Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of shale gas exploration and development technology, specifically relating to a method for determining the organic porosity of shale gas sweet spots and a method for determining gold targets in shale gas sweet spots. Background Technology
[0002] Shale oil and gas, rich in resources, has gradually become a key focus of oil and gas exploration and development. Honeycomb-like nanopores, serving as the main reservoir space and important seepage channels for shale oil and gas, have attracted global attention from the oil and gas industry. The combined use of techniques such as argon ion polishing, MAPS, and FIB to characterize the occurrence state of organic pores, such as morphology, size, and connectivity, has driven large-scale exploration and development of shale oil and gas; however, our understanding of the genesis of organic pores remains lacking.
[0003] Thermal simulation experiments on immature or low-maturity shale with organic matter suggest that organic pores develop within residual kerogen. This understanding assumes that the shale is already dense and non-porous when or before the conversion of sedimentary organic matter into kerogen, and that all hydrocarbons formed from the thermal degradation of kerogen are expelled from the shale. However, this viewpoint has several shortcomings: ① For marine black shale, sedimentary organic matter mainly consists of organic matter formed after the death of microorganisms. During the thermal evolution of kerogen into pre-oil bitumen, the kerogen is completely converted and disappears, thus there is no residual kerogen or honeycomb-like nanopores within it; ② During the thermal evolution of sedimentary organic matter into pre-oil bitumen and petroleum, the shale may still have residual primary pores. These pre-oil bitumen and petroleum fill these residual primary pores. Therefore, the conclusion that the shale is already dense and non-porous when or before the conversion of sedimentary organic matter into kerogen is a biased and incomplete view, not consistent with actual geological conditions.
[0004] Petroleum thermal simulation experiments using the "bubble-to-porosity" model revealed that during the thermal evolution of petroleum into pitch and natural gas, liquid petroleum gradually transforms into solid pitch. A portion of the generated natural gas is trapped within the pitch, forming "bubble pores," indicating the development of honeycomb-like pores in pitched petroleum. However, petrological evidence suggests a lack of porosity in pitched petroleum. Therefore, the "bubble-to-porosity" experiment is not the cause of porosity in pitched petroleum within shale. In other words, the organic pore formation attributed to the petroleum "bubble-to-porosity" thermal simulation results does not conform to petrological evidence, and the development of porosity in pitched petroleum is a partial and incomplete generalization.
[0005] Some researchers have combined argon ion polishing and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy to classify shale reservoir porosity, suggesting that organic pores develop within residual kerogen. This understanding assumes that the shale is already dense and non-porous when or before the conversion of sedimentary organic matter into kerogen, and that all hydrocarbons formed from the thermal degradation of kerogen are expelled. Therefore, according to the law of conservation of mass, honeycomb-like nanopores should develop within the residual kerogen. However, this viewpoint has several shortcomings: ① For marine black shale, sedimentary organic matter mainly consists of organic matter formed after the death of microorganisms. During the thermal evolution of kerogen into pre-oil bitumen, the kerogen is completely converted and disappears, thus there is no residual kerogen or honeycomb-like nanopores within it; ② During the thermal evolution of sedimentary organic matter into pre-oil bitumen and petroleum, the shale may still have residual primary pores. These pre-oil bitumen and petroleum fill these residual primary pores. Therefore, the assumption that the shale is already dense and non-porous before or after the conversion of sedimentary organic matter into kerogen is a biased and incomplete view, not consistent with actual geological conditions.
[0006] Researchers using simultaneous scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) to observe shale reservoirs have found that asphalt-bituminized petroleum exhibits honeycomb-like pores, while asphalt-bituminized organic matter lacks porosity. However, the apparent lack of porosity in asphalt-bituminized organic matter is due to the low resolution of this experiment, which is insufficient to distinguish the honeycomb-like mesopores, leading to the misconception that asphalt-bituminized organic matter lacks porosity. Therefore, this viewpoint is characterized by its biased interpretation, incomplete understanding, and even misleading nature.
[0007] Some researchers, constrained by a conceptual model of shale diagenesis sequence, have divided organic matter into in-situ organic matter and migrated organic matter, finding that organic pores are developed in migrated organic matter, while in-situ organic matter lacks porosity. This misconception stems primarily from the fact that the conceptual model of shale diagenesis sequence does not reflect actual geological conditions: in this model, minerals such as secondary quartz overgrowth, calcite, and dolomite act as cementing agents. These cements form after the sedimentary organic matter settles to the seabed and forms part of the sediment, but before the formation of migrated organic matter (pre-oil bitumen or petroleum). Therefore, organic matter in contact with these cements is considered migrated organic matter, while organic matter in contact with other minerals (mainly clay minerals) is considered in-situ organic matter. However, in reality, the formation time of secondary quartz overgrowth, calcite, and dolomite coincides with the formation time of sedimentary organic matter. This means that in-situ organic matter is in direct contact with these cements, and migrated organic matter may also be in direct contact with these minerals. Therefore, this viewpoint has the characteristics of generalizing from a single point, making sweeping generalizations based on limited information, and even confusing the public.
[0008] A review of previous research reveals that all studies on the genesis of organic pores in shale have focused on specific points in the spectrum, with no research conducted from the perspective of sweet spots in shale. This implies an assumption that the genesis of organic pores in sweet spots is the same, which is the fundamental reason for the ambiguity in the genesis of organic pores.
[0009] In summary, further research is needed on the distribution patterns of organic pores in shale gas sweet spots in order to facilitate the precise evaluation of shale gas sweet spots and achieve the economic goals of cost reduction and efficiency improvement in shale gas exploration and development. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Obtain rock samples from the sweet spot segment of the target shale gas;
[0014] Determine the type of organic matter in the target shale gas sweet spot rock sample:
[0015] Based on the organic matter type of rock samples from sweet spots of shale gas, the thermal evolution process of organic matter was determined, thereby determining the origin of organic pores developed in the organic matter.
[0016] According to a specific embodiment of the first aspect, preferably, the organic matter type includes macroporous organic clay particle complexes filling primary pores, macro-mesoporous organic clay particle complexes filling primary pores, mesoporous organic clay particle complexes filling primary pores, macroporous pure organic matter filling primary pores, macroporous pure organic matter filling secondary pores, macro-mesoporous pure organic matter filling primary pores, macro-mesoporous pure organic matter filling secondary pores, mesoporous pure organic matter filling primary pores, mesoporous pure organic matter filling secondary pores, non-porous pure organic matter filling primary pores, non-porous pure organic matter filling secondary pores, and non-porous pure organic matter filling cracks.

