[0041] The exemplary implementation will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] It should be noted that the example implementation can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples set forth herein.

[0043] Fractures, as important reservoir spaces in shale oil and gas, are crucial not only for evaluating geological sweet spots but also for drilling and fracturing in shale oil and gas reservoirs. Fracture development is controlled by multiple factors, making prediction and identification challenging. However, as a key indicator for oil and gas exploration and development, research on its seismic prediction has attracted widespread attention from scholars. Studies show that fractures increase rock permeability and provide space for oil and gas reservoirs, enabling shale formations to successfully produce oil and gas during fracturing. The development direction, degree of development, and distribution characteristics of shale fractures are influenced by tectonic movements, stress fields, and the mechanical properties of the rock. Currently, methods using seismic data to estimate fractures have become an important means of predicting underground fractures. Due to the presence of fractures, when seismic waves pass through fractured areas in shale formations, the seismic response characteristics are more complex compared to unfractured rocks. This is because the propagation velocity and amplitude of seismic waves change in the fractured medium.

[0044] With the acquisition of wide-azimuth seismic data, the development of fractures leads to azimuth anisotropy in earthquakes. This variation in the velocity and amplitude of P-waves with azimuth is called the AVAZ variation characteristic, which can be effectively used for fracture detection. Fracture earthquake prediction typically relies on a reasonable fracture medium parameterization theory. Currently, commonly used equivalent models of fracture rock physics include Hudson's (1980, 1981) model and Schoenberg's (1980) linear slip model. The combination of these two models can effectively quantify the relationship between fracture parameters and anisotropy parameters. Based on this, numerous published papers have derived seismic reflection coefficient equations based on various fracture medium parameterizations, such as Tsvankin's HTI anisotropic fracture reflection coefficient equation, Rüger's P-wave reflection coefficient equation in azimuthally anisotropic media, and Gray's AVAZ calculation method for fracture azimuth and density based on HTI media. However, because the anisotropic reflection coefficient equations usually involve many parameters to be inverted, the inversion robustness is poor, and there are many possible solutions.

[0045] The inventors discovered that the geometric properties of earthquakes have become one of the most powerful interpretative tools, effectively reflecting some of the seismic characteristics of fractured shale media. Attributes such as curvature, coherence, and dip angle can effectively characterize the geometric features of fractures. Curvature, a mathematical algorithm used to describe the degree of bending deformation of a stratum, is a mathematically effective means of identifying fracture development characteristics in areas with well-developed fractures. Coherence reflects the similarity of strata; because fractures disrupt the continuity of strata, differences in seismic phase axes also occur. Seismic coherence properties can also be effectively used to identify areas with well-developed fractures.

[0046] This disclosure proposes a multi-scale seismic prediction method for shale fractures considering seismic geometric attribute constraints. It effectively combines the response of seismic curvature, coherence, and other attribute parameters to fracture development, further constraining the pre-stack seismic inversion of fracture parameters to reduce the ambiguity of fracture parameter inversion and improve the accuracy of the inversion results. First, seismic geometric attributes are calculated using the Gradient Structure Tensor (GST) algorithm. Second, the obtained GST curvature and coherence attributes are probabilistically transformed and used as prior constraints for fracture parameter inversion. Finally, based on Bayesian probabilistic seismic inversion, the prior distribution of fracture parameters is established, and through a probabilistic model of seismic geometric attributes, based on anisotropic elastic impedance in different azimuths, the posterior probability distribution of fracture parameters is estimated and inverted for prediction, improving the accuracy of shale fracture prediction and description.

[0047] The following detailed description of this exemplary implementation method is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0048] Figure 1 This invention discloses a flowchart of a shale multi-scale fracture seismic prediction method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, the shale multi-scale fracture seismic prediction method includes steps S110-S150.

[0049] In S110, seismic coherence properties are calculated based on post-stack seismic data using the Gradient Structure Tensor (GST) algorithm.

