[0032] Step S101: Determine the source direction of the offshore underwater fan.

[0033] Step S102: Determine the development position of the fan root of the distal underwater fan on the cross section of the fault according to the paleo-fall and provenance direction of the fault in the first stratum.

[0034] The first stratum is any stratum in which the fault is formed at different times.

[0035] Step S103: Determine the migration direction of the sand body according to the thickness of the first stratum of the downthrown plate of the fault.

[0038] In the disclosed embodiments, the development position of the fan root of the distal underwater fan on the cross section of the fault is determined based on the paleo-drop and provenance direction of the fault, and the distribution characteristics of the distal underwater fan are determined based on the development position of the fan root on the cross section of the fault, the migration direction of the sand body and the planar distribution characteristics of the sandstone thickness of the downthrown plate of the fault in the first formation. The fan root, fan middle and fan end subphases of the distal underwater fan can be more accurately identified, the distribution direction and range of the distal underwater fan can be determined, and the success rate of exploration of the distal underwater fan can be improved.

[0039] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another method for determining a far-shore underwater fan provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0040] Step S201: Obtain mineral distribution characteristics in the first formation from multiple wells near the fault.

[0041] Among them, the fault is a sedimentation-controlling fault, which is a long-term active fault with a large vertical fault distance and a large horizontal extension distance. A far-shore underwater fan may be formed in the sedimentation-controlling fault.

[0042] There are multiple strata near the fault, and different strata are formed at different times. The first stratum may be any one of the strata near the fault.

[0043] For example, the strata near the fault can be divided as follows:

[0044] There are many wells near the fault, which are divided into standard wells and non-standard wells. Standard wells are wells that have been divided into different strata by geological experts according to the stratum division standards, and non-standard wells are wells that are waiting for stratum division. Each well has corresponding logging curves and lithology data. The logging curves and lithology data of non-standard wells are compared with those of standard wells. Using their similarity or correlation, the non-standard wells are divided into strata corresponding to the strata of the standard wells.

[0045] After completing the stratigraphic division of multiple wells near the fault, a certain stratum formed in the same period is selected as the first stratum, and then the mineral distribution characteristics of multiple wells in the first stratum are obtained.

[0046] For example, the standard well can be pre-divided into the upper sand layer, the middle sand layer and the lower sand layer. The upper sand layer has a top depth of 2000m and a bottom depth of 2025m, the middle sand layer has a top depth of 2025m and a bottom depth of 2050m, and the lower sand layer has a top depth of 2050m and a bottom depth of 2080m. By using the similarity or correlation between the well logging curve and lithology data of the non-standard well and the well logging curve and lithology data of the standard well, the non-standard well can also be divided into the lower sand layer, the middle sand layer and the upper sand layer. For example, the lower sand layer can be selected as the first layer, and of course other layers can also be selected as the first layer, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0047] Mineral distribution characteristics are used to indicate the type and content distribution of target minerals.

[0048] The target minerals can be heavy minerals or light minerals. Heavy minerals refer to terrigenous detrital minerals with a specific gravity greater than 2.9, and light minerals refer to terrigenous detrital minerals with a specific gravity less than 2.9. Types of heavy minerals include zircon, tourmaline, rutile, garnet, magnetite, etc., and types of light minerals include quartz, feldspar, rock fragments, etc.

[0049] The content distribution of target minerals refers to the ranking of the contents of various target minerals. For example, if the target minerals are heavy minerals, and the contents of heavy minerals are zircon, garnet, and magnetite from high to low, this is considered to be one content distribution. If the contents of heavy minerals are garnet, zircon, and magnetite from high to low, this is considered to be another content distribution.

[0050] Each well has a plurality of sampling points arranged at intervals along the depth direction in the first formation. In step S201, when the types of target minerals obtained from the plurality of sampling points are the same and the content distribution of the target minerals is the same, the data obtained from one of the sampling points can be selected as the mineral distribution characteristics of the well in the first formation.

[0051] When the types of target minerals obtained from multiple sampling points are different or the content distribution of target minerals is different, it indicates that the well is controlled by multiple sources, and the data obtained from multiple representative sampling points can be selected as the mineral distribution characteristics of the well. Here, the representative sampling points can be determined in the following way: first classify multiple sampling points according to the type of target minerals and the content distribution of target minerals, and the same type of sampling points correspond to the same type of target minerals and the same content distribution of target minerals; select a sampling point from each type of sampling points as a representative sampling point, or select a sampling point from each type of sampling points that contains a number greater than the set value as a representative sampling point. The set value can be 1 or 2, etc., and can be set according to actual conditions.

