Abstract

The Longfengshan structural belt lies in the southern Changling Depression. The Yingcheng Formation is the primary gas-bearing unit. The Yingcheng Formation has low permeability and contains deep, tight gas that is challenging to extract. Industrial gas flow has been achieved from the B218 and B220 well blocks in the sandstone layer of the first member of Yingcheng Formation (Ying I), indicating the potential of this sandstone group for gas production. Although oil and gas are widely distributed in the Ying I sandstone layer, production capacity varies significantly across the formation. into six sublayers. Drilling, logging, and laboratory testing data were integrated to subdivide the Ying I sandstone layer into six sublayers. Core and well logging analyses indicate a braided river delta depositional environment. Data and seismic inversion identify the Ying I-5 sublayer as the primary exploration target. The effective reservoir in the eastern fan body, where porosity ranges from 5% to 13% and maximum effective thickness reaches 34 m. This study basis for optimizing well placement and estimating gas reserve parameters in the Ying I sandstone layer of the Longfengshan area. The findings can guide the development of other tight gas reservoirs.
