Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of shear wave exploration technology, specifically a design method for a shear wave observation system. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing total consumption of natural gas, China's total imports of natural gas have been rising year by year. To discover more natural gas resources, reduce dependence on imports, and ensure energy security, my country has gradually increased its efforts in natural gas exploration. Sanhu is the main gas-producing area in the Qaidam Basin, where several gas-bearing structures have been discovered. Years of exploration practice and research results indicate that the target subsurface strata in this area are mainly Quaternary Q... 1+2 The loose sandstone has a low tectonic amplitude structure, with the target layer buried at a depth of 800-2000m. The gas layer is relatively shallow. Due to the influence of gas absorption and attenuation, the P-wave profile generally exhibits seismic anomalies of "low velocity, low frequency and in-phase axis pull-down", resulting in the low amplitude structure of the "gas cloud area" not being imaged.

[0003] Seismic exploration in this area began in the 1990s, with subsequent explorations including conventional 2D, high-resolution 2D, high-precision 2D, and high-density 3D. However, single-wave P-wave exploration failed to identify gas-bearing anomalies and perform low-amplitude structural imaging. In 2006 and 2009, converted-wave 2D and 3D explorations were attempted, significantly improving the quality of low-amplitude structural data in the "gas cloud region." However, converted-wave data could not fully reconstruct the low-amplitude structures of the complex "gas cloud region," and substantial breakthroughs in natural gas exploration were still not achieved. In 2017, BGP Inc. developed and manufactured three new shear-wave controlled seismic sources, the BV300S, and conducted 800km high-density wide-line 2D P-wave and S-wave acquisitions in the area. This yielded high-quality broadband S-wave data for the first time, making significant progress in delineating the boundaries of the low-amplitude structural "gas cloud region" and reconstructing the structures within it. In 2019, BGP Inc. further improved and upgraded the performance of the shear-wave controlled seismic source, manufacturing six EV56S units, and conducted nine-component P-wave and S-wave 3D acquisition experiments and feasibility studies in the area. In 2019, Qinghai Oilfield Company deployed a nine-component P- and S-wave three-dimensional full-coverage system covering an area of ​​82.08 km² in this region. 2 The project was implemented by the Qinghai Geophysical Exploration Department of BGP Inc., marking the world's first industrial application of nine components for both P-wave and S-wave. With the large-scale promotion of P-wave and S-wave exploration technologies, substantial progress has been made in S-wave acquisition technology, accumulating considerable experience. The design of S-wave observation systems is a crucial aspect of S-wave acquisition construction; however, most current observation systems are designed for P-waves and converted waves, and observation systems designed specifically for pure S-waves have not yet been reported.
