Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of shale oil and gas exploration and development, specifically to a method for evaluating the recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ shale conversion, a method for evaluating favorable development areas from in-situ shale conversion, a device for evaluating the recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ shale conversion, a device for evaluating favorable development areas from in-situ shale conversion, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] Immature to low-maturity shale oil and gas resources are abundant and represent a strategic area for future oil and gas exploration and development. However, due to the low degree of thermal evolution in immature to low-maturity shale, the proportion of convertible organic matter in the shale that can be converted into oil and gas is low, with most existing in a solid state. Organic pores are underdeveloped, and the gas-oil ratio is low, making large-scale development impossible with existing horizontal well volumetric fracturing technology. In-situ conversion technology is an effective technique for the efficient exploitation of oil and gas in immature to low-maturity shale. The recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ conversion in immature to low-maturity shale are fundamental to development; therefore, accurate evaluation of the recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ conversion in immature to low-maturity shale is crucial for selecting favorable areas.
[0003] Laboratory thermal simulation is the most common and important method for assessing the recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ conversion of immature to low-maturity shale. In laboratory simulation experiments, the samples are heated relatively uniformly, and all convertible organic matter in the shale can be completely converted during the thermal simulation experiment to evaluate the recoverable oil and gas reserves from in-situ conversion. However, there are significant differences between in-situ shale conversion in the field and laboratory in-situ conversion heating. When evaluating the recoverable resources from in-situ shale conversion, the following influencing factors should be considered:
[0004] (1) The influence of shale organic matter abundance or total organic carbon content, thermal evolution degree or vitrinite reflectance on the amount of oil and gas produced by in-situ conversion of shale;
[0005] (2) During the in-situ conversion and heating of shale underground, the temperature of shale gradually decreases from the heating well to the production well due to factors such as the heterogeneity of rock minerals and composition and differences in heat conduction. Even if the shale lithology is relatively homogeneous, the amount of hydrocarbon generated per unit mass of shale varies due to different temperatures at different locations, and the amount of oil and gas produced also varies. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the influence of heating temperature or the corresponding organic matter vitrinite reflectance on the produced oil and gas.
[0006] (3) Due to the different degrees of thermal evolution of shale in in-situ transformation, there are convertible solid organic matter and oil and gas that have been generated and retained in the shale. These organic matter contribute to the amount of oil and gas produced during the in-situ transformation process.
[0007] (4) Differences in burial depth and / or in-situ conversion development conditions result in differences in fluid pressure in shale in-situ conversion strata, which affects the amount of oil and gas produced.
[0008] (5) The properties and / or density of the retained oil have an impact on the amount of oil and gas produced by in-situ conversion;
[0009] (6) The type of organic matter has an impact on the oil-to-gas ratio (or gas-to-oil ratio) in the produced oil and gas.
[0010] Therefore, to accurately assess the recoverable oil and gas resources in shale in-situ conversion, it is necessary to consider controlling factors such as shale organic matter abundance, organic matter type, thermal evolution degree, amount of retained oil and gas and density of retained oil, and fluid pressure during in-situ conversion. This will facilitate the establishment of a more accurate evaluation method for recoverable oil and gas resources in shale in-situ conversion, and provide technical support for the selection, evaluation, and development of in-situ conversion areas for immature to low-maturity shale.
[0011] However, existing technologies for evaluating the amount of oil and gas produced and / or the recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ shale conversion mainly consider the influence of factors such as the total organic carbon content of shale, vitrinite reflectance, heating rate, and temperature. For example, Chinese patent document filed on July 15, 2020, with application number 202010678399.4, proposes a method and apparatus for predicting the recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ shale conversion. This prediction method uses the total organic carbon content of shale and vitrinite reflectance to establish a predictive model for recoverable oil and gas resources. Chinese patent document filed on March 2, 2018, with application number 201810174445.X, proposes a method and apparatus for determining the amount of oil and gas produced from in-situ shale oil conversion. This determination method uses the total organic carbon content of shale, vitrinite reflectance, and HC parameters to establish an evaluation model for the amount of oil and gas produced from in-situ conversion. These evaluation methods are applicable to assessing the amount of oil and gas produced (or recoverable oil and gas resources) from the in-situ conversion of shale in the target layer in the study area, but they are not universally applicable. If these evaluation methods are extended to the amount of oil and gas produced (or recoverable oil and gas resources) from the in-situ conversion of shale in non-thermal simulation experimental study areas, their evaluation accuracy will be limited. Furthermore, these evaluation methods do not consider factors such as the amount of oil and gas retained during the in-situ conversion process, the properties of retained oil (such as crude oil density), fluid pressure, and the type of organic matter on the oil-to-gas ratio (or gas-to-oil ratio) in the produced oil and gas, which will also limit the evaluation accuracy.
