Abstract: In view of the strong heterogeneity of the fine reservoir development, taking reservoirs in Qianjiang Formation, Jianghan Basin as the study object, a classification evaluation system of reservoir quantitative indicators was established in combination with the characteristic parameters of improved capillary pressure curve and the basic core parameters, and the effective reservoir thickness was organically combined with logging curve to develop a new method of normalization of capillary pressure curve family. The results showed that the classification evaluation system of reservoir quantitative indicators based on the improved capillary pressure curve mainly included five quantitative indicators: permeability, starting pressure, transitional pressure, median pressure and proportion; the reservoirs in Qianjiang Formation were subdivided into Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅵ types; Types Ⅰ and Ⅱ were the reservoirs with the best permeability, accounting for 41.17% of the all reservoirs, Types Ⅲ and Ⅳ were mainly the reservoirs with medium and low permeability, accounting for more than 50.00%, Types V and VI were the reservoirs with extra (super) low permeability, accounting for only 7.77%; the normalization method of capillary pressure curve family based on effective thickness was simple in calculation and low in errors, providing a basis for the characterization and comparison of reservoir characteristic parameters after reservoir classification and evaluation.
