[0002] Shale gas refers to the natural gas accumulation in the shale formation system in the form of adsorbed and free states, which is stored in the organic-rich shale and its interlayered muddy siltstone. It is an unconventional natural gas. When judging the gas content of shale gas based on the shale gas content determination method (SY / T 6940-2013) and the shale gas reservoir description technical specification (NB / T 1400-2015), the gas content is ≤1.50m 3 / t, the evaluation category is poor (Class III), 1.50m 3 / t≤gas content≤2.50m 3 / t is medium (Class II), gas content ≥2.5m 3 / t is good (Class I). In recent years, many factors have been involved in the prediction and evaluation of shale gas sweet spots at home and abroad, mainly including burial depth, shale thickness and distribution, total organic carbon content, vitrinite reflectance, porosity, permeability, brittleness index, total gas content, free gas, adsorbed gas, desorption rate and pore pressure.

[0005] Yang Zhenheng proposed to first determine the average temperature of the shale gas well, obtain the quality, gas volume and time of the core of the target layer of the shale gas well, determine the initial diffusion coefficient of the target layer of the shale gas well, and identify the sweet spot layer of the shale gas well based on the initial diffusion coefficient of the shale gas well. 总含气量 The combined application of ) and initial diffusion coefficient (IDC) can better identify shale gas sweet spots and avoid the risk of single-factor identification of gas content.

[0006] Zhao Ankun et al. proposed to obtain various geological parameters in reservoir sweet spots, preservation sweet spots and pressure coefficient sweet spots, evaluate geological characteristic parameters related to shale gas content, establish a mapping relationship between the geological characteristic parameters and shale gas content through the BP neural network model, obtain the optimal weights of various geological characteristic parameters, and obtain a sweet spot distribution prediction model for shale reservoirs by quantitatively superimposing various parameter plane maps. This prediction method systematically analyzes the influence of various geological parameters in reservoir sweet spots, preservation sweet spots and pressure coefficient sweet spots on shale gas content, combines BP neural networks, clarifies the weights of geological parameters in sweet spots in different tectonic areas, and quantitatively predicts the distribution of shale gas sweet spots in shale reservoirs.

[0007] Yu Qian proposed to list sedimentary conditions, reservoir conditions and preservation conditions as criterion layers, and to list the parameters of sedimentary conditions, reservoir conditions and preservation conditions as indicator layers respectively. The indicators of the same layer were compared in pairs to form multiple discriminant matrices, and the weights of each parameter in each indicator layer relative to the corresponding criterion layer were calculated. The shale gas sweet spots were confirmed according to the measured values ​​of each parameter and its corresponding weight. Through systematic analysis of the influence of various geological parameters in sedimentary conditions, reservoir conditions and preservation conditions on shale gas content, combined with multi-level fuzzy recognition methods, the weights of geological parameters of sweet spots in different tectonic areas were clarified, and combined with the quantitative plane distribution map of each parameter, the distribution of shale gas sweet spots was predicted by weighted summation.

[0008] Chen Zhiwei et al. proposed to first obtain the tank top gas samples obtained from logging, measure the methane carbon isotope values ​​in the tank top gas samples in different time periods, and then perform curve fitting on the data series of methane carbon isotope values ​​obtained in different time periods. The obtained curves are integrated and differentiated in turn to form a model algorithm that characterizes the storage characteristics of shale reservoirs and analyzes the gas volume. The shale gas reservoir quality is then classified according to the above-mentioned model algorithm to divide the sweet spot layer.

[0009] The above-mentioned existing technical methods are mainly based on geological, geochemical, geophysical means to study and evaluate shale gas sweet spots. However, there are no reports on methods for using field analytical data and microscopic bedding fracture data to construct models for shale gas sweet spots.

