Abstract:

The evaluation of shale gas development area selection is an important part of shale gas development, and the effectiveness of evaluation methods is conducive to the efficient development of shale gas. Based on 9 candidate blocks of exploration and development mature and immature blocks in Fuling Shale Gas Field, the influence of different geological and engineering parameters on the evaluation of selected areas has been systematically analyzed, and the evaluation index of the blocks have been selected. Among these index, gas content, compressibility and economy are three important aspects of shale gas development area selection evaluation. Thereafter, the analytic hierarchy process and the mean square error method are used to determine the combined weight of the index, which improve the accuracy of the weight coefficients and establish an evaluation method for shale gas development area selection. The research result shows that in the process of selecting shale gas development areas, the main evaluation index are total hydrocarbon value measured by gas logging, fault development degree, formation pressure coefficient, topographic features, fracture development degree of target layer and porosity. According to the development practice in the Fuling Shale Gas Field, the evaluation results are in good agreement with the actual situation, indicating that the evaluation method for shale gas development area selection based on the improved analytic hierarchy process is feasible.

Key words: shale gas, development area selection, analytic hierarchy process, mean square deviation method, shale gas development area selection coefficient
