TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field exploration and development, and particularly relates to a method for depicting microstructure of thin shale. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the gradual consumption of conventional oil and gas resources and the increasing difficulty of exploitation, and the rising demand for energy from economic and social development, the contradiction between supply and demand of oil and gas is increasingly prominent, and unconventional oil and gas resources including coalbed methane, tight sandstone oil and gas, shale oil and gas are increasingly valued by people, and have become an important support for rapid increase of global oil and gas reserves. China's shale oil and gas resources are rich in potential, and at present, marine shale has built a number of hundred-billion-scale marine shale gas fields, and has realized large-scale commercial development. Compared with marine shale, widely existing continental shale has the characteristics of thin thickness, frequent sedimentary facies change and strong heterogeneity. With the breakthrough of continental shale oil and gas layer series in Songliao Basin, Bohai Bay Basin, Ordos Basin, Junggar Basin and Sichuan Basin, the Jurassic system in Sichuan Basin has become a hot research field for exploration and development of continental shale oil and gas, which also promotes the development process of continental thin shale oil and gas resources.
[0003] Although the shale layer series with Ro reaching 0.7 or more generally contains oil and gas, only in the layer section with good oil or gas content can horizontal well drilling and large-scale fracturing be implemented to realize the benefit development of shale oil and gas. In order to realize the effective and orderly development of continental thin shale oil and gas, the shale oil and gas horizontal well should preferably select the target window of shale layer series, and the well trajectory should be as parallel as possible to the target layer and pass through the target layer, which requires providing accurate well trajectory adjustment scheme to the drilling engineer in time, and the microstructure depiction of thin shale target layer is particularly important. Therefore, the fine depiction of microstructure of thin shale is also urgently needed, which lays a foundation for the exploration and development of continental shale oil and gas.
[0004] Microstructure refers to the local small structure of the stratum itself in the total oilfield background, the width is usually between 200-400m, and the amplitude is not more than 20m. In the process of horizontal well drilling, it is usually necessary to set a series of logging while drilling to judge the stratum dip angle and the position of the drill bit, and the research and use of logging while drilling are still in the primary stage in China. Due to the high price and use cost of logging while drilling instruments and interpretation software, the logging while drilling instrument with natural gamma and resistivity parameters is mainly used in China at present. The existing technology for microstructure description mainly includes the following two types: ①Using seismic data: using seismic data, combining with stratum division to interpret the layer microstructure or on the basis of structure analysis and stratum division, improving the accuracy of the velocity field to ensure the accuracy of the microstructure map. But limited by the low vertical resolution of seismic data, the microstructure with an amplitude of less than 10m in thin shale cannot be accurately identified by seismic data; ②Using the relationship between the horizontal well (highly deviated well) well trajectory and the layer surface to identify the microstructure or using logging while drilling imaging logging and other logging technology series to obtain the stratum dip angle and tendency, but in the existing microstructure description method using the intersection relationship between the layer surface and the well trajectory, the stratum dip angle is calculated based on the equal thickness of the stratum, or the intersection between the target window internal marker layer and the well trajectory is ignored. There are problems of large error and high cost in obtaining the stratum dip angle change. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a microstructure description technology with high cost performance and suitable for thin shale oil and gas layer, to lay a solid foundation for realizing the exploration and development of continental shale oil and gas.

XXY1-1HF well is the first shale gas horizontal well of the first unconventional test well group deployed in the area. The specific steps of the thin shale target layer microstructure depiction of XXY1-1H well in Puguang gas field are as follows:
