AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for identifying tectonic ridges are greatly affected by the quality of seismic data, resulting in large errors, poor regularity, and significant influence of human factors on grid increment, search radius, and grid filtering parameters, leading to poor reliability of micro-amplitude tectonic research results.
A three-step method for constructing smooth maps is adopted. The least squares algorithm and the distance-weighted algorithm are used for gridding, and the point average smoothing method is used for smoothing. The resulting maps reflect low-amplitude structures and structural backgrounds, respectively. The distribution map of structural ridges is obtained by difference.
This method achieves wider adaptability for structural ridge identification, is unaffected by the quality of seismic data, clarifies grid parameters, and improves the operability and accuracy of structural ridge identification, providing an important reference for the prediction of remaining oil and gas.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of geophysical exploration technology, specifically a method for identifying structural ridges. Background Technology
[0002] As exploration and development continue to deepen, easily identifiable large-scale structural oil and gas reservoirs are becoming increasingly scarce. Therefore, micro-scale structures and structural ridges are receiving more and more attention as advantageous channels for oil and gas migration.
[0003] To improve the accuracy of micro-amplitude tectonic identification, researchers have adopted many improvements in seismic data processing, velocity mapping, and synthetic record calibration. However, these improvements ultimately combine coherent time slices with fine-grained tectonic mapping. Because time slice identification of micro-amplitude tectonic structures is not precise enough, and because of the four key parameters in tectonic mapping (grid increment, search radius, grid filtering, and contour interval), only the contour interval is determinable; the other three are significantly influenced by human factors, resulting in poor reliability of micro-amplitude tectonic research findings.
[0004] In the field of geophysical exploration, the commonly used method for identifying structural ridges is to use the most positive curvature to identify structural ridge lines. This method is simple and fast, but it is greatly affected by the quality of seismic data and has many interfering factors. The identified structural ridges have large errors and poor regularity, so the applicability of this method is poor. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for constructing ridge recognition.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical methods:
[0007] A method for constructing ridge recognition includes the following steps:
[0008] S1. Select the target layer structure map, set the meshing parameters to mesh the target layer structure map, and smooth it once according to the meshing parameters to obtain structure map A;
[0009] S2. Set the meshing parameters to mesh the construction graph A, and perform three smoothing operations according to the meshing parameters to obtain the construction graph B;
[0010] S3. Set the meshing parameters to mesh the construction graph B, and then smooth it once according to the meshing parameters to obtain the construction graph C;
[0011] S4. Subtract construction diagram C from construction diagram A to obtain the remaining construction diagram after removing the construction trend;
[0012] S5. Assign 0 to the regions with negative values in the remaining construction map to obtain the construction ridge distribution map.
[0013] As a limitation: the gridding method used in step S1 is the least squares algorithm or the distance-weighted algorithm; the smoothing level of the first smoothing is the three-point smoothing level, and the smoothing algorithm is the point average smoothing method; the smoothing level of the third smoothing in step S2 is the five-point smoothing level, and the smoothing algorithm is the point average smoothing method; the smoothing level of the first smoothing in step S3 is the three-point smoothing level, and the smoothing algorithm is the point average smoothing method.
[0014] As a further limitation: the difference between adjacent contour lines on the target layer structure map is greater than or equal to 10 meters.
[0015] As a further limitation: the meshing parameters in step S1 are set as follows: the mesh spacing is X meters and the search radius is Y meters; the meshing parameters in step S2 are set as follows: the mesh spacing is 4X meters and the search radius is 2Y meters; the meshing parameters in step S3 are set as follows: the mesh spacing is 10X meters and the search radius is 5Y meters.
[0016] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention, due to the adoption of the above-described solution, compared with the prior art, are as follows:
[0017] This invention provides a structural ridge identification method that identifies and characterizes structural ridges based on structural maps. This method is unaffected by the quality of seismic data, has wider adaptability, and clearly defines the grid increment, search radius, and number of grid filters, making it more operable. A three-step structural map smoothing method is used to obtain structural maps reflecting low-amplitude structures and structural backgrounds. By subtracting these two maps, the distribution of remaining structures is obtained, leading to the distribution of structural ridges. This reflects the distribution of dominant hydrocarbon migration channels and the distribution of micro-amplitude structures, providing important reference for the prediction of remaining hydrocarbons.
[0018] This invention is applicable to the identification of structural ridges. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Example: A method for constructing ridge recognition
[0028] A method for constructing ridge recognition includes the following steps:
[0029] S1. Select the target layer structure map. The difference between adjacent contour lines in the target layer structure map is 10 meters. Grid the target layer structure map using the least squares algorithm or the distance weighted algorithm. The grid spacing is 50 meters and the search radius is 1000 meters. Smooth the map once using the point average smoothing method with three-point smoothing level according to the grid spacing and search radius to obtain structure map A.
[0030] S2. Grid the construction map A with a grid spacing of 200 meters and a search radius of 2000 meters. Then, use the point average smoothing method with five smoothing levels to perform three smoothing operations according to the grid spacing and search radius to obtain the construction map B.
[0031] S3. Grid the construction map B with a grid spacing of 500 meters and a search radius of 5000 meters. Then, use the point average smoothing method with three-point smoothing level to smooth the map once according to the grid spacing and search radius to obtain the construction map C.
[0032] S4. Subtract construction diagram C from construction diagram A to obtain the remaining construction diagram after removing the construction trend, as follows: Figure 4 As shown;
[0033] S5. Assign 0 values to the regions with negative values in the remaining structural map to obtain the structural ridge distribution map, such as... Figure 5 As shown.
[0034] The superimposed diagram of the structural ridge and oil testing in this embodiment is shown below. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the oil and gas enrichment areas are all distributed on the structural ridges and extend along the structural ridges. The structural ridges have a strong control effect on oil and gas enrichment.
