Abstract

The shale oil resources in Member 2 of Kongdian Formation of Cangdong Sag, Bohai Bay Basin are abundant, but there are few studies on the reservoir characteristics, occurrence, mobility and its correlation. To this end, the argon ion polishing field emission scanning electron microscopy, neutron scattering, high pressure mercury injection and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption experiments are adopted to describe the microscopic pore structure of the shale oil reservoir in Member 2 of Kongdian Formation, to compare the difference in pore volume before and after extraction with the saturation-centrifugal NMR results, and to reveal the characteristics of shale oil occurrence and mobility. The results of the study show that in the shale oil in Member 2 of Kongdian Formation, the nanometer-sized intra-granular pores, dissolution pores, organic pores and micron-sized micro-fracture and other reservoir spaces are mainly developed; the shale oil is mainly occurred in the pores with diameters ranging from 20-40 nm and 80-200 nm; the high saturation of movable oil in the felsic shale indicates that it has better pore connectivity and seepage capacity, which is conducive to the transportation of shale oil. The mineral content and pore structure in shale reservoirs jointly control the mobility of shale oil. Pores with a pore size less than 50 nm have a larger specific surface area and have a stronger adsorption capacity for shale oil, which is not conducive to the flow of shale oil. The study results have important guidance for the exploration and development of shale oil.
