Abstract:

To get sufficient theoretical and experimental data for determining the lower limits of pore throat radius for movable fluids in shale reservoirs, core NMR, centrifugal, flowing and high-pressure mercury intrusion experiments were carried out on the physical characteristics of shale oil. Based on bridging theory and boundary layer theory, and combining macroscopic and microscopic analysis results, a method for determining the lower limits of pore throat radius in shale reservoirs was established. It is concluded that the lower limits of pore throat radius in the shale reservoirs of the Permian Lucaogou formation in Jimsar sag is 50 nm; the pore throats with the radius ranging from 50 nm to 500 nm are the primary contributors to movable fluids, and the contribution of the pore throats with the radius larger than 500 nm to movable fluids is less than 10%.

Key words: Jimsar sag, Lucaogou formation, shale reservoir, lower limit of pore throat radius, NMR, bridging theory, boundary layer theory, movable fluid