[0012] In summary, it is necessary to provide a method for evaluating recoverable oil and gas resources in shale in-situ conversion that simultaneously considers factors such as total organic carbon content of shale, degree of thermal evolution or vitrinite reflectivity, amount of retained oil and gas, properties of retained oil (such as crude oil density), fluid pressure, and the influence of organic matter type on the oil-to-gas ratio or gas-to-oil ratio in the produced oil and gas. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0101] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0102] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.
[0103] In this invention, terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely for ease of description and distinction, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0104] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection; they can refer to a wired connection or a wireless connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0105] In existing technologies, after conducting shale thermal simulation experiments, an evaluation model for in-situ conversion of oil and gas production can be established using parameters such as total organic carbon content, vitrinite reflectance, and heating rate of shale. This model can then be used to obtain the in-situ conversion oil and gas production (or recoverable oil and gas resources) of the target shale layer in the study area. While these methods can obtain recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ shale conversion, the evaluation results are only applicable to shale samples corresponding to the thermal simulation experiments and lack universality. For study areas where thermal simulation experiments have not been conducted, the evaluation models for in-situ conversion of oil and gas production obtained by the above methods are not suitable for calculating the recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ shale conversion in non-thermal simulation experiment study areas. Furthermore, the above methods do not consider the influence of control factors such as the amount of retained oil and gas, the properties of retained oil (such as crude oil density), fluid pressure, and organic matter type on the oil-to-gas ratio or gas-to-oil ratio in the produced oil and gas, thus limiting the accuracy of recoverable oil and gas resource evaluation.
[0106] To address the limitation on the accuracy of recoverable oil and gas resource assessment in existing shale in-situ conversion methods due to the limited number of control factors considered, this invention provides a method for evaluating recoverable oil and gas resources in shale in-situ conversion. This method simultaneously considers factors such as total organic carbon content, thermal evolution degree (or vitrinite reflectance), amount of retained oil and gas, properties of retained oil (e.g., crude oil density), fluid pressure, and the influence of organic matter type on the oil-to-gas ratio or gas-to-oil ratio in the produced oil and gas, establishing a universally applicable evaluation model for recoverable oil and gas resources in shale in-situ conversion. Furthermore, this invention also provides a method for evaluating favorable development areas in shale in-situ conversion. Based on the results obtained from the shale in-situ conversion recoverable oil and gas resource assessment model, this method proposes a shale in-situ conversion site selection technique, providing technical support for shale in-situ conversion development. Compared to existing methods for evaluating recoverable oil and gas resources in shale in-situ conversion, this invention improves the accuracy of predicting recoverable oil and gas resources in shale in-situ conversion. In practice, the above method can be executed by an electronic device, which can be a server, terminal, or other device with processing capabilities.
[0107] The technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.
[0108] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this invention provides a method for evaluating the recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ shale conversion. The evaluation method includes the following steps:
[0109] Step S101: Obtain shale in-situ conversion heat simulation experimental data under different fluid pressure conditions, crude oil in-situ conversion heat simulation experimental data under different hydrocarbon expulsion pressure conditions, and shale Fischer analysis experimental data under different thermal evolution degrees.
[0110] It should be noted here that the shale in-situ transformation thermal simulation experiment refers to an experiment used to simulate the in-situ transformation process of shale under high temperature and high pressure conditions underground. In this experiment, a high-temperature and high-pressure reactor or an experimental device simulating underground rock layers is typically used to simulate geological conditions. At the start of the thermal simulation experiment, the shale sample is placed under high temperature and high pressure conditions, and an appropriate catalyst or activator is added. Then, by heating the sample and applying pressure, the temperature and pressure conditions in the underground rock are simulated. Under such conditions, the organic matter in the shale may undergo pyrolysis, cracking, and transformation, producing hydrocarbons and other hydrocarbons. In this embodiment, the data from the shale in-situ transformation thermal simulation experiment should at least include the total organic carbon content, vitrinite reflectance, thermally simulated oil and gas production (including thermally simulated oil and gas production), and retained oil and gas production (including retained oil and gas production).
[0111] In-situ crude oil conversion thermal simulation experiment refers to an experiment used to evaluate the contribution of residual oil in shale to the production of oil and gas from in-situ shale conversion. In this experiment, after all convertible organic matter in the shale sample has been converted, crude oil is usually mixed with the sample residue in a certain proportion, and then the sample residue is heated and pressure is applied. In this embodiment, the data from the crude oil in-situ conversion thermal simulation experiment should at least include the crude oil density, the proportion of produced oil to the original amount of oil used in the thermal simulation, and the amount of gas produced per unit mass of thermal simulation oil.
