Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration and development, in particular to the technical field of shale compressibility evaluation, and more particularly to a deep shale dessert evaluation method based on high temperature and high pressure rheology. BACKGROUND
[0002] Shale gas is a natural gas resource that can be mined from shale layers, and the recoverable reserves of shale gas in China are large. The deep shale gas reserves with a burial depth greater than 3500 m are abundant, but due to the characteristics of high temperature, ultra-high pressure, dense matrix, complex reservoir space and structure, and strong heterogeneity, the exploitation is difficult, and large-scale fracturing modification is necessary to realize effective development. Therefore, obtaining shale compressibility evaluation parameters and quantitatively evaluating the compressibility of shale gas horizontal wells are of great significance to the efficient and economic development of shale gas fields.
[0003] At present, there are various evaluation indexes for shale compressibility, and the main evaluation indexes mainly focus on the calculation of brittleness index. However, only brittleness index cannot comprehensively evaluate the compressibility of shale. Li Qinghui (2012) proposed that the brittleness characteristics of shale are related to its type, coring depth, coring direction, and loading conditions. When evaluating its mechanical properties, it is suggested to conduct research for specific regions, and the test should be simulated under the underground mechanical environment, so as to obtain more accurate results. Lai Fqiang (2018) used parameters such as brittleness coefficient (BIe), brittleness mineral content (BM), organic carbon content (TOC), clay mineral content (CL), fracture toughness (KC), and horizontal stress difference coefficient (Kh) to quantitatively analyze the weight of each parameter using the analytic hierarchy process to evaluate the fracturing property of shale gas reservoirs. Liu Yaowen (2022) proposed a new method for evaluating compressibility based on the angles of crack rupture, extension, and filling: selecting key evaluation parameters: brittleness index, ground stress characteristic parameters, and construction parameters to perform stress inversion, and based on each parameter, a comprehensive compressibility index is obtained to establish a new model for interpreting mechanical parameters.
[0004] Deep shale reservoirs mainly develop micropores and mesopores with a pore size less than 50 nm. In the high temperature and high pressure environment of deep shale (the pressure is generally higher than 70 MPa, and the average formation temperature is about 130 ℃). After fracturing under high temperature and high pressure, it is difficult to form a complex fracture network, and it is difficult for the crack to initiate and extend, and it is relatively difficult to inject proppants compared with shallow layers, which makes it difficult to obtain fractures with high conductivity. The flow and production of gas in micro-pore fractures in shale reservoirs are the key to the development of shale gas fracturing.
[0005] After consulting relevant literature, it is found that the current compressibility evaluation method is not perfect, especially the research on deep shale compressibility is insufficient, and the existing compressibility evaluation mainly has the following deficiencies:
[0006] (1) Existing compressibility evaluation is relatively macroscopic, and shale macroscopic characteristics and microscopic characteristics cannot be combined;
[0007] (2) The changes of pore and fracture structure, organic matter and mineral structure cannot be reflected;
[0008] (3) The pore and fracture evolution process of shale rheology under high temperature and high pressure is not clear;
[0009] (4) The analysis condition is relatively static, and the changes of shale pore and fracture structure and adsorption and desorption before and after transformation are not analyzed. SUMMARY
[0010] In order to overcome the defects and deficiencies existing in the prior art, the present application provides a deep shale sweet spot evaluation method based on high temperature and high pressure rheology, and the purpose of the present application is to solve the problems existing in the shale compressibility evaluation in the prior art. The present application provides a new idea for deep sweet spot evaluation: under the condition of simulating deep formation high temperature and high pressure, the macro and micro scales before and after shale rheology are compared and analyzed, and the pore size distribution, adsorption and desorption characteristics and microstructure characteristics before and after the high temperature and high pressure rheology experiment of shale are analyzed. The pore structure evolution characteristics in the deformation process are approximately dynamically analyzed, so as to preliminarily establish a deep shale sweet spot evaluation model. The present application develops the deep shale characteristics of "sweet spot", evaluates the "source", "storage" of shale gas and the percolation mechanism of fracturing reconstruction under high temperature and high pressure "flow", that is, in the shale gas sweet spot evaluation, the comprehensive evaluation of reservoir before development or whether complex fractures are formed after shale fracturing is paid more attention.

