Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of petroleum geological exploration technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment and medium for estimating horizontal slip distance in tension-torsion structural zones. Background Technology
[0002] The detailed interpretation of faults in tension-torsional tectonic zones using seismic data plays a crucial role in oil and gas exploration and production. However, horizontal slip distance calculation remains a challenging research topic and a hot topic in seismic data interpretation. Furthermore, methods for calculating horizontal slip distance are constantly being updated.
[0003] In recent years, methods for calculating the horizontal slip distance of strike-slip faults have mainly included comparative analysis of markers on both sides of the fault, tectonic physical simulation, and estimation of the difference in extension on both sides of the fault. Furthermore, the phenomenon of dipped strata being displaced by strike-slip faults is relatively common within basins. Therefore, for most strike-slip faults, the in-phase faulting method (for dipped strata) can be considered. Overall, calculating the horizontal slip distance of strike-slip faults by comparing strata or sedimentary bodies on both sides of the fault plane is a relatively practical and commonly used method.
[0004] However, in practical applications, it has been found that the relatively large vertical fault displacement in tension-torsional tectonic zones makes it difficult to calculate the horizontal slip distance, thus affecting the understanding of the horizontal slip strength. This has resulted in a lack of publicly available horizontal slip data and related analyses, hindering a deeper understanding of tension-torsional tectonic structures.
[0005] In summary, how to estimate the horizontal slip distance of faults with large vertical displacement in tension-torsional tectonic zones, thus overcoming the previous shortcomings in estimating the horizontal slip distance of faults in tension-torsional tectonic zones, is a technical problem that needs to be solved in this field.

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method, apparatus, device, and medium for estimating the horizontal slip distance in tension-torsional tectonic zones, which can realize the estimation of the horizontal slip distance of faults with large vertical displacements in tension-torsional tectonic zones, thus overcoming the shortcomings of previous methods that made it impossible or difficult to estimate the horizontal slip distance of faults in tension-torsional tectonic zones. The specific solution is as follows:
[0007] In a first aspect, this application discloses a method for estimating the horizontal slip distance in a tension-torsional tectonic zone, including:

[0021] If so, it indicates that the corresponding fracture location has been verified, and the verified fracture location will be used as the target fracture location for data sampling and analysis.

[0038] As can be seen, this application discloses a method for estimating the horizontal slip distance in a tension-torsional tectonic zone, comprising: performing seismic interpretation on the stratigraphic and fault information contained in the in-phase axis data of the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated, so as to obtain different fault information and target stratigraphic information of the target layer; determining the local small-displacement fault development zone perpendicular to the structural strike from the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated based on the fault information and the target stratigraphic information of the target layer; screening target horizontal slice groups from the local small-displacement fault development zones according to the wave group similarity information, amplitude intensity information, and frequency information; performing superposition and analysis on the target horizontal slice groups that are superimposed with the fault trajectories corresponding to the target layer to determine multiple fault locations for estimating the horizontal slip distance; calculating the horizontal slip distance and vertical displacement data pairs for all the fault locations respectively, and performing fitting analysis on the calculated data pairs to estimate the horizontal slip distance of the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated. Therefore, based on a detailed interpretation of faults and stratigraphy in the original seismic data, and through methods such as location optimization, slice analysis, and data analysis, the horizontal slip distance in tension-torsional tectonic zones can be estimated. This demonstrates a deep understanding of the geological characteristics of tension-torsional tectonic structures and the fault slip process. This provides a solution to the limitation of estimating horizontal slip distance in tension-torsional tectonic zones where estimation is difficult or impossible, and offers strong technical support for estimating the horizontal slip distance of faults with large vertical displacements.

[0054] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0055] The detailed interpretation of faults in tension-torsional tectonic zones using seismic data plays a crucial role in oil and gas exploration and production. However, horizontal slip distance calculation remains a challenging research topic and a hot topic in seismic data interpretation. Furthermore, methods for calculating horizontal slip distance are constantly being updated.
[0056] In recent years, methods for calculating the horizontal slip distance of strike-slip faults have mainly included comparative analysis of markers on both sides of the fault, tectonic physical simulation, and estimation of the difference in extension on both sides of the fault. Furthermore, the phenomenon of dipped strata being displaced by strike-slip faults is relatively common within basins. Therefore, for most strike-slip faults, the in-phase faulting method (for dipped strata) can be considered. Overall, calculating the horizontal slip distance of strike-slip faults by comparing strata or sedimentary bodies on both sides of the fault plane is a relatively practical and commonly used method.
