Using these 3D seismic data to guide the exploration of sandstone-type uranium deposits will undoubtedly open up a new research idea of ​​"using historical 3D seismic data in oil and gas areas to find uranium resources at low cost and high efficiency".

It has very important theoretical significance and practical value for understanding the basic characteristics of various ore-controlling elements of sandstone-type uranium deposits and guiding the exploration and development of sandstone-type uranium deposits. However, none of the above existing technologies provide the most important well location deployment method for sandstone-type uranium deposit exploration. Summary of the invention

[0006] The objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A method for deploying well locations for sandstone-type uranium mine exploration based on 3D seismic comprehensive interpretation comprises the following steps:

[0008] a. Read in the comprehensive 3D seismic interpretation results for the target strata of sandstone-type uranium deposits, which are the five ore-controlling factors constituting the well location deployment;

[0009] b.

[0010] c. Determine the preliminary well locations of fault-controlled ore elements based on the target stratum fault interpretation results, and the preliminary well locations are all located at the intersection of multiple faults at the target stratum target interface or in the vicinity of a large fault;

[0011] d. Determine the preliminary well locations of sedimentary ore-controlling elements based on the results of the target stratum sedimentary characteristics analysis. The preliminary well locations are located at the intersection of multiple meandering river channels at the target stratum target interface or at the center of a large-scale braided river beach;

[0012] e. Determine the preliminary well locations of lithologic ore-controlling factors based on the lithologic inversion results of the target strata, and the preliminary well locations are all located at the edge of the thick sand body of the target strata or in the transition zone of sand-mud interaction;

[0013] f. Determine the preliminary well locations of ore-bearing and ore-controlling elements based on the inversion results of the target stratum mineralization, wherein the preliminary well locations are located at the extreme points of each uranium abnormally high value area in the target stratum;

[0014] g. Conduct cross-evaluation among various ore-controlling factors for the preliminary well locations determined based on each single ore-controlling factor;

[0015] h. Optimize the final exploration well location based on the comprehensive index after cross-evaluation in step g.

[0016] Furthermore, in step a, the five ore-controlling elements constituting the well location deployment include target stratum position interpretation, fault interpretation, sedimentary characteristic analysis, lithology inversion and ore-bearing inversion results.

[0017] Furthermore, the stratigraphic interpretation results are obtained through steps such as stratigraphic calibration, stratigraphic tracking, and stratigraphic mapping of three-dimensional seismic data; the fault interpretation results are obtained through fault interpretation of three-dimensional seismic data; the sedimentary characteristic analysis results are obtained through steps such as extraction, optimization, and well location sedimentary phase calibration of three-dimensional seismic attribute stratigraphic slices; the lithological inversion results are obtained through steps such as rock physics sensitivity analysis, high-resolution seismic reservoir inversion, and lithological characteristic extraction; the mineralization inversion results are obtained through steps such as mineralization sensitive parameter analysis, high-resolution seismic reservoir inversion, and mineralization characteristic extraction.

[0018] Furthermore, step g is specifically as follows: cross-evaluation is conducted on the conditions of the other four ore-controlling factors except the reference ore-controlling factors used when the initial well site is determined.

[0019] Furthermore, step h is specifically as follows: the ore-controlling factor rating is divided into three grades: A, B, and C. Preferably, the preliminary well site that performs well in all five ore-controlling factors mentioned in step a and has the highest comprehensive index value is the final exploration well site.

[0025] 4. When deploying well locations, the method of the present invention adopts a progressive well location deployment method that first implements a preliminary well location selection based on a single ore-controlling factor, then implements a cross-evaluation between various ore-controlling factors, and finally determines the final exploration well location based on the comprehensive index of all ore-controlling factors, thereby enabling the well location deployment to be implemented in a more rigorous process control;

[0026] 5. When deploying well locations, the method of the present invention adopts a method of cross-evaluation and comprehensive rating of multiple mining control factors, which can avoid the problem of insufficient reference information in the well location determination scheme of a single factor, thereby greatly reducing the risk of well location deployment;

By making the uranium reservoirs transparent and visualized with high resolution, and adopting progressive process management and comprehensive evaluation of multiple mining control factors to carry out well location deployment, the method of the present invention can reduce exploration risks, improve exploration efficiency and the actual ore-finding rate in sandstone-type uranium exploration.
