Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas engineering technology, and is an integrated evaluation method for the geological engineering sweet spots of shale reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] China possesses extremely rich shale oil and gas resources, mainly distributed in large basins such as the Ordos, Junggar, Songliao, Bohai Bay, and Sichuan Basin. These resources have enormous development potential, making them the most strategic oil replacement resources and the main force driving crude oil reserve and production growth. However, with the shift towards unconventional resource exploration and development, geological characteristics vary significantly, exhibiting strong heterogeneity, well-developed bedding, and extremely complex fracture propagation. The compatibility of volumetric fracturing technology with reservoirs faces numerous challenges, and technological optimization is crucial for cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Identifying favorable "sweet spots" is the core objective of exploration and development, key to achieving breakthroughs in single-well production, and the foundation for optimizing horizontal well volumetric fracturing. However, numerous factors influence the identification of sweet spots in unconventional shale oil and gas, and their relationships are complex. Domestic and international scholars have conducted extensive research on the evaluation and classification of sweet spots. Currently, the main methods for evaluating sweet spots include the following:
[0003] (1) Liao Dongliang et al. (Liao Dongliang, Lu Baoping, Wang Wei et al. A quantitative evaluation method for engineering sweet spots based on parameter optimization, Patent No.: CN201710208633.5). This method uses the independence weight coefficient method to determine the weights of the main engineering sweet spot parameters; calculates the engineering sweet spot coefficient of shale formation expressed in weights based on the weights of the main engineering sweet spot parameters; and quantitatively evaluates the engineering sweet spot of the shale formation according to the engineering sweet spot coefficient. This method only considers the engineering parameters of the rock and uses the weight coefficient to obtain the correlation with the engineering sweet spot. This method is a feasible method for obtaining engineering parameters, but it considers fewer factors. At the same time, for unconventional reservoirs, it is necessary to pursue the integration of geology and engineering sweet spots, and the geological sweet spot has not yet been considered.
[0004] (2) Wei Zhipeng et al. (Wei Zhipeng, Shi Ruisheng, Wang Hui. Prediction and evaluation of geological and engineering sweet spots in tight sandstone gas reservoirs of the Shihezi Formation 4 in Block L of Ordos Basin [J]. Natural Gas Exploration and Development, 2021, 44(4):107-114). This method uses geostatistical inversion to predict reservoir sand bodies, uses the cokriging algorithm to predict reservoir porosity distribution, and uses the seismic high-frequency attenuation algorithm to predict gas content distribution. The favorable area of geological sweet spots is obtained through multi-parameter fusion. The development status of reservoir fractures is predicted by the seismic ant body algorithm, and then the brittleness index is calculated to determine the compressibility of the reservoir, thereby obtaining the favorable area of engineering sweet spots. This method calculates geological and engineering sweet spots separately, but does not consider the integrated evaluation of geological and engineering sweet spots at the same time, so as to guide the fracturing optimization design and evaluate the risk of engineering construction.
[0005] (3) Xu Jingling et al. (Xu Jingling, Huo Jiaqing, Liu Shuanglian et al. Method and system for predicting sweet spots in shale and mudstone reservoirs, Patent No.: CN202110232294.0). This method obtains attribute parameters related to oil production per meter based on the intersection of attribute parameters of shale and mudstone reservoir facies and daily oil production per meter. Based on these attribute parameters, a comprehensive evaluation model for sweet spots is established to intuitively evaluate the quality of the reservoir. However, it only considers the influencing factors of geological sweet spots and ignores engineering factors.
[0006] None of the three representative methods mentioned above simultaneously considers the integrated evaluation of geological and engineering sweet spots, nor do they take into account the unique geological characteristics of shale bedding, which is a key engineering factor controlling the complexity of fracture networks. Therefore, a new comprehensive evaluation method for the integrated evaluation of geological and engineering sweet spots in unconventional shale reservoirs is needed to provide important guidance for efficient shale oil exploration. Summary of the Invention

[0051] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings:
[0052] Example 1: The integrated evaluation method for geological and engineering sweet spots in shale reservoirs includes the following steps: First, core sampling is carried out in the target shale layer evaluation section, dividing it into several units, and testing the physical properties and mineral composition of the rock samples; second, the rock porosity flow capacity factor is calculated based on the measured rock sample physical properties to quantitatively evaluate the geological sweet spot of the shale reservoir; on this basis, the rock microfracture complexity factor is calculated based on the rock mineral composition to quantitatively evaluate the degree of microfracture development in the original reservoir, and the brittleness factor in the bedding of each rock sample is calculated based on the rock mechanical parameters.

