[0022] To facilitate the understanding of the technical solution of the present invention, the technical feature terms that may appear in the embodiments of the present invention are first explained: like Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment provided by an embodiment of the invention. Figure 1 The implementation environment includes at least one terminal 102 and a server 101. The terminal 102 and the server 101 can be connected to a network wirelessly or wired to complete data transmission and exchange.

It can also be a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), as well as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0026] Based on the example Figure 1In the implementation environment shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for identifying natural gas hydrates and conventional free gas. The following is explained using the example of applying the method for identifying natural gas hydrates and conventional free gas in the server 101. It can be understood that the method for identifying natural gas hydrates and conventional free gas can also be applied to the terminal 102.
[0027] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 The flowchart of the method for identifying natural gas hydrates and conventional free gas applied to a server provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the execution subject of the method for identifying natural gas hydrates and conventional free gas can be any of the aforementioned computer devices (including servers or terminals). Figure 2 , the method comprises the following steps: S100, acquiring well logging data and measured seismic data in the target exploration area; It should be noted that in some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, step S100 may include the following steps: S101. deploy a logging system in the target exploration area, and obtain logging data of the target exploration area through the logging system; the logging data includes resistivity data, acoustic wave velocity data, radioactivity data, electromagnetic data, and nuclear magnetic resonance data; For example, in some specific embodiments, a logging system can be deployed on an offshore platform, which lowers logging instruments into an oil well via a cable and uses a variety of sensors to record the physical properties of the rock. These instruments can measure the resistivity, acoustic wave velocity, radioactivity, electromagnetic properties, and nuclear magnetic resonance properties of the rock, thereby obtaining detailed information about the rock and the rock-filled fluid.
[0028] S102, arranging a seismic source in the target exploration area, emitting seismic waves through the seismic source, and then using a geophone to record reflection and refraction information of the seismic waves in the target exploration area to obtain measured seismic data.
[0029] For example, in some specific implementations, 3D seismic data can be collected on site by arranging multiple geophones and seismic sources. These data help generate three-dimensional images of underground structures by recording the reflection and refraction information of seismic waves underground, which plays an important role in identifying geological structures, faults, and oil and gas reservoir boundaries.
[0030] Among them, during the logging process, the following key parameter data will be collected: resistivity data is used to determine the water content and mineral type of the rock formation; acoustic wave velocity data is used to infer the porosity, lithology and pressure of the formation; radioactivity data is used to determine the mud content of the formation; electromagnetic data is used to infer the porosity and fluid type of the rock; nuclear magnetic resonance data is used to obtain dynamic information of the fluid in the rock pores. These data are crucial to understanding the properties and distribution of underground rocks.
[0031] S200, based on the well logging data, a rock physics model is obtained by constructing a preset layered structure; The layered structure includes background clay layers and target sand layers; the rock physics model includes a hydrate wedge model and a conventional gas wedge model; the target sand layer of the hydrate wedge model presets natural gas hydrates with multiple parameter combinations, and the target sand layer of the conventional gas wedge model presets conventional free gas with multiple parameter combinations; It should be noted that the logging data includes resistivity data, acoustic wave velocity data, radioactivity data, electromagnetic data and nuclear magnetic resonance data; in some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S200 may include the following steps: S201, determining the properties and distribution information of underground rocks in the target exploration area based on logging data; wherein the properties and distribution information include: water content and mineral type determined based on resistivity data; porosity, lithology and pressure determined based on acoustic wave velocity data; mud content determined based on radioactive data; porosity and fluid type determined based on electromagnetic data; dynamic information of fluid in the voids determined based on nuclear magnetic resonance data; S202, according to the properties and distribution information and natural gas hydrates and conventional free gas with preset multiple parameter combinations, a rock physical model is constructed based on layered structure through a preset quantitative theoretical method.
[0032] For example, in some specific embodiments, a velocity-density-thickness model may be established using well logging data to determine the physical parameters of the background clay layer and the target sand layer.