[0078] Further, as shown in the description accompanying drawings Figure 3 Further, as shown in the description accompanying drawings
[0079] The end face of the prepared core sample is ground on a flat glass surface with diamond sand to ensure smooth and parallel end faces. The experimental sample is dried and dehydrated in a drying oven at 120°C for 24 hours before being loaded, and is uniformly stored in a drying bottle. The prepared core is placed in the core chamber of the experimental equipment. After the sample is installed, vacuum is drawn for 30 minutes, then the axial pressure and confining pressure are applied simultaneously at a certain ratio, and when the confining pressure reaches the set value, the displacement control is switched to pressure control, and after stabilization, the temperature is raised. Constant pressure control can ensure that the sample expansion does not change the pressure during temperature rise, ensuring that the sample is in a static rock pressure state during temperature rise. After the temperature and confining pressure reach the pre-set values, friction correction is performed, then high temperature and high pressure rheological experiment is performed, and displacement rate loading mode is used during loading. After loading to failure, the experiment is stopped. After the experiment is completed, the sample is unloaded, photographed and described.
[0080] After the high temperature and high pressure experiment, the sample is further cut and processed, the fresh end face is observed by scanning electron microscope, the microstructure characteristics after high temperature and high pressure deformation are analyzed, and at the same time, low temperature CO2 and low temperature N2 adsorption experiments are carried out on part of the samples to analyze the pore size distribution characteristics after high temperature and high pressure rheological experiment.
[0081] Further, the microstructure of the shale before and after the well high temperature and high pressure rheological experiment is compared and analyzed, and the results of scanning electron microscope, low temperature CO2 adsorption and low temperature N2 adsorption experiments before and after the experiment are combined to analyze the change characteristics of the shale under high temperature and high pressure.
[0082] Further, the experimental results under high temperature and high pressure are combined with the XRD results of the shale, the TOC content analysis results, and the deep shale mineability evaluation index is formed.
[0083] Furthermore, by combining basic experimental data with high-temperature and high-pressure rheological experimental data, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to obtain the sweet spot evaluation index for deep shale.
[0084] Example 5
[0085] Considering that existing evaluations of deep shale sweet spots are limited to the macroscopic mechanical and mineral characteristics of shale, and most evaluations are based on static parameters under normal temperature and pressure, lacking consideration of in-situ high-temperature and high-pressure conditions in deep shale and the evolution of pore and fracture characteristics under high temperature and pressure, this method provides a new approach to the evaluation of deep shale sweet spots: under simulated deep strata high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, a comparative analysis of the macro- and micro-scale changes in shale rheology before and after is conducted, analyzing the pore size distribution, adsorption and desorption characteristics, and microstructural features before and after the high-temperature and high-pressure rheological experiment. The evolution of pore structure during deformation under high temperature and pressure is analyzed approximately dynamically to establish a deep shale sweet spot evaluation model. The evaluation of deep shale sweet spots focuses on two aspects: the "source" and "reservoir" characteristics that characterize shale gas abundance, and the "flow" mechanism of fracturing and permeability enhancement under high temperature and pressure. In other words, the evaluation of shale gas sweet spots focuses on the comprehensive reservoir evaluation before development, or pays considerable attention to whether shale fracturing creates channels conducive to shale gas flow.
[0086] Furthermore, according to Figure 1 A method for evaluating sweet spots in deep shale based on high-temperature and high-pressure rheological experiments was developed. First, the research samples were prepared and then subjected to... Figure 2 The samples were cut and then subjected to basic experiments and high-temperature and high-pressure rheological experiments.
[0087] Furthermore, following the X-ray diffraction analysis method for clay minerals and common non-clay minerals in sedimentary rocks (SY / T5163-2018), XRD experiments were conducted on shale using a Rigaku TTRⅢ multi-functional X-ray diffractometer to analyze the non-clay mineral and clay mineral components of the studied shale.
[0088] Furthermore, in accordance with the method for determination of total organic carbon in sedimentary rocks (GB / T19145-2003), organic carbon analysis was performed. The pyrolysis experiment of the studied shale was conducted using a LECO CS-230 carbon-sulfur analyzer to analyze the TOC content of the shale.
[0089] Furthermore, referring to the analysis method of scanning electron microscopy for rock samples in SY / T 5162-1997, the microstructure of shale was observed using a Zeiss Sigma 500 field emission scanning electron microscope, and the microstructure of shale pores and fractures was analyzed.
[0090] Further, according to GB / T 21650.3-2011 Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry and Gas Adsorption Method for Determining Pore Size Distribution and Porosity of Solid Materials, Part 3: Gas Adsorption Method for Analysis of Micropores, low-temperature CO2 and N2 adsorption experiments of shale are carried out by using an ASAP 2460 surface area and porosity analyzer and a matching MicroActive software, and pore distribution level adsorption characteristics of shale are analyzed.
