Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum, geology and mining exploration and development, and in particular relates to a method, system and storage medium for determining the existence status of shale gas. Background Art
[0002] Shale gas refers to natural gas that is found in organic-rich shale and its interlayered muddy siltstone. It is mainly a continuous gas reservoir that is self-generated and self-stored. It is an accumulation of natural gas stored in a dense shale formation system in an adsorbed and free state. It is an unconventional natural gas. Shale gas resources are abundant and have broad development prospects. Good exploration and development benefits have been achieved in many different regions. It is currently a hot spot for unconventional natural gas exploration and development. Among them, great achievements have been made in shale gas research in the Sichuan Basin and surrounding areas. At the same time, a series of major breakthroughs have been made in shale gas exploration.
[0003] A shale gas content assessment method based on methane carbon isotopes in the prior art estimates relevant parameters by matching calculation and experimental results, and uses the change of methane carbon isotope values during shale gas degassing to establish a corresponding relationship with the percentage of free gas and adsorbed gas in the degassing process, so as to calculate the total gas volume. This method can calculate the lost gas volume, desorbed gas volume and residual gas volume on the one hand, and the free gas volume and adsorbed gas volume on the other hand. At the same time, the isotope fractionation of the invention can calculate the lost gas, desorbed gas and residual gas on the one hand; and can calculate the free gas and adsorbed gas on the other hand. In addition, the prior art is also based on the gray correlation method, and on the basis of comprehensively considering the relationship between shale adsorption and temperature, pressure, organic carbon content, quartz and clay mineral content, it dynamically corrects key parameters such as Langmuir volume and Langmuir pressure, and establishes a new model for calculating adsorbed gas and free gas content. Although the aforementioned prior art has realized the assessment of shale gas content, the assessment process is relatively complicated.
[0004] In addition, the current judgment of the free gas and adsorbed gas content in shale gas mainly relies on logging data. For the judgment of free gas content, the more commonly used method is to calculate it through the porosity and gas saturation in the logging data. For adsorbed gas, a large number of isothermal adsorption experimental data show that the amount of adsorbed gas in shale often shows a good positive correlation with the shale organic carbon content (TOC). Therefore, the adsorbed gas content in the prior art is mainly obtained by fitting and calculating the shale TOC data in geochemical logging. In other words, the prior art studies the content and percentage of free gas and adsorbed gas in shale gas based on the key parameter of shale organic carbon content. However, this study is mainly based on the Langmuir volume model of methane isothermal adsorption, and the free gas and adsorbed gas content are quantitatively calculated by correcting temperature and pressure, or the occurrence mode of shale gas is studied based on the carbon isotope fractionation phenomenon. The research methods are relatively complicated and the calculation amount is slightly large.
[0005] Quantitative evaluation of the free gas and adsorbed gas content in shale reservoirs is the basis for achieving efficient exploration and development of shale gas. Therefore, improving the efficiency of quantitative evaluation of the free gas and adsorbed gas content in shale reservoirs, as well as improving the accuracy of quantitative evaluation, can effectively achieve the goal of efficient exploration and development of shale gas.

[0025] Shale gas refers to natural gas that is found in organic-rich shale and its interlayered muddy siltstone. It is mainly a continuous gas reservoir that is self-generated and self-stored. It is an accumulation of natural gas stored in a dense shale formation system in an adsorbed and free state. It is an unconventional natural gas. Shale gas resources are abundant and have broad development prospects. Good exploration and development benefits have been achieved in many different regions. It is currently a hot spot for unconventional natural gas exploration and development. Among them, great achievements have been made in shale gas research in the Sichuan Basin and surrounding areas. At the same time, a series of major breakthroughs have been made in shale gas exploration.
