[0048] 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.
[0049] Currently, the gas-bearing potential prediction process for fractured reservoirs involves first predicting fracture development or directly inverting fracture parameters to predict gas-bearing potential. This approach presents several problems:
[0050] (1) The current azimuth data is divided based on the azimuth of ground acquisition, not based on the illumination azimuth of the target layer. Since accurate crack prediction requires pre-stack gathers with azimuth information, the crack parameters calculated in the above manner will result in inaccurate results.
[0051] (2) Predicting the development of cracks before predicting the fluid content of cracks results in cumulative errors.
[0052] In view of this, in order to solve the problem that the existing technology of first predicting the development of cracks or directly inverting crack parameters to complete the gas content prediction will lead to inaccurate results or accumulated errors, the present invention provides a gas content prediction method, device, computer equipment and storage medium.
[0053] The gas content prediction method provided by the embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
[0054] Example 1
[0055] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a gas content prediction method provided by the present invention. The gas content prediction method may include the following steps:
[0056] Step S101: Obtain the front-stack gathers of each azimuth angle of the fractured reservoir, such as... Figure 2 As shown.
[0057] Step S102: Determine the incident angles corresponding to each azimuth angle in the pre-stacked front-side gathers, and stack each pre-stacked front-side gather based on the incident angles to obtain angle domain stacked data.
[0058] Step S103: Calculate the attenuation gradient corresponding to different azimuth angles and incident angles in the angle domain superimposed data.
[0059] Step S104: Predict the gas content of the fractured reservoir based on the attenuation gradient.
[0060] Applying the gas-bearing prediction scheme of the present invention, since the seismic wave energy parallel to the direction of the fracture and perpendicular to the direction of the fracture exhibits significant differences during the underground propagation of seismic waves, the fracture identification method based on azimuth gathers has a significant effect.
[0061] During the propagation of seismic waves, there is a significant phenomenon of seismic wave energy attenuation in gas-bearing reservoirs. Predicting gas-bearing reservoirs based on post-stack attenuation properties has a good effect. The attenuation gradient extracted from pre-stack incident angle gathers as a function of the incident angle can effectively predict the gas content of the reservoir, effectively mining seismic data information and having strong generalization capabilities.
[0062] It is evident that by using the attenuation gradient to predict gas content based on the change of incident angle in trace collections at different azimuth angles, the gas content of fractures can be directly predicted, reducing the amount of computation and the impact of other factors such as the degree of fracture filling on the prediction results.
[0063] Example 2
[0064] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is another flowchart of the gas content prediction method provided by the present invention. The gas content prediction method may include the following steps:
[0065] Step S201: Obtain the front-stack gathers of each azimuth angle of the fractured reservoir, such as... Figure 2 As shown.
[0066] Step S202: Stack the front-end gathers of N directions according to the incident angle to obtain M angular domain stacked data of N directions, where N and M are natural numbers.
[0067] Preferably, N*M attenuation gradients can be calculated corresponding to M pre-stack front gathers in N directions.
[0068] Step S203: Calculate the attenuation gradient corresponding to different azimuth angles and incident angles in the angle domain superimposed data.
[0069] Step S204: Perform linear fitting on the N*M attenuation gradients to obtain N seismic attributes of the attenuation gradient as a function of the incident angle at each azimuth.
[0070] Step S205: Perform nonlinear fitting on the N seismic attributes to obtain the target seismic attribute whose attenuation gradient varies with the incident angle and azimuth angle.
[0071] Preferably, the step of performing nonlinear fitting on the N seismic attributes includes performing elliptic fitting on the N seismic attributes.
[0072] In one scenario, the gas content of the fracture is determined based on a preset correspondence between the attenuation gradient and the gas content of the fracture; the correspondence between the attenuation gradient and the gas content of the fracture is determined based on the attenuation gradient of different fracture gas contents and seismic attributes in actual drilling data.
[0073] Understandably, based on actual drilling data, we can identify high-gas-producing sections and low-gas-producing sections, and thus determine which attenuation gradient range corresponds to a high-gas-producing section and which corresponds to a low-gas-producing section. This allows us to determine the corresponding thresholds. In practical applications, once the attenuation gradient attribute values are obtained, the gas content of the fracture, such as high-gas-producing sections and low-gas-producing sections, can be determined based on the preset correspondence.
[0074] It should be noted that the actual drilling data in this invention is not used in the calculation but only to confirm the threshold of the final data volume. It can be seen that the prediction results objectively reflect the gas-bearing properties of the fractured reservoir and have low ambiguity.
[0075] This invention is based on pre-stack gathers with different azimuths and incident angles. It calculates the attenuation gradient that is sensitive to gas content, greatly extracting the effective information from seismic data. The prediction results are compared and analyzed with actual drilling production wells to complete the final prediction of fracture gas content. It has high accuracy, good stability, and strong lateral and longitudinal prediction capabilities.
[0076] Applying the gas-bearing prediction scheme of the present invention, since the seismic wave energy parallel to the direction of the fracture and perpendicular to the direction of the fracture exhibits significant differences during the underground propagation of seismic waves, the fracture identification method based on azimuth gathers has a significant effect.
[0077] During the propagation of seismic waves, there is a significant phenomenon of seismic wave energy attenuation in gas-bearing reservoirs.

