Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seismic exploration technology, specifically to a method and apparatus for depicting river channels. Background Technology

[0002] Fluvial sandstone reservoirs are the main oil and gas reservoirs in my country's continental basins. However, some channel sandstone reservoirs have weak reflection characteristics, and the impedance difference between conventional sandstone reservoirs and surrounding rocks is large, resulting in strong reflection characteristics on conventional superimposed profiles, exhibiting typical Type III AVO features. However, due to the superposition of channel sandstone bodies and variations in thickness and physical properties, some channels have weak seismic reflection characteristics and unclear channel boundaries, making it difficult to clearly characterize these "hidden" channels using conventional channel delineation methods. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for depicting river channels, which solves the problem that conventional river channel depiction methods are unable to clearly depict river channels with weak reflective features.

[0004] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for depicting a river channel, comprising:

[0005] Obtain the pre-stack set of the river channel and optimize the pre-stack set;

[0006] Acquire data and perform well-seismic calibration based on the data.

[0007] Based on the well seismic calibration results, the AVO response characteristics of different river channels were analyzed, and weighting coefficients were obtained based on the AVO response characteristics.

[0008] The river channels are characterized based on the AVO response characteristics of the different channels and the weighting coefficients.

[0009] In one embodiment, the step of optimizing the pre-stack gather includes: performing optimization processing on the pre-stack gather using spatial consistency techniques, while preserving the AVO features of the pre-stack gather.

[0010] In image segmentation, a point in an image has a high probability of sharing the same class attribute as points in its surrounding neighborhood. This characteristic is called the spatial consistency property of an image.

[0011] AVO (Amplitude Variation with Offset) technology is used to study the variation of seismic reflection amplitude with the distance between the shot point and receiver (i.e., the shot-receiver offset (or incident angle)). This allows for the exploration of the variation in reflection coefficient response with shot-receiver offset (or incident angle), thereby determining the lithological characteristics and physical properties of the overlying and underlying media at the reflection interface. With the help of AVO analysis, geophysicists can better assess the rock properties of hydrocarbon reservoirs, including porosity, density, lithology, and fluid content. The theoretical basis of AVO is Zoeppritz's equatorial equation. Based on pre-stack seismic inversion developed according to AVO theory, formation elastic parameters can be predicted through observed seismic data, making it an important quantitative interpretation technique for seismic data.

[0012] In one embodiment, the data includes at least one of seismic data, well logging data, and drilling data.

[0015] Acquire well logging data and interpret well logging sand bodies based on the well logging data;

[0016] The well-seismic calibration is performed based on the seismic stratigraphic interpretation and the well logging sand body interpretation.

[0017] In one implementation, the step of obtaining weighting coefficients based on the AVO response characteristics includes: analyzing the corresponding dominant channel sets according to the AVO response characteristics of different channels, thereby determining the weighting coefficients.

[0018] Based on the different AVO channel response characteristics, the corresponding dominant channels are analyzed to determine the weighting coefficients, as shown in the following formula.

[0019]

[0020] Where, x j a represents the amplitude value at the j-th angle. j This represents the weighted superposition coefficient for the j-th angle.

[0021] In one implementation, the step of characterizing the river channel based on the AVO response characteristics of the different river channels and the weighting coefficients includes: extracting the maximum trough attribute sensitive to the river channel based on the weighting coefficients, and characterizing the river channel based on the maximum trough attribute sensitive to the river channel.

[0022] A river channel sculpting device, comprising:

[0023] The acquisition module is used to acquire pre-stack gathers of the river channel and to acquire data.

[0024] An optimization module is used to optimize the pre-stack gather;

[0025] The calibration module is used to perform well vibration calibration based on the data.

[0026] The analysis module is used to analyze the AVO response characteristics of different channels based on the well seismic calibration results, and to obtain weighting coefficients based on the AVO response characteristics;

[0027] A characterization module is used to characterize the river channels based on the AVO response characteristics of the different river channels and the weighting coefficients.

[0028] After acquiring the pre-stack gathers of the river channel, the acquisition module transmits the data to the optimization module, which optimizes the pre-stack gathers. The acquisition module 10 also acquires data, which includes at least one of seismic data, well logging data, and drilling data. The acquisition module sends the acquired data to the calibration module, which performs well-seismic calibration based on the data. Then, the analysis module analyzes the AVO response characteristics of different river channels based on the well-seismic calibration results and obtains weighting coefficients based on the AVO response characteristics. Finally, the characterization module characterizes the river channel based on the AVO response characteristics of the different river channels and the weighting coefficients.