[0033] Assuming that the target sand layer is full of water, the physical parameters of water are used as the basis. When establishing the velocity-density-thickness model and determining the physical parameters of the background clay layer and the target sand layer, the following theoretical and empirical formulas are mainly used: Biot theory: This is a theory that describes the propagation of elastic waves in saturated porous media. In the interpretation of well logging data, Biot theory is used to explain the propagation characteristics of sound waves in fluid-containing rocks, especially in the three-phase medium (rock skeleton, hydrate, pore fluid) when considering the presence of gas hydrates.

[0038] in, are the speeds of the fast and slow longitudinal waves, is the attenuation coefficient of fast and slow longitudinal waves, is the velocity of the transverse wave, is the attenuation coefficient of shear waves, is the angular frequency, and represent the real and imaginary parts of a complex number respectively.
[0039] Gassmann equation: This is an empirical formula used to describe the change in wave velocity in fluid-saturated rocks. It can be used to calculate the elastic parameters of rocks after fluid replacement, such as longitudinal wave velocity and shear wave velocity. The Gassmann equation is used to describe the change in elastic parameters of rocks after fluid replacement, and its basic form is:
[0040] in, is the bulk modulus of dry rock, is the bulk modulus of the fluid-containing rock, is the bulk modulus of the fluid, Porosity.
[0041] Equivalent medium theory: This theory is used to describe the macroscopic physical properties of multiphase media, such as resistivity and elastic wave velocity, and simplifies calculations by treating the multiphase medium as a single equivalent medium.
[0042] Through these theories and methods, the effects of natural gas hydrates and conventional free gas on rock physical properties under different saturation conditions can be quantitatively analyzed and predicted, thus providing a scientific basis for geological exploration and resource assessment.
[0043] Furthermore, the two models in the rock physics model can be constructed as follows: Model A: Assume that there are natural gas hydrates with different contents (thickness and saturation) in the target sand layer. Figure 5 , which is a schematic diagram of a construction example of model A ( Figure 5 The percentage content of hydrate is used as an example for explanation. It can be adjusted according to needs in actual application).
[0044] Model B: Assume that there is conventional free gas of different contents (distribution and content) in the target sand layer. Figure 6 , which is a schematic diagram of a construction example of model B ( Figure 6The percentage content of conventional gas is used as an example for explanation. In actual application, it can be adjusted according to needs).
[0045] When constructing Model A and Model B, the effects of different saturations of natural gas hydrate and conventional free gas on rock physical properties are considered mainly in the following ways: Model A (gas hydrate saturation model, also known as hydrate wedge model): In this model, the effects of hydrate morphology, distribution, and saturation on rock physical properties are considered. The presence of hydrates affects the elastic properties of rocks and fluid flow characteristics, and these effects are quantified using Biot theory and equivalent medium theory.
[0046] Model B (conventional free gas saturation model, i.e., conventional gas wedge model): In this model, the influence of the presence and saturation of conventional free gas on the physical properties of rocks is considered. Free gas affects the porosity, permeability, and elastic wave velocity of rocks, and these effects are described by the Gassmann equation and equivalent medium theory.
[0047] S300, generating synthetic seismic data based on a rock physics model; The synthetic seismic data include first synthetic seismic data corresponding to the hydrate wedge model and second synthetic seismic data corresponding to the conventional gas wedge model; It should be noted that in some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, step S300 may include the following steps: S301, based on the rock physics model, using three-dimensional geological modeling technology to generate preliminary synthetic seismic data; S302, according to the main frequency of the measured seismic data, using spectrum analysis and frequency band extension technology to match and adjust the frequency content of the preliminary synthetic seismic data to obtain synthetic seismic data.
[0048] For example, in some specific implementations, first, KL-3D GeoModeler three-dimensional geological modeling technology can be used to generate synthetic seismic data. This technology is centered on the construction of non-topologically consistent blocks, supports the fusion modeling of profile data, scattered point data, theoretical geometry and external level data, effectively improves the success rate of block construction and shortens the modeling cycle.
