The invention provides a manual shale
physical model and a manufacturing method and application of the manual shale
physical model. The manufacturing method of the manual shale
physical model includes the first step of mixing adhesives and stone
powder evenly, wherein the adhesives are
epoxy resin adhesives, the stone
powder comprises 10%-70% of quart, 10%-80% of kaoline, 4%-25% of organic carbon
powder and 3%-10% of
calcite, and the use amount of the adhesives is 5%-35% of the total
mass of the stone powder, the second step of filling a mould with mixtures of the adhesives and the stone powder, placing and fixing the mould on a pressure gauge horizontally, adjusting the perpendicular pressure intensity to 80-300 MPa, fixedly placing the mould for more than 24 hours for preliminary solidifying, and the third step of demoulding,
drying a shale sample subjected to preliminary solidifying at the temperature
ranging from 30 DEG C to 50 DEGC and obtaining the manual shale physical model. The obtained manual shale physical model is compact, has specific
porosity and density, has anisotropic characteristics, has transverse isotropic characteristics and can provide a reliable basis for comparison and
verification of research results of actual shale reservoir strata.
