Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of oil and gas exploration technology, and in particular to a method for classifying and evaluating the oil-bearing capacity and mobility of shale based on micro-migration. Background Technology

[0002] As exploration of continental shale oil deepens, the mismatch between shale oil production and resource potential remains a significant challenge. Continental basins primarily develop matrix-type, interbedded, and mixed-sedimentary shale formations. The diverse source-reservoir combinations and the development of faults make it difficult to find highly mobile and hydrocarbon-rich sweet spots. Therefore, the grading and evaluation of shale oil-bearing capacity and shale oil mobility has become a major focus.

[0003] Currently, existing technologies propose the "free hydrocarbon difference method" to evaluate the oil-bearing potential of shale and mudstone. This method calculates the initial hydrocarbon generation of each hydrocarbon generation and expulsion unit, then subtracts the existing hydrocarbon content of the corresponding unit to obtain the free hydrocarbon difference for each unit. The oil-bearing potential of the shale is then evaluated based on this free hydrocarbon difference. However, this method has two problems: 1) The free hydrocarbon difference method is only suitable for qualitative evaluation of shale oil-bearing potential and cannot provide quantitative evaluation; 2) This method does not consider the loss of light hydrocarbons.

[0004] Existing technologies also propose methods for calculating the amount of micro-migrating hydrocarbons. If the amount of micro-migrating hydrocarbons is greater than zero, it indicates micro-external migration of hydrocarbons; if the amount of micro-migrating hydrocarbons is less than zero, it indicates micro-internal migration of hydrocarbons. This method is used to evaluate micro-migration phenomena. However, this method has not been used to evaluate the oil content and mobility of shale, which leads to biases in the identification of sweet spots in shale oil.

[0005] Existing technologies suggest that high oil saturation may correspond to high shale oil content, considering an oil saturation of 100 mg / g TOC as the movable threshold for shale oil. Shale formations with a saturation above this threshold have industrial production capacity, while those below this value are difficult for shale oil to flow effectively. However, this approach has two problems: 1) Shale with low total organic carbon (TOC) and free hydrocarbon content can still have high oil saturation, potentially leading to errors in sweet spot identification; 2) During core sampling in shale oil exploration wells, the obtained shale cores experience significant light hydrocarbon loss, causing deviations in oil saturation values. Based on this, methods have been developed that incorporate the absolute values ​​of free hydrocarbon and TOC content, thus avoiding misjudgments where both free hydrocarbon and TOC values ​​are very low, but the oil saturation may still exceed 100 mg / g TOC. However, this method does not consider the influence of micro-migration.

[0006] In summary, existing technologies have three main problems: 1) Most evaluations of oil content are qualitative comparisons, with relatively few quantitative evaluations; 2) All methods for obtaining shale oil content through laboratory analysis inevitably suffer from severe light hydrocarbon loss during sample preservation and preparation; 3) Shale can serve as both a source rock and a reservoir, but previous methods have neglected the influence of micro-migration effects on shale oil content and shale oil mobility, leading to errors in the sweet spot of the evaluation. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0057] Figure 1 A schematic diagram illustrating a scenario for the micro-transport-based shale oil-bearing and shale oil mobility classification and evaluation method provided in this application embodiment, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a receiving device 101, a processor 102, and a display device 103.

[0058] It is understood that the structures illustrated in the embodiments of this application do not constitute a specific limitation on the method for grading and evaluating the oil-bearing capacity and mobility of shale based on micro-transportation. In other feasible embodiments of this application, the above architecture may include more or fewer components than illustrated, or combine some components, or split some components, or arrange different components, which can be determined according to the actual application scenario and is not limited here. Figure 1 The components shown can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both.

[0059] In the specific implementation process, the receiving device 101 can be an input / output interface or a communication interface, used to receive the total organic carbon content, highest pyrolysis peak temperature, pyrolysis soluble hydrocarbon content, pyrolysis hydrocarbon content and vitrinite reflectance of shale oil in any region sent by the data acquisition equipment.

[0060] The processor 102 can perform a series of processing on the total organic carbon content, the highest pyrolysis peak temperature, the amount of pyrolysis soluble hydrocarbons, the amount of pyrolysis hydrocarbons, and the vitrinite reflectance to obtain the critical values ​​of shale oil saturation, the critical values ​​of micro-transported hydrocarbons, and the highest and lowest critical values ​​of shale retained hydrocarbons, thereby identifying the sweet spot of shale oil.

