Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas exploration and relates to a method, system and device for three-dimensional geological modeling of surface outcrops in foreland basins. Background Technology

[0002] Foreland basins are complex basins formed under intense compressive stress, characterized by strong tectonic deformation, significant variations in strata and fault attitudes, and complex structural patterns. This makes seismic data acquisition and processing challenging, and structural modeling prone to multiple interpretations. The Tarim Basin, with its two foreland thrust belts—one in front of the southern Tianshan Mountains and the other in front of the Kunlun Mountains—has undergone multiple tectonic movements during the Caledonian, Hercynian, Indosinian, Yanshanian, and Himalayan orogenies, resulting in its current complex surface and subsurface structures. Structural interpretation based solely on seismic data struggles to establish structural models that accurately reflect the true geological structure, severely hindering the development of reasonable structural models and trap identification in the Tarim Basin's foreland region. Therefore, conducting multi-information 3D structural geological modeling of surface outcrops in complex foreland areas is crucial for establishing reasonable structural geological models and guiding oil and gas exploration in the region.

[0003] There are currently three main methods for structural modeling of complex foreland areas: (1) structural interpretation based on seismic data; (2) sandbox physical simulation and numerical simulation experiments based on geological models; and (3) surface modeling based on field outcrops.

[0004] The above three methods are commonly used structural modeling methods for complex foreland areas and have played an important role in oil and gas exploration. However, they still have limitations: (1) The quality of seismic data in foreland areas is generally not high, and most of them are two-dimensional seismic data. Seismic data interpretation methods are constrained by the quality of seismic data and the work experience and geological knowledge of the interpreters. They are highly ambiguous and it is difficult to verify the rationality of the structural model; (2) Sandbox physical simulation and numerical simulation methods of geological concept models are difficult to reflect the actual geological model deformation process. The simulation results are significantly different from the actual geological conditions; (3) The surface modeling method of outcrops in the field can only meet the geological structure modeling of shallow layers of the surface and cannot be perfectly combined with seismic data to solve the problem of underground structural modeling. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and provide a method, system and device for three-dimensional geological modeling of surface outcrops in foreland basins. By comprehensively integrating information, a reasonable geological model is established to guide the identification of traps and oil and gas exploration in complex foreland areas.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

Field outcrop geological investigation was carried out, and combined with the three-dimensional geological map, a comprehensive table of surface outcrop strata information along the acquisition path of the two-dimensional seismic data volume was established, including stratum name, stratum attitude, stratum contact relationship and fault attitude.

[0023] The 2D seismic data volume is processed to obtain 2D seismic profiles; specifically:

[0024] Import the 2D seismic data volume into 3DMove or Petrel modeling software, and the 2D seismic data volume will present a 2D seismic profile; the 2D seismic data volume is in sgy format.

Based on the calibration results, the 2D seismic profile is interpreted by stratigraphic tracing and fine interpretation of faults, and a deep underground geological structure model is established.

[0056] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0057] SeeFigure 1 and Figure 2 This invention discloses a three-dimensional geological modeling method for outcrops in foreland basins, comprising:

[0058] S101, simplify the geological map of the study area, and collect surface elevation data volume with the same range as the simplified geological map based on the simplified geological map.

[0059] The geological maps in the study area were simplified by inputting them into the Shuanghu software to clearly display the stratigraphic names, stratigraphic distribution, contact relationships between stratigraphic strata, distribution of faults, and distribution of unconformities.

[0060] Based on the simplified geological map, surface elevation data volumes consistent with the map's coverage were collected. Specifically, this involved downloading the geological data for the study area from the official website of the Geospatial Data Cloud. Figure Four The surface elevation data volume (x, y, z) within the range where the geodetic coordinates (x, y) of each angle are consistent.

[0061] S102, based on surface elevation data and simplified geological maps, constructs a three-dimensional geological map.

[0062] Import the downloaded surface elevation data volume into geological modeling software such as 3DMove or Petrel to generate a 3D data volume. Convert the geological map into an image format, and import the image into 3DMove or Petrel geological modeling software according to the actual geodetic coordinates (x, y) of the geological map of the study area. Then, overlay the 3D data volume and the geological map of the study area to form a 3D geological map; this allows the geological map to be displayed in three dimensions and to match the actual exposed strata on the surface.

