[0033] The following describes the embodiments of the present application through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present application. It should be noted that the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0034] Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] In the existing technology, since there is no vitrinite in the Lower Paleozoic and Precambrian marine source rocks, it is impossible to evaluate the maturity of the Lower Paleozoic source rocks through the vitrinite reflectance in the second maturity parameter. In addition, the method of characterizing the maturity of shale organic matter using laser Raman spectroscopy parameters is still in the stage of free exploration and research. Due to the lack of a unified method (including sample preparation, test conditions, spectrum fitting and parameter calculation), the comparability of test results from different units is poor. At the same time, the laboratory method for determining the maturity of organic matter relies on cores, which has the characteristics of long experimental cycle and high coring cost. In actual application, there will be great limitations and poor practical operability.

[0036] Therefore, in order to solve the problem that there is a lack of effective means for logging prediction of organic matter maturity in highly overmature marine shale reservoirs and that quantitative evaluation is difficult, the embodiment of the present application proposes a method and device for obtaining shale organic matter maturity. By establishing a relationship model between maturity factor and shale organic matter maturity, the corresponding relationship between the two is reflected, so that the calculated results have a high consistency with the organic matter maturity of core testing, which lays a foundation for using logging data to evaluate the degree of thermal evolution of highly overmature marine shale reservoirs.

[0037] Next, the method of obtaining shale organic matter maturity is described in detail. Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The following is a flow chart of a method for obtaining shale organic matter maturity proposed in an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a shale gas well to be predicted, and includes:

[0038] Step 101: Input the regional reservoir characteristics into the shale gas reservoir rock physics volume model to calculate the shale resistivity R ts .

[0039] The shale resistivity R ts Unaffected by the degree of thermal evolution of organic matter, regional reservoir characteristics include: clay content, reservoir water saturation, mudstone resistivity, formation water resistivity, and reservoir porosity.

[0040] Shale resistivity R ts The calculation formula is: Among them, V sh is the clay content (%), S w is the reservoir water saturation (%), R sh is the resistivity of mudstone (Ω·m), R w is the formation water resistivity (Ω·m), and φ is the reservoir porosity (%). In addition, regional reservoir characteristics can also include other parameters, and the calculation of parameters is carried out in accordance with the method specified in the "Shale Gas Logging Data Processing and Interpretation Specification SY / T6994-2014".

[0041] Step 102: Calculate the shale resistivity R ts and logging resistivity R t Perform division operation to obtain the maturity factor R ma .

[0042] Maturity Factor R ma Reflects the degree of shale thermal evolution, maturity factor R ma The calculation formula is: Where R ts is the shale resistivity (Ω·m), R t is the logging resistivity (Ω·m).

[0043] Step 103: Establishing the maturity factor R using laser Raman experiment ma Relationship model with shale organic matter maturity.

[0044] Relationship model representation maturity factor R ma The relationship between the maturity factor and the maturity of shale organic matter is established by combining the laser Raman experiment of shales with different maturity levels to establish a relationship model between the maturity factor and the maturity of shale organic matter, which can realize the method proposed in this application. The calculation formula of the relationship model is: R o =a·ln(R ma )+b,R ma is the maturity factor, R o is the maturity of shale organic matter, a is the first coefficient, and b is the second coefficient. The first coefficient a and the second coefficient b are obtained by fitting the least square method through experiments.

[0045] Step 104: For the shale gas well to be predicted, the maturity factor of the shale gas well to be predicted is calculated, and the shale organic matter maturity of the shale gas well to be predicted is obtained according to the relationship model, so as to complete the maturity prediction of the shale gas well to be predicted.

[0046] After obtaining the relationship model, when faced with different shale gas wells to be predicted, we only need to use the logging data to calculate the maturity factor, and then we can directly obtain the maturity of shale organic matter through the relationship model, and then complete the maturity prediction of shale gas wells.

[0047] In a possible embodiment, the regional reservoir is a highly over-mature marine shale gas reservoir, and the logging data of the drilled shale gas wells in the block are selected. The logging data of the drilled wells meet the quality requirements of the "Petroleum Well Logging Raw Data Quality Specification" (SY / T5132-2012) standard. The logging data contains the regional reservoir characteristics of this application. First, the regional reservoir characteristics are input into the shale gas reservoir rock physical volume model to calculate the shale resistivity R ts , and then the shale resistivity R ts and logging resistivity R t Perform division operation to obtain the maturity factor R ma Finally, the laser Raman experiment was used to establish the maturity factor R ma The relationship model with shale organic matter maturity. After calculation, the first coefficient a can be 0.0774, and the second coefficient b can be 3.4027. The relationship model is: R o =0.0774·ln(R ma )+3.4027. Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the relationship model proposed in the embodiment of the present application is shown, and different shale gas wells are selected to obtain a fitting line of the relationship model.

[0048] Please refer to the following Figure 3 , Figure 3 The result diagram of the method for obtaining the maturity of shale organic matter is shown. In the figure, the first track is the geological stratification track, the second track is the lithology curve track (natural gamma, deuranium gamma, well diameter), the third track is the conventional porosity curve (density, acoustic time difference and compensated neutron), the fourth track is the resistivity curve (deep and shallow resistivity), the fifth track is the depth track, the sixth track is the construction resistivity and logging resistivity track, and the seventh track is the logging prediction organic matter maturity track. The construction resistivity and logging resistivity reflect the increase in organic matter maturity at 3035-3076m, showing a high over-maturity feature. The organic matter maturity provided in the embodiment of the present application is compared with the organic matter maturity of the core analysis. The well logging predicted maturity is 3.52%, and the core maturity is 3.54%. The relative error between the two is within 1%, indicating that the method for obtaining the organic matter maturity of highly over-mature marine shale based on logging data provided in the embodiment of the present invention can accurately and reliably determine the organic matter maturity of highly over-mature marine shale, and has a good application effect in actual production.
