The invention is applicable to the technical field of
petroleum detection, and relates to a method for identifying the spatial maturity of a
petroleum inclusion, which comprises the following steps: collecting and
processing a
rock sample containing the
petroleum inclusion; placing the processed sample on a sample table of an O-PTIR instrument, setting
surface scanning parameters, performing surface-by-
surface scanning on the petroleum inclusion in the sample in the Z-axis direction, and obtaining photo-
thermal infrared spectrum images and data of different Z-axis
layers; preprocessing the photo-
thermal infrared spectrum image and data; a three-dimensional space maturity
distribution model of the petroleum inclusion is constructed, characteristic peaks related to maturity in photo-
thermal infrared spectrum images of different Z-axis
layers are analyzed, a petroleum inclusion standard spectrum
database with known maturity is combined, a quantitative relation between characteristic parameters and the maturity is established, and the maturity of the petroleum inclusion is calculated. Therefore, maturity values of the petroleum inclusion in different spatial positions are determined; and displaying the maturity information in a visual mode. According to the invention, accurate determination of the petroleum inclusion space maturity is realized.