[0079] The gas content prediction method provided by this invention will be illustrated below with a specific example.
[0080] According to steps S201 and S202, front-stack lookup data with azimuth and incident angle are obtained, where the azimuth is 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, and 150°. Partial angle superposition is performed on the angle domain lookup data with different azimuth angles. The angle superposition range is 0°~7°, 7°~14°, 14°~21°, 21°~28°, and 28°~35°, for a total of 30 superposition data volumes.
[0081] It should be noted that the azimuth angles of 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, and 150° listed above are preferred embodiments provided by this invention. Similarly, the angle superposition ranges of 0°–7°, 7°–14°, 14°–21°, 21°–28°, and 28°–35° are also preferred embodiments provided by this invention. Of course, other numerical settings are possible, and this invention does not limit these. Those skilled in the art can make reasonable settings according to the specific circumstances of actual applications.
[0082] Based on step S203, the corresponding attenuation gradient is calculated by superimposing data from the five angular domains in the six directions.
[0083] According to step S204, the five attenuation gradient attributes in the six directions are linearly fitted to obtain the seismic attribute Q of the attenuation gradient as a function of the incident angle in the six directions.
[0084] According to step S205, ellipse fitting is performed on the seismic attributes Q in the six azimuths to obtain the final Qvaz, which is the seismic attribute whose attenuation gradient varies with the incident angle and azimuth angle.
[0085] Please see Figure 4 This is a comparison chart of the prediction results provided by this invention and actual drilling data. Figure 4 It can be seen that the actual drilled well A has well-developed fractures and high gas content, while the actual drilled well B has well-developed fractures but is filled with mud and has poor gas content. The predicted results are consistent with the actual drilled wells.

[0092] Gas-bearing prediction module 340 is used to predict the gas-bearing capacity of the fractured reservoir based on the attenuation gradient.
[0093] In one scenario, the post-stack data acquisition module 320 is used to superimpose the pre-stack lookup data of N directions according to the incident angle to obtain M angular domain superimposed data of N directions, where N and M are both natural numbers.
[0094] In another scenario, the post-stack data acquisition module 320 is specifically used to calculate the N*M attenuation gradients corresponding to the M pre-stack front gathers in N directions.

