Abstract

The invention discloses a method for determining the lower limit of the plugging thickness of adjacent stratums of a shale reservoir, which comprises the following steps of: wrapping the side surface of a roof rock sample by using a heat insulation sealing material, arranging heating, pressurizing and stress devices and sensors on the bottom surface, including temperature, pressure and strain sensors, and arranging a plurality of groups of sensors on the side surface according to a set interval; a heating device is used for heating the bottom of a rock sample to a first set temperature, a pressurizing device is used for pressurizing the bottom to a first set pressure, a stress device is used for applying stress to the bottom of the rock sample from small to large step by step to a first set stress, and the stress is stable until measured values of all sensors are stable; determining the lowest position where the rock sample temperature is not higher than second set temperature, the pressure is not higher than second set pressure and the strain is not higher than set strain according to the measured value of the sensor; determining a roof plugging thickness lower limit; and similarly, determining the bottom plate plugging thickness lower limit. The method can reasonably quantify the lower limit of the plugging thickness of the top and bottom plates of the shale reservoir through joint simulation of temperature, pressure and stress fields.
