The experimental study on the in-situ stress of SongNan block

In view of the low pressure tight gas reservoir in Songnan block, the comprehensive experiment of in-situ stress is carried out. Firstly, the tuffaceous breccia of Longshen 301 and 307 has been cored and the flag line is depicted. Through the viscous remanence experiment, the secondary viscous remanence component at 0 degrees C similar to 200 degrees C is gradually separated, and the average direction of the two groups core flag line are obtained, which are 92.0 degrees and 114.7 degrees. Then to mark the flag line as the baseline, using the wave velocity anisotropy experiment to measure the acoustic wave velocity under different phase angle, the minimum wave velocity phase angle of the two groups core are achieved, which are 23 degrees and 44 degrees. And combined with the direction of the flag line, the direction of maximum horizontal principal stress are determined for N69 degrees E and N70.7 degrees E. Finally, using DSA (differential strain) experiment, the strain recovery of 9 direction under hydrostatic pressure are measured, and the three principal strain, the magnitude and direction of the principal stress are obtained through the inversion, the maximum principal stress direction of which are N70.8 degrees E and N71.7 degrees E. Compared the wave velocity anisotropy experiments and DSA experimental results, both close, the direction of the regional maximum horizontal in-situ stress is determined for N70.5 degrees E +/- 1.5 degrees. According to the above research results, the basis for the engineering design of Songnan block such as oil and gas exploration, development, drilling and production is provided.