[0057] However, in practical applications, it has been found that the relatively large vertical fault displacement in tension-torsional tectonic zones makes it difficult to calculate the horizontal slip distance, thus affecting the understanding of the horizontal slip strength. This has resulted in a lack of publicly available horizontal slip data and related analyses, hindering a deeper understanding of tension-torsional tectonic structures.
[0058] Therefore, this invention provides a method for estimating the horizontal slip distance in tension-torsional structural zones, which can estimate the horizontal slip distance of faults with large vertical displacements in tension-torsional structural zones, thus overcoming the shortcomings of previous methods that made it impossible or difficult to estimate the horizontal slip distance of faults in tension-torsional structural zones.
[0059] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention discloses a method for estimating the horizontal slip distance in a tension-torsion tectonic zone, comprising:
[0060] Step S11: Perform seismic interpretation on the stratigraphic and fault information contained in the in-phase axis data of the tension-torsion tectonic zone to be estimated, so as to obtain different fault information and target stratigraphic information of the target layer.
[0061] In this embodiment, pre-set seismic interpretation software is used to perform closed-loop seismic interpretation on the seismic data of the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated, in order to obtain different fault information and target horizon information of the target layer. It can be understood that seismic interpretation software, such as Landmark, is used to perform detailed interpretation of the horizons and faults in the seismic data of the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated. Figure 2 As shown, a block in the eastern sea area exhibits various flower-like structures, well-developed extensional-torsional faults, relatively steep stratigraphic dips, and large vertical fault displacements. This significantly increases the difficulty of estimating horizontal slip distances. Seismic interpretation software such as Landmark was used to perform detailed and closed-loop interpretations of the stratigraphic horizons and faults. The detailed interpretation includes: ensuring the existence of a dynamic source for horizontal slip within the regional tectonic setting; ensuring the presence of numerous typical extensional-torsional fault combinations in the study area; ensuring sufficiently detailed fault interpretation, including even small faults with distinct characteristics; ensuring sufficiently detailed interpretation of the target stratigraphic horizons, with an interpretation density of at least 8×8; ensuring that the faults are formed by single-phase activity rather than the superposition of multiple phases; and ensuring that the fault cross-sectional characteristics are relatively simple, facilitating subsequent analysis and measurement.
[0062] Step S12: Based on the fault information and the target stratigraphic information of the target layer, determine the local small-displacement fault development zone perpendicular to the structural trend from the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated.
[0063] In this embodiment, the fault distribution of the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated is determined based on the fault information and the target stratigraphic information, thereby identifying locally developed small-thrust fault zones perpendicular to the structural strike. It can be understood that determining the fault distribution of the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated based on fault information and target stratigraphic information specifically involves using the stratigraphic plane distribution map to determine the structural strike and the development of small-thrust fault zones. In this way, the identification of locally developed small-thrust fault zones through this determination method achieves the screening and identification of small-thrust strike-slip fault zones. Figure 3 As shown, by interpreting the stratigraphic position, the distribution of faults can be determined, and the local small-displacement fault development zone that cuts the structural trend can be selected.
[0064] Step S13: Select target horizontal slice groups from the local small-displacement fracture development area based on the wave group similarity information, amplitude intensity information, and frequency information.
[0065] In this embodiment, target horizontal slice groups are selected from the aforementioned local small-displacement fault development areas based on seismic wave group similarity information, amplitude intensity information, frequency information, and other seismic wave group characteristics. These target horizontal slice groups are horizontal slices where the wave groups on both sides are relatively easy to compare. The specific selection process for these two horizontal slices is as follows: horizontal seismic slices (excluding faults) passing through the target layer (longitudinal profile) of the seismic work area are used to analyze the seismic wave group characteristics on both sides of the possible fault, preferentially selecting horizontal slices where the wave groups on both sides are relatively easy to compare. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal slices that are relatively easy to compare on both sides are preferred.
[0066] Step S14: Analyze the target horizontal slice group that overlaps with the fracture trajectory corresponding to the target layer to determine multiple fracture locations for horizontal slip distance estimation.