[0061] Display device 103 can be used to display the sweet spot of shale oil.

[0062] It should be understood that the aforementioned processor can be implemented by reading instructions from memory and executing those instructions, or it can be implemented through chip circuitry.

[0063] As exploration of continental shale oil deepens, the mismatch between shale oil production and resource potential remains a pressing issue. Continental basins primarily develop matrix-type, interbedded, and mixed-sedimentary shale. The diverse source-reservoir combinations and the development of faults make it difficult to find highly mobile and hydrocarbon-rich sweet spots. Therefore, the evaluation of shale oil-bearing capacity and shale oil mobility has received significant attention. Existing technologies suffer from three main problems: 1) Most oil-bearing assessments are qualitative comparisons, with relatively few quantitative evaluations; 2) All methods for determining shale oil-bearing capacity through laboratory analysis inevitably suffer from severe light hydrocarbon loss during sample preservation and preparation; 3) Shale can serve as both a source rock and a reservoir, but previous methods neglected the impact of micro-migration effects on shale oil-bearing capacity and shale oil mobility, leading to errors in the evaluation of sweet spots.

[0064] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application proposes the following technical concept: Obtaining the amount of shale-retained hydrocarbons, representing the oil-bearing nature of shale, taking into account the loss of light hydrocarbons; and obtaining the amount of pyrolytic soluble hydrocarbons by correcting for the amount of shale-retained hydrocarbons. Simultaneously, obtaining the shale oil saturation, representing the mobility of shale oil. Furthermore, considering the influence of micro-migration effects on the oil-bearing and mobility of shale oil, the amount of micro-migrated hydrocarbons is obtained. Based on the highest and lowest critical values ​​of shale-retained hydrocarbons, the critical value of shale oil saturation, and the critical value of micro-migrated hydrocarbons, the distribution of high-oil-bearing and highly mobile sweet spots in shale formations can be quantitatively identified, reducing the error in identifying sweet spot segments.

[0065] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating the micro-transport-based shale oil-bearing and shale oil mobility classification and evaluation method provided in this application embodiment is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0067] S201: Receive data from the data acquisition equipment, including the total organic carbon content, highest pyrolysis peak temperature, pyrolysis soluble hydrocarbon content, pyrolysis hydrocarbon content, and vitrinite reflectance of shale in any region.

[0068] Shale oil refers to petroleum resources contained in shale formations, which are mainly composed of shale.

[0069] In this embodiment, the data acquisition equipment obtains the total organic carbon content, the highest pyrolysis peak temperature, the amount of pyrolysis soluble hydrocarbons, the amount of pyrolysis hydrocarbons, and the vitrinite reflectance through total organic carbon, pyrolysis, vitrinite reflectance experiments and oilfield field data.

[0070] Optionally, total organic carbon content is used to evaluate the organic matter abundance of shale oil, while the highest pyrolysis peak temperature and vitrinite reflectance characterize the degree of thermal evolution of the shale. For example, mudstone and shale cores were selected, and total organic carbon and pyrolysis analysis were performed to obtain the total organic carbon content, pyrolytic soluble hydrocarbon content, pyrolytic hydrocarbon content, and highest pyrolysis peak temperature of the mudstone and shale cores. A total of 5722 geochemical data points and 270 mudstone and shale core samples were obtained, and these data were statistically analyzed.

[0071] S202: Correct the amount of pyrolysis soluble hydrocarbons to obtain the amount of hydrocarbons retained in shale; the amount of hydrocarbons retained in shale reflects the oil content of shale.

[0072] All methods for determining the oil content of shale through laboratory analysis inevitably suffer from severe light hydrocarbon loss during sample preservation and preparation. Therefore, when quantitatively evaluating the oil content of shale, it is necessary to correct for the amount of pyrolysis soluble hydrocarbons.

[0073] Optionally, the total amount of pyrolysis hydrocarbons and shale-retained hydrocarbons, i.e., oil production potential, is used to evaluate the organic matter abundance of shale oil.

