Abstract

The evaluation methods for shale gas resources and the key parameters involved are diverse. The main research object of this article is the key parameters in shale gas resource evaluation, and this study aims to quantitatively evaluate the required key parameters for calculation, thereby improving the credibility of shale gas resource evaluation results. This article mainly analyzes the weight analysis of the key parameters used in the resource evaluation process, focusing on the analysis and determination of key parameters controlling the generation, enrichment, and preservation of shale gas. The key parameters are graded and evaluated layer by layer, and the common key parameters that participate in the determination are extracted. Based on the above analysis, a weight conversion model is proposed to quantitatively evaluate the actual importance of key parameters in resource evaluation. By combining statistical research, the partial correlation coefficients in the correlation coefficients are applied to estimate the resource quantities in the exploration field in order to quantitatively evaluate the credibility of the resource evaluation results. This article focuses on the weight assignment of key parameters for calculating the resource quantity of the Jiaoshiba shale gas field in the Fuling area of Chongqing and obtains different weight results for different parameters. Using this method to assign key parameter weights to the target block can provide reliable parameter support for shale gas resource evaluation and provide strong support for shale gas resource estimation.
