[0051] Embodiment 1

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment provides a method for quantitatively distinguishing organic and inorganic pores in shale, comprising the following steps:

[0053] S1. The surface of the shale sample is imaged by a scanning electron microscope; wherein the shale sample is polished after being produced;

[0054] S2. Process the imaging results to obtain the pore data file D pore and organic matter data file D o ;

[0055] S3. Organic matter data file D o The organic matter structure is processed by image processing to obtain the organic matter data file D organic ; Among them, image processing is mainly to process the edges of organic structures;

[0056] S4. Organic matter data file D organic The edge of the organic matter structure in the image is expanded outward to obtain the expanded organic matter data file D organic+Preferably, the edge of the organic structure is extended outward by at least one pixel to obtain the organic data file D organic+ Further preferably, it is sufficient to expand outward by one pixel. In this case, the above data file D organic- The organic matter structure in the image is extended by n+1 pixels along the edge to obtain the organic matter data file D organic+ ;

[0057] S5. Determine the pore data file D by position relationship and size pore Are all the pore structures in the same organic matter data file D organic+ intersect, the intersecting area is organic pores, and the non-intersecting area is inorganic pores; in other words, the above data file D is judged by relative position relationship and size. pore Are all the pore structures in the same file D as above? organic+ Intersection: If there is an intersection area, it is an organic pore, and then the data file D of this pore structure is further extracted o-pore (i.e., step S6); if there is no intersection area, it is an inorganic pore, and then the data file D of such pore structure is further extracted. ino-pore (i.e. step S6);

[0058] Step S5 extracts the data file D of the organic pores o-pore , extract the data file D of the inorganic pores ino-pore That is step S6;

[0059] S7. Statistical data file D o-pore , data file D ino-pore and organic matter data file D organic Parameters are used to quantitatively evaluate the pore development characteristics of shale; wherein the parameters include surface porosity and / or pore size distribution.

[0060] In one embodiment, in order to obtain better scanning electron microscope imaging effect, argon ion polishing is used for polishing.

[0062] In one embodiment, step S3 includes the following steps:

[0063] S31. Organic matter data file D o The edges of the organic structure are processed to remove the inorganic pores;

[0064] S32. Restore organic matter data file D o Remove the removed part, restore the organic matter structure, and obtain the organic matter data file D organic .

[0065] In step S31, the organic matter data file D o The reason for processing the edge of the organic structure in the image is that due to the limitation of the grayscale threshold, the inorganic pores are mistakenly classified as organic matter, so this part of the inorganic pores needs to be removed. The method of image processing to remove this part of the inorganic pores is mainly to remove the pixels at the edge of the organic structure. The method usually used is to shrink the organic structure along the edge by n pixels, where n is a positive integer.

[0066] Among them, in step S32, the organic matter data file D is restored o The removed part includes: the organic structure extends along the edge with an equal number of n pixels, where n is a positive integer. Since the inorganic pores are mistakenly classified as organic matter, the organic structure needs to be restored after removing the misjudged inorganic pores.

[0067] In one embodiment, in step S5, the inorganic pores are obtained by calculation, and the formula is D ino-pore =(D pore -D o-pore )+(D o -D organic ).

[0068] The method for quantitatively distinguishing organic and inorganic pores in shale of the present invention is mainly aimed at the complex pore structure of shale. It is based on image processing and utilizes the contraction and expansion algorithm of the organic matter structure. By judging the positional relationship between the pores and the organic matter, the quantitative distinction between organic and inorganic pores is achieved, thereby quantitatively characterizing different types of pore structures of shale.
