Characteristics and favorable area optimization of ultra-deep high-pressure basement reservoirs: A case study of Kun 2 block in Kunteyi gas reservoir, Qaidam Basin by CAO Hui, ZHANG Guoqing, XU Li, LI Zhexiang, WANG Haicheng, ZHAO Changyang, FEI Ying

“…The prediction of maximum likelihood attributes revealed that high-angle fractures were mainly located on the upthrown side of faults, exhibiting an 85% consistency rate with imaging logging results. Additionally, the structure tensor-acoustic impedance inversion revealed that zones of dissolution pore development aligned closely with fault orientations, thereby validating the controlling mechanism of fault activity on dissolution process. (4) Based on reservoir classification and evaluation criteria, along with seismic prediction and dynamic production data, this study proposed a reservoir development model of “fault-controlled fractures, fracture-controlled pores” for the first time, indicating structurally high positions on upthrown side as the core zones of natural gas accumulation. …”
