Abstract:

The shale of the upper 4th member of Shahejie Formation in the Dongying Sag, Bohai Bay Basin (Es4 U) is studied to clarify the characteristics of shale laminae and their influence on reservoir properties through organic matter analysis, thin section observation, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation, high pressure mercury intrusion experiment and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption (LTNA). The results will be of a theoretical basis to shale oil exploration and development. This shale interval (Es4 U) can be divided into four lamina units different in composition and pore feature, and consequently seven types of lamina assemblages are concluded. The assemblage of granular calcite lamina, mixed lamina and organic lamina is of the best reservoir capacity in this interval with well-developed nano- and micro- pores. Its nano-pores are mainly composed of clay-mineral intergranular pores in the mixed lamina and constricted fissures of organic matters in the granular calcite lamina; while the micro-pores are mainly composed of micro-cracks in the mixed lamina and at the boundary of the granular calcite lamina. The assemblage of micrite calcite lamina and organic lamina ranks second in terms of reservoir property. Its nano-pores are dominated by rigid mineral intergranular pores in the micrite calcite lamina, and the micro-pores by the micro-cracks formed on inter-lamina weak surfaces. Under the effect of burial compaction, clay mineral transformation, calcite recrystallization and organic acid dissolution, the lamina assemblages are different in reservoir properties.
