Fractal Characterization of Pore-Throat Types and Fluid Occurrence Mechanisms in Tight Sandstones: A Case Study of the He 1 Member, Ordos Basin

  • 摘要: 鄂尔多斯盆地盒1段是致密砂岩气勘探开发的重要层段,其矿物组构与孔喉结构的复杂关系导致可动流体评价困难,是制约气藏高效开发的关键。现有研究主要从孔喉结构参数与黏土矿物类型两方面分析流体赋存特征,但对不同岩性背景下黏土矿物如何影响孔喉结构、进而制约流体可动性的内在机制尚不清晰。本文以鄂尔多斯盆地新召地区盒1段致密砂岩为对象,利用薄片鉴定、扫描电镜、X射线衍射、高压压汞及变转速核磁共振等技术,划分岩石类型并结合基于T2截止值的分段分形理论,揭示岩性约束下矿物组构对孔喉结构及流体可动性的控制机理。结果表明:研究区盒1段致密砂岩可划分为四类岩性,Ⅰ类:含砾粗粒岩屑石英砂岩主要发育粒间粒内溶孔-高岭石晶间孔型;Ⅱ类:中-粗粒岩屑石英砂岩主要发育砂岩粒内溶孔-黏土矿物晶间孔型,Ⅲ类:含砾粗粒岩屑砂岩主要发育粒间杂基溶孔-粒内溶孔型,Ⅳ类:粗-中粒岩屑砂岩主要发育粒内溶孔-伊利石晶间孔型。分段分形表征显示,孔喉空间可划分为大孔与小孔,大孔分形维数与可动流体饱和度呈显著负相关,表明大孔系统的非均质性是控制流体可动性的关键。可动流体赋存受矿物组分及成岩作用的综合控制,Ⅰ、Ⅱ类中石英含量高,刚性骨架抗压实,溶蚀孔与高岭石晶间孔、微裂缝构成连通大孔系统,分形维数低,可动流体饱和度高;Ⅲ、Ⅳ类中伊利石和绿泥石呈丝状、搭桥状或片状充填,孔喉结构复杂,分形维数高,可动流体饱和度低。本研究揭示了不同岩性背景下矿物组构对孔喉结构及可动流体的控制机理,为致密砂岩气藏高效勘探开发提供了理论支撑。

     

    Abstract: The He 1 Member of the Ordos Basin is a key interval for tight sandstone gas exploration and development. The complex interplay between mineral fabric and pore-throat structure makes movable fluid evaluation challenging, which is a critical factor restricting the efficient development of gas reservoirs. Current research primarily analyzes fluid occurrence characteristics from the perspectives of pore-throat structure parameters and clay mineral types, yet the mechanisms by which clay minerals influence pore-throat structure and subsequently control fluid mobility under different lithological settings remain unclear. This study focuses on the tight sandstones of the He 1 Member in the Xinzhao area, Ordos Basin. Integrating thin section identification, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, high-pressure mercury injection, and variable-speed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, this work classifies rock types and employs segmented fractal theory based on T2 cutoff values to elucidate the control mechanism of mineral fabric on pore-throat structure and fluid mobility under lithological constraints. The results show that the tight sandstones in the study area can be divided into four lithologies: Type Ⅰ (gravel-bearing coarse-grained lithic quartz sandstone) is dominated by intergranular/intragranular dissolution pores and kaolinite intercrystalline pores; Type Ⅱ (medium- to coarse-grained lithic quartz sandstone) is characterized by intragranular dissolution pores and clay mineral intercrystalline pores; Type Ⅲ (gravel-bearing coarse-grained lithic sandstone) mainly develops intergranular matrix dissolution pores and intragranular dissolution pores; and Type Ⅳ (coarse- to medium-grained lithic sandstone) primarily develops intragranular dissolution pores and illite intercrystalline pores. Segmented fractal analysis reveals that the pore-throat space can be divided into large and small pore systems. The fractal dimension of the large-pore system shows a significant negative correlation with movable fluid saturation, indicating that the structural complexity and connectivity of the large-pore system are key factors controlling fluid mobility. The occurrence of movable fluid is jointly controlled by mineral composition and diagenesis. Types Ⅰ and Ⅱ are characterized by high quartz content, where a rigid framework resists compaction, and dissolution pores, kaolinite intercrystalline pores, and micro-fractures constitute a well-connected large-pore system with a low fractal dimension, resulting in high movable fluid saturation. In contrast, Types Ⅲ and Ⅳ are characterized by illite and chlorite occurring in filamentous, bridging, or flaky forms, which fill the pores, leading to complex pore-throat structures, a high fractal dimension, and low movable fluid saturation. This study reveals the control mechanism of mineral fabric on pore-throat structure and movable fluid under different lithological settings, providing a theoretical basis for the efficient exploration and development of tight sandstone gas reservoirs.
