Abstract:

The sepiolite-containing succession in the Member 1 of the Middle Permian Maokou Formation in the Sichuan Basin exhibit self-generation and self-accumulation characteristics,positioning them as a promising new frontier for the exploration of unconventional gas reservoirs. However,the identification and predictive distribution of these strata are still underdeveloped. This study utilizes core samples,thin sections,X-ray diffraction(XRD)analysis,well logging,and mud logging data,performing sensitivity analysis to select six key well log curves: CNL,DEN,GR,RT,RXO,and AC. The SMOTE algorithm is employed to address feature imbalance. The workflow for predicting sepiolite-containing succession based on multi-gradient boosting algorithms is as follows: (1)The CatBoost algorithm is used for binary classification to determine the presence of sepiolite;(2)CatBoost performs multi-class classification to categorize the morphology of sepiolite-containing succession;(3)XGBoost is applied for regression analysis to predict the talc content in the sepiolite-containing succession;(4)The effective thickness of sepiolite-containing succession is identified based on talc content. The sepiolite-containing succession in the Member 1 of Maokou Formation primarily exhibit three morphologies: spotty,lenticular,and layered. Prediction results indicate that spotty talc is mainly developed in the northern and central southern regions of Sichuan Basin,with thickness increasing toward the northeast;lenticular talc is predominantly distributed in the western Sichuan region;and layered talc is mainly found in north western,central and southern Sichuan Basin. Overall,the sepiolite-containing succession in the Member 1 of Maokou Formation show a distribution pattern of‘thicker in the northeast,thinner in the southwest.’The Tongjiang-Changshou intracratonic sag area and the Hechuan-Weiyuan-Luzhou region serve as the sedimentary centers for the effective thickness of sepiolite-containing succession,providing a basis for future exploration and deployment in these areas.

摘要:

四川盆地中二叠统茅口组一段含海泡石层系具有自生自储、源内成藏的特点,为碳酸盐岩非常规气藏勘探的新领域,目前对其的识别和分布预测较为薄弱。基于岩心、薄片、XRD、测井与录井资料,通过敏感性分析选取CNLDENGRRTRXOAC 6条测井曲线,利用SMOTE算法处理特征平衡性差异,提出含海泡石层系基于多梯度提升器算法的综合预测流程。具体如下: (1)CatBoost算法以滑石作为预测分析载体,对是否含海泡石作二分类判断; (2)CatBoost算法对含海泡石层系进行滑石产状的多分类判断; (3)XGBoost算法对含海泡石层系的滑石含量进行回归预测; (4)识别不同产状含海泡石层系的有效厚度。茅一段含海泡石层系(滑石)主要发育斑点状、透镜状和层状3种产状。预测结果显示,斑点状滑石发育在川北和川中—蜀南地区,厚呈向北东增大趋势; 透镜状滑石主要分布在川西地区; 层状滑石见于川西北、川中和蜀南地区。四川盆地茅一段含海泡石层系整体具有“北东厚、南西薄”的分布特征,通江—长寿凹陷地区为含海泡石层系的沉积中心,合川—威远—泸州地区为含海泡石层系优势发育区,这为下一步的勘探部署提供了依据。
