Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of conventional and unconventional oil and gas resource seismic exploration, carbon sequestration rock physics and seismic wave propagation simulation, and realizes a numerical simulation method for seismic dispersion attenuation wave field of fluid viscoelastic rocks. Background Technology

[0002] Studying the propagation characteristics of seismic wave fields in viscoelastic reservoirs is fundamental for utilizing the property information in seismic waves to detect subsurface stratigraphic structures, characterize reservoir parameters, and detect oil and gas. Numerical simulation of seismic wave fields based on wave equations can be used to describe the propagation characteristics of seismic waves in viscoelastic media; however, this method often faces huge computational costs in complex rock physics models, limiting its application.

[0003] Numerical simulation methods for seismic waves based on convolutional models are fast and easy to implement, and have been widely applied in practical seismic exploration, such as well-seismic calibration of synthetic seismic records and seismic inversion. Currently, convolutional models have been extended to viscoelastic frameworks to partially describe the dispersion attenuation characteristics of seismic waves. The dispersion attenuation of seismic waves manifests as a decrease in seismic reflection amplitude with increasing propagation distance, and variations in the reflection coefficient and reflection time at the same reflection interface with different frequencies. However, existing convolutional model algorithms within viscoelastic frameworks often neglect the frequency variation of seismic reflection time at specific stratigraphic interfaces, failing to fully and completely describe the dispersion attenuation characteristics of seismic wave fields in viscoelastic media. The method in this patented invention aims to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

This method reflects the reflection time difference caused by the velocity dispersion of seismic waves and comprehensively describes the dispersion and attenuation characteristics of seismic waves propagating in viscoelastic rock formations. The method mainly includes the following steps:

[0005] By using well logging and core data, the rock physical parameters required for modeling fluid-filled fractured pore rocks are obtained, including: rock particle bulk modulus and density, dry rock bulk modulus and shear modulus, porosity, and the bulk modulus, density, viscosity, occurrence radius and saturation of pore fluids.

[0047] Figure 2 As shown in the figure, when the incident angle of the seismic wave is θ=0º, the reflection coefficients at different frequencies are as follows: at the same frequency, the reflection coefficient of the bottom interface of the gas-bearing sandstone layer (located between 350ms and 400ms) has a significant amplitude attenuation compared to the reflection coefficient of the top interface of the gas-bearing sandstone layer (located at 250ms); at the bottom interface of the gas-bearing sandstone layer, the time position of the reflection coefficients at different frequencies gradually decreases with the increase of frequency.

[0048] Figure 3 The following is a record of the seismic dispersion attenuation wave field at different incident angles (θ=0º, 15º, 30º) according to an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, the seismic waves at the bottom of the gas-bearing sandstone layer (located between 350ms and 400ms) have obvious amplitude attenuation and phase change. The attenuation degree and phase change characteristics are different at different incident angles. The amplitude attenuation is due to the attenuation of seismic waves of different frequencies, and the phase change is due to the velocity dispersion of different frequencies.
