Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shale oil and gas exploration and development, and in particular to a method and a device for determining shale soft porosity by using a gas measurement method as a constraint. Background Art

[0002] The calculation of shale porosity is one of the key technologies for shale oil resource evaluation. Shale pores are composed of hard pores (inorganic pores in the rock skeleton) and soft pores (organic pores in the kerogen part). Pores or cracks with an aspect ratio of less than 0.01 are usually defined as soft pores.

[0003] Hard pores basically do not change under the action of pressure, so the increase of overburden pressure will not lead to a decrease in hard porosity, while soft porosity will decrease due to the closure of soft pores. During the thermal evolution of shale, as the temperature increases, organic matter continues to decompose, and the fluid type gradually changes from oil to gas, causing the soft porosity to increase with the increase in temperature. During this process, the hard porosity does not change much.

[0004] Existing technologies for studying shale porosity cannot dynamically obtain the soft porosity of shale under different pressure conditions. However, studying the seismic wave dispersion effect of shale reservoirs requires studying soft porosity; studying the mining potential of shale reservoirs also requires obtaining total porosity and soft porosity.

[0033] The pore structure of rocks can usually be idealized as the composition of intergranular pores between mineral particles and microcracks between connected pores. Therefore, the pore structure of rocks can be characterized as the composition of hard pores and soft pores of different pore shapes. The shape of the pores is usually represented by the pore aspect ratio α. For real rocks, the shapes of soft pore distribution vary. Soft pores cannot be represented by a single pore aspect ratio, but should be characterized by a continuous pore aspect ratio distribution. The method of David and Zimmerman (2012) can be used to invert the continuous pore structure of reservoir rocks through dry data measured by ultrasonic measurement.

[0034] (1) α is defined as the pore aspect ratio, which is used to characterize the shape of the pore.

[0035] (2) Calculate K by measuring the ultrasonic longitudinal and transverse wave velocities at high pressurestiff and μ stiff .

[0036] K stiff and μ stiff The bulk modulus and shear modulus are when the soft pores in the rock are completely closed. Both belong to the elastic modulus of the rock. The bulk modulus and shear modulus can be calculated by the longitudinal and shear wave velocities using existing public methods.

[0037] (3) Definition of φ s Hard porosity.

[0038] (4) K0 and μ0 are the bulk modulus and shear modulus of the rock particle matrix, respectively, which are obtained through rock mechanics experimental measurements.

[0039] (5) The above variables satisfy the Mori-Tanaka formula (1973) under two premises: the rock contains only hard pores and the hard pores of the rock have only a single pore aspect ratio.

[0040]

[0041]

[0042] Formula (1) and (2) K stiff and μ stiff are the bulk modulus and shear modulus when the soft pores are completely closed, φ s is the hard porosity, K0 and μ0 are the bulk modulus and shear modulus of the rock particle matrix, respectively, and P s and Q s The aspect ratio α s It is the pore shape expression of the function and is only used as an intermediate parameter in the derivation of the formula.

[0043] (6) Measurement of K d and μ d , are the effective bulk modulus and equivalent shear modulus of the rock sample containing porosity, respectively.

[0044] (7) The Mori-Tanaka formula (1973) is changed again. At this time, the matrix modulus of the rock skeleton is composed of the bulk modulus and shear modulus (K stiff and μ stiff )replace.

[0045]

[0046]

[0047] In formulas (3) and (4), φ c is the soft porosity; Pc and Q c The aspect ratio α c is the soft pore shape expression of the function and is only used as an intermediate parameter in the derivation of the formula.

[0048] (8) Define ε as the crack density and define ν stiff is the Poisson's ratio of the rock when the soft pores are completely closed.

[0049] (9)Use Formula (5) is used to further derive and transform Formula (3) and Formula (4):

[0050]

[0051]

[0052] (10) Establish the relationship between crack density and pressure:

[0053]

[0054] In formula (8), ε is the fracture density, ε0 ​​is the initial fracture density of the rock sample under zero pressure conditions, p is the test pressure, is the pressure value determined by fitting.

[0055] (11) Calculate the minimum initial aspect ratio α using the following formula i :

[0056]

[0057] In formula (9), ε p is the fracture density of specific soft pores in the rock sample under the effective pressure P, and ε0 is the initial fracture density of the rock sample under zero pressure.

[0058] (12) Substituting formula (8) into formula (9), further transformation yields:

[0059]

[0060] E stiff is the Young's modulus of the rock when the soft pores are completely closed. The pressure test is divided into n equal intervals of △p. Here, it is similar to the concept of integration. The larger n is, the smaller dp is. The calculated α i The smaller the change, the higher the accuracy of the aspect ratio. This formula can calculate the minimum initial aspect ratio α at each pressure point i , further integration and accumulation can be used to calculate the crack aspect ratio at each pressure point.

[0061] (13) The soft porosity can be calculated by substituting the fracture aspect ratio α calculated by equation (10) and the fracture density ε calculated by equation (8) into equation (5).

[0062] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method and device for determining the soft porosity of shale using the gas logging method as a constraint, which can determine the soft porosity under any pressure by using the Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of the rock sample when the soft pores are completely closed.