[0112] The Fischer assay for shale oil is a method used to assess the potential yield and quality of shale oil. In this assay, shale samples are heated to high temperatures, typically between 500°C and 600°C, under anaerobic conditions. During this process, the organic matter in the shale decomposes, releasing gaseous and liquid products. By collecting and analyzing these released gaseous and liquid products, the hydrocarbon content, hydrocarbon composition, calorific value, and other key parameters of the shale can be assessed. In this embodiment, the Fischer assay data should include at least the amount of oil and gas generated per unit of total organic carbon content.
[0113] Step S102: Based on the experimental data of shale in-situ conversion thermal simulation under different fluid pressure conditions and the experimental data of shale Fischer analysis under different thermal evolution degrees, a prediction model for the amount of oil and gas produced by shale in-situ conversion is constructed.
[0114] Step S103: Based on the experimental data of shale in-situ conversion heat simulation under predetermined fluid pressure conditions, construct a prediction model for the amount of retained oil and gas.
[0115] Step S104: Based on the experimental data of in-situ conversion heat simulation of crude oil under different hydrocarbon expulsion pressure conditions, construct a prediction model for the amount of oil and gas produced by in-situ conversion of crude oil.
[0116] Step S105: Based on the shale in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model, the retained oil and gas production prediction model, and the crude oil in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model, construct a unit mass shale in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model.
[0117] Step S106: Based on the prediction model of oil and gas production per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion, determine the recoverable oil and gas resources per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion in the target layer to be evaluated.
[0118] Thus, by analyzing various experimental data from shale samples, a model for evaluating the recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ shale conversion can be constructed (i.e., the prediction model for the amount of oil and gas produced per unit mass of shale from in-situ conversion obtained in step 6) under the premise of considering factors such as the total organic carbon content of shale, the degree of thermal evolution (or vitrinite reflectance), the amount of retained oil and gas, the properties of retained oil (such as crude oil density), fluid pressure, and the influence of organic matter type on the oil-to-gas ratio or gas-to-oil ratio in the produced oil and gas. This model can be applied to the recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ conversion of shale in the development area where the shale sample is located, as well as to the recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ conversion of shale in development areas with similar lithology to the shale sample but where thermal simulation experiments have not yet been conducted.
[0119] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, in step S102, the process of constructing a prediction model for the amount of oil and gas produced by the in-situ conversion of shale based on experimental data of in-situ thermal simulation of shale under different fluid pressure conditions and experimental data of shale Fischer analysis under different thermal evolution degrees may include, but is not limited to, the following sub-steps S1021 to S1024.
[0120] In step S1021, based on the experimental data of shale in-situ conversion heat simulation under predetermined fluid pressure conditions, a prediction model for cumulative oil and gas production is constructed.
[0121] Specifically, under predetermined fluid pressure conditions, in-situ thermal simulation experiments of shale transformation at different thermal simulation temperatures are conducted on different shale samples to obtain the simulated oil and gas production of different shale samples at different thermal simulation temperatures. By analyzing the variation patterns among the total organic carbon content, vitrinite reflectance, and simulated oil and gas production of different shale samples, a cumulative oil and gas production prediction model can be constructed.
[0122] In step S1022, based on the experimental data of shale in-situ conversion heat simulation under different fluid pressure conditions, a fluid pressure correction model for the amount of oil and gas produced is constructed.
[0123] Specifically, changes in fluid pressure have a significant controlling effect on the amount of oil and gas produced from in-situ shale conversion, such as... Figure 3 As shown, under the same conditions, the oil production decreases and the gas production increases with increasing fluid pressure. Therefore, the influence of fluid pressure must be considered when evaluating the oil and gas production from the in-situ conversion of shale solid organic matter.
[0124] Based on this, by conducting in-situ thermal simulation experiments on different shale samples at the same thermal simulation temperature under different fluid pressure conditions, the simulated oil and gas production of different shale samples under different fluid pressures can be obtained. By analyzing the variation law between different fluid pressures and the simulated oil and gas production, a fluid pressure correction model for the oil and gas production can be constructed.
[0125] In step S1023, a prediction model for oil and gas production is constructed based on experimental data from shale Fischer analysis under different thermal evolution conditions.
[0126] Specifically, since the degree of thermal evolution or vitrinite reflectance has a certain impact on the amount of hydrocarbons generated from in-situ conversion of shale, Fischer analysis experiments on shale samples under different degrees of thermal evolution can be conducted to obtain the amount of hydrocarbons generated per unit of total organic carbon under different degrees of thermal evolution. By analyzing the variation patterns between the vitrinite reflectance of shale samples and the amount of hydrocarbons generated per unit of total organic carbon, a hydrocarbon generation prediction model can be constructed.