[0067] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the horizontal slices from both sides are overlaid with the corresponding fracture trajectories in the target layer for superposition and analysis to determine the fracture location and calculation location for horizontal slip distance estimation. It should be noted that the fracture trajectory is obtained through seismic software interpretation. By observing the overall correspondence of seismic wave groups on both sides of the fault, it is ensured that the width, intensity, etc., of the wave groups on both sides correspond well; those with poor correspondence should not be used in subsequent steps. If no good slice is available for fault slip distance recovery, other slices are gradually adjusted within the target layer segment until a slice with good results for comparative analysis of the wave groups on both sides of the fault is found. Figure 6 As shown. Then, after determining the slice, a fault reconstruction verification analysis of the horizontal profile is performed to observe the corresponding seismic wave groups on both sides of the fault, such as... Figure 7 As shown. Figure 8 As shown, sampling locations that are easy to compare are randomly selected. The corresponding characteristics of the two blocks of the fault after fault restoration are analyzed by means of the planar profile. The horizontal slip distance of the measured sample points is statistically analyzed. (1) Distribution range: 128-266m; (2) Maximum: 266m; (3) Minimum: 128m.
[0068] Step S15: Calculate the data pairs of horizontal slip distance and vertical slip distance for all the fracture locations, and perform fitting analysis on the calculated data pairs to estimate the horizontal slip distance of the tension-torsion structural zone to be estimated.
[0069] In this embodiment, fault restoration is performed on selected fault locations, and then the horizontal slip distance and vertical fault displacement are calculated for all fault locations after fault restoration. The steps for calculating the horizontal slip distance and vertical fault displacement at sampling points are as follows: Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the locations where the verification was successful were used as a series of relatively dispersed measurement points for horizontal slip distance. Horizontal slip distance and vertical fault displacement data pairs were measured separately, and the data pairs were fitted and analyzed to estimate the horizontal slip distance at other tension-torsional fracture locations in the study area (especially those with relatively large vertical fault displacements). It can be seen from the figure that: (1) the vertical fault displacement and horizontal slip distance generally have a good correspondence; (2) there are differences in the patterns of local sampling data. 2 The value is 0.8657, which is relatively large. Therefore, it can be used to roughly estimate the horizontal slip distance of other tension-torsional fractures by calculating the vertical slip distance. Specifically, based on the calculated vertical slip distance VS and the horizontal slip distance SS calculated in S3, combined with the following geometric relationship... Reference Figure 11 It can be deduced that: In a tensional-torsional tectonic context, the vertical displacement (R) primarily shifts leftward or rightward, while the value of D is mostly greater than 80° and has a limited range of variation. cos D and tan(180°-R) are mainly constants with small variations. Therefore, the vertical displacement and horizontal slip distance exhibit approximately linear characteristics, and the variation of the scattered points is mainly influenced by the changes in R and D at different measurement points. Thus, by using a fitting formula and calculating the vertical displacement (VS), the horizontal slip distance (SS) in the tensional-torsional tectonic zone can be easily and conveniently estimated.
[0070] In the process of calculating the horizontal slip distance, a reliability reference parameter value is set, and a target parameter value is obtained by fitting the current data after measurement. The magnitude relationship between the target parameter value and the reliability reference parameter value is compared, and based on the magnitude relationship, it is selected whether to perform the step of estimating the horizontal slip distance of the tension-torsion structural zone based on the current data. Specifically, the fitted mathematical relationship expression needs to be appropriately analyzed and evaluated, such as the parameter R. 2 This value is used as a reference for expressing confidence; if the value is too low, it is not recommended to use it directly and simply to estimate the horizontal slip distance of other fractures; it may be necessary to reclassify the fractures according to their strike, attitude, etc., and then re-estimate them according to the relevant process mentioned in this invention.
[0071] In this embodiment, the calculation of the horizontal slip distance and vertical discontinuity of the sampling point further includes: the following geometric relationship is shown in the horizontal slip distance SS calculated from the vertical discontinuity VS and S3 in the three-dimensional diagram. We will perform a reverse formula derivation to further explore the data pair relationship between VS and SS, so as to further evaluate the usability of the mid-level slip distance estimation formula.
