Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of unconventional natural gas geological exploration technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for quantitative evaluation of deep coal and rock gas reservoir space. Background Technology
[0002] The reservoir space of coalbed methane has a significant impact on the adsorption, porosity, and permeability of coal and the occurrence state of coalbed methane. It also affects the permeability and production characteristics of coal reservoirs to a certain extent. Shallow coalbed methane is mainly stored in the pores of the coal matrix in an adsorbed state. In deep coalbed methane reservoirs, the proportion of adsorbed gas decreases and the proportion of free gas increases. The reservoir space of adsorbed gas is mainly controlled by the porosity of the coal matrix, while the reservoir space of free gas is mainly controlled by the microfractures in the coal matrix. Microfractures include endogenous fractures (cleavages) and exogenous fractures. Moreover, complex superimposed basins have often undergone strong tectonic modification, making the reservoir space of deep coalbed methane in the basin more complex. Exogenous fractures and endogenous fractures become connected and overlap, the degree of fracture development increases, and the pore structure and its distribution vary greatly, which increases the difficulty of quantitatively evaluating the reservoir space of deep coalbed methane in complex superimposed basins.
[0003] Currently, carbon dioxide adsorption and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption methods are used to characterize the micropores of coal and rock. However, these gas adsorption methods require sample pulverization, causing some damage and disruption to the microporous structure. Furthermore, these methods cannot statistically analyze "closed pore" information. In addition, gas adsorption experiments must be conducted under low-temperature conditions, making it difficult to maintain consistent measurement conditions with other tests, thus affecting the accuracy of quantitative characterization of pore space. Visual characterization methods for the microfracture space of deep coal and rock free gas reservoirs mainly include stereomicroscopy and micron-scale CT scanning. Stereomicroscopy can characterize the width and distribution of microfractures, but it can only observe local information of the sample and cannot characterize the spatial distribution pattern. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can quantitatively evaluate the deep coal and rock gas reservoir space in complex superimposed basins. Summary of the Invention

[0063] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention provide a terminal device, including: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the quantitative evaluation method for coal and rock gas storage space as described above.
[0064] The beneficial effects of the above-described technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention include at least the following:
[0065] The quantitative evaluation method for deep coal and gas reservoir space provided in this invention measure the volume percentage of pores in different pore diameter ranges. Specifically, the second pore diameter range partially overlaps with the first pore diameter range, and the third pore diameter range partially overlaps with the second pore diameter range, while the first and third pore diameter ranges do not overlap. For these two overlapping ranges, the volume percentage of pores is recalculated, resulting in the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth volume percentages for different pore diameter ranges without overlap. This achieves a microscopic quantitative evaluation of the reservoir space of the target reservoir. Furthermore, by measuring the average opening of fractures longer than a preset length, a quantitative evaluation of fractures is achieved, characterizing their spatial distribution and enabling precise three-dimensional visualization and quantitative characterization. Additionally, by calculating the cleavage porosity and development zone density, quantitative evaluation of fracture porosity and fracture development zones is achieved. This invention combines quantitative characterization of pore structure with quantitative characterization of fractures, ultimately achieving a quantitative characterization of deep coal and gas reservoir space in complex superimposed basins.
[0066] This invention utilizes scattering geometry to obtain the curve of the relationship between the scattering intensity and the scattering angle of the sample. By solving the curve of scattering intensity and scattering angle, the first volume percentage is obtained. This eliminates the need to crush the sample, avoiding damage to the microporous structure. It can also record the scattering information of micro-"open pores" in coal. Compared with the existing technology that uses the fluid intrusion method, this invention can also measure "closed pore" information, more accurately and quantitatively characterizing the pore storage space of coal.
[0067] To address the problem of quantitative planar evaluation of fractured reservoir space in deep coal and rock reservoirs in complex superimposed basins, this invention is based on a dual-lateral resistivity logging evaluation method. It calculates porosity to achieve the evaluation objective. Furthermore, it utilizes the variation of seismic P-wave amplitude and velocity with azimuth angle to detect fracture location and density, statistically analyzes the geometry, frequency, energy variation rate, and various seismic attributes of the seismic waves, and quantitatively calculates the density of fracture development zones to characterize the coal and rock gas reservoir space. This enables a macroscopic quantitative evaluation of the target reservoir's reservoir space.

[0080] To address the problem of the inability to quantitatively evaluate deep coal and rock gas reservoir space in existing technologies, embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for quantitatively evaluating deep coal and rock gas reservoir space.