[0127] In step S1024, based on the cumulative oil and gas production prediction model, the fluid pressure correction model for oil and gas production, and the oil and gas generation prediction model, a shale in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model is constructed.
[0128] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, the specific process of constructing a cumulative oil and gas production prediction model based on shale in-situ conversion heat simulation experimental data under predetermined fluid pressure conditions in step S1021 may include:
[0129] Sub-step S10212: Based on the thermal simulation experimental data of shale in-situ conversion under predetermined fluid pressure conditions, the thermal simulation oil and gas production of each shale sample is determined as the cumulative oil and gas production of shale in-situ conversion.
[0130] In sub-step S10212, a prediction model for the cumulative oil and gas production is obtained by fitting a model with total organic carbon content and vitrinite reflectance as the two independent variables and the cumulative oil and gas production from in-situ shale conversion under predetermined fluid pressure conditions as the dependent variable.
[0131] Here, the cumulative oil and gas production prediction model can include: the calculation expression for the cumulative oil production from in-situ shale conversion and the calculation expression for the cumulative gas production from in-situ shale conversion.
[0132] For example, in practical implementation, during the shale in-situ conversion heat simulation experiment, besides most of the oil collected in a sealed collector immersed in a 5°C constant temperature water bath, a portion of the simulated oil produced by the shale in-situ conversion heat also adheres to the hydrocarbon discharge pipeline. The weight of the oil in the collector (G1) can be quantified by the change in the weight of the collector before and after the experiment. The method for collecting and quantifying the oil adhering to the hydrocarbon discharge pipeline is as follows: First, the hydrocarbon discharge pipeline is flushed with 15 ml of dichloromethane. The crude oil contained in the flushing fluid is quantified using the internal standard method, with the internal standard being C at a concentration of 0.205 mg / ml. 24 H 49 D; then, the total oil content (G2) in the collected liquid is obtained by comparing the peak areas in the chromatogram of the collected liquid with the internal standard area. Based on this, the total weight G of the thermally simulated oil produced at a certain temperature point is calculated. i It is equal to the sum of G1 and G2.
[0133] As for the gases generated during the shale in-situ conversion heat simulation experiment, they can be collected using a vacuum bag, and the gas volume can be measured by displacing the entire bag. Gas composition analysis can be performed on a Wasson-Agilent 7890 gas chromatograph, which contains one flame ionization detector and two thermal conductivity detectors, and can detect hydrocarbon gases as well as H2S, CO2, H2, O2, and N2 in a single analysis.
[0134] Therefore, based on the experimental data of shale in-situ conversion thermal simulation under predetermined fluid pressure conditions, the cumulative oil production calculation expression of shale in-situ conversion can be obtained by fitting the following formula (1).
[0135]
[0136] The cumulative gas production calculation expression of shale in-situ conversion can be obtained by fitting the following formula (2).

[0139] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, step S1022, the specific implementation process of constructing a fluid pressure correction model for oil and gas production based on shale in-situ conversion heat simulation experimental data under different fluid pressure conditions, may include:
[0140] Sub-step S10221: Calculate the ratio of the thermally simulated oil and gas production under different fluid pressure conditions to the thermally simulated oil and gas production under predetermined fluid pressure conditions, and determine the ratio as the fluid pressure correction coefficient for the oil and gas production under different fluid pressure conditions.
[0141] Sub-step S10222: Using different fluid pressures as independent variables and the fluid pressure correction coefficient for the amount of oil and gas produced under different fluid pressure conditions as dependent variables, a fluid pressure correction model for the amount of oil and gas produced is obtained by fitting.
[0142] Here, the fluid pressure correction model for the amount of oil and gas produced can include: a correction expression for the amount of oil produced by fluid pressure and a correction expression for the amount of gas produced by fluid pressure.
[0143] For example, in practical implementation, using the same batch of crushed shale samples, under the same heating rate and final heating temperature, data on oil and gas production corresponding to thermal simulation experiments with fluid pressures of 0 Psi, 100 Psi, 250 Psi, 500 Psi, and 725 Psi were obtained. The ratio of oil production under the 0 Psi, 100 Psi, 250 Psi, and 500 Psi fluid pressure conditions to that under the 725 Psi fluid pressure condition (i.e., PR) was calculated.oil The fluid pressure correction coefficient PR for the oil production rate is obtained by regressing the fluid pressure with the corresponding fluid pressure. oil Similarly, the ratio of the produced gas volume under fluid pressure conditions of 0 Psi, 100 Psi, 250 Psi, and 500 Psi to the produced gas volume under fluid pressure condition of 725 Psi (i.e., PR) gas The fluid pressure correction coefficient PR for the output gas volume is obtained by regressing the output gas volume with the corresponding fluid pressure. gas .
