Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil exploration, and particularly to the technical field of prediction methods for epigene karst reservoirs. Background Art

[0002] Among the proven reserves of oil and gas resources worldwide, the reserves of carbonate rock oil and gas reservoirs account for about 50%, and the production accounts for more than 60%. The formation of reservoirs in large and medium-sized marine carbonate rock oil and gas fields at home and abroad is almost related to karstification. Among them, epigene karst pore increase is one of the most important reservoir-forming processes in carbonate rocks. Therefore, the prediction of epigene karst reservoirs is very important in oil and gas exploration and development and energy strategic security.

[0003] Currently, the popular reservoir prediction methods at home and abroad mainly include geological, logging and seismic prediction methods. Among them, traditional geological and logging prediction methods mainly rely on data such as actual drilled wells, outcrops, cores, and logging to identify and predict reservoirs within the wellbore periphery range, and it is difficult to obtain the planar law of reservoirs between wellbores. For example, the current geological prediction model for epigene karst reservoirs identifies and divides karst geomorphic units, analyzes and obtains factors such as karst hydrodynamic conditions and dissolution ability within different geomorphic units to qualitatively describe the planar distribution characteristics and laws of reservoirs. It can only predict the reservoir differences between different geomorphic units, cannot well reflect the reservoir development differences within the same geomorphic unit, and the prediction accuracy is limited, unable to meet the increasing accuracy requirements.

[0004] Compared with geological and logging prediction methods, seismic prediction methods can better depict the vertical and horizontal laws of reservoirs and have obtained rapid development in recent years. Among seismic prediction methods, amplitude attribute analysis is one of the most efficient and widely used prediction means. However, due to the complexity of seismic reflection interfaces above and below the reservoir development intervals and the particularity of the deep-ultra-deep environment where epigene karst reservoirs are concentrated, the coincidence rate of this prediction means is insufficient when applied to epigene karst reservoirs. For some other seismic prediction methods, such as seismic inversion prediction methods, due to the long prediction working time, low efficiency, and high cost, it is difficult to be actually applied in the early stage of exploration and development.

[0005] In summary, there is still a lack of a method in the prior art that can well predict epigene karst reservoirs in the deep-ultra-deep environment and be applied efficiently and at low cost. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to propose a zoning prediction method for epigene karst reservoirs based on geomorphic restoration. This method can comprehensively integrate geological, logging and seismic information, accurately qualitatively and quantitatively predict epigene karst reservoirs, can be applied to the early stage of exploration and development of epigene karst reservoirs, and has high working efficiency and low application cost.

[0046] Referring to the appended Figure 1 , according to the technical solution of the present invention, in some specific implementation manners, the prediction method for epigene karst reservoir zoning based on geomorphic restoration includes the following steps:

[0052] S32 Perform well-seismic calibration on the target layer, its upper and lower formations and the epigene karst reservoir therein according to the obtained synthetic seismic record of the single well. When calibrating, ensure that the correlation coefficient between the synthetic seismic record and the seismic trace beside the well is the highest as much as possible, and a correlation coefficient greater than 0.8 is optimal;

[0053] After the calibration in S33, obtain the main seismic wave reflection characteristics of the top and bottom interfaces of the target layer, its upper and lower formation interfaces and the epigene karst reservoir therein, so as to determine the top and bottom interfaces of the target layer, the upper and lower formation interfaces and the reservoir development position.

[0059] S52 Divide the study area into different geomorphic units according to the situation of the restored karst geomorphology, such as the shape, height, slope, etc. of the geomorphology.

[0060] S6 analyzes the stratigraphic sedimentary filling laws of the target layer and its upper and lower strata in each geomorphic unit, obtains the marker strata that can be used to characterize the karst geomorphic features of the target layer, and determines the thickness, acoustic travel time, and density values of different lithologic segments of the marker strata within the study area based on the well-seismic calibration records obtained in S3. At the same time, the thickness, acoustic travel time, and density values of the target layer are determined.

[0061] Among them, the marker strata are preferably the strata that are closest to the target layer and have significant differences in acoustic travel time and density in lithologic characteristics.

[0062] S7 establishes a theoretical seismic forward geological model and a reservoir development model for the strata.

