Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The recent increase in crude oil and natural gas prices has resulted in renewed interest in the search for hydrocarbons. For this reason, analysis and modeling of petroleum systems are modern tools of petroleum exploration that allows to increase energy resources. The petroleum system is a concept that encompasses all elements and processes of petroleum geology leading to finding of new deposits. Practical application of an idea of petroleum systems can be used in exploration, resource evaluation, and pure research. A petroleum system includes all the geologic elements and processes that are essential if an oil and gas accumulation is to exist. Such systems describes the interdependent elements and processes that form the functional unit that creates hydrocarbon accumulations. The essential elements of a petroleum system include: source rock; reservoir rock; seal rock;  overburden rock. Petroleum systems have two major processes: trap formation and generation-migration-accumulation of hydrocarbons. These essential elements and processes must be correctly placed in time and space so that organic matter included in a source rock can be converted into a petroleum accumulation. In this Special Issue we would like to provide new insight into petroleum systems in different geological setting

A giant, ultra-deep (>7000 m) strike-slip fault-related oilfield has been found in the central depression of the Tarim Basin. However, little research has addressed this discovery to understand the fault effects on the oil migration, which constrains the oil exploitation deployment and well optimization. Based on fault modeling and fluid analysis, we present the effects of fault segment on the oil segmentation and migration in the ultra-deep Fuman Oilfield. The results show a distinct fault segmentation and also subsequent variable fault architecture and non-connected fracture network other than a through-going fault zone. There are fault segment-related isolated fractured reservoirs and fluid variation along the fault strike, which indicates that a large oilfield comprises a series of unconnected small oil reservoirs along the fault segments. The fluid segmentation and molecular indicator of dibenzothiophenes reveal that there is a variable petroleum lateral migration along the strike-slip fault segment. The fault segmentation is a major contribution in the varied oil accumulation along the strike-slip fault zone in Fuman Oilfield. This case study suggests that fault segmentation has variable effects on petroleum migration and accumulation along the strike-slip zone. Full article

The existing productivity models of staged fractured horizontal wells in tight oil reservoir are mainly linear flow models based on the idealized dual-medium fracture network structure, which have a certain limitation when applied to the production prediction. Aiming at the difficulty in describing the shape of the complex fractal fracture network, a two-dimensional heterogeneous structure model of the fracture network is proposed in this paper. Considering the deformation characteristics of porous media and the characteristic of non-Darcy fluid flow, a three-zone steady-state productivity model with the combination of radial and linear flow is established. To eliminate strong nonlinear characteristics of the mathematical model, a fractional step method is employed to deduce the production formulas of staged fractured horizontal wells under infinite and finite conductivity fractures. The established productivity model is verified with the actual data of three horizontal wells in different blocks of S oilfield, and the error between the model calculation results and the actual production data is less than 4%. The analysis results of productivity sensitive factors show that production of horizontal wells is primarily influenced by the reservoir physical properties and fracturing parameters. The steady-state productivity model established in this study can be applied to effectively predict the average production of a horizontal well in stable stage of production, and it has theoretical and practical application value for improving the development effect of tight oil reservoir.
