Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of geological exploration technology, and in particular to a method and device for distinguishing the gravity flow type of a continental fault basin. Background Art
[0002] In oil and gas exploration in continental faulted lake basins, accurately identifying the type of gravity flow is of great theoretical and practical significance. Gravity flow types include flood-type gravity flow and slump-type gravity flow. First, the reservoir characteristics of these two types of gravity flow differ significantly: flood-type gravity flow often forms continuously distributed turbidite sand bodies with good sorting and high porosity (usually greater than 15%), making them high-quality targets for conventional oil and gas reservoirs; slump-type gravity flow often develops lenticular sand-mud mixed reservoirs with strong heterogeneity, but fracture-developed areas may become unconventional oil and gas sweet spots. If the type of gravity flow is misjudged, it will lead to incorrect exploration target selection. For example, mistaking a slump body for a turbidite sand body for a well placement may result in inefficient or ineffective drilling due to reservoir discontinuity. Secondly, the sedimentation mechanisms and hazard risks of these two types of gravity flows differ: flood-type gravity flows carry sediment over long distances and may cause sedimentary overpressure in deepwater areas; landslide-type gravity flows are closely related to slope instability, are highly sudden, and may damage the integrity of the caprock. Accurate identification of gravity flow types can provide a basis for engineering facility site selection and geological disaster warning. In addition, the development strategies for these two types of gravity flows require targeted adjustments: flood-type reservoirs are suitable for horizontal wells and continuous fracturing, while landslide-type reservoirs require directional wells to connect the fracture network. Misjudging the type of gravity flow will lead to the failure of the development plan or a surge in costs. Finally, from a resource evaluation perspective, the calculation of flood-type sandstone resource volume relies on a continuous volume model, while landslide-type reservoirs require quantification of fracture contributions. Misjudging the type of gravity flow may lead to deviations in reserve estimates.
[0003] Traditional methods for identifying the genesis of gravity flows identify the depositional origin of deepwater gravity flows by analyzing the distribution of the long axis of clastic grains in sandstone thin sections. However, this method relies on a single parameter and single core data, making it difficult to fully reflect the differences in sedimentary processes. Furthermore, it is limited to static analysis and lacks dynamic simulation coupled with geological process verification, resulting in a high risk of multiple solutions and difficulty in accurately identifying the type of gravity flow.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] To make the purposes, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0022] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of a method for distinguishing the gravity flow type of a continental fault basin according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown in Figure 1, a method for distinguishing the gravity flow type of a continental fault basin includes: Step S101: Acquire 3D seismic data, core data, and well logging data of a target area.
[0023] In this embodiment, 3D seismic data includes seismic reflection structure and seismic slope; core data includes lithofacies characteristics, sedimentary structures, sedimentary sequences, and grain size distribution; and well logging data includes gamma ray and resistivity logging data. The target area can be a continental faulted lake basin, and seismic exploration techniques can be used to acquire 3D seismic data for the target area. 3D seismic data reveals the structure of the subsurface strata by analyzing the reflection and refraction characteristics of seismic waves as they propagate underground. Specifically, 3D seismic data includes seismic reflection structures, such as broom-shaped foreset reflections and slump basement reflection termination types, as well as seismic slope parameters, which reflect the inclination and morphology of the strata. Core samples can be obtained through drilling and analyzed in detail. Core data reveals the sedimentary environment, hydrodynamic conditions, provenance characteristics, and diagenetic evolution of the strata. Well logging data can be collected during drilling, including gamma ray and resistivity curve morphology. Gamma ray logging data reflects the radioactivity of the strata, while resistivity logging data provides information on the electrical properties of the strata. Well logging data is crucial for identifying reservoir properties and fluid saturation.
[0024] Step S102 : determining the gravity flow type of the target area based on the 3D seismic data, core data, and well logging data, as well as the characteristics of the flood-type gravity flow and the characteristics of the slump-type gravity flow.
[0025] In this embodiment, a multi-parameter fusion discrimination can be performed based on 3D seismic data, core data, and well logging data, as well as the characteristics of flood-type gravity flow and slump-type gravity flow, to determine the gravity flow type in the target area. In one example, if the 3D seismic data, core data, and well logging data are more consistent with the characteristics of flood-type gravity flow, then the gravity flow type in the target area is flood-type gravity flow; if the 3D seismic data, core data, and well logging data are more consistent with the characteristics of slump-type gravity flow, then the gravity flow type in the target area is slump-type gravity flow.
