Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of petroleum exploration and development technology, and in particular to a method and system for predicting carbonate reservoirs based on seismic sedimentology in complex lithological contexts. Background Technology

[0002] Reservoir prediction is one of the most critical aspects of the oil and gas industry today. With the continuous advancement of global oil and gas exploration and development, the target of reservoir prediction is gradually shifting from thick reservoirs with simple lithology to thin reservoirs with complex lithology, leading to increasingly higher requirements for prediction accuracy. Traditional reservoir prediction methods relying on geological data such as outcrops and wells are insufficient to meet the demands for high-precision reservoir prediction. Because geophysical data has high lateral resolution, it is an effective means of predicting the spatial distribution of reservoirs. Therefore, seismic prediction is currently the primary reservoir prediction method in the industry.

[0003] Seismic reservoir prediction can be divided into qualitative and quantitative prediction. Qualitative reservoir analysis primarily focuses on seismic attribute analysis. Seismic attributes refer to the geometric, kinematic, dynamic, and statistical characteristics of seismic waves derived from pre-stack or post-stack seismic data through mathematical transformations. Attribute analysis extracts information about reservoirs, structures, and physical properties hidden within the seismic data, achieving the goal of describing reservoir characteristic parameters. Quantitative prediction mainly refers to seismic inversion, which involves inferring the internal structure, morphology, and material composition of a target body within the Earth using known geophysical and geological data, and quantitatively calculating various related rock physical parameters to achieve the purpose of reservoir prediction.

[0004] Due to the complexity of geological conditions and the limitations of the technology itself, various seismic attribute analyses have certain applicable conditions, and their prediction results are often ambiguous. Seismic inversion technology, firstly, is unsuitable for large-scale use in the early stages of exploration and development due to its enormous computational load and cost, and secondly, the problem of ambiguity persists when predicting reservoirs in complex lithological settings. Therefore, there is currently no truly effective technical means for reservoir prediction in complex lithological settings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a method and system for predicting carbonate reservoirs based on seismic sedimentology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for predicting carbonate reservoirs based on seismic sedimentology includes the following steps:

[0008] S1. Collect regional geological survey data, seismic data, well logging curves, drilling information, and stratigraphic data for the study area;

[0009] S2. By analyzing seismic data and well logging curves, identify and delineate the single-well sequence boundaries of the target layer, and perform sequence comparison.

[0010] S3. Evaluate the seismic amplitude data of the target layer and perform spectral analysis to determine the effective signal range;

[0011] S4. Within the effective signal range, the seismic data is processed by frequency division to obtain seismic data in multiple frequency bands and to produce frequency-divided single-well synthetic records. The frequency-divided data volume with the highest correlation coefficient is selected, and the sequence interface tracing and interpretation scheme is clarified.

[0012] S5. Perform high-precision sequence boundary seismic tracking interpretation to determine the range of sequence plane distribution;

[0013] S6. Analyze the distribution pattern of reservoirs within the well-seismic sequence framework and the distribution of special lithologies;

[0014] S7. Establish seismic forward modeling geological models for sequence stratigraphy, internal reservoirs, and special lithologies;

[0015] S8. Select an appropriate forward modeling method to perform seismic forward modeling to confirm the seismic response characteristics of reservoirs and special lithologies;

[0016] S9. Based on S5 to S8, select appropriate seismic reservoir prediction methods or technologies for reservoirs at different sequence locations and carry out reservoir prediction work.

[0017] S91. Select sequence stratigraphic units that are related to the distribution of reservoirs and special lithologies, and use the characteristics of these stratigraphic units as a priori conditions for subsequent reservoir prediction.

[0018] S92. Based on the results of S92, select qualitative or quantitative reservoir prediction methods to predict reservoir development zones.

[0019] S10. Evaluation and analysis of reservoir prediction results: The data of regional geological understanding and drilling test results related to reservoir development are superimposed and evaluated to eliminate abnormal areas caused by systematic errors, so as to realize reservoir prediction in complex lithological backgrounds.

