Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention generally relates to the field of seismic exploration technology. More specifically, this invention relates to a method for constructing a weathering crust reservoir thickness prediction model and predicting the thickness of weathering crust reservoirs. Background Technology

[0002] Seismic data acquisition and processing, two of the three major stages of seismic exploration, involve the manipulation of basic data. Seismic data interpretation transforms this data into abstract geological terms, namely, determining the geological structure and spatial location based on seismic data, inferring the lithology, thickness, and interlayer contact relationships of strata, locating oil and gas reservoirs, and providing accurate well locations for drilling. It is generally believed that the thickness of a stratum that can be identified by seismic activity in the time domain is H = formation velocity V / 4.6 times the dominant frequency; reservoirs with a thickness less than this are considered thin layers.

[0003] Weathering crust, as a type of oil and gas reservoir, has a certain thickness and distribution range in space, and is covered and buried by overlying strata in time. It has a certain porosity and permeability, enabling it to store and preserve oil and gas. Weathering crust reservoirs are geological bodies formed by long-term supergene lithification. Even after later burial, they still retain a certain oil and gas storage capacity. In many cases, weathering crust reservoirs are thin layers, making them difficult to clearly image in seismic data volumes.

[0004] Due to the thin-layered nature of weathered crust reservoirs, the amplitudes at their top and bottom interfaces partially cancel each other out or interfere with each other, making it difficult to accurately predict the thickness of weathered crust reservoirs using the amplitude at a single point.

[0041] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Seismic exploration is a geophysical exploration method that uses artificially generated seismic waves to locate mineral deposits and obtain engineering geological information. Its basic principle is as follows: Seismic waves are generated by artificially generating a seismic source. When these waves propagate through rock, they are reflected or refracted when they encounter interfaces between rock strata. These reflected or refracted waves are received by recording instruments such as geophones upon returning to the surface, forming seismic data. Through analysis, processing, and comprehensive interpretation of this seismic data, the burial depth and shape of the rock strata where the seismic waves were reflected or refracted are determined, thus achieving accurate imaging of underground geological structures.

[0043] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a three-dimensional seismic exploration system is shown as an example.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, in the system 100, multiple geophones 110, spaced apart from each other, are arranged on the surface 101 of the exploration target area to form a geophone array covering the target area on a plane. These geophones 110 are connected to the seismic information processing equipment via wired or wireless connections. Multiple seismic sources 120 are also provided. The seismic information processing equipment can perform preliminary processing on the seismic data. The working process of the three-dimensional seismic exploration system is as follows: seismic sources 120 located at multiple locations are artificially excited to generate seismic waves. The seismic waves are reflected from the boundaries of the strata 102 and received by the geophone array, forming seismic information that varies over time and is collected on a plane. The seismic information received by the geophone array represents certain measures of seismic wave energy as a function of time, such as displacement, velocity, wave impedance, and pressure. This information can be grouped in different ways, such as traces and sets, and then processed or converted according to the correspondence between time and space to form a three-dimensional seismic data volume in the form of a three-dimensional array. In other words, this three-dimensional seismic data volume is formed by the spatial stacking of interface points. Interpreting three-dimensional seismic data volumes allows for observation of geological interfaces from different directions, and the study of geological volume variations in three-dimensional space can be achieved by cutting cross sections, longitudinal sections, and horizontal slices.

[0045] Figure 2 A schematic diagram illustrating the steps of constructing a weathering crust reservoir thickness prediction model is shown.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, a method 200 for constructing a weathered crust reservoir thickness prediction model includes: Step S201, calibrating three-dimensional seismic data using well logging data from multiple wells passing through the weathered crust to obtain first seismic data. Step S202, performing adaptive dip-constrained median filtering on the first seismic data to obtain second seismic data. Step S203, performing Gilbert transform on the second seismic data to obtain a three-dimensional instantaneous frequency data volume. Step S204, acquiring multiple sets of well point data pairs from the three-dimensional instantaneous frequency data volume, wherein each well point data pair includes: wellbore thickness corresponding to the weathered crust reservoir, instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection peak of the well-side seismic trace, instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection trough of the well-side seismic trace, instantaneous frequency corresponding to the amplitude zero point of the well-side seismic trace, and two-way reflection time between the reflection peak and reflection trough of the well-side seismic trace. Step S205, fitting an expression for the weathered crust reservoir thickness based on the multiple sets of well point data pairs to obtain a weathered crust reservoir thickness prediction model.

[0047] The expression for the thickness of the weathering crust reservoir is:

[0048] H = aF peak +bF trough +cF0+dΔt,

[0049] Where H represents the predicted thickness of the weathering crust reservoir, and Fpeak F represents the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflected wave peak. trough F0 represents the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the trough of the reflected wave, Δt represents the two-way reflection time between the peak and the trough of the reflected wave, and a, b, c, and d represent the weight values, respectively.