[0049] Furthermore, the frequency content of the synthetic seismic data can be adjusted according to the changes in sand thickness, hydrate saturation and conventional free gas volume in Model A and Model B to ensure that it matches the main frequency of the measured seismic data. Through the spectrum analysis and band extension technology of seismic data, the frequency response of the synthetic seismic data is ensured to match the measured data, thereby generating synthetic seismic data that conforms to the actual geological situation. This process involves a detailed analysis of the seismic data spectrum and the necessary band extension of the synthetic seismic data to achieve matching with the main frequency of the measured seismic data.
[0050] S400, performing frequency spectrum decomposition on the measured seismic data and the synthetic seismic data in sequence, and obtaining measured low-frequency data and synthetic low-frequency data accordingly; The synthetic low-frequency data includes first synthetic low-frequency data corresponding to the hydrate wedge model and second synthetic low-frequency data corresponding to the conventional gas wedge model; specifically, the spectrum decomposition is realized by discrete Fourier transform based on the preset main analysis frequency; For example, in some specific implementations, applying spectrum decomposition may be implemented as follows: 1) In this step, the measured seismic data set and the synthetic seismic data set are spectrally decomposed. For example, 15 Hz can be selected as the main analysis frequency. This selection is based on the spectrum parameters of the seismic data, where the main frequency is the frequency corresponding to the spectrum maximum, and 15 Hz can provide a good balance point to ensure appropriate anti-aliasing while avoiding information redundancy at the high frequency end.
[0051] 2) Extract low-frequency narrowband data using spectral decomposition technology. This technology is based on discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to convert seismic signals from the time domain to the frequency domain to generate high-resolution seismic images and identify the lateral distribution of medium properties.
[0052] S500, performing amplitude extraction of positive and negative phases on the measured low-frequency data to obtain a positive amplitude and a reverse amplitude; performing amplitude extraction on the first synthetic low-frequency data and the second synthetic low-frequency data in sequence to obtain a hydrate amplitude and a conventional gas amplitude accordingly; It should be noted that, in some embodiments, step S500 may include the following steps: extracting amplitude data from the measured low-frequency data using a phase scanning method, and then identifying the positive and negative phase characteristics of the amplitude in the amplitude data and their corresponding dominant positions to obtain positive amplitude and reverse amplitude.
[0053] For example, in some specific embodiments, the amplitude can be extracted from the measured low-frequency data to identify the positive and negative phase characteristics of the amplitude and their dominance. This process can be achieved by a phase scanning method, which determines the polarity of the seismic profile by comparing the correlation between the well impedance and the relative impedance of the well bypass inversion, as well as the phase of the seismic profile. In addition, the amplitude extraction of hydrate amplitude and conventional gas amplitude can be achieved by conventional amplitude extraction methods, which will not be described here.
[0054] S600: Compare and identify the forward amplitude with the hydrate amplitude, and the reverse amplitude with the conventional gas amplitude in sequence, to obtain identification results of natural gas hydrate and conventional free gas in the target exploration area.
[0055] It should be noted that the multiple parameter combinations include combinations of thickness and saturation in multiple numerical ranges for natural gas hydrates and combinations of distribution and content in multiple numerical ranges for conventional free gas; in some embodiments, step S600 may include the following steps: performing a first comparison and identification on the forward amplitude and the hydrate amplitude of the hydrate wedge model corresponding to the thickness and saturation in each numerical range to obtain a first identification result of the thickness and saturation of the natural gas hydrate; performing a second comparison and identification on the reverse amplitude and the conventional gas amplitude of the conventional gas wedge model corresponding to the distribution and content in each numerical range to obtain a second identification result of the distribution and content of the conventional free gas.
[0056] For example, in some specific implementations, the extracted amplitude is compared with the amplitude data corresponding to the synthetic seismic data. For areas where positive amplitude (i.e., positive amplitude) is dominant, the amplitude data corresponding to the synthetic seismic data of model A is compared; for areas where negative amplitude (i.e., negative amplitude) is dominant, the amplitude data corresponding to the synthetic seismic data of model B is compared. This comparison helps to verify the accuracy of the geological model and identify possible geological anomalies or features. Furthermore, based on the comparison results, the presence of natural gas hydrates and free gas and their data conditions are identified. Specifically, Figure 5 Taking the model A shown as an example, the amplitude data corresponding to the positive amplitude and the synthetic seismic data obtained with different hydrate contents in the model A are respectively judged for similarity, and then the identification result of the natural gas hydrate in the target exploration area is determined according to the hydrate content corresponding to the highest similarity.