[0091] Further, high-temperature and high-pressure experiments of shale are carried out by using a gas medium high-temperature and high-pressure experimental equipment, and a schematic diagram of the experimental equipment is as shown in Figure 3 The high-temperature and high-pressure conditions are determined according to the actual depth of the formation. The core for the high-temperature and high-pressure experiment is prepared according to the size of the core chamber of the high-temperature and high-pressure experimental equipment, and the size of the sample is a columnar core of Φ20mm*40mm. The sample for the high-temperature and high-pressure experiment is prepared to minimize the influence of sample heterogeneity on the experiment, and to ensure that the characteristics of the sample, such as pore structure, mineral content and organic matter, are as same as possible.
[0092] Further, the end faces of the prepared core sample are ground on a flat glass surface with diamond sand to ensure that the end faces are smooth and parallel to each other. The experimental sample is dried and dehydrated in a drying oven at 120°C for 24 hours before being loaded, and is uniformly stored in a dry bottle. The prepared core is placed in the core chamber of the experimental equipment, and the structure of the core chamber is as shown in Figure 4 After the sample is installed, vacuum is first drawn for 30 minutes, and then axial pressure and confining pressure are synchronously applied at a certain ratio. When the confining pressure reaches the set value, displacement control is switched to pressure control, and after stabilization, heating is started. Constant pressure control can ensure that the expansion of the sample during heating does not change the pressure, and the sample is in a static rock pressure state during heating. After the temperature and confining pressure reach the pre-set values, friction correction is carried out, and then high-temperature and high-pressure rheology is carried out. The loading mode is displacement rate loading during loading, and the experiment is stopped after loading to failure. After the experiment is completed, the sample is unloaded, photographed and described.
[0093] After the high-temperature and high-pressure experiment is completed, further, the sample after the experiment is cut and processed, and a fresh end face is selected for scanning electron microscope observation to analyze the microstructure characteristics after high-temperature and high-pressure deformation. At the same time, low-temperature CO2 and low-pressure N2 adsorption experiments are carried out on part of the samples to analyze the pore size distribution characteristics after the high-temperature and high-pressure rheological experiment.
[0094] Further, the microstructure of shale before and after the high-temperature and high-pressure rheological experiment is compared and analyzed, and the results of scanning electron microscope, low-temperature CO2 adsorption and low-temperature N2 adsorption experiments before and after the experiment are combined to analyze the change characteristics of shale under high temperature and high pressure.
[0095] Further, the experimental results under high temperature and high pressure are combined with XRD results of shale, TOC content analysis results to form deep shale mineability evaluation index.
[0096] Finally, according to the "source" and "reservoir" characteristics of deep shale and the shale gas "flow" characteristics representing shale mineability, the deep shale gas sweet spot is evaluated according to the following formula: Figure 5 The evaluation results are used as a reference for deep shale development and guide the economic and efficient development of deep shale gas.
[0097] Further, the hierarchical structure is composed of the geological characteristics and mineability characteristics of shale gas reservoirs, which reflect the characteristics of shale gas generation, migration and enrichment, and the complex relationship between the numerous factors. Through summary and analysis, the factors affecting the quality of shale gas reservoirs are divided into two evaluation indexes: shale reservoir geological characteristics and shale gas mining mineability characteristics. Each evaluation index is determined by a plurality of secondary factors affecting the quality of shale gas reservoirs. According to the characteristics of each parameter and the nature of the evaluation index, the deep shale gas sweet spot area is selected as the target layer, and the reservoir geological conditions and reservoir mineability are set as the first index according to the "source", "reservoir" characteristics and "flow characteristics" representing the shale gas reservoir. The reservoir geological conditions include TOC content, effective thickness, porosity and gas content parameters, and the reservoir mineability includes shale reservoir burial depth, brittleness index, horizontal stress difference and pore volume change before and after rheological. Further, different hierarchical structures are formed, and the elements at the same level dominate the elements at the next level, while being dominated by the elements at the previous level. This top-down domination relationship forms a hierarchical structure, the topmost level is the result of sweet spot area selection, the middle level is the condition layer, and the lowest level is the evaluation parameter of sweet spot evaluation area.
[0098] After establishing the hierarchical structure, the membership relationship between the upper and lower layers is determined. According to the hierarchical structure relationship, the target layer, condition layer and parameter are coded and weighted.
[0099] Table 1 Deep shale evaluation index
[0100]
[0101] The weight assignment uses the 1-9 scale method for pairwise comparison to assign weights to each element. The meaning of the scale is shown in Table 2.