[0050] The instantaneous frequency of an earthquake is the time derivative of its instantaneous phase, related to the spectrum of the formation velocity, and is the rate of change of the instantaneous phase over time. The instantaneous frequency is controlled by the properties of the formation through which the seismic wave passes; it is a physical property of the seismic wave signal, related to the density of the formation, and is often used as an indicator of formation thickness.

[0051] The instantaneous frequencies corresponding to the reflection peaks, troughs, and zero amplitude, as well as the two-way reflection time between the reflection peaks and troughs, are all directly related to the formation thickness. Therefore, the thickness of the weathered crust reservoir can be characterized by using the correspondence between the weathered crust reservoir thickness and the above parameters, and employing a polynomial regression fitting method.

[0052] The sample data for the weathered crust reservoir thickness prediction model includes training and validation data, both constructed based on existing well logging and seismic data of weathered crust reservoirs. First, seismic data containing the weathered crust reservoir is acquired to construct a three-dimensional seismic data volume. Multiple wells are then set up at the location of the weathered crust reservoir to obtain logging data. The logging data includes the actual thickness of the weathered crust reservoir at the wellbore location, i.e., the wellbore thickness corresponding to the weathered crust reservoir. After performing a Gilbert transform on the three-dimensional seismic data volume, based on the correspondence between the first seismic data and the three-dimensional instantaneous frequency data volume, well-side seismic traces are extracted. The instantaneous frequencies corresponding to the reflection peaks, reflection troughs, and zero amplitude points of the well-side seismic traces, as well as the two-way reflection time between the reflection peaks and troughs of the well-side seismic traces, are read. These parameters are then correlated with the wellbore weathered crust reservoir thickness to form wellpoint data pairs. Table 1 shows a feasible format for the wellpoint data pairs.

[0053] Table 1.

[0055] Based on the number of wells, multiple well point data pairs can be constructed to fit the expression for the thickness of the weathered crust reservoir mentioned above, and the weight values ​​can be obtained to obtain the weathered crust reservoir thickness prediction model.

[0056] Figure 3 A schematic cross-sectional view of three-dimensional seismic data according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0057] In step S201, the three-dimensional seismic data is calibrated using well logging data from multiple wells penetrating the weathered crust to obtain the first seismic data. For example... Figure 3 As shown, well logging information is used to calibrate the seismic profile. Well logging Qc2 can reflect the strata containing the weathering crust and its thickness, and has a corresponding well-side seismic trace on the first seismic data.

[0058] Figure 4 A schematic cross-sectional view of the three-dimensional instantaneous frequency data volume after Gilbert transform is shown.

[0059] In step S202, median filtering improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflection data in the second seismic data. The terminology of adaptive dip-constrained median filtering is a prior art and will not be elaborated upon here. For example: Yin Chuan, Du Xiangdong, Zhao Rumin, Wu Kui, Deng Jun, Shen Ye. 2014. Tectonic Steering Filtering Based on Dip Control and Its Application [J]. Progress in Geophysics, 29(6):2818-2822, doi:10.6038 / pg20140650.

[0060] In step S203, the second seismic data is subjected to a Gilbert transform to obtain a three-dimensional instantaneous frequency data volume. Figure 4 In the instantaneous frequency profile shown, the intensity of the frequency energy (i.e., amplitude) is represented by the color intensity. Since the data was calibrated using well logging in the first seismic data, there is a correspondence between the well depth corresponding to the well logging and the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection peak, the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection trough, and the two-way reflection time between the reflection peak and the reflection trough in the three-dimensional instantaneous data volume. The above data can be directly read from the three-dimensional instantaneous frequency data volume after Gilbert transformation.

[0061] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a single-channel seismic waveform before and after the Gilbert transform is shown.

[0062] like Figure 5 As shown, the left side displays the original seismic trace waveform, and the right side displays the instantaneous frequency waveform after Gilbert transform. The instantaneous frequencies corresponding to the peaks, zeros, and troughs of the amplitude can be directly read from the transformed instantaneous frequency waveform. The two-way reflection time between the reflected wave peak and the reflected wave trough can be directly obtained from... Figure 4 The waveform information obtained from the data can represent the depth of a certain weathering crust.

[0063] In embodiments of the present invention, multiple sets of well point data pairs are constructed using multiple wells, and the least squares method is used to fit each pair to obtain the weight values ​​of the expression for the thickness of the weathered crust reservoir. The weathered crust reservoir thickness prediction model incorporates four elements: the instantaneous frequencies corresponding to the peak, zero point, and trough of the amplitude, and the two-way reflection time between the reflected peak and the reflected trough. This reduces the interference in thickness prediction when the weathered crust reservoir is thin, resulting in a more accurate predicted value for the thickness of the weathered crust reservoir.