[0057] It should also be noted that, in some embodiments, the method may also include the following steps: acquiring sampling data of the target exploration area; collecting the sampling data based on the wellbore coring technology; verifying the identification results based on the sampling data, and adjusting the parameters of the rock physics model according to the results of the verification processing.
[0058] For example, in some specific embodiments, assuming that the gap between the sampling data and the identification result is too large (for example, greater than a preset threshold), the distribution density of the data range of the various parameter combinations of the rock physics model settings can be adjusted accordingly according to the verified gap size (the larger the gap, the larger the distribution density setting).
[0059] In some specific application scenarios, verification and adjustment can be achieved as follows: 1) Verify exploration results. In the process of verifying exploration results, the sidewall coring technology is used to obtain core samples. In the coring operation, by using the sidewall coring device, it is possible to accurately determine whether the coring is successful and measure the length of the core. Spacers can be inserted between the cores to accurately distinguish the layers of the cores. This technology allows the key parameters of the instrument to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the formation, effectively improving the coring efficiency and success rate of coring. The sidewall coring device adopts a modular structure to facilitate the maintenance of the instrument.
[0060] 2) Adjust rock physics model and exploration parameters. Adjust rock physics model and exploration parameters based on core samples and verification results obtained from coring. This process involves a detailed analysis of core samples, including physical properties of the core such as porosity, permeability and elastic parameters of the rock. These parameters will be compared with seismic data to verify and adjust the rock physics model. The adjustment strategy includes re-evaluating the physical properties of the rock and their correlation with seismic data based on the core analysis results. In this way, it can be ensured that the adjusted model is more accurate and reliable, providing a scientific basis for the adjustment of exploration parameters. Such adjustments help optimize exploration strategies and improve the success rate and efficiency of exploration.
[0061] In order to explain the principle of the technical solution of the present invention in detail, the overall process of the present invention is described below in combination with some specific embodiments. It is easy to understand that the following is an explanation of the technical principle of the present invention and cannot be regarded as a limitation of the present invention.
[0062] First of all, it should be noted that the present invention can achieve the exploration of natural gas hydrates through the following steps: 1) Establish rock physics model: Well logging data (such as gamma ray, resistivity, acoustic velocity and density) are used to build velocity-density-thickness models of background clays and target sand bodies to accurately simulate geological structures.
[0063] 2) Generate synthetic seismic data: Two sets of synthetic seismic data are generated based on the geological model, one set represents pure gas hydrates and the other represents free gas under the gas hydrates. The synthetic seismic data are generated by simulating different geological conditions, such as changes in sand layer thickness, hydrate saturation, and free gas content.
[0064] 3) Apply spectral decomposition: Spectral decomposition of measured and synthetic seismic data is performed to extract low-frequency narrow-band data to highlight specific seismic features associated with gas hydrates and free gas.
[0065] 4) Amplitude extraction and comparison: Extract amplitudes from measured seismic data and compare them with synthetic seismic data. This includes identifying the positive and negative phase characteristics of the amplitude and their dominance to distinguish different types of geological structures.
[0066] like Figure 8 As shown, the method of the present invention may specifically include the following steps: Step 1: Data Collection: 1) Offshore platform logging system: The logging system is deployed on the offshore platform. The logging instrument is lowered into the oil well via a cable and uses a variety of sensors to record the physical properties of the rock. These instruments can measure the resistivity, acoustic velocity, radioactivity, electromagnetic properties and nuclear magnetic resonance properties of the rock, thereby obtaining detailed information about the rock and the fluid filling the rock.
