The invention provides a method for preferably selecting a
shale gas structure storage favorable area not based on formation pressure. The method comprises the steps that a target research area is selected, and a core exploration target layer series is determined; on the basis of a target stratum
shale gas preservation mechanism, core parameters independent of stratum
pressure data are screened, and a comprehensive evaluation
index system containing target stratum self-sealing performance, regional cover stratum conditions and
structural transformation action parameters is constructed;
spatial distribution analysis is carried out on each parameter, grading is carried out according to geological laws and adjacent region experience, and weight coefficients are distributed according to the influence degree of the parameters on storage conditions; obtaining a comprehensive
score of the structure storage condition of each evaluation unit through grade assignment and weighted stacking calculation; and delineating a
shale gas structure storage favorable area according to the comprehensive
score. The method is suitable for low-exploration-degree areas with complex structures, sparse drilling wells or lack of formation
pressure data, and has the advantages of
objective evaluation, high
operability and high practical value.