[0026] A shale gas content assessment method based on methane carbon isotopes in the prior art estimates relevant parameters by matching calculation and experimental results, and uses the change of methane carbon isotope values during shale gas degassing to establish a corresponding relationship with the percentage of free gas and adsorbed gas in the degassing process, so as to calculate the total gas volume. This method can calculate the lost gas volume, desorbed gas volume and residual gas volume on the one hand, and the free gas volume and adsorbed gas volume on the other hand. At the same time, the isotope fractionation of the invention can calculate the lost gas, desorbed gas and residual gas on the one hand; and can calculate the free gas and adsorbed gas on the other hand. In addition, the prior art is also based on the gray correlation method, and on the basis of comprehensively considering the relationship between shale adsorption and temperature, pressure, organic carbon content, quartz and clay mineral content, it dynamically corrects key parameters such as Langmuir volume and Langmuir pressure, and establishes a new model for calculating adsorbed gas and free gas content. Although the aforementioned prior art has realized the assessment of shale gas content, the assessment process is relatively complicated.
[0027] In addition, the current judgment of the free gas and adsorbed gas content in shale gas mainly relies on logging data. For the judgment of free gas content, the more commonly used method is to calculate it through the porosity and gas saturation in the logging data. For adsorbed gas, a large number of isothermal adsorption experimental data show that the amount of adsorbed gas in shale often shows a good positive correlation with the shale organic carbon content (TOC). Therefore, the adsorbed gas content in the prior art is mainly obtained by fitting and calculating the shale TOC data in geochemical logging. In other words, the prior art studies the content and percentage of free gas and adsorbed gas in shale gas based on the key parameter of shale organic carbon content. However, this study is mainly based on the Langmuir volume model of methane isothermal adsorption, and the free gas and adsorbed gas content are quantitatively calculated by correcting temperature and pressure, or the occurrence mode of shale gas is studied based on the carbon isotope fractionation phenomenon. The research methods are relatively complicated and the calculation amount is slightly large.
[0028] Quantitative evaluation of the free gas and adsorbed gas content in shale reservoirs is the basis for achieving efficient exploration and development of shale gas. Therefore, improving the efficiency of quantitative evaluation of the free gas and adsorbed gas content in shale reservoirs, as well as improving the accuracy of quantitative evaluation, can effectively achieve the goal of efficient exploration and development of shale gas.
[0029] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present invention proposes a method, system and storage medium for determining the existence state of shale gas. The method first collects core samples in the reservoir where the shale gas to be studied is located, and analyzes the rock gas content of the collected core samples to obtain the total analyzed gas volume data analyzed at different metering times, and the analysis results of the analyzed gas samples at different analysis sampling times. After that, by testing the analyzed gas samples with methane carbon isotopes, methane carbon isotope data is obtained, and the ratio of the total analyzed gas volume at different metering times to the analyzed total gas content is calculated, and the correlation between the methane carbon isotope data and the analyzed gas volume ratio is further obtained, so as to determine the existence state of the current shale gas to be studied according to the correlation. Different from the conventional method, the present invention measures the percentage of free gas and adsorbed gas in shale gas based on the methane carbon isotope fractionation effect, realizes the rapid and accurate acquisition of the percentage of free gas and adsorbed gas in shale gas wells, and provides technical support for shale gas exploration and development.
[0030] Embodiment 1
[0031] Figure 1 This is a step diagram of a method for determining the presence of shale gas in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 To illustrate the various steps of this method.
[0032] like Figure 1As shown, in step S110, a core sample of the reservoir where the shale gas to be studied is collected, and the gas content of the rock mass is analyzed to obtain the total analyzed gas volume at different metering times. The present invention analyzes the existence state of shale gas in the reservoir based on the gas-containing state of the core of the reservoir where the shale gas is located. In an embodiment of the present application, first, a core sample is collected in a shale gas coring well of the reservoir where the shale gas to be studied is located, so as to obtain the existence state of the shale gas to be studied by using the gas-containing state of the core sample currently collected. Then, the collected core sample is subjected to rock gas content analysis, and a plurality of different metering times are preset to measure the total analyzed gas volume from the initial stage of the analysis to each metering time. Since the analysis results of the core sample are continuously generated as the analysis process advances, the total analyzed gas volume at each preset metering time in the analysis result is extracted in real time during the analysis process in this embodiment, thereby obtaining the total analyzed gas volume at different metering times.
