Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas exploration technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus and equipment for classifying and detecting complex fractures based on frequency division fusion. Background Technology

[0002] As oil and gas exploration becomes increasingly sophisticated, the industry has shifted from early exploration of large structural traps to exploration of concealed traps. Traps associated with low-level or secondary faults are important targets for exploration of concealed traps. In addition, low-level and secondary faults have a significant effect on reservoir modification. Therefore, the requirements for precise identification of low-level or secondary faults are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] However, because low-level or secondary faults have small vertical displacements, they do not exhibit obvious seismic axis displacement or torsion characteristics in most existing seismic data. Traditional methods for identifying seismic axis displacement cannot identify such faults.

[0004] Currently, mature fracture identification and interpretation technologies are mainly aimed at large fractures (with obvious faulting along the seismic axis) and can well meet the requirements for identifying and interpreting large fractures. However, there is still room for improvement in the interpretation and identification of secondary fractures (without obvious faulting along the seismic axis), and a technology capable of classifying and interpreting complex fractures has not yet been developed. The detailed interpretation of complex fractures, especially secondary fractures, is a crucial step in the exploration and risk assessment of hidden traps. Currently, there is no very effective method for classifying and identifying complex fractures, which restricts in-depth oil and gas exploration in areas with complex fracture development.

[0005] In view of this, in view of the difficulties in identifying and interpreting multi-level fractures, there is an urgent need to propose a complex fracture classification detection method based on frequency division fusion that can accurately, intuitively and efficiently identify secondary fractures that have not undergone obvious dislocation along the seismic axis, and facilitate clear and rapid interpretation of the identification results, so as to solve the above problems.

This method utilizes Marr wavelet transform to first extract three single-frequency volumes (low, medium, and high frequencies); then, it employs the C3 algorithm based on feature structure to process each of the three single-frequency volumes, obtaining single-frequency fracture detection data volumes; finally, it fuses and displays the three low, medium, and high single-frequency fracture detection data volumes using CMY, achieving graded detection of complex fractures. This method can effectively identify complex fractures and display them in a graded manner, which is of great significance for the identification and risk assessment of secondary fracture-related traps.

[0102] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0103] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this invention proposes a method for complex fault classification detection based on Marr wavelet transform to extract single-frequency volumes, perform C3 coherence calculation, and then use CMY fusion display to achieve rapid and efficient classification interpretation of complex faults. The principle of this method is based on the fact that seismic data volumes with different dominant frequencies reflect geological information at different subsurface scales. High-frequency seismic data volumes correspond to small-scale geological information and faults with small displacements; medium-frequency seismic data volumes correspond to medium-scale geological information and faults with small displacements; and low-frequency seismic data volumes correspond to large-scale geological information and faults with large displacements. Based on 3D seismic data and well distribution data, this method fully utilizes the high similarity between Marr wavelets and Ricker wavelets in the time and frequency domains. Marr wavelets are used to simulate Ricker wavelets to classify the seismic data into three single-frequency seismic volumes with physical meaning: low, medium, and high. Then, the C3 coherence algorithm, which has strong noise resistance based on feature structures, is used to perform coherence calculation on the series of frequency-divided seismic data volumes to obtain three single-frequency fault detection data volumes: low, medium, and high. Finally, CMY fusion display technology is used to classify and detect the faults.

[0104] The specific explanation is as follows:

[0105] (I) Extraction of single-frequency seismic data volume using Marr wavelet:

[0106] The Marr wavelet is the second derivative of the Gaussian function. The formula for the generating function of the Marr wavelet is as follows:

[0107] Time domain:

[0108] Frequency domain:

[0109] In the Marr wavelet time-domain expression, t is used... The substitution is essentially the expression for the Ricker wavelet; therefore, the Marr wavelet exhibits high similarity to the Ricker wavelet in both the frequency and time domains, possessing strong physical significance. Furthermore, the Marr wavelet is a real-number wavelet, making it simple and fast to compute. The Marr wavelet satisfies both the allowable conditions of wavelet transform and possesses good local properties. Therefore, the Marr wavelet can be used to simulate the Ricker wavelet for frequency division of seismic records. Figure 2 The image shows the spectral distribution of Ricker wavelets with different dominant frequencies, and further comparisons are made. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As can be seen, the spectra of Ricker wavelets with dominant frequencies of 20, 40, and 80 Hz are very similar to the spectra of Ricker wavelets with different dominant frequencies simulated using Marr wavelet frequency division. Therefore, using Marr wavelets to simulate Ricker wavelets of different frequencies for frequency division of seismic signals results in signals with clear physical meaning, which is not achieved by other wavelet frequency division methods.

