Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of seismic exploration of oil and gas and coalbed methane, and more specifically, relates to a porosity prediction method, device, electronic equipment and medium. Background Technology

[0002] In the exploration and development of underground sedimentary minerals such as oil and coal, porosity is one of the key parameters of the reservoir, and its study is of great significance.

[0003] The most direct method for obtaining reservoir porosity is core analysis. However, drilling and coring are generally not continuous operations, and the total core recovery rate of an exploratory well is often only a few percent to a dozen percent, which poses a significant challenge to the study of the spatial distribution of reservoir porosity. In addition, drilling and coring are very expensive and can only be performed after drilling.

[0004] In practice, the most widespread and common method for obtaining porosity is using well logging data. Well logging data can provide a continuous interpretation of porosity across all logging intervals, offering high vertical resolution. However, because well locations are often sparsely and unevenly distributed in space, the information reflected by well logging data is also sparse and uneven in space, failing to accurately depict the spatial distribution of reservoir porosity. Further understanding the spatial distribution characteristics of reservoir porosity requires a large number of sufficiently dense boreholes, which is difficult to achieve during the exploration phase. Moreover, porosity calculations based on well logging data are performed after drilling is completed, and drilling costs are high. Furthermore, well location needs to be determined before drilling, meaning reservoir evaluation or prediction, including porosity prediction, needs to be conducted pre-drilling. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a means or method that can effectively grasp the planar variation characteristics of reservoir porosity using only a small number of boreholes.

[0005] Seismic reservoir porosity prediction arose precisely to meet these urgent needs. In oil exploration and certain coalfield and salt mine exploration, seismic exploration data is an indispensable and crucial foundational resource. This data is generally available in the early stages of exploration and typically covers the entire basin, containing extremely rich stratigraphic, structural, and sedimentary facies information; therefore, it is invaluable basic data for subsurface geological analysis.

[0006] Traditional seismic reservoir porosity prediction is based on seismic data, guided by geological principles, and constrained by drilling and logging data to study the spatial variation characteristics of porosity in oil and gas reservoirs. There are two main approaches: one is based on seismic inversion, using cross-analysis of logging data to select sensitive elastic properties that are sensitive to the porosity of the target reservoir section, and establishing the relationship between these sensitive parameters and porosity (function type and parameters); then, the sensitive elastic parameters are calculated using the seismic inversion results, and the spatial distribution characteristics of reservoir porosity are obtained using the relationship. This method requires determining the porosity sensitive parameters and their relationships during the cross-analysis stage. The other approach uses reservoir porosity as the inversion object or parameter, performing model-based seismic inversion to directly obtain the porosity. Due to the inherent ambiguity of inversion, and the even greater uncertainty in multi-parameter inversion including porosity, the former method is the most widely used in practice. However, in practical applications, the former method always employs a deterministic approach, meaning that the coefficients or parameters of the function determined during the function relationship establishment stage are fixed, resulting in a unique prediction outcome. Summary of the Invention

[0047] Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail. While preferred embodiments of the invention are described below, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0048] Example 1:

[0049] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This disclosure provides a method for predicting porosity. It includes the following steps:

[0050] S1: Acquire well logging data, well logging porosity interpretation results, and pre-stack seismic inversion results;

[0051] S2: Obtain elastic parameters based on the well logging data;

[0052] S3: Perform cross-analysis between the elastic parameters and the well logging porosity interpretation results to obtain reservoir porosity-sensitive elastic parameters;

[0053] S4: Based on the reservoir porosity-sensitive elastic parameters and the well logging porosity interpretation results, the function coefficients and standard deviations are obtained using a correlation vector machine;

[0054] S5: Calculate the reservoir porosity-sensitive elastic parameters using the pre-stack seismic inversion results, and obtain the reservoir porosity probability data volume based on the basis functions, the function coefficients, the standard deviation, and the calculated reservoir porosity-sensitive elastic parameters.

[0055] The following provides a detailed explanation of each step.

[0056] Perform step S1 to obtain well logging data, well logging porosity interpretation results, and pre-stack seismic inversion results.

