TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of basin formation dynamics and oil exploration technology, in particular to a method for structure-multiple attribute tectonic paleogeographic reconstruction in deep buried area of superimposed basin. BACKGROUND
[0002] Tectonic paleogeographic research is the reconstruction of paleogeography under the control of multi-scale tectonics from plate tectonics to intrabasin tectonics, which reflects the constraints of basin formation dynamics on tectonic-sedimentary strata development. The tectonic paleogeographic reconstruction of the deep buried area of superimposed basin is a reshaping of the development process of the extremely poorly understood deep basin, which clarifies the tectonic-sedimentary development and genesis, and has great economic significance for deep and ultra-deep oil and gas resource potential evaluation and new field oil and gas exploration.
[0003] Current international paleogeography is mainly guided by plate tectonics theory, relying on paleomagnetism, paleontology and geochemistry to reconstruct the position of continents, plate boundaries and sea-land distribution during the geological history, and to restore plate tectonic paleogeography on the scale of plate. It emphasizes the analysis of paleogeographic changes from the time scale of the earth, and gradually integrates tectonics, topography, climate change, basin-mountain coupling, source-sink system, catchment basin characteristics, paleontology and paleo-ocean into paleogeographic research (Hall, 2009; Kanygin et al., 2009; Li Jianghai and Jiang Hongfu, 2013; Chen Hongde et al., 2017). Chinese paleogeography research began in the 1930s, and then Feng Zengzhao (1988, 2004, 2007, 2016) proposed the single factor analysis and multi-factor comprehensive mapping method to establish quantitative paleogeographic maps by dividing into paleocontinent and paleo-ocean, basin and platform, beach, set, flat, lake and reef. Wang Hongzhen (1985, 1990) used the "activity theory" of global tectonics and the "stage theory" of historical evolution as a guide, and compiled global paleocontinent reconstruction maps for the Sino-Korean, Yangtze and Tarim platforms with the help of paleomagnetic polarity curves. There are also paleogeography and paleoenvironment recovery under the coupling of deep earth processes and earth surface systems, and restoration of different geological period prototype basins, which are more based on stratigraphic development, biological fossils and sedimentary filling characteristics for lithofacies paleogeographic restoration, and serve for mineral resource exploration.
[0004] But the previous lithofacies paleogeographic mapping, often using a large number of field outcrops and drilling data, but due to the difference in drilling density, the area not revealed by drilling is difficult to form high-quality paleogeographic map, especially lack of contemporaneous tectonic control. And for the deep buried area of the superimposed basin, due to the unclear distribution of the prototype basin and the uncertain preservation of the residual basin, combined with the few drilling data, the paleogeographic map is mostly medium and small scale, which causes most of the regions to be almost data and material supported speculation and extension, and it is difficult to provide scientific, direct and practical evidence for deep resource evaluation.
[0005] Therefore, the present application designs a structure-multiple attribute tectonic paleogeographic reconstruction method for deep buried area of superimposed basin. On the basis of paleostructure recovery, the method qualitatively and semi-quantitatively reconstructs the paleogeography of deep buried area in different periods. SUMMARY
[0006] The purpose of the present application is to fill the gap in the prior art, and provide a structure-multiple attribute tectonic paleogeographic reconstruction method for deep buried area of superimposed basin. On the basis of paleostructure recovery, the method qualitatively and semi-quantitatively reconstructs the paleogeography of deep buried area in different periods.
[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application provides a structure-multiple attribute tectonic paleogeographic reconstruction method for deep buried area of superimposed basin, comprising the following steps:

[0016] Step S3 is: according to the tecto-stratigraphic unit division scheme, using the drilling, logging and seismic data, making the synthetic seismogram, determining the tecto-stratigraphic units on the cross-well section, and developing the identification and interpretation of the tecto-stratigraphic units in the deep buried area, carrying out the main unconformity ternary structure tectonic interpretation, including the systematic analysis of the tectonic deformation of the underlying strata of the unconformity, the planar distribution of the unconformity structure type, the sedimentary structure and the initial sediments of the overlying strata of the unconformity and their sources; using the layer flattening method to qualitatively and semi-quantitatively further identify and analyze the main unconformity structure types and deformation characteristics in the deep buried area, respectively marking them on the plan view, and determining the spatial distribution of the basin-scale unconformity structure.

[0018] Step S5 is: using the synthetic record and velocity analysis to finely calibrate the seismic reflection interface, analyzing the seismic reflection characteristics of each tecto-stratigraphic unit in the deep buried area, and drawing the planar distribution map of the seismic reflection structure and the reflection amplitude, frequency, continuity and other multi-attribute characteristics. Through seismic wavelet extraction, low-frequency model establishment, and multi-time window layered wave impedance inversion, the wave impedance profile of each tecto-stratigraphic unit obtained by constrained sparse pulse inversion is obtained, and it is converted into tecto-sedimentary section according to S1, S2 and S3.
[0019] Step S6 is: on the basis of the paleostructure-paleogeomorphology map in different periods, combining the seismic attributes and wave impedance profile of the tecto-stratigraphic units according to the drilling and sedimentary facies model, forming the spatial distribution of the sedimentary facies belts controlled by paleostructure. According to the tectonic activity of the basin edge and deep part in different periods, the basin-scale tectonic paleogeography in each single tectonic movement period is restored.

[0036] Step S1: According to the field geological survey of the outcrop profile of the basin edge, identify and clarify the regional unconformity and local unconformity, take the regional unconformity as the boundary of the stratigraphic sequence framework, analyze the petrological and sedimentological characteristics of the stratigraphic sequence, and establish the sedimentary facies model.
[0037] Step S2: Comparing the stratigraphic sequence development characteristics of the outcrop area, combining with the comprehensive analysis of the drilling, logging and seismic data in the basin, establishing the stratigraphic sequence framework that can be compared in the outcrop area and downhole; determining the tectonic-stratigraphic unit in the deep buried area according to the main tectonic movement period.
[0038] Step S3: According to the tectonic-stratigraphic unit division scheme of the deep buried area, using drilling, logging and seismic data, making synthetic seismograms, determining each tectonic-stratigraphic unit on the cross-well section, and expanding the identification and interpretation of each tectonic-stratigraphic unit in the deep buried area, dissecting the unconformity structure of the main tectonic-stratigraphic unit, including systematic analysis of the tectonic deformation of the underlying strata of the unconformity, the planar distribution of the unconformity structure type, the sedimentary structure of the overlying strata and the initial sediments and their sources, etc.; using the layer flattening method, qualitatively and semi-quantitatively identifying and analyzing the main unconformity structure types and deformation characteristics in the deep buried area (such as Figure 2a ), marking them on the plan view according to different tectonic-stratigraphic units, and determining the spatial distribution of the basin-scale unconformity structure.
[0039] Step S4: According to the drilling, logging, reflection seismic and other data, through the interpretation of the tectonic-stratigraphic unit in the deep buried area, identifying the main faults, using the balanced section method to qualitatively and semi-quantitatively determine the fault tectonic activity and effect of different periods; combining with gravity, magnetic, electrical and other geophysical data, identifying the magmatic rock records existing in the tectonic-stratigraphic unit, clarifying the possible magmatic events, superimposing the results of step S4 on the unconformity structure distribution map of different tectonic movements, and obtaining the paleo-tectonic-paleogeomorphology map of different periods.
