  • Publication number: 20230220755
    Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for predicting oil and gas yields in in-situ oil shale exploitation, the method includes: acquiring an original TOC value, a Ro value and an original HI value of a shale to be measured; and obtaining oil and gas yields in in-situ exploitation of the shale based on the original TOC value, Ro value, original HI value thereof and pre-established models for predicting oil and gas yields in in-situ oil shale exploitation, the models are pre-established based on oil and gas yield data obtained by performing a thermal simulation experiment on a plurality of different shale samples, and the original TOC value, Ro value and original HI value thereof. The above technical solution achieves a quantitative prediction of oil and gas yields in in-situ oil shale exploitation, and improves the accuracy and efficiency of prediction of oil and gas yields in in-situ oil shale exploitation.