[0033] Furthermore, in the step of collecting core samples from the reservoir where the shale gas to be studied is located, a closed coring process is used to collect the core samples, thereby preventing the core samples from being contaminated by drilling fluid. Closed coring refers to a special drilling coring process that enables the core obtained in water-based drilling fluid to be basically free from the contamination of drilling fluid, can truly reproduce the original geological porosity, oil saturation, water invasion and water content of the formation, and is based on the joint action of a special closed coring tool and a closed fluid. Accordingly, this embodiment uses a closed coring process to collect core samples from the reservoir where the shale gas to be studied is located, effectively preventing the core samples from being contaminated by drilling fluid, greatly improving the accuracy of the analysis results, and thereby making the determined existence status of the shale gas to be studied more accurate.
[0034] In the step of analyzing the gas content of the rock mass of the core sample, during the analysis process, the core sample is located in a closed cavity inside the desorption tank, wherein the ambient temperature of the area where the desorption tank is located is the same as the formation temperature of the reservoir where the shale gas to be studied is located. In an embodiment of the present application, after the core sample in the well is collected, the collected core sample is moved from the well to the wellhead position, and then when it reaches the wellhead, it is immediately taken out and placed in the closed cavity inside the desorption tank for analysis. During the analysis process, the ambient temperature of the area where the desorption tank is located is kept the same as the formation temperature of the reservoir where the shale gas to be studied is located, so as to obtain an accurate rock gas content analysis result that is not affected by the external environment and can truly reflect the gas-containing state of the reservoir where the shale gas to be studied is located.
[0035] Further, in step S120, the methane carbon isotope test is performed on the analyzed gas obtained at different analysis sampling times, so as to obtain corresponding methane carbon isotope data. Specifically, the present embodiment also presets a plurality of different analysis sampling times to sample the analyzed gas generated during the analysis process. Based on the characteristic that the analysis results of the core samples are continuously generated as the analysis process progresses, the present embodiment also collects the analyzed gas generated at each preset analysis sampling time in the analysis results in real time during the analysis process, and obtains the analyzed gas at different analysis sampling times. Next, the methane carbon isotope test is performed on the analyzed gas obtained at each analysis sampling time, and the methane carbon isotope data of the analyzed gas at each analysis sampling time is obtained.
[0036] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the time interval between each adjacent metering moment is preferably 30 seconds; and the time interval between each adjacent analytical sampling moment is 60 minutes. It should be noted that the present invention does not specifically limit the time interval between each adjacent metering moment and the time interval between each adjacent analytical sampling moment, and those skilled in the art can set them according to the actual accuracy of the shale gas existence status to be obtained.
[0037] Before performing methane carbon isotope testing on the analyzed gas obtained at different analytical sampling times, this embodiment uses the saturated salt water drainage method to collect the analyzed gas obtained at different analytical sampling times. In practical applications, although the main components of shale gas are alkanes, it also contains a small amount of non-alkane substances. Accordingly, this embodiment uses the saturated salt water drainage method to collect the analyzed gas obtained at each analytical sampling time, avoiding the loss of substances in the analyzed gas that can be dissolved in pure water and react with pure water, and maximizing the comprehensive collection of analyzed gas, thereby improving the accuracy of the results of determining the existence status of shale gas.
[0038] In step S130, the ratio of the total analyzed gas volume at different metering moments to the total analyzed gas content is calculated, and the correlation between the methane carbon isotope data and the analyzed gas volume ratio is analyzed, so as to obtain the existence state of the shale gas to be studied according to the analysis results. In the embodiment of the present application, after the analysis process is completed, the total gas content analyzed from the current core sample is determined according to the total analyzed gas volume at the analysis termination time, and then the total gas content is used, combined with the total analyzed gas volume at each metering moment, to calculate the ratio of the total analyzed gas volume at different metering moments to the total analyzed gas content. Next, the correlation between the methane carbon isotope data and the analyzed gas volume ratio at the same moment is used to determine the correlation between the two, so as to obtain the existence state of the shale gas to be studied according to the correlation.