[0029] In one embodiment, the acquisition module is further configured to acquire seismic data and well logging data;

[0030] The channel characterization device also includes an interpretation module, used for interpreting seismic horizons based on the seismic data and interpreting well logging sand bodies based on the well logging data.

[0031] The calibration module is also used to perform well-seismic calibration based on the seismic horizon interpretation and the well logging sand body interpretation.

[0032] The acquisition module acquires data including seismic data and well logging data; the interpretation module performs seismic horizon interpretation based on the seismic data acquired by the acquisition module and well logging sand body interpretation based on the well logging data; subsequently, the calibration module is also used to perform well-seismic calibration based on the seismic horizon interpretation and the well logging sand body interpretation.

[0033] An electronic device includes a memory and a processor, the memory being used to store one or more computer instructions, wherein the one or more computer instructions, when executed by the processor, implement the river characterization method as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0034] A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the river channel characterization method described in any one of the preceding claims.

[0049] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] Fluvial sandstone reservoirs are the main oil and gas reservoirs in my country's continental basins. Conventional sandstone reservoirs have a large difference in impedance with the surrounding rocks and exhibit strong reflection characteristics on conventional superimposed profiles, with typical Type III AVO characteristics.

[0051] The commonly used river channel delineation techniques mainly include the following methods:

[0052] (1) Waveform classification technology: The Stratimagic seismic phase analysis software developed by the French company CGG first implemented three-dimensional seismic waveform classification technology. It mainly utilizes the amplitude, frequency and phase information contained in the seismic waveform to avoid the multiple solutions caused by a single parameter, which can improve the resolution of the channel. However, it is difficult to determine the analysis window and the number of classification types, which has certain limitations in actual operation.

[0053] (2) Multi-attribute fusion technology: Based on RGB fusion technology, data from different frequency bands are fused to depict the shape and boundary of the channel of the Shaximiao Formation in the Zhongjiang Gas Field. However, the different frequency band data are manually selected, which has a certain degree of randomness. The selection of different frequency band data affects the channel depiction results.

[0054] (3) Stratigraphic slicing technology: Based on isochronous slicing technology, the amplitude characteristics on the stratigraphic slices and the waveform change characteristics on the seismic profile are applied to depict the river channel according to the principle of "seismic trend as guide and well point phase determination".

[0055] However, due to the superposition of river sand bodies and the changes in thickness and physical properties, some river channels have weak seismic reflection characteristics and unclear river boundaries, making it difficult to clearly depict such "hidden" river channels using conventional river delineation methods.

[0056] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention firstly performs AVO-preserving gather optimization processing on pre-stack gather data; secondly, it comprehensively utilizes seismic, logging, and drilling data to perform refined well-seismic calibration, clarify the AVO response characteristics of river locations, determine dominant gathers, and determine stacking weight coefficients based on typical well AVO forward simulation results; finally, based on the stacked data volume, it extracts the maximum trough attribute sensitive to river channels to characterize hidden river channels.

[0057] This method starts from pre-stack gathers, uses AVO analysis technology to identify dominant gathers based on understanding the AVO types of hidden channels, and uses weighted stacking technology to clearly characterize hidden channels.

[0058] The specific implementation methods are as described in the following embodiments:

[0059] Example 1:

[0060] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a river channel characterization method provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown.

[0062] This embodiment provides a method for depicting river channels, which includes:

[0063] Step 01: Obtain the pre-stack set of the river channel and optimize the pre-stack set.

[0064] The step of optimizing the pre-stack gather includes: using spatial consistency techniques to optimize the pre-stack gather while preserving the AVO features of the pre-stack gather.

[0065] In image segmentation, a point in an image has a high probability of sharing the same class attribute as points in its surrounding neighborhood. This characteristic is called the spatial consistency property of an image.

[0066] AVO (Amplitude Variation with Offset) technology is used to study the variation of seismic reflection amplitude with the distance between the shot point and receiver (i.e., the shot-receiver offset (or incident angle)). This allows for the exploration of the variation in reflection coefficient response with shot-receiver offset (or incident angle), thereby determining the lithological characteristics and physical properties of the overlying and underlying media at the reflection interface. With the help of AVO analysis, geophysicists can better assess the rock properties of hydrocarbon reservoirs, including porosity, density, lithology, and fluid content. The theoretical basis of AVO is Zoeppritz's equatorial equation. Based on pre-stack seismic inversion developed according to AVO theory, formation elastic parameters can be predicted through observed seismic data, making it an important quantitative interpretation technique for seismic data.

