[0003] Atomic elasticity (TI) media with a vertical axis of symmetry within rock strata is called volatile TI media. Studying seismic inversion methods under various conditions in VTI media plays a crucial role. In research on the influence of stress on changes in rock elastic properties, two main approaches exist: linear elasticity theory and nonlinear elasticity theory. Compared to traditional linear elasticity theory, nonlinear acoustoelasticity theory can introduce third-order elastic constants to describe the effect of stress on changes in rock elastic properties.

[0004] Previous studies have often neglected stress-induced anisotropy when considering the sources of seismic anisotropy. However, since geostress is ubiquitous underground, this neglect often leads to inaccuracies in anisotropy calculations. Summary of the Invention

[0093] Example 1

[0094] One embodiment of this disclosure provides a seismic inversion method based on horizontal uniaxial stress in VTI media, including:

[0095] Step 1: Construct the effective stiffness tensor of the VTI medium under horizontal uniaxial stress;

[0096] Step 2: Derive the equation for the reflection coefficient of PP waves in VTI medium under horizontal uniaxial stress using the parameters calculated from the corresponding effective stiffness tensor.

[0097] Step 3: Using the PP wave reflection coefficient equation, the synthetic seismic record is obtained. Based on the azimuth Fourier coefficient AVOA inversion method, the two fracture weakness parameters of the stress-free VTI background medium and the two anisotropic parameters induced by horizontal uniaxial stress are estimated.

[0098] Specifically, the effective elastic stiffness matrix of the VTI medium under horizontal uniaxial stress is described using nonlinear elasticity theory, and the effective stiffness tensor of the VTI medium affected by horizontal uniaxial stress is constructed.

[0099] Under the assumptions of weak anisotropy and low stress, the background crack parameters of stress-free VTI media are... and and the stress induced by horizontal uniaxial stress and Much smaller than the stress-free elastic parameter, the effective stiffness tensor of a VTI medium under horizontal uniaxial stress can be expressed as:

[0114] Where C 155 and C 456 These represent two third-order elastic constants that control the anisotropy of P-waves and S-waves caused by horizontal uniaxial stress.

[0115] As one embodiment, the process of deriving the PP wave reflection coefficient equation of VTI medium under horizontal uniaxial stress includes: VTI medium under horizontal uniaxial stress exhibits orthotropic anisotropy, and the PP wave reflection coefficient is expressed as the sum of two crack parameters of the stress-free VTI background medium and two anisotropic parameters induced by horizontal uniaxial stress.

[0116] Generally, VTI media under horizontal uniaxial stress exhibit orthogonal (ORT) anisotropy. AVOA inversion of VTI media under horizontal uniaxial stress has been extensively studied. This disclosure directly expresses the PP wave reflection coefficient as the sum of the two crack weaknesses ( ) in the stress-free VTI background medium. and ) and two horizontal uniaxial stress-induced anisotropy parameters ( and The sum of:

[0119] The reflection coefficient of PP waves related to horizontal uniaxial stress in VTI media is linearized, and the VTI media induced by horizontal uniaxial stress is represented as a scatterer embedded in a non-stress background. The linearized reflection coefficient of PP waves is expressed as a function of the scattering function using Born integral and fixed phase method.

[0120] Specifically, to linearize the PP wave reflection coefficient related to horizontal uniaxial stress in a VTI medium, the VTI medium induced by horizontal uniaxial stress is represented as a scatterer embedded in a stress-free background. This disclosure uses Born integrals and the fixed-phase method to express the linearized PP wave reflection coefficient as a function of the scattering function S(r0):

[0158] Figures 1 to 3 Sensitivity analyses of the zeroth, second, and fourth order Fourier coefficients are presented respectively. The results show that the zeroth order Fourier coefficient significantly affects the model parameter R.

[0160] To verify the azimuth Fourier coefficient AVOA inversion method for VTI media considering horizontal uniaxial stress, this disclosure first estimates the crack weakness points of stress-free VTI media using a synthesized azimuth angle dataset. and ) and uniaxial stress-induced P-wave and S-wave anisotropy parameters ( and ).

[0161] Figure 4 This is a noise-free synthetic azimuth seismic dataset with four azimuth angles of 22.5°, 67.5°, 112.5°, and 157.5°. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The estimated model parameters include P-wave and S-wave moduli, density, two crack weaknesses in the stress-free VTI background medium, and two uniaxial stress-induced anisotropy parameters, where P-wave and S-wave moduli, density, and crack weaknesses are estimated by zero-order Fourier coefficients, and P-wave and S-wave anisotropy parameters are estimated by second-order Fourier coefficients.

[0162] Subsequently, noise synthesis data were used to further verify the inversion method proposed in this invention. Figure 7 This is synthetic noise data with a signal-to-noise ratio of 5. Figure 8 and Figure 9 The results show the inversion of the model parameters. The study found that the density inversion accuracy was poor due to seismic noise, while other model parameters were largely consistent with the actual synthetic data. The inversion results of the noisy data demonstrate that the proposed AVOA inversion method for horizontal uniaxial stress VTI media based on azimuth Fourier coefficients is stable and effective.

[0163] To further demonstrate the applicability of the method, a real dataset obtained from the Sichuan Basin in China was used. When the target layer is a gas-bearing reservoir, the VTI anisotropy mainly comes from the weak bias characteristics of quartz grains on the bedding plane and the fine microcracks caused by grain contact.

[0164] This disclosure uses azimuth seismic data to perform the proposed inversion method. The actual data includes four azimuth angles (22.5°, 67.5°, 112.5°, and 157.5°) and three incident angles (15°, 22°, and 29°). Before inversion, the data is processed to ensure the true amplitude response and eliminate noise. Figure 10 , 11 12 and 13 are the azimuth seismic data used in this invention. The target reservoir is located at approximately 2.38s in trace 2479.

[0165] Figure 14 a, 14b, and 14c are the P-wave and S-wave moduli and densities estimated using the zero-order Fourier coefficients, respectively. However, the estimated isotropic parameters do not show obvious outliers at the target reservoir. Therefore, they cannot be used to characterize gas-bearing reservoirs.

[0166] Figure 15 a, 15b, and 15c represent the positive and tangential fracture weakness in the stress-free VTI background estimated using the zero-order Fourier coefficients. The inversion results show that the fracture weakness in the stress-free VTI background is relatively high at the target reservoir, but the anomaly is not significant. This is because the target reservoir is in a high-pressure environment, and the source of seismic anisotropy or azimuthal seismic response characteristics in this region mainly originates from stress-induced anisotropy, rather than inherent or fracture-induced anisotropy.

[0167] Figure 16 a, 16b, and 16c are the estimated values ​​of the P-wave and S-wave anisotropy parameters induced by uniaxial stress, respectively. It can be observed that, compared with the fracture weakness estimated under a stress-free VTI background, the horizontal uniaxial stress-induced anisotropy parameters inverted using the second-order Fourier coefficients show high anomalies at the target reservoir, because they represent stress-induced seismic anisotropy.

[0168] Calculation examples demonstrate that this inversion method can provide an alternative approach for characterizing VTI media that take into account the effects of horizontal uniaxial stress.

Based on the azimuth Fourier coefficient AVOA inversion method, it estimates two fracture weakness parameters and two anisotropic parameters induced by horizontal uniaxial stress in the stress-free VTI background medium.