[0074] In this embodiment, the amount of pyrolytic soluble hydrocarbons represents oil content; however, light hydrocarbons are lost when the core sample is extracted from the ground. Therefore, recovery is necessary through a hydrocarbon generation thermal simulation experiment. Hydrocarbon products at equal temperatures can be collected through a hydrocarbon generation thermal simulation experiment, and the gaseous hydrocarbons (C1-5), light liquid hydrocarbons (C6-14), and heavy hydrocarbons (C14+) in the gas chromatogram can be quantitatively calculated.

[0075] Specifically, the formula for correcting the amount of pyrolysis-soluble hydrocarbons to obtain the amount of hydrocarbons retained in shale is:

[0076] S 1c =S1×(1+K) 1h )

[0077]

[0078] In the formula, S 1c S1 represents the amount of hydrocarbons retained in shale, and K represents the amount of pyrolysis-soluble hydrocarbons. 1h C represents the coefficient of restitution. 1-14 C represents the content of gaseous hydrocarbons and light liquid hydrocarbons in a gas chromatogram. 14+This indicates the content of heavy hydrocarbons in the gas chromatogram.

[0079] S203: Calculate the shale oil saturation based on the total organic carbon content and the amount of hydrocarbons retained in the shale; whereby the shale oil saturation reflects the mobility of shale oil.

[0080] In this embodiment, shale oil saturation represents mobility.

[0081] Specifically, the formula for calculating the oil saturation of shale based on the total organic carbon content and the amount of hydrocarbons retained in the shale is as follows:

[0082]

[0083] In the formula, OSI represents the oil saturation of shale, and S 1C This indicates the amount of hydrocarbons retained in shale, while TOC represents the total organic carbon content.

[0084] S204: Calculate the amount of micro-transported hydrocarbons based on the total organic carbon content, the amount of pyrolysis hydrocarbons, and the highest pyrolysis peak temperature.

[0085] Specifically, step S204 includes S2041 to S2044:

[0086] S2041: Calculate the current hydrogen index of the core based on the total organic carbon content and the amount of pyrolysis hydrocarbons.

[0087] Specifically, the formula for calculating the current hydrogen index of the core is:

[0088]

[0089] In the formula, HI represents the current hydrogen index, S2 represents the amount of pyrolytic hydrocarbons, and TOC represents the total organic carbon content.

[0090] S2042: Establish an evolution model of the current hydrogen index of different types of kerogen with the highest pyrolysis peak temperature, and determine the hydrocarbon conversion rate corresponding to different highest pyrolysis peak temperatures based on the evolution model.

[0091] Specifically, based on the current hydrogen index and the highest pyrolysis peak temperature of the core, a scatter plot of the current hydrogen index versus the highest pyrolysis peak temperature was plotted. Since there are differences in the organic matter types of shale, the organic matter types of shale were classified using the scatter plot of the current hydrogen index versus the highest pyrolysis peak temperature. Then, based on the data-driven model of kerogen hydrocarbon generation kinetics, numerical simulation software was used to establish an evolution model of the current hydrogen index of different types of kerogen with the highest pyrolysis peak temperature.

[0092] In this embodiment, the different types of kerogen include: Type I kerogen, Type II1 kerogen, Type II2 kerogen, and Type III kerogen.

[0093] Specifically, under the evolution model of the current hydrogen index of different types of kerogen with the highest pyrolysis peak temperature, the hydrocarbon conversion rates corresponding to different highest pyrolysis peak temperatures are:

[0094]

[0095] Where TR represents the hydrocarbon conversion rate, T max The highest pyrolysis peak temperature is represented. Formula 1 represents the hydrocarbon conversion rate corresponding to different highest pyrolysis peak temperatures of type I kerogen; Formula 2 represents the hydrocarbon conversion rate corresponding to different highest pyrolysis peak temperatures of type I1 kerogen; Formula 3 represents the hydrocarbon conversion rate corresponding to different highest pyrolysis peak temperatures of type II2 kerogen; and Formula 4 represents the hydrocarbon conversion rate corresponding to different highest pyrolysis peak temperatures of type III kerogen.

[0096] S2043: Obtain the original hydrogen index based on the highest pyrolysis peak temperature and hydrocarbon conversion rate.

