[0002] With the improvement of oil and gas exploration degree and technology, it is particularly important to find beneficial reserves and explore the rules of oil and gas accumulation. The development of source rock is the material basis for oil and gas accumulation, therefore, the distribution of effective source rock is one of the hotspots in current oil and gas geological exploration. Marine source rock is the main source of global oil and gas, and is widely distributed in the global range. The prediction of the distribution of marine source rock is one of the difficult problems in the field of ancient marine carbonate rock. At present, the research on marine source rock mainly focuses on the theory of hydrocarbon generation, and lacks the research on the identification and prediction method of thin-layered marine shale source rock in actual oil and gas exploration production.

[0003] The oil and gas exploration of shale strata of the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation in Sichuan Basin has achieved good results, which confirms that the distribution of marine source rock controls the distribution of natural gas, so the accurate identification of shale in marine source rock has important guiding significance for the next step of exploration work. However, the ancient layer series of marine carbonate rock has the prediction problems of poor quality of seismic data, difficulty in obtaining velocity field, and difficulty in identifying small-scale marine source rock, which makes the prediction of the distribution range of this thin-layered marine shale source rock more difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an objective and practical quantitative identification method for the identification and planar prediction of thin-layered marine shale source rock. SUMMARY

[0025] Further, the specific steps of predicting the planar distribution of the thin-layered shale-type hydrocarbon source rock based on the cumulative thickness of the thin-layered shale-type hydrocarbon source rock in the target layer are as follows:

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] The main objective of this invention is to address the problem of identifying and predicting the planar distribution of thin-layered shale-type source rocks by providing a technique based on core observation, well logging response, and seismic interpretation to establish a well logging identification scale, thereby effectively identifying and predicting the planar distribution of thin-layered shale-type source rocks.

[0058] Figure 1A flowchart illustrating a well logging identification and prediction method for thin-layered mudstone-shale type marine hydrocarbon source rocks according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a well logging identification and prediction method for thin-layered mudstone-shale type marine hydrocarbon source rocks, comprising the following steps:

[0059] Step 1: Core observation to determine the layer and lithological characteristics of thin-layered mudstone-shale type source rocks (thin-layered mudstone-shale type marine source rocks).

[0060] Systematic sampling was conducted on thin-layered mudstone and shale-type source rock cores from the standard well YY1 in the study area. All target layers in the study area are marine carbonate rocks, with no sandstone reservoirs; the reservoirs are primarily carbonate rocks.

[0061] Because thin-layered mudstone and shale-type source rocks have small individual layer thicknesses, they are difficult to locate based solely on well logging characteristics. Through core observation of thin-layered mudstone and shale-type source rocks in the study area, the lithological characteristics of "thin-layered mudstone and shale-type source rocks" are defined here as source rocks with a single layer thickness of 1–10 cm, exhibiting thin sheet-like or thin-sheet layered foliation, and rich in organic matter, which differs from pure mudstone and carbonate mudstone.

[0062] The lithological characteristics of thin-layered shale-type source rocks were clarified, and the stratigraphic intervals in which these source rocks develop were determined. Specifically, the standard well YY1 in the study area was selected for analysis of the lithological characteristics and well logging response of the thin-layered shale-type source rocks.

[0063] Step 2: Analyze the logging response characteristics of thin-layered mudstone and shale-type source rocks.

[0064] The thin-layered shale-type source rocks identified in the core observations of Step 1 are then calibrated to the corresponding logging intervals. The logging response characteristics of the developed intervals of the thin-layered shale-type source rocks are then meticulously analyzed. By calibrating the thin-layered shale-type source rocks from the core observations onto the logging curves, the logging response characteristics of the thin-layered shale-type source rocks are clarified (the "three highs and one low" characteristics): high clay content, high natural gamma ray (GR), high sonic transit time (AC), and high compensated neutron (CNL) curves, while low deep lateral resistivity (RLLD) (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (As shown). Combining these logging response characteristics, the vertically developed sections of thin-layered shale-type source rocks in well logging can be determined based on the variation amplitude of the logging curves (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown).

