Abstract

The high pressure static adsorption curves of shale samples from Silurian Changning-Weiyuan Longmaxi Formation were tested by using high pressure isothermal adsorption equipment. The physical modeling of depletion production was tested on single cores and multi-core series by using self-developed shale gas flow solid coupling experiment system. The adsorption and desorption laws were summarized and a high pressure isothermal adsorption model was established. The calculation formula of gas content was corrected, and the producing law of adsorption gas was determined. The study results show that the isothermal adsorption law of the shale reservoir under high pressure was different from the conventional low pressure. The high pressure isothermal adsorption curve had the maximum value in excess adsorption with pressure change, and the corresponding pressure was the critical desorption pressure. The high pressure isothermal curve can be used to evaluate the amount of adsorbed gas and the producing degree of adsorption gas. The high pressure isothermal adsorption model can fit and characterize the high pressure isothermal adsorption law of shale. The modified gas content calculation method can evaluate the gas content and the proportion of adsorbed gas more objectively, and is the theoretical basis of reserve assessment and production decline analysis. The producing degree of adsorption gas is closely related to the pressure, only when the reservoir pressure is lower than the critical desorption pressure, the adsorption gas can be produced effectively. In the process of gas well production, the pressure drop in the near-well area is large, the producing degree of adsorption gas is high, the adsorption gas is low in producing degree, or not produced at all, away from the wellbore.
