The invention discloses a method for evaluating
compressibility of a
shale gas reservoir. The method sequentially comprises the following steps of (1) calculating a shale
brittleness index Brit, (2), calculating a shale
fracture toughness index Kn, (3), calculating a natural weak plane opening facility index Pn, (4), calculating a natural weak plane penetrated index Cn, (5), introducing a complex seam net probability index Fcf and a transforming volume probability index Fsrv, and determining a reservoir
compressibility index FI, (6), according to the size of the reservoir
compressibility index FI, evaluating the compressibility of a block shale reservoir. According to the method, various compressibility influence factors are considered, and particularly on the basis of a seam net forming mechanism, the influence of the natural weak plane is fully considered; the shortcomings of an existing evaluation method are overcome, and
logging data are utilized for calculating
brittleness and breaking
toughness of the
shale gas reservoir; and the dependency on experimental data is reduced. The method is used for evaluating the reservoir quality of a fractured well, has feasibility and accuracy and provides a new
decision making method for facture well selecting and layer selecting of the
shale gas reservoir.
