpreted continuously on seismic sections (Figure 4).Consequently, the sequence stratigraphic framework of the study area was established through horizontal sequence stratigraphy classification [13] [14].In this research, Changxing Formation is divided into two III order sequences, SQ1 and SQ2.SQ1 is consisted of Chang 1 Member.SQ2 is consisted of Chang 2 Member.Furthermore, four IV order sequences are identified.Among them, SSQ1 and SSQ2 correspond to SQ1, while SSQ3 and SSQ4 correspond to SQ2.

Reservoir Elaborate Calibration
On the basis of sequence stratigraphy classification, the reservoir was elaborately calibrated and its seismic responding features were determined to provide the gist for reservoir prediction [15].

Quantitative Prediction
Seismic wave impedance inversion is one of the most effective methods for reservoir prediction.Furthermore, wave impedance is highly corresponding with N. N. Wu Open Journal of Yangtze Gas and Oil gas reservoir [16].Post-stack restricted sparse pulse inversion was applied to realize quantitative reservoir prediction in the study area.Because the develop location and lithology of bioclastic shoal reservoir are different, different time windows and wave impedance thresholds were chosen accordingly to calculate reservoir thickness of different sequences.
SSQ1 was mainly developed at the early stage of platform margin shoal, where dolomite is the predominant reservoir type, whose wave impedance is 16,50000 ~ 17,30000 g•(s•cm 2 ) −1 .A time window is kept open for 5 ms downward from TP 2 ch 1-1 that is SSQ1-HST, then it is filtered with the reservoir threshold in this scale, the acquired sample rate is multiplied by the reservoir velocity (6250 m/s) and the time grid of single travel time, and the predicted reservoir thickness is calculated.On the reservoir prediction thickness map (Figure 9

Prediction Result Analyses
When the results of qualitative attribute prediction are compared with quantitative wave impedance prediction, early stage platform margin shoal in SSQ1 distributes around the north high point, Zone J7-JZ1, however, the south high point

Conclusion
This article conducted an exquisite sequence stratigraphic classification and established isochronal regional stratigraphic framework.Changxing Formation was divided into four IV order sequences from well-seismic interpretation, which identified the bioclastic shoal reservoirs in this Formation.Under the restriction of stratigraphic framework, the seismic responding features of intraplatform shoal and platform margin shoal were concluded by exquisite reservoir calibration.Intraplatform shoal reservoir shows medium-high amplitude and continuous parallel reflection, while platform margin shoal reservoir shows medium-weak amplitude, complex wave and hypo continuous parallel reflection.
On this basis, attribute analyses and wave impedance inversion were applied to realize the reservoir prediction.The results indicate that the favorable reservoir vertically distributes in SSQ2 and horizontally distributes around Well J43 and Well JZ1, which used to be the platform margin.This application of seismic reservoir prediction method restricted by sequence stratigraphy is proved to be effective in bioclastic shoal reservoir prediction of Changxing Formation in Jiannan area and provides useful information for future deployment of the development wells.

mation is characterized by low-velocity (5500 ~ 6350 m/s), low-density (2.6 ~ 2.75 g/cm 3 ) and low-natural gamma value (0 ~ 40 API).Since different sedimentary environments present different seismic responding features, several wells are chosen to calibrate reservoir.From the results, intraplatform shoal reservoir represented by Well J47CP1 shows medium-high amplitude and continuous parallel reflection (Figure 6(a)).However, platform margin shoal reservoir represented by Well J43 shows medium-weak amplitude, complex wave and hypocontinuous parallel reflection (Figure 6(b)).
(a)), the reservoir distributes around the north high point, Zone J7-JZ1, with a thickness of 5 ~ 20 m, and the south high point, Zone JP7, with a thickness of 5 ~ 15 m.SSQ2 developed middle stage platform margin shoal and intraplatform shoal, where lime-bearing dolomite and dolomitic limestone are the main reservoir rock types, whose wave impedance is 15,50000 ~ 16,25000 g•(s•cm 2 ) −1 .Open a time window from the top to the base of SSQ2, then filter seismic wave with that reservoir threshold, multiply the acquired sample rate by the reservoir velocity (6000 m/s) and the time grid of single travel time, and the predicted reservoir thickness is calculated.On the reservoir prediction thickness map (Figure 9(b)), the reservoir distributes around both the north and south high points, with a thickness of 10 ~ 30 m in the south, and 12.5 ~ 35 m in the north.Meanwhile, the principal part of shoal extended along both sides of the continental shelf.