[0026] Step S103: Verify the gravity flow type based on sedimentation process simulation, seismic inversion verification and reservoir microscopic verification.
[0027] In this embodiment, the gravity flow type obtained in step S102 can be verified by combining sedimentation process simulation, seismic inversion verification, and reservoir microscopic verification. Sedimentation process simulation verifies the rationality of the gravity flow type by simulating the sediment transport and deposition process. Seismic inversion verification verifies the seismic characteristics of the gravity flow type using seismic data inversion results. Reservoir microscopic verification verifies the reservoir characteristics of the gravity flow type by analyzing the microstructure and geochemical characteristics of core samples.
[0028] Step S104 : In response to the verification being passed, determining the gravity flow type as the target gravity flow type of the target area.
[0029] In this embodiment, if the gravity flow type is consistent with the results of sedimentation process simulation, seismic inversion verification, and reservoir microscopic verification, the gravity flow type is determined as the target gravity flow type of the target area.
[0030] In this disclosure, by comprehensively utilizing three-dimensional seismic data, core data and logging data, combined with sedimentary process simulation, seismic inversion verification and reservoir micro-verification, the gravity flow type is finally determined, overcoming the defects of single parameters and insufficient verification in traditional discrimination methods, and significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of gravity flow type discrimination. Among them, through multi-parameter collaboration, information from multiple data sources is integrated to reduce the risk of multi-solution; through the coupling of dynamic verification and static verification, numerical simulation is used to verify geological static characteristics, thereby enhancing the reliability of the discrimination results; through reservoir micro-verification, micro-parameters such as chlorite coating are used to provide key basis for oil and gas reservoir evaluation.
[0031] In another embodiment, the “characteristics of flood-type gravity flow” in step S102 include: The minimum seismic slope angle is between 0.2° and 3°. In flood-type gravity flows, because sediments are deposited under relatively low-energy conditions, the minimum slope angle reflected on the seismic profile is usually smaller, between 0.2° and 3°.
[0032] Seismic reflection structures include steep slope broom-like reflections and continuous foreset reflections. Flood-type gravity flows may show steep slope broom-like reflections on seismic profiles, reflecting sediment deposition on steep slopes. Furthermore, continuous foreset reflections indicate continuous sediment deposition during the flood event, forming a continuous reflective layer.
[0033] The lithofacies are characterized by matrix-supported conglomerate, gravel roundness that meets the roundness standard, and the presence of plant debris. The lithofacies of flood-type gravity flows typically include matrix-supported conglomerate, composed of grains of varying sizes. The well-rounded gravels indicate long-distance transport. Additionally, the lithofacies may contain plant debris, evidence of organic material deposited by the flood.
[0034] Sedimentary structures are one of normal gradation, reverse gradation, parallel stratification, cross-stratification, and imbrication. Sedimentary structures in flood-type gravity flows vary and may include normal gradation (grain size decreases from bottom to top), reverse gradation (grain size increases), parallel stratification, cross-stratification, or imbrication.
[0035] The sedimentary sequence exhibits a binary structure, from inverse to normal grain order, and is capable of developing a complete Bouma sequence. Sedimentary sequences of flood-type gravity flows typically transition from inverse grain order (larger grains at the bottom, smaller grains at the top) to normal grain order, forming a binary structure that can potentially lead to the development of a complete Bouma sequence. The Bouma sequence is a typical turbidity current sedimentary sequence consisting of five phases: Phase A (erosional basement), Phase B (massive sandstone), Phase C (inverse grain order sandstone), Phase D (normal grain order sandstone), and Phase E (mudstone caprock).
[0036] The particle size distribution is characterized by a bimodal histogram and a two-step cumulative probability curve. Flood-type gravity flow typically exhibits a bimodal histogram, reflecting the presence of two different particle size populations in the sediment. The two-step cumulative probability curve indicates a clear particle size separation in the sediment.
[0037] Well logging data shows a weakly toothed, high-amplitude box and / or bell-shaped resistivity curve. Well logging data from areas of flood-type gravity flow may show a weakly toothed resistivity curve, with small resistivity variations and high resistivity values, forming a box or bell-shaped curve. These electrical characteristics are associated with high-porosity and permeability reservoirs deposited by flood-type gravity flow.
