  • Patent number: 10422733
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for testing wettability of tight oil reservoir. The method comprises: by using a nuclear magnetic resonance testing method, testing nuclear magnetic resonance maps of the tight oil reservoir in the saturated water state and in the saturated oil state; by using the nuclear magnetic resonance maps, analyzing a water-wetting degree and an oil-wetting degree of the tight oil reservoir; calculating a mixed wettability index of the tight oil reservoir, and estimating the wettability of the tight oil reservoir according to the mixed wettability index. This disclosure can effectively improve testing efficiency, quantitatively analyze the water-wetting degree and the oil-wetting degree of the tight oil reservoir, and improve accuracy of testing results.

  • Publication number: 20180088016
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for testing wettability of dense oil reservoir. The method comprises: by using a nuclear magnetic resonance testing method, testing nuclear magnetic resonance maps of the dense oil reservoir in the saturated water state and in the saturated oil state; by using the nuclear magnetic resonance maps, analyzing a water-wetting degree and an oil-wetting degree of the dense oil reservoir; calculating a mixed wettability index of the dense oil reservoir, and estimating the wettability of the dense oil reservoir according to the mixed wettability index. This disclosure can effectively improve testing efficiency, quantitatively analyze the water-wetting degree and the oil-wetting degree of the dense oil reservoir, and improve accuracy of testing results.