[0065] The clay content ranges from 2% to 10%; the natural gamma curve ranges from 50 to 60 API; the sonic transit time curve ranges from 170 to 180 s / m; and the density curve ranges from 2.7 to 2.8 g / cm³. 3The compensated neutron curve ranges from 6 to 9 V / V; the deep lateral resistivity of thin-layered mudstone-shale type marine source rocks is lower than that of other lithologies in the top and bottom plates of thin-layered mudstone-shale type marine source rocks.

[0066] Step 3: Optimize logging parameters and establish a logging identification scale for thin-layered mudstone and shale-type source rocks in the study area.

[0067] The logging data obtained in step 2 has varying dimensions, batches, and formats, resulting in different distribution ranges for the same logging curve across different wells. Therefore, a small number of outlier data points must be pre-emptively removed to maintain overall accuracy. Secondly, all logging curves from all wells of different ages and batches in the study area must be standardized (i.e., a unified logging curve standard) to avoid drawing erroneous conclusions under different standards. This ensures that thin-layered shale-type source rocks can be clearly identified on logging curves with characteristic logging responses. Finally, based on the stratigraphic intervals where thin-layered shale-type source rocks develop, a detailed interpretation of the logging data is performed, establishing a logging identification system for thin-layered shale-type source rocks.

Figure 4 (a) is the natural gamma histogram; Figure 4 (b) is a scatter plot of natural gamma and acoustic time difference; Figure 4 (c) is a scatter plot of natural gamma and density; Figure 4 (d) is a scatter plot of natural gamma and compensated neutrons; Figure 4 (e) is a scatter plot of acoustic time difference and natural gamma; Figure 4 (f) is the acoustic time difference histogram; Figure 4 (g) is a scatter plot of acoustic time difference versus density; Figure 4 (h) is a scatter plot of acoustic time difference and compensated neutrons; Figure 4 (i) is a scatter plot of density versus natural gamma; Figure 4 (j) is a scatter plot of density versus acoustic time difference; Figure 4 (k) is the density histogram; Figure 4 (l) is a scatter plot of density versus compensated neutrons; Figure 4 (m) is a scatter plot of compensated neutrons and natural gamma rays; Figure 4 (n) is a scatter plot of the time difference between neutrons and sound waves;

Figure 4 (a) Figure 4 (b) Figure 4 (c)Figure 4 (d) Figure 4 (e) Figure 4 (f) Figure 5 (g) Figure 5 (h) Figure 5 (i) Figure 6 (j) Figure 7 (k) Figure 8 (l) Hash number (m) Shale log thickness (m) (n) Linear interpolated shale thickness (m) (o) and Relative error All logging curves in (p) have been standardized. HT2 Central African source rocks are represented by black circles or unfilled bars; shale-type source rocks are represented by black circles and black bars. A scatter histogram of logging parameter matrices is constructed using standardized logging curve data. Correlation analysis is performed on the logging parameters to derive their interrelationships. Sensitive logging parameters, namely the sensitive logging curves natural gamma curve (GR) and compensated neutron curve (CNL), are selected to establish a two-dimensional logging identification scale for the thin-layered shale-type source rocks identified in the study area, such as... JT1 As shown.

[0070] Step 4: Based on the established two-dimensional logging identification scale for thin-layer shale-type source rocks, use the logging identification scale to predict the cumulative thickness of the target thin-layer shale-type source rocks.