[0144] Therefore, based on the experimental data of shale in-situ conversion heat simulation under different fluid pressure conditions, the correction expression of fluid pressure on oil production can be obtained by fitting the following formula (3).
[0145]
[0146] The corrected expression for fluid pressure on the output gas volume can be obtained by fitting the following formula (4).

[0149] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, in step S1023, the specific implementation process of constructing a prediction model for the amount of oil and gas generated based on shale Fischer analysis experimental data under different thermal evolution degrees may include: using vitrinite reflectance as the independent variable and the amount of oil and gas generated per unit of total organic carbon content as the dependent variable, and obtaining the prediction model for the amount of oil and gas generated through fitting.
[0150] Here, the oil and gas production prediction model can include: an expression for calculating oil production and an expression for calculating gas production.
[0151] For example, in specific implementation, based on the shale Fischer analysis experimental data under different thermal evolution degrees, the formula (5) can be used to fit the expression for calculating the amount of oil generated.
[0152]
[0153] The formula for calculating the generated gas volume can be obtained by fitting the following formula (6).

[0156] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, the shale in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model constructed in step S1024 may include: a correction expression for the cumulative oil production from shale in-situ conversion and a correction expression for the cumulative gas production from shale in-situ conversion.
[0157] In practice, the correction expression for the cumulative oil production from in-situ shale conversion can be constructed according to the following formula (7).
[0158]
[0159] A corrected expression for the cumulative gas production from in-situ shale conversion can be constructed according to the following formula (8).
[0160]
[0161] Among them, Q poc For the corrected cumulative oil production from in-situ shale conversion, mg / g rock; PR oil The fluid pressure correction factor for oil production is dimensionless. To evaluate the amount of oil produced per unit of total organic carbon (TOC) in shale samples from the target layer, the value is expressed as mg / g.TOC. The amount of oil produced per unit of total organic carbon (TOC) of shale samples used in the in-situ shale conversion heat simulation experiment, in mg / g.TOC; Q po The cumulative oil production from in-situ shale conversion before correction, in mg / g rock; Q pgc The revised cumulative gas production from in-situ shale conversion, in ml / g rock; PR gas The fluid pressure correction factor for the output gas volume is dimensionless.

[0162] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, step S103, the specific implementation process of constructing a prediction model for the amount of retained oil and gas based on the experimental data of shale in-situ conversion heat under predetermined fluid pressure conditions, may include: using total organic carbon content and vitrinite reflectance as dual independent variables, and the amount of retained oil and gas under predetermined fluid pressure conditions as the dependent variable, to obtain a prediction model for the amount of retained oil and gas through fitting.
[0163] Here, the prediction model for retained oil and gas volume can include: the calculation expression for retained oil volume in shale and the calculation expression for retained gas volume in shale.
[0164] For example, in a practical implementation, during the in-situ thermal simulation experiment of shale conversion, the amount of oil and gas retained in the rock samples at different thermal simulation temperatures can be collected to obtain the amount of oil and gas retained in the shale.
[0165] Therefore, based on the experimental data of shale in-situ conversion heat simulation under predetermined fluid pressure conditions, the formula for calculating the amount of oil retained in shale can be obtained by fitting the following formula (9).
[0166]
[0167] The formula for calculating the amount of gas retained in shale can be obtained by fitting the following formula (10).

[0170] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, the crude oil in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model may include: an expression for calculating the proportion of produced oil to the original oil consumption in the thermal simulation and an expression for calculating the gas production per unit mass of thermal simulation oil.
[0171] Based on this, in step S104, the process of constructing a prediction model for the amount of oil and gas produced by the in-situ conversion of crude oil based on the experimental data of the in-situ conversion heat simulation of crude oil under different hydrocarbon expulsion pressure conditions may include, but is not limited to, the following sub-steps S1041 to S1042.
[0172] In step S1041, with hydrocarbon discharge pressure and crude oil density as the two independent variables and the proportion of produced oil to the original oil consumption in the thermal simulation as the dependent variable, the expression for calculating the proportion of produced oil to the original oil consumption in the thermal simulation is obtained through fitting.
[0173] In step S1042, with hydrocarbon discharge pressure and crude oil density as the two independent variables and the gas production per unit mass of thermal simulation oil as the dependent variable, the gas production per unit mass of thermal simulation oil is obtained by fitting.
[0174] For example, in specific implementation, based on the experimental data of crude oil in-situ conversion heat simulation under different hydrocarbon discharge pressure conditions, the following formula (11) can be used to fit and obtain the calculation expression of the proportion of produced oil to the original oil consumption in the heat simulation.
