Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] At present, unconventional oil and gas resources have realized large-scale development, among which shale oil and gas is expected to become the main force for increasing reserves and production of crude oil and natural gas. In the exploration and evaluation of shale oil and gas reservoirs, oil content is a basic parameter for predicting the resource potential and an important reference for in-depth study of shale oil and gas enrichment mechanism.
[0003] For middle-high maturity shale reservoirs, just after entering the gas generation stage from the oil generation window, the reservoirs contain a certain amount of gaseous hydrocarbons and crude oil, and both should be quantitatively evaluated when evaluating the resource potential of the reservoirs, and the quantification of gas-oil ratio has certain reference significance for evaluating and predicting the oil mobility in shale oil reservoirs. At present, according to the 'Shale Gas Content Determination Method' (SY / T6940-2020), the gas content of high-over mature marine shale reservoirs cannot be tested, and the oil content cannot be tested. The oiliness evaluation methods include chloroform asphalt "A", rock pyrolysis method and nuclear magnetic resonance testing method, etc. When these methods are used to characterize the content of hydrocarbons in the reservoir, the rock samples are not specially treated, and the content of light hydrocarbon components in the middle-high maturity shale reservoirs is high and volatile, so the content of gaseous hydrocarbons in the sample and the content of light components in the crude oil cannot be accurately measured.
[0004] In order to accurately measure the amount of crude oil in the reservoir, the low-temperature freezing method is currently used to preserve and crush the sample to avoid the loss of hydrocarbons in the core sample during the surface transfer process, and then a small amount of powder sample is taken to measure the content of hydrocarbons according to the 'Rock Pyrolysis Analysis' (GB / T18602-2012) for rock pyrolysis temperature programming. This method can avoid the loss of part of the light liquid hydrocarbons to a certain extent, but it cannot distinguish the content of residual gaseous hydrocarbons in the test sample and calculate the amount of lost gas, and it also cannot estimate the recoverable oil content in the sample. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a method for quickly, continuously and accurately testing the gas content and recoverable oil content in the sample. SUMMARY

Wherein, G ad = V ad / m t , V ad represents the desorbed gas volume under standard conditions (20℃, 0.101325MPa), and V ad = (293.15P mXV d ) / [0.101325x(273.15+T m )];P m represents atmospheric pressure, V d represents desorption gas volume, T m represents ambient temperature.

[0059] S22, desorption refers to the reverse process of adsorption, which is an operation of separating the absorbed gas from the absorbent (corresponding to the core in the present technical solution). In the process of desorption, as the adsorbed gas in the core becomes less and less, the desorption rate will also gradually decrease. Based on this, whether the desorption has been completed can be judged according to the way of obtaining the desorption rate. The simplest way to obtain the rate is to obtain the desorption gas volume in different time periods. Based on this, the shale gas content measuring device can be set to detect the gas volume detection time.
[0060] S23, the shale gas content measuring device intermittently detects and records the desorption gas volume of the desorption tank according to the set gas volume detection time, and simultaneously obtains the corresponding desorption rate V 解 .
[0061] S24, based on the special structure inside the core, some gas will always remain inside the core. Therefore, the desorption rate V 解Drop to zero, which brings difficulty to determine whether desorption has been completed, for this, first preset a minimum allowable rate V t , determine whether the desorption rate V 解 is less than the minimum allowable rate V t ; if not, return to S23, if yes, the sample desorption can be ended.

Based on the characteristics that the desorption rate is getting slower and slower, it is not meaningful to detect the gas quantity many times in a period of time in the later stage of desorption, and it will also increase the data processing amount, based on this, the gas detection time is set based on the characteristics that the desorption rate is getting slower and slower, that is, the shale gas content measuring device is set to count once every 5 minutes in the first hour of sample desorption, once every 10 minutes in the second hour, once every 15 minutes in the third hour, and once every 30 minutes after the third hour.
[0069] S23, the shale gas content measuring device intermittently detects and records the desorption gas of the desorption tank according to the set gas detection time, and obtains the corresponding desorption rate V 解 based on the detected desorption gas, the desorption rate V 解 may be the average desorption rate in each counting time interval.
[0070] S24, based on the special structure inside the core, some gas will always remain inside, so the desorption rate V 解 drops to zero, which makes it difficult to determine whether the desorption has been completed, for this, a minimum allowable rate V t may be first preset, and then it is determined whether the desorption rate V 解 is less than the minimum allowable rate V t ; if not, return to S23, if yes, the sample desorption can be ended; wherein the minimum allowable rate V t is 3cm 3 / 30min.

[0077] S3, sample preservation: knock off two pieces of the desorption sample as pyrolysis samples; one piece of the pyrolysis sample is placed in liquid nitrogen for frozen preservation as a frozen sample, which can ensure that the volatile matter is completely locked in the desorption sample; the other piece of the pyrolysis sample is preserved at room temperature as a room temperature sample.

The bound oil is mainly macromolecular heavy hydrocarbon, resin asphaltene component, and light-medium oil adsorbed in the micropores and nanometer pores of kerogen and clay minerals, and the evaporation, cracking and thermal desorption temperature thereof is mainly between 350°C and 450°C, but the cracking temperature of high-wax hydrocarbon and other such macromolecular bound oil adsorbed in the micropores and nanometer pores of kerogen and clay minerals is above 450°C, thus, by using the principle of similar phase solubility, dichloromethane is used to extract the light-heavy oil component in the sample, and the kerogen (solid hydrocarbon) in the remaining sample, and the kerogen degradation and hydrocarbon generation temperature needs to be above 450°C, thus S2’ characterizes the solid hydrocarbon content. Thus, the kerogen and bound hydrocarbon content above 450°C can be distinguished, S 1-2 * +S2 * -S2’ is the bound oil content.
[0112] Example 6
[0113] This embodiment discloses a method for testing shale oil and gas content parameters. As a preferred embodiment of the invention, specifically in Embodiment 5, hundreds of raw samples may be collected from a single wellbore. If each raw sample involves a pyrolysis test of frozen samples, the workload of shale oil and gas content testing would be significantly increased. Therefore, to reduce the workload, a subset (e.g., 10) of the raw samples are selected to participate in the pyrolysis test of frozen samples. Then, a correlation scatter plot is created using the parameter values (hydrocarbon content parameters) obtained from the freeze-pyrolysis and room-temperature pyrolysis experiments at the same temperature range. A linear regression model is then used to fit the scatter plot, establishing a correction formula for the room-temperature pyrolysis parameters. The S0 value can be obtained from the room-temperature pyrolysis experiment (pyrolysis test of room-temperature samples). * S 1-1 * S 1-2 * S2 * , will S0 * S 1-1 * S 1-2 * S2 * Substituting these values into the correction formula yields the corresponding freeze-pyrolysis (pyrolysis of frozen samples) values S0 and S2. 1-1 S 1-2 S2.
