Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of data processing, and in particular to a pore pressure prediction method and device. Background Art

[0002] Pore ​​pressure prediction is widely used in all stages of oil and gas exploration, development, and engineering. In the geological exploration stage, pressure controls the generation, migration, accumulation, preservation, accumulation process, and distribution of oil and gas. Known pore pressure can be used for oil and gas detection and reserve confirmation; in the development stage, pressure directly provides energy for oil and gas migration. Known pore pressure can be used to determine the connectivity of inter-well reservoirs and optimize reservoir transformation; in the drilling stage, abnormally high pressure may cause blowouts, well wall instability, wellbore erosion, and drilling fluid circulation loss. Known pore pressure can be used to effectively prevent blowouts, stuck drill, and well leakage, and ensure the smooth progress of drilling operations. Therefore, using seismic data to accurately and comprehensively predict the pore pressure of complex porous reservoirs will help improve drilling and ensure drilling safety and economy.

[0003] Existing pore pressure prediction is based on effective stress theory and compaction theory, and adopts empirical models. These empirical models mainly consider the mechanical compaction of the formation and assume an obvious relationship between porosity and effective stress. Therefore, they are more suitable for rocks with developed primary pores. However, for rocks with dominant chemical compaction and developed secondary pores, the relationship between velocity and effective stress diverges and the correlation coefficient is small due to the extremely uneven distribution of porosity, saturation, permeability, pore structure, etc. within the formation. The prediction results of these models often deviate greatly from the actual drilling results.

[0004] The application conditions of existing pressure prediction models are relatively stringent. For example, the Eaton pressure model assumes that the longitudinal wave velocity is zero when the effective pressure is zero, while the Bowers pressure model assumes that the longitudinal wave velocity is 1500m / s when the effective pressure is zero. These assumptions are inconsistent with the actual rock velocity when the effective pressure is zero, and large errors are inevitable when applying these formulas for pressure prediction.