[0067] Step 02: Obtain data and perform well-seismic calibration based on the data.

[0068] The data includes at least one of seismic data, well logging data, and drilling data.

[0069] Figure 2 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a well vibration calibration method provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] like Figure 2 As shown.

[0071] The steps of acquiring data and performing well-seismic calibration based on the data include:

[0072] Step 021: Acquire seismic data and interpret seismic horizons based on the seismic data;

[0073] Step 022: Acquire logging data and interpret logging sand bodies based on the logging data.

[0074] Optionally, interpreting the logging sand body based on the logging data includes: using the logging data to interpret the top and bottom interfaces and the thickness of the channel sand body at the target layer.

[0075] Step 023: Perform well-seismic calibration based on the seismic stratigraphic interpretation and the well logging sand body interpretation. A detailed well-seismic calibration is performed by comprehensively utilizing seismic, well logging, and drilling data.

[0076] Step 03: Analyze the AVO response characteristics of different river channels based on the well seismic calibration results, and obtain weighting coefficients based on the AVO response characteristics.

[0077] Based on the different AVO channel response characteristics, the corresponding dominant channels are analyzed to determine the weighting coefficients, as shown in the following formula.

[0078]

[0079] Where, x j a represents the amplitude value at the j-th angle. j This represents the weighted superposition coefficient for the j-th angle.

[0080] Step 04: Characterize the river channels based on the AVO response characteristics of the different channels and the weighting coefficients. Based on the weighting coefficients of different overlay data volumes, extract the maximum trough attribute to characterize channels with different AVO types.

[0081] The method for characterizing river channels provided in this embodiment of the invention starts from pre-stack data, uses AVO analysis technology, determines the dominant channel set based on understanding the AVO type of the hidden channel, and performs a clear characterization of the hidden channel based on weighted stacking technology.

[0082] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following innovative features:

[0083] (1) This invention starts from pre-stack gathers and determines the dominant gathers based on AVO analysis, thus overcoming the balancing effect of conventional stacking methods.

[0084] (2) The present invention uses a weighted superposition method to highlight different AVO types of waterways and realize the depiction of hidden waterways.

[0085] Example 2:

[0086] Figure 3 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a river channel marking device provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0087] like Figure 3 As shown.

[0088] This embodiment provides a river channel characterization device 100, which includes: an acquisition module 10, an optimization module 20, a calibration module 30, an analysis module 40, and a characterization module 50.

[0089] Among them, the acquisition module 10 is used to acquire the pre-stack gathers of the river channel and acquire data.

[0090] Optimization module 20 is used to optimize the pre-stack gather;

[0091] Calibration module 30 is used for well vibration calibration based on the data.

[0092] Analysis module 40 is used to analyze the AVO response characteristics of different channels based on the well seismic calibration results, and to obtain weighting coefficients based on the AVO response characteristics;

[0093] Characterization module 50 is used to characterize the river channel based on the AVO response characteristics of the different river channels and the weighting coefficients.

[0094] After acquiring the pre-stack gathers of the river channel, the acquisition module 10 transmits the data to the optimization module 20, which optimizes the pre-stack gathers. The acquisition module 10 also acquires data, which includes at least one of seismic data, well logging data, and drilling data. The acquisition module 10 sends the acquired data to the calibration module 30, which performs well-seismic calibration based on the data. Then, the analysis module 40 analyzes the AVO response characteristics of different river channels based on the well-seismic calibration results and obtains weighting coefficients based on the AVO response characteristics. Finally, the characterization module 50 characterizes the river channel based on the AVO response characteristics of the different river channels and the weighting coefficients.

[0095] In this invention, the acquisition module 10 can acquire the pre-stack gathers and data of the river channel simultaneously, or acquire the pre-stack gathers first and then the data; or acquire the data first and then the pre-stack gathers. The present invention does not limit the order in which the acquisition module 10 acquires the pre-stack gathers and data of the river channel.

[0096] In addition, the acquisition module 10 is also used to acquire seismic data and well logging data;

[0097] The river channel delineation device also includes an interpretation module 60;

[0098] The interpretation module 60 is used to interpret seismic horizons based on the seismic data and to interpret well logging sand bodies based on the well logging data.