[0057] In this embodiment, the logging data mainly consists of porosity φ and P-wave velocity V. p Shear wave velocity V s Density ρ.

[0058] Perform step S2 to obtain elastic parameters based on the well logging data.

[0059] In this embodiment, the elastic parameters mainly include the following parameters:

[0060] Longitudinal wave impedance: I p =V p ·ρ

[0061] Transverse wave impedance: I s =V s ·ρ

[0062] P-wave to S-wave velocity ratio:

[0063] λρ:

[0064] μρ:

[0065] Poisson's ratio:

[0066] Bulk modulus:

[0067] Shear modulus:

[0068] Young's modulus: E = 3·K·(1-2·σ)

[0069] Elastic resistance: Among them

[0070] You can also define some calculation parameters yourself, for example:

[0071] Steps S3 and S4 are executed to perform cross-analysis of the elastic parameters and the well logging porosity interpretation results to obtain reservoir porosity-sensitive elastic parameters; based on the reservoir porosity-sensitive elastic parameters and the well logging porosity interpretation results, the function coefficients and standard deviations are obtained using a correlation vector machine.

[0072] In this embodiment, assuming the reservoir porosity-sensitive elastic parameter obtained in step S3 is X, and the well logging porosity interpretation result is represented by Y, then the training data obtained from the well logging data is represented as D(X, Y); the relationship between Y and X is obtained through the training data: The residual is ε, and f(X, W) can be linear or other functions. For abstract functions f(X, W), the computation needs to be specific; a common approach is to introduce basis functions. Then f(X, W) is considered as being composed of Obtained by linear combination:

[0073] Conventional deterministic methods ignore residuals and then determine the parameters W. The correlation vector machine, however, within a Bayesian framework, treats the coefficients W and residuals ε as random variables following a certain probability distribution. It assumes that the residuals ε have a mean of 0 and a variance of σ. ε Gaussian noise, i.e.

[0074]

[0075] According to Bayesian box theory, the posterior distribution of parameter W given data D(Y,X) can be expressed as:

[0076]

[0077] Where P(W) is the prior distribution of parameter W, P(D) is the prior distribution of parameter D, and P(D|W) represents the likelihood function of coefficient W given data D(Y, X), and it is assumed that P(D|W) is normally distributed: i.e.

[0078]

[0079] For P(W), it is also assumed to have a mean of 0 and a variance of σ. w It follows a Gaussian distribution. Finding the parameter W can be considered as finding P(W). Assume each component w in the coefficient W... i It is determined by a hyperparameter α i Control, thereby transforming the distribution P(W) of coefficient W into:

[0080]

[0081] In other words, finding the parameter W is transformed into finding the hyperparameter α. According to Bayesian theory, the problem is transformed into the following form:

[0082] P(W, α, σ) ε |D)=P(W|D,α,σ ε )·P(α,σ ε |D),

[0083] The likelihood is:

[0084]

[0085] Where A is a diagonal element α i The diagonal matrix; σ ε σ is the standard deviation; W is the function coefficient; α is the hyperparameter controlling the coefficients of the function; P(α, σ) ε |D) represents α and σ given data D. ε The joint probability distribution of ; Y is porosity.

[0086] P(α,σ ε |D)∝P(D|α,σ ε )·P(α)·P(σ ε )

[0087]

[0088]

[0089]

[0090] Where Γ(a)=∫0 ∞ t a-1 ·e -t ·dt is the gamma function.

[0091] The parameters a, b, c, and d can be obtained using data and optimization methods. Alternatively, a simple approximation method can be used, where they are set to very small numbers, for example, a = b = c = d = 10. -6 .

[0092] In this way, P(W, α, σ) can be obtained from the data D(Y, X). ε |D).

[0093] Execute step S5, calculate the reservoir porosity-sensitive elastic parameter using the pre-stack seismic inversion results, and obtain the reservoir porosity probability data volume based on the basis function, the function coefficients, the standard deviation, and the calculated reservoir porosity-sensitive elastic parameter.