[0020] Furthermore, the identification markers for single-well sequence interface identification and sequence correlation in S2 include, but are not limited to, markers of lithology, electrical properties, paleontology, and geochemical indicators.

[0021] Furthermore, the effective signal range parameters in S3 include: main frequency and bandwidth.

[0022] Furthermore, in S4, frequency division techniques based on fast matching pursuit, wavelet transform, and S-transform are used for testing, and the processing method with the best profile effect and layer sequence characterization capability is selected to perform frequency division processing on the original amplitude data volume.

[0023] Furthermore, in S5, for sequence interfaces with clear reflection features, clear interfaces, and strong traceability, seed point technology is used to assist in interpretation and tracing to reduce the interpretation workload; for sequence interfaces with relatively blurry reflection interfaces and poor traceability, manual interpretation is the main method, supplemented by auxiliary tracing and solution techniques.

[0024] Furthermore, in S6, within the well-seismic sequence framework, the impedance characteristics of special lithologies should be given special attention, especially lithologies that are easily confused with reservoir sections; for these special lithologies, a comprehensive analysis should be conducted in conjunction with downhole geological information and seismic data to ensure accurate identification of reservoir sections and avoid confusion.

[0025] Furthermore, in S7, based on the analysis of sequence stratigraphy, reservoir, and distribution of special lithological bodies, the thickness, sonic transit time, and density of the theoretical model unit are obtained; the parameters are verified and corrected using seismic data and downhole geological data to ensure that the obtained theoretical model unit parameters are accurate and reliable.

[0026] Furthermore, in S8, the theoretical wavelet in the seismic forward modeling should be selected to have the same dominant frequency and bandwidth as the actual seismic data; by picking up and implementing the well-side wavelet, it is ensured that the selected theoretical wavelet conforms to the characteristics of the actual seismic data; the seismic forward modeling excitation method is selected by ray tracing to achieve reasonable seismic wave excitation and propagation.

[0027] Furthermore, in S9, according to sedimentological principles, reservoir development and the depositional distribution of special lithologies are controlled by related sequence stratigraphy. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct correlation analysis between sequence stratigraphy, reservoirs, and special lithologies. Through the correlation analysis between sequence stratigraphy, reservoirs, and special lithologies, the development probability of reservoirs and characteristic lithologies in a certain area is indicated, serving as a priori conditions for reservoir prediction, thereby improving the accuracy of reservoir prediction. When conducting the analysis, it is important to note that the analysis scope of isochronous stratigraphic thickness should not only include the sequence stratigraphy but also consider the systems tracts that constitute the sequence stratigraphy to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the analysis.

[0028] Furthermore, in S10, the reservoir prediction results are corrected based on the actual drilling conditions to ensure that the prediction results are consistent with the actual situation; the prediction results are verified and confirmed by combining the data evaluation results in S3, regional geological understanding, and drilling results data, and abnormal areas that may be caused by abnormal data are eliminated; by eliminating abnormal areas, the accuracy and reliability of the prediction results are improved, ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of subsequent work.

[0029] This invention also discloses a carbonate reservoir prediction system based on seismic sedimentology. This system can be used to implement the aforementioned carbonate reservoir prediction method based on seismic sedimentology, specifically including:

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0042] 1. More accurate prediction: By analyzing seismic data and well logging curves, and combining the principles of seismic sedimentology, reservoir distribution can be identified and predicted more accurately.

[0043] 2.

[0044] 3.

[0045] 4. Improve the reliability of reservoir prediction: By combining information from seismic data, well logging information, geological principles and other aspects, reservoir prediction becomes more based on evidence and more reliable.

[0046] 5. Optimize drilling decisions: Accurate reservoir prediction helps optimize drilling plans, reduce drilling risks, and improve the efficiency and economic benefits of exploration and development.

