Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of organic shale oil and gas reservoir evaluation, and in particular to a shale maturity logging prediction method and system and computer equipment. Background Art

[0002] After years of research and practice, the exploration and development of shale oil and gas reservoirs in my country has explored geological evaluation methods including oil and gas accumulation areas, sweet spots and sweet sections. The sweet sections are shale oil and gas layers with good oil and gas content, superior reservoir conditions, strong transformability and commercial development value under existing economic and technical conditions. The specific evaluation contents are hydrocarbon generation quality, reservoir quality, engineering mechanics quality and oil content.

[0003] From the perspective of the development of logging rock physics evaluation technology, we have experienced the "four properties" relationship analysis of conventional sandstone and mudstone reservoirs, the "seven properties" analysis of tight oil and gas, and medium-shallow shale gas, and then the "reservoir properties", "oil (gas) content", "mobility", and "compressibility" analysis of shale oil and deep shale gas, and carried out the "three qualities" evaluation of logging around the "sweet spot section". The core of reservoir quality evaluation is reservoir properties, and the key is to accurately evaluate the micro-nano pore system of organic-rich mud shale, including the quantitative characterization of porosity and pore structure. The micro-nano pore system greatly affects the reservoir performance, oil and gas occurrence state, and transmission mechanism of mud shale oil and gas; in addition, most of the oil and gas in mud shale reservoirs exist in the pores in the form of adsorption, and accurate pore structure description and evaluation are the key to predicting and developing mud shale oil and gas.

[0004] The pore system of organic-rich shale is mainly composed of organic pores and inorganic mineral matrix pores. The evolution process of its pore system in the geological period is more complicated than that of conventional reservoirs. It is not only affected by diagenesis, but also by the hydrocarbon generation and expulsion of organic matter. Organic matter, as the material basis of organic pores, must have a positive correlation. The thermal evolution maturity of organic matter directly determines the development degree of organic pores. The compaction resistance of inorganic mineral components affects the preservation capacity of organic pores. With the increase of thermal evolution maturity of organic matter, oil-generating pores, gas-generating pores, mechanical compaction of organic pores and even the disappearance of organic pores appear successively. There is still controversy about the mechanism of the influence of organic matter evolution on the inorganic storage space of shale. It may be related to burial history, thermal evolution history, sedimentary environment, etc. at the macro level, and it may be related to the complex structural relationship of shale at the micro level.

[0005] The influence of shale organic matter on reservoir space is reflected in the physical and chemical transformation of the formation during the thermal evolution process, which far exceeds its own contribution to the total pore size. Therefore, clarifying the relationship between organic matter, organic matter thermal maturity and total porosity in shale reservoirs is of great significance for reservoir evaluation and prediction of "sweet spot" areas. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a shale maturity logging prediction method and system, which reveals the influence mechanism of organic matter on the total porosity of the reservoir during the geological thermal evolution process, and provides a reference for reservoir evaluation and prediction of "sweet spot" areas.

When the total organic carbon content is less than or equal to 2%, the mathematical relationship between total porosity and total organic carbon content of cores is linear. When the total organic carbon content is greater than 2%, the mathematical relationship between total porosity and total organic carbon content of cores is logarithmic, as follows:

[0053] Step 4: Define the pore-increasing efficiency of organic matter in shale reservoirs:

[0054]

[0055]

[0056] Among them, Ro is the vitrinite reflectance, %; k is the defined organic matter pore-increasing efficiency, which indicates the increase in reservoir porosity per unit of total organic carbon content, and is closely related to the thermal maturity Ro of organic matter. As the maturity Ro increases, the reservoir organic matter pore-increasing efficiency decreases;

[0057] Step 5, using the mathematical relationship between the relative porosity and the total organic carbon content of the cores in each region and the vitrinite reflectance data, draw the "three-parameter" chart reflecting the organic matter pore-increasing efficiency k and the vitrinite reflectance Ro in step 4;

[0058] Step 6, obtain the total porosity and total organic carbon content of the shale reservoir core in the test area through regional logging data, and use the method of steps 2-3 above to obtain the mathematical relationship between the relative porosity and the total organic carbon content in the test area. According to the mathematical relationship, the maturity of the shale is predicted through the "three parameters" chart, so as to evaluate and predict the favorable shale reservoir in the unknown area.

[0062] The three-parameter chart is obtained by the following method: obtaining the total porosity, total organic carbon content and vitrinite reflectance of shale cores in multiple different regions; establishing a mathematical relationship between the total porosity and total organic carbon content of the cores in each region and performing a translation change through the origin of the coordinate system to obtain a mathematical relationship between the relative porosity and total organic carbon content of the cores in each region; using the mathematical relationship between the relative porosity and total organic carbon content in each region and the vitrinite reflectance, a three-parameter chart reflecting the maturity of shale is drawn.

[0063] The present invention also provides a computer device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements the steps of the above-mentioned shale maturity logging prediction method when executing the computer program.

[0065] See also Figure 1 The embodiment of the present invention provides a shale maturity logging prediction method, which is operated according to the following steps:

[0066] Step 1: In this embodiment, the total porosity, total organic carbon content, and vitrinite reflectance test data of shale cores from five marine and continental regions at home and abroad are selected.

[0067] Step 2: Create a cross plot between total porosity and total organic carbon content (see Figure 2 ), based on the cross plot between the total porosity and the total organic carbon content of the core, the mathematical relationship between the total porosity and the total organic carbon content in the five regions with a total organic carbon content of less than or equal to 2% and greater than 2% was regressed and the slope and intercept values ​​were determined (see Figure 2 ).

[0068] Step 3: For the cases where TOC is less than or equal to 2% and greater than 2%, the two cases are translated according to the mathematical relationship obtained in step 2. Specifically, the intercept is translated to 0 through the origin of the coordinate system (see Figure 3 ), the following relationship is obtained: in the embodiment, when TOC is less than or equal to 2%, the relative porosity of the five regions is The mathematical expressions of total organic carbon content are as follows:

[0069]

[0070]

[0071]

[0072]

[0073]

[0074] Step 4: Use the mathematical expression obtained in step 3 to combine the vitrinite reflectance of the five regions to draw a "three-parameter" reservoir evaluation and prediction chart of relative porosity, total organic carbon content, and vitrinite reflectance (see Figure 4 ).

[0075] Step 5. For shales in other areas to be tested, the total porosity and total organic carbon content of the shales are obtained through logging data. By implementing steps 2 and 3, the data relationship curve between relative porosity and total organic carbon content can be obtained. The data points on the data relationship curve between relative porosity and total organic carbon content are input into the "three-parameter" reservoir evaluation and prediction chart to determine the organic matter porosity increase efficiency and organic matter maturity, thereby realizing shale reservoir evaluation and favorable reservoir prediction.