[0038] This paper presents clear criteria and methods for identifying flood-type gravity flows by analyzing their characteristics. These characteristics, including comprehensive analysis of seismic, core, and well logging data, help improve the accuracy of gravity flow identification. Furthermore, identifying these characteristics helps better understand the depositional environment and dynamics of flood-type gravity flows, providing important geological information for oil and gas exploration and development.
[0039] In another embodiment, the “characteristics of slump-type gravity flow” in step S102 include: The minimum slope angle of earthquakes is between 3° and 8°. Slump-type gravity flows are usually associated with steeper slopes, so the minimum slope angle on their seismic profiles is larger, generally between 3° and 8°.
[0040] Seismic reflection structures are characterized by the termination of basement reflections and liquefaction deformation zones. Slump-type gravity flows may manifest on seismic profiles as the termination of basement reflections, often due to the rapid accumulation of sediments on a slope. Furthermore, the presence of liquefaction deformation zones suggests plastic flow of sediments during the sliding process. For example, a seismic profile showing an abrupt termination of basement reflections accompanied by signs of liquefaction deformation may be indicative of a slump-type gravity flow.
[0041] Lithofacies are characterized by massive sandstone intercalated with mudstone fragments and moderate sorting. Lithofacies of slump-type gravity flows may include massive sandstone intercalated with mudstone fragments, a structure that reflects mixing of sediments during the sliding process. Moderate sorting indicates that the sediments were not transported or sorted over long distances before deposition.
[0042] Sedimentary structures are one of the following: slump structures, encapsulated bedding, liquefaction-deformation structures, and drainage structures. Sedimentary structures associated with slump-type gravity flows may include slump structures, encapsulated bedding, liquefaction-deformation structures, or drainage structures. These structures reflect the dynamic behavior of sediments during sliding and accumulation.
[0043] The sedimentary sequence is incomplete and cannot be described by a Bouma sequence. The sedimentary sequence of slump-type gravity flows is often incomplete and cannot be described by a Bouma sequence. This indicates that there were many disturbances and discontinuities during the sedimentation process.
[0044] The particle size distribution is characterized by a normal unimodal histogram and an upward-arching cumulative probability curve. The particle size distribution of slump-type gravity flows typically exhibits a normal unimodal histogram and an upward-arching cumulative probability curve. These characteristics reflect the relative uniformity of sediment particle size during the deposition process.
[0045] Well logging data show high-amplitude jagged patterns in the natural gamma-ray curve, with resistivity fluctuations exceeding the threshold. Well logging data in areas of slump-type gravity flow may also show high-amplitude jagged patterns in the natural gamma-ray curve, with significant resistivity fluctuations. These electrical characteristics are associated with the complexity and heterogeneity of slump-type gravity flow deposits.
[0046] This paper presents clear criteria and methods for identifying slump-type gravity flows by analyzing their characteristics. These characteristics, including comprehensive analysis of seismic, core, and well logging data, help improve the accuracy of gravity flow identification. Furthermore, identifying these characteristics helps better understand the depositional environment and dynamics of slump-type gravity flows, providing important geological information for oil and gas exploration and development.
[0047] In another embodiment, step S103 “verifying the gravity flow type based on sedimentation process simulation, seismic inversion verification, and reservoir microscopic verification” includes: For flood-type gravity flow, the KINE3D turbulence model is used to simulate the flood injection process. The flow velocity is stable between 0.8 and 1.2 m / s and lasts for more than 6 hours. The concentration gradient is less than 5% / km. If the simulation results are consistent with the geological laws of flood-type gravity flow and the physical model constraints, the sedimentation process simulation is verified to be successful. If the seismic inversion verification results show that the continuity of the wave impedance inversion results meets the target conditions and extends far, the seismic inversion verification is passed; Through thin section identification and geochemical analysis methods, it was determined that the chlorite coating has development advantages, and the reservoir microscopic verification was passed.
[0048] In this example, to verify flood-type gravity flow, the KINE3D turbulence model was first used to simulate the flood injection process. The KINE3D turbulence model simulates fluid dynamics, including changes in flow velocity and sediment concentration. In the simulation, the flow velocity was between 0.8 and 1.2 m / s and maintained for more than 6 hours, while the concentration gradient was less than 5% / km. If the simulation results conformed to the geological laws of flood-type gravity flow and the physical model constraints, the sedimentation simulation was verified to be successful.
