Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration, and particularly relates to a method for determining the genesis of amorphous matter in rocks. BACKGROUND
[0002] Amorphous matter is an important component in rocks, including amorphous organic matter and amorphous inorganic matter. Common amorphous organic matter in rocks includes kerogen, asphalt and the like, and common amorphous inorganic matter includes volcanic glass, opal, diaspore, limonite and the like, and different types of amorphous matter reflect different rock genesis. According to the theory of oil and gas organic genesis, biological polymers in sediments undergo separation, polymerization and polycondensation under biological and chemical action, and can form geological macromolecules-kerogen under diagenesis, and the kerogen can form oil and gas resources after pyrolysis and cracking, and at the same time, can form soluble organic matter-asphalt, so the content of amorphous kerogen and asphalt is closely related to the formation of oil and gas. Similarly, volcanic glass in amorphous inorganic matter in rocks is a kind of glass structure formed by rapid condensation of lava erupted from a volcano without crystallization, and its content is closely related to volcanic action.
[0003] The Permian stratum is one of important strata for natural gas exploration in the Sichuan Basin, and the stratum is mostly a marine-terrestrial transitional facies depositional system, and the natural gas resources thereof include conventional natural gas, unconventional natural gas (shale gas and coalbed gas), sedimentary rock reservoirs and volcanic rock reservoirs. Among them, the shale gas resources of the Wujiaping Formation of the Permian in the Sichuan Basin exceed 600 billion cubic meters, and the Daye 1H well obtains a high-yield industrial gas flow at the layer, which marks a major discovery of shale gas exploration in the Permian in the Sichuan Basin.
[0004] Due to the Permian strata such as the Longtan Formation in the eastern and southern Sichuan Basin and the Wujiaping Formation in the northern Sichuan Basin, the lithology of the reservoir rocks changes greatly in the vertical direction, the mineral composition changes greatly, the heterogeneity is extremely strong, and the rock components are extremely complex, containing both volcanic matter and sedimentary matter, which makes it extremely difficult to analyze the diagenesis and evolution mechanism, and also brings great challenges to the evaluation of the natural gas exploration potential and the next exploration work in the block.
[0005] The existing rock amorphous material analysis mainly relies on polarizing microscope, and uses thin section identification method to identify. Taking two typical amorphous materials, volcanic glass formed by volcanic action and asphalt (organic matter) formed by sedimentation as examples, the composition particles are not crystallized or isotropic, and both of them are amorphous bodies, so there is no obvious optical property under orthogonal polarization, but there is still some difference between the optical property and structure of the two under single polarization. The volcanic glass has certain optical property under single polarization, and the color and texture change characteristics can be observed, but it has no optical property under orthogonal polarization. The asphalt has no optical property under single polarization and orthogonal polarization because its color is black. Since the non-crystal volcanic glass will gradually transform into crystal during geological evolution and form devitrification structure, the glassy structure often coexists with the devitrification structure, so the existence of the volcanic glass can be identified according to different devitrification structures. For the asphalt, it is often distributed in the rock pores, cracks and other structures because it is related to oil and gas migration, so it can be identified according to the spatial position distribution characteristics. However, when the volcanic glass and the asphalt coexist and the content is relatively high, especially when they are interlaced and mixed, because both of them have no optical property under the polarizing microscope, the content of the two cannot be identified by the polarizing microscope, and the influence degree of the volcanic action and the sedimentation cannot be analyzed. SUMMARY
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a method for determining the genesis of amorphous material in rock, which can determine the influence degree of sedimentation and volcanic action by analyzing the content of different types of amorphous material in rock, so as to determine the main controlling factor of diagenesis, and finally determine the main geological action affecting the formation of amorphous material in rock, and realize the quantitative analysis of the genesis.
[0007] The present application is realized by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0015] Step S7. The element distribution characteristics of the three-end-member element distribution diagram are used to identify the genesis of the amorphous material in the rock.
[0016] In step S7, identifying the genesis of the amorphous material in the rock specifically refers to: in the three-end-member element distribution diagram, if the number of scattered points of the carbon end member is more than that of the silicon end member and the aluminum-iron end member, it is determined that the amorphous material is mainly of sedimentary origin; if the number of scattered points of the silicon end member is more than that of the carbon end member and the aluminum-iron end member, it is determined that the amorphous material is of both sedimentary origin and volcanic origin; and if the number of scattered points of the aluminum-iron end member is more than that of the carbon end member and the silicon end member, it is determined that the amorphous material is mainly of volcanic origin.
[0017] If the number of scattered points of the silicon end member is large, the spatial position distribution of the carbon element and the silicon element in the element area scanning map obtained in steps S3 and S5 is determined, and if the spatial position distribution of the carbon element and the silicon element is completely consistent, it is determined that the amorphous material is mainly of sedimentary origin; if the spatial position distribution of the carbon element and the silicon element is completely inconsistent, it is determined that the amorphous material is mainly of volcanic origin; and if the spatial position distribution of the carbon element and the silicon element is not completely consistent, it is determined that the amorphous material is affected by both volcanic action and sedimentary action.
[0018] It also includes determining a plurality of areas of amorphous material that simultaneously contains volcanic glass and organic matter.
[0019] The number of finally determined areas of amorphous material that simultaneously contains volcanic glass and organic matter is at least 10.