[0175]
[0176] The gas production calculation expression for a unit mass of thermal simulation oil can be obtained by fitting the following formula (12).
[0177]
[0178] Among them, R oil RQ represents the percentage of oil produced relative to the original oil consumption in the thermal simulation. gasP1 represents the gas production per unit mass of thermal simulation oil, in ml / g.oil; P2 represents the hydrocarbon discharge pressure, in MPa; ρ o Crude oil density for thermal simulation, g / cm³ 3 f1 is the first empirical coefficient of the crude oil in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model, dimensionless; f2 is the second empirical coefficient of the crude oil in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model, dimensionless; f3 is the third empirical coefficient of the crude oil in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model, dimensionless; f4 is the fourth empirical coefficient of the crude oil in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model, dimensionless; f5 is the fifth empirical coefficient of the crude oil in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model, dimensionless; f6 is the sixth empirical coefficient of the crude oil in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model, dimensionless.
[0179] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this. In addition to the fitting method, other methods such as neural network model, support vector regression model, linear regression model, ridge regression model or Lasso regression model can also be used to construct the cumulative oil and gas production prediction model, the fluid pressure correction model for oil and gas production, the oil and gas generation prediction model, the stagnant oil and gas production prediction model and the crude oil in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0187] Step S201: Use the shale in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model to determine the recoverable oil and gas resources per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion in the target layer to be evaluated.
[0188] Here, the prediction model for oil and gas production from in-situ shale conversion can be constructed using the evaluation method for recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ shale conversion in the above embodiments. The specific implementation process will not be elaborated here.
[0189] Step S202: Based on the in-situ conversion and development parameter values of shale, determine the lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent per unit mass of shale.

[0201] This invention also provides another method for evaluating favorable areas for in-situ shale conversion and development. This evaluation method, in addition to the process of dividing favorable strata for in-situ conversion and development based on the lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent per unit mass of shale, also includes the process of dividing favorable areas for in-situ shale conversion and development.
[0202] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, another method for evaluating favorable areas for in-situ shale conversion and development may include the following steps:
[0203] Step S301: Use the shale in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model to determine the recoverable oil and gas resources per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion in the target layer to be evaluated.

[0206] Step S304: The area where the recoverable oil equivalent per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion is greater than the lower limit of the recoverable oil equivalent per unit mass of shale is identified as a favorable zone for in-situ conversion development.
[0207] It should be noted that the process of determining the favorable strata for in-situ conversion and development in steps S301 to S304 is the same as the concept of the evaluation method for favorable shale in-situ conversion and development areas in the above embodiments, and the specific implementation process will not be repeated here.
[0208] Step S305: Based on the favorable strata for in-situ conversion development and the recoverable oil and gas resources per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion, determine the abundance of recoverable oil and gas resources.

[0213] Step S306: Compare the economic lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent of the development well group or development unit with the abundance of recoverable oil and gas resources.
[0214] Step S307: Areas with recoverable oil and gas resource abundance greater than or equal to the economic lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent of development well groups or development units are identified as favorable areas for in-situ shale conversion and development.
[0215] To better understand the exemplary embodiments of the present invention described above, they will be further described below in conjunction with specific examples and accompanying drawings.
[0216] Taking nine shale samples from the Chang 73 Formation of the Triassic System in the Ordos Basin and five shale samples from the Nenjiang Formation of the Cretaceous System in the Songliao Basin as examples, the original geochemical parameter values of each shale sample are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
[0217] Table 1. Original geochemical parameters of the Triassic Yanchang Formation Chang 73 shale sample from the Ordos Basin.
[0218]
[0219] Table 2. Original geochemical parameters of Cretaceous Nenjiang Formation shale samples from the Songliao Basin.
[0220]
[0221] Based on the aforementioned shale samples, after conducting in-situ shale conversion heat simulation experiments, crude oil in-situ conversion heat simulation experiments, and shale Fischer analysis experiments, a prediction model for the amount of oil and gas produced per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion was constructed. The specific process for predicting the recoverable oil and gas resources per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion in the target layer to be evaluated is as follows (e.g. Figure 6 (As shown).
[0222] Step S401: Using shale in-situ conversion heat simulation experimental data, and taking total organic carbon content and vitrinite reflectance as influencing factors, establish a prediction model for cumulative oil and gas production and a prediction model for retained oil and gas production, respectively.
[0223] Specifically, 108 in-situ conversion heat simulation experiments were first conducted on 9 shale samples from the Triassic Yanchang Formation (Chang 73) in the Ordos Basin, and 60 in-situ conversion heat simulation experiments were conducted on 5 shale samples from the Cretaceous Nenjiang Formation in the Songliao Basin, to obtain the simulated oil and gas production and retained oil and gas volume, respectively.
