[0030] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is merely for describing particular embodiments and is not intended to limit the invention. Unless otherwise stated, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. While only preferred methods and materials have been described herein, any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein may be used in the implementation or testing of this invention.

[0031] To address the problem of existing technologies being unable to perform seismic prediction of shale gas "sweet spots," this invention provides a method and apparatus for seismic prediction of shale reservoirs with double sweet spots. This method effectively utilizes post-stack and pre-stack multi-parameter data to conduct seismic prediction and comprehensive evaluation of shale gas "double sweet spots."

[0032] Based on rock physical analysis, this invention explores and establishes a method for predicting and comprehensively evaluating the "double sweet spot" seismic activity of shale, which is applicable to the double sweet spot prediction of shale gas and shale oil.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a method for seismic prediction of shale reservoirs with double sweet spots, the process of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0035] Step S11: Based on the pre-stack and post-stack inversion of seismic data in the study area, obtain the first data of the first parameter indicating the geological conditions of the target segment and the second data of the second parameter indicating the engineering conditions.

[0036] Geological conditions reflect hydrocarbon generation capacity and storage conditions, so the first parameter is used to evaluate the hydrocarbon generation capacity and storage capacity of the reservoir, and is the geological sweet spot evaluation parameter; engineering conditions reflect the difficulty of extraction, so the second parameter is used to evaluate the ease of oil and gas extraction from the reservoir, and is the engineering sweet spot evaluation parameter.

[0037] In some embodiments, before performing step S11, multiple sensitive parameters of shale reservoir oil and gas resources can be determined through rock physics analysis; post-stack and pre-stack inversion of seismic data in the study area can be carried out to obtain the data volume corresponding to each sensitive parameter.

[0038] Specifically, it could be at least one of the following sensitive parameters for determining shale reservoir oil and gas resources:

[0039] Longitudinal wave velocity, transverse wave velocity, longitudinal wave impedance, transverse wave impedance, density, Poisson's ratio, Young's modulus, Lamé impedance, and shear modulus.

[0040] The aforementioned sensitive elastic parameters can effectively reflect lithology and / or hydrocarbon content. Therefore, through pre-stack and post-stack seismic data inversion, the P-wave velocity volume, S-wave velocity volume, P-wave impedance volume, S-wave impedance volume, density volume, Poisson's ratio volume, Young's modulus volume, Lamé impedance volume, and shear modulus volume of the study area were obtained, providing a data foundation for subsequent steps.

[0041] In some embodiments, obtaining first data of a first parameter indicating the geological conditions of a target stratum may include obtaining at least one of the following first data of the first parameter indicating the geological conditions of the target stratum:

[0042] Data on total organic carbon content, porosity, and shale thickness.

[0043] Obtaining second data for the second parameter indicating the engineering conditions of the target layer may include obtaining at least one of the following second data for the second parameter indicating the engineering conditions of the target layer:

[0044] Brittleness index data, pore pressure data, and crack density data.

[0045] The first and second data mentioned above can specifically be the planar distribution data of the target layer segment. The specific method for determining them will be described in detail later.

[0046] Step S12: Obtain the double dessert evaluation parameter data based on the weight coefficients of the first parameter and the second parameter, as well as the first data and the second data.

[0047] Taking the first parameter, which includes total organic carbon content T, porosity Ф, and shale thickness H, and the second parameter, which includes brittleness index B, pore pressure P, and fracture density F, as an example, the evaluation parameters for the double sweet spot can be determined by the following formula (1):

[0048] COMP=c1T+c2φ+c3H+c4B+c5P+c6F (1)

[0049] In formula (1), COMP is the double sweet spot evaluation parameter, i.e., the comprehensive evaluation index; the weight coefficients of T, Ф, H, B, P and F are c1, c2, c3, c4, c5 and c6 respectively, and c1, c2, c3, c4, c5 and c6 are regional experience values, and their sum is 1.

[0050] Furthermore, T, Ф, H, B, P, and F can be normalized values.

[0051] Step S13: Based on the double sweet spot evaluation parameter data and the predetermined double sweet spot evaluation criteria, predict the double sweet spot of the target layer.

[0052] For example, the double sweet spot level corresponding to the range of double sweet spot evaluation parameter data in the study area can be determined in advance, and the distribution of double sweet spot level in the target layer can be determined according to the double sweet spot evaluation parameter data.

[0053] The shale reservoir double sweet spot seismic prediction method provided in Embodiment 1 of this invention can effectively utilize post-stack and pre-stack multi-parameter data to carry out shale gas "double sweet spot" seismic prediction and comprehensive evaluation, effectively improve the prediction accuracy of deep shale gas reservoirs, provide a basis for shale gas exploration and development well location deployment, and thus significantly reduce the risk of unconventional reservoir drilling.