[0071] Based on the logging identification scale for thin-layered shale-type source rocks established in step 3, the most sensitive logging curves, namely the natural gamma ray (GR) curve and the compensated neutron (CNL) curve, are selected. The distribution ranges of GR and CNL for different layers of thin-layered shale-type source rocks vary to some extent, but the more wells analyzed, the more accurate the distribution ranges of GR and CNL for different layers become. The logging identification scale for thin-layered shale-type source rocks in the study area, established using the distribution ranges of GR and CNL for different layers, serves as the standard for logging identification of thin-layered shale-type source rocks. LT1 For the two-dimensional logging identification scale of thin-layered mudstone and shale-type source rocks in the study area, from LT2 The logging response of thin-layered shale-type source rocks shows that the distribution ranges of GR and CNL in thin-layered shale-type source rocks and non-source rocks are significantly different and can be well distinguished. Subsequently, single-well thickness prediction was carried out. Based on the logging response characteristics of thin-layered shale-type source rocks, the vertical development depth range of thin-layered shale-type source rocks was determined. The cumulative thickness of multiple thin-layered shale-type source rock sub-sections predicted for the target layer in a single well was calculated, thereby predicting the cumulative thickness of the thin-layered shale-type source rocks at the target layer. MT3As shown. By predicting the sub-layers of a single well, the cumulative thickness of the thin mudstone-shale type source rock at the target stratum is obtained by summing up each sub-layer.

[0072] Step 5: Based on the cumulative thickness of the target layer of thin mudstone-type source rocks, predict the planar distribution of the thin mudstone-type source rocks according to seismic interpretation.

[0073] By calibrating the seismic horizons and placing the wells onto the seismic profile, it was found that the seismic data resolution was low, and the single-layer thickness of the thin mudstone-shale type source rocks was small, not exceeding 10 cm. It was difficult to directly perform inversion prediction of the distribution of the thin mudstone-shale type source rocks based on wave impedance or other parameters.

[0074] Therefore, seismic stratigraphic positioning begins with determining the planar distribution of the target stratum thickness through seismic interpretation, resulting in a time-domain stratigraphic thickness map. The time-domain thickness map is then interpolated and converted into a depth-domain stratigraphic thickness map of the target stratum by fitting the actual well thickness to the time-domain thickness. The time-domain thickness map represents the planar characteristics (unit: time, not depth) predicted by seismic interpretation. A commonly used stratigraphic thickness map shows the thickness variation of a single stratigraphic unit, typically obtainable from a large amount of drilling data (unit: depth, meters). The time-domain thickness of the drilled strata in the study area can be obtained from the seismic interpretation-predicted time-domain stratigraphic thickness map, while the actual well thickness can be obtained from existing drilling data. The intersection plot of the time-domain thickness and the actual well thickness reveals their fitting relationship.

[0075] Secondly, the depth-domain stratigraphic thickness map is converted into a depth-domain thin-layer shale-type source rock thickness map. Using the cumulative thickness of the single-well shale-type source rock obtained in step 4, the depth-domain stratigraphic thickness map is interpolated and converted into a depth-domain thin-layer shale-type source rock thickness map through a linear fitting relationship between the depth-domain stratigraphic thickness and the cumulative thickness of the thin-layer shale-type source rock. Because the single-layer thickness of the thin-layer shale-type source rock is too small, the depth-domain thin-layer shale-type source rock thickness map obtained through linear fitting has a large error, as shown in Table 1. Further well-point correction is needed, and this correction should be performed on as many wells as possible to improve reliability. YY1 As shown, the linear fitting relationship can be obtained as: y = 0.0287x + 1.5828, which can convert the depth domain stratigraphic thickness map interpolation into a depth domain thin-layer mudstone and shale-type source rock thickness map (e.g., Figure 9 (As shown).

[0078] Wellpoint correction calculates the error in the thickness of thin-layered mudstone-shale source rocks in the depth domain and generates an error correction surface plot (e.g., ...). YY1 (as shown);

[0079] Finally, using the thickness map and error correction surface map of the thin-layered mudstone and shale-type source rocks in the depth domain, a planar map of the thin-layered mudstone and shale-type source rocks in the depth domain is generated, thus obtaining the planar distribution range of the thin-layered mudstone and shale-type source rocks in the study area (e.g., ​ (As shown in Table 2). The corrected depth domain planar map of thin-layered mudstone and shale source rocks shows a high degree of agreement with the actual drilling results. The error per well does not exceed 6%. For this type of thin-layered mudstone and shale source rock with a small single-layer thickness, the predicted planar distribution is highly reliable.
