标题：Rapid Identification of Interwell Fracture-Cavity Combination Structure in Fracture-Cavity Reservoir Based on Tracer-Curve Morphological Characteristics
摘要：Rapid and effective identification of interwell fracture-cavity composite structures is a necessary prerequisite for a detailed and in-depth understanding of interwell connectivity in fracture-cavity reservoirs. Current identification methods and technologies have the problems of being large-scale and low-resolution; in view of these problems, a method is proposed for rapidly identifying interwell fracture-cavity combination structures using tracer-curve morphological characteristics (peak number and characteristics of two wings). Based on concentration models of tracer curves for an interwell single fracture/pipe/cavity, the morphological characteristics of tracer curves were researched in five different series-parallel combination modes consisting of fractures, pipes, and cavities. The tracer curves of fracture-cavity reservoirs are categorized into three types: single sharp peak, single slow peak, and multipeak. Furthermore, a matching relationship between different fracture-cavity combination structures and the morphological characteristics of tracer curves is clarified. The single-sharp-peak curve with basically symmetrical wings reflects that of an interwell single fracture/pipe; the single-slow-peak curve with a steep ascending branch and a slow descending branch (obvious trailing phenomenon) reflects that of an interwell single cavity or fracture/pipe series cavity; the multipeak curve reflects that of an interwell multifracture/pipe/cavity in parallel; according to the flow difference of each branch flow channel, they can be divided into independent multipeak and continuous multipeak forms. Taking tracer monitoring results from a well group in the Tahe oilfield as an example, field application analysis and verification were carried out. The results show that this method is simple and reliable and can provide a fast and effective means for identifying interwell fracture-cavity combination structures. Meanwhile, the research results can lay a foundation for quantitative interpretation modeling of interwell tracers in fracture-cavity reservoirs considering fracture-cavity configuration.