[0099] The calibration module is also used to perform well-seismic calibration based on the seismic horizon interpretation and the well logging sand body interpretation.

[0100] The acquisition module 10 acquires data including seismic data and well logging data; the interpretation module 60 performs seismic horizon interpretation based on the seismic data acquired by the acquisition module 10 and well logging sand body interpretation based on the well logging data; subsequently, the calibration module 30 is also used to perform well-seismic calibration based on the seismic horizon interpretation and the well logging sand body interpretation.

[0101] The optimization module 20 is also used to perform pre-stack gather optimization processing using spatial consistency technology, while preserving the AVO characteristics of the pre-stack gather.

[0102] Analysis module 40 is also used to analyze the corresponding dominant channels based on the AVO response characteristics of different channels, thereby determining the weighting coefficients.

[0103] The characterization module 50 is also used to extract the maximum trough attribute that is sensitive to the river channel based on the weighting coefficient, and to characterize the river channel based on the maximum trough attribute that is sensitive to the river channel.

[0104] The method for characterizing river channels provided in this embodiment of the invention starts from pre-stack data, uses AVO analysis technology, determines the dominant channel set based on understanding the AVO type of the hidden channel, and performs a clear characterization of the hidden channel based on weighted stacking technology.

[0105] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following innovative features:

[0106] (1) This invention starts from pre-stack gathers and determines the dominant gathers based on AVO analysis, thus overcoming the balancing effect of conventional stacking methods.

[0107] (2) The present invention uses a weighted superposition method to highlight different AVO types of waterways and realize the depiction of hidden waterways.

[0108] Example 3:

[0109] Figure 4a The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of an A1 well orthogonal set provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0110] Figure 4b The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of an A2 well forward set provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0111] Figure 5a The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of a pre-stack gather for the A1 well bypass provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0112] Figure 5b The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of a pre-stack set of the wellside track of well A2 provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0113] Figure 6 The image shown is a property map of the maximum valley with constant coefficient superposition provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0114] Figure 7 The image shown is a three-class weighted superposition maximum trough attribute map provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0115] Figure 8 The image shown is a four-type weighted superposition maximum valley attribute map provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0116] This embodiment illustrates the implementation process and application effects of the present invention using an example. Taking data from a real work area in China as an example, a study on the characterization of hidden river channels is conducted on layer T1.

[0117] Step 1: Pre-stack gather optimization. Pre-stack gather optimization is performed using techniques such as spatial consistency to preserve the AVO characteristics of the gathers.

[0118] Step 2: Seismic stratum interpretation. The T1 layer is traced using seismic data.

[0119] Step 3: Well logging sand body interpretation. Use well logging data to interpret the top and bottom interfaces and thickness of the T1 layer channel sand body.

[0120] Step 4: Well-seismic calibration. A detailed well-seismic calibration is performed by comprehensively utilizing seismic, logging, and drilling data.

[0121] Step 5: Analysis of typical channel sand AVO types.

[0122] Combining well logging interpretation results with typical well forward modeling results, it can be seen that the channel sand bodies in the T1 layer of the work area are mainly composed of Class III and Class IV AVOs, such as Figure 4a and Figure 4b As shown.

[0123] Based on the well seismic calibration results, the gather characteristics of typical well-side channels were analyzed. The channels in this layer are all low-resistivity gas-bearing sandstone, exhibiting Class III and IV AVO characteristics, such as... Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown.

[0124] Depend on Figures 5a-5b It can be seen that the amplitude intensity of the three types of AVO increases with the increase of the incident angle, and the amplitude intensity is stronger when the incident angle is perpendicular; while the amplitude intensity of the four types of AVO decreases with the increase of the incident angle, and the amplitude intensity is relatively weak when the incident angle is perpendicular.

[0125] When using conventional equal-weight coefficients for superposition, the three types of AVO channels may still have strong reflection intensity, appearing as bright spots on the superimposed profile, and can be characterized using conventional methods; however, due to the equalization effect during the superposition process, the four types of AVO channels exhibit moderate to weak reflection on the superimposed profile, making it difficult to characterize the channels using conventional methods.

[0126] Figure 6 The maximum trough attribute of the data is the sum of the conventional equal-weight coefficients. Figure 6 It can be seen that the river boundary is blurred within the red circle, making it difficult to clearly depict the river channel.

