The Effect of Hydration on Pores of Shale Oil Reservoirs in the Third Submember of the Triassic Chang 7 Member in Southern Ordos Basin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Shale oil is an unconventional kind of oil and gas resource with great potential. China has huge reserves of shale oil, and shale oil resources are abundant in the third submember of the Triassic Chang 7 member in the southern Ordos Basin. At present, this area is in the initial stage of shale oil exploration and development. The reservoir pore is one of the key factors affecting oil accumulation, drilling safety, and oil production. It is also an important reservoir parameter that must be defined in the exploration stage. In general, the clay content in the shale section is high, and is prone to hydration. In order to study the effect of fluid on the pore type, structure, and distribution of shale oil reservoirs, experiments using X-ray diffraction, a porosity–permeability test, mercury porosimetry, rock casting thin section, and scanning electron microscopy were carried out. The experimental results show that the content of clay and quartz is very high in the studied formation. The pore porosity and permeability of the rock is highly heterogeneous because of the obvious stratigraphic bedding and interbeds. Microstructural observation of rocks shows that the main pore types are intergranular pores, intragranular pores, intercrystalline pores, and organic pores. Crack types are dissolution cracks, contraction cracks of organic matter, and abnormal pressure structural cracks. After hydration, the porosity of rock will increase in varying degrees, and pore size, pore content in different sizes, and pore structure will also change. The results show that the pores of tuff mainly changes at the initial stage of hydration, and the pore change of tuff is the most obvious within 6 hours of soaking in clear water. The influence of hydration on the pore of shale is greater than that of tuff, but the main change stage is later than tuff, and the pore change of shale is the most obvious within 12 to 24 hours of soaking in clear water. The soaking experiment of water-based drilling fluid (WBM-SL) shows that it can plug a certain size of holes and cracks and form a protective layer on the rock surface, thus effectively reducing hydration. In actual construction, multisized solid particles should be allocated in drilling fluid according to the formation pore’s characteristics, and the stability of the protective layer should be guaranteed. This can reduce the accident of well leakage and collapse and is conducive to the efficient and safe development of shale oil.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
