[0033] With the increasing demands of oil and gas reservoir exploration and development, accurate identification of pore fluids in subsurface rocks has become a crucial objective in seismic exploration. Currently, the technological bottleneck in fluid identification methods lies in achieving accurate identification of subsurface reservoir fluids and classifying fluid types. While many methods exist for identifying subsurface fluid information, methods capable of accurately classifying rock fluid types are rare. This research aims to analyze the mechanistic properties of fluid-bearing rocks based on rock physics theory, thereby developing a fluid indicator factor and using this factor to predict the distribution of subsurface reservoir fluids. Analysis shows that current fluid factor research focuses on the equivalent sensitivity of rock fluids, lacking studies on the sensitivity to fluid types. Developing a fluid factor that is sensitive to both reservoir fluids and rock fluid types is essential for improving the accuracy of reservoir fluid prediction and enhancing the precision of oil and gas identification. Based on the above analysis, this application provides a method for determining the probability of oil and gas reservoir distribution based on a newly proposed fluid factor and a seismically variable fluid factor. The newly proposed fluid factor has the highest sensitivity to water saturation and rock porosity, and the method has dual functions of fluid prediction and fluid type identification. It can be used to predict the spatial distribution of underground fluids in the fields of geoscience and engineering, and therefore can be used to predict the distribution of underground oil and gas reservoirs.

Based on the dispersion gradient of the dominant frequency of the seismic wave, determine the probability of oil and gas reservoir distribution in the exploration area. Among them, the dispersion gradient and the probability of the existence of oil and gas reservoirs are positively correlated. The parameters of the preset fluid factors include: Poisson's ratio, P-wave velocity impedance and S-wave velocity impedance, Lamé coefficient, and rock density.

[0040] The method for determining the probability of hydrocarbon reservoir distribution based on seismic frequency-varying fluid factors provided in this application, after acquiring pre-stack data of the exploration area and the initial value vector of frequency-varying velocity of reflected waves determined by pre-stack AVO inversion, further determines the synthetic seismic forward modeling record of the corresponding exploration area based on the initial value vector of frequency-varying velocity and the pre-stack data. Then, based on Bayesian theory and Markov chain Monte Carlo method, iterates each component in the initial value vector of frequency-varying velocity according to the synthetic seismic forward modeling record, pre-stack data, and initial value vector of frequency-varying velocity, thereby determining the frequency-varying velocity vector at the maximum value of the posterior probability density function relative to the pre-stack data. This allows the determination of the dispersion gradient of the preset fluid factors at the dominant seismic wave frequency, and the probability distribution of hydrocarbon reservoirs in the exploration area can be obtained based on the dispersion gradient. The preset fluid factors include Poisson's ratio, P-wave velocity impedance, S-wave velocity impedance, Lamé coefficient, and rock density, which can distinguish between reservoir fluid and rock fluid types, and improve the accuracy of reservoir fluid prediction and hydrocarbon identification.

[0041] Understandably, in this embodiment of the application, the pre-stack data of the exploration area in step S102 may include actual observed seismic data. Pre-stack AVO inversion can determine the initial velocity values ​​of reflected waves at different frequencies by analyzing the aforementioned pre-stack data, and thereby obtain the frequency-varying velocity initial value vector of the reflected waves.

[0046] Based on the frequency-varying velocity vector, determine the Poisson's ratio, longitudinal wave velocity impedance, transverse wave velocity impedance, Lamé coefficient, and rock density corresponding to reflected waves of different frequencies;

[0047] Based on Poisson's ratio, longitudinal wave impedance, transverse wave impedance, Lamé coefficient, and rock density, the preset fluid factor for reflected waves of different frequencies is determined.

[0048] The dispersion gradient of the preset fluid factor at the dominant frequency of the seismic wave is determined based on the preset fluid factor of the reflected waves at different frequencies.

[0051] The frequency-varying P-wave reflection coefficient vector of the exploration area is determined based on the propagation matrix of the upper space, the propagation matrix of the lower space, and the propagation matrix of the intermediate layer.

[0052] Understandably, we assume the exploration area is a horizontally multi-layered model, comprising three parts: an upper semi-infinite elastic space, a lower semi-infinite elastic space, and an intermediate dispersive interlayer (which may contain N horizontal sub-layers). Substituting the initial velocity vector using the propagation matrix method can simulate the seismic AVO response characteristics of the dispersive layer, thus providing a bridge between formation dispersion velocity and seismic response characteristics. For an incident angle of... When a longitudinal wave is incident on a horizontally layered medium, its reflection coefficient can be expressed as: ,in Let represent the reflection coefficient and transmission coefficient of longitudinal and transverse waves, respectively. Their calculation formulas can be expressed as follows:

[0053] ;

[0054] in, and These represent the propagation matrix of the upper space and the propagation matrix of the lower space, respectively. Represents the propagation matrix of the intermediate layer. Indicates the thickness of each layer. It is the P-wave incident vector. According to the above formula, the frequency-varying longitudinal wave reflection coefficient, which is related to the elastic properties of the medium, the thin-layer structure and thickness, the incident wave frequency, and the incident angle, can be obtained.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, step S106 may include: obtaining a synthetic seismic forward modeling record by performing a Fourier transform from the frequency domain to the time domain based on the product of the frequency-varying P-wave reflection coefficient vector and the seismic wavelet corresponding to the pre-stack data.