[0063] It may further include:

[0064] S71 establishes a theoretical seismic forward geological model for the strata based on the divided geomorphic units, the obtained thickness, acoustic travel time, and density values of the target layer, and the thickness, acoustic travel time, and density values of different lithologic segments of the marker strata within the study area;

[0071] After the forward simulation, by analyzing the reservoir seismic response characteristics of the actual seismic data of a single well, under the condition of ensuring the authenticity of the seismic data, its response characteristics should be consistent with the characteristics of the seismic profile obtained from the theoretical forward simulation.

[0072] S10 conducts optimization of reservoir characterization attributes.

[0073] It may further include: based on the comparative analysis of the reservoir seismic response characteristics in S9, select the attributes that are most sensitive to reservoir development as the characterization features, establish the relationship between the characterization features and the reservoir development parameters, conduct plane analysis of the plane attributes, and predict the plane distribution of the reservoir.

[0074] S11 performs planar evaluation of reservoir prediction before and after geomorphic unit division.

[0078] S113 If the correlation and prediction accuracy are greatly improved after region division, then use the region division prediction method for prediction. Otherwise, return to S4 to re-select geomorphic restoration, geomorphic unit division and subsequent reservoir characterization features, etc.

[0079] After reservoir prediction and establishment of the attribute relationship, taking the development of the reservoir in a single well as unconstrained, eliminate the prediction anomalies caused by systematic errors such as data reasons, and eliminate the relevant areas. According to the geomorphic division unit, finally merge into a map, and the reservoir prediction is completed.

[0080] Embodiment 1

[0081] According to the process of the above specific implementation manners, perform partition prediction of epigene karst reservoirs. The research area is the central part of a certain basin. Among them, the target stratum, that is, the target layer, is the Dengying Formation.

[0082] In this embodiment, through the analysis of the collected seismic data and seismic horizon data, the seismic reflection time range of the Dengying Formation is determined, that is, its specific development location is determined. Further, through the spectral analysis technology, the main frequency of the seismic wave of the target layer is determined to be 32 Hz, the effective frequency bandwidth is 16 - 48 Hz, and the absolute frequency bandwidth is 36 Hz, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 as shown.

[0083] Through the obtained synthetic seismic record of a single well, it is determined that the top boundary of the Dengying Formation is a peak reflection, and there is an epigene karst reservoir inside. The reservoir develops in the area below the peak. At the same time, the upper and lower strata of the Dengying Formation are synchronously calibrated to determine the seismic tracking characteristics of each geological layer.

[0084] Through the study of regional geological survey data, single-well stratigraphic division data, outcrop data, logging curve data, post-stack migrated seismic data, and seismic horizon interpretation data in the study area, it is found that the isochronous interface closest to the Dengying Formation and recognizable and traceable regionally is the top boundary of the Qiongzhusi Formation. Moreover, the Qiongzhusi Formation is the first set of strata that filled and compensated after the exposure of the Dengying Formation. The top boundary of the Dengying Formation is the bottom boundary of the Qiongzhusi Formation. Therefore, the thickness of the Qiongzhusi Formation can represent the karst geomorphic characteristics after the exposure of the Dengying Formation. In the study area, the karst geomorphology of the Dengying Formation can be restored using the impression method, which is achieved through the distribution of the thickness of the Qiongzhusi Formation.

[0085] Using the collected seismic horizon data, a planar distribution map of the formation thickness of the Qiongzhusi Formation is obtained. If the collected seismic horizon data does not include the seismic horizon data required for use, such as the top and bottom boundary data of the Qiongzhusi Formation, then through well-seismic calibration, this interface can be manually traced to obtain the required data, and then a complete planar distribution map of the formation thickness of the Qiongzhusi Formation can be obtained.

[0086] In this embodiment, according to the distribution law of the formation thickness in the planar distribution map of the formation thickness of the Qiongzhusi Formation, the karst geomorphology within the Dengying Formation is divided into three geomorphic units: karst highlands, karst slopes, and karst lowlands, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 shown.

[0087] Based on the analysis of the mudstone sections with high gamma ray (GR) and high acoustic time difference (AC) at the bottom of the overlying Qiongzhusi Formation according to the divided geomorphic units, it is found that the thickness of this set of strata is different in different geomorphic units, and as the karst geomorphology gradually rises, this set of strata gradually thins. On the basis of clarifying the distribution law and thickness of this set of strata, the thickness, acoustic time difference value, and density value of this set of strata and the overlying strata are obtained through logging data.