[0054] The determination of the first and second data of the aforementioned target layer segment can be performed according to the following steps:

[0055] 1. Total organic carbon content data

[0056] (1) Using the superposition method of resistivity and sonic transit time curves, the total organic carbon curve of wells in the study area was obtained by calibrating the total organic carbon samples.

[0057] The total organic carbon sample point can be a sample point with the measured total organic carbon content.

[0058] By overlaying resistivity and sonic transit time curves, the total organic carbon curve of the wells in the study area can be obtained using the following formulas (2) and (3):

[0059] ΔLgR=Lg(R / R 基线 )+k1×(Δt-Δt 基线 (2)

[0060] TOC = ΔLgR × 10 (2.297-0.1688LOM) (3)

[0061] In formulas (2) and (3), R is resistivity, Δt is the sound wave transit time, and R 基线 , Δt 基线 These are resistivity, acoustic transit time baseline (based on relatively pure lithology other than shale, such as sandstone, carbonate rock, etc.), LOM is an index reflecting the maturity of organic matter, k1 is the proportional coefficient of the miscibility scale, and the specific values ​​of LOM and k1 can be determined empirically, and TOC is the total organic carbon content.

[0062] (2) Using the total organic carbon curve as a constraint, the total organic carbon content is obtained by inverting the seismic waveform indication of the post-stack seismic data.

[0063] The total organic carbon content was obtained as a high-resolution total organic carbon content.

[0064] (3) Obtain the total organic carbon content data of the target layer to indicate the geological conditions through the total organic carbon content volume.

[0065] This may include determining the time window range of the target layer, extracting the data volume within that time window from the total organic carbon content volume, and determining the planar distribution data of the total organic carbon content of the target layer using an averaging method.

[0066] 2. Porosity data

[0067] (1) Using the porosity curves of wells in the study area as constraints, the porosity volume is obtained by inverting the seismic waveform indicators of the post-stack seismic data.

[0068] The porosity curve can be obtained from well logging interpretation, and the interpretation process can be constrained by measured porosity samples.

[0069] (2) Porosity data indicating the geological conditions of the target layer are obtained through porosity volume.

[0070] This may include determining the time window range of the target layer, extracting the data volume within that time window from the porosity volume, and determining the porosity planar distribution data of the target layer using an averaging method.

[0071] 3. Shale thickness data

[0072] (1) Based on rock physics analysis, the shear wave impedance threshold value of shale in the study area was obtained.

[0073] (2) The time thickness data of the shale in the target layer is obtained by using the transverse wave impedance body of the study area and the threshold value.

[0074] Specifically, by using the shale shear wave impedance threshold value, the number of sample points in the target layer that are below this threshold value is counted, and the shale time thickness can be obtained by multiplying the number of sample points by the sampling time interval.

[0075] (3) Based on the shale time thickness data and P-wave velocity volume, obtain the shale thickness data indicating the geological conditions of the target layer.

[0076] One approach is to determine the time window range of the target layer, extract the data volume within that time window from the P-wave velocity volume, and determine the P-wave velocity plane distribution data of the target layer using the averaging method; then, multiply the P-wave velocity plane distribution data with the shale time thickness data to determine the shale thickness data.

[0077] Furthermore, by using the total organic carbon content data, porosity data, and shale thickness data determined above, geological sweet spot evaluation parameters can be determined, and geological sweet spots in the target stratum can be predicted and evaluated.

[0078] 4. Brittleness index data

[0079] (1) Based on the brittleness index samples, Young's modulus volume, shear resistance volume, Lamé resistance volume and Poisson's ratio volume in the study area, determine the fitting relationship between the brittleness index and Young's modulus, shear resistance, Lamé resistance and Poisson's ratio.

[0080] Obtain the measured brittleness index samples.

[0081] A linear relationship is established between the measured brittleness index and Young's modulus, shear resistance, Lamé resistance, and Poisson's ratio, specifically as formula (4):

[0082] BI=a1ΔE+a2Δμρ+a3Δσ+a4Δλρ+a5 (4)

[0083] In formula (4), BI is the brittleness index, ΔE is Young's modulus, Δμρ is the shear resistance, Δλρ is the Lamé resistance, Δσ is Poisson's ratio, and a1, a2, a3, a4, and a5 are the linear coefficients to be fitted.

[0084] After determining the specific values ​​of a1, a2, a3, a4, and a5, substituting them into the above formula (4) will yield the fitting relationship between the brittleness index and Young's modulus, shear resistance, Lamé resistance, and Poisson's ratio.

[0085] (2) Based on the fitting relationship and Young's modulus body, shear resistance body, Lamé resistance body and Poisson's ratio body, the brittleness index body is obtained.

[0086] (3) Obtain the brittleness index data of the target layer indicating the engineering conditions through the brittleness index body.

[0087] This may include determining the time window range of the target layer, extracting the data volume within that time window from the brittleness index volume, and determining the planar distribution data of the brittleness index of the target layer using an averaging method.

