Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shale gas development, and in particular to a method for correcting movable hydrocarbon content of high gas-oil ratio shale oil based on phase state and rock pyrolysis. Background Art

[0002] At present, the supply of conventional oil and gas resources cannot meet the growing energy demand, and the contradiction between oil and gas supply and demand is rising rapidly. Unconventional oil and gas energy accounts for an increasingly large proportion of energy supply, and the exploration and development of shale oil and gas is also receiving more and more attention. As an important part of oil and gas exploration, resource calculation is one of the indispensable links in shale oil exploration. The parameters selected in the resource evaluation process are significantly different from those of conventional oil and gas resource evaluation. Previous researchers proposed to use the parameter pyrolysis S1 that reflects the hydrocarbon content of mudstone to evaluate shale oil resources. In the actual experimental analysis process, due to the influence of coring methods, core storage conditions, experimental test analysis technology, and kerogen adsorption and swelling, S1 has light hydrocarbon loss, resulting in the measured S1 being lower than the underground oil content of the in-situ shale oil, which is difficult to directly reflect the in-situ oil content information of underground shale oil.

[0003] At present, the existing technology generally uses the light hydrocarbon recovery amount S1 and the difference between the pyrolysis of samples before and after oil washing to recover the total oil content S of shale. c =S0+ΔS1+△S2. This method only considers gaseous hydrocarbons C in the recovery of light hydrocarbons. 1-5 The loss of light hydrocarbon components C 5-14 There is a problem of loss during the process of drilling cores and long-term storage of cores in the core library, which makes the oil content evaluation after the recovery of light hydrocarbons inaccurate and different from the actual value. Therefore, it is necessary to study a method for correcting the movable hydrocarbon content of high gas-oil ratio shale oil based on phase state and rock pyrolysis. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for correcting the amount of movable hydrocarbons in shale oil with a high gas-oil ratio based on phase state and rock pyrolysis, which solves the technical problem that the existing methods all correct the resource amount of shale oil reservoirs with high maturity, low gas-oil ratio and small proportion of light hydrocarbon components, but ignore the high proportion of light hydrocarbon components and high light hydrocarbon losses in volatile oil reservoirs and condensate oil reservoirs with high gas-oil ratio.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for correcting the amount of movable hydrocarbons in high gas-oil ratio shale oil based on phase state and rock pyrolysis, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1. According to the formation fluid properties of the target block, simulate and prepare the fluid under the original formation conditions;

[0007] S2. Perform PVT experiment and fluid physical property test on the fluid configured in S1 to obtain the well flow composition and deviation coefficient;

[0008] S3. Establish a theoretical shale movable hydrocarbon amount prediction model to calculate the theoretical shale movable hydrocarbon amount and light hydrocarbon correction coefficient;

[0009] S4. Determine the light hydrocarbon content and the original total oil content of the recovered shale oil based on the light hydrocarbon correction coefficient obtained in S3.

[0010] In some embodiments, the formation fluid properties of the target block in S1 include formation temperature, formation pressure, gas-oil ratio, and deviation coefficient, and the fluid under in situ conditions is simulated and prepared based on the above parameters.

[0011] In some embodiments, in S3, the theoretical shale movable hydrocarbon amount prediction model is:

[0012]

[0013] In the formula, S KD is the theoretical movable hydrocarbon content, mg / g; P p is the formation pressure, MPa; V b is the core volume, m 3 ; is the porosity, %; S O is the oil saturation, %; M is the relative molecular mass, dimensionless; Z is the deviation coefficient, dimensionless; R is the molar gas constant, 0.008314; T p is the formation temperature, K; m b is the core weight, g.

[0014] In some embodiments, due to the large loss of light hydrocarbons in the placed ordinary sample, the calculated movable hydrocarbon amount includes all components of the free hydrocarbon amount, and it is necessary to further determine the light hydrocarbon correction factor, that is, the movable hydrocarbon amount S KD Total difference of S1 and movable hydrocarbon content S1 of segmented pyrolysis of common samples KD Ratio.

[0015] The calculation expression of the light hydrocarbon correction coefficient is:

[0016]

[0017] Where K is the light hydrocarbon correction factor, dimensionless; S KD is the theoretical movable hydrocarbon content, mg / g; S 1总 =S 1-1 +S 1-2 , S 1-1 is the light oil content, S 1-2 is the light medium oil content, S 1总 Light hydrocarbon content.

[0018] In some embodiments, in S4, the calculation expression of the light hydrocarbon content of the recovered shale oil is:

[0019] S 轻烃 =KS 1总 +S 1总 (3)

[0020] The calculation expression of the original total oil content after recovery is:

[0021] S TOL =KS 1总 +S 1总 +S 2-1 (4)

[0022] In the formula, S 2-1 It is light and heavy oil content.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The present invention fully considers the actual reservoir geological conditions on site and the fluid properties of different types of shale oil reservoirs. Based on the fluid properties of high gas-oil ratio shale oil reservoirs with high proportion of light components and strong volatility, combined with PVT and existing rock pyrolysis methods, the mobile hydrocarbon content of high gas-oil ratio shale oil is corrected. This allows the pyrolysis parameter S1 of shale to more objectively and accurately characterize the mobile hydrocarbon content of shale. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