[0224] When conducting in-situ conversion heat simulation experiments on shale to produce oil and gas, the preset fluid pressure was 5 MPa (725 Psi) and the hydrocarbon expulsion pressure was 7 MPa (1015 Psi). The temperature was increased at a rate of 20 °C / d to the preset temperature before each set temperature point (the temperature before the first temperature point was 200 °C). Then, the sample was heated to the preset temperature at a rate of 5 °C / d and held at the preset temperature for 10 hours. Among them, the preset temperatures for the in-situ heat transformation simulation experiments of 9 shale samples from the Chang 73 Formation of the Triassic System in the Ordos Basin were 250℃, 300℃, 320℃, 335℃, 350℃, 360℃, 390℃, 440℃, 500℃, 540℃, and 580℃, respectively; and the preset temperatures for the in-situ heat transformation simulation experiments of 5 shale samples from the Nenjiang Formation of the Cretaceous System in the Songliao Basin were 215℃, 235℃, 285℃, 305℃, 320℃, 335℃, 345℃, 375℃, 385℃, 485℃, 525℃, and 565℃, respectively.
[0225] The inventors discovered through research that the maximum oil and gas production rates produced in in-situ conversion thermal simulation experiments with different heating rates are roughly equivalent. Therefore, it can be considered that the cumulative oil and gas production from shale in-situ conversion is basically unaffected by the heating rate. Thus, in this embodiment, the influence of the heating rate is not considered in the cumulative oil and gas production prediction model.
[0226] Using 108 sets of in-situ conversion heat simulation experimental data from 9 shale samples of the Chang 73 section of the Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin, the cumulative hydrocarbon production prediction model obtained through fitting is as follows:
[0227]
[0228]
[0229] Using 108 sets of in-situ conversion heat simulation experimental data from 9 shale samples of the Chang 73 section of the Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin, the predicted model for retained hydrocarbon volume obtained through fitting is as follows:
[0230]
[0231]
[0232] Step S402: Using experimental data from shale in-situ conversion heat simulation under different fluid pressure conditions, and taking fluid pressure as an influencing factor, establish a fluid pressure correction model for the amount of oil and gas produced.
[0233] Specifically, we first conducted in-situ shale conversion heat simulation experiments under different fluid pressure conditions on shale samples to obtain fluid pressure correction coefficients under different fluid pressure conditions.
[0234] When conducting thermal simulations of the effect of fluid pressure on the production of oil and gas from in-situ transformed shale, five fluid pressures were preset: 0 MPa (0 Psi), 0.7 MPa (100 Psi), 1.7 MPa (250 Psi), 3.5 MPa (500 Psi), and 5 MPa (725 Psi). The samples were heated to 200 °C at a rate of 20 °C / d, and then heated to the preset temperature of 425 °C at a rate of 5 °C / d. After reaching the preset temperature, the samples were held at that temperature for 10 h. The original geochemical parameters of the shale samples are shown in Table 3, and the simulated oil and gas production under different pressure conditions are shown in Table 4.
[0235] Table 3 Geochemical parameters of shale samples
[0236]
[0237] Table 4. Simulated oil and gas production under different fluid pressure conditions using in-situ heat conversion.
[0238]
[0239] Using in-situ shale conversion heat simulation experimental data under different fluid pressure conditions, the fluid pressure correction model for oil and gas production obtained by fitting is as follows:
[0240]
[0241] PR gas =0.1144P1+0.428.
[0242] Step S403: Using Fischer analysis experimental data of shale with different thermal evolution degrees, and taking vitrinite reflectance as an influencing factor, establish a prediction model for the amount of oil and gas generated.
[0243] Using Fischer analysis data of shale samples at different thermal evolution stages, the hydrocarbon generation prediction model obtained through fitting is as follows:
[0244]
[0245]
[0246] Step S404: Using experimental data from in-situ conversion heat simulation of crude oil under different hydrocarbon expulsion pressure conditions, and taking hydrocarbon expulsion pressure and crude oil density as influencing factors, establish a prediction model for the amount of oil and gas produced from in-situ conversion of crude oil.
[0247] To address the contribution of shale oil residing in shale to the production of oil and gas from in-situ conversion, a calorimetric simulation of oil and gas production from crude oil in-situ conversion was conducted. First, the shale sample was heated to 800℃ and held at that temperature for 48 hours to convert all convertible organic matter in the shale. The cooled sample residue was then extracted with dichloromethane. The extracted residue sample was held at 80℃ for 48 hours and then cooled. Crude oil was mixed with the sample residue at a mass of 5 wt%. A heating rate of 5℃ / d and hydrocarbon expulsion pressures of 2 MPa (290 Psi), 5 MPa (725 Psi), and 10 MPa (1450 Psi) were set for the calorimetric simulation of oil and gas production from crude oil in-situ conversion. The proportion of produced oil to the original oil used in the calorimetric simulation and the amount of gas produced per unit mass of simulated oil were obtained.
