Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of unconventional oil and gas development, and in particular relates to a method and device, a system and a storage medium for determining pore throat structure parameters of a shale reservoir. Background Art

[0002] Unconventional shale reservoirs are mostly developed with nano-scale pore throats, which are characterized by small size, complex microstructure, and strong heterogeneity, which determines the storage and seepage of unconventional shale reservoirs and ultimately affects the production capacity of the reservoir. From the perspective of mining, due to the complex pore throat structure, large seepage resistance, and damage from external liquids, the initial production decline is fast and the difference in production after compression is large; from the perspective of resources, shale oil is an important component of unconventional oil and gas resources, and its resource potential is huge. It is an important strategic oil replacement resource in China in the future and is of great significance to ensuring national energy security.

[0003] At present, there is little information about the effect of pore throat structure on the micro-scale seepage characteristics of unconventional shale oil, and traditional numerical simulation methods are not suitable for micro-scale research. The research on unconventional shale oil should start from the actual temperature, pressure and reservoir pore throat characteristics. The micro-migration effect of oil in unconventional shale reservoirs is closely related to pore throats. Its micro-migration effect will cause the properties of shale in the microscopic pore space to differentiate. However, it is difficult to accurately characterize the reservoir due to its small pore radius and complex pore throat structure, resulting in a lack of understanding of the microscopic enrichment mechanism of unconventional shales.

[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] Embodiment 1:

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining pore throat structure parameters of a shale reservoir, comprising the following steps:

[0043] Step 1: Obtain the core of the unconventional shale reservoir and cut it into cores with a height of 15 cm and a diameter of 10 cm.

[0044] Step 2: Use micro-CT scanning technology to slice and scan the core to obtain a two-dimensional grayscale image of the core, and binarize the obtained two-dimensional grayscale image to obtain a binary image of the core.

[0045] Step 3: Use the obtained binary image of the core to perform image denoising on the image using the image denoising network.

[0046] Step 4: Use the denoised image to perform threshold segmentation to distinguish the difference in grayscale values ​​between the pore space and the rock skeleton.

[0047] Step 5: Create a digital core to visually observe the spatial structure of the pores inside the rock.

[0048] Step 6: Pore throat segmentation: divide the pore structure into some units with different functions to obtain important structural characteristic parameters such as core pore throat size.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment provided by the present invention, the image denoising network of step three includes an image denoising network structure, an image transformation structure, an image feature enhancement structure, an image decomposition structure, and an image feature reconstruction structure.

[0050] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, in step three, the core is first sliced ​​and scanned using micro-CT scanning technology to obtain a two-dimensional grayscale image of the core; the obtained two-dimensional grayscale image is binarized to obtain a binary image of the core, and finally image denoising is performed.

[0051] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, the image denoising network combines the strong learning ability of CNN, and the structure of this network adopts encoder-subnetwork-decoder.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the image denoising network structure is used to restore the original data of the noisy image to obtain the high frequency (CD) and low frequency (CA) information in the image. In this network, the Haar wavelet is used as the wavelet basis to first process the row direction, and the data of each row is divided into low frequency and high frequency, and then the column direction is processed. In the column direction processing, Haar is also used as the wavelet basis to divide the data of each column into low frequency and high frequency. After decomposition according to the data, the low frequency and high frequency are extracted from the information obtained after decomposition.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the image transformation structure in the image denoising network is used to decompose the original image Y into a combination of low-frequency sub-bands (L1), horizontal high-frequency sub-bands (L2), vertical high-frequency sub-bands (L3) and diagonal high-frequency sub-bands (L4) to avoid information loss and retain image details and texture information. In this network, the high-frequency and low-frequency undecomposed information obtained by the image denoising network structure is decomposed.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the image feature enhancement structure aims to solve the problem of poor denoising effect caused by directly mixing high- and low-frequency information. An image feature enhancement structure is added to enhance global and local high- and low-frequency key feature information and suppress the influence of noise. This network is similar to a four-layer residual dense block. Each layer above and below can output to the next layer. In this module, convolution kernels are used to obtain more detailed information and have a good protection effect on information.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown in the figure, in order to prevent the introduction of noise into the image during image reconstruction, the image decomposition structure uses haar as the wavelet basis, and the high-frequency (CD) and low-frequency (CA) information obtained after decomposition are used to enhance the detailed texture part of the image and reduce the noise part after denoising. This network inserts the low-frequency and high-frequency information after decomposition into the wavelet network to construct low-frequency and high-frequency low-frequency subband components (L1′), horizontal high-frequency subband components (L2′), vertical high-frequency subband components (L3′) and diagonal high-frequency subband components (L4′). The last four components reconstruct new feature information.

[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, the image feature reconstruction stage is to reconstruct the decomposed high-frequency and low-frequency information again. The purpose is to enhance the image detail texture and reduce the noise part after denoising before reconstruction, so that a clear image can be better obtained at this stage. In this network, the low-frequency and high-frequency information decomposed from the image are first obtained to obtain low-frequency subband components (L1′), horizontal high-frequency subband components (L2′), vertical high-frequency subband components (L3′) and diagonal high-frequency subband components (L4′), and then new components are constructed from them. The different features of the new components are reconstructed to obtain an image with enhanced image detail texture and reduced denoising.

[0057] In the designed image denoising network, the main task is to denoise the image and protect the edge texture information and detail features of the image, so as to improve the accuracy of subsequent quantitative analysis and better observe the information of core pores and microcracks as well as the details of the microscopic pore structure of shale oil reservoirs.

[0058] Threshold segmentation can distinguish the pore space from the rock skeleton based on the difference in grayscale values ​​between the two. By continuously adjusting the threshold, when the selected threshold just covers the black area, the part below the threshold is considered to be the pore space, and the area above the threshold is considered to be the rock skeleton.

[0059] When establishing the digital core, the images after threshold segmentation are superimposed from bottom to top to construct the digital core and reconstruct the real three-dimensional image of the pores inside the core. This allows for intuitive observation of the spatial structure of the pores inside the core, and provides a good understanding of the porosity and heterogeneity of unconventional shale oil reservoirs at the micron scale, as well as a clear understanding of the pore space performance, connectivity, and residual intergranular pores in some areas.

[0060] Pore ​​throat segmentation first divides the pore structure into some units with different functions. The throat represents the narrow and long pore space, and the pore body represents the relatively large pore space at the junction of the throat. The pore body and throat are set to some ideal geometric shapes, and the central axis algorithm and the maximum sphere algorithm are used to perform quantitative analysis of the geometric parameters, and finally the important structural characteristic parameters such as the core pore throat size are obtained.