[0020] The organic pores developed in organic matter are formed as follows: during the process of oil-water clay filling the primary pores evolving into macroporous pyroasphalt clay-particle complexes filling the primary pores, water droplets vaporize into water vapor to form macropores, and the water vapor exists in the macropores in a free state.
[0021] According to a specific implementation of the first aspect, preferably, the thermal evolution process of organic matter is determined based on the type of organic matter in the rock sample of the sweet spot of shale gas, thereby determining the origin of the organic pores developed in the organic matter, including:

[0024] The formation of organic pores in organic matter is due to the following: During the evolution of the pre-water droplet-encapsulated asphalt-petroleum clay-particle complex filling the primary pores into a pre-water droplet-encapsulated solid asphalt-petroleum clay-particle complex filling the primary pores, the expansion of generated petroleum leads to the formation of organic pores in the solid asphalt, which is one of the main reservoir spaces for shale oil; During the evolution of the pre-water droplet-encapsulated solid asphalt-petroleum clay-particle complex filling the primary pores into a macro-mesoporous pyro-asphalt-petroleum clay-particle complex filling the primary pores, the solid asphalt undergoes thermal degradation to generate natural gas and is converted into pyro-asphalt. The expansion of generated natural gas leads to the formation of mesopores in the pyro-asphalt. Natural gas exists in both adsorbed and free states in the mesopores, while water droplets vaporize into water vapor to form macropores. Water vapor exists in the macropores in a free state.