[0097] In this embodiment, the original hydrogen index under different types of kerogen is:

[0098]

[0099] Among them, HI O T represents the original hydrogen index. max This indicates the highest pyrolysis peak temperature. Formula 5 is the original hydrogen index for type I kerogen; Formula 6 is the original hydrogen index for type I1 kerogen; Formula 7 is the original hydrogen index for type II2 kerogen; and Formula 8 is the original hydrogen index for type III kerogen.

[0100] S2044: The difference between the original hydrogen index and the current hydrogen index is determined as the amount of hydrocarbons transported.

[0101] Specifically, the formula for the amount of hydrocarbon transported in micro-transports is:

[0102] ΔQ=HI O -HI

[0103] In the formula, ΔQ represents the amount of hydrocarbon transported, HIo represents the original hydrogen index, and HI represents the current hydrogen index.

[0104] In this embodiment, the difference between the original hydrogen index and the current hydrogen index can be used to determine whether the shale is a receiving hydrocarbon unit (i.e., the amount of micro-transported hydrocarbons is less than 0) or a discharging hydrocarbon unit (i.e., the amount of micro-transported hydrocarbons is greater than 0).

[0105] S205: Calculate the hydrocarbon generation potential index based on the total organic carbon content, pyrolysis soluble hydrocarbon content, and pyrolysis hydrocarbon content.

[0106] Specifically, the hydrocarbon generation potential index is calculated based on the total organic carbon content, the amount of pyrolytic soluble hydrocarbons, and the amount of pyrolytic hydrocarbons. The formula is as follows:

[0107]

[0108] In the formula, T represents the hydrocarbon generation potential index, S1 represents the amount of pyrolytic soluble hydrocarbons, S2 represents the amount of pyrolytic hydrocarbons, and TOC represents the total organic carbon content.

[0109] S206: Determine the critical value of shale oil saturation based on vitrinite reflectance, hydrocarbon generation potential index, and shale oil saturation.

[0110] Optionally, since the critical values ​​for shale oil mobility vary in different regions, it is necessary to re-evaluate the critical values ​​for shale oil saturation in different regions.

[0111] Specifically, step S206 will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

[0112] S207: Determine the critical value of micro-transported hydrocarbons based on micro-transported hydrocarbons, shale oil saturation, and the critical value of shale oil saturation.

[0113] Specifically, step S207 will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

[0114] S208: Determine the highest and lowest critical values ​​for shale hydrocarbon retention based on the total organic carbon content and the amount of hydrocarbons retained in shale.

[0115] Specifically, step S208 will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

[0116] S209: Identify the sweet spot of shale oil based on the critical values ​​of shale oil saturation, micro-transport hydrocarbon content, and the highest and lowest critical values ​​of shale retained hydrocarbon content.

[0117] For example, the critical value for shale oil saturation is 82 mg / g TOC, the critical value for micro-transported hydrocarbons is -120 mg / g TOC, and the highest and lowest critical values ​​for shale retained hydrocarbons are 11.2 mg / g and 1.8 mg / g, respectively. Table 1 shows the distribution of sweet spots. As shown in Table 1, shale with retained hydrocarbons ranging from 1.8 mg / g to 11.2 mg / g, shale oil saturation greater than the critical value of 82 mg / g TOC, and micro-transported hydrocarbons less than the critical value of -120 mg / g TOC are classified as sweet spots (level I). Shale with retained hydrocarbons ranging from 1.8 mg / g to 11.2 mg / g, shale oil saturation greater than the critical value of 82 mg / g TOC, and micro-transported hydrocarbons greater than the critical value of -120 mg / g TOC are classified as sweet spots (level II). Shale with retained hydrocarbons less than 1.8 mg / g is classified as a non-sweet spot.

[0120] Optionally, after identifying the sweet spot of shale oil, shale oil resources can be classified into micro-migration enriched resources, stagnant enriched resources, and ineffective resources based on the sweet spot of shale oil.

Figure 3 As shown, shale oil resources are divided into three regions according to the distribution level of the sweet spots. Regions corresponding to sweet spot level I are classified as micro-migration enriched resources, with high oil content and mobility of shale oil. Regions corresponding to sweet spot level II are classified as stagnant enriched resources, with low mobility of shale oil. Regions corresponding to non-sweet spots are classified as ineffective resources, with both low oil content and low mobility.

