Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of geophysical exploration and development of oil and natural gas, and in particular relates to a method for obtaining anisotropic parameters for while-drilling VSP drive processing. Background Art
[0002] The layout of shale gas horizontal wells and the prediction of carbonate fracture-cave reservoirs have put forward higher requirements for the depth domain imaging accuracy of seismic data, especially the Tarim fracture-cave reservoir, which has a small reservoir scale and strong heterogeneity, and has extremely high requirements for imaging accuracy. While-drilling VSP drive processing is an integrated engineering, geophysical and geological method developed in recent years to improve the accuracy of deep-domain imaging. The most important problem that while-drilling VSP drive processing needs to solve is the accuracy and timeliness of seismic imaging. However, most of the domestic oil and gas reservoirs are in deep high-speed areas. Due to the limitations of offset distance and signal-to-noise ratio, the sensitivity of seismic data to velocity decreases with the increase of depth and velocity. In addition, the existence of seismic velocity multi-solutions makes it impossible to obtain the precise velocity of the target position by relying solely on seismic data; at the same time, deep underground media often have strong anisotropy. Therefore, in order to obtain high-precision imaging quality, high-quality anisotropic parameters must be obtained. In order to improve the imaging accuracy, velocity modeling accuracy, and anisotropic parameter calculation accuracy, logging data and other data are usually introduced into velocity modeling, and multi-information constraints are used to achieve the purpose of velocity refinement.
[0003] The traditional anisotropic parameter modeling based on well-seismic combined grid tomography usually adopts the idea of first inverting the P-wave velocity and δ body, and then inverting the ε body separately. Among them, interpolating the well-seismic errors at the well point location is a very important link, because the well data information is the key to obtaining anisotropic parameters, but the distribution of wells is generally sparse, which requires interpolating the well-seismic errors at the classic locations to predict the depth errors at other locations, so as to obtain the anisotropic parameters within the entire work area.
[0004] Although the traditional anisotropic parameter calculation method can obtain relatively accurate anisotropic parameters, it takes a lot of time to match well and seismic data, analyze well and seismic errors, and calculate anisotropic parameters. Since all work needs to be completed within 72 hours for the while-drilling VSP drive processing, it is particularly important to calculate anisotropic parameters efficiently and accurately. If the anisotropic parameters are calculated according to the traditional method, the calculation effect will definitely not be met, because the calculation time for simply calculating the anisotropic parameters will far exceed 72 hours. While-drilling processing is based on archived data and is a reuse of archived results data. The results data already contains anisotropic parameter information obtained based on known wells. Compared with new drilling information, the accuracy of its anisotropic parameters is questionable. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an anisotropic parameter obtaining method for while drilling VSP drive processing which can fully utilize the anisotropic parameters, anisotropic velocity and new iteration velocity of existing data to quickly and accurately calculate new anisotropic parameters.

[0016] S6. Perform anisotropic depth migration using the updated anisotropic parameters to determine whether the CIP gather is flattened. If so, output the final imaging data volume. If not, return to S5.
