Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of geological exploration technology, and in particular relates to a method for determining the organic and inorganic porosity of shale and related methods. Background Technology
[0002] my country has abundant shale gas resources, with technically recoverable resources of 21.81 × 10⁻⁶. 12 m 3 In 2022, the cumulative proven geological reserves of shale gas in China exceeded 2.7 × 10⁻⁶. 12 m 3 The output reached 240×10 8 m 3 Shale gas has become the main driver of future growth in domestic natural gas reserves and production. As a type of unconventional natural gas resource, shale gas exhibits typical self-generating and self-storing characteristics. Compared to conventional sandstone reservoirs, shale is dense, has extremely low permeability, and primarily develops nanoscale pores.
[0003] The formation and evolution of shale reservoirs are the combined result of inorganic diagenesis and the generation and expulsion of hydrocarbons through the maturation of organic matter. Based on the location of the matrix, shale pores can be divided into two main categories: organic pores and inorganic pores. Inorganic pores are mainly developed in clay minerals, feldspar, and carbonates, and their origins and sources vary depending on factors such as the mineral composition of the shale, diagenesis, cementation, and dissolution. For example, intergranular pores are formed by the flocculation of clay minerals, intergranular pores exist between different types of pyrite, inorganic pores are formed due to volume shrinkage during illite transformation, and dissolution pores are formed by the dissolution of feldspar and other minerals. The formation of organic pores mainly depends on the hydrocarbon generation process during shale maturation, including kerogen pores formed by the generation and expulsion of hydrocarbons from kerogen and bitumen pores formed during the cracking of retained crude oil. The Longmaxi Formation shale in southern my country, controlled by the type and maturity of organic matter, exhibits abundant organic pores. The presence or absence of organic pores has become an important indicator for evaluating shale gas reservoirs and selecting sweet spots. Summary of the Invention

[0130] Porosity is a parameter for evaluating the reservoir properties of shale. Currently, various methods have been established to test the total porosity of shale, but they cannot accurately determine the organic and inorganic porosity in shale. The current methods for evaluating the organic and inorganic porosity of shale mainly have the following shortcomings: (1) Although high-resolution scanning electron microscopy can quantitatively analyze the organic porosity of samples, it is mainly based on small-area scanning electron microscopy images and cannot reflect the overall porosity development of shale. (2) Based on the difference in wettability of organic and inorganic minerals in shale, organic and inorganic pores are distinguished by nuclear magnetic resonance saturation water and oil experiments. However, the theoretical basis of this method is based on the difference in wettability of shale matrix. Shale mineral composition is complex and organic matter types are diverse. Using this method cannot accurately measure the degree of development of organic pores in shale. The inability to clearly distinguish between organic and inorganic pores in shale is not conducive to the calculation of rock storage space, fluid saturation and geological reserves. Therefore, the inventors made this invention after further research and development.
[0131] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0132] Example 1
[0133] This invention provides a method for determining the organic and inorganic porosity of shale, combined with... Figure 1 As shown, steps S110 to S130 are included:
[0134] Step S110: Obtain the total porosity of shale using a preset first rule.
[0135] In one embodiment, the total porosity of the shale is obtained using a first rule, such as... Figure 2 As shown, steps S111 to S123 are included:
[0136] Step S111: Place the shale sample into a gas porosimeter and evacuate to remove air from the pores of the sample.
[0137] Specifically, after placing the shale sample into the gas porosimeter, it is necessary to evacuate the shale sample to remove the air. Under normal circumstances, the evacuation time is set to 2 hours to ensure that the air in the shale sample is completely removed.
[0138] Step S112: Without applying confining pressure, apply helium gas at a certain pressure to allow it to enter the pores.
[0139] Specifically, the gas porosimeter can test samples under both confining and non-confining pressure conditions. Under confining pressure, the sample is affected by external pressure, and the pores are compressed. The porosity obtained by measurement is not the total porosity. However, the porosity obtained under non-confining pressure is the total porosity value. In this invention, the total porosity value is required. Therefore, under non-confining pressure, helium gas at a certain pressure needs to be applied to allow it to enter the pores of the shale sample.
[0140] Step S113: Set the gas pressure and equilibrium time, and after the pressure is balanced, obtain the total porosity of the shale.
[0141] Specifically, while waiting for the pressure in the pores of the shale sample to reach equilibrium, equilibrium conditions need to be set. Generally, the equilibrium condition is set to a pressure change of less than 1 psi within 10 minutes. After setting the equilibrium condition, the porosity meter will automatically determine whether the pressure in the shale sample has reached equilibrium.
[0142] The porosity analyzer system software can be used to analyze the helium gas under a set initial gas pressure by making it expand isothermally into the core chamber according to Boyle's law. The gas continuously diffuses into the pores inside the core. The pore volume can be calculated based on the pressure change characteristics, the size of the core chamber, and the gas state equation.
[0143] In one specific embodiment, the gas pressure is set to 600 psi and the equilibrium time is 1 hour. After the pressure reaches equilibrium, the total porosity is calculated using Boyle's law. =4.24%.
[0144] Step S120: Obtain the porosity of shale organic matter using a preset second rule.
[0145] In one embodiment, the porosity of shale organic matter is obtained using a preset second rule, such as... Figure 3 As shown, step S120 includes steps S121 to S123:
[0146] Step S121: Obtain the organic matter porosity as the percentage of the total area of organic matter pores using a preset third rule.