[0049] In this embodiment, the inversion results of the seismic data can also be analyzed, especially the continuity of the wave impedance. If the wave impedance inversion results show good continuity and extend over a long distance, it indicates that the seismic characteristics are consistent with the expected characteristics of flood-type gravity flow, thus passing the verification.
[0050] In this example, thin section analysis and geochemical analysis of the core samples can also be performed to determine the extent of chlorite coating development. The presence and extent of chlorite coatings can reflect the depositional environment and fluid properties. If the analysis results show a predominance of chlorite coatings, this is consistent with a flood-type gravity flow depositional environment, thus confirming the reservoir microscopic verification.
[0051] In another embodiment, step S103 “verifying the gravity flow type based on sedimentation process simulation, seismic inversion verification, and reservoir microscopic verification” includes: For slump-type gravity flow, the Bingham plastic flow model is used to simulate slope instability, with a peak flow velocity greater than 1.5 m / s and a sudden drop in sediment concentration. If the simulation results meet the characteristics of slump-type gravity flow, the sedimentation process simulation is verified to be successful. The seismic inversion verification results show that the wave impedance inversion results present a lens-shaped distribution and the continuity does not meet the target conditions, so the seismic inversion verification passes; Through thin section identification and geochemical analysis methods, it was determined that the probability of occurrence of chlorite envelope was less than the target threshold and its development was restricted, and the reservoir microscopic verification was passed.
[0052] In this example, the Bingham plastic flow model was used to simulate the slope instability process during the verification of slump-type gravity flow. This model is suitable for describing the behavior of high-velocity, high-concentration fluids. In the simulation, the peak flow velocity was set to greater than 1.5 m / s, and a sudden drop in sediment concentration was observed, which is consistent with the deposition characteristics of slump-type gravity flow, indicating that the deposition process simulation was verified.
[0053] In this embodiment, the inversion results of the seismic data, particularly the distribution of wave impedance, must also be analyzed. If the wave impedance inversion results show a lens-shaped distribution and the continuity does not meet the target conditions, that is, the continuity is poor, it indicates that the seismic characteristics are consistent with the expected characteristics of a slump-type gravity flow, and thus the verification is passed.
[0054] In this example, thin section identification and geochemical analysis of the core samples are also required to determine the probability and extent of the chlorite coating. If the analysis results show that the probability of chlorite coating is less than the target threshold and its development is limited, this is consistent with the depositional environment of slump-type gravity flow, and the reservoir microscopic verification is passed.
[0055] This paper presents a comprehensive method for verifying gravity flow types through sedimentary process simulation, seismic inversion, and reservoir microscopic verification. This method not only improves the accuracy and reliability of gravity flow type identification but also enhances the geological applicability of the results through multi-step verification. Furthermore, this method helps optimize exploration strategies, reduce exploration costs, and increase the discovery rate and development efficiency of oil and gas resources.
[0056] In another embodiment, the seismic reflection structure includes broom-shaped progradational reflection and landslide basement reflection termination types; the lithologic characteristics include matrix-supported conglomerate and massive sandstone interbedded with mudstone fragments; the sedimentary structure includes graded bedding and landslide deformation structure; the grain size distribution characteristics include bimodal and unimodal types; and the resistivity logging data include box-shaped, bell-shaped, and serrated types.
[0057] In this embodiment, seismic reflection structures include broom-shaped progradational reflections and slump basement reflection termination types. The broom-shaped progradational reflection structure is typically associated with flood-type gravity flows and manifests as a series of continuous reflection layers inclined toward the basin on the seismic profile. This structure reflects the rapid deposition of sediments under high-energy conditions. In practical applications, identifying this reflection structure can indicate the presence of flood-type gravity flows. The slump basement reflection termination type is associated with slump-type gravity flows and manifests as the abrupt termination or onlap of basement reflections on the seismic profile. This structure reflects the rapid accumulation of sediments during slope instability. In seismic data interpretation, identifying this reflection termination type helps confirm the deposition of slump-type gravity flows.
[0058] In this embodiment, the lithologic characteristics include matrix-supported conglomerate and massive sandstone interbedded with mudstone fragments. Matrix-supported conglomerate usually indicates a high-energy sedimentary environment, such as a flood-type gravity flow; massive sandstone interbedded with mudstone fragments may be associated with a slump-type gravity flow, manifested as mudstone fragments interbedded in the massive sandstone.
