Abstract：
Oil and gas exploration in lacustrine mud shale has focused on laminated calcareous lithofacies rich in type I or type II1 organic matter, taking into account the mineralogy and bedding structure, and type and abundance of organic matter. Using the lower third member of the Shahejie Formation, Zhanhua Sag, Jiyang Depression as the target lithology, we applied core description, thin section observations, electron microscopy imaging, nuclear magnetic resonance, and fullbore formation microimager (FMI) to study the mud shale lithofacies and features. First, the lithofacies were classified by considering the bedding structure, lithology, and organic matter and then a lithofacies classification scheme of lacustrine mud shale was proposed. Second, we used optimal filtering of logging data to distinguish the lithologies. Because the fractals of logging data are good indicators of the bedding structure, gamma-ray radiation was used to optimize the structural identification. Total organic carbon content (TOC) and pyrolyzed hydrocarbons (S2) were calculated from the logging data, and the hydrogen index (HI) was obtained to identify the organic matter type of the different strata (HI vs Tmax). Finally, a method for shale lithofacies identification based on logging data is proposed for exploring mud shale reservoirs and sweet spots from continuous wellbore profiles.