[0096] In another scenario, the gas content prediction module 340 is specifically used to perform ellipse fitting on the N seismic attributes.
[0097] In another scenario, the gas content prediction module 340 is used to determine the gas content of the fracture based on a preset correspondence between the attenuation gradient and the fracture gas content; the correspondence between the attenuation gradient and the fracture gas content is determined based on the attenuation gradient of different fracture gas contents and seismic attributes in actual drilling data.
[0098] Understandably, based on actual drilling data, we can identify high-gas-producing sections and low-gas-producing sections, and thus determine which attenuation gradient range corresponds to a high-gas-producing section and which corresponds to a low-gas-producing section. This allows us to determine the corresponding thresholds. In practical applications, once the attenuation gradient attribute values are obtained, the gas content of the fracture, such as high-gas-producing sections and low-gas-producing sections, can be determined based on the preset correspondence.

Therefore, the prediction results objectively reflect the gas-bearing capacity of the fractured reservoir, with low ambiguity. This invention is based on pre-stack gathers divided by azimuth and incident angle, calculating the attenuation gradient sensitive to gas-bearing capacity, greatly extracting effective information from the seismic data. The prediction results are compared and analyzed with actual drilling production wells to complete the final prediction of fracture gas-bearing capacity, demonstrating high accuracy, good stability, and strong lateral and vertical prediction capabilities.

Predicting gas-bearing reservoirs based on post-stack attenuation properties has a good effect. The attenuation gradient extracted from pre-stack incident angle gathers as a function of the incident angle can effectively predict the gas content of the reservoir, effectively mining seismic data information and having strong generalization capabilities.
[0151] It is evident that by using the attenuation gradient to predict gas content based on the change of incident angle in trace collections at different azimuth angles, the gas content of fractures can be directly predicted, reducing the amount of computation and the impact of other factors such as the degree of fracture filling on the prediction results.
[0152] In other cases, the method implemented by the processor when executing the computer program may include steps S201 to S205:
[0153] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a gas content prediction method provided by the present invention. The gas content prediction method may include the following steps:
[0154] Step S201: Obtain the front-stack gathers of each azimuth angle of the fractured reservoir, such as... Figure 2 As shown.
[0155] Step S202: Stack the front-end gathers of N directions according to the incident angle to obtain M angular domain stacked data of N directions, where N and M are natural numbers.
[0156] Preferably, N*M attenuation gradients can be calculated corresponding to M pre-stack front gathers in N directions.
[0157] Step S203: Calculate the attenuation gradient corresponding to different azimuth angles and incident angles in the angle domain superimposed data.
[0158] Step S204: Perform linear fitting on the N*M attenuation gradients to obtain N seismic attributes of the attenuation gradient as a function of the incident angle at each azimuth.
[0159] Step S205: Perform nonlinear fitting on the N seismic attributes to obtain the target seismic attribute whose attenuation gradient varies with the incident angle and azimuth angle.
[0160] Preferably, the step of performing nonlinear fitting on the N seismic attributes includes performing elliptic fitting on the N seismic attributes.
[0161] In one scenario, the gas content of the fracture is determined based on a preset correspondence between the attenuation gradient and the gas content of the fracture; the correspondence between the attenuation gradient and the gas content of the fracture is determined based on the attenuation gradient of different fracture gas contents and seismic attributes in actual drilling data.
[0162] Understandably, based on actual drilling data, we can identify high-gas-producing sections and low-gas-producing sections, and thus determine which attenuation gradient range corresponds to a high-gas-producing section and which corresponds to a low-gas-producing section. This allows us to determine the corresponding thresholds. In practical applications, once the attenuation gradient attribute values are obtained, the gas content of the fracture, such as high-gas-producing sections and low-gas-producing sections, can be determined based on the preset correspondence.
[0163] It should be noted that the actual drilling data in this invention is not used in the calculation but only to confirm the threshold of the final data volume. It can be seen that the prediction results objectively reflect the gas-bearing properties of the fractured reservoir and have low ambiguity.
[0164] This invention is based on pre-stack gathers with different azimuths and incident angles. It calculates the attenuation gradient that is sensitive to gas content, greatly extracting the effective information from seismic data. The prediction results are compared and analyzed with actual drilling production wells to complete the final prediction of fracture gas content. It has high accuracy, good stability, and strong lateral and longitudinal prediction capabilities.
