Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0055] Step 1: Select multiple sampling points according to the requirements. At each sampling point, two core samples, A and B, are obtained by pressure-holding coring. Sample A is frozen and sealed, then pulverized and pyrolyzed to obtain the free oil content S1 by volume mass.

[0071] .

[0072] Specifically:

[0073] Step 1: Select multiple sampling points according to requirements. At each sampling point, two core samples, A and B, are obtained by pressure-holding coring. Sample A is frozen and sealed, then pulverized and pyrolyzed to obtain the free oil content S1 by volume mass. Sample B is frozen and sealed, then pulverized and pyrolyzed to obtain the gas content V by volume desorption gas test.

[0074] Pressure-maintaining coring technology is a method to obtain core samples that retain the integrity of reservoir fluids. Before the core is lowered into the well, it is filled with sealing fluid using appropriate tools. During the core drilling process, the core is continuously sealed, which can prevent the gas and light components in the crude oil from escaping due to the pressure and temperature drop when the core is brought to the surface from the bottom of the well.

[0075] The free oil content S1 was obtained by freezing and sealing followed by liquid nitrogen pulverization and pyrolysis: After obtaining the core sample by pressure-controlled core sampling, it was immediately sealed at ultra-low temperature and then sent to the corresponding warehouse for freezing and storage for a certain period of time; the core sample was cut and crushed into 200-mesh powder under liquid nitrogen purging, and the core powder sample was placed in a RockEval 6 pyrolysis instrument and kept at 300℃ for 3 minutes to obtain the free oil content S1.

[0076] The gas content V is obtained by cryogenically desorption-gas volume method after cryogenic sealing: another core sample obtained at a selected sampling point through pressure-controlled core sampling is also cryogenically sealed and then sent to the corresponding library for cryogenic storage for a certain period of time; the core sample is cut under continuous liquid nitrogen purging, and the desorption gas detection parameters and corresponding time points are measured and recorded using a desorption device at a set desorption temperature to obtain a desorption time-desorption gas volume data table, from which the desorption gas content can be calculated. The desorbed core sample is then broken up and desorbed again to obtain residual gas test records, from which the precipitated gas content and lost gas content can be calculated. The sum of the three is the gas content V.

[0077] Step Two: Select multiple sampling points according to requirements. At each sampling point, obtain a total of twelve core samples through conventional core sampling. Two of these samples are cryopreserved, flushed, and crushed before undergoing pyrolysis experiments and desorption gas tests to determine the residual oil content (S1) after drilling. * pyrolysis hydrocarbon content S2 and residual gas content V after drilling * Another sample was pulverized at room temperature and then subjected to multi-temperature pyrolysis to obtain the heavy hydrocarbon content S. 2-1 and kerogen content S 2-2 ;

[0078] Free hydrocarbon content S1 *The free oil content S2 was obtained by cryogenic sealing followed by liquid nitrogen pulverization and pyrolysis: After obtaining core samples through conventional core sampling, they were immediately cryogenically sealed and then sent to the appropriate storage facility for cryogenic preservation for a certain period of time; under liquid nitrogen purging, the core samples were cut, crushed into 200-mesh powder samples in a sealed environment, and the core powder samples were placed in a RockEval 6 pyrolysis apparatus and kept at 300℃ for 3 minutes to obtain the free oil content S1. * Then, the temperature is increased to 600°C at a rate of 25°C per minute to obtain the pyrolytic hydrocarbon content S2.

[0079] Residual gas content V during drilling * Gas content (V) is obtained through cryogenic desorption / gas volume analysis after cryopreservation. A core sample obtained from a selected sampling point using conventional core sampling is cryopreserved and then stored in a cryopreservation facility for a certain period. The core sample is then sectioned under continuous liquid nitrogen priming. Desorption parameters and corresponding time points are measured and recorded using a desorption device at a set desorption temperature to obtain a desorption time-desorption gas volume data table, from which the desorption gas content can be calculated. The desorbed core sample is then fragmented and desorbed again to obtain residual gas test records, allowing for the calculation of the released gas content and lost gas content. The sum of these three values ​​is the gas content (V). * .

[0080] Heavy hydrocarbon content S 2-1 and kerogen content S 2-2 The following results were obtained through multi-stage pyrolysis experiments: A core sample obtained from a selected sampling point using conventional core sampling was crushed at room temperature. The core powder sample was then placed in a RockEval 6 pyrolysis apparatus. After holding at 200℃ for 1 minute to obtain light oil content, the temperature was increased to 350℃ at a rate of 25℃ per minute and held for 1 minute to obtain light-medium oil. The temperature was then further increased at the same rate to 450℃ and held for 1 minute to obtain heavy hydrocarbon content (S). 2-1 Finally, the temperature was raised to 600℃ again at the same rate to obtain the kerogen content S. 2-2 .like Figure 2 The figure shows the free oil content S1 obtained from pressure-holding coring and the residual free oil S1 after drilling lift obtained from conventional coring. * contrast.