[0050] In some embodiments, the gradient structure GST algorithm is used to calculate the geometric properties of earthquakes, including earthquake curvature and earthquake coherence properties.

[0051] In S120, probabilistic inference theory is used to probabilistically transform seismic coherence properties and obtain the prior distribution of fracture parameters.

[0052] Using probabilistic inference theory, we probabilistically transform seismic coherence and curvature properties to establish a priori distribution of fracture development.

[0053] In S130, the azimuth elastic impedance characterized by fracture parameters is determined based on azimuth seismic data and well logging data.

[0054] In S140, based on the prior distribution of crack parameters and the azimuth elastic impedance characterized by crack parameters, an objective functional of crack parameters constrained by seismic geometric properties is established.

[0055] Using a Bayesian inversion framework, and based on the model-parameterized elastic impedance equation of the fracture medium, a fracture parameter seismic prediction objective functional constrained by seismic geometric properties is established.

[0056] In S150, the Bayesian direct inversion framework is used to find the optimal solution for the objective functional and obtain the prediction results.

[0057] In some embodiments, determining the azimuth elastic impedance characterized by fracture parameters based on azimuth seismic data and well logging data can be achieved by using azimuth seismic data to obtain azimuth elastic impedance; using well logging data to obtain rock physical analysis; and obtaining the azimuth elastic impedance characterized by fracture parameters based on azimuth elastic impedance and rock physical analysis.

[0058] In some embodiments, the Bayesian direct inversion framework is used to optimally solve the objective functional to obtain the prediction result. Alternatively, Bayesian inference and maximizing the probability solution can be used to perform pre-stack seismic direct inversion of crack parameters constrained by seismic geometric properties to obtain the final prediction result.

[0059] The embodiments disclosed herein are based on pre-stack seismic direct inversion of fracture parameters constrained by seismic geometric attributes. Compared with indirect prediction methods for fracture parameters without seismic geometric attribute constraints, the prediction accuracy is significantly improved. The method has been tested and applied in typical areas, providing effective geophysical technical support for shale oil and gas exploration and development.

[0060] Figure 2 This invention discloses a flowchart of a shale multi-scale fracture seismic prediction method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, seismic GST geometric coherence attributes are extracted from post-stack seismic data and probabilistically analyzed to obtain the prior distribution of fracture parameters; azimuth elastic impedance is obtained from azimuth seismic data, and a direct relationship between azimuth elastic impedance and fracture parameters is established; the prior distribution of fracture parameters formed by seismic geometric attributes is added to the objective functional of fracture parameter elastic impedance inversion; and a Bayesian direct inversion framework is used to achieve seismic inversion prediction of fracture parameters based on seismic geometric attribute constraints. The fracture density is further calculated using the obtained fracture inversion parameters.

[0061] In the above embodiments, the geometric coherence attributes of seismic GST are extracted using post-stack seismic data and probabilistically analyzed to obtain the prior distribution of fracture parameters, specifically including:

[0062] The GST algorithm used to extract coherence attributes is a third-generation coherence algorithm based on intrinsic structure, capable of scanning seismic data by dip or azimuth. First, autocorrelation and cross-correlation are performed on the columns of the sample vectors; at this point, the elements of the covariance matrix can be represented as:

[0063] (4)

[0064] Elements of the covariance matrix It calculates the cross-correlation between two vertical seismic waveforms within the calculation window.

[0065] The eigenvalue and eigenvector decomposition of the covariance matrix can be written as:

[0066] (5)

[0067] in, For feature vectors, The eigenvalues ​​corresponding to the eigenvectors. Then the coherence value can be expressed as:

[0068] (6)

[0069] in, This represents the cross-correlation between two vertical seismic waveforms within the calculation window. The smaller the coherence value, the greater the probability of the presence of cracks. Therefore, the probability model for cracks occurring in the entire three-dimensional volume can be equivalently obtained as:

[0070] (7)

[0071] in, This is the coherence value.

