Abstract
The Sichuan Basin is a significant region for exploration and development of shale gas in China, and it is essential to clarify the impact of deep shale gas reservoir parameters on cost-effective development at scale to ensure national energy security. Rock physics modeling is a significant means of communicating the physical and elastic parameters of rocks. A rock physics modeling method applicable to fractured shale gas reservoirs is proposed for the current situation of complex fluid relationships in shale gas reservoirs and unclear characteristics of gas identification seismic response. In this paper, based on the Self Consistent Approximation (SCA) model and the differential effective medium (DEM) model, the anisotropic source of shale is used as a starting point to add bound water, kerogen, clay, and brittle minerals, the Schoenberg linear slip theory is used to add fracture disturbance effects, and then the Brown–Korringa model is used to perform fluid replacement under anisotropic conditions. Finally a rock physics model applicable to fractured shale gas reservoirs is obtained, and the established rock physics model is used for analysis of elastic parameters, Thomsen parameters, and fracture weakness parameters. Rock physics tests were performed on shale in southern Sichuan as an example. The experimental results show that the model established by the process can accurately invert the longitudinal and transverse wave velocities of the shale, which can provide a conceptual basis for the study of fractured shale gas reservoirs.