[0052] Figure 3Schematic diagram of heavy mineral content provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, a certain well has four sampling points arranged at intervals along the well depth direction in the first stratum, namely the first sampling point, the second sampling point, the third sampling point and the fourth sampling point, and the types of heavy minerals at the four sampling points include zircon, tourmaline, rutile, garnet and magnetite. The content distribution of heavy minerals in the first sampling point and the second sampling point is zircon, tourmaline, rutile, garnet and magnetite from high to low, and the content distribution of heavy minerals in the third sampling point and the fourth sampling point is garnet, zircon, tourmaline, rutile and magnetite from high to low. Therefore, the data obtained from one of the first sampling point or the second sampling point can be selected as a target mineral type and content distribution of the well in the first stratum, and the data obtained from one of the third sampling point or the fourth sampling point can be selected as another target mineral type and content distribution of the well in the first stratum. For example, the data obtained from the first sampling point and the third sampling point can be selected as the mineral distribution characteristics of the well, that is, the mineral distribution characteristics include two target mineral types and content distribution of target minerals.

[0053] Step S202: wells whose mineral distribution characteristics include the same target mineral type and content distribution are determined as wells with the same provenance category.

[0054] When multiple wells have the same target mineral type and the same content distribution of the target mineral in the first formation, these wells can be identified as wells with the same provenance category.

[0055] If the mineral distribution characteristics of the same well include multiple target mineral types or the content distribution of multiple target minerals, it indicates that the well has multiple provenance categories. If the provenance category of the well also exists in other wells, these wells can be identified as wells with the same provenance category.

[0056] The following is an illustrative explanation using the types and content distribution of heavy minerals in the first formation from multiple wells as an example.

[0057] When the types of heavy minerals in the first well and the second well both include zircon, tourmaline, rutile, garnet and magnetite, and the content distribution of the heavy minerals is zircon, rutile, tourmaline, garnet and magnetite from high to low, the first well and the second well can be determined to have the same provenance category.

[0058] When the types of heavy minerals in the third well and the fourth well include zircon, tourmaline, rutile, garnet and magnetite, two different target mineral content distributions are obtained at different sampling points in the third well. The first is that the content distribution of heavy minerals is zircon, rutile, tourmaline, garnet and magnetite from high to low, and the second is that the content distribution of heavy minerals is garnet, zircon, tourmaline, rutile and magnetite from high to low. The content distribution of heavy minerals in the fourth well is garnet, zircon, tourmaline, rutile and magnetite from high to low. At this time, the first well, the second well and the third well can be determined as wells with the same provenance category, and the third well and the fourth well can also be determined as wells with the same provenance category.

[0059] Step S203: Determine the provenance direction of the offshore underwater fan based on wells with the same provenance category.

[0060] In step S203, adjacent wells with the same provenance category can be divided together by envelope lines on the oil field structural plan map. The oil field structural plan map is used to describe the underground structural characteristics of the oil field. Within the envelope line range on the plane, the provenance direction of the offshore underwater fan points from the rising plate of the fault to the descending plate of the fault.

[0061] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of a source direction and a selected seismic profile provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 The first envelope 10, the second envelope 11, the third envelope 12 and the fourth envelope 13 are included in the envelope. The circles in the envelope represent wells. The types of heavy minerals in the wells within the four envelopes are zircon, garnet and magnetite. Among them, in the wells within the first envelope 10 and the third envelope 12, the content of heavy minerals is distributed from high to low in the order of garnet, zircon and magnetite; in the wells within the second envelope 11 and the fourth envelope 13, the content of heavy minerals is distributed from high to low in the order of zircon, garnet and magnetite, that is, the wells within the first envelope 10 and the wells within the third envelope 12 have the same provenance category, and the wells within the second envelope 11 and the wells within the fourth envelope 13 have the same provenance category. Within the four envelopes, the provenance direction of the far-shore underwater fan points from the rising plate of the fault to the descending plate of the fault.

