Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of oil and gas exploration and development, and in particular to a biaxial stress-induced anisotropic medium azimuthal seismic inversion method. Background Art

[0002] Seismic anisotropy reveals the directional dependence of seismic wave velocity and amplitude, which is of great significance for geophysical exploration and development. The physical mechanisms that cause anisotropy are diverse, including preferentially oriented crystals or minerals, fine stratification or arrangement of clay particles, accumulation of strata with different elastic properties, directional fractures, and geostress. Like intrinsic anisotropy and fracture-induced anisotropy, stress-induced anisotropy is also widely present in the underground, but it is often overlooked in seismic anisotropy studies.

[0003] At present, the PP wave reflection coefficient equation of stress-induced anisotropic media is usually derived based on the acoustoelastic theory, that is, the rock is regarded as a continuous medium, and the relationship between the inherent stress state and the elastic properties is explored from a macroscopic perspective. For example, the technical solution of the patent document "A method and system for azimuthal seismic inversion of stress-horizontally anisotropic media" (application publication number: CN115840250A) is: the first step is to establish a transversely isotropic medium (HTI medium) model with a horizontal symmetry axis under linear slip boundary conditions and apply a uniaxial small stress parallel to the symmetry axis to the HTI medium model; the second step is to decouple the stiffness tensor induced by cracks and stress in the horizontal uniaxial stress HTI medium; the third step is to establish the PP wave approximate equation for decoupling cracks and stress-induced anisotropic parameters; the fourth step is to use the difference in reflection coefficient amplitude between different azimuths for azimuthal seismic inversion. This method focuses on HTI media under horizontal stress and uses the solid acoustoelastic theory to study the influence of stress on rock properties.

[0004] However, the stress dependence of rock elastic properties can be explained as the response of microcracks in rocks to the applied stress field, that is, when isotropic rocks are subjected to anisotropic stress, microcracks perpendicular to the stress direction will be closed first, thereby inducing elastic anisotropy of the rock. However, the acoustoelastic theory cannot explain the mechanism of stress-induced elastic anisotropy from a microscopic perspective. In addition, the PP wave reflection coefficient of anisotropic media contains many unknown parameters, and the numerical contributions of different parameters to the reflection coefficient are significantly different.

[0005] Therefore, the existing multi-parameter synchronous inversion of anisotropic media often has problems such as low parameter inversion stability and poor noise resistance. Summary of the invention

[0115] like Figure 2 As shown, when isotropic rock is subjected to horizontal biaxial stress and When the stress acts, the microcracks perpendicular to the stress direction will close first, causing elastic anisotropy of the rock. Among them, ψ represents the angle between the projection of the seismic wave propagation direction on the horizontal plane and the X1 axis, which is defined as the observation azimuth; θ represents the angle between the incident seismic wave propagation direction and the X3 axis, which is defined as the seismic wave incident angle.

[0116] According to Collet et al. (Geophysics, 2014, 79(5): C135-C145, doi: 10.1190 / geo2013-0311.1.), the equivalent flexibility tensor caused by microcrack closure due to horizontal biaxial stress can be expressed as:

[0125] Furthermore, assuming that the biaxial horizontal stress is small and the anisotropy induced by the stress is weaker than that of the unstressed rock, the equivalent stiffness tensor of the biaxial stress-induced anisotropic medium can be derived as:

[0126] (7),

[0127] Combining formulas (1)-(7), the stiffness tensor of biaxial stress-induced anisotropic media can be derived as:

[0128] (8),

[0129] From the symmetry of the stiffness tensor, it can be seen that the biaxial stress-induced anisotropic medium is approximately equivalent to the orthogonal anisotropic medium. In order to simplify the stiffness tensor, the stress-induced anisotropic parameters are defined as follows:

[0130] (9),

[0131] (10),

[0132] Finally, the components of the elastic stiffness tensor in formula (8) can be expressed as:

[0133] (11),

[0134] In formula (11), , , .

[0135] Step S2, the specific steps of deriving the PP wave reflection coefficient equation of the biaxial stress-induced anisotropic medium are as follows.

[0136] According to Born scattering theory, the PP wave reflection coefficient equation can be expressed as:

[0137] (12),

[0138] In formula (12), represents the density of the background medium, is the angle of incidence, represents the perturbation of the stiffness tensor components, The specific expression is as follows:

[0139] (13),

[0141] Consider the interface of two biaxial stress-induced anisotropic media with different properties. Combined with formula (11), the perturbation terms of each component of the stiffness tensor are derived. At the same time, assuming that the difference in the properties of the media on both sides of the reflection interface is small, the influence of , , , , , , , , , , , Proportional terms, we can get:

[0142] (14),

[0143] In formula (14), △ represents the difference in the properties of the media above and below the reflection interface.

[0144] Combining formulas (12)-(14), the PP wave reflection coefficient equation of biaxial stress-induced anisotropic media can be derived as follows:

[0145] (15),

[0146] In formula (15),

[0153] ,

[0154] .