[0072] As can be seen, this application discloses a method for estimating the horizontal slip distance in a tension-torsional tectonic zone, comprising: performing seismic interpretation on the stratigraphic and fault information contained in the in-phase axis data of the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated, to obtain different fault information and the target stratigraphic information; determining, based on the fault information and the target stratigraphic information, local small-displacement fault development zones perpendicular to the structural strike from the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated; selecting target horizontal slice groups from the local small-displacement fault development zones based on wave group similarity information, amplitude intensity information, and frequency information; analyzing the target horizontal slice groups that are superimposed with fault trajectories corresponding to the target layer to determine multiple fault locations for estimating the horizontal slip distance; calculating the horizontal slip distance and vertical displacement data pairs for all the fault locations respectively, and performing fitting analysis on the calculated data pairs to estimate the horizontal slip distance of the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated. Therefore, based on a detailed interpretation of faults and stratigraphy in the original seismic data, and through methods such as location optimization, slice analysis, and data analysis, the horizontal slip distance in tension-torsional tectonic zones can be estimated. This demonstrates a deep understanding of the geological characteristics of tension-torsional tectonic structures and the fault slip process. This provides a solution to the limitation of estimating horizontal slip distance in tension-torsional tectonic zones where estimation is difficult or impossible, and offers strong technical support for estimating the horizontal slip distance of faults with large vertical displacements.
[0073] Reference Figure 12 As shown, this embodiment of the invention discloses a specific method for estimating the horizontal slip distance in a tension-torsion tectonic zone. Compared to the previous embodiment, this embodiment further explains and optimizes the technical solution. Specifically:
[0074] Step S21: Perform seismic interpretation on the stratigraphic and fault information contained in the in-phase axis data of the tension-torsion tectonic zone to be estimated, so as to obtain different fault information and target stratigraphic information of the target layer.
[0075] Step S22: Based on the fault information and the target stratigraphic information of the target layer, determine the local small-displacement fault development zone perpendicular to the structural trend from the tension-torsion structural zone to be estimated.
[0076] Step S23: Select target horizontal slice groups from the local small-displacement fracture development area based on the wave group similarity information, amplitude intensity information, and frequency information.
[0077] Step S24: Analyze the target horizontal slice group that overlaps with the fracture trajectory corresponding to the target layer to determine multiple fracture locations for horizontal slip distance estimation.
[0078] For more detailed processing procedures in steps S21, S22, S23, and S24, please refer to the aforementioned disclosed embodiments; they will not be repeated here.
[0079] Step S25: Based on the fracture trajectory corresponding to the target layer in the target horizontal slice group and the target layer in the fault information, select the fault block in the cross section or the plane target layer of the strike-slip fault, then perform horizontal slip recovery on the selected area, and observe the corresponding situation of the seismic wave groups on both sides of the fault.
[0080] In this embodiment, based on the horizontal slice of the obtained superimposed fault trajectory and the determined fault trajectory, the fault block is selected and horizontal slip recovery is performed to observe the correspondence of seismic wave groups on both sides of the fault. Horizontal slip recovery involves integrating the target layer in the plane and the target layer in the profile to observe the correspondence of the integrated seismic wave groups in both directions.
[0081] Step S26: Determine whether the correspondence between the two blocks of the fault is natural based on the correspondence of the seismic wave groups on both sides of the fault; or, based on the correspondence restored by the fault along the target layer of the plane, set the navigation path of the arbitrary line plane of the target layer of the profile, and determine whether the correspondence between the seismic wave groups on both sides of the fault on the target layer of the profile is natural; if yes, it indicates that the corresponding fault position has passed the verification, and the verified fault position is used as the target fault position for data sampling and analysis; if no, it indicates that the corresponding fault position has not passed the verification, and the unverified fault position is discarded.
[0082] In this embodiment, after the contrast wave groups on both sides of the fault are restored along the fault plane, the correspondence between the two blocks of the fault trajectory should be relatively natural; an unnatural correspondence indicates a potential problem. Following the restored correspondence along the fault plane, the navigation path is reset to display on an arbitrary line of the profile. The correspondence between the seismic wave groups on both sides of the fault on the profile should be relatively natural; an unnatural correspondence indicates a potential problem. If at least one of the above appears unnatural, it indicates that the fault may be affected by other factors, and this restoration may lead to inaccurate subsequent calculations. If the corresponding wave groups on both sides of the fault profile are relatively natural, then this calculation point is used as the target fault location for subsequent data sampling and analysis. Therefore, randomly selecting easily comparable sampling locations and analyzing the correspondence characteristics of the two fault profiles after fault restoration using a planar cross-section is crucial.