[0122] In this embodiment, the classification criteria take into account the sweet spot segment with low total organic carbon content but high shale residual hydrocarbon content and shale oil saturation.

[0123] In summary, by correcting for the amount of pyrolysis soluble hydrocarbons, the amount of hydrocarbons retained in shale is obtained. Based on the total organic carbon content and the amount of hydrocarbons retained in shale, the oil saturation of shale is calculated. Based on the total organic carbon content, the amount of pyrolysis hydrocarbons, and the highest pyrolysis peak temperature, the amount of micro-transported hydrocarbons is calculated. The amount of hydrocarbons retained in shale takes into account the loss of light hydrocarbons. The amount of hydrocarbons retained in shale reflects the oil content of shale, while the oil saturation of shale reflects the mobility of shale oil. The amount of micro-transported hydrocarbons can be used to determine whether hydrocarbons have undergone micro-transport. Based on the highest and lowest critical values ​​of the amount of hydrocarbons retained in shale, the critical value of the oil saturation of shale, and the critical value of the amount of micro-transported hydrocarbons, the distribution of high oil-bearing and mobile sweet spots in shale formations can be quantitatively identified, reducing the error in identifying sweet spot segments.

[0124] Optionally, the above-mentioned micro-migration-based shale oil-bearing and shale oil mobility classification evaluation method can be applied to the identification of sweet spot segments of shale oil in Basin A, Depression B. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the division of shale oil sweet spots in Basin A, Depression B, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, it is divided into 5 Level I dessert sections and 3 Level II dessert sections.

[0125] Specifically, the method of this application reduces costs compared to the method of using two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to quantitatively evaluate the oil content and mobility of shale oil. On the one hand, NMR technology is expensive and therefore only suitable for the analysis and testing of typical samples, easily missing the sweet spot of shale oil; on the other hand, NMR technology involves operations such as saturating the sample, centrifugation, drying, and displacement, which are cumbersome and not suitable for widespread application.

[0126] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment provides a detailed description of steps S206, S207, and S208, as detailed below:

[0127] S206: Determine the critical value of shale oil saturation based on vitrinite reflectance, hydrocarbon generation potential index, and shale oil saturation.

[0128] Specifically, step S206 includes S2061 to S2063:

[0129] S2061: Draw a cross-plot of vitrinite reflectance and hydrocarbon generation potential index based on vitrinite reflectance and hydrocarbon generation potential index.

[0130] Figure 5 The cross-plots of vitrinite reflectance-hydrogenation potential index and vitrinite reflectance-shale oil saturation provided for embodiments of this application. Figure 5 The left side of the graph is a cross-plot of vitrinite reflectance and hydrocarbon generation potential index, with the horizontal axis representing the hydrocarbon generation potential index and the vertical axis representing vitrinite reflectance.

[0131] S2062: Draw a cross-sectional diagram of vitrinite reflectance and shale oil saturation based on vitrinite reflectance and shale oil saturation.

[0132] Figure 5 The right-hand plot is a cross-plot of vitrinite reflectance and shale oil saturation, with the horizontal axis representing shale oil saturation and the vertical axis representing vitrinite reflectance.

[0133] S2063: Determine the critical value of shale oil saturation based on the cross-plot of vitrinite reflectance-hydrogenation potential index and the cross-plot of vitrinite reflectance-shale oil saturation.

[0134] Specifically, in the vitrinite reflectance-hydrogenation potential index cross-plot, the inflection point of the hydrocarbon generation potential index is obtained, and the vitrinite reflectance value corresponding to the inflection point is obtained; in the vitrinite reflectance-shale oil saturation cross-plot, the shale oil saturation value corresponding to the vitrinite reflectance value is determined as the critical value of shale oil saturation.

[0135] In this embodiment, the thermal maturity or burial depth at which hydrocarbons begin to migrate outward in a free state is defined as the hydrocarbon expulsion threshold, i.e., the inflection point of the hydrocarbon generation potential index. Figure 5 In the vitrinite reflectance-hydrogenation potential index cross-plot, point A is the inflection point of the hydrogenation potential index. Obtain the vitrinite reflectance value corresponding to point A. Figure 5 In the vitrinite reflectance-shale oil saturation cross-plot, the vitrinite reflectance value at point B is the same as the vitrinite reflectance value at point A. At this point, the shale oil saturation value at point B is 82 mg / g TOC, which means the critical value for shale oil saturation is 82 mg / g TOC.

