摘要
Gypsum rocks have extremely low permeability and good pressure sealing capability, and they are widely distributed in different strata all over the world. A deep-thick gypsum cap rock is developed in the Paleogene formation of the southwestern Tarim Basin in China. The regions below the gypsum rocks have huge potential for oil and gas resources. Casing deformation and blockage during tripping operations often occur during the drilling process in the gypsum bed, which severely affects the efficient drilling of deep oil and gas. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively assess the geostress field of gypsum cap rocks under high-stress background conditions. Through triaxial synchronized mechanical and acoustic testing experiments, high-stress formation environments were simulated and the mechanical parameters of gypsum rocks were obtained. We used dispersion correction technology to transform the measured high-frequency (1 MHz) wave velocities of the samples to the wave velocities of well-logging frequency (20 kHz). The transformed wave velocities can be used for the well-logging assessment of rock mechanical parameters and geostress. We built well-logging interpretation models for the shear-wave slowness, mechanical parameters and geostress of the Paleogene gypsum rocks. Each model showed high assessment accuracy. Combined with the paleomagnetic analysis of the Paleogene gypsum bed and the results of the fast shear-wave direction analysis, radial expansion position analysis and induced fracture analysis on the reservoir below the Paleogene gypsum bed, we suggest that the direction of geostress in the study region is NW10 degrees. Three-dimensional finite element method was used to simulate the geostress field of the gypsum bed. The Paleogene formation in the study region does not have faults. The geostress distribution of the gypsum rock layer is mainly controlled by structural relief, burial depth, and lithology. This study provided a typical example of a comprehensive assessment of the geostress field of deep-thick gypsum cap rocks.