[0127] Step Six: Determine the weighting coefficients. Based on Step Five, in order to characterize the channel distribution characteristics of layer T1, especially the four types of AVO channels, the corresponding weighting coefficients are determined according to the response characteristics of different AVO channel types.

[0128] This invention is based on forward simulation results such as Figure 4a and Figure 4b As shown, the weighting coefficients for each channel are determined using formula (1).

[0129]

[0130] Where, x j a represents the amplitude value at the j-th angle. jThis represents the weighted superposition coefficient for the j-th angle.

[0131] Step 7: Delineate the hidden river channel.

[0132] Using the weighting coefficients determined in step six for both Type III and Type IV AVO channel reservoirs, the data were then stacked separately, resulting in Type III weighted stacked data volumes and Type IV weighted stacked data volumes, respectively. For each type of stacked data volume, the maximum trough attribute was extracted.

[0133] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, by Figure 7 It can be seen that, compared with conventional overlay, the three-type weighted overlay clearly depicts the river channels in region 1, while also adding the river channels in region 3; Figure 8 It can be seen that the river boundaries in region 2 are clearer in the four types of weighted overlay data, and at the same time, the river in region 4 is depicted.

[0134] Therefore, it can be seen that the present invention can depict hidden waterways.

[0135] Therefore, this invention has the following innovative aspects compared to existing technologies:

[0136] (1) This invention starts from pre-stack gathers and determines the dominant gathers based on AVO analysis, thus overcoming the balancing effect of conventional stacking methods.

[0137] (2) The present invention uses a weighted superposition method to highlight different AVO types of waterways and realize the depiction of hidden waterways.

[0138] Example 4:

[0139] This embodiment provides an electronic device that may include a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program, which, when executed by the processor, implements the reservoir parameter prediction method as described in Embodiment 1. It is understood that the electronic device may further include an input / output (I / O) interface and communication components.

[0140] The processor is used to perform the following steps:

[0141] Step 01: Obtain the pre-stack set of the river channel and optimize the pre-stack set.

[0142] The step of optimizing the pre-stack gather includes: using spatial consistency techniques to optimize the pre-stack gather while preserving the AVO features of the pre-stack gather.

[0143] In image segmentation, a point in an image has a high probability of sharing the same class attribute as points in its surrounding neighborhood. This characteristic is called the spatial consistency property of an image.

[0144] AVO (Amplitude Variation with Offset) technology is used to study the variation of seismic reflection amplitude with the distance between the shot point and receiver (i.e., the shot-receiver offset (or incident angle)). This allows for the exploration of the variation in reflection coefficient response with shot-receiver offset (or incident angle), thereby determining the lithological characteristics and physical properties of the overlying and underlying media at the reflection interface. With the help of AVO analysis, geophysicists can better assess the rock properties of hydrocarbon reservoirs, including porosity, density, lithology, and fluid content. The theoretical basis of AVO is Zoeppritz's equatorial equation. Based on pre-stack seismic inversion developed according to AVO theory, formation elastic parameters can be predicted through observed seismic data, making it an important quantitative interpretation technique for seismic data.

[0145] Step 02: Obtain data and perform well-seismic calibration based on the data.

[0146] The data includes at least one of seismic data, well logging data, and drilling data.

[0147] The steps of acquiring data and performing well-seismic calibration based on the data include:

[0148] Step 021: Acquire seismic data and interpret seismic horizons based on the seismic data;

[0149] Step 022: Acquire logging data and interpret logging sand bodies based on the logging data.

[0150] Optionally, interpreting the logging sand body based on the logging data includes: using the logging data to interpret the top and bottom interfaces and the thickness of the channel sand body at the target layer.

[0151] Step 023: Perform well-seismic calibration based on the seismic stratigraphic interpretation and the well logging sand body interpretation. A detailed well-seismic calibration is performed by comprehensively utilizing seismic, well logging, and drilling data.

[0152] Step 03: Analyze the AVO response characteristics of different river channels based on the well seismic calibration results, and obtain weighting coefficients based on the AVO response characteristics.

[0153] Based on the different AVO channel response characteristics, the corresponding dominant channels are analyzed to determine the weighting coefficients, as shown in the following formula.

[0154]

[0155] Where, x j a represents the amplitude value at the j-th angle. j This represents the weighted superposition coefficient for the j-th angle.