[0088] 5. Pore pressure data

[0089] (1) Based on the longitudinal wave impedance volume, transverse wave impedance volume, and density volume of the study area, the pore pressure volume is obtained through the following formula (5):

[0090]

[0091] In formula (5), P p P is the pore pressure. ov For overlying pressure, P imp For the longitudinal wave impedance, S imp Let ρ be the transverse wave impedance, ρ be the density, H be the depth, and b1, b2, b3, and b4 be empirical constants for the study area.

[0092] Overhead pressure P ov It can be obtained based on the depth and the density of the overlying rock layers.

[0093] (2) Obtain pore pressure data indicating the engineering conditions of the target section through pore pressure body.

[0094] This may include determining the time window range of the target layer, extracting the data volume within that time window from the pore pressure volume, and determining the pore pressure plane distribution data of the target layer using an averaging method.

[0095] 6. Crack density data

[0096] (1) Crack density volume is obtained based on the azimuth data volume of the study area.

[0097] Based on azimuth-stacked seismic data, anisotropic inversion can be performed to obtain fracture density volume and azimuth volume.

[0098] (2) Crack density data indicating the engineering conditions of the target layer are obtained through crack density volume.

[0099] This may include determining the time window range of the target layer, extracting the data volume within that time window from the fracture density volume, and determining the plane distribution data of the fracture density of the target layer using an averaging method.

[0100] Furthermore, by using the brittleness index data, pore pressure data, and crack density data determined above, the engineering sweet spot evaluation parameters can be determined, and the engineering sweet spot of the target layer can be predicted and evaluated.

[0101] Example 2

[0102] The shale reservoir double-sweet spot seismic prediction method provided in Embodiment 1 of this invention is applicable to double-sweet spot seismic prediction of shale gas and shale oil. Embodiment 2 of this invention provides a specific implementation process for the shale gas double-sweet spot seismic prediction method. Taking the Ordovician shale reservoir in the xx area as an example, the Ordovician reservoir in the study area is mainly marine sedimentary. Based on paleontological characteristics, sedimentary cycles, and regional marker beds, its strata can be divided into five lithological sections from bottom to top: the Sandaokan Formation, the Zhuozishan Formation, the Kelimoli Formation, the Wulalik Formation, and the Lashizhong Formation. Among them, the Wulalik Formation argillaceous carbonate reservoir is highly heterogeneous with very complex pores, making seismic prediction and comprehensive evaluation of the shale "double sweet spot" difficult. Embodiment 2 of this invention provides a shale gas "double sweet spot" seismic prediction and comprehensive evaluation method based on post-stack and pre-stack multi-parameter data, obtaining shale "double sweet spot" seismic prediction results and comprehensive evaluation results. See [link to documentation]. Figure 2 As shown, the main steps are as follows:

[0103] Step S21: Perform pre-stack and post-stack seismic inversions to obtain P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, P-wave impedance, S-wave impedance, density, Poisson's ratio, Young's modulus, Lamé impedance, and shear modulus data volumes.

[0104] Step S22: Using post-stack seismic data and shear wave impedance data obtained from pre-stack and post-stack inversions, obtain data on total organic carbon content, porosity, and mudstone and shale thickness of the Uralik Formation.

[0105] like Figure 3 Plan view of total organic carbon content in the target section, Uralik Formation. Figure 4 Porosity planar diagram Figure 5 This is a plan view of the thickness of mudstone and shale.

[0106] Step S23: Using the azimuth seismic data and the Young's modulus, shear impedance, Lamé impedance, Poisson's ratio, P-wave impedance, S-wave impedance and density volume data obtained from pre-stack and post-stack inversions, the brittleness index, pore pressure and fracture density data are obtained.

[0107] Among them, the coefficients in formula (4) for calculating the brittleness index are a1 = 122.5, a2 = 17.85, a3 = 47.63, a4 = 25.4, and a5 = -13.66.

[0108] like Figure 6 A brittleness index planar diagram of the target stratigraphic section, the Uralik Formation. Figure 7Pore ​​pressure plan view Figure 8 This is a planar diagram showing the crack density.

[0109] Step S24: Based on the total organic carbon content data, porosity data, shale thickness data, brittleness index data, pore pressure data, and fracture density data, obtain the double sweet spot evaluation parameter data.

[0110] In the above formula (1), we take c1 = 0.5, c2 = 0.1, c3 = 0.1, c4 = 0.1, c5 = 0.1, and c6 = 0.1 respectively. We use formula (1) to obtain the evaluation parameter data of the double dessert by weighting with variable coefficients.

[0111] Step S25: Obtain a comprehensive evaluation chart of the two desserts from the evaluation parameter data of the two desserts and the pre-determined evaluation criteria of the two desserts.

[0112] like Figure 9 As shown, the target segment, the Uralik Formation, is divided into two double sweet spot zones: Zone I and Zone II.
