摘要
The architecture of intraplate strike-slip faults plays an important role in controlling reservoir properties as well as hydrocarbon migration and accumulation. In the process of exploration and development of strike-slip fault-controlled fracturing reservoirs, the architecture of the strike-slip fault zone needs to be characterized because of its high heterogeneity. Taking strike-slip fault zones of the Yanchang Formation of the Jinghe oilfield in the southern Ordos basin as an example, in this paper it conducted fault segmentation along the fault strike and lateral zonation along the fault dip by integrating core, logging and seismic data. In this paper it puts forward a method to quantitatively detect damage zone boundaries by cumulative curves of comprehensive fracture index log (CFI) and fault shape index attribute (FSI). The results show that strike-slip fault zones of the Yanchang Formation in the Jinghe oilfield are mainly composed of transtensional and strike-slip segments, and transpressional segments are rarely developed. CFI and FSI are positively correlated with fracture density, and damage zone boundaries can be detected according to the gradient change of the cumulative curves of CFI and FSI. The width of a single fault within the strike-slip fault zones in the Yanchang Formation of the Jinghe oilfield is mainly between 160−300 m, and the average width of transtensional segments is the largest, followed by transpressional and strike-slip segments. © 2023 China University of Geosciences.