[0062] In some examples, the same well has multiple provenance categories, and the well can be divided into multiple envelopes. For example, a well has two provenance categories, and the types of heavy minerals in the well include zircon, garnet, and magnetite. The content distribution of two different target minerals is obtained from different sampling points of the well. The first is that the content distribution of heavy minerals is garnet, zircon, and magnetite from high to low, and the second is that the content distribution of heavy minerals is zircon, garnet, and magnetite from high to low. Then, according to the provenance categories of the well and its adjacent wells, the well can be divided into the first envelope 10 or the third envelope 12, and the well can also be divided into the second envelope 11 or the fourth envelope 13.

[0063] Through steps S201 to S203, the source direction of the far-shore underwater fan can be determined, thereby preliminarily identifying the distribution direction and distribution range of the far-shore underwater fan.

[0064] Step S204: Select multiple seismic sections perpendicular to the extension direction of the fault on the oilfield structural plane map, and obtain the thickness of the first stratum at the first point in the upper wall of the fault and the thickness of the first stratum at the second point in the lower wall of the fault in each seismic section.

[0065] The first point is a sampling point in the first stratum near the section in the upper wall of the fault layer in the seismic profile, and the second point is a sampling point in the first stratum near the section in the lower wall of the fault layer in the seismic profile. In the seismic profile, plumb lines are drawn along the first point and the second point, respectively. The plumb line at the first point intersects with the top and bottom interfaces of the first stratum in the upper wall, and the plumb line at the second point intersects with the top and bottom interfaces of the first stratum in the lower wall.

[0066] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a seismic profile provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, the rock block above the cross section 20 is the upper plate 21, and the rock block below the cross section 20 is the lower plate 22. Both the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 include multiple strata. In terms of the direction of relative displacement, the relatively rising part of the fault is the rising plate, and the relatively falling part is the falling plate. Figure 5 Where D1 is the thickness of the first stratum at the first point of the upper plate 21 of the fault layer in the seismic profile, which can also be called the thickness of the first stratum at the first point of the descending plate of the fault layer in the seismic profile; D2 is the thickness of the first stratum at the second point of the lower plate 22 of the fault layer in the seismic profile, which can also be called the thickness of the first stratum at the second point of the ascending plate of the fault layer in the seismic profile.

[0067] In step S204, multiple seismic sections with equal spacing, parallel to each other, and perpendicular to the extension direction of the fault can be selected on the oilfield structural plane map along the extension direction of the fault. Since the extension direction of the fault is not a straight line, it is also possible to select seismic sections that are approximately perpendicular to the extension direction of the fault, such as Figure 4 As shown, you can follow Figure 4 Select the seismic section in the direction of the arrow.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, the top and bottom seismic two-way reflection times of the first stratum of the upper plate 21 of the fault at the first point of the section and the top and bottom seismic two-way reflection times of the first stratum of the lower plate 22 of the fault at the second point of the section are obtained in each seismic section. The top depth and bottom depth of the first stratum at the first point and the second point can be expressed by the following formula (1):

[0069] H=0.0000000141019945*T 3 +0.000119762957*T 2 +0.904809721*T (1);

[0070] In formula (1), T represents the seismic two-way reflection time, unit: m; H represents the depth, unit: m. The seismic two-way reflection time T can be obtained from seismic data.

[0071] According to formula (1), the top depth and bottom depth of the first stratum of the upper plate 21 of the fault layer in the seismic profile at the first point, and the top depth and bottom depth of the first stratum of the lower plate 22 of the fault layer at the second point are obtained. Then, the thickness D1 of the first stratum of the upper plate 21 of the fault layer in the seismic profile at the first point and the thickness D2 of the first stratum of the lower plate 22 of the fault layer in the seismic profile at the second point are the differences between the corresponding top depth and bottom depth.

[0072] For example, multiple seismic profiles parallel to each other and perpendicular to the extension direction of the fault can be selected at intervals of 20 line numbers along the extension direction of the fault. The line number represents the distance between the seismic survey lines, that is, Figure 4 The parallel arrows are spaced 20 line numbers apart. Of course, they can also be spaced at a smaller or larger distance, and the present disclosure does not impose any limitation on this.

[0073] Step S205: Determine the paleothrust of the fault in the multiple seismic sections according to the difference between the thickness of the first stratum at the first point of the upper wall of the fault and the thickness of the first stratum at the second point of the lower wall of the fault in the multiple seismic sections.

[0074] Paleothrust refers to the difference in thickness between the corresponding strata on the upper and lower sides of a fault at a certain period. Paleothrust can reflect the degree of activity of the fault at different periods.

