This invention discloses a method and apparatus for shale rock physical modeling. The method includes: determining a maturity index curve based on
kerogen maturity correlation curves; determining the density,
bulk modulus, and
shear modulus curves of
kerogen based on discrete data of
kerogen modulus and the maturity index curve; determining the
porosity curves of organic and inorganic matter based on the adsorbed gas and
free gas content curves and the maturity index and density curves of kerogen; determining the dry
rock density, P-wave and S-wave velocities, and
shear modulus curves based on the density,
bulk modulus, and
shear modulus curves of kerogen,
clay minerals, and other minerals, as well as the total
porosity curve, and the
porosity curves of organic and inorganic matter; and determining a shale rock
physical model based on the dry
rock density, P-wave and S-wave velocities, and shear modulus curves, and the
bulk modulus and density curves of the mixed fluid. This method enables the reasonable establishment of a shale rock
physical model based on the changes in
organic matter during the
maturation process.
