Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oilfield development, and in particular relates to a reservoir fluid identification method based on post-stack seismic. Background Art

[0002] The shallow oil and gas reservoirs in Shengli offshore oilfield are channel sand bodies of Guantao Formation, which are scattered in the plane, mostly potato-shaped or strip-shaped. The oil layer is single in the vertical direction, mostly 1-2 layers, and the single layer thickness is thin, mostly 3-5m. The relationship of the internal superposition of sand bodies is not easy to identify. Multiple sets of sand bodies have a single reflection axis in seismic. At the same time, the reservoir fluid is complex, and different sand bodies have different oil-water interfaces, making it difficult to identify the oil content of the reservoir.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN107966731B discloses a method for identifying the overlapping areas of river facies sand bodies based on seismic waveform structural attributes, and the method steps are as follows: Step 1: Prepare data, prepare geological data, seismic data and logging data; Step 2: Select the target layer of a period time window, and extract the waveform structural attributes of integral, statistical and differential categories; Step 3: Identify the thicker sand body distribution area through the integral attribute, and find the thicker sand body distribution area; Step 4: Identify the overlapping areas of sand bodies by means of statistical attributes. If there are overlapping sand bodies in the thick sand body area, some lines or ties will appear in the thick sand body area on the kurtosis, coefficient of variation and skewness attribute slices, and these lines and ties are mostly reflected in the overlapping areas of sand bodies; Step 5: Verify and identify the overlapping areas of sand bodies again based on the differential attributes, and verify and identify the lines or ties formed by the overlapping of river sand bodies again through the composite envelope difference, half-time curvature difference and peak-to-valley kurtosis difference attribute slices, and perform joint analysis with the statistical attribute slices to determine the overlapping areas of the river channels. This method proposes seismic waveform structural attributes, has a clear calculation formula, and is easy to implement. It proposes to extract seismic waveform structural attributes in one cycle, with a fast calculation speed. Each seismic waveform structural attribute extracted in one cycle has a very obvious advantage in predicting and identifying the superimposed area of ​​river phase reservoir sand bodies by using the waveform structural attributes extracted in one cycle.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN105093303B discloses a seismic interpretation method for fine characterization of discontinuous boundaries of fluvial sand bodies, which includes the following steps: 1) According to the positive rhythmic sedimentary characteristics of fluvial sand bodies, combined with the requirements of subsequent attribute analysis for attribute extraction time window, the sand body envelope method is used to interpret the structure of the sand body unit; 2) Ant tracking attributes and curvature attributes are extracted for the target reservoir segment; 3) Amplitude plane attributes, curvature plane attributes and ant tracking plane attributes are extracted with the top and bottom of the interpreted sand body envelope as the time window; 4) The curvature plane attributes and ant tracking plane attributes of the seismic profile are taken for comparative analysis to determine the discontinuous boundaries of the sand bodies; 5) Amplitude-type attributes are deduced by longitudinal slicing to assist in determining the discontinuous boundaries caused by the longitudinal superposition of sand bodies and to divide the sand body depositional periods; 6) The judgment result of the discontinuous boundary plane obtained in step 4) and the conclusion of the longitudinal sand body period division obtained in step 5) are used to jointly assist in the establishment of sedimentary facies recognition.

[0005] For this type of reservoir well deployment, the accuracy of reservoir prediction description is particularly important, especially the prediction of sand body fluid properties. However, there is no method for identifying reservoir fluids using post-stack seismic. Summary of the invention