[0110] like Figure 5 As shown, the Marr wavelet is simple to construct and faster than other wavelet transforms, even faster than the S-transform, while other matching pursuit methods are extremely slow. Wavelet transforms have the advantage of variable time windows, and their accuracy for low-frequency and high-frequency signals is far superior to the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT). The Marr wavelet can simulate the Ricker wavelet to divide the seismic record into frequencies; the frequency-divided record is the seismic response of the frequency-divided wavelet, equivalent to a deconvolution, effectively improving the resolution accuracy of geological bodies.

[0111] When using Marr wavelets for frequency division, if the division is strictly performed according to the harmonic relationship, it exhibits strict reversibility. Adding the divided signals together can recover the original signal with minimal computational error. Furthermore, wavelet transform for time-frequency analysis allows for analysis at different scales for different frequencies, demonstrating excellent frequency accuracy in the low-frequency range and good time-division capability in the high-frequency range. Because wavelet transform has a variable time window characteristic, both low-frequency and high-frequency information possess high reliability.

[0112] Wavelet transform-based seismic time-frequency analysis primarily generates discrete-frequency energy volumes, which are generated by sliding along a short time window to produce a series of discrete-frequency tuned-amplitude data. Vertically, this data volume is the same as conventional data volumes, consisting entirely of time, but each generated data volume contains only a single frequency component. First, spectral analysis is performed based on the original seismic data to determine the effective frequency band of the seismic event. Then, within the effective frequency band, a series of single-frequency seismic data volumes are generated, such as... Figure 6As shown in the figure, the profile results of different single-frequency seismic data volumes extracted using Marr wavelet frequency division can be seen. By comparing and optimizing different single-frequency seismic data volumes, three single-frequency seismic data volumes—low, medium, and high—that best reflect the faults in the study area are extracted. Then, the fault profile is tracked on these three single-frequency volumes.

[0113] The calculation process is as follows:

[0114] (1) Input the raw earthquake data to be calculated.

[0115] (2) Select the line range of the data volume to be calculated, output the time range and time type of the data volume, or input it according to the layer method and set the time of layer up and down drift.

[0116] (3) Wavelet transform calculation of frequency division body (wavelet):

[0117] Input the time-frequency volume, which is generated from the original seismic volume through time-frequency spectrum calculation;

[0118] A time-frequency attribute volume is generated based on this time-frequency volume;

[0119] When using the frequency spectrum attribute, enter the maximum / minimum frequency to be calculated. This parameter is given by the data volume parameter, which specifies the start and end of the frequency. The more sampling frequencies, the greater the computational load. For data with a small frequency band, it is best to make appropriate adjustments.

[0120] The frequency interval determines the number of frequency dividers generated. For example, inputting a starting frequency of 10, an ending frequency of 30, and a frequency interval of 10 will produce frequency dividers of 10Hz, 20Hz, and 30Hz. Figure 7 The image shows the calculation interface for wavelet transform to calculate the frequency division volume.

[0121] (II) Calculation of single-frequency fracture detection data volume:

[0122] Frequency domain fracture detection technology has evolved from the first generation based on coherence calculation (based on cross-correlation) and the second generation based on similarity calculation (based on tilted superposition), to the third generation based on discontinuity detection of the intrinsic structure of the data covariance matrix. Let's assume that an analysis channel consisting of N sample points within a time window, and the data from J channels within the window (each channel being a unit of channel), are arranged together to form a data matrix:

[0123]

[0124] Among them, u ij This represents the amplitude value of the i-th seismic wave on the j-th track. The n-th row of matrix U is... Analyzing the nth amplitude value on each seismic trace within the body, the variance matrix of the nth sample is:

[0125]

[0126] Therefore, the covariance matrix formed by the covariances of each element in the channel within the coherence analysis window is:

[0127]

[0128] Suppose that the covariance matrix M has J eigenvalues ​​λ1, λ2, ..., λJ ordered from largest to smallest, and the corresponding eigenvectors are V1, V2, ..., VJ. Then the formula for calculating the coherence volume based on the feature structure is:

[0129]

[0130] In the formula, λj represents the eigenvalues ​​of the covariance matrix of the seismic data within the calculation window. Theoretically, the third-generation algorithm C3 based on eigenvalues ​​is superior to the second-generation algorithm C2 based on multi-channel cross-correlation and the algorithm C1 based on two-channel cross-correlation. This is mainly because when the signal level is higher than the added Gaussian noise level, the noise can be removed from the coherence calculation, and this method can provide the best lateral resolution in noisy data. Therefore, C3 has great application potential due to its strong noise resistance and relatively high resolution, but its computational cost is relatively high.

