[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of geological engineering and oil and gas exploration, and particularly relates to a method for evaluating the natural seepage capacity of carbonate-rich shale reservoirs. Background Art
[0002] The natural seepage capacity of shale reservoirs is of great significance for evaluating the mobility of shale oil. At the same time, the natural seepage capacity of shale reservoirs determines the economic development time of shale oil and gas wells, and is of great significance for calculating the economically recoverable resource volume of shale oil.
[0003] Currently, the relevant research on shale seepage capacity mainly includes two types of technologies: (1) directly testing the shale permeability through experiments and (2) indirectly calculating the shale seepage capacity. "A High Temperature and High Pressure Permeability Testing Device" (Patent Application No. 201610898376.8) proposes a method that uses increased confining pressure and temperature control to achieve a high-pressure environment. After adding high-pressure fluid to the core using a liquid booster pump, the permeation flow rate is calculated by measuring the mass of the liquid seeping out of the core using a precision balance. "Device and Method for Stress-Seepage-Temperature Coupling and Displacement Test of Gas-Bearing Shale" (Patent Application No. 201310172572.3) proposes an experimental method that includes operation steps such as fixing the specimen, applying confining pressure, applying axial pressure, heating, evacuating, applying upstream liquid pressure, applying upstream gas pressure, injecting multiphase mixed fluid, pre-adsorption saturation of the specimen, and fluid collection to achieve stress-seepage-temperature coupling and displacement test.

[0005] Currently, the instruments and methods for studying the seepage capacity of shale reservoirs mainly have the following problems: (1) Epigenetic fractures interfere with the analysis of the natural permeability of shale. Shale is very likely to generate new fractures during the process of being taken from underground to the ground and sample processing. Shale can be divided into various types according to the mineral content characteristics, such as clay rock facies, felsic rock facies, carbonate rock facies, and mixed rock facies. The skeleton structures of different types of shale are different, and the development abilities of epigenetic fractures are significantly different. However, all existing research methods and testing techniques cannot correct the shale permeability according to the shale type. (2) Shale is extremely dense, and the permeability is extremely low under formation conditions. When some shale is pressurized to the formation pressure, the core will rupture, resulting in data invalidation. However, there is currently no technical method to judge the validity of the data.

[0018] where K n is the permeability measured at the nth pressure point (×10 -3 μm -2 ), K n-1 is the permeability measured at the (n - 1)th point (×10 -3 μm -2 ), and Δ is the permeability change rate between the nth and (n - 1)th points.
[0019] Furthermore, the stress sensitivity coefficient S S is expressed by the following formula:
[0020]
[0021] where P n , P0 are the effective stresses (MPa) corresponding to the nth pressure point and the initial pressure point respectively, K n and K0 are the permeabilities (×10 -3 μm -2 ) corresponding to the nth pressure point and the initial pressure point respectively, and S S is the stress sensitivity coefficient.

[0028] Fn ≤ 1×10 -6 When, the natural seepage capacity of the reservoir is very weak.
[0029] Furthermore, the natural seepage coefficient Fn is expressed by the following formula:
[0030] F n = a * b * P n
[0031] Wherein, F n is the natural seepage coefficient, a is the permeability correction coefficient, b is the effective permeability coefficient, and P n is the pressure.

[0074] Step 2: The surface of the cylindrical sample was polished smooth with 80-mesh, 220-mesh, and 400-mesh sandpapers. After blowing off the surface dust, it was wiped clean with alcohol and placed in a confining pressure permeability measuring instrument. The temperature was raised to 60 °C, and after the temperature stabilized, the confining pressure permeability test was carried out. 3 MPa was selected as the initial pressure point, 35 MPa as the highest pressure point, and 19 MPa as the median pressure point for the permeability test under confining pressure conditions. Through repeated experiments, the highest pressure point for obtaining effective data was determined to be 6 MPa;

[0076] Step 4: The cylindrical sample after testing was cut perpendicular to the bedding. After cutting, the sample was observed under a thin section, the sedimentary structure characteristics were counted, and parallel samples were selected for XRD whole-rock mineral composition analysis. Combining the above data for lithofacies identification, the permeability correction coefficient a was assigned through lithofacies (Table 2);

Combine the above data for lithofacies identification, and assign the permeability correction coefficient a through lithofacies (Table 5);
[0091] Table 5 Lithofacies and correction parameter a of shale samples in Example 2
[0092]
[0093] Step 5: Determine the validity of the experimental data, calculate the shale permeability change rate Δ and the stress sensitivity coefficient S S , and assign values to the effective parameter b (Table 6).

And the initial permeability of the F1-10 sample is greater than 0.1×10 -3 μm -2 , so it is determined that the permeability effective coefficient b of F1-1 and F1-10 is 0, and only the permeability effective coefficient of F1-4 is 1.