[0081] Example 1
[0082] This invention provides a method for quantitatively evaluating deep coal and rock gas reservoir space, the process of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0083] Step S101: Measure the volume percentage of pores in the target reservoir whose diameter is within the first pore diameter range to obtain the first volume percentage;
[0084] Step S102: Measure the volume percentage of pores in the target reservoir whose inner diameter is located within the second pore diameter range to obtain the second volume percentage; the second pore diameter range partially overlaps with the first pore diameter range, and the maximum value of the second pore diameter range is greater than the maximum value of the first pore diameter range;
[0085] Step S103: Measure the volume percentage of pores in the target reservoir whose inner diameter is located in the third pore diameter interval to obtain the third volume percentage; the third pore diameter interval partially overlaps with the second pore diameter interval, the third pore diameter interval does not overlap with the first pore diameter interval, and the maximum value of the third pore diameter interval is greater than the maximum value of the second pore diameter interval.
[0086] Step S104: Based on the first volume percentage and the second volume percentage, calculate the fourth volume percentage, which represents the volume percentage of pores whose diameters are located in the overlapping part of the second pore diameter range and the first pore diameter range.
[0087] Step S105: Based on the second volume percentage and the third volume percentage, calculate the fifth volume percentage, which represents the volume percentage of pores whose diameters are located in the overlapping part of the third pore diameter range and the second pore diameter range.
[0088] Step S106: Measure the average opening of fractures with a length greater than a preset length within the target reservoir;
[0089] Step S107: Calculate the cleavage porosity value of the target reservoir;
[0090] Step S108: Calculate the development zone density of the target reservoir;
[0091] Step S109: Quantitatively evaluate the reservoir space of the target reservoir based on the first volume percentage, second volume percentage, third volume percentage, fourth volume percentage, fifth volume percentage, average opening, cleavage porosity value and development zone density.
[0092] Schematic diagram of storage space (reference) Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This diagram illustrates the pore and fracture structure in deep coal-rock gas reservoirs, showing the intermingling of fractures and pores, with the proportion of free gas in microfractures being higher than that in pores.
[0093] In some optional embodiments, step S101 above is referred to Figure 3 As shown, this can be achieved through the following steps:
[0094] Step S201: Take samples from the target reservoir according to the preset size, dry the samples, and obtain the scattering images of all samples after drying.
[0095] Specifically, several samples of the same size are prepared from the target reservoir. For example, to facilitate small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) testing, samples with a cross-section of 1 cm are prepared. 2 Several sheet-like samples with a thickness of 1 mm were placed in a sample container and heated in a vacuum environment at 150℃ for 4 hours to remove moisture from the samples and prevent moisture from affecting light scattering, thereby improving the accuracy of the test. After heating, the samples were cooled to room temperature, and the coal scattering image of each sample was measured using a two-dimensional imaging plate detector. The coal scattering image characterizes the change in the intensity of scattered light from the sample with the scattering angle.
[0096] Step S202: Based on the scattering geometry, obtain the curve of scattering intensity versus scattering angle corresponding to the scattering image, solve the curve of scattering intensity versus scattering angle, and obtain the first volume percentage.
[0097] After obtaining the coal sample scattering image, the SR-SAXS software is used to perform data analysis on all the coal sample scattering images to obtain the initial scattering curve. Then, based on the scattering geometry, the initial scattering curve is converted into the corresponding relationship curve I(q) between the scattering intensity and the scattering angle (also called the scattering vector) q, as shown in the following formula (1):
[0098]
[0099] In equation (1) above, I is the scattering intensity (also called relative intensity); q is the scattering vector; I e For a single electron, N is the relative intensity; for each level, N is the number of particles; for each level, v is the electron density; for each level, V is the particle volume; and for each level, R is the particle volume. G The radius of gyration of the particle is the root mean square of the distances between all electrons of the particle and its center of mass.
[0100] By using the stepwise tangent method to solve formula (1), we obtain the following formula (2):
[0101]
[0102] In equation (2) above, n is the number of electrons in a particle, i represents the i-th size level, and R i N represents the gyroscopic radius of the particle at the i-th level. i Let be the number of particles at the i-th size level. Other parameters in the formula have been explained above and will not be repeated here in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0103] Based on the explanations of formulas (1) and (2) above, it can be understood that [R1…Ri Take the average value to obtain R G ;
[0104] Based on formula (2), define K i The volume distribution characterizing the scattering intensity of the i-th level particles; when q = 0 in the scattering intensity, we can obtain from formula (2):
[0105] I(0) = K1 + K2 + ... + K i (3)
[0106] Define W i Let W1 be the volume percentage for the i-th size level, then: W1: W2: ...: ...: (4)
[0107] Right now Therefore, the Iq curve is decomposed stepwise by the Jellinek tangent method, and a series of radii of gyration R are calculated from the series of slopes obtained. G Then, the radius of gyration R is obtained. G The volume percentage W of particles i (R G The specific calculation steps are as follows:
[0108] Pick: Taking the logarithm of both sides of the equation, we get:
[0109]
[0110] Then plot ln(I) as the ordinate and q2 as the abscissa, and use the slope to determine the slope. R can be obtained G The value of I can be obtained from the intercept K. e Nn 2 The value of R G Substituting R into formula (5) i , will I e Nn 2 Substituting K into formula (5) i Find W i The value of is the first volume percentage.