[0131] Frequency domain fracture detection technology utilizes multichannel similarity to transform 3D data volumes into correlation coefficient data volumes. Through refined fracture detection processing of the 3D data volume, the similarity of local seismic waveforms is compared (points with lower coherence values ​​correlate better with discontinuities in reflected wave waveforms). This allows for a more intuitive identification of geological phenomena related to fractures, cracks, sedimentary facies, lithological changes, and even fluid variations. As a state-of-the-art coherent algorithm, frequency domain fracture detection technology can construct a covariance matrix from multichannel seismic data and apply multichannel eigenvalue decomposition techniques to determine the correlation between multichannel data. Its computational characteristics include high resolution based on coherent calculations of 3D seismic data volumes, and it is a coherent algorithm with dip and azimuth angles. On horizontal slices of the fracture detection data volume, it can reveal geological phenomena such as faults, lithological body edges, and unconformities, providing valuable information for solving specific problems in oil and gas exploration.

[0132] The calculation process is as follows:

[0133] (1) Input data volume. You can choose a conventional seismic data volume or an attribute data volume, such as instantaneous phase or colored inversion data volume. Among them, the three single-frequency seismic data volumes of low, medium and high selected from the series of single-frequency volumes obtained in step (1) are named V respectively. 低频体 V 中频体 and V 高频体 , which serves as the input data for fracture detection.

[0134] (2) Select the input azimuth data and dip data volume of the formation.

[0135] (3) Select the main frequency for fracture detection. If no main frequency is entered, perform conventional full-frequency coherent processing. If different main frequencies are entered, perform coherent processing according to different main frequencies.

[0136] (4) Select the time window width for coherent calculation. The higher the main frequency, the narrower the time window. Generally, it is 1 / 2 to 1 of the wavelength of the seismic data after frequency division.

[0137] (5) Select the method for calculating coherence, namely the third-generation coherence with stratigraphic dip angle. Calculate the plane width.

[0138] (6) Output single-frequency fracture detection data volume V 低频体-断裂检测体 V 中频体-断裂检测体 and V 高频体-断裂检 Body measurement.

[0139] (III) CMY fusion for fracture grading:

[0140] The three colors CMY represent the low, medium, and high frequency ranges, respectively, where C represents cyan, M represents magenta, and Y represents yellow.

[0141] The principle of CMY color fusion is to normalize the three input values ​​V1, V2, and V3 to a value range of 0-255, and then assign them to three different primary colors with corresponding light intensities A1, A2, and A3, respectively. Mixing A1, A2, and A3 yields a new color. The primary colors for CMY fusion are cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y), with light intensities Ac, Am, and Ay, respectively. The resulting accent color is black (all three primary colors have a light intensity of 255). CMY fusion of low, medium, and high single-frequency fracture detection data volumes provides excellent differentiation and characterization of complex fractures.

[0142] The low-frequency, mid-frequency, and high-frequency fracture detection data volumes (V) obtained in step (II) 低频体 - 断裂检测体 V 中频体-断裂检测体 and V 高频体-断裂检测体 The values ​​were normalized to the range of 0-255 to obtain three normalized single-frequency fracture detection data volumes: V 低频体--断裂检测体归一化 V 中频体-断裂检测体归一化 and V 高频体-断裂检测体归一化 The normalization formula is as follows:

[0143]

[0144] in, This refers to the maximum value calculated in a single-frequency fracture detection data volume.

[0145] Three data volumes (V) normalized to the 0-255 range 低频体--断裂检测体归一化 V 中频体-断裂检测体归一化 and V 高频体-断裂检测体归一化 Ac, Am, and Ay, respectively, serve as the light intensities of the three primary colors—cyan, magenta, and yellow—when CMY is blended for display, i.e., Ac = V 低频体-断裂检测体归一化 Am = V 中频体-断裂检测体归一化 And Ay = V 高频体-断裂检测体归一化 The assigned values ​​Ac, Am, and Ay are the coefficients of the CMY fusion display basis function, ultimately used to display the CMY values. Finally, by mixing Ac, Am, and Ay, CMY fusion display can be performed.

[0146] Based on the CMY fusion results, the colors are interpreted according to their respective meanings. According to the CMY fusion principle, cyan represents larger-scale faults; magenta represents medium-scale faults; yellow represents small-scale faults or fractures; blue is the result of low- and mid-frequency fusion, reflecting information on larger and medium-scale faults; green is the result of low- and high-frequency fusion, reflecting large- and small-scale faults; red is the result of mid- and high-frequency fusion, reflecting fractures or fractures with smaller displacements; black is the result of low-, mid-, and high-frequency fusion, representing the development of large-scale, mid-scale, and small-scale faults (or fractures).

[0148] The present invention also provides a complex fracture grading detection device based on frequency division fusion, the device including a processor and a memory; wherein, the memory is used to store machine-executable instructions; the processor is used to read and execute the machine-executable instructions stored in the memory to realize the aforementioned complex fracture grading detection method based on frequency division fusion.

[0149] The following detailed description of the application of the complex fracture grading detection method based on frequency division fusion of the present invention is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0150] Example 1

[0151] The present invention was used to perform graded detection of complex faults in the Ecuadorian slope zone, achieving ideal results and providing a new solution for fine exploration of the study area.

