Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of exploration geophysics, and in particular to a pre-stack OVT domain fluid prediction method based on AVO forward simulation. Background Art

[0002] Prestack seismic data contains more frequency information and has better resolution. People have developed prestack elastic inversion technology, prestack seismic inversion technology and quantitative AVO technology using prestack seismic data. They all use prestack CRP gather data (or partial stacking data), velocity data (generally offset velocity) and well data (S-wave velocity, P-wave velocity, density and other elastic parameter data) to obtain various elastic parameters related to lithology and oil and gas content by using different approximate inversion solutions, and further use them to predict reservoir lithology, reservoir physical properties and oil and gas content.

[0003] With the continuous advancement of exploration technology, more and more OVT domain wide azimuth and large offset pre-stack gather data have appeared and are used in production. Compared with conventional pre-stack gather seismic, OVT domain pre-stack gather retains more azimuth information. During the seismic propagation process, the information of underground geological bodies recorded at different azimuths and offsets is different. Therefore, using OVT domain pre-stack gathers to carry out lithology or fluid prediction is an important direction for future seismic exploration. Summary of the invention

[0044] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] A specific embodiment 1 of the present invention is applied, Figure 1 The flowchart of the pre-stack OVT domain fluid prediction method based on AVO forward simulation of the present invention is as follows. The pre-stack OVT domain fluid prediction method based on AVO forward simulation of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0047] Step 101, selecting typical oil layer wells based on well logging, mud logging and drilling data such as integrated multipole array acoustic waves to perform AVO forward simulation of single wells, and clarifying the variation characteristics of seismic amplitude at the oil layer development position with offset distance. Figure 2 This is an AVO forward modeling diagram of a typical oil well in Shengli 1 work area in a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3This is an intersection diagram of oil layer amplitude and offset distance in Shengli 1 work area in a specific embodiment of the present invention. It is found that when the reservoir contains oil, the seismic amplitude decreases as the offset distance increases; the process enters step 102.

[0048] Step 102, conduct anisotropy analysis of the actual OVT domain pre-stack gathers in the work area to confirm that the target layer has anisotropy and conduct anisotropy research. Figure 4 This is an anisotropy analysis diagram of the OVT domain pre-stack gathers in Shengli 1 area. The amplitude slices show that anisotropy exists in different directions and at different offsets. The process enters step 103.

[0049] Step 103, by changing the azimuth and offset sector ranges in the OVT domain pre-stack gather stacking template view, find the sector that makes the pre-stack gather amplitude response of the typical oil layer well position in the work area have the same amplitude response characteristics as the single well AVO forward simulation in step 1, and verify it with other blind wells in the work area (including oil layer wells and water layer wells), clarify the sector range that can reflect the oil content in the OVT domain pre-stack gather, record the azimuth and offset range of the sector, and establish the stacking template. Figure 5 This is the template view of the oil content prediction sector in Shengli No. 1 work area. Figure 6 This is the intersection diagram of the seismic response amplitude of the target oil layer in the OVT domain pre-stack gather and the offset distance. The seismic amplitude of the oil layer decreases with the increase of the offset distance. Figure 7 This is an intersection diagram of the seismic response amplitude of the water layer in the OVT domain pre-stack gather of the Shengli 1 work area and the offset distance in a specific embodiment of the present invention. The seismic amplitude of the water layer does not change substantially with the increase of the offset distance. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The comparison shows Figure 5 The amplitude response characteristics of the oil layer and the water layer in the template are different. The process proceeds to step 104.

[0050] In step 104, based on the stacking template established in step 103, the AVO attribute class analysis of the target layer in the work area is carried out on the pre-stack gathers within the template range to obtain the AVO attribute class map. Figure 8 It is a pseudo-Poisson's ratio attribute map of a target layer in Shengli 1 work area in a specific embodiment of the present invention. The process enters step 105.

[0051] In step 105, the differences in different attributes are analyzed by using geological statistics to find an attribute map with a high consistency with the actual drilling oil content, and to clarify the oil and gas distribution pattern in the work area. Fig. 9 This is a plan view of the oil and gas distribution pattern of a target layer in Shengli No. 1 work area. The process ends.

[0052] This embodiment provides a pre-stack OVT domain fluid prediction method based on AVO forward simulation. By combining the AVO forward simulation of a single well (oil layer well) in the work area with the anisotropy analysis of the OVT domain pre-stack gathers, a stacking template with oil and gas pointing significance is established. The attribute prediction performed on this template can better predict the plane distribution law of oil and gas.

[0053] Beneficial effects: The pre-stack OVT domain fluid prediction method based on AVO forward simulation of the present invention can conveniently use the anisotropic characteristics of the OVT domain pre-stack gather data to detect the oil and gas content of the region, and guide the comprehensive evaluation and exploration deployment of the exploration area.

[0054] The present invention is based on anisotropy analysis of pre-stack gather data in the OVT domain, makes full use of logging, mud logging and other data, and establishes a reliable stacking template. The oil content prediction based on this is objective and reliable.

[0055] The above specific implementation methods further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above are only specific implementation methods of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