[0102] Table 2 Meaning of scale
[0103]
[0104] The weight of each evaluation element is quantitatively calculated by using the Delphi method. The basic idea is that the influence degree of factor Bi on target factor A is different, and then factor Bi is used to form a pairwise comparison matrix C:
[0105] ;
[0106] wherein C satisfies: a, C ii = 1; b, C ij = 1 / C ji ;
[0107] The weight of all elements in target A can be obtained by solving the eigenvalue of the judgment function C. The matrix is tested for consistency by using the random consistency ratio C.R. proposed by T.L. Saaty. Wherein, , n is the order of the matrix, and λ Max is the maximum eigenvalue. When C.R. < 10%, it is considered that the inconsistency of the judgment matrix is acceptable, and when C.R. > 10%, it needs to be revalued and calculated until C.R. < 10%.

[0110] By using the above method, the characteristic vector and the maximum eigenvalue of each element in the high-yield area of coalbed methane in the study area are calculated by using Matlab software, and the reasonable weight value is obtained through consistency test. Among them, the importance scale of two factors in the judgment factor is valued according to the following table 4.
[0111] Table 4 Comparison matrix of each layer and parameter value
[0112]
[0113] Through the calculation of matrix and consistency test, the weight of each parameter for the optimization of deep shale gas sweet spot area is obtained, and the calculation results of weight are shown in the following table 5:
[0114] Table 5 Calculation results of weight of each parameter
[0115]
[0116] From the weight calculation results, it can be found that the proportion of TOC in the reservoir geological conditions is the highest, reaching 0.3, and the porosity is the lowest, being 0.17. The proportion of brittle mineral content (brittle index) in the reservoir recoverability condition representing the flowable reservoir fluid is the highest, reaching 0.42, and the burial depth is the lowest, being 0.12.
[0117] In the parameter layer, each parameter is different in different shale gas wells and blocks. According to the characteristics of the shale gas block, the parameters of the shale gas target area are divided into three levels of good, medium and poor, which are represented by I, II and III respectively. Each level is assigned a value of 70-100 points, 30-70 points and 0-30 points respectively (Table 8-2). According to the scoring type, the parameters of different shale gas wells or blocks are normalized, and finally the comprehensive evaluation index is calculated by combining the weight of each parameter in the shale gas sweet spot evaluation. According to the index, the shale gas reservoir development well layer is optimized.

[0119]
[0120] Therefore, according to the research, the comprehensive evaluation index of the deep shale gas sweet spot area can be expressed as:
[0121] The comprehensive recoverable index = 0.215*NI(TOC) + 0.181*NI(H effective thickness) + 0.112*NI(porosity) + 0.163*NI(gas content) + 0.139*NI(brittle index) + 0.041*NI(buried depth) + 0.055*NI(horizontal stress difference) + 0.095*NI(pore volume increase multiple).
[0122] This study establishes an evaluation method system for optimizing the favorable area, and optimizes the favorable blocks of shale gas distribution. The optimization of the shale gas "sweet spot area" is related to the geological and reservoir recoverability conditions. Based on the geological and recoverability, the sweet spot area is optimized and evaluated in three levels. The three progressive levels from top to bottom are target layer, condition layer and parameter layer. The shale gas target area is a relatively favorable sweet spot area optimized by various parameters. The first level index of the condition layer refers to the geological conditions and recoverability of shale, which corresponds to the resource basis of "source" and "reservoir" of shale and the reservoir recoverability of "flow". First, good shale reservoir gas content is the basis of high yield of shale reservoir; second, high shale brittleness and good compressibility are important factors for shale gas resources to be produced. According to the main controlling factors of shale gas enrichment described in the parameter calculation model, the important factors are organic matter content, shale thickness, porosity, pore development degree, brittle mineral, buried depth, horizontal stress difference and pore fracture volume increase multiple. The shale gas wells in Weiyuan area of Sichuan Basin are comprehensively evaluated. Referring to the evaluation index weight table and index system and grade scoring table of the favorable area, each parameter of the known well is scored and summed to get the total score of each mineralized area. The higher the score, the greater the shale gas exploration and development potential, and the more favorable the block. The evaluation results are shown in Table 7.
[0123] Table 7 Comprehensive evaluation results
[0124]
[0125] The evaluation results show that the comprehensive evaluation index of the wells in the study area is located in 58.4-87.58, and the overall evaluation index is good. In order to verify the relationship between the evaluation index and the development effect, the relationship between the comprehensive evaluation index and the test gas production is established, and the results are shown in Figure 6
[0126] The results show that the comprehensive evaluation index and the test gas production have a good positive correlation. With the increase of the comprehensive index, the test gas production increases, and the linear correlation between them is high, R2=0.9166, indicating that the evaluation model has good applicability in the area.
