description Tight sand is an important unconventional reservoir. Aiming at the problem of large unused reserves and the poor development effect of Chang 63 reservoir, this paper researches reunderstanding reservoir and evaluating unused reserves. Employing rock slice and scanning electron microscope (SEM), the experiment of low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), water-oil relative permeability experiment, reservoir space, movable fluid, and oil-water seepage characteristics was studied. The factors affecting NMR T2 cutoff, controlling factors of movable fluids, and controlling factors of displacing efficiency in tight sandstone reservoirs are discussed. The study demonstrates that (1) the mean pore volume and permeability are 4.4% and 0.068 mD, respectively. The reservoir pertains to tight sandstone, mainly intergranular pore and dissolution pore, and the intercalated materials are mainly chlorite and illite. (2) The characteristic of the NMR T2 spectrum has bimodal characteristics and can be subdivided into two classes: left peak dominant and right peak dominant. The mean value of mobile fluid saturation was 17.9%. (3) According to the relative permeability curve pattern, it is divided into four categories, and the mean bound water saturation is 29.9%. The average irreducible oil saturation was 40.6%. The mean oil flooding efficiency was 40.2%. (4) The better the pore-throat relationship, the lower the T2 cutoff, the stronger ability of the fluid migration ability, and the higher of a percentage of active fluid. The percentage of active fluid in a low-permeability reservoir is affected by the reservoir’s physical property and pore structure.