[0059] In this embodiment, the sedimentary structure includes transitional bedding and slump deformation structure, among which the transitional bedding may be related to flood-type gravity flow, manifested as a gradual change from coarse grains to fine grains. During the sedimentation process, as the energy decreases, the particle size gradually decreases; the slump deformation structure is related to slump-type gravity flow, manifested as folds, fractures and other deformation characteristics of the rock strata.
[0060] In this embodiment, the particle size distribution characteristics include bimodal and unimodal types. The bimodal particle size distribution characteristics may indicate the existence of two sediment populations with different particle sizes, which is commonly seen in flood-type gravity flows; the unimodal particle size distribution characteristics may be related to landslide-type gravity flows, which are characterized by a relatively uniform particle size distribution.
[0061] In this embodiment, the resistivity logging data includes box-type, bell-type, and sawtooth-type. Among them, the box-type resistivity curve morphology may be related to flood-type gravity flow, reflecting the reservoir characteristics of high porosity and high permeability; the bell-shaped resistivity curve morphology may indicate the presence of changes in fluid saturation in the reservoir, which is common in reservoirs deposited by flood-type gravity flow; the sawtooth-shaped resistivity curve morphology may be related to slump-type gravity flow, reflecting the complexity of sand and mud interlayers in the reservoir.
[0062] In order to facilitate the understanding of the method for distinguishing the gravity flow type of a continental fault lake basin in the present disclosure, the present disclosure is explained below using the gravity flow type distinction of the Jiufotang Formation in the northern Naiman Sag as an example: 1. Data collection and feature extraction 3D seismic data analysis: Landmark software was used to extract seismic attributes from the target interval (the lower Jiufotang Formation) and calculate paleotopographic slope. Using the Dip Scan algorithm, time slice T22 (corresponding to the top of the lower Jiufotang Formation) was selected. The western steep slope zone was identified to have a slope of 10.8° to 13.9°, with an average slope of 12.5°. The eastern gentle slope zone had a slope range of 5.6° to 7.4°, with an average slope of 6.8°. Clear overshoot points of basement reflections were identified along the northwest-southeast (northwest-southeast) direction in the western steep slope zone. Continuous progradational reflections were identified along the southeast-northwest (southeast-northwest) direction in the eastern gentle slope zone.
[0063] Core data analysis: Figure 2 The lithofacies characteristics and sedimentary structure diagram of the Nai 1 well in the embodiment of the present disclosure are shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the core of Nai 1 well (1904.8-1913.6m) in the western steep slope zone shows deformed bedding tuffaceous mud sandstone 1, deformed bedding mud sandstone 2, entrained bedding mud sandstone 3 and mudstone tear clast massive sandstone 4. Figure 4 The cumulative probability curve of the grain size of the Jiufotang Formation III sand group at 1910.6 m in the Nai 1 well according to the present invention is shown as follows: Figure 4 As shown in Figure 2, the histogram of Well Nai 1 presents a unimodal normal distribution, and the particle size cumulative probability curve is mainly characterized by a wide and gentle upward arching one-stage or three-stage distribution. Figure 3 The lithofacies characteristics and sedimentary structure diagram of Nai 17 well in the embodiment of the present disclosure are shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the core of Nai 17 well (2392.9-2404.4m) in the eastern gentle slope zone shows matrix-supported imbricate fine conglomerates 5 and 6, matrix-supported cross-bedded fine conglomerate 7, and matrix-supported massive fine conglomerate 8. Figure 5 The cumulative probability curve of the IV sand group of the Jiufotang Formation at 2399.4 m in Well Nai 17 according to the present invention is shown. Figure 5 As shown in Figure 2, the histogram of Well Nai 17 presents a bimodal or even multimodal state, and the particle size cumulative probability curve mostly presents a two-segment feature with a medium slope, indicating the development of a complete Bouma sequence.
[0064] Well logging data analysis shows that the gamma ray (GR) curve of Well Nai 1, a core well in the western steep slope zone, exhibits a jagged fluctuation pattern. The resistivity (RT) of Well Nai 17, a core well in the eastern gentle slope zone, exhibits a high-amplitude box-shaped pattern (with an amplitude difference of 25 Ω·m). The corresponding sandstone sections have an average RT of 35 Ω·m, while the mudstone sections have an RT of 8 Ω·m. The spontaneous potential (SP) in the sandstone sections has a negative anomaly amplitude of up to 40 mV, reflecting high permeability.
