Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rock slice identification methods, and in particular to a device and method for measuring gravel-grade particle content in rock slices. Background Art

[0002] Rock debris particles are categorized by particle size, including both gravel-sized (≥2 mm) and sand-sized (<2 mm). Rock thin section identification complies with the People's Republic of China Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry Standard "SY / T 5368-2016 Rock Thin Section Identification," 6.1.6.4 d) and 6.1.7.3, both of which stipulate that clastic rocks should be designated based on their gravel content, including gravelly sandstone, gravelly sandstone, conglomerate, sandy conglomerate, and sandy conglomerate. These different rock types correspond to varying reservoir heterogeneities, requiring different development methods and drill bit types during subsequent oil and gas production. Therefore, quantitative analysis of gravel-sized debris particles in rock thin sections plays a crucial role in determining rock lithology, accurately understanding reservoir heterogeneity, and selecting subsequent oil and gas development and drilling strategies. It is an essential component of the exploration and development of clastic oil and gas reservoirs.

[0003] The prior art invention, "Device and Method for Counting Granular Particle Content in Rock Thin Sections," describes a device that utilizes a bracket to secure a transparent plate with multiple equally divided grids to a computer screen. The thin section is then placed under an optical microscope for examination, producing a photograph of the section. This photograph is then opened on a computer connected to the microscope, and the device for counting granular particle content in the rock thin section is secured to the computer screen. The specific method for counting granular particle content involves identifying different types of target particles using the thin section photographs, classifying the target particles into multiple categories, and then performing grid marking and counting. If a target particle is completely covered by a grid, the grid is considered valid and marked. If a target particle is not covered by a grid but occupies more than 1 / 2 of the grid area, it is also considered a valid grid and marked. If a target particle is covered by a grid but less than 1 / 2 of the grid area, the grid is considered invalid and discarded. After marking, the markings are counted.

[0004] 1) Because most rock particles are irregular in shape, existing techniques primarily use a square grid to mark target particles. This allows for the complete calculation of the area of ​​particles that fully occupy a single square grid. However, for irregular areas that do not completely fill a single square grid, if the area exceeds 1 / 2 of the grid area, this technique considers the grid to be valid, resulting in a higher calculated area than the actual area. If the area is less than 1 / 2 of the grid area, the technique considers the grid to be invalid and discards it. This irregular area is not included in the calculation, resulting in a lower calculated result than the actual area. Consequently, this technique results in significant errors in the area calculation of irregularly shaped particles. The core issue is that when a thin rock slice contains multiple irregularly shaped particles, it is impossible to accurately calculate the actual area of ​​these irregular particles and perform rapid statistics.

[0005] 2) When identifying rock thin sections, only the rock within the range of the cover glass needs to be identified. The Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry Standard of the People's Republic of China, "SY / T 5913-2021 Rock Sectioning Methods", 4.1.2 d) specifies the cover glass sizes for commonly used rock thin sections. The smallest cover glass is 18mm x 18mm, or 324mm. 2 Under the microscope, the field of view of the eyepiece with the lowest magnification of 2.5 times is about 5.5mm in diameter, which means that the maximum area of ​​a field of view of the microscope is π×(5.5÷2)2, which is about 23.76mm. 2 Therefore, a single microscope photo cannot cover an entire rock slice. The rock slice on the stage must be moved at least 14 times, with 14 photos taken, to piece together the entire rock slice. This process, coupled with overlapping and missing fields of view, reduces the accuracy of the content calculation and is time-consuming. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing methods in estimating particle content in rock thin sections, such as low accuracy and long time consumption, the present invention provides a device and method for measuring the content of gravel-sized particles in rock thin sections, which can restore the area of ​​gravel-sized particles on a one-to-one basis and accurately and quickly estimate their content ratio in rock thin sections. This provides an accurate basis for the accurate classification of clastic rocks and subsequent oil and gas exploration and development.

Example

[0034] Two rock thin sections from Well 96G02 in the conglomerate reservoir of Karamay Oilfield, Xinjiang, were selected. The cover glass dimensions of both thin sections were 24 mm × 24 mm × 0.17 mm. The rocks in the interlayer exceeded the range of the cover glass. The specific depths are shown in Table 1.

[0035] The gravel content measurement device and method for rock thin sections invented in this invention calculates the gravel content in this rock thin section as follows: (1) Place the gravel content measuring section of the rock slice of this invention above the rock slice and adjust the position so that the measuring chamber 2 covers the range of the rock slice cover glass; (2) Use the rectangular grid lines 31 on the transparent plate 3 to determine the particle size. When a particle occupies one grid or more than one grid, it is considered a gravel-grade particle and is marked on the transparent plate 3 above the particle with a red marker. When a particle does not occupy one grid, it is not included in the measurement and is not marked. (3) Open the partition device and pull the partition device to connect the measurement cabin chamber 2 and the magnetic powder cabin chamber 5; (4) Use the pen-shaped magnet 8 to absorb the magnetic powder 6 in the magnetic powder chamber 5 outside the box body 1, and move it into the measuring chamber 2 to cover the gravel-sized particles. Adjust the position to ensure that all areas of all marked gravel-sized particles are completely covered; (5) Push the separating device so that it completely separates the measuring chamber 2 and the magnetic powder chamber 5, and connect the separating device to the box body 1 through the locking device 7; (6) Shake the box body 1 until the magnetic powder 6 in the measuring chamber 2 is rectangular; (7) Using a ruler, measure the side lengths of the rectangular magnetic powder 6 in the chamber to be 26 mm and 16.8 mm respectively. Calculate the gravel-sized particle area S gravel = 26 mm × 16.8 mm = 436.8 mm 2 ; (8) Since the rock in the middle layer has exceeded the range of the cover glass, according to the known size of the cover glass, calculate Srock = Scover = 24 mm × 24 mm = 576 mm 2 ; (9) Calculate the gravel-grade rock particle content in this rock slice: H gravel = (S gravel / S rock) × 100% = (436.8 / 576) × 100% = 75.8%.

[0036] Using this method, the gravel-size particle content of another rock thin section was measured, as shown in Table 1.
