  • Publication number: 20240044823
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of unconventional oil and gas geology. It discloses a method and a system for quantitatively evaluating the sealing property of shale systems. Utilizing optical microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy, the present invention quantifies a bitumen content and pore structure parameters in a shale reservoir following qualitative identification. It classifies shale formations into four sealing types: early-stage closed and late-stage closed, early-stage closed and late-stage open, early-stage open and late-stage closed, and early-stage open and late-stage open. This classification is of significance for accurately evaluating shale preservation conditions and exploration potential. The present invention verifies the evaluations of sealing property of the shale systems by virtue of the measured formation pressures and the actual production data from shale gas wells, and is conferred with improved scientific rigor by judgment and comparison.
