Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of seismic data processing methods, and in particular to a method for quickly constructing a total drop-distance curve of a complex fault zone. Background Art

[0002] At present, the construction of fault drop-distance curves is mainly completed in the following ways: (1) using existing structural maps or three-dimensional seismic data to interpret the distribution of faults; (2) manually calculating the fault drop on fixed-interval seismic profiles and the distance between the profile and the left end point of the fault, and connecting the distance and drop arrays into a curve to form a fault drop-distance curve.

[0003] When dealing with complex fault zones with a large number of faults, variable orientations, complex positional relationships, and a wide extension range, there are the following disadvantages:

[0004] (1) The existing technology manually generates the drop-distance curve of each fault by statistical analysis. All the obtained curves start from the rectangular coordinate origin (0,0), which makes it impossible to obtain the total drop of the same position point in the complex fault zone, and cannot reflect the lateral change of the total drop of the complex fault zone along the distance.

[0005] (2) For the case of large differences in fault lengths within a complex fault zone, using a fixed large spacing for drop statistics is suitable for longer extended faults, but it may lead to incomplete statistical information for shorter extended faults. However, using a fixed smaller spacing statistical method will greatly increase the workload; using a profile statistical method with different spacing for faults with different extension lengths and different distributions will result in inconsistent intervals of distance values, which is not conducive to the rapid calculation of the total drop.

[0006] (3) In complex fault zones, due to the inconsistency of fault strike, the statistical method of seismic profiles with fixed orientation and spacing cannot accurately reflect the actual drop of each fault. Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a method for quickly constructing a total drop-distance curve of a complex fault zone to solve the problems raised in the background technology.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the basic scheme of the present invention is as follows: a method for quickly constructing a total drop-distance curve of a complex fault zone, comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1: Use the depth domain 3D seismic data to make a seismic stratigraphic map, determine the plane range and fault structure line of the complex fault zone according to the seismic stratigraphic map, measure the direction of all fault structure lines in the complex fault zone, and calculate the arithmetic mean of the direction in θ iis the azimuth of the i-th fault, the arithmetic mean of the strike represents the value of the average strike line of the complex fault zone, the complex fault zone is rotated so that the average strike line of the complex fault zone becomes east-west, the horizontal coordinate X1 and the vertical coordinate Y1 that can represent the plane position of the fault structure line after rotation are recorded, and the fault structure line drop Z1 is generated according to the contour map around the rotated complex fault zone, so that the fault structure line contains three columns of data: the horizontal coordinate X1, the vertical coordinate Y1 and the drop Z1;

[0010] S2: along the rectangular coordinate system, the length range and width range of the rotated complex fault zone are measured respectively, and a number of equally spaced vertical lines covering the length and width of the complex fault zone are established according to the length range and width range of the complex fault zone, wherein the spacing between the vertical lines is equal to the spacing between seismic traces, and the vertical lines intersect with the fault structural line to produce a number of intersection points, and the abscissa X2 and the ordinate Y2 of each intersection point and the corresponding drop Z2 are calculated respectively;

[0011] S3: Group and sum the drop Z2 of the intersection points on the same vertical line to obtain the total drop C at each vertical line of the complex fault zone, then connect the horizontal coordinate X2 of each vertical line intersection point and the total drop C as coordinate points to form a total drop curve, perform maximum percentile filtering on the total drop curve, remove abnormal points in the curve, draw the total drop curve of the complex fault zone, and finally translate the total drop curve of the complex fault zone to the left as a whole to the origin of the rectangular coordinate system to construct the total drop-distance curve of the complex fault zone.

[0012] Furthermore, step S2-2 is also included between step S2 and step S3: projecting the intersection points for observation to ensure that the intersections of the vertical line and the fracture structural line have corresponding intersection points.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this scheme are as follows: (1) By uniformly rotating the average strike line of the complex fault zone, the relative position relationship of the internal faults in the complex fault zone is retained. The drop values ​​of the internal faults are extracted through the seismic stratigraphic structure map while the relative positions remain unchanged, thus obtaining a spatially reliable data source for constructing the total drop-distance curve of the complex fault zone.

[0014] (2) The drop obtained from the seismic stratigraphic map is completely retained on the fault structure line. By measuring the length and width of the complex fault zone, dense vertical lines with the spacing between seismic traces as the spacing value are established, and the drop values ​​of different fault lines on the vertical lines are collected. This unifies the sampling method of different fault drops within the complex fault zone, making a consistent method for constructing the total drop curve of the complex fault zone.

[0015] (3) This scheme extracts the fault drop on the structural map by rotating the average strike of the complex fault zone to the east-west direction. It does not rely on the statistics of the drop values ​​of the fixed-interval seismic profiles one by one. It converts the determination of the total drop of the complex fault zone into a geometric analysis and digital signal analysis problem between the dense vertical lines and the fault structural lines. This makes the construction process of the total drop of the complex fault zone more visual and concrete, with strong operability and speed, and can effectively construct the total drop-distance curve of the complex fault zone.
