Abstract: It is of great significance for the development of tight oil and gas reservoir to analyze the main factors affecting the permeability of tight sandstone and accurately predict the permeability of tight sandstone. Taking the tight sandstone from Yanchang Formation in Ordos Basin as the research subject,the main controlling factors of tight sandstone permeability were studied based on high-pressure mercury intrusion(HPMI) and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR). The permeability prediction models based on NMR and HPMI were evaluated and optimized respectively. The results show that pore-throat size is the main factor affecting tight sandstone permeability,and the median pore-throat radius size has strongest correlation with tight sandstone permeability. Compared with NMR weighted average T2,geometric mean T2 has stronger correlation with tight sandstone permeability. Among the three different NMR permeability prediction models,SDR-REV model has better permeability prediction results compared with SDR model and KCT2w model. Among the three different HPMI permeability prediction models,the Winland model based on r40 and r45 has the highest permeability prediction results. The research results have guiding significance for the further effective development of tight sandstones of Yanchang Formation in Ordos Basin.

Key words: tight sandstone, permeability, high-pressure mercury intrusion, nuclear magnetic resonance, Yanchang Formation, Ordos Basin