[0065] 2. Multi-parameter fusion discrimination In the western steep slope zone, 3D seismic data show a slope range of 10.8° to 13.9°, with an average slope of 12.5°. This steep slope suggests the development of slump-type gravity flows. Clear overshoots on the basement reflection are identified along the NW-SE direction, characteristic of slump-type gravity flows. Core data reveal entrained bedding argillaceous sandstone, deformed bedding tuffaceous argillaceous sandstone, deformed bedding argillaceous sandstone, and mudstone rip clast massive sandstone, consistent with the typical lithofacies and sedimentary structures of slump-type gravity flows. The histogram shows a unimodal normal distribution, and the cumulative probability curve for grain size is characterized by a broad, gently arching, one- or three-segment distribution, indicating a high degree of mixing between the jumping and suspended populations, consistent with the grain size characteristics of slump-type gravity flows. The natural gamma ray (GR) curve of Well Nai 1 exhibits jagged fluctuations, reflecting frequent sand-mud interbedding, characteristic of slump-type gravity flows. In summary, the fusion of multiple parameters indicates that landslide-type gravity flow develops in the western steep slope area.
[0066] In the eastern gentle slope zone, the slope range is 5.6° to 7.4° according to 3D seismic data, with an average slope of 6.8°. The slope is relatively small, which has the conditions for the development of flood-type and slump-type gravity flows. In addition, the continuous progradation reflection characteristics consistent with flood-type gravity flows are identified in the SE-NW direction. The core shows matrix-supported imbricate fine conglomerates, matrix-supported cross-bedded fine conglomerates, and matrix-supported massive fine conglomerates. The lithofacies and sedimentary structural characteristics are consistent with those of flood-type gravity flows. The sedimentary sequence is also consistent with that of slump-type gravity flows. The histogram shows bimodal or even multimodal patterns, and the grain size cumulative probability curves often exhibit a two-segment pattern with a moderate slope, consistent with the deposition of flood-type gravity flow. Well logging data show that the resistivity (RT) of Well Nai 17 exhibits a high-amplitude box-shaped pattern (with a 25Ω·m amplitude difference), corresponding to an average RT of 35Ω·m in the sandstone sections and 8Ω·m in the mudstone sections. The negative amplitude of the spontaneous potential sandstone sections reaches 40mV, reflecting high permeability, also consistent with the deposition of flood-type gravity flow. In summary, multi-parameter fusion indicates the development of flood-type gravity flow in the eastern gentle slope belt.
[0067] 3. Dynamic-static cross validation This example verifies the above discrimination results through seismic inversion verification and reservoir microscopic verification: In seismic inversion, the results of wave impedance inversion are used to reveal the vertical distribution characteristics of gravity flows of different genetic mechanisms in the Jiufotang Formation in the test area. Figure 6 The impedance inversion profile and sedimentary phase profile of the steep slope zone in the embodiment of the present invention are shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the sedimentary sand bodies at the front of the fan delta on the slope of the western steep slope belt are retrograde, and the front end of the front sand body is lens-shaped and distributed at the bottom of the slope and the downthrown plate of the syn-sedimentary fault, with poor continuity, which is consistent with the characteristics of slump-type gravity flow sand bodies. Figure 7 The wave impedance inversion profile and sedimentary phase profile of the gentle slope zone in the embodiment of the present invention are shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the wave impedance inversion profile on the eastern gentle slope side shows that the sand body has good continuity and extends far from the slope to the trough. It is formed by the combination of braided river delta front sand body and flood-type gravity flow sand body.
[0068] In terms of reservoir microscopic characteristics, Figure 8 FIG1 shows a characteristic image of chlorite coating of the gravity flow reservoir of Jiufotang Formation in Naiman Sag under scanning electron microscope in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG1. Figure 8 As shown, scanning electron microscopy revealed flocculent chlorite coatings 9 at 1982.4 m, needle-like chlorite coatings 10 at 1984 m, bamboo-leaf-like chlorite coatings 11 at 2394.5 m, and needle-like chlorite coatings 12 at 2396.1 m in the eastern gentle slope zone of Well Nai 17. No secondary enlargement of quartz was observed. No chlorite coatings were observed in cored wells in the western steep slope zone.
[0069] Through the above three-stage coupling architecture, combined with seismic, core, well logging identification and seismic inversion verification, it can be determined that landslide-type gravity flow develops in the western steep slope zone, and flood-type gravity flow develops in the eastern gentle slope zone.
