Abstract

Siliceous dolomite is developed at the top of the fourth member of Dengying Formation in Penglai gas field, Sichuan Province, and can be used as a good cap rock to seal oil and gas. In this study, based on post-stack seismic data mining and optimization, sensitive logging curve analysis is found to be the optimal prediction method, subdividing small layers to finely characterize thin-layer siliceous dolomite. It is found that the navigation-pyramid two-stage classification seismic data and the waveform indication simulation method based on RXO parameters have a good recognition effect on the characterization of thin-layer siliceous dolomite. Studies have shown that faults can provide ascending channels for deep silicon-rich hydrothermal fluids, resulting in the development of siliceous dolomite mostly near the fault zone. The siliceous dolomite in the upper sub-member of the fourth member of Dengying Formation in Penglai area mainly develops two sets of siliceous dolomite in the vertical direction, and the lower siliceous rock develops on a larger scale. In the lateral direction, it is mainly distributed in the JT1-PS7-P8-PS9 well area in the north, in a continuous sheet shape. In the south, the development scale of siliceous dolomite is small and distributed in the shape of a strip.
