The exploration and exploitation practices in the Sichuan Basin in recent years indicate that breakthroughs have been achieved in the Jurassic continental tight sandstones.Nevertheless,due to the low porosity and permeability of tight sandstone,conventional post-stack inversion frequently exhibits limited resolution,failing to meet the accuracy requirements for the prediction of actual exploration reservoirs.This necessitates pre-stack inversion for detailed characterization of tight sandstones,while S-wave velocity is crucial to pre-stack inversion.Based on continental exploration wells drilled in the southeastern Sichuan Basin in recent years,this study developed a petrophysical modeling technique for dense sandstones in this region.Specifically,given the low permeability of tight sandstones and the uneven mixing of fluids in the pore space,the Domenico model was preferentially employed to calculate the pore fluid modulus.Although fluid modulus and density are inevitably variable under the actual subsurface conditions,previous studies typically use constant values to conduct petrophysical modeling for tight sandstones.In this study,depth-dependent values were applied.Tight sandstones in the southeastern Sichuan Basin generally exhibit a porosity of less than 10%.Therefore,calculations using the Nur and the Krief models will yield high errors.Given this,this study preferred using the Lee-Pride model to calculate the skeleton modulus and controlled the relationship between the rock matrix and the skeleton by introducing the value of the cementation parameter.The application of the established petrophysical model of tight sandstone to an actual survey area indicates high agreement with data from actual wells.Additionally,based on log statistics,Poisson's ratio,the most sensitive parameter is used for high-precision pre-stack inversion in the proposed technique,enabling detailed characterization and prediction of the internal structure of channel sandstones.
