Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of seismic exploration technology, specifically relating to a method for characterizing exploration targets based on the integrated fusion of multidimensional data. Background Technology

[0002] As oil and gas exploration extends towards basin centers and deeper layers, predicting favorable exploration targets becomes increasingly challenging. Therefore, establishing a set of effective exploration technologies suitable for deep exploration is of paramount importance. Characterizing exploration targets is a crucial aspect of predicting favorable targets. The development of favorable targets is controlled by multiple factors, including paleogeography under tectonic control during the sedimentary period, as well as background geological conditions such as paleoenvironment, paleosource, and paleosedimentary systems. It is also controlled by subsequent tectonic alteration, diagenetic evolution, and hydrocarbon generation, migration, and enrichment. Therefore, precise characterization and accurate prediction of favorable exploration targets constitute a systematic project, requiring a comprehensive study integrating multiple factors such as structure, sequence stratigraphy, sedimentation, reservoir formation, and hydrocarbon accumulation. Figure 2 As shown.

[0003] However, due to disciplinary differences, in the process of characterizing and predicting favorable exploration targets, each factor is often analyzed separately, without a systematic characterization under an overall geological approach. In particular, as oil and gas exploration develops towards the center of depressions and the middle and deep layers, the exploration difficulty increases, and the factors controlling the exploration targets become more complex, which also increases the difficulty of characterization and prediction. Therefore, in order to accurately characterize favorable exploration targets and improve the success rate of prediction, there is an urgent need for a systematic research system that integrates all factors.

[0004] Therefore, this invention proposes a method for characterizing exploration targets based on integrated research of multi-dimensional data including structure, sequence stratigraphy, sedimentation, reservoir, and hydrocarbon accumulation. Figure 3 As shown. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a method for characterizing exploration targets based on the integrated fusion of multi-dimensional data.

[0006] To solve the technical problem, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for characterizing exploration targets based on integrated fusion of multidimensional data, the method comprising:

[0008] Step S101: Collect data required for the characterization and prediction of exploration targets, and filter and classify the data;

[0009] Step S102: Based on the filtered and classified data, conduct detailed structural analysis using seismic data of the study area to determine the structural development characteristics of the exploration target area and establish the structural geological framework of the study area;

[0010] Step S103: Based on the structural geological framework, using drilling, logging, well logging and seismic data of the study area, and according to the characteristics of lithological abrupt change surface, curve change surface and seismic reflection surface, identify sequence stratigraphic interfaces, carry out sequence stratigraphic interpretation and sequence internal structure analysis, and establish a multi-level sequence stratigraphic framework for the target layer of the exploration target area.

[0011] Step S104: Under the constraints of the sequence stratigraphic framework, use core, well, seismic, and geochemical data to determine the provenance system, identify sedimentary microfacies types, compile spatial distribution maps of sedimentary facies, and reconstruct sedimentary development patterns.

[0012] Step S105: Guided by sedimentary microfacies, use core, mineral, physical property, and geochemical data to conduct reservoir diagenesis and physical property analysis, and determine favorable reservoir controlling factors;

[0013] Step S106: By using the matching relationship between source, reservoir and cap, and the characteristics of oil and gas migration and enrichment, establish the oil and gas enrichment patterns of the exploration target, and finally delineate the favorable exploration targets.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S101, the collected seismic data includes: core data, well data, rock and mineral data, physical properties data, geochemical data, and seismic-related multidimensional data.

[0015] Furthermore, the specific steps of step S102 are as follows:

[0016] Conduct structural feature analysis of the exploration target, utilize collected seismic data to carry out detailed structural geological analysis, identify structural combination patterns, classify structural evolution stages, and establish a structural geological framework for the exploration target area.

[0017] Furthermore, the specific steps of step S103 are as follows:

[0018] High-precision sequence stratigraphic framework analysis of the target strata in the exploration target area was conducted. Using well logging and well logging data, the sequence boundaries of single wells were identified based on the characteristics of lithological abrupt changes and curve changes, and a sequence stratigraphic framework of the connected well profiles was established. With the help of collected seismic data, the seismic interfaces were identified based on the seismic reflection characteristics of erosion, overlap, and underlap on the seismic profiles, and fine sequence stratigraphic analysis was carried out. Based on stratigraphic correlation and interpretation closure, a multi-level high-precision sequence stratigraphic framework of the target strata in the exploration target area was established.

[0019] Furthermore, the specific steps of step S104 are as follows:

[0020] Under the constraints of the sequence stratigraphic framework, core, mineral, drilling, seismic, and geochemical data are used to determine the provenance system, identify sedimentary facies types, and compile sequence structural maps, stratigraphic thickness maps, sand body thickness maps, percentage maps, and sedimentary facies evidence maps at all levels. This allows for the analysis of the controlling factors of sedimentary development of exploration targets, the determination of development patterns, and the reconstruction of sedimentary development models.

[0021] Furthermore, the specific steps of step S105 are as follows:

[0022] Guided by sedimentary facies development models, we utilize rock and mineral data, reservoir physical properties, and geochemical data to analyze the reservoir performance and diagenesis of the target reservoir, determine the main controlling factors of reservoir evolution, and identify the development patterns of high-quality reservoirs. Combining tectonic-sequence-sedimentary study data, we use three-dimensional data volumes and drilling data to conduct detailed characterization of the spatial distribution of high-quality reservoirs and delineate favorable exploration targets.

[0023] Furthermore, the specific steps of step S106 are as follows:

[0024] By utilizing the configuration of hydrocarbon accumulation conditions and hydrocarbon migration characteristics, we can establish the hydrocarbon enrichment patterns of exploration targets and further identify favorable exploration targets.

[0025] Furthermore, the method also includes:

[0026] The prediction and selection of exploration targets take into account all controlling factors during the depositional period of the exploration targets, including post-depositional tectonic evolution, reservoir diagenetic modification, hydrocarbon generation and migration from source rocks, and comprehensive analysis and research on organic matching with favorable reservoirs. This effectively improves the accuracy of predicting favorable exploration targets and reduces exploration costs. Its characterization ideas and methods, as well as the predicted targets, further serve the subsequent development and the improvement of development technology.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0028] This invention presents a multi-dimensional data integration-based exploration target characterization method. Within a unified geological understanding framework, it integrates multi-factor data from "structure, sequence stratigraphy, sedimentation, reservoir, and hydrocarbon accumulation" to precisely characterize exploration targets. The method is clear in its approach, hierarchical, and progressively in-depth, conforming to the logical thinking of scientific research. Figure 2Furthermore, the research approach of "structure, sequence stratigraphy, sedimentation, reservoir, and hydrocarbon accumulation" is integrated throughout the entire research process of exploration target characterization and prediction, covering all research content of exploration target characterization. It aims to achieve a refined characterization of exploration targets, thereby improving prediction accuracy and reducing exploration costs. This technology provides a research platform for exploration target characterization research. This method can automatically and continuously expand and improve the characterization method of exploration targets as science and technology develop and data becomes more abundant. Fourth, this method is simple, easy to understand, and easy to operate, which helps beginners quickly master the characterization method of exploration targets and quickly carry out the characterization of exploration targets, effectively promoting the prediction of favorable exploration targets. It also helps to promote the theory of exploration target characterization. Attached Figure Description