[0111] By observing a large number of samples using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), the pore structure of coal and rock with diameters within the first pore diameter range (0 nm - 100 nm) can be observed. In other words, SAXS can characterize the micropore structure in the target reservoir. Compared with existing techniques that characterize micropores through gas adsorption methods (such as carbon dioxide adsorption and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption), SAXS does not require sample pulverization, thus avoiding damage to the micropore structure. SAXS can also record micro-open-pore scattering information. In addition, it can measure "closed-pore" information that cannot be measured using fluid intrusion methods, enabling a more accurate quantitative characterization of the pore storage space of coal and rock.
[0112] The principle of small-angle scattering test is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0113] In some optional embodiments, the second pore diameter range is [50nm, 2000nm], and the pores in this range are called macropores. In step S102 above, the distribution of macropores is determined by high pressure mercury intrusion testing. Specifically, the sample is loaded into a sample tube, and vacuum sealing grease is evenly applied to the sandblasted opening of the sample tube. The inside of the sample tube is evacuated to a vacuum state and heated at 105°C for more than 12 hours. It should be noted that since the sample observed by small angle scattering method in step S101 does not damage the pore structure of the sample, in step S102, the sample in step S101 can be used directly, or several samples can be re-prepared from the target reservoir.
[0114] Using a high-pressure mercury intrusion porosimetry device, an initial pressure is applied to the inside of the heated sample tube to allow mercury to enter the pores of the sample. The initial and final pressures are determined based on the minimum pressure at which the sample can adsorb mercury and the minimum pressure at which it cannot adsorb mercury. During the pressurization process, the Lucas-Washburn equation is used to represent the relationship between pore diameter and pressure. The Washburn equation is shown below:
[0115] P = (-4γcosθ) / d; (7)
[0116] In the above formula (7), P is the pressure acting on the liquid surface, γ is the surface tension of mercury, which is taken as 0.48 N / m, θ is the contact angle of the wetting liquid, which is taken as 140°, and d is the pore diameter.
[0117] Based on the relationship between pressure and pore diameter, the pore distribution with diameter in the second pore diameter range can be obtained. Then, through the pore distribution with diameter in the second pore diameter range, the volume percentage of each level of pores in the range of [50nm, 2000nm] can be obtained, which is the second volume percentage.
[0118] As can be seen from the aforementioned ranges of the first and second pore diameter intervals, there is an overlap between them, and the overlap interval is [50nm-100nm]. In other words, both the small-angle scattering (SAS) and high-pressure mercury intrusion porosimetry methods measured the pore distribution within the [50nm-100nm] diameter range. To make the pore volume percentage results more accurate, the inventors of this invention used a weighted average of the two volume percentage results obtained from the overlap interval to obtain the pore volume percentage of the overlap interval, i.e., the fourth volume percentage. Specifically, the method for calculating the fourth volume percentage is as follows:
[0119] Based on the first volume percentage and the second volume percentage, and the preset first weighting coefficient and second weighting coefficient, the fourth volume percentage is calculated using the following formula:
[0120]
[0121] In equation (8) above, V1 represents the fourth volume percentage; f1 represents the first volume percentage; f1 represents the first weighting coefficient; V2 represents the second volume percentage; f2 represents the second weighting coefficient.
[0122] The first weighting coefficient represents the proportion of pores whose diameters are located in the overlapping portion of the second pore diameter range and the first pore diameter range, out of the total pores whose diameters are located in the first pore diameter range; the second weighting coefficient represents the proportion of pores whose diameters are located in the overlapping portion of the second pore diameter range and the first pore diameter range, out of the total pores whose diameters are located in the second pore diameter range.
[0123] In other words, the result of f1+f2 is not necessarily 1. Within the overlapping range of [50nm-100nm], the weighting coefficient of the first volume percentage measured by the small angle scattering test method decreases from 100% to 0% for the pore volume data within this overlapping range, while the weighting coefficient of the second volume percentage measured by the high pressure mercury intrusion test method increases from 0% to 100% for the pore volume data within this overlapping range.