[0147] Specifically, the organic matter porosity is obtained by using a pre-defined third rule, which represents the total area of the shale sample. Figure 4As shown, step S121 includes steps S1211 to S1213.
[0148] Step S1211: Perform an electron microscopy (SEM) experiment on the shale sample to obtain the first SEM image of the shale sample.
[0149] Specifically, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) experiments were conducted on shale samples to obtain the first SEM image of the shale samples, such as... Figure 5 As shown, step S1211 includes steps S1211' to S1216':
[0150] Step S1211': Select the shale sample from the target layer and polish it according to the preset area to obtain the polished shale sample.
[0151] In one embodiment, a shale sample with well-developed organic porosity from the target formation was selected. The sample came from the Longmaxi Formation in the southern Sichuan Basin. A combination of manual polishing and argon ion polishing was used to polish the sample surface over a large area, reaching 1 mm × 1 mm.
[0152] Step S1212': The surface of the polished shale sample is processed according to a preset process to obtain a processed shale sample.
[0153] In one embodiment, the surface of the shale sample is subjected to high-vacuum carbon spraying or gold plating to enhance the conductivity of the sample.
[0154] Step S1213': Place the processed shale sample into a field emission scanning electron microscope for surface imaging.
[0155] In one embodiment, the shale sample is placed in a field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) with a maximum resolution of 1 nm. After locating the polished area on the sample surface, the sample surface is imaged using backscatter mode with a magnification of 2500x, an image width of 110 μm, and a resolution of 27 nm.
[0156] Step S1214': Select a region of a preset area for the processed shale sample.
[0157] Step S1215': Set the scanning electron microscope to continuous imaging mode and acquire a preset number of continuous scanning electron microscope images of the preset area.
[0158] Step S1216': The preset number of consecutive scanning electron microscope (SEM) images are stitched together to generate a first SEM image.
[0159] In one embodiment, a shale sample with a region of 330 μm × 330 μm was selected for imaging, and nine consecutive scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were obtained. These SEM images were then stitched together to obtain a large-area SEM image with relatively high resolution, such as... Figure 6As shown.
[0160] Step S1212: Use preset image processing software to extract all organic matter regions in the first scanning electron microscope image of the shale sample to obtain the total area fraction of organic matter on the surface of the shale sample.
[0161] Specifically, the preset image processing software can be Photoshop, ImageJ, etc., and the total area fraction of organic matter on the surface of the shale sample can be obtained through image processing software. S ot It is 16.1%.
[0162] Step S1213: Obtain the average porosity of organic matter pores from the first scanning electron microscope image of the shale sample according to the preset fifth rule.
[0163] Specifically, the average porosity of organic matter pores is obtained from the first scanning electron microscope image of the shale sample according to a preset fifth rule, such as... Figure 7 As shown, step S1213 includes steps S12131' to S12114':
[0164] Step S12131': Select a preset number of shale organic matter development locations in the first scanning electron microscope image, and perform electron microscopy imaging on each selected shale organic matter development location at a preset magnification and with a preset area to generate a corresponding second scanning electron microscope image.
[0165] Step S12132': Identify and process the organic matter pores in each second scanning electron microscope image to obtain the area of each organic matter pore and the area of each organic matter region.
[0166] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, step S12132' includes steps S12141 to S12143:
[0167] Step S12141: Use preset image processing software to identify the organic matter pores in each second scanning electron microscope image to obtain each group of shale organic matter pores.
[0168] Step S12142: Use preset image processing software to color-mark each group of shale organic matter pores to obtain each group of color-marked shale organic matter pores.
[0169] Step S12143: Use preset software to process the pores of each group of color-marked shale organic matter to obtain the area of each organic matter pore and the area of each organic matter region.
[0170] Step S12133': Based on the pore area of each organic matter and the area of each organic matter region, the porosity of each organic matter pore is obtained according to the following formula:
[0171]
[0172] in, The porosity of each organic matter pore in the organic matter; S opi The pore area of each organic matter; S orgi The area of each organic matter region.
[0173] Step S12134': Based on the porosity of each organic matter pore relative to the total porosity of the organic matter, the average porosity of the organic matter pores is obtained using the following formula:
[0174]
[0175] in, The average porosity of the organic matter pores; The porosity of each organic matter pore is the porosity of the organic matter; n is the number of selected shale organic matter development locations.
[0176] In one specific embodiment, organic matter development sites are selected from large-area scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of shale samples. More than 20 sites are selected. During imaging of these selected sites, the SEM magnification is set to 10,000x, the image width to 27.5 μm, and the resolution to 6.75 nm. Typically, 144 organic matter development sites are selected, as shown below. Figure 9 As shown on the left, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of one of the organic matter development locations was obtained. Image processing software, including Photoshop and ImageJ, was used to identify the internal pores of the organic matter in the SEM image based on grayscale differences. The organic matter pores were marked in gray. The marked organic matter is shown below. Figure 9 As shown on the right.
[0177] The electron microscopy images of each organic matter development location were processed using image processing software, resulting in one organic matter area of 9.8 × 10⁻⁶. 7 nm 2 The organic pore area within the organic matter is 1.39 × 10⁻⁶. 7 nm 2 The porosity of a single organic matter particle was calculated. = (1.39 × 10 7 ) / (9.8×10 7=14.15%.
[0178] The organic matter surface rates at the selected 144 organic matter development sites were summed:
