Problems solved by technology

Since seismic data are affected by many factors such as observation system design, surface geological conditions, construction conditions, and data processing conditions during data acquisition, there may be many problems such as acquisition footprints, interference noise, and artificial artifacts. Predicting Fracture Distribution Brings Uncertainty
However, the data volume of 3D seismic data, especially pre-stack data, is often calculated in several GB or even TB, and the storage of intermediate data and computer time are huge resource consumption.
Moreover, not every seismic work area has 3D seismic data, and a large number of developed oil and gas fields only have 2D seismic data
For work areas lacking 3D seismic data, it is difficult to complete fracture prediction and analysis by the above methods

Abstract

The present invention discloses a fracture prediction analysis method based on structural evolution stratum strain. The method comprises the following steps of: performing horizon calibration of a work area; picking up a seismic data target horizon and all the horizons on the target horizon; calculating transmutation difference of the target horizon and all the horizons on the target horizon; calculating the maximum positive curvature and the maximum negative curvature of the transmutation difference, and rejecting a singular value; determining a fracture development area and a relative development degree according to the size of a curvature value; and overlapping the prediction areas to obtain the fracture development condition of the target stratum. The method considers the stratum strain condition of the target horizon in the evolution processes of different geological historical periods, can estimate the positions of the fractures being possibly to be developed and development degrees, can reveal the hidden fracture development positions, can eliminate the influence of the abnormal value and can be used for two-dimensional and three-dimensional seismic work area.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fracture prediction and analysis, in particular to a fracture prediction and analysis method based on structural evolution stratum strain. Background technique [0002] The distribution and development degree of fractures play a very important role in the exploration and development of oil and gas fields. In most unconventional oil and gas fields and carbonate oil and gas fields with less developed pores, natural fractures are one of the main factors affecting productivity. The distribution of fractures is complex, the regularity is poor, and its identification and prediction are difficult. The fracture identification and prediction technology has always been the focus of the industry. There are three main types of fracture research methods: geological identification methods based on cores and outcrops, fracture identification and description methods based on seismic data, and identification and predicti...
