Development technologies and models of different types of gas reservoirs in Ordos Basin, NW China by Ailin JIA, Dewei MENG, Guoting WANG, Guang JI, Zhi GUO, Naichao FENG, Ruohan LIU, Suqi HUANG, Shuai ZHENG, Tong XU

“…Four key directions of future research and technological breakthroughs are proposed: (1) Utilizing dual-porosity (fracture-matrix) modeling techniques in low-permeability carbonate reservoirs to delineate the volume and distribution of remaining gas in secondary pay zones, supporting well pattern optimization and production enhancement of existing wells. (2) Integrating well-log and seismic data to characterize reservoir spatial distribution of successive strata, enhancing drilling success rates in low-permeability sandstone reservoirs. (3) Utilizing the advantages of horizontal wells to penetrate effective reservoirs laterally, achieving meter-scale quantification of small-scale single sand bodies in tight gas reservoirs, and applying high-resolution 3D geological models to clarify the distribution of remaining gas and guide well placement optimization. (4) Further strengthening the evaluation of deep coal-rock gas in terms of resource potential, well type and pattern, reservoir stimulation, single-well performance, and economic viability.…”