[0124] In some optional embodiments, the diameter range of the third pore is [1μm~200μm]. Pores in this range can also be called microcracks. In step S103 above, the distribution of microcracks is determined using micron-scale CT scanning technology. Specifically, several samples are re-prepared from the target reservoir. The prepared samples are fixed in the center of the CT machine's turntable, and the height of the samples is adjusted to fix them in the center of the scanning area. For each sample, the turntable is rotated 0.9° during scanning, and one scan is performed to obtain a two-dimensional CT slice. The turntable is rotated multiple times to obtain multiple two-dimensional CT slices for each sample. The median filtering algorithm is used to denoise each obtained two-dimensional CT slice. The denoised two-dimensional CT slices are then input into visualization processing software (AVIZO software can be selected). The denoising process makes the two-dimensional CT slices clearer. In addition, To facilitate the analysis of 2D CT slices using AVIZO software, the denoised 2D CT slices can be optionally cropped, and then input into the AVIZO software. AVIZO employs the AVIZO watershed algorithm, analyzing multiple 2D CT slices of each sample to perform 3D reconstruction for each sample. In other words, the 3D reconstruction process is as follows: For each sample, the microcrack structure of the sample is constructed from multiple 2D CT slices taken from different angles; AVIZO analyzes multiple 2D CT slice images of the sample to obtain the porosity of each sample, which is in the form of a binary image. For each sample, based on multiple binary images, a stereo rendering is performed to obtain the geometric model of the pore space corresponding to the sample.
[0125] The sample is scanned using micron-scale CT scanning technology. Each sample needs to be rotated multiple times, and a scan is performed once for each rotation to obtain a two-dimensional CT slice. Although the more times the CT slice is scanned, the more accurate the two-dimensional CT slice is, the sample cannot be scanned indefinitely. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention set a threshold to limit the number of scans for each sample.
[0126] To make the threshold setting more accurate, the porosity calculated by AVIZO software under different thresholds can be compared and analyzed with the porosity measured by micron CT scanning technology. Based on the analysis results, a reasonable threshold can be determined.
[0127] As can be seen from the aforementioned ranges of the second and third pore diameter intervals, there is an overlap between them, and the overlap interval is [1000nm-2000nm]. In other words, both the high-pressure mercury intrusion method and the micron-scale CT scanning method have measured the pore distribution with diameters in the [1000nm-2000nm] range. To make the pore volume percentage results more accurate, the inventors of this invention have used a weighted processing method on the two volume percentage results obtained from the overlap portion to obtain the pore volume percentage of the overlap portion, i.e., the fifth volume percentage. Specifically, the method for calculating the fifth volume percentage is as follows:
[0128] Based on the second and third volume percentages, and the preset third and fourth weighting coefficients, the fifth volume percentage is calculated using the following formula:
[0129]
[0130] In the above formula (9), V1 represents the fourth volume percentage; V2 represents the second volume percentage; f3 represents the third weighting coefficient; V3 represents the third volume percentage; f4 represents the fourth weighting coefficient;
[0131] The third weighting coefficient represents the proportion of pores whose diameters are located in the overlapping portion of the third pore diameter range and the second pore diameter range, out of the pores whose diameters are located in the second pore diameter range; the fourth weighting coefficient represents the proportion of pores whose diameters are located in the overlapping portion of the third pore diameter range and the second pore diameter range, out of the pores whose diameters are located in the third pore diameter range.
[0132] In some optional embodiments, step S106 above can be implemented in the following manner:
[0133] Several samples with dimensions of 50mm × 50mm were prepared from the target reservoir along the bedding direction. A stereomicroscope was used to photograph the fractures in three mutually perpendicular sections of each sample at a magnification of 10x. Each image was then processed and fracture extracted using ImageJ software, resulting in clearer images of the three mutually perpendicular sections of each sample. Cropping of the image edges was also possible. The images were then imported into Image-Pro Plus software, and the grayscale threshold range was adjusted to perform binarization on each image, yielding the total fracture area in each image. The fractures were then skeletonized to determine their total length. The total fracture area divided by the total fracture length was used as the average fracture opening.
[0134] In some alternative embodiments, reference is made to Figure 5 As shown, step S107 above can be implemented in the following way:
[0135] Step S501: Obtain the deep lateral resistivity curve and the shallow lateral resistivity curve;
[0136] Step S501: Based on the deep lateral resistivity curve and the shallow lateral resistivity curve, calculate the cleavage porosity value using the following formula:
[0137]
[0138] In equation (10) above, Φ f The porosity of the formation fracture is expressed in m. f R is the crack bonding index. m R is the resistivity of the drilling fluid filtrate. LLS and R LLD These are the shallow lateral resistivity and deep lateral resistivity of the formation, respectively.