[0136] S207: Determine the critical value of micro-transported hydrocarbons based on micro-transported hydrocarbons, shale oil saturation, and the critical value of shale oil saturation.

[0137] Specifically, step S207 includes S2071 to S2072:

[0138] S2071: Draw a cross-plot of micro-migrated hydrocarbons and shale oil saturation based on micro-migrated hydrocarbons and shale oil saturation.

[0139] Figure 6 This is a cross-plot of micro-transported hydrocarbons and shale oil saturation provided in an embodiment of this application. The horizontal axis represents micro-transported hydrocarbons, and the vertical axis represents shale oil saturation.

[0140] S2072: In the micro-transport hydrocarbon amount-shale oil saturation cross-plot, the value of micro-transport hydrocarbon amount corresponding to the critical value of shale oil saturation is determined as the critical value of micro-transport hydrocarbon amount.

[0141] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown in the cross diagram of micro-transported hydrocarbons and shale oil saturation, the intersection point of the critical value of shale oil saturation and the curve is C. The value of micro-transported hydrocarbons corresponding to point C is -120 mg / g TOC, that is, the critical value of micro-transported hydrocarbons is -120 mg / g TOC.

[0142] S208: Determine the highest and lowest critical values ​​for shale hydrocarbon retention based on the total organic carbon content and the amount of hydrocarbons retained in shale.

[0143] Specifically, step S208 includes S2081 to S2082:

[0144] S2081: Draw a cross-plot of total organic carbon content and shale retained hydrocarbons based on total organic carbon content and shale retained hydrocarbons.

[0145] Figure 7 The cross-plot of total organic carbon content and shale retained hydrocarbons provided in the application embodiment shows the total organic carbon content on the horizontal axis and the shale retained hydrocarbons on the vertical axis. The envelope line in the cross-plot is divided according to the amount of micro-transported hydrocarbons. The envelope line is a boundary curve drawn based on the positive or negative sign of micro-transported hydrocarbons in relation to the change in shale retained hydrocarbons with total organic carbon content when determining the critical value of shale oil content. Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the red data represents micro-transported hydrocarbons less than 0, mainly including shale with low total organic carbon content and high shale-retained hydrocarbon content.

[0146] S2082: Determine the highest and lowest critical values ​​for shale hydrocarbon retention based on the cross-sectional diagram of total organic carbon content and shale retained hydrocarbon content.

[0147] Specifically, in the cross-plot of total organic carbon content and shale retained hydrocarbons, the first inflection point is identified where the shale retained hydrocarbons change from a slow increase to a rapid increase as the total organic carbon content increases, and the value of the shale retained hydrocarbons corresponding to the first inflection point is determined as the minimum critical value; in the cross-plot of total organic carbon content and shale retained hydrocarbons, the second inflection point is identified where the shale retained hydrocarbons remain unchanged as the total organic carbon content increases, and the value of the shale retained hydrocarbons corresponding to the second inflection point is determined as the maximum critical value.

[0148] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, when the total organic carbon content is 1.2%, the increase in shale retained hydrocarbons changes from a slow increase to a rapid increase, at which point the retained hydrocarbon content is 1.8 mg / g, which is the minimum critical value of 1.8 mg / g. When the total organic carbon content is 4%, the increase in shale retained hydrocarbons remains unchanged, at which point the retained hydrocarbon content is 11.2 mg / g, which is the maximum critical value of 11.2 mg / g. At this point, the amount of oil generated is generally sufficient to meet the various residual needs of shale. When the abundance is higher, the oil content of shale reaches saturation, and excess oil is discharged. As the total organic carbon content further increases, the shale cannot accommodate more shale retained hydrocarbons and maintains a balance.

[0149] In summary, by drawing cross-plots of vitrinite reflectance-hydrogenation potential index, vitrinite reflectance-shale oil saturation, micro-migrated hydrocarbons-shale oil saturation, and micro-migrated hydrocarbons-shale oil saturation, cross-plots can graphically display multiple key data points, intuitively presenting their interrelationships. By observing the distribution patterns and trends of data points on the cross-plots, each critical value can be clearly determined, reducing the error in identifying sweet spots.