[0067] 2) Collect logging data: During the logging process, the following key parameter data will be collected: resistivity data is used to determine the water content and mineral type of the rock formation; acoustic velocity data is used to infer the porosity, lithology and pressure of the formation; radioactivity data is used to determine the mud content of the formation; electromagnetic data is used to infer the porosity and fluid type of the rock; nuclear magnetic resonance data is used to obtain dynamic information of the fluid in the rock pores. These data are crucial to understanding the properties and distribution of underground rocks.
[0068] 3) Collect measured earthquake data sets: In the field, multiple geophones and seismic sources are deployed to collect 3D seismic data. These data help generate a three-dimensional image of the underground structure by recording the reflection and refraction information of seismic waves underground, which is important for identifying geological structures, faults, and boundaries of oil and gas reservoirs.
[0069] Among them, the technical requirements and operating specifications are as follows: During the data collection process, strict technical requirements and operating specifications will be followed, including the selection of appropriate instruments and equipment and regular calibration to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data collection. At the same time, the data of various indicators will be accurately collected, and attention will be paid to the consistency of time and space to ensure the continuity and integrity of the data. In addition, the geological structure, landform, soil quality and other conditions of the target area will be recorded and observed in detail, and information such as sample number, sampling depth, sampling layer and so on will be properly preserved. Data processing will include data collation, data analysis and data interpretation to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of exploration results. All personnel engaged in geological exploration must undergo safety awareness education and training, understand relevant safety regulations and systems, be familiar with operating procedures, and master necessary safety skills.
[0070] Step 2: Build a rock physics model 1) Use logging data to establish a velocity-density-thickness model to determine the physical parameters of the background clay layer and the target sand layer.
[0071] Assuming that the target sand layer is full of water, the physical parameters of water are used as the basis. When establishing the velocity-density-thickness model and determining the physical parameters of the background clay layer and the target sand layer, it is mainly based on the Biot theory, Gassmann equation and equivalent medium theory (the specific principle logic refers to the above-mentioned specific implementation method content, which will not be repeated here).
[0072] Through these theories and methods, the effects of natural gas hydrates and conventional free gas on rock physical properties under different saturation conditions can be quantitatively analyzed and predicted, thus providing a scientific basis for geological exploration and resource assessment.
[0073] 2) Build two models: Model A: It is assumed that there are gas hydrates of different thicknesses and saturations in the target sand layer.
[0074] Model B: It is assumed that there is conventional free gas with different distribution and content in the target sand layer.
[0075] When constructing Model A and Model B, the effects of different saturations of natural gas hydrate and conventional free gas on rock physical properties are considered mainly in the following ways: Model A (gas hydrate saturation model): In this model, the effects of hydrate morphology, distribution and saturation on rock physical properties are considered. The presence of hydrates affects the elastic properties of rocks and fluid flow characteristics, and these effects are quantified using Biot theory and equivalent medium theory.
[0076] Model B (conventional free gas saturation model): In this model, the effects of the presence and saturation of conventional free gas on rock physical properties are considered. Free gas affects the porosity, permeability, and elastic wave velocity of rocks, and these effects are described by the Gassmann equation and equivalent medium theory.
[0077] Step 3: Generate synthetic seismic data: Two sets of synthetic seismic data are generated based on Model A and Model B.
[0078] 1) In this step, KL-3D GeoModeler 3D geological modeling technology is used to generate synthetic seismic data. This technology is centered on the construction of non-topologically consistent blocks and supports the fusion modeling of profile data, scattered point data, theoretical geometry, and external layer data, effectively improving the success rate of block construction and shortening the modeling cycle.
[0079] 2) According to the changes in sand thickness, hydrate saturation and conventional free gas volume in Model A and Model B, the frequency content of the synthetic seismic data is adjusted to ensure that it matches the main frequency of the measured seismic data. Through the spectrum analysis and band extension technology of seismic data, the frequency response of the synthetic seismic data is ensured to match the measured data, thereby generating synthetic seismic data that conforms to the actual geological situation. This process involves a detailed analysis of the seismic data spectrum and the necessary band extension of the synthetic seismic data to achieve matching with the main frequency of the measured seismic data.
