Logging Characteristics and Identification Methods of Low Resistivity Oil Layer: Upper Cretaceous of the Third Member of Qingshankou Formation, Daqingzijing Area, Songliao Basin, China

Abstract EN

This study focuses on low resistivity thick layer sandstone in the X~XII groups of the third member of Qingshankou Formation at Daqingzijing oilfield, along with comprehensive data of logging, core, oil test, and production test.

Based on the current data, we characterized the logs of low resistivity thick-layer sandstone, quantitatively identified calcareous sandstone and low resistivity reservoir, predicted the reservoir thickness, and further explored the causes of low resistivity reservoir of the region.

The resistivity of thick layer sandstone in the X~XII groups of Qingshankou Formation can be classified into low amplitude logfacies, middle amplitude logfacies, and sharp high amplitude logfacies.

Sharp high amplitude logfacies sandstone is the tight sandstone of the calcareous cementation.

Low amplitude logfacies sandstone is water layer.

For the middle amplitude logfacies sandstone, water layer or oil-water layer can be identified with the identification standard.

Low amplitude structure, high clay content, high irreducible water saturation, and high formation water salinity are attributed to the origin of low resistivity oil layer.
