A tight sandstone trapezoidal pore oil saturation model

“Non-Archie” phenomena are common in tight sandstone reservoirs with complicated pore structure, bringing challenges to the logging evaluation of tight sandstone. Based on the characteristics of tight sandstone pore structure, a new trapezoidal pore saturation model considering the effect of pore structure on rock conductivity is presented, in which the pore in tight sand is divided into straight pore with constant cross-sectional area and trapezoidal pore with variable cross-sectional area, and the total rock resistance is taken as the parallel resistance of these two parts to compressively consider the influence of pore structure and conductive volume on rock conductivity. The model parameters are studied by reconstructing the trapezoidal pore structure. Based on the trapezoidal pore reconstruction, characterization methods of model parameters were studied under the constraint of rock electrical properties test, and the variation was revealed of tortuosity, straight pore proportion and trapezoidal factors. The model was used in logging evaluation of tight sandstone of several wells, the results show the oil saturation obtained from the new model considering the effect of pore structure on electrical properties from the aspects of pore length and pore cross-section is in good accordance with the real regularity and petrophysical characteristics of the reservoir, and much closer to the formation oil-bearing conditions than that from the Archie model.