[0063] S103 collects geological information on outcrops in the field and, in conjunction with three-dimensional geological maps, establishes a comprehensive table of surface outcrop strata information.

[0064] The geological map of the study area was opened using the Shuanghu software, and the geodetic coordinates (x, y) data points of the selected 2D seismic data volume acquisition path within the study area were imported as the path for field geological investigation. Detailed geological investigations of the outcrops were conducted along the field geological investigation path. Combined with the 3D geological map, a comprehensive table of surface outcrop stratigraphic information along the 2D seismic data volume acquisition path was established, including stratigraphic names, stratigraphic attitudes, stratigraphic contact relationships, and fault attitudes.

[0065] S104 processes the 2D seismic data volume to obtain 2D seismic profiles, and overlays the 2D seismic profiles with the 3D geological map to cut out the area required for modeling.

[0066] Import the 2D seismic data volume into 3DMove or Petrel modeling software, and the 2D seismic data volume will present a 2D seismic profile; the 2D seismic data volume is in sgy format.

[0067] The two-dimensional seismic profile is overlaid with the three-dimensional geological map, and then the area required for modeling is cut out. Generally, it can be extended to the boundary of the geological map according to the needs of the study, in order to prepare for the establishment of a structural model reflecting the basin-mountain relationship.

[0068] S105, within the scope of model construction, based on the comprehensive table of surface exposed strata information, the surface calibration and seismic guide layers of the two-dimensional seismic profile are performed to establish a shallow geological structure model.

[0069] S106. Based on drilling data of the study area, drilling strata and 2D seismic profile strata are calibrated. Based on the calibration results, stratigraphic and fault interpretations are performed on the 2D seismic profiles, and a deep underground geological structure model is established.

[0070] Drilling data for the study area includes: electrical logging curves, lithology and stratigraphic data tables; based on the data from completed wells in the study area, well stratification and 2D seismic profile stratification are calibrated using sonic logging or VSP technology; based on the calibration results, stratigraphic tracing interpretation is performed on the 2D seismic profile, and detailed fault interpretation is performed on the 2D seismic profile to establish a deep underground geological structure model.

[0071] Based on the principle of area conservation, the deep underground geological structure model was restored layer by layer using the equilibrium profile restoration technology to verify its rationality.

[0072] S107. For areas where two-dimensional seismic data volumes are missing, a geological structure model of the missing areas is constructed based on geological maps and a comprehensive table of surface exposed strata information.

[0073] The areas where 2D seismic data volumes are missing are areas where seismic data were not acquired due to surface factors.

[0074] S108, based on shallow geological structure models, deep underground geological structure models, and geological structure models of areas lacking two-dimensional seismic data volumes, constructs a three-dimensional structural geological model of surface outcrops.

[0075] By using computer-aided 3D reconstruction technology and geological modeling software such as 3DMove or Petrel, shallow structural models, deep geological structural models, and geological structural models of areas lacking 2D seismic data volumes are integrated to form a 3D spatial structural geological model that combines surface outcrops, geological maps, and 2D seismic profiles. Ultimately, a reasonable multi-information 3D structural geological model of surface outcrops is established.

[0076] Specific embodiments of the present invention:

[0077] (1) Use Shuanghu software to simplify the geological map of Keping area, so that the geological map of Keping area only retains the stratigraphic name, distribution information of stratigraphic layers of different ages, stratigraphic attitude data (dip, dip angle), distribution information of stratigraphic unconformity, and fault distribution information.

[0078] (2) Open the geological map of Keping area using Shuanghu software and read the geological data. Figure Four Given the coordinates of the four corners a (x1, y1), b (x2, y2), c (x3, y3), and d (x4, y4), download the surface elevation data volume A (x, y, z) within the range corresponding to the coordinates of points a, b, c, and d from the official website of the Geospatial Data Cloud. Import the downloaded surface elevation data volume A (x, y, z) into geological modeling software such as 3DMove or Petrel to generate a 3D data volume. Use Shuanghu software to export the geological map of Keping area as an image (png or jpg format). Import this image into geological modeling software such as 3DMove or Petrel according to the coordinates of the four corners a, b, c, and d of the Keping area geological map. Overlay the 3D data volume with the geological map of Keping area to form a 3D geological map of Keping area, so that the geological map of Keping area can be displayed in three dimensions and match the actual exposed strata on the surface (see attached). Figure 3 ).