[0064] In embodiments of the present invention, the factors reflecting thickness are integrated using linear polynomial expressions, which simplifies the computational complexity during model building and increases the speed of model creation.

[0065] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes obtaining systematic error values ​​by calibrating the model using data from multiple well points, and constructing an optimized weathering crust reservoir thickness prediction model:

[0066] H′=aF peak +bF trough +cF0+dΔt+σ,

[0067] Where H′ represents the corrected predicted thickness of the weathering crust reservoir, and F peak F represents the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflected wave peak. trough F0 represents the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the trough of the reflected wave, Δt represents the two-way reflection time between the peak and trough of the reflected wave, a, b, c, and d represent the weight values, and σ represents the system error value.

[0068] When using data from multiple well points to calibrate the weathered crust reservoir thickness prediction model, a systematic error value is introduced to correct the deviation of the prediction results, making the predicted thickness value of the weathered crust reservoir more accurate. In an embodiment of the present invention, the systematic error value is the average of the differences between the wellbore thickness and the predicted thickness of the weathered crust reservoir from multiple well point data.

[0069] By substituting multiple wellpoint data points into the weathered crust reservoir thickness prediction model, multiple predicted thicknesses can be obtained. These thicknesses are then correlated with multiple wellhead thicknesses. The differences between these thicknesses are calculated, and the average of these differences yields the error value. The error value obtained by this method has a statistically significant bias buffering effect, effectively improving the accuracy of the predicted weathered crust reservoir thickness.

[0070] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for predicting the thickness of a weathering crust reservoir is provided, comprising: obtaining the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection peak of the weathering crust reservoir, the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection trough, the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the amplitude zero point, and the two-way reflection time between the reflection peak and the reflection trough; inputting the weathering crust reservoir thickness prediction model to obtain the weathering crust reservoir thickness.

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system for predicting the thickness of a weathered crust reservoir is also provided, comprising: a data acquisition module for acquiring the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection peak, the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection trough, the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the amplitude zero point, and the two-way reflection time between the reflection peak and the reflection trough of the weathered crust reservoir; and a prediction module for inputting the instantaneous frequencies corresponding to the reflection peak, the reflection trough, the amplitude zero point, and the two-way reflection time between the reflection peak and the reflection trough of the weathered crust reservoir into a weathered crust reservoir thickness prediction model to obtain the weathered crust reservoir thickness. This system can be implemented using hardware such as a computer, cloud processor, or circuitry with corresponding programs.

[0072] According to one embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection peak, the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection trough, the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the zero amplitude point, and the two-way reflection time between the reflection peak and the reflection trough of a weathered crust reservoir includes: acquiring a three-dimensional seismic data volume containing the weathered crust reservoir; acquiring well logging data of a well passing through the weathered crust; calibrating the three-dimensional seismic data volume using the well logging data to obtain the stratigraphic information of the weathered crust reservoir; and extracting the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection peak, the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection trough, the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the zero amplitude point, and the two-way reflection time between the reflection peak and the reflection trough of the weathered crust reservoir based on the stratigraphic information.

[0073] The present invention also provides an apparatus for constructing a weathering crust thickness prediction model, which can be implemented by hardware or a combination of hardware, wherein the hardware or combination of hardware contains a program for executing the above-described method. The system includes: a first module for calibrating 3D seismic data using logging data from multiple wells passing through the weathered crust to obtain first seismic data; a second module for performing adaptive dip-constrained median filtering on the first seismic data to obtain second seismic data; a third module for performing Gilbert transform on the second seismic data to obtain a 3D instantaneous frequency data volume; a fourth module for acquiring multiple sets of well point data pairs from the 3D instantaneous frequency data volume, wherein each well point data pair includes: wellbore thickness corresponding to the weathered crust reservoir, instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection peak of the well-side seismic trace, instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflection trough of the well-side seismic trace, instantaneous frequency corresponding to the zero amplitude point of the well-side seismic trace, and two-way reflection time between the reflection peak and reflection trough of the well-side seismic trace; and a fifth module for fitting an expression for the weathered crust reservoir thickness based on the multiple sets of well point data pairs to obtain a weathered crust reservoir thickness prediction model; the expression for the weathered crust reservoir thickness is:

[0074] H = aF peak +bF trough +cF0+dΔt,

[0075] Where H represents the predicted thickness of the weathering crust reservoir, and F peak F represents the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the reflected wave peak. trough F0 represents the instantaneous frequency corresponding to the trough of the reflected wave, Δt represents the two-way reflection time between the peak and the trough of the reflected wave, and a, b, c, and d represent the weight values, respectively.

[0076] Modules one through five can be separate actuators logically connected to each other, or they can be computer processors that execute the above methods serially.