[0056] Understandably, based on the seismic convolution model, the synthetic seismic forward modeling record can be obtained by performing an inverse Fourier transform on the frequency domain seismic record:

[0057] ;

[0058] Wherein represents the incident angle of the seismic wavelet corresponding to the pre-stack data, represents the reflection coefficient, R is the frequency-varying P-wave reflection coefficient at different incident angles, represents the seismic wavelet corresponding to the pre-stack data in the time domain, and represents the seismic wavelet corresponding to the pre-stack data in the frequency domain.

[0059] After obtaining the synthetic seismic forward modeling record, step S108 is executed to determine the frequency-varying velocity vector at the maximum value of the posterior probability density function relative to the pre-stack data. The target posterior probability density function based on Bayesian theory in step S108 can be, for example:

[0060] ;

[0061] in, Let be the likelihood function, representing the probability that, given a frequency-varying velocity vector, corresponding actual observed seismic data exists. Let be the probability distribution function of the frequency-varying velocity. Let be the probability distribution function of the actual observed seismic data. The likelihood function can be determined based on the actual observed seismic data, synthetic seismic forward modeling records, and frequency-varying velocity functions.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the Markov chain Monte Carlo method in step S108 includes the Metropolis-Hastington algorithm.

[0063] Further, see Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, step S108 includes:

[0064] S202. Determine the initial value vector of the frequency-varying velocity as the initial iteration point of the Metropolis-Hastington algorithm;

[0065] S204. Based on the initial iteration point, the synthetic seismic forward modeling record, and the pre-stack data, the Metropolis-Hastington algorithm is used to iterate to the preset number of iterations to obtain the frequency-varying velocity vector for each iteration.

[0066] S206. Based on the frequency-varying velocity vector of each iteration, determine the velocity range of the frequency-varying velocity vector of each iteration, and determine the posterior probability density distribution of the frequency-varying velocity vector of each iteration within the velocity range.

[0067] S208. Based on the posterior probability density distribution, determine the frequency-varying velocity vector that has the largest posterior probability density relative to the actual observed seismic data.

[0068] The velocity range of the frequency-varying velocity vector obtained in each iteration of step S206 can be fitted to obtain the posterior probability density of the frequency-varying velocity vector in each iteration of the velocity range, and used to represent the target posterior probability density function based on Bayesian theory mentioned above. Then, the frequency-varying velocity vector with the largest posterior probability density relative to the actual observed seismic data can be determined accordingly.

[0069] After determining the frequency-varying velocity vector with the highest posterior probability density relative to the actual observed seismic data, step S110 can be executed to determine the dispersion curves of the preset fluid factors of reflected waves at different frequencies and to obtain the dispersion gradient at the dominant frequency of the seismic wave, thereby determining the probability of oil and gas reservoir distribution in the exploration area.

[0070] To verify the application effect of the preset fluid factor Figures 3 to 5 The sensitivity of conventional and new technologies to rock porosity and seismic dispersion was compared, demonstrating the advantages of the new technology in fluid indication and fluid type classification. Furthermore, combining the frequency-varying parameter inversion results with the new parameters revealed a stronger frequency dependence. This is crucial for reservoir fluid identification.

[0071] Figure 3 To demonstrate the advantages of the preset fluid factor in fluid identification, the preset fluid factor exhibits higher sensitivity to changes in porosity compared to conventional fluid factors and various elastic moduli. This implies a higher correlation between the porosity of underground rocks and the preset fluid factor, highlighting its unique advantage in fluid identification. Porosity sensitivity analysis verifies the feasibility of this method in fluid type classification.

[0072] Figure 4This study demonstrates the advantages of pre-defined fluid factors in seismic dispersion identification. Within a seismic frequency band, the pre-defined fluid factors, based on the oil and gas reservoir distribution probability provided in this application, exhibit a higher degree of variation with frequency compared to conventional fluid factors and various elastic moduli. This implies a higher correlation between subsurface rock fluid dispersion and seismic frequency, highlighting the unique advantage of pre-defined fluid factors in seismic dispersion identification. Fluid factor frequency dependence analysis verifies the feasibility of this method in fluid identification.

[0073] Figure 5 The dispersion gradients of the normalized values ​​of the preset fluid factor and the conventional fluid factor are shown. The dispersion gradient of the preset fluid factor exhibits higher sensitivity than that of the conventional fluid factor and the dispersion gradients of various elastic moduli. This means that using the dispersion characteristics of the preset fluid factor to identify fluids has higher accuracy, demonstrating the unique advantages of using the dispersion gradient of this preset fluid factor in fluid identification. Dispersion gradient feature analysis also verifies the feasibility of this method in fluid identification.

[0074] In summary, the method for determining the distribution probability of oil and gas reservoirs based on seismic frequency-varying fluid factors and its preset fluid factors provided in this application have the characteristics of being highly sensitive to rock porosity and seismic dispersion. The high frequency dependence has great potential value for reservoir fluid identification and reservoir characterization.