[0079] (3) Open the geological map of Keping area using Shuanghu software, and import the geodetic coordinates (x, y) data points of the selected two-dimensional seismic data volume (kp) acquisition path in Keping area as the path for field geological investigation in Keping area. Conduct detailed geological investigations of outcrops along the field geological investigation path in Keping area. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 a and Figure 4 b. Based on the three-dimensional geological map of Keping area, establish a comprehensive table of surface exposed strata information along the two-dimensional seismic data acquisition path, including strata name, strata attitude, strata contact relationship, and fault attitude.

[0080] (4) Import the two-dimensional seismic data volume kp (sgy format) into geological modeling software such as 3DMove or Petrel, so that the two-dimensional seismic data volume kp presents a two-dimensional seismic profile. Overlay the two-dimensional seismic profile with the three-dimensional geological map of Keping area, and then cut out the range required for modeling (generally, it can be extended to the boundary of the geological map according to the needs of the research, in order to prepare for the establishment of a structural model reflecting the basin-mountain relationship). Based on the comprehensive table of surface exposed strata information along the acquisition path of the two-dimensional seismic data volume kp, combined with the field geological survey in Keping area, connect the surface exposed strata with the seismic profile to achieve the organic unity of the surface exposed strata and the seismic strata, and establish a shallow geological structure model. Figure 4 c).

[0081] (5) Based on the data of the completed wells in the Keping area (electric logging curves, lithology, stratigraphic data tables, etc.), the drilling stratification and two-dimensional seismic profile stratification are calibrated using sonic logging or VSP technology. Based on the calibration results, the two-dimensional seismic profile is interpreted by stratigraphic tracking, and the two-dimensional seismic profile is interpreted by detailed fault interpretation to establish a deep underground geological structure model.

[0082] (6) Based on the principle of area conservation, the deep underground geological structure model of Keping area was restored and verified layer by layer using the equilibrium profile restoration technology to determine the rationality of the deep underground geological structure model.

[0083] (7) For areas in Keping where two-dimensional seismic data volumes are missing (areas where seismic data were not collected due to surface factors), a geological structure model of the areas where two-dimensional seismic data volumes are missing is established based on the geological map of Keping and the comprehensive table of surface exposed strata information. Figure 5 ).

[0084] (8) Using computer three-dimensional reconstruction technology, geological modeling software such as 3DMove or Petrel is used to integrate the shallow structural model, deep geological structural model and geological structural model of the area where two-dimensional seismic data volume is missing in the Keping area, forming a three-dimensional spatial structural geological model that combines surface outcrops, geological maps and two-dimensional seismic profiles. Figure 6 Finally, a reasonable three-dimensional structural geological model of the surface outcrops in the Keping area was established. Figure 7 ).

[0085] A multi-information 3D structural geological model of the Keping Uplift surface outcrops supports the study of traps in this area and the deployment of the Keping-1 risk well. Located on the northwestern edge of the Tarim Basin, the Keping Uplift belongs to the tectonically complex foreland region of the Tarim Basin, with low exploration levels, poor seismic data quality, and complex surface and subsurface structural deformations, resulting in multiple interpretations of the structural model. Using this method, the interpretation of the latest seismic data, combined with geological outcrop and drilling data, was used to establish a multi-information 3D structural geological model of the surface outcrops in this area. It was recognized that the structural deformation of the Keping Uplift is characterized by east-west segmentation and north-south zonation. The east-west trend exhibits a "seesaw" sedimentary characteristic. The central Piqiang Member has a thick Middle Cambrian salt layer, mainly developing subsalt thrust structures and oversalt reverse detachment structures; the eastern and western sections mainly develop basement involvement structures. The Carboniferous Keping fold-thrust zone contains a first-stage paleo-uplift structure. The Kangkelin Formation, deposited in the Late Carboniferous-Early Permian, exhibits filling and repair characteristics. The Piqiang Member has two phases of fault development. The early stage was caused by Hercynian faults, and the later stage by Himalayan faults. The Carboniferous paleo-uplift was controlled by the early faults. The salt-slip structures formed during the Himalayan stage played a role in sealing and preserving the underlying potential paleo-oil reservoirs. These findings spurred the drilling of the risky Ketan-1 well.
