The invention provides a method for predicting the
oil content of a
shale oil reservoir. The method comprises the following steps of 1) calculating the organic carbon content of the
shale oil reservoir; 2) calculating the organic carbon content of a non-
coring well or a layer section; 3) testing the
oil content according to a core to obtain a relation between the
oil content and the organic carbon content; 4)
fitting out a relationship between the oil content and a
logging sensitive parameter; 5) according to well area VSP data, acoustic
logging data of
well logging while drilling or production
logging and
transverse wave logging data, calculating a longitudinal and
transverse wave speed ratio, and identifying the fluid properties of the reservoir; 6) identifying a low-resistivity oil layer; 7) performing interpolation calculation on the calculated single-well oil content and organic carbon; and 8) calculating and drawing a regional oil
content distribution map according to the constraint and the false values of the removed oil content and organic carbon. According to the method, the oil content of the
shale oil reservoir can be predicted, the oil content range and the oil content boundary of an oil-containing area can be described, drilling of
infill wells or new wells in an old well area can be guided, and the drilling rate of the reservoir is improved.
