Abstract: A quantitative prediction method for gas content of deep marine shale includes: obtaining raw data of known wells; establishing relationship formulas between pore specific surface areas and adsorbed gas contents of a known well in an area as an adsorbed gas content quantitative prediction model; establishing relationship formulas between pore volumes and free gas contents of the known well as a free gas content quantitative prediction model; summing the adsorbed gas contents and corresponding free gas contents to obtain total gas contents; calculating adsorbed gas contents, free gas contents and total gas contents of the known wells; drawing a predicted adsorbed gas content contour map, a predicted free gas content contour map and a predicted total gas content contour map; and reading an adsorbed gas content, a free gas content and a total gas content of an unknown well in the area from the above contour maps.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a particle size statistical method of granular minerals of shale, comprising: collecting shale samples; cutting the collected samples into the size of 1 cm×1 cm×1 cm; performing argon ion polishing; magnifying the samples by the field emission scanning electron microscopy, collecting 500-1000 images; using Adobe Photoshop to seamlessly splice the collected images; using ImageJ in combination with EDS energy spectrum to determine types of mineral particles, performing background subtraction, and setting a reasonable grayscale threshold to classify the particle minerals; performing binary processing on the images of selected mineral particle types; identifying edges of granular minerals, and using a Analyze Particles command to statistically analyze and measure particle sizes, and drawing a particle size distribution histogram.