[0081] Step 3: After the remaining nine samples from the conventional core sampling were placed for 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, 48 ​​hours, 96 hours, 192 hours, and 360 hours respectively, pyrolysis experiments were conducted to obtain residual free oil S1. (1) S1 (2) S1 (4) ...S1 (360) Right now .

[0082] The placement time and the number of core samples can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0083] Residual free oil S1 (1) S1 (2) S1 (4) ...S1 (360) The remaining eight core samples, obtained through conventional core sampling at selected sampling points, were ground at room temperature for 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, 48 ​​hours, 96 hours, 192 hours, and 360 hours, respectively. The core powder samples were then placed in a RockEval 6 pyrolysis apparatus and kept at 300℃ for 3 minutes to obtain the residual free oil content S1. (1) S1 (2) S1 (4) ...S1 (360) Right now .like Figure 3 The figure shows the residual free oil containing S1 after being left for different periods of time. (x) Relationships that change over time.

[0084] Step 4: Compare the free oil content S1 and the residual oil content S1 obtained in Steps 1 and 2 respectively. * And gas content V and residual gas content V after drilling * Calculate the free oil extraction loss coefficient. and the gas loss coefficient .

[0085] Step 5: Compare the residual oil content S1 obtained in Steps 2 and 3 respectively. * The residual free oil content S1 after different storage times (x) The light hydrocarbon loss coefficient after placement at different time periods was calculated.

[0086] Step 6: The heavy hydrocarbon content S obtained in Step 2 2-1 and kerogen content S 2-2 The heavy hydrocarbon correction factor was calculated. .like Figure 4 As shown, the heavy hydrocarbon content S 2-1 and kerogen content S 2-2 A schematic diagram showing the proportion of S2 in the pyrolysis hydrocarbon content.

[0087] Step 7: Obtain various coefficients and data through the above steps: Obtaining oil and gas content under in-situ formation conditions for shale oil Y .

[0088] The method of this invention includes seven steps: the first step is to conduct on-site pyrolysis experiments and desorption gas tests on pressure-holding coring samples to obtain the free oil content S1 and gas content V; the second step is to conduct on-site pyrolysis experiments, multi-temperature-level pyrolysis, and desorption gas tests on conventional coring samples to obtain the residual free oil content S1 after drilling. * , content of pyrolytic hydrocarbons S 2、 Heavy hydrocarbon content S 2-1 Kerogen content S 2-2 and residual gas content V * The third step involves conducting pyrolysis experiments on conventionally cored samples after different storage times to obtain the residual free oil content S1. (x) The fourth step is to calculate the free oil extraction loss coefficient. and the gas loss coefficient Step 5: Calculate the light hydrocarbon loss coefficient after placement. Step 6: Based on the obtained heavy hydrocarbon content S 2-1 and the content of hydrocarbons in kerogen pyrolysis S 2-2 The heavy hydrocarbon correction factor Kweight is calculated; the in-situ oil and gas content Y is obtained in the seventh step.

[0089] This invention quantifies hydrocarbon loss during the experiment by conducting on-site cryogenic pyrolysis and desorption gas tests on pressure-controlled coring and conventional coring samples, respectively calculating the free oil extraction loss coefficient and the desorption gas loss coefficient. Furthermore, it corrects hydrocarbon loss by combining the light hydrocarbon loss coefficient and heavy hydrocarbon correction coefficient obtained after different storage times, and finally restores the oil and gas content under the original formation conditions.

[0090] This invention recovers the in-situ oil and gas content separately, taking into account the differences in hydrocarbon loss due to different experimental steps and methods. It avoids the errors caused by using a single fixed coefficient in traditional methods, and comprehensively considers the impact of experimental steps, methods, and time on hydrocarbon loss. This significantly improves the accuracy of in-situ oil and gas content evaluation, compensates for the errors caused by hydrocarbon loss in existing technologies, and avoids the errors caused by using a single fixed coefficient. At the same time, it solves the problem of inaccurate in-situ oil and gas content evaluation for shale oil, providing a scientific basis for the exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas resources. It helps to optimize resource assessment and development plans, and has broad application prospects in unconventional oil and gas fields such as shale oil and tight oil, providing important technical support for the energy industry.

[0091] This invention, through innovative experimental design and data processing methods, significantly improves the accuracy of recovering in-situ oil and gas content underground, providing a scientific basis for the exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas resources, and has important theoretical value and practical application significance.
