Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of shale oil exploration and development technology, and in particular to a method for testing the boundary between the seepage zone and the fluid supply zone of a layered shale matrix. Background Technology
[0002] Laminated shale exhibits diverse reservoir spaces, featuring various pore types, bedding fractures, and tectonic fractures. A key characteristic distinguishing laminated shale from tight sandstone is the presence of numerous nanopores and micron-sized microfractures within the matrix. The simultaneous existence of these two large reservoir space types in the matrix results in two zones during seepage: the matrix seepage zone and the matrix fluid supply zone. The matrix seepage zone, supplying fluid, determines the seepage capacity of the shale matrix, while the matrix fluid supply zone provides fluid to the matrix seepage zone, forming the flow pattern of the shale oil matrix. Accurately defining the boundaries between the matrix seepage zone and the matrix fluid supply zone in laminated shale, quantitatively characterizing the pore volume of the matrix seepage zone, and clarifying which factors control flow and supply fluid to matrix microfractures during shale oil matrix flow are crucial for optimizing shale oil production rates, development methods, and production capacity prediction.
[0003] Chinese patent application 201710702054.6 discloses a multi-field coupled seepage multifunctional experimental device, comprising a device body, a stress field control system, a temperature field control system, a fluid loading control system, and a fluid seepage measurement system. It also discloses the use of a multi-field coupled state of temperature field, stress field, pore pressure field, and seepage field to conduct seepage experiments on tight gas, shale gas, tight oil, shale oil, natural gas hydrate, and geothermal energy. The beneficial effects of this invention are: it not only meets the temperature and pressure requirements of tight gas, shale gas, tight oil, and shale oil, but more importantly, it meets the low-temperature requirement for natural gas hydrate flow testing while also meeting the high-temperature requirement for geothermal extraction; it simulates a real geological environment and can complete seepage experiments on the extraction of unconventional energy sources such as tight gas, shale gas, tight oil, shale oil, natural gas hydrate, and hot dry rock using the same equipment. While this method realizes a multi-field coupled seepage multifunctional experimental device, it cannot distinguish between the seepage zone and the fluid supply zone in layered shale.
[0004] Chinese patent application 201910137987.4 discloses a numerical simulation method and apparatus for shale oil flow, belonging to the field of unconventional oil and gas field development engineering technology. The numerical simulation method and apparatus provided by this invention describes the flow characteristics of shale oil production processes in different occurrence states by establishing a reaction model, including the seepage of free crude oil, the adsorption and desorption behavior of adsorbed miscible crude oil in organic matter, and the influence of capillary forces on the occurrence state of dissolved gas. Combined with indoor physical simulation experiments, parameters such as chemical reaction equations, reaction rates, and reaction orders are determined (and each parameter is calibrated). Finally, using reservoir numerical simulation methods, a numerical simulation model considering the complex flow mechanism of shale oil is established, thereby simulating the seepage characteristics of unconventional shale oil. This method can simulate the seepage characteristics of unconventional shale oil, but it cannot distinguish between the seepage zone and the supply zone in layered shale.
[0005] Chinese patent application 201410536314.3 discloses a method for evaluating and predicting the production capacity of shale gas wells, comprising the following steps: obtaining the differential equation expression of a single-phase seepage mathematical model; solving the differential equation and expressing it in pressure form to obtain the seepage velocity and production formulas; determining the production capacity equation by fitting production data; refining the previously derived production formula to obtain the production capacity formula for staged fracturing of shale gas horizontal wells; from the shale gas production formula, it is known that the boundary pressure pe needs to be known; due to the influence of adsorption and desorption of shale gas, the deviation coefficient needs to be corrected to obtain the formation pressure of the shale gas reservoir. This prediction method, considering the desorption and diffusion characteristics of shale gas, derives the production capacity equations for both vertical and horizontal shale wells, thereby establishing a shale gas production capacity evaluation method, obtaining accurate production capacity prediction, and improving economic efficiency.

[0019] Step 2 also includes weighing the high-pressure saturated shale sample in air to obtain the wet shale sample weight m. s The saturated sample was completely immersed in kerosene and weighed to obtain the mass m1.
[0020] In step 3, the shale pore volume V is calculated. p The formula for calculating porosity φ is:
[0021] V p =(m s -m g ) / ρ o
[0022] φ=V p / (m s -m l ) / ρ o ×100

[0027] In step 5, the seepage capacity of each pore is calculated based on the pore diameter and pore volume ratio of the shale, and the total seepage capacity of the shale matrix is obtained by accumulating and superimposing the results.
[0028] In step 5, the seepage capacity S of each pore is calculated based on the shale pore diameter and pore volume ratio.

When determining the boundary between the seepage zone and the liquid supply zone of the laminated shale matrix, the air permeability of the washed-oil laminated shale core is measured. Then, the laminated shale is saturated with fluid under high pressure to obtain the shale pore volume and porosity. Next, the saturated shale sample is subjected to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments to obtain T2 spectra and thus the shale pore structure. The seepage capacity of each pore is calculated based on the pore diameter and pore volume ratio. These values are accumulated to obtain the total seepage capacity of the shale matrix and the seepage capacity of the shale matrix with pores smaller than 1 μm. The seepage capacity is then accumulated from pores smaller than 1 μm towards smaller pore diameters. When the accumulated seepage capacity reaches 99%, the corresponding pore diameter is considered the boundary between the matrix seepage zone and the matrix liquid supply zone. The pore volume and porosity corresponding to the matrix seepage zone are then calculated. Compared with existing technologies, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0042] This method, when determining the seepage capacity of shale matrix, divides the interconnected pores of shale into two parts based on their primary role in shale flow: a matrix seepage zone and a matrix fluid supply zone. The boundaries between these two zones are determined through experimental techniques such as high-pressure saturation and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), as well as theoretical calculations. This allows for the quantitative characterization of the pores in the layered shale matrix that play a seepage role, yielding the pore volume occupied by the shale matrix seepage zone. This invention provides effective technical support for calculating the seepage capacity of shale oilfields, understanding seepage mechanisms, and predicting production capacity.
