A method for determining the permeability of shale gas reservoirs

Abstract

A method of determining the permeability of a shale gas reservoir is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: 1) Obtaining the pore size distribution of the shale core sample under laboratory conditions; 2) Obtaining the nuclear magnetic resonance pore size distribution; 3) Fitting the permeability test data of the shale core sample with the pore structure indicating parameter 4) Based on the NMR logging data, obtain the pore structure indicating parameter value of the shale gas reservoir; 5) Combining with the shale lithofacies classification, the The obtained pore structure indicating parameter values ​​of the shale gas reservoir are substituted into the permeability model established in step 3), so as to obtain the permeability of the shale gas reservoir. The method for determining the permeability of shale gas reservoirs proposed by the invention effectively overcomes the double defects of insufficient estimation of fracture contribution and inability to effectively characterize nano-organic pores in the prior art.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas geophysics, and more specifically, relates to a method for determining the permeability of shale gas reservoirs. Background technique [0002] Shale gas refers to a kind of unconventional natural gas resource that occurs in organic-rich mud shale and other lithological interlayers in the form of free and adsorption. It is widely distributed around the world and has huge reserves. Mining and utilization prospects. [0003] The permeability of shale gas reservoirs is an important parameter in the exploration and development of shale gas. Permeability is not only a key parameter in gas reservoir engineering modeling, but also plays an important role in productivity evaluation. The production process is also critical. [0004] In terms of logging evaluation of shale permeability, foreign countries generally use the method of core calibration to establish regional empirical formulas or models to ...

Problems solved by technology

There are two existing NMR-based permeability models, namely the Coates-bound water permeability model and the SDR-relaxation time permeability model. However, the above model has two shortcomings in shale. One is that the model treats fractures or micro-fractures only as large pores, which does not highlight the impact of fractures or micro-fractures on permeability. The second is that a large number of nano-organic pores are developed in shale gas reservoirs, and the pore size is usually smaller than that of clay pores. When using the above model, the nano-organic pores will be treated as bound fluids. Obviously, this is virtually ignored. The contribution of nano-organic pores to permeability
