    Abstract: The exploration of deep-water submarine fan reservoirs has become a prominent research area for hydrocarbon discovery and recovery. However, the high operational costs render efficient exploration of this type of reservoir crucial, and the pivotal foundation lies in studying reservoir architectures. A case study of deep-water submarine fans in the Albacora Leste oilfield in Brazil is presented along with a characterization of the underground reservoir architecture based on well-log and seismic model fitting. A sedimentary microfacies distribution model is systematically established for each reservoir based on a detailed stratigraphic framework with a well-seismic joint characterization method and various types of data (e.g., geological, well-log, and seismic data). The results are as follows: the sedimentary microfacies of the deep-water submarine fans in the study area can be subdivided into tongue-shaped-lobe, muddy-channel, sandy-channel, and contourite deposits. Owing to data abundance and quality constraints, the architecture of the target layer in the study area was characterized based on Level 4 architectural elements. The AB120 Reservoir consisted of three complex channels (I, II, and III) and two tongue-shaped complex lobes (I and II). Complex channels I and III were the first and last to be deposited, respectively, and complex lobe I was deposited earlier than complex lobe II. Complex channels II and III supply complex lobes I and II, respectively. Vertically, complex lobe II was composed of three single lobes formed at different stages, the youngest of which was distributed over the largest area. Complex lobe II has already been drilled and is currently under development. However, complex lobe I has not yet been developed. This study has great practical significance for the effective development of deep-water submarine-fan reservoirs in this area and is of considerable theoretical significance for the advancement of deep-water sedimentology.

    Abstract: Geologists have made several advances in applying multifractal theory in geology; however, some questions such as a large statistical workload and low efficiency remain unanswered. Thus, this study proposes an image recognition–based method for calculating fault multifractality. First, grayscale processing and binarization of the fault distribution map were performed. The image was then gridded, and the grids were numbered. Subsequently, computer image recognition technology was used to count the number of faults in each grid as a replacement for manual counting. Finally, the fractal dimensions of the faults were calculated using a multifractal box-counting algorithm. This method was successfully applied to fracture studies of the Maokou Formation in southeast Sichuan. Compared to the conventional approach, the proposed method demonstrated considerably improved work efficiency and accuracy. The results showed that the faults in the study area exhibited good statistical self-similarity in the scale range, indicating fractal characteristics. The fractal dimensions of faults with different orientations and the planar distribution of the fractal dimension contours indicate tectonic stages and stress magnitude in the study area. The results indicate that the tectonic setting of southeast Sichuan was formed primarily during the Indosinian, Yanshanian, and Himalayan periods. From the Indosinian to the early Yanshanian periods, NE-trending faults with relatively large fractal dimensions developed under NW–SE compressional tectonic stress. From the Late Yanshanian to Early Himalayan, EW-trending faults were formed by relatively weak N–S compressional stress and had the lowest fractal dimensions. The NW-trending faults formed by intense NE–SW compressional tectonic stress in the Late Himalayan region had the highest fractal dimensions. To promote oil and gas migration and ensure that faults do not destroy the caprock, oil and gas reservoirs must be in a relatively mild tectonic environment. Thus, the fractal dimensions of faults in favorable areas should be neither too high nor too low. The relationship between the fractal dimensions of faults and well test results in southeast Sichuan indicates that the region along the wells “ls1–xia14–guan3” (with fractal dimensions of 1.49–1.57) in the study area is a relatively favorable region for oil and gas preservation.

    Abstract: The Upper Cambrian Xixiangchi Formation in the Southern Sichuan Basin, China, has favorable hydrocarbon accumulation conditions. The accumulation factors and enrichment conditions of this formation were key considerations in this study. By analyzing core, thin section, seismic, and geochemical data, the research shows that there are many sets of granular and crystalline dolomite reservoirs in the Xixiangchi Formation vertically, with thin thickness of single-reservoir. During the transformation of karst and tectonism, dissolution pores and fractures developed to form an ideal reservoir space. The reservoir of the Xixiangchi Formation is connected to the Lower Cambrian source rock through a fault system. The high-energy shoal facies of the Xixiangchi Formation are located on the oil and gas migration path, providing an appropriate reservoir space for forming the source reservoir configuration relationship between the lower generation and upper reservoir. The key factors affecting hydrocarbon accumulation in the Xixiangchi Formation are sufficient oil and gas supply, development of inherited paleo-uplift, effective transportation system, and favorable reservoir-forming combination. The inherited paleo-uplift controls the distribution of gas reservoirs. Owing to the short migration distance of oil and gas, hydrocarbon is found near source hydrocarbon accumulation, and the paleo-uplift slope area should be targeted for exploration in future studies.

    Abstract: Shale is a crucial natural gas resource, attracting global exploration and development interest. China has abundant shale gas resources that will drive future oil and gas exploration advances by increasing reserves and production. The WY shale gas field is the most productive and has the greatest potential for exploration and development. This study analyzed high-quality shale logging response characteristics and drilling logging, seismic, and analytical test data in the WY area to establish a rock physical model of seismic attribute parameters and shale reservoir quality parameters. Seismic elastic parameters were converted into indicators that directly reflect shale reservoir quality, such as total organic carbon (TOC), high-quality reservoir thickness, porosity, brittleness index, and crack development strength. Corresponding regression equations were established to predict quality parameters.The results showed that shale reservoir quality parameters have a good correlation with seismic parameters. The TOC distribution ranged from 2% to 5% in the study area and was generally high in the north but low in the south. The high-quality shale reserve had a thickness of over 40 meters, and except for the northwest region, the porosity was nearly over 4%. The overall brittleness of the study area was favorable, and the brittleness index was over 35%, which is suitable for network fractures formation in subsequent fracturing operations. The anisotropy of shale in S 1 l 1I was small, and the overall fractures were underdeveloped in the study area. Drilling verifications showed that the prediction results of the quality parameters of high-quality shale reservoirs were consistent with actual drilling test results with high reliability. This study provides guidance for comprehensive prediction of sweet spots and subsequent fracturing and well location deployment.In summary, this study provides valuable insights into shale gas exploration and development in the WY area by establishing a rock physical model, predicting quality parameters, and offering guidance for fracturing and well location deployment.
