Shale oil in-situ lightening development method, apparatus and system

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a shale oil in-situ lightening development method, apparatus and system, wherein the method comprises: determining an effective shale interval according to an interval with a total organic carbon greater than a first lower limit value in a target stratum; determining a favorable region for shale oil in-situ lightening development according to a thickness of the effective shale interval and an effective layer thickness ratio, wherein the effective layer thickness ratio includes a ratio of the thickness of the effective shale interval to a thickness of a shale section, and the shale section includes the effective shale intervals and interlayers therebetween. By utilizing the embodiments of the present disclosure, the benefit of the shale oil in-situ lightening development can be improved.
