[0032] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all scientific and technical terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention relates.

[0035] In the present invention, the term "rift lake basin" means that the rift lake basin is a kind of lake basin, which refers to a lake basin formed by crustal fracture and collapse, and is characterized by a relatively simple lake plane morphology, often in a narrow and long shape, a relatively straight shoreline, a steep bank slope, a large depth, and a certain regularity. The sediments in the rift lake basin are relatively thick, and the sedimentary sequence is relatively complete, which can reflect the history of the formation and evolution of the lake basin. This kind of lake basin is distributed all over the world, for example, Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake in Yunnan, my country, Qionghai Lake in Sichuan, Hulun Lake in Inner Mongolia, and Qinghai Lake in Qinghai Province are all typical rift lake basins.

[0036] In the present invention, the term "single-well productivity of shale oil in a fault lake basin" refers to the total oil production of a single shale oil well in a fault lake basin during the entire life cycle of the single well from exploitation to final depletion.

[0037] In the present invention, the term "peak period" refers to the period when the production of a single well in a fault lake basin is the highest. Specifically, when the channel of a single well in a fault lake basin is just opened, due to the continuous outflow of impurities such as mud and sand, the monthly production of the single well gradually increases from low to high at the beginning. After the single well in the fault lake basin has been producing for several months (one month or more, generally less than 6 months), the production of shale oil reaches a balance, and then the monthly production of the single well in the fault lake basin will decline slightly (generally speaking, the time is greater than or equal to 6 months). When the monthly production of a single well in a fault lake basin declines, the monthly production values ​​of the single well in the fault lake basin recorded in the history are observed, and the month with the highest monthly production value is the peak period, and the corresponding value of the monthly production of the single well in the fault lake basin is the peak monthly production of the single well in the fault lake basin.

[0038] In the present invention, shale oil wells generally have the characteristics of large initial production fluctuations, rapid production increase, rapid decline after reaching a certain height, and then gradually tending to stability, showing an obvious hyperbolic decline law, indicating that the formation energy changes from strong to weak and then stabilizes. This is because the reservoir permeability is extremely low, and the formation fluid communicates flow channels after fracturing and seaming. After the production reaches a peak, the formation pressure is slowly released, and the fluid flow energy is then weakened. Therefore, the judgment basis of the peak monthly production of the present invention is: the peak monthly production is the instantaneous maximum production of the monthly production of the fault lake basin shale oil well after the exploitation, which rises rapidly, reaches the highest peak, and then enters the decline period.

[0039] In the present invention, the term "improved hyperbolic decline model" refers to: in the field of shale oil and gas, the most widely used model in North America, which is divided into two stages (see Figure 7), the first stage is the hyperbolic decline model, which uses the hyperbolic decline model (i.e. b>1) to predict production in the early stage of shale oil and gas single well production; the second stage is the exponential decline model. In the second stage, since the seepage is mainly affected by the matrix, the production is low and the decline is slow, the exponential decline model is used instead. The improved hyperbolic decline model is different from the conventional (exponential, hyperbolic and harmonic) model. The decline index is between 0 and 1. The hyperbolic decline index of the first stage of the improved hyperbolic decline model is greater than 1, so it is called super hyperbolic. After a period of time, it enters exponential decline.

[0040] The beneficial effects of the present invention are further illustrated below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0041] Example 1: Model selection for predicting single well productivity of shale oil in fault lake basin

[0042] Take 31 shale oil wells in the fault basin of Dagang Oilfield as an example:

[0043] Based on the collection and collation of production data of 31 shale oil single wells in the study area, it is found that the single wells in the area generally have large production fluctuations in the early stage of production, with rapid production increase, rapid decline after reaching a certain height, and then slow decline and gradually tend to be stable, showing an obvious hyperbolic decline law, indicating that after the formation energy is quickly released, it reaches a balanced state and then stabilizes (such as Figure 2 shown).

[0044] However, even for shale oil wells within the range of adjacent development wells, the peak production that can be achieved by each well is different. Taking into account geological, drilling, engineering and other factors, we try to find the reasons that affect the production capacity of a single well. Based on the monthly production data of shale oil wells, we establish the relationship between the horizontal section length of a single well (unit, m), the volume of fracturing fluid per hundred meters (unit, cubic meters), the effective thickness of the oil layer (residual organic carbon content ≥ 2.0%), the effective thickness of the oil layer (deep resistivity ≥ 20 ohm·m), and the decline model to predict the single well production capacity (unit, 10,000 tons) and the peak monthly production (as shown in Figure 2). Figure 1 , Figure 3 to Figure 6 ), and finally found that the correlation between the single well peak monthly production and the single well productivity is good.

[0045] The reasons are summarized as follows: geological, drilling, and engineering factors are complex and changeable. The influencing factors that can be mastered at present are too single, and the correlation between parameters is low, which cannot systematically reflect the advantages and disadvantages of shale oil single wells. The decline model based on production data has outstanding performance because production data is the final reflection after integrating various influencing factors, and has a natural inherent multi-parameter integration attribute. The peak monthly production just reflects the height that a single shale oil well can reach, and there must be some inherent connection with the single well production capacity. When using the decline model to predict the production capacity of a single well, it is only necessary to consider optimizing the decline parameters according to the production data, which makes the evaluation method simple and feasible.

[0046] Example 2 Prediction of single well production capacity of shale oil in fault lake basins Specific method for determining

[0047] With the large-scale development of continental shale oil in the second section of the Cangdong Kong in the Dagang Oilfield, in the work of predicting the productivity of shale oil wells, based on the production data of 31 wells (see Table 1 for specific data), it was found that the correlation between the peak monthly production of a single well and the single well productivity was good, with a correlation coefficient of 0.832. The regression formula y=384.85x+109.59 (y is the peak monthly production, tons; x is the single well productivity, 10,000 tons), as shown in Figure 1 As shown in the figure (n is the number of single wells, r is the correlation coefficient, n=31, r=0.8320), according to this formula, the production capacity of a single shale oil well can be quickly inferred based on the known peak monthly production of the well, thus avoiding the problems of multiple parameters and complex steps in other methods, and the production capacity evaluation of shale oil wells in fault lake basins can be completed more quickly.
