英文摘要 | The mudrock log-derived compaction curve is a significant tool for investigating the primary migration of hydrocarbon, predicting fluid overpressure, estimating formation erosion thicknesses and restoring the buried history and paleo-structure of a basin. However, the presence of kerogen in organic-rich shales can create typically high logging values of the acoustic transit time. Thus, the abnormally high values of the acoustic transit time for organic-rich rocks may not truly reflect the porosity variations of subsurface rocks, leading to great uncertainties in the understanding of the mudstone compaction and a certain amount of error in the abnormal fluid pressure estimation when using the mudrock log-derived compaction curve. Therefore, it is necessary to recalibrate the mudstone compaction curve by eliminating the increment of the acoustic transit time caused by the kerogen content of organic-rich mud stones. Taking the southwest Ordos Basin as an example, this paper presents a new equivalent volume model based on the composition of organic-rich shale in which the kerogen content is also considered. Based on the quantitative relationship between the rock composition and the acoustic transit time, a quantitative formula for calculating the acoustic transit time increment caused by the kerogen is derived. This formula shows that the increment depends not only on the organic content but also on the occurrence state, pore size, pore fluid composition and other factors. X-ray diffraction (XRD) data were used to determine the main mineral composition of the mudstone and to calculate the acoustic transit time of the rock skeleton. Then, the mudstone compaction curve in the Zhenjing area was calibrated by combining the measured porosity and total organic carbon (TOC) of the mudstone based on the correction formula. The compaction characteristics varied significantly between before and after the calibration. The slope of the normal compaction trend (NCT) line decreased by 30-55%, and the acoustic transit time deviation from the NCT in the undercompaction interval decreased significantly. The overpressure at the maximum burial depth estimated by the equivalent depth method is in better agreement with the results obtained by numerical simulation after the calibration, and the porosity determined from the well log after the calibration is also closer to the true measured value. The method proposed in this paper is of great significance for improving the reliability and accuracy of compaction research on organic-rich mudstones, especially for the accurate estimation of abnormal pressure in the source rock layer. Additionally, it can be used as an effective reference for mudstone compaction studies in similar geological settings areas or basins. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
