Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of oil exploration, and particularly relates to a method for comprehensively and finely depicting a sandy conglomerate body by using well and seismic data. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important type of subtle oil and gas reservoirs, sandy conglomerate reservoirs are widely distributed in the world. Typical sandy conglomerate reservoirs in China include the Yingcheng and Shahezi formations in the Xujiaweizi area of the Songliao Basin, the Shahejie Formation in the Jiyang Depression of the Bohai Bay Basin, the Permian in the Kebai area of the Junggar Basin, the Lulehe Formation in the Kunbei area of the Qaidam Basin, the Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic in the northwest of Sichuan Province, and the like. These sandy conglomerate reservoirs are mainly distributed in steep slope zones of faulted basins with large ancient topographic relief, steep slopes and frequent tectonic activities, and are often distributed in a proximal source, rapidly accumulated and multi-period superimposed manner, and are in a finger-like contact with lacustrine mudstone, with obvious spatial distribution difference, fast lithofacies change, low rock maturity, strong reservoir heterogeneity and great difficulty in exploration and development.

[0003] For the exploration and development of sandy conglomerate reservoirs, the fine depiction of the internal periods of thick sandy conglomerate is the primary key and also a technical difficulty. Since there are no fossils in thick sandy conglomerate sediments, the cycle characteristics of logging curves are not obvious, and in addition, the resolution of seismic data is poor, so the traditional method for dividing the sandy conglomerate deposition periods has strong subjectivity. At present, scholars have carried out some research work on the sedimentary cycles and reservoir configurations of sandy conglomerate bodies, and tried to finely depict the sandy conglomerate bodies. On the one hand, scholars try to extract useful information of the sedimentary cycle interface by processing, reconstructing and transforming logging data, such as using wavelet transform of logging signals to restore three and four level base level curves, and carrying out interwell isochronous stratigraphic correlation; based on the Miller cycle analysis, db4 wavelet transform, time-frequency analysis technology and Fisher graphic method are comprehensively used to divide thick sandy conglomerate bodies into several long-term, medium-term and short-term sedimentary cycles.

[0004] On the other hand, scholars try to use three-dimensional seismic data to divide the internal periods and sequences of sandy conglomerate bodies, such as using 3D seismic data sequence stratigraphic interpretation method, frequency division processing method, seismic horizontal time slice method, etc. to study the spatial distribution characteristics and migration evolution law of sandy conglomerate fan bodies.

[0005] Seismic petrology method developed gradually in recent years is also a research hotspot in this field, but at present, most of them are microscopic seismic petrophysical research, mainly studying the seismic elastic parameter characteristics of the reservoir, and the macroscopic seismic petrology research matched with seismic sedimentology is still insufficient, that is, the method for studying the relationship between lithofacies and lithological combination and seismic reflection characteristics is lacking, which also causes strong multi-solution of seismic attributes in lithology analysis.

[0006] The current seismic petrology research mainly obtains the statistical rules between the lithology, physical property parameters and seismic elastic parameters obtained by analyzing logging data, and then carries out seismic reservoir prediction, and the well-seismic statistical combination is relatively less, and lacks stratigraphic genetic guidance and analysis. In addition, for the period division of sand and gravel reservoir, the internationally recognized SEG / EAGA model and Marmousi model for studying complex geological bodies such as salt dome and nappe structure also have important reference significance for the period division of sand and gravel reservoir.

[0007] In summary, the fine research on the sedimentary period of sand and gravel body has made certain progress, but in the research process, more single methods are used for description, and the combination degree of geology, logging and seismic is not enough. It is necessary to find the combination point and make it play its own advantages to better serve the fine description of sand and gravel. However, there is no related research and report at present. SUMMARY

[0008] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a sand and gravel body well-seismic comprehensive fine description method, which combines the geological, logging and seismic fine description methods, finds the effective combination point, and applies the combined system method to the sand and gravel reservoir to verify the application, and establishes an effective sand and gravel body well-seismic comprehensive fine description method.

[0009] To achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0010] The present application provides a sand and gravel body well-seismic comprehensive fine description method, which comprises the following steps: combining the reservoir configuration division method, fine description of the vertical sedimentary structure level of sand and gravel; using the seismic sedimentology analysis method, well-seismic comprehensive description of the spatial distribution of sand and gravel body, and clear spatial characteristics of reservoir configuration unit in target area; establishing the parameter knowledge base of internal structure unit of sand and gravel body, and predicting the development position of favorable reservoir in target area.

