Abstract As confirmed by exploration and development, many low-resistivity gas zones exist in the upper portion of layer Q3c of the H Formation in structure A of Sag X. Given the problems such as unclear understanding of the geological sedimentary environment, insufficient microcosmic knowledge about the reservoirs, and unclear causes of the low resistivity of the gas zones, this study conducted extensive research based on the log data of three wells in the study area, as well as the data on drilling and many petrophysical experiments. Specifically, the petrological and physical property characteristics of the study area were studied using the thin-section identification data; the genetic mechanisms of low-resistivity gas zones were studied using the well tie sections and the special log data, as well as the data of many petrophysical experiments; the formation mechanisms of low-resistivity gas zones were confirmed from the microscopic visualization scale by constructing a multi-component conductivity model using the digital core technique, and the contributions of various low-resistivity geneses to the decrease in resistivity were quantitatively analyzed through the finite element-based electrical simulations. As indicated by the study results, the low-resistivity response of the gas zones in the study area is caused by the presence of clay minerals with high clay content and high cation exchange capacity and also results from the complex pore structure formed under the favorable physical property conditions in the anomalous high-pressure depositional setting. The contributions of the clay additional conductivity and the complex pore structure to the low resistivity are 35.63% and up to 64.37%, respectively. The electrical simulation results are consistent with the log-derived electrical characteristics, verifying the genetic mechanisms of the low-resistivity gas zones in the upper portion of the Q3c.
