Abstract
A method for calculating a surface relaxation rate of a shale includes: a relaxation time T distribution curve and a pore throat radius r distribution curve are obtained through experiments; abscissas of the two distribution curves are standardized, and the abscissa of the relaxation time T distribution curve is expanded or shrunk to ensure an abscissa value corresponding to a maximum ordinate value in the transformed relaxation time T distribution curve is same as an abscissa value corresponding to a maximum ordinate value in the pore throat radius r distribution curve; straight lines with a number of N parallel to a y-axis of a combined curve graph including the two distribution curves are drawn and a ρ value corresponding to each straight line is calculated; and ρ value with the number of N are processed to obtain a final surface relaxation rate ρ′.
