Abstract
The development of carbonate reservoirs is closely related to sedimentary facies. The identification of carbonate rock fabric components with logging data is of great practical significance for the study of carbonate sedimentary facies. However, due to the strong diagenesis and the development of fractures and vugs in the carbonate strata, it has always been a difficult problem to use conventional logging data to accurately identify lithofacies based on rock fabric classification. At present, the combination of effective logging parameters and machine learning methods has become an effective means to improve the identification accuracy. Among them, Lucia's apparent rock fabric number (ARFN) parameter has achieved good application results in carbonate rocks. However, ARFN technology is established in non-fractured and non-water zones, which limits its application. Therefore, this paper takes the Cambrian Longwangmiao Formation in the GM area of Sichuan Basin as an example, and proposes an improved method. The study area is dominated by carbonate ramp deposition, which is controlled by late dolomitization and hypergene dissolution, with dissolution pores and multiphase fractures developing. The reservoir has good physical properties but strong heterogeneity. Firstly, with reference to the Lucia's rock type classification scheme, the lithofacies are divided into three categories: granular dolomite (including sandy dolomite and finely crystalline dolomite), very finely crystalline dolomite and micrite dolomite (including micrite dolomite and argillaceous micrite dolomite). Then, through the relationship analysis of the rock types and log response, the most sensitive curves are selected as density, acoustic wave and natural gamma curve. Based on the logging porosity, logging water saturation and thin section identification data, Lucia's ARFN formula is improved according to the conditions of water layer and non-water layer. The results show that ARFN curve can quickly and quantitatively identify rock fabric components, and the recognition coincidence rate is high for granular dolomite and micrite dolomite, but low for very finely crystalline dolomite. Finally, the improved ARFN is used as one of the logging input parameters, and combined with the K-neighbor classification algorithm (KNN) to further improve the accuracy of lithofacies logging identification. The core data verification shows that the average coincidence rate increases from 74, to more than 80,, which effectively promotes the fine study of carbonate sedimentary microfacies of the Longwangmiao Formation in the GM area of Sichuan Basin. The improved ARFN formula can be applied to any nonmicrobial carbonate strata, especially for dolomite strata with fewer rock types, to achieve rapid and quantitative identification of lithofacies, so this technology is suitable for other similar carbonate rocks. The lithofacies logging identification of the formation has reference and promotion value. However, ARFN technology is established in nonfractured and non-aqueous layers, which limits its application.
