摘要
The Lower Jurassic in eastern Kuqa foreland basin is a fractured tight sandstone reservoir. The distribution of natural fractures controls hydrocarbon accumulation and single well productivity. Fracture connectivity is a key factor affecting porosity and permeability performance, productivity of tight reservoirs and cap integrity, but it lacks in systematic research on quantitative characterization methods of fracture connectivity and its influencing factors. Taking the Lower Jurassic tight sandstone reservoirs in eastern Kuqa foreland basin as an example, in this paper it analyzes the fracture development characteristics, quantitatively characterizes the fracture connectivity using a fracture node types and their proportions based method, and analyzes the controlling factors of fracture connectivity using numerical simulation. There are three types of microfractures in the study area: intragranular microfractures, grain-edge microfractures and intergranular microfractures. From west to east, fracture connectivity deteriorates gradually, which is consistent with fracture development intensity. Fracture azimuth dispersion, fracture length, fracture density and angle between fracture sets are the main factors affecting fracture connectivity. With the increase of fracture azimuth dispersion, fracture length, fracture density and angle between fracture sets, fracture connectivity becomes better. © 2023 China University of Geosciences.
