[0030] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for determining shale brittleness according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0031] Step S202, obtaining a target rock, wherein the target rock is previously mined in a shale reservoir. In this embodiment, the target rock is the rock to be analyzed for brittleness.

[0032] As an optional embodiment, the target rock can be obtained in the following manner: obtain initial mined rock, wherein the initial mined rock is mined from a shale reservoir; make the initial mined rock into a standard rock sample of a rectangular block with fixed length and width; dry the standard rock sample to a constant weight to obtain the target rock.

[0033] The initial mined rock may be a rock directly mined from a shale reservoir without any processing. This optional embodiment may perform preliminary processing on the initial mined rock to obtain a relatively standard rock that is conducive to brittleness analysis according to this embodiment, i.e., the target rock. Optionally, the rock of the shale reservoir section may be made into a standard rock sample with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 5 cm, and the standard rock sample may be placed in a 100°C oven and dried to a constant weight, to obtain the above-mentioned target rock.

[0034] Step S204, measuring the composition of the brittle minerals and clay minerals included in the target rock to obtain the first mass percentage content of the brittle minerals and the second mass percentage content of the clay minerals.

[0035] Clay is a fine-grained soil or rock composed of fine particles, usually less than 0.002 mm in size. It is composed of one or more major minerals, the most common of which are phyllosilicate minerals.

[0036] Optionally, the brittle mineral may include at least one of quartz, dolomite, calcite, feldspar, and pyrite, and the composition determination may be performed using an X-ray diffractometer. The type of brittle mineral may be selected based on the analytic hierarchy process. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a decision analysis method that aims to help decision makers make decisions between multiple criteria or factors, and to determine the best option by comparing and evaluating the importance of the criteria or factors.

[0037] The basic idea of ​​the AHP is to hierarchize a complex decision problem and decompose it into a hierarchical structure, which is divided into the target layer, the criterion layer and the solution layer from top to bottom. Each layer contains several factors or criteria. At each level, two-to-two comparisons are made to obtain the weights between factors. Finally, the best choice is obtained through the weighted summation between the levels. The use of the AHP can help decision makers decompose complex decision problems into comparable factors, and determine the best choice by comparing and evaluating the importance of factors. This method can make decisions in a quantitative and systematic manner, and improve the accuracy and reliability of decisions.

[0038] Step S206, determining the mixing complexity of the target rock according to the first mass percentage content and the second mass percentage content, wherein the mixing complexity characterizes the mineral combination state of the target rock. Since clay is different from brittle minerals and significantly affects the overall brittleness of the rock, the mass percentage content of clay can be considered separately, and the overall brittleness of the rock can be more accurately evaluated according to the mass percentage content of clay in the entire rock.

[0039] The assemblage of minerals refers to the relative amount and proportion of various minerals in a geological sample or ore. It describes the distribution and relationship of different minerals in the sample.

[0040] The combination state of minerals is crucial to the properties and characteristics of ores. It can affect the physical and chemical properties of ores, such as hardness, density, color, magnetism, etc. Different mineral combinations can also determine the economic value and availability of ores. The degree of mineral combination can be determined by mineralogical analysis of ores. Mineralogical analysis can use methods such as microscopic observation, chemical analysis, and X-ray diffraction to identify and quantify different minerals in ores. By analyzing the content and proportion of various minerals in ore samples, the degree of combination of ore can be understood, thereby evaluating its properties and availability. In summary, the degree of mineral combination describes the relative presence and proportion of various minerals in a geological sample or ore, which is of great significance for studying and evaluating the properties and characteristics of ores.

[0041] As an optional embodiment, determining the mixing complexity of the target rock based on the first mass percentage content and the second mass percentage content may include the following steps: obtaining the number of rock mineral types corresponding to the target rock, wherein the number of rock mineral types is the number of brittle mineral types plus 1; determining the brittle mineral complexity coefficient of the target rock based on the number of rock mineral types and the second mass percentage content, wherein the brittle mineral complexity coefficient is negatively correlated with the second mass percentage content; determining the mixing complexity based on the brittle mineral complexity coefficient, the first mass percentage content and the second mass percentage content.

[0042] In this embodiment, the number of rock mineral species can be recorded as n, which is the number of brittle mineral species plus clay. The clay content in the rock will have a certain degree of negative impact on the brittleness of the rock, so the brittle mineral complexity coefficient can be determined to be negatively correlated with the second mass percentage.

[0043] As an optional embodiment, the brittle mineral complexity coefficient of the target rock is determined based on the number of rock mineral types and the second mass percentage, including: determining the total mass percentage of brittle minerals based on the second mass percentage; dividing the total mass percentage by the second mass percentage and then dividing by the number of rock mineral types to obtain the brittle mineral complexity coefficient.

[0044] As an optional embodiment, the mixing complexity is determined according to the brittle mineral complexity coefficient, the first mass percentage content and the second mass percentage content, which can include the following methods: subtracting the first mass percentage content and the second mass percentage content from the brittle mineral complexity coefficient in turn to obtain a plurality of difference values; taking the absolute values ​​of the plurality of difference values ​​and summing them to obtain a sum value; subtracting the second mass percentage content from the sum value and then adding the brittle mineral complexity coefficient to obtain the mixing complexity.

[0045] Step S208: determining a first rock brittleness index of the target rock according to the mixed complexity, wherein the first rock brittleness index is used to characterize the brittleness of the rock.

[0046] As an optional embodiment, a first rock brittleness index of the target rock is determined based on the mixing complexity, including: determining the maximum mixing complexity and the minimum mixing complexity of the target rock based on the number of rock mineral types; and normalizing the mixing complexity based on the maximum mixing complexity and the minimum mixing complexity to obtain a first rock brittleness index.