The larger the value, the better the reservoir geology and engineering sweet spot, and the greater the potential for high production capacity after volumetric fracturing, thus conducting an integrated evaluation of the geological and engineering sweet spot of the shale reservoir.
[0053] This invention proposes an integrated evaluation method for shale reservoir geological and engineering sweet spots. This method considers both geological and engineering factors influencing shale sweet spots and defines a new sweetness factor for a comprehensive quantitative characterization of geological and engineering sweet spots. This method redefines traditional shale sweet spot evaluation methods, for the first time incorporating bedding properties into engineering evaluation, while simultaneously pursuing enrichment optimization and maximizing production capacity. It overcomes the previous approach of solely considering reservoir or engineering parameters. Its calculation method is simple and feasible, requiring no extensive field testing, significantly reducing economic costs. It can rapidly evaluate similar unconventional shale oil and gas reservoirs, showing promising application prospects and providing important guidance for the exploration and efficient development of unconventional resources.
[0054] Example 2: The integrated evaluation method for geological engineering sweet spots in shale reservoirs specifically includes the following steps:
[0055] Step S1, Rock Sample Preparation: Divide the target evaluation section of the shale reservoir into several units and carry out continuous core sampling for each evaluation unit; prepare standard rock samples with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 5 cm from the rocks of the shale reservoir section, and dry the standard rock samples in a 100℃ oven until constant weight.
[0056] Step S2, Shale Flowability Index Calculation: The porosity of the dried rock sample described in Step S1 was tested using an automatic helium porosity analyzer and an ultra-low permeability analyzer. Together with permeability k, the flowability factor RI is defined to quantitatively evaluate geological sweet spots. The larger the RI value, the better the physical properties of the shale reservoir and the stronger its flowability. The formula for calculating RI is:
[0057]
[0058] In the formula: RI is the rock sample flowability index, μm2; k is the rock sample permeability, μm2; The porosity of the rock sample is expressed as %.
[0059] Step S3, Shale mineral composition test: The mineral composition of the rock sample in step S1 is tested using an X-ray diffractometer;
[0060] Step S4: Calculate the microfracture complexity factor using the mineral composition test results of the shale sample to evaluate the degree of development of the original microfractures in the reservoir;
[0061] In this embodiment of the invention, step S4 specifically includes the following steps:
[0062] S4.1 Based on the test quality results of different mineral components of shale samples in the target layer evaluation section, calculate the percentage content of different minerals in the shale. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0074] Step S5: Calculation of reservoir sweetness factor: Taking into account the reservoir's flow capacity, the degree of initial microfracture development, and the number of brittle layers in the reservoir bedding, the sweetness factor is further determined. The larger the value, the better the reservoir's geological and engineering sweetness, and the greater the potential to obtain high production capacity after volumetric fracturing.
[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, step S5 specifically includes the following steps:
[0076] S5.1 Classification of Shale Bedding Thickness: In step S5.1, bedding is divided into three categories. Bedding with a thickness less than 0.05 mm is called thin bedding; bedding with a thickness between 0.05 mm and 0.1 mm is called medium bedding; and bedding with a thickness greater than 0.1 mm is called thick bedding. Each rock sample in step S1 is divided into 5 regions with a length of 1 cm. For each region, a length of 0.5 mm is taken from the 0.5 cm position, and the total number of thin bedding, medium bedding, and thick bedding in this length is recorded, as shown in expression (6):
[0077] B Z =BT +B M +B K (6)
[0078] In the formula: B Z B represents the total bedding number of the rock sample. T B represents the thin-layered bedding number of the rock sample. M B represents the bedding number of the rock sample. K The number represents the thick-layered bedding of the rock sample.
[0079] S5.2 Calculation of the number of brittle layers in bedding: When the Young's modulus of a bedding layer is between the Young's modulus values of the two bedding layers above and below it, this bedding layer is called a brittle layer and is more prone to failure. To reduce the workload of experiments, the number of brittle layers in the core area is determined by probability. When a bedding number is selected, if it satisfies the two conditions of equation (7) and equation (8), then the value is equal to the number of brittle layers in the calculated area; where equation (7) and equation (8) are:

[0086] S5.3 Sweetness Factor Calculation: Based on the calculation results of the rock sample flow factor in step S2, the microfracture complexity factor in step S4, and the number of brittle layers in the bedding in step S5, the sweetness factor is further defined. The larger the value, the better the reservoir geological and engineering sweetness. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0087] RE = RI·FI·PI (10)
[0088] In the formula: RE is the sweetness factor, μm2.
[0089] As needed, embodiments of the present invention may further include the following steps: determining favorable zones for the lithology of lamellar fine-grained sedimentary rocks by combining actual oil and gas exploration data.
[0090] This invention discloses the specific steps of an integrated evaluation method for shale reservoir geological and engineering sweet spots. It considers both geological and engineering factors influencing shale sweet spots and defines a new sweetness factor for a comprehensive quantitative characterization of geological and engineering sweet spots. This method redefines traditional shale sweet spot evaluation methods, incorporating bedding properties into engineering evaluation for the first time. It simultaneously pursues enrichment optimization and production maximization, overcoming the previous approach of solely considering reservoir or engineering parameters. Its calculation method is simple and feasible, requiring no extensive field testing, significantly reducing economic costs. It can rapidly evaluate similar unconventional shale oil and gas reservoirs, showing promising application prospects and providing important guidance for the exploration and efficient development of unconventional resources.