[0028] The formation of organic pores in organic matter is due to the following: During the evolution of the pre-oil bitumen clay particle complex that fills the primary pores into the solid bitumen petroleum clay particle complex that fills the primary pores, the expansion of generated petroleum leads to the formation of organic pores in the solid bitumen, which is one of the main reservoir spaces for shale oil; During the evolution of the solid bitumen petroleum clay particle complex that fills the primary pores into the mesoporous pyroasphalt clay particle complex that fills the primary pores, the thermal degradation of solid bitumen generates natural gas and is converted into pyroasphalt. The expansion of generated natural gas leads to the formation of mesopores in the pyroasphalt, and natural gas exists in both adsorbed and free states in the mesopores.

[0038] When the organic matter type is macroporous-mesoporous pure organic matter filling the primary pores:
[0039] The thermal evolution process of organic matter is as follows: pre-asphalt filled with water droplets and filled with primary pores evolves into solid asphalt petroleum filled with water droplets and filled with primary pores, and then evolves into macroporous-mesoporous coke asphalt filled with primary pores.
[0040] The formation of organic pores in organic matter is due to the following: During the evolution of asphalt into solid asphalt oil that fills the primary pores and encapsulates water droplets, the expansion of the generated petroleum leads to the formation of organic pores in the solid asphalt, which is one of the main storage spaces for shale oil.

[0102] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0103] MAPS stands for Modular Automated Processing System. MAPS technology divides the argon-polished surface of a sample into a series of regular grids, scans and images each grid, and stitches together the images of all grids to obtain a two-dimensional large field-of-view scan image data volume, which is the MAPS data volume.
[0104] The "phase surface method" is used to calculate the porosity of mesoporous organic pores: The "phase surface method" estimates the porosity of mesoporous organic pores in each grid rock image in a 4nm MAPS data volume. The porosity of mesoporous organic pores in different grid rock images is added together to obtain the sum of the porosity of mesoporous organic pores in all grids. The percentage of the sum of porosity of this porosity to the total grid area is the porosity of mesoporous organic pores in the rock sample.
[0105] The products of thermal evolution of deposited organic matter are, in order: deposited organic matter → kerogen → pre-oil bitumen → solid bitumen and petroleum → coking bitumen and natural gas.
[0106] In-situ organic matter: settled organic clay particle complex, kerogen clay particle complex, pre-oil bitumen clay particle complex, solid bitumen petroleum clay particle complex, and coke bitumen clay particle complex.
[0107] Migrating organic matter: Organic matter that migrates from sedimentary organic clay complexes or kerogen clay complexes, such as pre-oil bitumen, solid bitumen, petroleum, coking asphalt solid bitumen petroleum, and coking asphalt petroleum.
[0108] Mesopores refer to pores with a diameter of 4-50 nm.
[0109] Macropores refer to pores with a diameter greater than 50 nm.
[0110] Organic pores refer to the pores that develop in organic matter or organic clay particle complexes.
[0111] The inventors of this invention conducted research on organic matter types in shale gas sweet spots, clarifying the thermal evolution process of organic matter types, identifying the genesis and gas-bearing properties of macropores and mesopores, and using the "phase surface method" to statistically analyze the porosity of mesopores in shale gas sweet spots. This method identifies prime targets within shale gas sweet spots, pioneering a new approach to determining the genesis of organic matter and identifying prime targets within these sweet spots by dividing them into smaller layers. This extends previous research on the genesis of organic pores from a "point" perspective to a "line" and "surface" perspective, reducing the ambiguity of organic pore formation and thus guiding the efficient exploration and development of shale gas. Furthermore, based on the inventors' research findings, this invention provides a method for determining the genesis of organic pores in shale gas sweet spots and a method for identifying prime targets within these sweet spots, providing crucial information for selecting targets in shale gas horizontal wells and guiding the efficient exploration and development of shale gas.