[0047] 6. Reservoir prediction based on post-stack migration data requires less computation and is faster than pre-stack reservoir prediction methods, thus improving data processing efficiency.

[0048] 7. By adopting relevant theories and methods of seismic sedimentology, the reservoir was separated from the complex lithology through sequence stratigraphy, which effectively solved the problem of the difficulty in distinguishing between reservoirs and special lithologies, thereby improving the accuracy and precision of reservoir prediction.

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for predicting carbonate reservoirs based on seismic sedimentology includes the following steps:

[0063] S1. Basic Data Collection: Collect data for the study area, including: regional geological survey data, post-stack migration seismic bodies, conventional logging curves, drilling and logging data, well deviation data, core data, stratigraphic data, seismic interpretation horizons, single-well test productivity, etc.

[0064] S2. Using data including conventional logging, imaging logging, core data, thin section data, seismic data, and geochemical indicators, the sequence boundaries of single wells in the embodiments are identified and divided, and sequence comparisons are carried out.

[0065] S3. Evaluation and spectrum analysis of the original post-stack amplitude data of the target layer, clarifying the effective signal range of the target layer data. The main frequency of the target layer data is 36Hz, and the effective bandwidth is 9-65Hz.

[0066] S4. Within the effective signal range of the original amplitude data volume, the data volume is frequency-divided to obtain seismic data volumes of multiple frequency bands. In this example, using a wavelet transform-based frequency division technique with a starting frequency of 15Hz, an ending frequency of 45Hz, and a step size of 5Hz, seven narrow frequency bands with dominant frequencies of 15Hz, 20Hz, 25Hz, 30Hz, 35Hz, 40Hz, and 45Hz are obtained. After creating frequency-divided single-well synthetic records, the correlation coefficient between the narrow frequency band data with the dominant frequency of 20Hz and the synthetic trace is 0.79, which is the highest among the seven frequency-divided data. This data is preferred as the main research data for sequence identification and characterization. After calibration, it was found that the three sequence interfaces SB1, SB2, and SB3 from bottom to top in the area all show wave crest phases and strong lateral traceability and comparability.

[0067] S5. Conduct high-precision seismic tracking and interpretation of sequence interfaces. In this example, SB1 and SB3 have stable phases and strong lateral traceability and comparability. This interface is interpreted using seed point tracking technology, with manual intervention for quality control. The lateral traceability of SB2 is weaker, so manual interpretation is the primary method. The planar distribution of the SQ1 and SQ2 sequences is obtained through fine-tuned variable-speed mapping and other work.

[0068] Analysis of reservoir distribution and special lithological patterns within the well-seismic sequence framework (S6) reveals that in the example, areas with thicker stratigraphic layers in the SQ1 highstand zone (HST) show better reservoir development, while areas with thinner stratigraphic layers show poorer reservoir development, and siliceous rock deposits are thicker. According to sedimentological principles, carbonate hill-shoal facies deposition exhibits significant geomorphic inheritance. Therefore, areas with thicker early hill-shoal deposits (i.e., thicker stratigraphic layers) have a significant constructive effect on subsequent hill-shoal formations, representing geomorphic highlands. Conversely, areas with thinner sediments, representing relatively lower energy levels, are more prone to the deposition of silica-rich fluids, resulting in siliceous rocks with impedance characteristics and reservoir mixtures as seen in the example. Therefore, the stratigraphic thickness in the SQ1 highstand zone of the example can qualitatively constrain the siliceous rock development area and reservoir development area.

[0069] S7. Based on the actual drilling conditions, extract key parameters such as the thickness, velocity and density of theoretical sequence stratigraphic units, reservoirs and special lithologies, and establish a seismic forward modeling geological model.