[0011] Further, the fine description method of sand and gravel vertical sedimentary structure level comprises:

[0012] 1) Using field outcrop model combined with three-dimensional seismic, referring to regional sedimentary background and sedimentary model, establishing 1-2 grade sedimentary cycle framework;

[0013] 2) According to the hierarchical constraint in the method of reservoir configuration division and the method of pattern fitting, 3-4 grade sedimentary cycles are divided by using logging and seismic response, wherein the 4 grade cycle is equivalent to single sand body grade;

[0014] 3) 5-6 grade sedimentary cycles are divided by using core and imaging logging mutual calibration, wherein the 5 grade cycle is equivalent to single stage braided water channel, and the thickness of the braided water channel sand gravel body is determined according to the single stage braided water channel, and the 6 grade cycle is equivalent to single stage accretion body in the braided water channel.

[0015] Further, on the basis of well-seismic comprehensive fine division of the sand gravel body vertical cycle, the three-dimensional seismic data are processed by introducing the method of seismic sedimentology, and then the spatial distribution of the sand gravel is described.

[0016] Further, the specific method comprises:

[0017] S1. Seismic tracking and interpretation are carried out on the 4-5 grade cycle interface in the sand gravel body, on the basis of the traditional wave peak and wave trough tracking, the wave peak envelope tracking method is used to delineate the overall distribution range of the 4-5 grade sedimentary stage;

[0018] S2. The attribute slice extraction of the sand gravel sensitive attribute is carried out by using the 90 degree phase conversion, horizontal slice method, combined with the amplitude-preserving imaging and coherent processing method;

[0019] S3. The attribute boundary sensitive parameter variance, arc length and root mean square amplitude are optimized, the boundary of the single stage sand gravel body is described, and the logging data are used for auxiliary verification, and the length, width, shape and extension range of the single stage underwater fan braided water channel sand gravel body are determined.

[0020] S4. The researches of predecessors on the sedimentary environment, palaeogeomorphology, boundary fault activity and lake level change are investigated, and the quantitative relationship between the sand gravel body parameters is determined by using the multiple regression analysis method.

[0021] Further, the spatial distribution of the sand gravel body is described based on the seismic sedimentology analysis technology well-seismic comprehensive description, and the characteristic parameters of the sand gravel body are determined, including the thickness, length, width, extension direction and distribution range, and the distribution of the favorable reservoir is quantitatively predicted.

[0022] Further, the method for predicting the development position of the favorable reservoir in the target area is as follows: the sand gravel body with large thickness, length, width, stable shape and wide extension range is verified by drilling, and the development position of the favorable reservoir is determined by combining the sand body reservoir physical property.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0024] Reservoir architecture research has made great progress in fluvial facies, but due to the complexity of the genetic characteristics of the sandstone conglomerate body, especially the underwater fan sandstone conglomerate body, the spatial development and distribution of the sandstone conglomerate body are non-uniform, and the internal structure of the sandstone conglomerate body is difficult to depict, and currently there are few research literatures reported. The application introduces the analysis idea of reservoir architecture, organically fuses the geological, logging and seismic fine depiction methods into the division of each level architecture, divides the 1-2 level cycle by combining the field outcrop model with the three-dimensional seismic, divides the 3-4 level cycle by using the logging and seismic response, divides the 5-6 level cycle by using the core and imaging logging mutual calibration, and each level cycle corresponds to a level architecture. From the cycle genesis and the relationship with exploration and development, the 4-5 level architecture of the sandstone conglomerate reservoir is most closely related to the oil and gas exploration and development. The division scheme and the research technology have important significance for the fine exploration and development of the underwater fan sandstone conglomerate reservoir, and have certain popularization value for the research of the same type of reservoir.

[0025] For the spatial distribution research of the sandstone conglomerate body, the traditional method is seismic attribute analysis or lithology inversion, and the research accuracy is often low, and it is difficult to depict the distribution of the 5-6 level architecture units in the sandstone conglomerate body. The application introduces the research technology of seismic sedimentology, forms a set of systematic seismic analysis method, maximizes the advantages of seismic data, and effectively overcomes the problems of complex internal structure of the sandstone conglomerate body and unclear marks. Through the envelope tracking of the same phase axis of the architecture interface, seismic body processing, phase conversion, edge carving and other technologies, the distribution pattern of the 4-5 level architecture units in the sandstone conglomerate body is finely depicted, the parameter knowledge base of the internal structure units of the sandstone conglomerate body is established, and a set of well-seismic combined fine depiction method of the sandstone conglomerate body is formed.

[0026] After verification, the method has high accuracy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
