Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shale hydrocarbon generation process, and in particular to a method for constructing the relationship between the hydrocarbon generation process and pore structure of low-maturity continental shale. Background Art
[0002] Shale oil and gas are a key type of unconventional oil and gas, playing a crucial role in transforming the energy mix. Because marine shales generally have a higher degree of organic matter maturity, most have already experienced peak hydrocarbon generation, making it impossible to fully recover their entire hydrocarbon generation process. Continental shales, on the other hand, generally have lower organic matter maturity, making them ideal candidates for hydrocarbon generation research.
[0003] Thermal simulation is commonly used to characterize and characterize the hydrocarbon generation process in shale. Most existing thermal simulation experiments extract kerogen from organic matter in shale, making it difficult to measure changes in pore structure, pore diameter, and pore connectivity at various stages. This results in deficiencies in the study of pore evolution during hydrocarbon generation. Summary of the Invention

Under the same experimental conditions, the present invention uses gold tube thermal simulation of kerogen samples to establish the hydrocarbon generation process of low-maturity continental shale, and uses gold tube thermal simulation of water-added plunger samples combined with micro-nano CT scanning and reconstruction to characterize the pore structure and morphology characteristics, thereby obtaining the correspondence between the hydrocarbon generation process of low-maturity continental shale and pore evolution. This can thus identify the dominant development temperature range or maturity range of shale oil and gas, clarify the reaction stages experienced and the pore change characteristics, and provide new ideas for the future reproduction of the hydrocarbon generation process of continental shale gas, the exploration of hydrocarbon generation mechanisms, and the dynamic evaluation and prediction of resources.
[0026] At the same time, most existing hydrocarbon generation thermal simulation experiments extract kerogen from organic matter in shale. Furthermore, regardless of whether the system is closed, open, or semi-closed / semi-open, most experiments focus on dry samples, with few experiments involving water-added samples. However, water plays a crucial role in mineral transformation and diagenetic reactions, leading to discrepancies between laboratory simulation results and those obtained under real geological conditions. The present invention uses water-added plunger samples for gold tube thermal simulation, which can approximate real geological conditions and ensure that pore evolution characteristics more closely match those obtained under real geological conditions.

[0060] The construction method of the relationship between the hydrocarbon generation process and the pore structure of the low matured continental shale provided by the invention will be described in detail in combination with the embodiments below, but they cannot be understood as the limitation on the protection scope of the invention.
[0061] Example 1
[0062] Low matured continental shale samples with different organic matter types in the Qaidam Basin are selected for experiments. The information of the samples is shown in Table 1.
[0063] Table 1 Information of experimental samples
[0064]
[0065] The relationship between the hydrocarbon generation process and the pore structure of the low matured continental shale is characterized by the following method:
[0066] Step 1: Select low maturity (Ro < 0.7%) continental shale samples, prepare 23 sample plungers, select one plunger for TOC (total organic carbon), Ro, and organic matter type determination; select the remaining 22 plungers, divide them into two groups, one group is water-added, and the other group is water-free, the water-free group is a control sample. In addition, extract one kerogen sample into 11 parts for thermal simulation experiment preparation;
[0067] Step 2: Add the sample to the gold tube. According to the hydrocarbon generation characteristics of organic matter, set 11 experimental temperature points, namely 100℃, 200℃, 300℃, 325℃, 350℃, 375℃, 400℃, 450℃, 500℃, 550℃, and 600℃. Set the heating rate to 2℃ / h and the pressure to 18MPa.
[0068] Step 3: Take out one sample at each designed temperature point for subsequent analysis, and continue heating the remaining samples until the last set temperature point is reached, and the heating process is completed;
[0069] Step 4: Collect gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons from the kerogen sample gold tubes, determine their yields, and determine hydrocarbon C, H, and N isotopes. Simultaneously, perform SEM sample preparation (including argon ion polishing and coating), micro-nano CT scanning, and data reconstruction on the plunger samples.
[0070] Step 5: Determine the porosity, pore-throat ratio, organic matter content and distribution characteristics through micro-nano CT scanning and data reconstruction; observe the changes in mineral distribution, organic matter distribution and pore evolution through scanning electron microscopy.
[0071] Step 6: Conduct comprehensive data analysis. First, analyze the hydrocarbon generation characteristics of samples at different temperature stages, including hydrocarbon generation amount and hydrocarbon generation rate, to establish the complete process of hydrocarbon generation of the samples. Second, analyze the pore evolution of samples at corresponding temperature stages, including pore distribution, pore size range and changes in pore connectivity. Finally, form a detailed characterization of the terrestrial shale hydrocarbon generation process and the corresponding pore structure.
