5. Conclusions and Discussions
- (1)
- Some test data of the tight gas reservoirs in the study area are inconsistent with the logging data. Consistent layers are screened out as standard samples with better test quality, and then we establish an identification chart. Then, we mainly carry out the uncertainty analysis of the quality of the test results and the quality classification evaluation for inconsistent layers.
- (2)
- The main reasons for the poor quality of the test results are as follows: differences in construction parameters (sand volume and flowback rate), poor or unsuccessful test results, incomplete flow-back of the working fluid, and difficulty in determining single-layer test results during multi-layer combined testing.
- (3)
- In order to reduce the impact of unreliable test results caused by construction conditions and parameters, a set of judgment standards is proposed. The layer with sand volume higher than 20 m3 and flowback rate higher than 80% has more reliable test quality, which is used as a standard sample for the sand volume–gas/water ratio identification chart to qualitatively identify and correct the fluid type of each perforation section.
- (4)
- According to different gas test results, in the subsequent production and development process, the gas test conclusion of the layer with the test quality of Level I can be directly used as an effective test sample for the second logging interpretation. For Level II, a comprehensive interpretation must be carried out in conjunction with logging conclusions. Level III gas test conclusions are unreliable, the gas-bearing properties of the reservoir must be explained in combination with other data.
- (5)
- When verifying the test quality classification method according to the actual production data, the layers with the level I test quality and the level II test quality obtained good production benefits. The gas test conclusion of level III is unreliable. Although the quality of the gas test results is low, the gas-bearing properties of layers are not absolutely bad. These layers also need to be combined with other well data to determine production; otherwise, favorable gas layers may be ignored. At present, none of these level III layers are in production and cannot be verified by actual production data.
- (6)
- The test quality classification method formed based on the gas–water ratio identification chart can distinguish the pros and cons of the test quality, and provide an effective standard for the inspection of the gas–water identification of the reservoir. However, the specific construction parameters and the operation of the equipment during the gas test also have a certain impact on the judgment of the gas test conclusion. Further, the test conclusions in this study are only divided into three categories: gas layer, gas–water layer and water layer. The gas–water layer can be further divided in the future.
