[0002] The Kuqa Depression is affected by intense tectonic activity and the presence of the Kumugeliemu Group gypsum-salt rock layer has developed a series of thrust-nappe structural systems with the structural characteristics of "north-south zoning, east-west segmentation, and vertical superposition". In complex structural superposition areas such as the Kuqa Depression, quantitative prediction of the development and distribution of reservoir geomechanical parameters is crucial for oil and gas development.

[0003] Previous studies have focused on the analysis of north-south zoning and east-west segmentation characteristics, and there are few targeted studies on vertical superposition characteristics. The Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN112764097A proposes a spatial superposition three-dimensional structural modeling method, device and computer storage medium, obtains seismic interpretation data in the depth domain, divides adjacent layers with exactly the same fault development into a group, establishes a section model and a layer model in each structural model, and spatially superimposes the section models in adjacent structural models to obtain a three-dimensional section model of the entire layer. The layer models in adjacent structural models are spatially superimposed to obtain a three-dimensional layer model of the entire layer. The Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN116411942A proposes a high-angle well trajectory design method for complex superimposed oil reservoirs.

The Chinese invention patent with publication number CN103913774A proposes a reservoir geomechanical parameter inversion method based on microseismic events. The method includes the steps of processing the microseismic event cloud with a Gaussian distribution function continuously, selecting a prediction model, calculating the Kalman filter factor, updating the reservoir geomechanical parameters, obtaining the actual reservoir geomechanical parameters, and establishing an accurate underground reservoir geomechanical model. However, it fails to take into account the complex structural superposition characteristics and is not applicable to areas with complex superimposed structures such as the Kuche Depression. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for quantitatively predicting reservoir geomechanical parameters in complex structural superposition areas with comprehensive consideration of factors and high credibility of results. It comprehensively considers the distance from the fault and the rock mechanical property model of fracture weakening, combines experimental testing, well logging interpretation and three-dimensional seismic data, constructs the natural fracture field and rock mechanical field in the complex structural superposition area, and realizes quantitative prediction.

[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for quantitatively predicting reservoir geomechanical parameters in a complex structural superposition area. First, drilling cores, conventional logging, imaging logging and three-dimensional seismic data in the complex structural superposition area are collected, rock mechanical parameters are calculated by experiments and logging, and a single well rock mechanical parameter profile S0 is constructed; then, fracture parameters are picked up, and the relationship between the fracture density of the upper and lower plates of the fault and the distance from the fault f1, f2 and the fracture weakening rock mechanical property model F are established, and then S0 is converted into a rock mechanical parameter profile S1 under the actual formation fracture condition, and the relationship between it and the seismic attributes is established, and finally the natural fracture field and rock mechanical field in the complex structural superposition area are constructed to achieve quantitative prediction of reservoir geomechanical parameters.

[0006] The specific steps are as follows:

[0007] Step 1: Collect cross-fault drilling cores in complex structural overlapping areas and collect conventional logging, imaging logging and 3D seismic data;

[0008] Step 2, using the drilling core and conventional logging data obtained in step 1 to carry out triaxial rock mechanics experiments and logging rock mechanics parameter calculations, respectively, to obtain static and dynamic rock mechanics parameters, and then establish a dynamic and static rock mechanics parameter conversion model to construct a single well rock mechanics parameter profile S0;

[0009] Step 3, using the imaging logging data obtained in step 1 to extract natural fracture parameters, calculate fracture density, and respectively establish the relationship between fracture density and distance from the fault in the upper and lower walls of the fault, f1 and f2, and then construct a fracture field in the complex structural superposition area based on fracture density and distance from the fault;

[0010] Step 4, constructing a fracture-weakened rock mechanical property model F based on theoretical analysis;

[0011] Step 5, using the relationships f1 and f2 obtained in step 3 and the model F obtained in step 4, the rock mechanics profile S0 constructed in step 1 is converted into a rock mechanics parameter profile S1 under the actual formation fracture condition;

[0012] Step 6, using the three-dimensional seismic data obtained in step 1 to extract the seismic attribute volume, establish the relationship between it and the rock mechanics profile S1 obtained in step 5, and construct the rock mechanics field of the complex structural superposition area.

[0013] Furthermore, the drilling core collected in step 1 needs to be processed into a size of 25mm diameter × height × 50mm. Conventional logging data at least includes gamma GR, acoustic wave time difference AC, density DEN curve and core filling altitude and core filling height. The three-dimensional seismic data needs to be depth domain data.

[0014] Furthermore, in step 2, the rock mechanical parameters are calculated by conventional logging data mainly through the following formula:

[0018] Furthermore, the crack density in step 3 is expressed in the form of line density, that is, the number of cracks per unit length:

[0019]

[0020] Where: f d is the crack density, n is the number of cracks, and l is the length of the measurement section.

[0021] The relationship between the density of the cracks in the upper and lower walls of the fault and the distance from the fault f1 and f2 are:

[0022]

[0023] Where: f1 and f2 are the fracture densities of the upper and lower walls of the fault, respectively; g1 and g2 are the distances between f1 and f2 and the fault; and d is the distance between the measuring point and the fault.

[0024] Furthermore, the fracture-weakening rock mechanical property model F constructed in step 4 using two groups of fractures as an example is:

[0025]

[0026]

[0027] Where: E eq and μ eq are the equivalent rock elastic modulus, E and μ are the intact rock elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio, α and β are the acute angles between the first group of cracks and the horizontal plane, and between the second group and the first group of cracks, S1 and S2 are the spacings between the second group and the first group of cracks, respectively. K n1 and K n2 are the normal stiffness of the second and first group of cracks, respectively, K s1 and K s2 are the shear stiffnesses of the second and first groups of cracks, respectively.

[0028] Furthermore, in step 6, the seismic attributes at least include the coherence volume and the wave impedance, and the following relationship is established:

[0029]

[0030] Where: Eeq and μ eq are the equivalent rock elastic modulus, X is the coherent body attribute, and P is the wave impedance attribute.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0032] At present, there is no research method for reservoir geomechanical parameters in complex structural superposition areas. In order to quantitatively characterize the superposition characteristics of complex structures and predict reservoir geomechanical parameters, the patent of this invention comprehensively considers the distance from the fault and the rock mechanical property model of fracture weakening, realizes the quantitative prediction of underground natural fracture distribution and accurate characterization of rock mechanical properties, and combines experimental testing, well logging interpretation and three-dimensional seismic data to construct the natural fracture field and rock mechanical field in the complex structural superposition area, and realizes the quantitative prediction of reservoir geomechanical parameters.
