Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploration, and relates to a paleo-geomorphology restoration method, in particular to a fine three-dimensional micro paleo-geomorphology restoration method and device. Background Art

[0002] Paleomorphology is an important reference for reservoir sedimentary evolution, especially for carbonate rocks. High-energy shoals are obviously controlled by paleomorphology. Paleomorphology restoration is to study the concave and convex state represented by a certain interface contour line in a certain period. At present, paleomorphology restoration technology can be basically divided into two categories: residual thickness method and impression method.

[0003] The residual thickness method is the most direct method for restoring ancient landforms by measuring the thickness characteristics of the strata remaining in the long geological history. The premise for the implementation of the residual thickness method is that the strata are relatively uniform in thickness and have not experienced drastic uplift and erosion after deposition. Finding the basement isochronous surface is the key to restoring ancient landforms by the residual thickness method.

[0004] The impression method is a reverse measurement method. Since the weathering crust is an uneven surface, with the continuous deposition of the overlying strata, the undulating surface is gradually "filled up". By measuring the thickness from the top of the weathering crust to the overlying marker layer, the thickness of the residual weathering crust can be inferred in reverse. The premise for the implementation of the impression method is that there is a filled-in surface and it has not experienced severe uplift and erosion. Finding the top marker layer is the key to restoring ancient landforms by the impression method.

[0005] Whether it is the residual thickness method or the impression method, the more sophisticated paleo-geomorphology restoration device is usually based on pre-stack time migration 3D seismic data. After picking the top and bottom interface events of a stratum based on pre-stack time migration 3D seismic data, the top and bottom interfaces are subtracted, and then through time-depth conversion, the result is the paleo-geomorphology map of the stratum.

[0006] However, on the one hand, for areas where reverse faults are developed, strata often repeat, and based on three-dimensional seismic data, the tracking of the phase axis can only correspond to one depth value at the same coordinate point, which causes repeated calculation of the stratum thickness of the upper and lower plates of the reverse fault, and ultimately leads to the failure to truly reflect the paleogeomorphological characteristics of the strata, especially when the stratum thickness to be restored is less than the fault throw, the error is more prominent.

[0007] On the other hand, the existing paleogeomorphic restoration methods do not take into account the inclination of the current structure of the stratum. When the stratum inclination is large, the subtraction of the top and bottom phase axes results in the vertical thickness of the current lithological interface, rather than the normal thickness of the stratum required for paleogeomorphic restoration.

[0008] There is currently no effective solution to the above two problems. Summary of the invention

[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and device for fine three-dimensional micro-paleotopography restoration to solve the problem of inaccurate paleotopography restoration due to the existence of stratum repetition or stratum dip.

[0024] S15. Using formula Calculate the plumb bob thickness h of the target layer, where T1 and T2 are the event axes of the top and bottom of the target layer respectively; v is the formation velocity of the target layer.