[0063] Example

[0064] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining the soft porosity of shale using the gas logging method as a constraint, and the process thereof is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0065] Step S11: establishing a corresponding relationship between fracture density and test pressure according to experimental data pairs of fracture density and test pressure of multiple shale samples in the shale reservoir.

[0066] According to the experimental data of fracture density and test pressure of multiple shale samples in the shale reservoir, the above formula (8) is determined by data fitting: ε0 can be determined by experiment or by fitting deduction, thus obtaining the corresponding relationship between crack density and test pressure. The fitting results of the corresponding relationship between crack density and test pressure can be found in Figure 2 As shown, the experimental measurement curve is the curve obtained by directly connecting the experimental data two by two.

[0067] Step S12: Obtain a first curve of total porosity versus test time obtained through a porosity gas testing experiment for a target rock sample in the reservoir, and a second curve of pressure versus test time, determine the position on the second curve where the slope begins to be less than a set slope threshold, and use the total porosity corresponding to the position as hard porosity.

[0068] See also Figure 3 As shown, there are example graphs of the first curve (curves 2 and 4) of total porosity varying with test time and the second curve (curves 1 and 3) of pressure varying with test time obtained through porosity gas testing, wherein curves 1 and 2 are measurement results parallel to the shale bedding direction, and curves 3 and 4 are measurement results perpendicular to the shale bedding direction.

[0069] Step S13: Determine a plurality of test pressures between the pressure at the position and the minimum pressure.

[0070] According to the set pressure interval, multiple test pressures between the pressure at the position and the minimum pressure are determined. The smaller the set pressure interval, the higher the calculation accuracy and the greater the calculation amount. Therefore, the pressure interval can be determined by comprehensively considering the calculation result accuracy requirements and the calculation amount.

[0071] Step S14: For each test pressure, the difference between the corresponding total porosity and hard porosity on the first curve is used as the first soft porosity under the pressure, and the second soft porosity under the pressure is determined according to the current corresponding relationship and the Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of the target rock sample when the soft pores are completely closed.

[0072] The process of determining the second soft porosity for each test pressure condition may include:

[0073] (1) Determine the crack density under the pressure using the current correspondence.

[0074] According to the specific data of the test pressure, the crack density under the pressure is determined by formula (8).

[0075] (2) Based on the Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of the target rock sample when the soft pores are completely closed, determine the fracture aspect ratio at this pressure.

[0076] The Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus when the soft pores are completely closed can be determined based on the longitudinal and transverse wave velocity measurement results when the test pressure is higher than the set pressure, that is, determined by the high-pressure longitudinal and transverse wave velocity measurement results.

[0077] According to the Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of the target rock sample when the soft pores are completely closed, the minimum initial aspect ratio corresponding to the pressure interval is determined by formula (10); based on the minimum initial aspect ratio corresponding to the pressure interval, the fracture aspect ratio under the pressure is determined by the integral accumulation method.

[0078] (3) The soft porosity at this pressure is determined based on the fracture density and fracture aspect ratio.

[0079] According to the fracture density and fracture aspect ratio, the soft porosity under this pressure is determined using formula (5):

[0080] Step S15: Correct the current corresponding relationship until the error between the second soft porosity determined according to the current corresponding relationship and the first soft porosity meets the set error requirement, thereby obtaining an optimized corresponding relationship.

[0081] The correspondence between the optimized fracture density and the test pressure is used to determine the soft porosity at a set pressure according to the Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of the rock sample to be tested when the soft pores are completely closed.

[0082] The method for determining the soft porosity of shale using the gas testing method as a constraint provided in an embodiment of the present invention uses the soft porosity determined by the data obtained from the gas testing experiment of the rock sample porosity as a constraint condition, and corrects the correspondence between the fracture density and the test pressure until the soft porosity determined using the corrected correspondence is close to the constraint condition, thereby obtaining an optimized correspondence between the fracture density and the test pressure. On this basis, the Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of the rock sample when the soft pores are completely closed can be used to determine the soft porosity at any pressure.

[0083] The method for determining the soft porosity of shale with the gas measurement method as a constraint provided in an embodiment of the present invention, based on the optimization of the corresponding relationship between the fracture density and the test pressure, only requires the Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of the rock sample when the soft pores are completely closed, so as to determine the soft porosity under any pressure. The Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of the rock sample when the soft pores are completely closed can be calculated through the measurement results of the longitudinal and transverse wave velocities under high-pressure conditions. The measurement of the longitudinal and transverse wave velocities under high-pressure conditions is easy to implement and is non-destructive to the rock sample.

[0084] Based on the inventive concept of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a device for determining the soft porosity of shale using the gas logging method as a constraint. The structure of the device is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, including:

[0085] A corresponding relationship establishing module 41 is used to establish a corresponding relationship between fracture density and test pressure according to experimental data pairs of fracture density and test pressure of multiple shale samples in the shale reservoir;

[0086] The gas testing hard porosity determination module 42 is used to obtain a first curve of total porosity variation versus test time obtained by a porosity gas testing experiment of a target rock sample in the reservoir, and a second curve of pressure variation versus test time, determine a position on the second curve where the slope begins to be less than a set slope threshold, and use the total porosity corresponding to the position as hard porosity;