[0155] Formula (15) is compared with the reflection coefficient equation for arbitrary weakly anisotropic media proposed by Pšenčík and Martins to verify the accuracy of the equation, as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown. Figure 3The curves showing the variation of the reflection coefficient with the observation azimuth angle are shown. The dotted line represents the reflection coefficient curve calculated using the Pšenčík and Martins equations, and the solid line represents the reflection coefficient curve calculated using formula (15). Each curve in the figure corresponds to the incident angle θ = 0°, 10°, and 30° from top to bottom. Figure 4 The curves showing the change of reflection coefficient with incident angle are shown. The dotted line represents the reflection coefficient curve calculated using the Pšenčík and Martins equations, and the solid line represents the reflection coefficient curve calculated using formula (15). Each curve in the figure corresponds to the observation azimuth angle ψ = 90°, 45°, and 0° from top to bottom. Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the PP wave reflection coefficient equation (15) of the biaxial stress-induced anisotropic medium proposed in the present invention has a high degree of consistency with the Pšenčík and Martins equation, which proves the rationality of the derived equation.

[0156] Step S3, the specific steps of azimuthal seismic inversion of biaxial stress-induced anisotropic media are as follows.

[0157] Based on the azimuthal variation characteristics of the reflection coefficient of stress-induced anisotropic media, the model parameters of the anisotropic part are first inverted using the azimuthal amplitude difference method based on the Bayesian framework, considering the Cauchy prior information and low-frequency regularization constraints. Then, the inversion results are used as input to invert the model parameters of the isotropic part.

[0158] Step S31: According to formula (15), the azimuth difference reflection coefficient can be expressed as:

[0159] (19),

[0160] In formula (19), and Represent two different observation azimuths, and,

[0161] (20),

[0162] Considering the case of M reflection interfaces and L incident angles, based on the convolution model, the azimuth difference of seismic data can be expressed in matrix form as follows:

[0167] ,

[0168] ,

[0170] , , ,

[0171] , ,

[0172] Where W represents the wavelet matrix, represents the Mth reflection interface. and They represent matrix transposition and generation of an M×M diagonal matrix respectively.

[0173] In the Bayesian theory framework, the posterior probability distribution of the model parameters is Proportional to the likelihood function of the seismic data and the prior probability distribution of the model parameters ,Right now

[0174] (twenty two),

[0175] In formula (22), It is usually assumed to obey the Cauchy distribution, expressed as

[0176] (twenty three),

[0177] In formula (23), Represents the variance of the model parameters.

[0178] Assuming that the likelihood function follows a Gaussian distribution, it can be expressed as:

[0179] (twenty four),

[0180] In formula (24), represents the variance of the noise in the seismic data. The background constraints of the model parameters can effectively improve the stability of the inversion. Therefore, combined with formulas (22)-(24), the target functional can be constructed as:

[0181] (25),

[0182] In formula (25), represents the regularization coefficient of the model parameters, Represents the low-frequency components of the model parameters.

[0183] The iterative weighted least squares algorithm is used to optimize and solve formula (25). After multiple iterations, the unknown model parameters can be obtained.

[0184] Step S32: The model parameters of the anisotropic part obtained by inversion in step S31 (assuming that it is ) as input to invert the model parameters of the isotropic part.

[0186] (26),

[0187] In formula (26),

[0188] ,

[0189] ,

[0190] ,

[0191] ,

[0192] In the inversion of step S32, the forward equation (21) in the inversion of step S31 is replaced by equation (26), and the inversion target functional of step S32 can be constructed using the same inversion method as step S31, and the following is obtained:

[0193] (27),

[0194] in, and Seismic data The variance of the noise in and the variance of the isotropic part of the model parameters, represents the regularization coefficient of the isotropic part of the model parameters, The low-frequency component of the isotropic model parameters is represented. Finally, the iterative weighted least squares algorithm is used to solve the target functional to obtain the isotropic model parameters M, μ, and ρ.

[0195] Case study testing the inversion method:

[0196] An oil and gas reservoir in southwest China is taken as an example to verify the inversion method proposed in the present invention. The oil and gas reservoir is a tight shale reservoir with low porosity and low permeability, and the structural fracture system is an important channel for oil and gas seepage. In the target work area, it is assumed that the oil-bearing reservoir can be regarded as an orthogonal medium induced by horizontal biaxial stress. Before being used in the present invention, the seismic traces collected on-site are preprocessed according to the data standard of azimuthal seismic inversion, including denoising, amplitude compensation, rotation angle domain, etc., and azimuthal seismic data are generated. Then, azimuthal seismic inversion is carried out to estimate stress-induced anisotropy parameters and elastic parameters. The results are as follows. Figure 5-Figure 11 As shown. It can be found that in the oil-bearing target reservoir (the location circled by the black ellipse), the inverted P-wave modulus, shear modulus and density all show abnormally low values ​​( Figure 5-Figure 7 ). This indicates that fluids reduce the elastic modulus of rocks, which is consistent with the prediction of Gassmann's fluid substitution formula, and indirectly reflects the rationality of the inversion results of the isotropic model parameters. The inversion results of stress-induced anisotropic parameters are obviously higher ( Figure 8-Figure 11 ), indicating that there is obvious stress-induced anisotropy in the target formation. In addition, the correlation between the seven model parameters confirms the reliability of the inversion results.

Any equivalent substitution or change made by a person skilled in the art based on the present invention is within the protection scope of the present invention.
