Abstract
Shale gas, as an important component of unconventional natural gas, plays a crucial role in resource development. This paper proposes a comprehensive analytical method that combines field analysis and well logging interpretation to evaluate gas content in shale reservoirs. Core analysis experiments are conducted to obtain microscopic gas content data, and well logging parameters are calibrated and extended to reveal vertical and lateral distribution characteristics of the reservoir. In the analysis of typical wells in the study area, it is found that gas content in shale gas reservoirs is significantly influenced by total organic carbon (TOC) content, mineral composition, and pore characteristics. Micro-pores and meso-pores mainly store adsorbed gas, while macro-pores and micro-fractures are the primary storage space for free gas. The content of clay minerals significantly suppresses the total gas content and free gas volume, while quartz and TOC content enhance the gas storage capacity of the reservoir. The comprehensive analytical method proposed in this paper overcomes the limitations of single methods and establishes a framework for evaluating gas content in shale gas reservoirs from microscopic to macroscopic scales, providing a scientific basis for resource potential assessment and development planning.
期刊介绍:
Energy Science & Engineering is a peer reviewed, open access journal dedicated to fundamental and applied research on energy and supply and use. Published as a co-operative venture of Wiley and SCI (Society of Chemical Industry), the journal offers authors a fast route to publication and the ability to share their research with the widest possible audience of scientists, professionals and other interested people across the globe. Securing an affordable and low carbon energy supply is a critical challenge of the 21st century and the solutions will require collaboration between scientists and engineers worldwide. This new journal aims to facilitate collaboration and spark innovation in energy research and development. Due to the importance of this topic to society and economic development the journal will give priority to quality research papers that are accessible to a broad readership and discuss sustainable, state-of-the art approaches to shaping the future of energy. This multidisciplinary journal will appeal to all researchers and professionals working in any area of energy in academia, industry or government, including scientists, engineers, consultants, policy-makers, government officials, economists and corporate organisations.