[0156] Step 04: Characterize the river channels based on the AVO response characteristics of the different channels and the weighting coefficients. Based on the weighting coefficients of different overlay data volumes, extract the maximum trough attribute to characterize channels with different AVO types.

[0157] The method for characterizing river channels provided in this embodiment of the invention starts from pre-stack data, uses AVO analysis technology, determines the dominant channel set based on understanding the AVO type of the hidden channel, and performs a clear characterization of the hidden channel based on weighted stacking technology.

[0158] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following innovative features:

[0159] (1) This invention starts from pre-stack gathers and determines the dominant gathers based on AVO analysis, thus overcoming the balancing effect of conventional stacking methods.

[0160] (2) The present invention uses a weighted superposition method to highlight different AVO types of waterways and realize the depiction of hidden waterways.

[0167] The aforementioned storage media include: flash memory, hard disks, multimedia cards, card-type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory), random access memory (RAM), static random access memory (SRAM), read-only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), magnetic memory, disks, optical discs, servers, APP application stores, and various other media capable of storing program verification codes, on which computer programs are stored. When the computer program is executed by a processor, it can implement the following method steps:

[0168] Step 01: Obtain the pre-stack set of the river channel and optimize the pre-stack set.

[0169] The step of optimizing the pre-stack gather includes: using spatial consistency techniques to optimize the pre-stack gather while preserving the AVO features of the pre-stack gather.

[0170] In image segmentation, a point in an image has a high probability of sharing the same class attribute as points in its surrounding neighborhood. This characteristic is called the spatial consistency property of an image.

[0171] AVO (Amplitude Variation with Offset) technology is used to study the variation of seismic reflection amplitude with the distance between the shot point and receiver (i.e., the shot-receiver offset (or incident angle)). This allows for the exploration of the variation in reflection coefficient response with shot-receiver offset (or incident angle), thereby determining the lithological characteristics and physical properties of the overlying and underlying media at the reflection interface. With the help of AVO analysis, geophysicists can better assess the rock properties of hydrocarbon reservoirs, including porosity, density, lithology, and fluid content. The theoretical basis of AVO is Zoeppritz's equatorial equation. Based on pre-stack seismic inversion developed according to AVO theory, formation elastic parameters can be predicted through observed seismic data, making it an important quantitative interpretation technique for seismic data.

[0172] Step 02: Obtain data and perform well-seismic calibration based on the data.

[0173] The data includes at least one of seismic data, well logging data, and drilling data.

[0174] The steps of acquiring data and performing well-seismic calibration based on the data include:

[0175] Step 021: Acquire seismic data and interpret seismic horizons based on the seismic data;

[0176] Step 022: Acquire logging data and interpret logging sand bodies based on the logging data.

[0177] Optionally, interpreting the logging sand body based on the logging data includes: using the logging data to interpret the top and bottom interfaces and the thickness of the channel sand body at the target layer.

[0178] Step 023: Perform well-seismic calibration based on the seismic stratigraphic interpretation and the well logging sand body interpretation. A detailed well-seismic calibration is performed by comprehensively utilizing seismic, well logging, and drilling data.

[0179] Step 03: Analyze the AVO response characteristics of different river channels based on the well seismic calibration results, and obtain weighting coefficients based on the AVO response characteristics.

[0180] Based on the different AVO channel response characteristics, the corresponding dominant channels are analyzed to determine the weighting coefficients, as shown in the following formula.

[0181]

[0182] Where, x j a represents the amplitude value at the j-th angle. j This represents the weighted superposition coefficient for the j-th angle.

[0183] Step 04: Characterize the river channels based on the AVO response characteristics of the different channels and the weighting coefficients. Based on the weighting coefficients of different overlay data volumes, extract the maximum trough attribute to characterize channels with different AVO types.

[0184] The method for characterizing river channels provided in this embodiment of the invention starts from pre-stack data, uses AVO analysis technology, determines the dominant channel set based on understanding the AVO type of the hidden channel, and performs a clear characterization of the hidden channel based on weighted stacking technology.

[0185] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following innovative features:

[0186] (1) This invention starts from pre-stack gathers and determines the dominant gathers based on AVO analysis, thus overcoming the balancing effect of conventional stacking methods.

[0187] (2) The present invention uses a weighted superposition method to highlight different AVO types of waterways and realize the depiction of hidden waterways.
