The invention discloses an excavation effect quantitative characterization and gas-bearing evaluation method for a compact sandstone low-resistance reservoir, belongs to the technical field of geophysical well logging evaluation, breaks through the difficulty that the excavation effect can only be qualitatively described for a long time, and solves the problems that in the prior art, the gas-bearing property evaluation effect of the compact sandstone low-resistance reservoir is not ideal, and the evaluation precision is difficult to meet the production requirements. The excavation effect quantitative characterization method for the compact sandstone low-resistance reservoir mainly comprises the steps that: the total hydrogen index Hgt of gaseous hydrocarbon is calculated according to gas logging data, and the shale content Vsh, the effective porosity phi e, the water saturation Sw and the total hydrogen index HNH in a stratum are calculated according to logging data; then an excavationeffect index Hex in the stratum is calculated by utilizing the parameters Hgt, Vsh, phi e, Sw and HNH; and then the gas-bearing property of the compact sandstone low-resistance reservoir is evaluatedaccording to Hex. According to the method, qualitative description to quantitative characterization of the excavation effect phenomenon is achieved, the precision and reliability problems of evaluation of the gas-bearing property of the compact sandstone low-resistance reservoir are solved, and a good application effect is achieved in Jinhua-Qiulin block jurassic Shaximiao formation.