[0010] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a shale gas sweet spot layer evaluation method, electronic equipment and medium.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0047] The present invention provides a shale gas sweet spot layer evaluation method, comprising:

[0048] Obtain the inlet temperature and outlet temperature of the drilling fluid mud of the core well and calculate the average temperature;

[0049] Remove the core, weigh it and analyze it on site;

[0050] Obtain the lost gas volume and analyzed gas volume, and then calculate the total gas content of the sample;

[0051] The analyzed samples are vertically cut, cleaned and dried to obtain the microscopic bedding fracture data of the samples;

[0052] Constructing the escape velocity index;

[0053] A dual-factor evaluation model of total gas content and escape velocity index was established to evaluate shale gas sweet spots.

[0054] In one example, performing on-site resolution includes:

[0055] After the core is weighed, it is placed in a sealed analytical tank, which is then placed in a water bath at an average temperature and connected to an instrument for on-site analysis;

[0056] After the first period of analysis, the analysis tank was placed in an electric heating box at a temperature of 120°C and continued to analyze until the analysis was completed.

[0057] In one example, the first duration is 3 hours.

[0058] In one example, obtaining the lost gas volume and the analyzed gas volume includes:

[0059] The lost gas volume is obtained based on the data of the first period, and the analyzed gas volume is obtained based on the instrument data.

[0060] In one example, the total air content is:

[0061] G 总含气量 =G 解析气 +G 损失气

[0062] Among them, G 总含气量 is the total gas content, G 损失气 is the gas loss, G 解析气 To analyze the gas volume.

[0063] In one example, the microscopic bedding fracture data is a bedding fracture density parameter.

[0064] In one example, the escape velocity exponent is:

[0065] EVI=1.06EXP(0.0175X)

[0066] Among them, X is the bedding fracture density parameter, and EVI is the escape velocity index.

[0067] In one example, if the total gas content and the escape velocity index are both higher than the corresponding set thresholds, it is a shale gas sweet spot layer.

[0068] Specifically, high gas content does not necessarily mean high production capacity. To achieve high production capacity, a high initial diffusion coefficient (IDC) is usually required. However, the initial diffusion coefficient (IDC) is sometimes difficult to obtain. Micro-bedding fractures are high-speed channels for shale gas escape and production. This method proposes the idea of ​​constructing an escape velocity index based on the density of micro-bedding fractures. The constructed escape velocity index (EVI) is combined with the total gas content (G 总含气量 ) can well identify shale gas sweet spots and have a good indication of high-yield and stable-yield layers.

[0069] This method mainly includes the following steps:

[0070] Get the inlet temperature of the core well drilling fluid (T in ) and outlet temperature (T out ), calculate the average temperature (T mean );

[0071] When the core reaches the wellhead, quickly take out the core of appropriate length, weigh the weight m of the core, and then quickly place it in a desorption tank and seal it. Place the desorption tank at an average temperature (T mean ) in a water bath and connected to an instrument for on-site analysis for 3 h;

[0072] After 3 hours, place the desorption tank in an electric heating box at a temperature of 120°C to continue desorption until the desorption is completed, and continue desorption until the desorption gas volume per hour is less than 0.5 ml;

[0073] According to the data of the previous 3 hours, the gas loss volume (G 损失气 ), and obtain the analytical gas volume (G 解析气 ), and at the same time obtain the total gas content G of the sample 总含气量 =G 解析气 +G 损失气 ;

[0074] The analyzed samples are vertically cut, cleaned and dried to obtain the microscopic bedding fracture data of the samples, mainly the bedding fracture density parameter X;

[0075] Construct the escape velocity index (EVI), EVI = 1.06EXP (0.0175X);

[0076] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a shale gas sweet spot layer evaluation template based on total gas content and EVI index according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0077] Establish the total gas content (G 总含气量 ) and the escape velocity index (EVI) dual factor evaluation model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the double high (high total gas content (G 总含气量 ) and the high escape velocity index (EVI) have a good indication of gas content and can make a good prediction for high-yield and stable-yield wells, which can effectively avoid the use of total gas content (G 总含气量 )Predict deficiencies and risks in the dessert layer.

[0078] The present invention also provides an electronic device, which includes: a memory storing executable instructions; and a processor, which runs the executable instructions in the memory to implement the above-mentioned shale gas sweet spot layer evaluation method.

[0079] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores a computer program. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the above-mentioned shale gas sweet spot layer evaluation method is implemented.
