摘要

The fluid occurrence characteristics of lacustrine shale oil reservoirs present significant challenges for reservoir evaluation and exploration. In particular, it is difficult to determine the in-situ occurrence state of shale oil reservoir fluids because core samples often experience fluid loss during sampling and preparation. This study investigates fluid occurrence mechanisms in Yanchang Formation shale (Ordos Basin) using nuclear magnetic resonance and nitrogen adsorption tests on cores under different conditions (as-received, dried, extracted, saturated). Results reveal that lost fluids are primarily liquid hydrocarbons, with the sum of lost fluid and residual movable oil (T2O) showing a strong linear correlation with the movable oil index (S1/TOC) in both clayey and silty shales. In clayey shale, the lost oil content is higher than the residual movable oil and comparable to the residual movable water content, with movable oil occupying relatively larger pore sizes than movable water. In silty shale, the lost oil content far exceeds that of residual movable oil and water, dominating the effective porosity. Fractal dimension (DA) negatively correlates with S1/TOC, indicating meso- to macro-pore heterogeneity controls movable oil content, especially in silty shale. The findings offer insights into in-situ shale oil occurrence mechanisms.