[0072] The hydrocarbon generation process and pore evolution, as well as the detailed characterization of the hydrocarbon generation process and corresponding pore structure of continental shale are as follows:
[0073] (1) Hydrocarbon generation process
[0074] The gaseous hydrocarbon production characteristics of different types of kerogen at the same heating rate are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in Figure 2, the liquid hydrocarbon production characteristics of different types of kerogen at the same heating rate are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Figure 1 、 2 As can be seen, the gas hydrocarbon curves for different kerogen types vary. Type I kerogen gas hydrocarbon production characteristics are divided into three stages: slow, fast, and slow. The gas hydrocarbon production curve for Type II kerogen is similar to that for Type I kerogen, but differs in that Type II kerogen production increases slowly before 300°C, then rapidly increases between 300°C and 470°C. Although gas hydrocarbon yield decreases between 470°C and 600°C, it is still better than that of Type I kerogen. Type III kerogen gas hydrocarbon yield increases rapidly from the outset and remains in this rapid growth phase. Overall, the gas hydrocarbon yield of Type I kerogen > Type III kerogen > Type II kerogen.
[0075] In terms of liquid hydrocarbons, the liquid hydrocarbon production curves of the three types of kerogens show similar trends, but the liquid hydrocarbon production of Type I kerogen is much greater than that of Type II and Type III kerogens. Type II kerogen has a wider temperature range for liquid hydrocarbon generation than Type III kerogen and has a higher yield.
[0076] Carbon isotope characteristics of methane in different types of kerogens Figures 3-5 shown. Figure 3 is the methane carbon isotope characteristic of type I kerogen, Figure 4 is the methane carbon isotope signature of type II kerogen. Figure 5 is the methane carbon isotope characteristic of type III kerogen. Figures 3-5 It can be seen that the carbon isotope values of Type I kerogen are lighter than those of Type II kerogen, which in turn are lighter than those of Type III kerogen. Secondly, with increasing pyrolysis temperature, both types of methane carbon isotopes exhibit an evolutionary pattern of first becoming lighter and then heavier. This pattern is consistent with previous experimental results, but the evolutionary processes differ.
[0077] (2) Pore evolution
[0078] Scanning electron microscopy images of water column samples at different temperatures are shown in Figure 2. Figure 6 As shown. Figure 6 As can be seen, at 20°C, due to the low maturity of organic matter, hydrocarbon generation has yet to occur in significant quantities, and the conversion of clay minerals is limited. The pores in the shale are primarily microfractures, intragranular primary pores, intergranular solution pores, and mineral intercrystalline pores, while organic pores are underdeveloped. As the temperature increases, at 100°C, the porosity within the organic matter begins to increase, primarily macropores, with a small amount of mesopores also developing. Pore connectivity is moderate. At 200°C, the porosity within the organic matter increases significantly, and pore connectivity is established. At 300°C, the porosity within the organic matter increases rapidly, becoming extremely well-developed, from micropores to macropores, with pores interconnected in a network or honeycomb pattern. At 400°C, the porosity within the organic matter further develops, but notably, pore collapse is observed, compromising pore connectivity. At 500°C, while the porosity increases further, pore collapse becomes increasingly severe, and pore connectivity decreases.
[0079] The 350℃ water column sample was cut into 200.1μm×200.1μm×300.1μm samples for micron CT scanning test and reconstruction. The 350℃ water column sample core three-dimensional reconstruction image is shown in Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the pore extraction diagram of the core sample with water column at 350℃ is as follows Figure 8 The pore connectivity diagram of the core sample with water added at 350℃ is shown in Figure 9 The pore diameter distribution histogram of the water column sample at 350℃ is shown in Figure 10 As shown in Figure 2, the porosity of the 350℃ water column sample is 0.95%, the pore connectivity is poor, and the pore diameter distribution is about 1 to 2 μm.
[0080] The pore connectivity diagram of the 350℃ water column-free core sample is shown in the figure below. Figure 11 It can be seen that compared with the pore connectivity of the core sample with water column at 350℃, the porosity of the sample without water column is lower and the pore connectivity is poorer.
[0081] (3) Detailed characterization of the hydrocarbon generation process of continental shales and the corresponding pore structure
[0082] Through comprehensive analysis, the hydrocarbon generation process of continental shale and the corresponding pore structure characterization results are as follows Figure 12 Based on this model, we can identify the dominant temperature range or maturity range for shale oil and gas development, and clearly identify the reaction stages and pore change characteristics experienced.
[0083] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
