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: A method and apparatus for evaluating volumes of discharged hydrocarbon and externally charged hydrocarbon in a mud shale. The method comprises: determining a hydrogen index and a current hydrocarbon generation potential parameter of a mud shale in target block based on total organic carbon test data and pyrolysis analysis test data of the mud shale; determining an original hydrogen index of the mud shale based on the hydrogen index and the pyrolysis analysis test data; and evaluating a volume of discharged hydrocarbon and a volume of externally charged hydrocarbon in the mud shale based on the current hydrocarbon generation potential parameter and the original hydrogen index.
