Description

The pore structure of shale oil reservoir is complex, and the shale cores are hard to acquire. Accurately characterizing the pore structure of shale reservoir is the key to study the fluid seepage law in shale reservoir. Based on the three-dimensional focused ion beam scanning (3D-FIB-SEM) images of real shale cores, the structure of the original generative adversarial network model is redesigned. At the same time, to ensure that the reconstruction results can fully reflect the pore structure information of the shale core, the size of the training sample is increased, and the model is trained to generate three-dimensional shale digital rock. The porosity of the reconstructed digital rock and the original core are compared, and the pore network model is extracted from the reconstructed digital rock, then the pore structure properties are analyzed. The porosity, pore and throat sizes, connectivity, and coordination relationship of the reconstructed digital rock are highly in agreement with the original cores, which verifies that the generative model can generate high-quality three-dimensional shale digital rock. Finally, several digital rocks are generated, and the mean value and variation range of various pore structure parameters are calculated. It is proved that the generated digital rocks have stable pore space characteristics, and the trained generative model has good stability.