[0047] Through the above steps, by obtaining the target rock, the composition of the brittle minerals and clay minerals included in the target rock is determined to obtain the first mass percentage content of each brittle mineral and the second mass percentage content of the clay mineral; according to the first mass percentage content and the second mass percentage content, the mixing complexity of the target rock is determined, wherein the mixing complexity characterizes the mineral combination state of the target rock; according to the mixing complexity, the first rock brittleness index of the target rock characterizing the brittleness of the rock is determined, thereby achieving the purpose of quantitatively evaluating the brittleness of the rock based on the clay mineral content, thereby realizing the technical effect of broadening the quantitative characterization method of rock brittleness assessment, and further solving the technical problem of the lack of a method for quantitatively characterizing the brittleness of the rock based on the clay mineral content.

[0048] As an optional embodiment, a plurality of rocks to be tested are respectively taken out from a plurality of divided units in a shale reservoir; a second rock brittleness index corresponding to each of the plurality of rocks to be tested is respectively determined; a maximum index value among the first rock brittleness index and the second rock brittleness index is determined; and a mining position of the rock corresponding to the maximum index value in the shale reservoir is determined as an engineering sweet spot in the shale reservoir.

[0049] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a quantitative characterization method based on the effect of clay content on the brittleness of shale reservoirs. Based on the above optional embodiments, a comprehensive evaluation system affecting the compressibility of shale rocks can be first established using the analytic hierarchy process. Secondly, the shale target layer section is divided into several units, continuous coring is carried out for each unit, and the mineral composition of the rock sample is tested. Finally, based on the mineral composition of the tested rock samples, the effect of clay mineral content on the brittleness of shale is particularly pointed out, and the rock brittleness index is comprehensively calculated to quantitatively evaluate the degree of development of initial microcracks in the reservoir. The larger the value, the greater the potential for volume fracturing to form a fracture network, and the better the rock brittleness, thereby achieving the purpose of quantitative evaluation of the brittleness of shale reservoir rocks.

[0050] Based on the above embodiments and optional embodiments, the present invention provides the following specific implementation methods for quantitatively characterizing the effect of clay content on the brittleness of shale reservoirs:

[0051] (1) Establishment of a multi-level evaluation system: A multi-level evaluation system was established using the analytic hierarchy process, which classified the minerals that affect rock compressibility into quartz, dolomite, calcite, feldspar, pyrite, and clay;

[0052] (2) Rock sample preparation: Divide the target evaluation section of the shale reservoir into several units, and conduct continuous coring work for each evaluation unit. Make the rock of the shale reservoir section into a standard rock sample with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 5 cm, and place the standard rock sample in a 100°C oven to dry to constant weight;

[0053] (3) Shale mineral content test: Use X-ray diffractometer to test the mineral composition of the rock sample in step (2);

[0054] (4) Calculation of shale rock brittleness index: The rock brittleness index is calculated comprehensively using the test results of the mineral content of shale samples. The larger the value, the more developed the initial microcracks and the stronger the ability to form a fracture network during shale reservoir development, thereby evaluating the engineering sweet spot of the shale reservoir. Specifically, it includes the following contents:

[0055] ① According to the test quality results of different mineral components of shale samples in the target shale section, calculate the percentage content of different minerals. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0056]

[0057] Where: i is the number of different minerals in shale samples, dimensionless; W is the mass percentage of different minerals in shale samples, %; M is the mass of different minerals in shale samples, g.

[0058] ② Using the mechanical properties of minerals, considering the influence of clay mineral content in shale, the rock combination complexity is expressed in the mixing complexity of the main minerals in the rock. The calculation formula of the brittle mineral complexity coefficient is as follows:

[0059]

[0060] Where: K is the complexity coefficient of brittle minerals, %; Qclay is the mass percentage of clay, %.

[0061] ③ According to the percentage difference of brittle minerals and clay in shale samples, the complexity Z is calculated. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0065]

[0066]

[0067] ⑤ Calculate the rock brittleness index C. In order to facilitate observation and classification, the value range of the rock brittleness index is set between 0 and 1. The calculation formula of the rock brittleness index C is as follows:

[0068]

[0069] Where: C is the rock brittleness index, dimensionless; Z is the complexity, dimensionless.

[0070] The method provided in the above specific implementation method couples brittle minerals with clay minerals to define a new brittleness index to quantitatively characterize the degree of microcrack development in rocks, thereby greatly improving the developability and accuracy of brittleness evaluation of shale reservoirs. Compared with the current evaluation of microcrack development by means of well logging and microseismic monitoring, this method greatly saves testing costs, and its calculation method is simple and feasible.

[0071] Furthermore, the present invention also provides the following specific embodiment, which is a specific embodiment of the quantitative characterization of the brittleness of core samples taken from a horizontal well in a shale reservoir in a certain block, illustrating the practicality of the method.

[0072] This example provides a quantitative characterization method for the effect of clay content on the brittleness of shale reservoirs, as follows:

[0075] (3) Shale mineral content test: The mineral composition of the rock sample in step (2) was tested using an X-ray diffractometer, see Table 1.

[0076] Table 1 Rock sample mineral composition quality test results

[0077]

[0078] (4) Calculation of shale rock brittleness index:

[0081]

[0082] ② Using the mineral mechanical properties, the rock combination complexity is expressed in the mixing complexity of the main minerals in the rock, using the formula The brittle mineral complexity coefficient was calculated, where six minerals were selected, so n was equal to 6. The calculation results are shown in Table 3 and Appendix Figure 3 shown.

[0085] ③ According to the percentage difference of brittle minerals and clay in shale samples, use the formula to calculate Complexity Z, the results are shown in Table 4.