[0039] In the step of analyzing the correlation between the methane carbon isotope data and the analyzed gas volume ratio, the methane carbon isotope data and the analyzed gas volume ratio are nonlinearly fitted in the rectangular coordinate system, so as to characterize the correlation using the current fitting relationship curve. Specifically, the methane carbon isotope data is used as the x-axis data, and the analyzed gas volume ratio is used as the y-axis data, and the data points of the methane carbon isotope data and the analyzed gas volume ratio belonging to the corresponding coordinate axis and at the same time are mapped to the rectangular coordinate system, and the smooth curve is used to sequentially connect the data points, so as to obtain the following: Figure 2 The nonlinear fitting relationship curve ( Figure 2 1 is an example diagram of the correlation of the method for determining the existence state of shale gas in the embodiment of the present application). Before mapping the analyzed gas volume ratio to the rectangular coordinate system, it is first converted into data in percentage form to facilitate the subsequent calculation of the percentage of adsorbed gas and free gas in the shale gas. Figure 2 The nonlinear fitting relationship curve shown is fitted using the methane carbon isotope data shown in Table 1 and the corresponding data in the statistical table of analyzed gas volume ratios:
[0040] Table 1 Methane carbon isotope data and analyzed gas volume statistics
[0041] Serial number <![CDATA[Methane carbon isotope (δ 13 CPDB (‰))]]> Percentage of analyzed gas volume to total gas volume (%) 1 -31.80 3.70 2 -31.40 12.46 3 -31.00 20.48 4 -30.40 27.95 5 -30.00 33.39 6 -29.10 40.88 7 -28.60 46.59 8 -27.40 53.02 9 -23.50 70.23 10 -19.60 81.92 11 -15.30 88.80 12 -12.00 93.37 13 -9.20 96.27 14 -5.00 99.10
[0042] Further, the current correlation is represented by an exponential function. In the embodiment of the present application, based on the fitted nonlinear fitting relationship curve, it is determined that there is an exponential relationship between the methane carbon isotope data and the analytical gas volume ratio (i.e., the resolution rate), so the present embodiment uses an exponential function to represent the current correlation. Among them, the base of the exponential function is the natural constant e, the methane carbon isotope data represents the independent variable index of the exponential function, and the analytical gas volume ratio represents the dependent variable of the exponential function.
[0043] In the step of obtaining the existence state of the shale gas to be studied according to the analysis results, first, the data point on the current fitting relationship curve at the end time of the analysis is recorded as the first point, and the data point at the initial time of the analysis is recorded as the second point, so that the first point and the second point are connected to form a first straight line; then, a tangent line of the current fitting relationship curve is made with the first point as the tangent point, and a first perpendicular line perpendicular to the x-axis is made through the second point, and then a second perpendicular line is made on the first straight line, wherein the second perpendicular line passes through the intersection of the tangent line and the first perpendicular line; finally, according to the intersection of the second perpendicular line and the current fitting relationship curve, the free gas content in the shale gas to be studied is obtained, and then the adsorbed gas content in the shale gas to be studied is obtained according to the free gas content.
[0044] Continue to refer to Figure 2In a specific embodiment of the present application, the data point on the current fitting relationship curve at the end of the analysis is recorded as the first point (point A), and the data point at the initial time of the analysis is recorded as the second point (point C). Then, the first point (point A) and the second point (point C) are connected to form a first straight line L3. Next, the tangent L1 of the current fitting relationship curve is made with the first point (point A) as the tangent point, and the first vertical line L2 perpendicular to the x-axis is made through the second point (point C), and then the second vertical line L4 perpendicular to the first straight line L3 is made on the first straight line L3, wherein the second vertical line L4 passes through the intersection of the tangent L1 and the first vertical line L2. Afterwards, the intersection of the second vertical line L4 and the current fitting relationship curve is recorded as point B, and a third straight line L5 perpendicular to the y-axis is made through point B. Accordingly, the intersection of the third straight line L5 and the y-axis is recorded as point E, and the y-axis value corresponding to point E is the percentage of free gas content in the current shale gas to be studied. The shale gas to be studied is mainly composed of free gas and adsorbed gas, so the adsorbed gas content percentage can be obtained by using the current free gas content percentage. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the free gas content percentage is about 75%, from which the corresponding adsorbed gas content percentage can be obtained to be about 25%.
