[0035] S110, obtaining seismic layer data of the target reservoir in the depth domain.

[0036] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the time domain horizon of a target reservoir provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the target reservoir refers to a target horizon, i.e., a horizon of interest, which includes a fault.

[0037] The seismic horizon data of the target reservoir in the depth domain can be determined based on the seismic horizon data of the target reservoir in the time domain. In one embodiment, the seismic horizon data of the target reservoir in the time domain is obtained; based on the seismic horizon data of the target reservoir in the time domain and the longitudinal wave velocity of the target reservoir, the seismic horizon data of the target reservoir in the depth domain is determined. It can be understood that the seismic horizon data of the target reservoir in the depth domain is three-dimensional data, and each coordinate point (common center point) includes a row number, a channel number, and a horizon depth data. Therefore, the seismic horizon data of the target reservoir in the depth domain is mapped to a three-dimensional coordinate system to obtain a three-dimensional model of the target reservoir.

[0038] Specifically, the depth domain horizon of the target reservoir is determined by the following formula:

[0039]

[0040] Among them, time is the time horizon, and the one-way propagation time of seismic waves is v is the P-wave velocity of the target reservoir. According to the above formula, the depth domain layer z of the target reservoir can be determined.

[0041] S120, determining the formation gradient corresponding to each common center point in the seismic layer data.

[0042] Among them, the common center point is also called Common Middle Point, abbreviated as CMP, which can be understood as a grid point in a plane coordinate system.

[0043] In one embodiment, the formation gradient corresponding to each common center point in the seismic horizon data is determined by the following steps, including:

[0044] Step a1, determining the local surface expression corresponding to each common center point in the seismic layer data.

[0045] In one embodiment, a two-variable binomial equation is used to construct the local surface expression corresponding to each common center point. For example, Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , the seismic layer data includes common center point A, common center point B and common center point C. Taking common center point B as the current common center point as an example, determine the face element where the current common center point is located (see Figure 4 ), the face element includes 5×5 common center points including the current common center point, and the current common center point is in the middle of the 5×5 common center points. The data of the 25 common center points are input into the binary binomial equation, and the specific values ​​of the polynomial coefficients a, b, c, d, e, and f in the equation can be obtained, thereby obtaining the local surface expression corresponding to the current common center point, that is, the local surface corresponding to the current common center point. Figure 5 The local surface corresponding to the common center point B is shown.

[0046] The two-variable binomial equation is as follows:

[0047] z(x,y)=ax 2 +by 2 +cxy+dx+ey+f

[0048] Step a2: determine the formation gradient corresponding to each of the common center points according to the local surface expression corresponding to each of the common center points.

[0049] Determine the gradient vector of each local surface expression at the corresponding common center point, and the formation gradient corresponding to the gradient vector, wherein the direction of the gradient vector is the formation dip, and the formation dip is perpendicular to the strike of the fault; and use the formation gradient corresponding to the gradient vector as the formation gradient corresponding to the corresponding common center point.

[0050] Specifically, after the local surface expressions corresponding to each common center point are determined, the gradient vector of the corresponding local surface at the common center point can be obtained based on the local surface expressions corresponding to each common center point, as follows:

[0051]

[0052] in, are the first-order partial derivatives of the local surface with respect to x and y, respectively, which can be expressed as:

[0053]

[0054]

[0055] The modulus of the gradient vector is defined as the formation gradient grad, which can be expressed as:

[0056]

[0057] The direction of the gradient vector is defined as the formation dip φ dip , which can be expressed as:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, atan2 is the four-quadrant inverse tangent function.

[0060] The strata dip is perpendicular to the fault strike. Figure 5 The relationship between the stratigraphic dip, fault strike and stratigraphic gradient corresponding to the common center point B is shown.

[0061] S130. Determine fault distribution data in the target reservoir according to the formation gradients corresponding to the common center points.

[0062] After the formation gradients corresponding to the common center points are determined, the fault distribution data in the target reservoir are determined according to the formation gradients corresponding to the common center points.

[0063] The technical solution of the method for predicting faults using formation gradients provided in the embodiment of the present invention obtains seismic horizon data of the target reservoir in the depth domain; determines the formation gradients corresponding to each common center point in the seismic horizon data; and determines the fault distribution data in the target reservoir according to the formation gradients corresponding to each common center point. The technical effect of determining the fault distribution data in the target reservoir according to the formation gradients corresponding to each common center point in the seismic horizon data is achieved, which is simple and accurate.