[0248] Using experimental data from in-situ crude oil conversion heat simulation under different hydrocarbon expulsion pressures on shale samples, a prediction model for crude oil and gas production from in-situ conversion was obtained through fitting:
[0249]
[0250]
[0251] Step S405: Based on the fluid pressure correction model for the produced oil and gas volume and the oil and gas generation prediction model, the cumulative oil and gas production prediction model is corrected to establish a shale in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model.
[0252] The constructed prediction model for oil and gas production from in-situ shale conversion is as follows:
[0253]
[0254]
[0255] Step S406: Based on the shale in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model, the retained oil and gas production prediction model, and the crude oil in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model, establish a prediction model for the production of oil and gas per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion.
[0256] The final prediction model for the amount of oil and gas produced per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion is as follows:
[0257]
[0258]
[0259] By performing steps S401 to S406 above, a prediction model for the amount of oil and gas produced by in-situ conversion of shale per unit mass can be constructed. Using this prediction model, the recoverable oil and gas resources per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion of the target layer to be evaluated can be calculated, thereby realizing the evaluation of recoverable oil and gas resources in in-situ conversion and development of immature to medium-low maturity shale.
[0260] After determining the recoverable oil and gas resources per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion in the target layer to be evaluated, shale in-situ conversion site selection can be carried out to identify favorable areas for in-situ conversion development. Specifically, the specific process for further determining favorable areas for shale in-situ development based on the oil and gas production prediction model per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion is as follows (e.g.) Figure 6 (As shown).
[0261] Step S407: Use the in-situ conversion oil and gas production prediction model of shale per unit mass to determine the recoverable oil and gas resources per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion of the target layer to be evaluated.
[0262] Step S408: Based on the in-situ conversion and development parameter values of shale, determine the economic lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent and the lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent per unit mass of shale for the development well group or development unit.
[0263] For the specific calculation process of the economic lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent and the lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent per unit mass of shale, please refer to the above formulas (15) and (16).
[0264] Step S409: Based on the lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent per unit mass of shale and the recoverable oil and gas resources per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion, determine the favorable strata for in-situ conversion.
[0265] In shale in-situ conversion development, heaters are used to heat the favorable strata as a whole. When profitable mining is achieved, the average recoverable oil equivalent per unit mass of rock in the heated strata must be greater than its economic lower limit. This method is used to determine the favorable strata for in-situ conversion.
[0266] Step S410: Determine the abundance of recoverable oil and gas resources based on the favorable strata for in-situ conversion development and the recoverable oil and gas resources per unit mass of shale in-situ conversion.
[0267] In this example, according to 1425m 3 The calorific value of natural gas is equivalent to that of 1 ton of crude oil, which can be used to calculate the recoverable oil equivalent abundance.
[0268] For the specific calculation process of recoverable oil and gas resource abundance, please refer to the above formulas (17) and (18).
[0269] Step S411: Determine favorable areas for in-situ shale conversion and development based on the economic lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent and the abundance of recoverable oil and gas resources of the development well group or development unit.
[0270] Areas with recoverable oil and gas resource abundance greater than or equal to the economic lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent of development well groups or development units can be identified as favorable areas for in-situ shale conversion and development.
[0271] After constructing a prediction model for the amount of oil and gas produced by in-situ conversion of shale per unit mass by performing steps S401 to S406, the selection of development areas for in-situ conversion of immature to low-maturity shale can be realized by performing steps S407 to S411.
[0272] For example, Figure 7 To utilize the evaluation method for favorable shale in-situ development areas in this example, a recoverable oil equivalent resource abundance distribution map was calculated based on the parameters of the immature to low-maturity shale at the bottom of the second member of the Nenjiang Formation in the Songliao Basin. Figure 8 This is a map showing the distribution of favorable areas for in-situ transformation of immature to low-maturity shale at the bottom of the second member of the Nenjiang Formation in the Songliao Basin.
[0273] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 It can be seen that the lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent resource abundance (i.e., the lower limit of recoverable oil equivalent economic abundance) is 100×10 4 t / km 2 and 70×10 4 t / km 2 Using these two lower limits and Figure 7 By comparing the recoverable oil equivalent resource abundance (i.e., recoverable oil and gas resource abundance) at different locations within the development well group, it is possible to classify and obtain... Figure 8 The Songliao Basin contains Class I and Class II favorable areas for in-situ transformation of immature to low-maturity shale at the bottom of the Nenjiang Formation II.
