Abstract: Liuguanzhuang oilfield, located in the Chenghai high slope area on the southern margin of the Qikou Sag, is characterized
by high density, high viscosity, and low saturation crude oil. However, the distribution law of low saturation oil reservoir is
not clear. This type of oil reservoir is difficult to recover and utilize because measures such as thermal recovery and chemical
viscosity reduction generally produce unsatisfactory results. Taking the Liuguanzhuang oilfield as an example, this paper analyzes
the formation mechanisms of low saturation oil reservoir in detail. The study shows that the main controlling factors of the low
saturation oil reservoir in N1g3 include long distance migration of hydrocarbons from the source, strong heterogeneity of the reservoir,and wide and gentle structures. Considered in combination with the enrichment characteristics of the low saturation oil
reservoir, this indicates that the assemblage of Guantao formation unconformity and its overlying basal conglomerate in the high
slope of the Chenghai area, determines the main channel for hydrocarbon migration and also contains the carrier layer for low
saturation oil—an oil-bearing “box”. The hydrocarbon accumulation pattern in the Liuguanzhuang area is dominated by low
saturation oil reservoirs, supplemented by conventional structural and lithologic oil and gas reservoirs, and with “stereoscopic
oil-bearing and integrated as a whole” in the grooves. The development method of “horizontal well + CO2 huff and puff” has been
implemented in a total of ten horizontal wells, with the average production of a single well rising from about 2 t to up to 50 t, and
the recovery factor improving by 7.9%, which is a great benefit for the development of low saturation oil reservoirs in the
Liuguanzhuang oilfield.