[0083] Step S27: Calculate the data pairs of horizontal slip distance and vertical fault distance for all the target fracture locations, and perform fitting analysis on the calculated data pairs to estimate the horizontal slip distance of the tension-torsion structural zone to be estimated.
[0084] In this embodiment, the successfully verified locations are used as a series of relatively dispersed horizontal slip distance measurement points. Horizontal slip distance and vertical displacement data pairs are measured separately, and the data pairs are fitted and analyzed to estimate the horizontal slip distance at other tensional-torsional fracture locations (especially those with relatively large vertical displacements) in the study area. The process of calculating the horizontal slip distance and vertical displacement data pairs for all the fracture locations also includes: marking all the target fracture locations on both sides of the fault on the target layer in the profile or plane, and reading the time difference between the two points as the time-dependent vertical displacement. It is understood that Landmark software can be used to mark the fault on both sides in the plane or profile, and here the time difference between the two points is used as the time-dependent vertical displacement; the time-dependent vertical displacement is converted into (time-dependent) vertical displacement using the time-depth relationship of the drilled well.
[0085] As can be seen, a method for estimating the horizontal slip distance in tension-torsional tectonic zones is achieved through location optimization, slice analysis, and data analysis. This invention, building upon existing methods, leverages a deeper understanding of the geological characteristics and fault slip processes of tension-torsional tectonic zones to address the shortcomings of estimating horizontal slip distance in these zones, which is often difficult or impossible.
[0086] Reference Figure 13 As shown, the present invention also discloses a device for estimating the horizontal slip distance in a tension-torsion structural zone, comprising:
[0087] The information interpretation module 11 is used to perform seismic interpretation on the stratigraphic and fault information contained in the in-phase axis data of the tension-torsion structural zone to be estimated, so as to obtain different fault information and target stratigraphic information of the target layer.
[0088] The region determination module 12 is used to determine, based on the fault information and the target stratigraphic information, a local small-offset fault development zone perpendicular to the structural trend from the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated.
[0089] The slice group screening module 13 is used to screen target horizontal slice groups from the local small-displacement fracture development area based on the similarity information of wave groups, amplitude intensity information, and frequency information.
[0090] The trajectory overlay module 14 is used to analyze the target horizontal slice group that has been overlaid with the fracture trajectory corresponding to the target layer to determine multiple fracture locations for horizontal slip distance estimation.
[0091] The estimation module 15 is used to calculate the data pairs of horizontal slip distance and vertical slip distance for all the fracture locations, and to perform fitting analysis on the calculated data pairs to estimate the horizontal slip distance of the tension-torsion structural zone to be estimated.
[0092] As can be seen, this application discloses the seismic interpretation of stratigraphic and fault information contained in the in-phase axis data of the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated, in order to obtain different fault information and the target stratigraphic information; based on the fault information and the target stratigraphic information, determining the local small-offset fault development zone perpendicular to the structural strike from the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated; selecting target horizontal slice groups from the local small-offset fault development zones based on wave group similarity information, amplitude intensity information, and frequency information; analyzing the target horizontal slice groups that are superimposed with the fault trajectories corresponding to the target layers to determine multiple fault locations for horizontal slip distance estimation; calculating the horizontal slip distance and vertical fault distance data pairs for all the fault locations respectively, and performing fitting analysis on the calculated data pairs to estimate the horizontal slip distance of the tension-torsional tectonic zone to be estimated. Therefore, based on a detailed interpretation of faults and stratigraphy in the original seismic data, and through methods such as location optimization, slice analysis, and data analysis, the horizontal slip distance in tension-torsional tectonic zones can be estimated. This demonstrates a deep understanding of the geological characteristics of tension-torsional tectonic structures and the fault slip process. This provides a solution to the limitation of estimating horizontal slip distance in tension-torsional tectonic zones where estimation is difficult or impossible, and offers strong technical support for estimating the horizontal slip distance of faults with large vertical displacements.