[0152] The example is located in a block in South America, where deep layers exhibit NNE-trending rift structures and extensional faults. The faults develop along near-north-south trending low-convex zones, differing from common depression-controlling faults and representing regulating faults within a "double-fault" structure. In the middle and shallow layers, monoclines and compressive faults develop with a "high in the northwest, low in the southeast" pattern. The overall faults dip eastward, exhibit strong segmentation, and are arranged in an en echelon pattern, with linear structures developed on both sides.

[0153] The cross-section shows a normal fault at the bottom and a reverse fault at the top, indicating a normal-reverse fault evolution. Before the Cretaceous, it was a tensional normal fault, but it reactivated under compression at the end of the Cretaceous, forming a reverse fault with complex fracture characteristics. The cross-section mostly shows a vertical fault profile. It is difficult to accurately characterize the fault using conventional full-band seismic data, and conventional coherent methods have poor fault identification performance on a plane. Therefore, a targeted frequency domain fault detection technique using CMY fusion to identify multi-level faults is used to address this problem.

[0154] Spectral analysis results of seismic data within the instance block, such as Figure 8 As shown, its dominant frequency is 31.5Hz, and its effective frequency band is 5-60Hz. The seismic data was decomposed into three single-frequency volumes: 20Hz, 30Hz, and 40Hz.

[0155] Comparative analysis revealed that different single-frequency data could reflect seismic data information from different perspectives. The 20Hz single-frequency volume mainly reflected large-scale stratigraphic information, while some small stratigraphic details were ignored; the 40Hz single-frequency volume seemed to have a higher visual resolution than the original data, but the accuracy of fault identification was not significantly improved. This is because excessively increasing the frequency may lead to a decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio; the 30Hz single-frequency volume significantly improved the accuracy of fault identification. Figure 9 The image shows seismic profiles of the study area across the entire frequency band and at different frequencies in single-frequency bodies. The faults on the original earthquake on the left are rather chaotic, with virtually no visible fault features. However, on the 30Hz single-frequency body, the distribution of several small faults is very clear, which greatly helps in interpreting the stratigraphic structure of these small faults.

[0156] The C3 coherent algorithm was used to calculate the fracture detection data volumes for the three single-frequency data volumes mentioned above. For the primary research target layer, slices along the layer were extracted for each single-frequency fracture detection volume. For example... Figure 10 As shown, the comparison reveals that the overall fault plane distribution characteristics exhibited by coherent and conventional coherent data in different frequency bands are quite similar, but each has its own distinct detailed features. The 20Hz single-frequency attribute mainly shows some larger faults with longer extensions; the 30Hz single-frequency attribute, due to its proximity to the dominant frequency of the original seismic data, is quite similar to the original data and mainly reflects medium-scale faults; the 40Hz single-frequency attribute reflects richer fault development characteristics and provides a clearer depiction of the details of smaller-scale faults.

[0157] To address the differences in fault resolution across different scales caused by various single-frequency fault detection methods, and to effectively utilize seismic frequency information and rationally display the dominant frequency of each sample point, cyan, magenta, and yellow are used to represent the frequency-divided fault detection information at 20Hz, 30Hz, and 40Hz, respectively. The results of the frequency-divided energy comparison are then displayed using color overlay.

[0158] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 The diagram shows the cross-sectional and planar views of the CMY-fused fracture classification in the study area. According to the CMY fusion principle, blue represents the result of low-frequency and mid-frequency fusion; low-frequency reflects larger-scale information. Since the fractures in this study area generally have small displacements, the blue distribution is relatively limited. Green represents the result of low- and high-frequency fusion, reflecting both early faults with larger displacements and later faults with smaller displacements. Red represents the result of mid- and high-frequency fusion, reflecting fractures or cracks with smaller displacements. The small fractures depicted are almost invisible in conventional coherence properties, indicating that higher-frequency band-based fracture detection can significantly improve the identification of small faults.

[0159] In summary, the method, apparatus, and equipment for grading and detecting complex fractures based on frequency fusion provided by this invention acquires three single-frequency seismic data volumes at low, medium, and high frequencies. Coherent calculations are performed on these single-frequency seismic data volumes to obtain three single-frequency fracture detection data volumes. These data volumes are then displayed using color fusion, and fracture grading is interpreted based on the meaning represented by each color. This achieves accurate, intuitive, and efficient identification of complex fractures, and facilitates grading interpretation of the identification results. The method fully utilizes the frequency domain attributes of 3D seismic data to respond to fractures at different scales, and combines this with the state-of-the-art C3 algorithm for fine edge detection and identification of secondary fractures, ultimately achieving graded detection of complex fractures. This is of great significance for fine exploration in mature exploration areas and the deployment of subsequent development wells.