[0070] S8. Based on actual seismic data, select the optimal forward modeling method, conduct seismic forward modeling, and determine the seismic response characteristics of reservoirs and special lithologies. In the example, it can be found that when the top reservoir of the SQ2 sequence is developed in the study area, it is characterized by a weakening of the top amplitude. The reservoirs in the middle of the SQ2 sequence associated with siliceous rocks are characterized by weak peak amplitude. However, the peak reflection in the siliceous rock development area is stronger than that in the reservoir development area.

[0071] S9. Based on S5 to S8, select the best seismic reservoir prediction methods or technologies for reservoirs at different sequence locations and carry out reservoir prediction work.

[0072] S91. Select sequence stratigraphic units related to reservoir and special lithology distribution, and use the characteristics of the stratigraphic unit as a priori conditions for subsequent reservoir prediction. In the example, in particular, complex lithology (siliceous rock) is mixed with reservoirs in the middle of the SQ2 sequence. When the strata in the upper domain of the SQ1 sequence are thin, their peak reflection is a siliceous rock response, while in the area where the upper domain of the SQ1 sequence is thick, its peak reflection is a reservoir response.

[0073] S92. Based on the results obtained in S91, select qualitative or quantitative reservoir prediction methods to predict reservoir development zones. In this example, with the SQ1-HST thickness as a constraint, the amplitude attribute of the bottom peak of the SQ2-HST is used to characterize the reservoir in the middle of the SQ2 sequence. In areas where the SQ1-HST thickness is thinner, the area with a weaker peak amplitude is a more developed reservoir region; in areas where the SQ1-HST thickness is thicker, the area with a stronger peak amplitude is a more developed reservoir region. Based on this, the two sets of reservoir predicted thickness maps are merged into a single map.

[0074] S10. Evaluation and analysis of reservoir prediction results: This involves overlaying and evaluating relevant data such as regional geological understanding and drilling test results related to reservoir development, removing outliers caused by data limitations, and finally generating a map. In this example, the reservoir prediction results generally show a high degree of agreement with regional drilling conditions and previous results.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, clearly defining the effective signal range of the original post-stack seismic data is a fundamental condition for determining the frequency division range.

[0076] like Figure 3 As shown, the identification and division marks of the hierarchical interface are clearly defined, and a horizontal comparative analysis of the hierarchical sequence is carried out.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, by combining frequency division synthesis records, the sequence interface is accurately calibrated, and the planar distribution range and distribution pattern of each sequence and each system domain are determined.

[0078] like Figure 5 As shown in the histogram of impedance distribution of complex lithology (siliceous rock) and reservoir (limestone), it is clear that subsequent sequence stratigraphy analysis and lithological distribution should focus on the distribution relationship between siliceous rock and reservoir.

[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, based on the well profile, the distribution patterns of various geological units such as sequence stratigraphy, reservoirs, and complex lithology (siliceous rocks) are clarified, as well as key parameters such as the thickness and velocity of the forward geological model.

[0080] like Figure 7As shown, forward modeling provides a theoretical basis for sequence stratigraphy identification, tracking, and eliminating the influence of complex lithology (siliceous rocks).

[0081] like Figure 8 As shown, based on the correlation analysis between sequence stratigraphy and complex lithology and reservoirs, sequence stratigraphic units constrained by reservoir prediction are selected.

[0082] like Figure 9 As shown, the sequence stratigraphic unit planar distribution map constrained by reservoir prediction is used to delineate the dominant distribution areas of complex lithology (siliceous rocks).

[0083] like Figure 10 As shown, based on sequence stratigraphy constraints, the reservoir development in complex lithology (siliceous rock) development zones is predicted.

[0084] like Figure 11 As shown, based on sequence stratigraphy constraints, the reservoir development in underdeveloped areas with complex lithology (siliceous rocks) is predicted.

[0085] like Figure 12 As shown, the reservoir prediction plan map is the final result of outlier removal, fusion, correction, and comprehensive evaluation of the reservoir prediction plan maps in different zones.