[0088] Furthermore, through logging curve analysis, the thickness, acoustic time difference value, and density value of the Dengying Formation are obtained; through reservoir logging interpretation data and logging curve analysis, the thickness of the reservoir, its distance from the top boundary of the Dengying Formation, acoustic time difference value, and density value are obtained. According to these parameters, combined with the thickness, acoustic time difference value, and density value of the obtained overlying strata, a theoretical forward seismic geological model of the formation is designed. This geological model is divided into three formation units, namely the Dengying Formation, the overlying Qiongzhusi high-gamma formation, and the overlying remaining Qiongzhusi formation. The karst geomorphology of the model gradually increases from left to right, and the Qiongzhusi Formation and its lower high-gamma section gradually thin.

[0089] Furthermore, reservoir parameters are superimposed on the theoretical forward seismic geological model of the formation to obtain a reservoir development model, as shown in the appendix Figure 4 shown.

[0090] In the theoretical seismic forward geological model and reservoir development model of the strata, the parameters set for each stratum or reservoir unit include thickness (H), velocity (V), and density (ρ), where the velocity V is obtained by converting the acoustic time difference value of the unit.

[0091] Furthermore, according to the obtained main frequency wavelet of the seismic wave of the target layer, the reservoir development model is excited and simulated. In this embodiment, it is the Ricker wavelet with a main frequency of 32 hz. After excitation, the response characteristics of the obtained theoretical profile are analyzed. As shown in the appendix Figure 5 As shown, the figure shows that when the reservoir is not developed, the top boundary of the Dengying Formation is a peak reflection. As the thickness of the overlying high gamma formation gradually thins, the amplitude of the top boundary of the Dengying Formation gradually weakens. In the area where the reservoir is developed, this peak will have a weakening characteristic.

[0092] According to the calibration situation of the reservoir in the obtained synthetic seismic record of a single well and the forward simulation situation of the reservoir development model, analyze whether the actual seismic response characteristics of the reservoir are consistent with the theoretical seismic response characteristics obtained by forward simulation. In this embodiment, the actual seismic response characteristics of the reservoir are consistent with the theoretical seismic response characteristics, that is, the amplitude of the top boundary of the Dengying Formation in the low karst landform area is stronger than that in the karst slope and stronger than that in the karst highland. When the epigene karst reservoir is developed, the peak amplitude attribute of the top boundary will have a weakening characteristic.

[0093] Furthermore, extract the seismic attributes that can better characterize the reservoir development situation from the theoretical seismic response characteristics consistent with the actual seismic response characteristics of the reservoir, that is, the reservoir characterization characteristics. In this embodiment, this characteristic is selected as the amplitude. The weaker the amplitude, the more developed the reservoir.

[0094] According to the divided geomorphic units and the extracted reservoir characterization characteristics, perform a correlation analysis on the reservoir development situation and the characterization characteristics to obtain the reservoir characterization characteristic-reservoir thickness fitting formula for each geomorphic unit. This includes extracting the amplitude value and reservoir thickness at the well points, performing an intersection analysis on the amplitude value and reservoir thickness value without dividing the geomorphic units, analyzing the correlation coefficient, fitting the calculation formula, and then separately performing an intersection analysis on the single wells in different zones, analyzing the correlation coefficient, and fitting the reservoir thickness calculation formula. In this embodiment, before zoning, the correlation coefficient between the amplitude value and the reservoir thickness is only 0.48, which means that there are great uncertainties and errors in using this fitting formula for prediction. After being constrained by the karst geomorphic unit, the correlation coefficient is increased to 0.78, 0.93, and 0.92, which means that the accuracy of zoned prediction has been greatly improved. As shown in the appendix Figure 6 As shown, it shows that under the division of geomorphic units, the credibility of the predicted reservoir thickness calculated by the amplitude value is enhanced.

[0095] According to the reservoir characterization characteristics obtained in different karst landforms, the reservoir thickness is calculated by partitioning and fitting formula, and the reservoir plane thickness distribution map is obtained. Then, the single well reservoir thickness obtained by combining the logging reservoir interpretation data is used to correct the abnormal interval, and the abnormal values ​​caused by data abnormality are eliminated. Finally, the reservoir plane thickness maps of different karst landforms are fused to obtain the final reservoir plane distribution map, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 7 shown.

[0096] The above embodiments are only preferred implementations of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