[0072] In the above embodiments, azimuth elastic impedance is obtained using azimuth seismic data, and a direct relationship between azimuth elastic impedance and fracture parameters is established, specifically including:

[0073] The relationship between the linear sliding model parameters and the Thomsen anisotropy parameters can be expressed as:

[0074] (8)

[0075] in, Indicates the normal weakness of the crack. Indicates the tangential weakness of the crack. It is the crack density. It is the square of the reciprocal of the ratio of the P-wave velocity to the S-wave velocity in the fractured rock. Therefore, the fracture density can be expressed by the parameters of the linear slip model as:

[0076] (9)

[0077] Using equation (9), the crack density can be calculated by retrieving the elastic parameters of the cracked rock and the parameters of the linear slip model from the seismic data.

[0078] The method for inverting azimuthal elastic impedance based on fracture density in shale reservoirs is based on a normalized approximation formula for azimuthal anisotropic elastic impedance:

[0079] (10)

[0080] Take the logarithm of both sides of equation (10):

[0081] (11)

[0082] in, It is the longitudinal wave impedance. It is the transverse wave impedance. Indicates the angle of incidence of the earthquake. It is the azimuth angle. The coefficients in the formula are expressed as follows:

[0083] (12)

[0084] (13)

[0085] (14)

[0086] (15)

[0087] To solve for the physical parameters of the fractured rock, it can be seen from formula (11) that seismic data from more than four azimuths are required:

[0088] (16)

[0089] Using formula (16), we have established a deterministic relationship between fractured rock parameters and azimuth elastic impedance, which can be simplified into matrix form:

[0090] (17)

[0091] In the formula, Corresponding to the azimuth elastic impedance on the left side of equation (16), It is a coefficient matrix. These are the rock physical parameters to be solved.

[0092] Figure 3 The results of elastic impedance inversion are shown in different orientations.

[0093] In the above embodiments, the prior distribution of crack parameters formed by seismic geometric properties is added to the objective functional of crack parameter elastic impedance inversion, specifically including:

[0094] With the constraints of the crack occurrence probability model, and using the Bayesian inversion theory framework, the posterior probability distribution of the crack parameters can be written as:

[0095] (18)

[0096] in, It is the mean. It is covariance. It's the weight.

[0097] The crack occurrence probability model converted from seismic coherence values ​​can be added as a constraint term to the inversion objective function. The objective function can then be written in the form of coherence constraints and model constraints:

[0098] (19)

[0099] in , These are the inversion weighting coefficients. For parametric models.

[0100] The final objective functional of the crack parameters can then be expressed as:

[0101] (20)

[0102] In the above embodiments, the Bayesian direct inversion framework is used to find the optimal solution for the objective functional, thereby realizing the seismic inversion prediction of crack parameters based on seismic geometric attribute constraints and obtaining the final inversion result.

[0103] Figure 4 This paper presents a two-dimensional seismic profile for pre-stack seismic prediction of fracture parameters based on seismic geometric attribute constraints, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed technique and improving the stability and accuracy of multi-parameter fracture prediction.

[0104] Figure 5 This figure compares the two-dimensional fracture density prediction results considering seismic geometric constraints with those predicted by conventional methods to verify the accuracy of the proposed method. The well string in the figure shows the interpreted fracture density results, which show a high degree of agreement with the two-dimensional fracture density prediction results considering seismic geometric constraints, but a poor agreement with the results predicted by conventional methods. This further demonstrates that the proposed technology is more advanced than conventional methods and can better predict fractures in shale oil and gas reservoirs based on seismic conditions.

[0105] Furthermore, although the steps of the method in this disclosure are described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in that specific order, or that all the steps shown must be performed to achieve the desired result.

[0106] In some embodiments, certain steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step for execution, and / or one step may be broken down into multiple steps for execution.