[0139] In some optional embodiments, step S108 above can be implemented in the following manner:
[0140] The azimuth anisotropy characteristics of P-wave seismic attributes are obtained. Based on the azimuth anisotropy characteristics of P-wave seismic attributes and the orientation angle data of P-wave excitation direction relative to fracture strike, the pre-constructed azimuth anisotropy equation is solved.
[0141] The equations for azimuth anisotropy are shown below:
[0142] F(α)=A+Bcos 2α;(11)
[0143] In equation (11) above, α represents the orientation angle of the P-wave excitation direction relative to the fracture strike; A represents the offset factor related to the offset distance; B represents the modulation factor related to the offset distance and fracture characteristics; F(α) is the azimuth anisotropy characteristic of the P-wave seismic properties.
[0144] The density of the fracture development zone is calculated based on the values of the offset factor related to the offset distance and the modulation factor related to the offset distance and fracture characteristics. Specifically, the density of the fracture development zone is quantitatively calculated through the proportional relationship between the B / A value and the fracture density.
[0145] In some optional embodiments, the reservoir space of the target reservoir is quantitatively evaluated based on a first volume percentage, a second volume percentage, a third volume percentage, a fourth volume percentage, a fifth volume percentage, an average aperture, a cleavage porosity value, and a development zone density, including:
[0146] (1) Quantitatively evaluate the pore structure of the target reservoir using the first volume percentage, second volume percentage, third volume percentage, fourth volume percentage, and fifth volume percentage;
[0147] (2) Quantitatively evaluate the fracture structure of the target reservoir by average opening degree;
[0148] (3) Quantitatively evaluate the porosity of the target reservoir by using the cleavage porosity value;
[0149] (4) Quantitatively evaluate the development zone structure of the target reservoir by development zone density.
[0150] Based on the process of steps S101-S109 and combined with geophysical characterization methods, the embodiments of the present invention can obtain a quantitative evaluation method for deep coal and gas reservoir space in complex superimposed basins, as shown in Table 1 below. As can be seen from Table 1, small-angle scattering test, weighted processing of repeated intervals [50nm~100nm], high-pressure mercury injection test, and weighted processing of repeated intervals [1000nm~2000nm] can characterize reservoir pore space. Micron-scale CT scanning test can characterize both reservoir pore space and reservoir fracture space. Stereomicroscopy, dual-lateral resistivity model, and seismic P-wave azimuth / angle information characterize reservoir fracture space.

[0154] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a specific implementation process of a quantitative evaluation method for deep coal and rock gas reservoir space, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that the process of calculating the density of the development zone in step S108 is different.
[0155] In some optional embodiments, azimuth anisotropy (AVO) and AVO techniques are fused, and the use of P-wave azimuth and angular information is more conducive to coal seam lithology analysis. Therefore, before solving the azimuth anisotropy equation, the azimuth anisotropy and AVO techniques need to be fused. Specifically, refer to... Figure 6 As shown, this can be achieved in the following way:
[0156] Step S601: Extract data from N azimuth gathers from the profile of the target reservoir, process the data of the N azimuth gathers to obtain the corresponding azimuth migration data volumes; the azimuth migration data volumes include the values of seismic attributes such as amplitude, velocity, and frequency;
[0157] Step S602: From N azimuth gathers, extract data from M azimuth / angle gathers according to a preset incident angle range. For the data from the M azimuth / angle gathers, obtain the corresponding azimuth / angle data volumes respectively. The azimuth / angle data volumes include the values of seismic attributes such as amplitude, velocity, and frequency.
[0158] Step S603: Based on N azimuth migration data volumes and M azimuth / angle data volumes, obtain seismic attribute parameter data related to fracture density; there are multiple seismic attribute parameters; seismic attribute parameters include, but are not limited to, amplitude, velocity, and frequency;
[0159] Step S604: Using seismic attribute fusion technology, normalize the data of each seismic attribute parameter to obtain the azimuth anisotropy characteristics of the fused seismic attributes.
[0160] Specifically, seismic attribute fusion is performed using the following formula:
[0161] Y = a1y1 + a2y2 + a3y3 + ...; (12)
[0162] In equation (12) above, a1, a2, and a3 are the weights of the earthquake attributes; y1, y2, and y3 are the values of the earthquake attributes.
[0163] Accordingly, the solution of the azimuth anisotropy equation is based on the azimuth anisotropy characteristics of the fused seismic attributes. That is, the azimuth anisotropy characteristics of the fused seismic attributes calculated based on formula (12) are input into the above formula (11), and formula (11) is solved.
