Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas field development technology, and in particular to a method and system for calculating the contribution rate of organic matter porosity in marine shale. Background Technology

[0002] In shale gas reservoirs, organic matter pores are considered the most important pore type. Organic matter pores not only provide the conditions necessary for hydrocarbon generation but also provide a site for shale gas preservation, determining the amount of gas produced and adsorbed by the shale, making them a key focus of shale gas research.

[0003] Currently, the evaluation of organic matter porosity is divided into two types: qualitative and quantitative. (1) Qualitative analysis of organic matter porosity characteristics is performed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FET). (2) Quantitative analysis of shale reservoir and organic matter porosity is performed using techniques such as low-temperature gas (carbon dioxide and nitrogen) adsorption and mercury intrusion porosimetry. However, the characteristics of organic matter porosity structure are not yet clear. Although FET can obtain the porosity of organic matter through microscopic observation, the accuracy of organic matter porosity is reduced due to the limitations of the resolution of the scanning electron microscope and the heterogeneity of organic matter. Low-temperature gas (carbon dioxide and nitrogen) adsorption and mercury intrusion porosimetry can characterize the full-size porosity of shale, but they only quantitatively characterize the pore structure of shale and organic matter, and only evaluate the influence of organic matter on the porosity complexity of shale. There are no reports on the treatment and analysis of the relationship between shale and organic matter. The present invention provides a method for calculating the contribution rate of organic pores in marine shale, which can accurately calculate the contribution rate of organic matter to the specific surface area and pore volume of pores in the shale pore system, providing an effective basis for evaluating the structural characteristics of organic matter and strengthening the shale gas reservoir assessment system.

[0076] (1) By collecting the average TOC and average pore volume of the same target shale and organic matter from different regions, the constant C1 value can be determined by multiplying the ratio of the average shale pore volume to the average organic matter pore volume by the average organic matter pore volume fraction. The obtained average shale pore volume is 0.0180039 cm³. 3 / g, the average TOC of shale is 4.7%, and the average organic matter pore volume is 0.103133818 cm³. 3 / g, the average pore volume fraction of organic matter is 24.8%.

[0081] (4) Nitrogen adsorption experiments were conducted on shale and organic matter to obtain pore surface area, pore volume, pore size-pore volume distribution curves, and pore radius. The results are as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.

[0082] (5) Based on the TOC content of shale and the data from nitrogen adsorption experiments, the algorithm invented in this patent is used:
