Abstract

To solve the difficulties in exploration and development in Yuanba Great Ultra-deep Gas Feild in Sichuan Basin, SW China, the article studies the mechanism of development of quality reef reservoirs gas accumulation and innovates techniques for ultra-deep seismic exploration, drilling, completion and testing. Through the dynamic depositional evolution process of homoclinal ramp-fringed platform and reconstruction of regional depositional framework in the Permian, it is found that the reservoirs in the Changxing Formation of Yuanba area, Sichuan Basin are developed in a pattern of “early shoal and late reef, multiple stage stacking, in rows and belts”, dissolution in early exposure stage and dolomitization during shallow burial give rise to the pores in matrix, overpressure caused by cracking of liquid hydrocarbon during deep burial induces fractures, and coupling of pores and fractures controls the development of ultra-deep high quality reservoirs. From correlation of oil and source rock, it is concluded that the Wujiaping Formation and Dalong Formation of deep-water continental shelf are the major source rocks in the Permian of northern Sichuan Basin. The hydrocarbon accumulation mode in ultra-deep formations of low-deformation zones is characterized by “three-micro migration, near-source enrichment, and persistent preservation”. Through seismic inversion using the pore structure parameters of pore-fracture dual structure model, the high production gas enrichment area in Yuanba gas field is 98.5 km2. Moreover, special well structure and unconventional well structure were used to deal with multiple pressure systems and sealing of complex formations. A kind of integral, high pressure resistant FF-level gas wellhead and ground safety linkage device was developed to accomplish safe and environmentally friendly gas production.
