With the advancement of social economy and science and technology, the demand for oil and gas resources has been increasing in daily life and industry. Tight sandstone reservoirs have been the priority targets for the exploration and production of oil and gas resources. However, there still exist many challenges in assessing the parameters and quality of tight sandstone reservoirs. This study conducted experiments on the physical properties, pore structures, and electrical properties of rock samples from the Taiyuan Formation in the Shenmu gas field of the Ordos Basin. Based on this, it established a porosity-permeability relationship model, a capillary pressure prediction model, and a classification saturation assessment model. Besides, it obtained the relative permeability of gas and water phases, which varied point by point, from wells based on the I-Kr model. This study proposed the factors for assessing reservoir quality, which were applied to the target interval in the study area considering the physical properties, pore structures, and multiphase seepage capacity, yielding satisfactory assessment results. Therefore, the method of this study provides a reliable basis for the log-based assessment of the quality of tight sandstone reservoirs.