[0080] Step 4: Apply spectral decomposition: 1) In this step, the measured seismic data set and the synthetic seismic data set are spectrally decomposed. 15 Hz is selected as the main analysis frequency. This selection is based on the spectral parameters of the seismic data, where the main frequency is the frequency corresponding to the spectral maximum, and 15 Hz can provide a good balance point to ensure appropriate anti-aliasing while avoiding information redundancy at the high frequency end.
[0081] 2) Extract low-frequency narrowband data using spectral decomposition technology. This technology is based on discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to convert seismic signals from the time domain to the frequency domain to generate high-resolution seismic images and identify the lateral distribution of medium properties.
[0082] Step 5: Amplitude extraction and comparison: 1) Extract the amplitude from the measured low-frequency data and identify the positive and negative phase characteristics of the amplitude and their dominance. This process can be achieved through the phase scanning method, which determines the polarity of the seismic section by comparing the correlation between the well impedance and the relative impedance inverted by the well bypass channel and the phase of the seismic section.
[0083] 2) Compare the extracted amplitudes with the low-frequency data corresponding to the synthetic seismic data. For areas where positive amplitudes are dominant, compare with the synthetic seismic data of model A; for areas where negative amplitudes are dominant, compare with the synthetic seismic data of model B. This comparison helps to verify the accuracy of the geological model and identify possible geological anomalies or features.
[0084] Step 6: Identify and explain: 1) Based on the comparison results, identify the presence of natural gas hydrate and free gas.
[0085] 2) Determine the saturation and thickness of gas hydrates.
[0086] 3) Determine the distribution and content of conventional free gas.
[0087] Step 7: Verify and adjust: 1) Verify exploration results. In the process of verifying exploration results, the sidewall coring technology is used to obtain core samples. In the coring operation, by using the sidewall coring device, it is possible to accurately determine whether the coring is successful and measure the length of the core. Spacers can be inserted between the cores to accurately distinguish the layers of the cores. This technology allows the key parameters of the instrument to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the formation, effectively improving the coring efficiency and success rate of coring. The sidewall coring device adopts a modular structure to facilitate the maintenance of the instrument.
[0088] 2) Adjust rock physics model and exploration parameters. Adjust rock physics model and exploration parameters based on core samples and verification results obtained from coring. This process involves a detailed analysis of core samples, including physical properties of the core such as porosity, permeability and elastic parameters of the rock. These parameters will be compared with seismic data to verify and adjust the rock physics model. The adjustment strategy includes re-evaluating the physical properties of the rock and their correlation with seismic data based on the core analysis results. In this way, it can be ensured that the adjusted model is more accurate and reliable, providing a scientific basis for the adjustment of exploration parameters. Such adjustments help optimize exploration strategies and improve the success rate and efficiency of exploration.
[0089] In summary, the present invention proposes the use of rock physics models to simulate and predict the seismic response of gas hydrates. This method can help to more accurately identify and quantify the distribution of gas hydrates. By establishing a geological model and a physical parameter model, synthetic seismic data can be generated, which are used to simulate the response of gas hydrates that may appear in actual seismic data. The invention mentions the use of spectral decomposition technology to analyze seismic data, which helps to identify specific frequency features associated with gas hydrates. By comparing measured seismic data with synthetic seismic data, the presence and characteristics of gas hydrates and related free gas can be identified. The goal of this technology is to improve the success rate and efficiency of gas hydrate exploration through more accurate identification and quantification methods. In general, the background of this technology is to develop new exploration and characterization methods to address the challenges in gas hydrate exploration in the context of global energy demand, so as to achieve effective utilization of this potential energy resource.

[0092] 3) Reduction of environmental impact: Through more precise exploration methods, disturbance and damage to the environment are reduced.
[0093] 4) Improve exploration efficiency: The efficiency of the exploration process is improved by using computer simulation and automated analysis.
[0094] 5) Support sustainable development: Help discover new energy resources and support sustainable development of energy.
[0095] 6) Flexibility of technology application: The method of the present invention can adapt to different geological conditions and exploration environments and has high flexibility.
