Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of oil and gas exploration and development, and particularly relates to a deep migration phase-controlled velocity inversion modeling method under complex sedimentary environment. BACKGROUND

[0002] The prestack depth migration is one of main seismic imaging methods at present, and the depth domain layer velocity model required by migration is a key factor influencing imaging effect. The existing depth domain velocity model is constructed by using the tomographic velocity inversion method, data driving, and the best depth domain layer velocity model is obtained after multiple iterations. The tomographic velocity inversion method has high efficiency in constructing the depth domain layer velocity model, but still has the following problems in practical application: 1) the existing technical scheme is only applicable to seismic data with high signal-to-noise ratio, and when the signal-to-noise ratio of seismic data is low, the existing technology will analyze the noise signal as effective signal to a certain extent, and the velocity model constructed is more conducive to the imaging of noise signal. 2) when the sedimentary and diagenetic environment of the research area is complex and changeable, some geological bodies have strong reflection interfaces, and the inside often has chaotic or blank reflection, the existing technical scheme cannot pick up the effective reflection signal inside the geological body, which affects the accuracy of velocity modeling and further affects the quality of seismic imaging. SUMMARY

[0003] The application is proposed to solve the uncontrollable problem of data-driven velocity inversion for low signal-to-noise ratio data and the inaccurate problem of velocity modeling under complex sedimentary environment, and the purpose is to provide a deep migration phase-controlled velocity inversion modeling method under complex sedimentary environment.

[0004] The application is implemented by the following technical scheme:

[0005] A deep migration phase-controlled velocity inversion modeling method under complex sedimentary environment, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1, acquiring a time domain processed seismic data body and a prestack time migration velocity data body, and constructing an initial depth domain layer velocity model;

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG, a method for depth migration phase-controlled velocity inversion modeling in a complex sedimentary environment includes the following steps:

[0032] S1. Obtain the time domain processed seismic data volume and the pre-stack time migration velocity data volume, convert the pre-stack time migration velocity into layer velocity using the DIX formula, and generate the initial depth domain layer velocity model through interpolation, smoothing and time-depth conversion. The obtained initial depth domain layer velocity model is as follows: Figure 2 As shown;

[0033] S2. Use the time-domain processed seismic data volume and the initial depth-domain layer velocity model to perform pre-stack depth grid point migration to obtain CIP (Common Imaging Point) gathers and their stacking data. The grid point migration bin size is consistent with the initial depth-domain layer velocity model. The obtained CIP gathers are optimized by denoising and amplitude compensation.

[0034] S3. Use conventional tomographic velocity inversion technology to carry out high-precision grid tomographic velocity inversion to obtain the residual velocity field and update the depth domain layer velocity model;

[0035] The input data used for conventional tomographic velocity inversion is the CIP gathers obtained in step S2 and their stacked data. The optimized CIP gather data are used for residual velocity spectrum calculation, and the stacked CIP gather data are used for structural dip parameter analysis.

[0036] S4, repeating steps S2 and S3 multiple times to iteratively update the velocity model until the events of the obtained CIP gathers are basically flattened, and a set of stable velocity models is obtained as the velocity model of the intermediate depth domain layer;

[0037] The stability of the velocity model is mainly determined by the flattening degree of the CIP gather event axis after migration. In general, the conventional tomographic inversion method driven by data is used. After three or four rounds of iteration, the gather event axis is basically flattened and the overall spatial structure of the velocity model is basically stable. The velocity model of the intermediate depth domain layer is obtained as follows: Figure 3 ;

[0038] S5. Using the intermediate depth domain layer velocity model obtained in S4, prestack depth migration is performed to generate common offset data. Common imaging point (CIP) data is formed through extraction and stacking. Post-stack denoising, frequency boosting, and energy compensation are then performed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the depth migration imaging data, resulting in intermediate prestack depth migration imaging data.

[0039] S6. Conduct geological analysis based on the intermediate data obtained in step S5;

[0040] Based on the amplitude, phase, and frequency characteristics of the seismic profile, we identify the seismic facies in the basin, systematically determine the possible sedimentary facies types, determine the distribution range, trace the interpretation boundaries, and generate sedimentary facies boundary constraint files.

[0041] The method is mainly aimed at the geological body with chaotic internal structure or blank of seismic reflection, and the main sedimentary types correspond to the fan delta facies, the braided river delta facies, the alluvial fan facies and the gravity flow sedimentary facies.

[0042] The top and bottom envelope shape diagram of the fan body tracked by the geological analysis of the embodiment is shown in Figure 4 , three turbidite fans are spatially superimposed and successively developed, and the sedimentary facies boundary constraint file formed is shown in Figure 5 .

[0043] S7, on the basis of the intermediate depth domain interval velocity model obtained in step S4, steps S2 and S3 are repeated, the sedimentary facies boundary constraint file is added in the high-precision grid tomographic velocity inversion process, the inversion process and result are implemented to be controlled by the sedimentary facies, and after multiple iterations, a final pre-stack depth migration interval velocity model is obtained. Figure 6 .

[0044] The sedimentary facies control includes a tomographic inversion method with a phase control file constraint and a sedimentary facies constraint correction method for the inversion result.

[0045] Three or four rounds of iterations are needed, and the interpolation velocity value is adjusted round by round to improve the precision of the velocity model. When the external geometry and internal reflection structure imaging of the target geological body change significantly, steps S5 and S6 need to be repeated, the sedimentary facies is reanalyzed, and the boundary constraint file is improved.

[0046] The result profile of the conventional tomographic inversion depth domain interval velocity model migration imaging is shown on the left side of Figure 7 , and the result profile of the phase-controlled tomographic inversion depth domain interval velocity model migration imaging of the embodiment is shown on the right side of Figure 7 . Compared with the conventional method, the fan body boundary and the internal imaging obtained by the method of the embodiment are clearer, and the boundary fracture imaging effect is obviously improved.

[0047] The applicant declares that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that any changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present application can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art, and all fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present application.