[0056] Step S2. The rock powder sample is subjected to X-ray diffraction analysis to determine the amorphous content. Carbon and sulfur analysis is then performed to determine the organic carbon content. When the measured amorphous content is negatively correlated with the organic carbon content, it indicates that the amorphous component is mainly amorphous inorganic matter, and it is determined that the amorphous matter is mainly of volcanic origin. When the measured amorphous content is positively correlated or not correlated with the organic carbon content, the rock thin section in step S1 is analyzed and identified under a single polariscope using a polarizing microscope to determine whether organic matter and volcanic glass exist simultaneously in the rock thin section. If so, proceed to step S3.
[0057] Step S3.

The percentage contents of carbon, silicon, and aluminum + iron elements are used as three end members to make a triangular diagram, and the element percentage contents obtained in steps S3 and S5 are plotted in the form of scattered points on the triangular diagram to form a three-end element distribution diagram.
[0061] Step S7. The element distribution characteristics of the three-end element distribution diagram are used to identify the origin of the amorphous matter in the rock.

The thickness of the rock thin section should meet the technical requirements of "Rock Section Making Method: SY / T 5913-2004", and in principle, the thickness is not greater than 0.035 mm. The thickness of the sub-ion polished section should meet the technical requirements of "Rock Sample Scanning Electron Microscope Analysis Method: SY / T 5162-2021", and in principle, the thickness is not greater than 5 mm.
[0065] Step S2. Perform X-ray diffraction analysis on the rock powder sample to determine the amorphous content thereof, and then perform carbon and sulfur analysis to determine the organic carbon content thereof. When the amorphous content and the organic carbon content are negatively correlated, it indicates that the amorphous component is mainly non-crystalline inorganic matter, and it is determined that the amorphous matter is mainly of volcanic origin.
[0066] When the amorphous content and the organic carbon content are positively correlated or have no correlation, the rock thin section in step S1 is analyzed and identified by a rock thin section identification method. Specifically, the rock thin section is analyzed and identified under a single polariscope by using a polarizing microscope. It is determined whether organic matter and volcanic glass exist in the rock thin section at the same time. If yes, step S3 is entered, and if no, the process is directly ended.
[0067] The rock thin section identification method meets the technical requirements of "Rock Thin Section Identification: SY / T 5368-2016". Volcanic glass has certain optical properties under single polarization, and most of them can be observed for color and texture change characteristics, but under orthogonal polarization, they have no optical properties. Organic matter is black in color, and has no optical properties under single polarization and orthogonal polarization.
[0068] Step S3. The electron probe method is used to perform carbon, silicon, aluminum and iron element area scanning tests on the region where organic matter and volcanic glass exist at the same time in the rock thin section in step S2, to obtain element area scanning maps and corresponding carbon, silicon, aluminum and iron element contents, and to determine whether the region contains carbon, silicon, aluminum and iron elements at the same time.
[0069] Step S4. The scanning electron microscope method is used to identify the sub-ion polished section made in step S1, and the regions of amorphous matter containing volcanic glass and organic matter at the same time are determined according to the special morphological structures of volcanic glass and organic matter. The above steps are repeated to determine at least 10 regions of amorphous matter containing volcanic glass and organic matter at the same time.
[0070] Further, the rock scanning electron microscope method meets the technical requirements of "Rock Sample Scanning Electron Microscope Analysis Method: SY / T 5162-2021", and the special morphological structures of volcanic glass and organic matter specifically refer to the fact that the volcanic glass has a certain gel body structure, and the organic matter has a certain biological structure.
[0071] Step S5. Use the energy spectrometer to test the area in step S4 for carbon, silicon, aluminum, and iron element surface scanning, obtain the element surface scanning map and its corresponding carbon, silicon, aluminum, and iron element percentage content, and determine whether the area contains carbon, silicon, aluminum, and iron four elements at the same time.
[0072] Further, the energy spectrum analysis method should meet the technical requirements of the "Rock and Mineral Energy Spectrum Quantitative Analysis Method: SY / T 6189-2018".
[0073] Step S6. Refer to the attached Figure 1 , take the percentage contents of carbon element, silicon element, and aluminum+iron element as three end elements to make a triangular diagram, and put the element percentage contents obtained in steps S3 and S5 in the form of scattered points in the triangular diagram to form a three-end element distribution diagram.
[0074] Step S7. Use the element distribution characteristics of the three-end element distribution diagram to identify the genesis of the amorphous material in the rock: in the three-end element distribution diagram, if the scattered points of the carbon end element are more than those of the silicon end element and the aluminum-iron end element, it is judged that the amorphous material is mainly formed by sedimentation; if the scattered points of the silicon end element are more than those of the carbon end element and the aluminum-iron end element, it is judged that the amorphous material is formed by both sedimentation and volcanic action; if the scattered points of the aluminum-iron end element are more than those of the carbon end element and the silicon end element, it is judged that the amorphous material is mainly formed by volcanic action.
[0075] Further, if the silicon end element scattered points are more, combine the element surface scanning maps in steps S3 and S5 to judge whether the spatial position distribution of the carbon element and the silicon element in the element surface scanning map is consistent; if the distribution positions of the carbon element and the silicon element are completely consistent, it is judged that the amorphous material is mainly formed by sedimentation; if the distribution positions of the carbon element and the silicon element are completely inconsistent, it is judged that the amorphous material is mainly formed by volcanic action; if the distribution positions of the carbon element and the silicon element are not completely consistent, it is judged that the amorphous material is affected by both volcanic action and sedimentation.