[0064] Figure 6 Another flow chart of the method for predicting faults using formation gradients provided in an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment refines the steps of determining fault distribution data in the target reservoir based on the formation gradients corresponding to each common center point on the basis of the above embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, the method includes:

[0065] S210: Acquire seismic layer data of the target reservoir in the depth domain.

[0066] S220, determining the formation gradient corresponding to each common center point in the seismic layer data.

[0067] S2301. Determine a stratigraphic gradient image according to the stratigraphic gradients corresponding to the common center points, wherein each coordinate data in the stratigraphic gradient image includes track number data, line number data, layer depth data, and gradient values ​​corresponding to the track number data and the line number data.

[0068] After the stratigraphic gradients corresponding to the common center points are determined, the stratigraphic gradients corresponding to the common center points are added to the coordinate data of the common center points to update the seismic layer data, so that the coordinate data of the common center points in the updated seismic layer data include channel number data, line number data, layer depth data and stratigraphic gradients; then the stratigraphic gradient image corresponding to the target reservoir is determined based on the updated seismic layer data.

[0069] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of a formation gradient image provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 The stratigraphic gradient image in is a stratigraphic gradient distribution image corresponding to the target reservoir. Figure 7 The stratigraphic gradient image in is the stratigraphic gradient distribution result formed by projecting the stratigraphic gradient distribution data onto the specified plane.

[0070] S2302. Determine an abnormally high gradient value area in the formation gradient image, where the abnormally high gradient value is a local maximum value where the gradient value is greater than a set threshold.

[0071] Since the formation gradient is larger at the fault, smaller at the non-fault, and reaches a maximum value at the center of the fault, the formation gradient gradually decreases from the center of the fault to the edge of the fault, and the set threshold can be configured as the formation gradient at the edge of the fault. Figure 7 The black areas in the figure are areas with abnormally high gradient values.

[0072] S2303. Determine fault distribution data based on the abnormally high gradient area.

[0073] In one embodiment, each connected domain of maximum points in the region with abnormally high gradient values ​​is used as a fault center line segment; and the fault distribution data is determined based on the fault center line segment. This embodiment uses each connected domain of maximum points in the region with abnormally high gradient values ​​as a fault center line segment, and can quickly and accurately complete the determination of the fault center line segment. It can be understood that the region with abnormally high gradient values ​​may include one connected domain of maximum points, or may include at least two connected domains of maximum points, so one or more groups of fault center line segments can be determined based on the region with abnormally high gradient values. Since the fault center line segment corresponds to the fault distribution, this embodiment uses the one or more groups of fault center line segments as one or more groups of fault distribution data.

[0074] It is understandable that after a stratum fracture occurs, the fault has upper and lower boundaries and a central part. In this embodiment, the center of the fracture is taken as the central part of the fault, specifically the center line of the fault, that is, the above-mentioned center line segment of the fault.

[0075] Figure 8 The embodiment of the present invention provides Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the connected domain of extreme points corresponding to the stratigraphic gradient image in FIG. Figure 8The black line in the middle is the connected domain of the extreme points, which is also the center line segment of the fault corresponding to the fault.

[0076] Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of the distribution of the center line segments of the faults provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The black lines in the figure are the center line segments of the faults. In the figure, the black lines with wider line widths intersecting with the narrower black lines have higher fault levels, and the higher the fault level, the greater the extension length and fault distance corresponding to the fault. Since the faults are distributed in the vicinity of the center line segments of the faults, the distribution positions of the faults can be determined by the distribution of the center line segments of the faults shown in the figure, which is simple and intuitive.

[0077] The embodiment of the present invention determines a formation gradient image based on the formation gradients corresponding to each common center point, determines an area with abnormally high gradient values ​​in the formation gradient image, and determines fault distribution data based on the area with abnormally high gradient values, thereby achieving the technical effect of determining the fault distribution data in the target reservoir based on the formation gradients corresponding to each common center point, and simplifies the process of determining the fault distribution data while ensuring the accuracy of fault determination based on the formation gradient.