[0075] like Figure 5 In the seismic profile shown, the difference between the thickness D1 of the first stratum in the upper wall of the fault and the thickness D2 of the first stratum in the lower wall of the fault is the paleo-throw of the fault at the seismic profile.

[0076] Step S206: Determine the location of the ancient groove according to the ancient drop.

[0077] According to the ancient drop of the fault at multiple seismic profiles and the line number positions of multiple seismic profiles, a line graph of the ancient drop of the fault is established. According to the peak position in the line graph, between the peak and the trough, the position interval where the difference between the ancient drop near the peak and the peak is less than the target difference is determined as the location of the ancient groove. The fault activity at the line number position where the peak is located and the position near it is relatively strong, that is, the position where the cross section of the normal fault has a large relative rise and fall, indicating that ancient grooves are formed at these positions. Therefore, the line number position where the peak is located on the cross section and the position near it can be determined as the location of the ancient groove. Exemplarily, the target difference can be 8m, of course, it can also be other differences, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0078] Figure 6 This is a line diagram of the paleo-fall of a fault provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the horizontal axis represents the line number of the selected seismic profile, and the vertical axis represents the size of the paleo-drop. Figure 6 There are multiple wave crests in the trough. Between the wave crests and the troughs, the position interval where the difference between the ancient drop near the wave crest and the wave crest is less than 8m is determined as the location of the ancient groove, such as Figure 6 The locations of eight ancient trenches can be determined.

[0079] Step S207: Determine the development position of the fan root of the distal underwater fan on the cross section of the fault according to the location of the ancient groove and the provenance direction.

[0080] For example, the location of the ancient groove that overlaps with the provenance direction is determined as the development position of the fan root of the distal submarine fan on the cross section of the fault.

[0081] Since the formation of a distal underwater fan requires sufficient water depth, sufficient terrain slope angle, abundant material supply and a certain triggering mechanism, not every paleo-groove will serve as a fan root to control the formation of distal underwater fan sedimentation. Therefore, based on the location of the paleo-groove and the material source direction of the distal underwater fan, the location of the paleo-groove that overlaps with the material source direction can be determined as the development position of the fan root of the distal underwater fan on the cross section of the fault.

[0082] Through steps S204 to S207, the development position of the fan root of the distal underwater fan on the cross section of the fault can be effectively identified, thereby further identifying the distribution range of the distal underwater fan.

[0083] Step S208: Obtain the thickness of the first stratum of the downthrown plate of the fault.

[0084] In step S208, the time domain data of the top interface and the bottom interface of the first stratum of the descending plate of the fault can be obtained by using seismic software. The time domain data includes the seismic two-way reflection time. Since the seismic data is used to interpret the seismic profile at certain intervals of channel numbers and line numbers, it is also necessary to interpolate the obtained time domain data, that is, encrypt it. Then, according to formula (1), the depth domain data of the top interface and the bottom interface of the first stratum of the descending plate of the fault are obtained. Then, the thickness of the first stratum of the descending plate of the fault is the difference between the depth of the bottom interface and the depth of the top interface.

[0085] Step S209: Determine the migration direction of the sand body according to the thickness of the first stratum of the downthrown plate of the fault.

[0086] The migration direction of the sand body is from the direction with smaller thickness of the first stratum of the descending plate to the direction with larger thickness of the first stratum of the descending plate.

[0087] The greater the thickness of the first stratum in the downthrown plate, the lower the terrain of the paleo-geomorphology; the smaller the thickness of the first stratum in the downthrown plate, the higher the terrain of the paleo-geomorphology. The direction from high terrain to low terrain indicates that the paleo-structure is a depression. A depression is a good sedimentary space, which is conducive to the migration and deposition of sand bodies. Therefore, the migration direction of the sand body can be determined according to the thickness of the first stratum in the downthrown plate of the fault.

[0088] Figure 7 is a plan view of the thickness of a first stratum of a downthrown plate of a fault provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 As shown, different shades of color represent different thicknesses of the first stratum of the descending plate. Figure 7 The direction of the arrow in FIG. 1 is from the direction of smaller thickness of the first stratum in the descending plate to the direction of larger thickness of the first stratum in the descending plate, which indicates the migration direction of the sand body.

[0089] Through steps S208 to S209, the migration direction of the sand body can be effectively identified, thereby preliminarily identifying the fan middle and fan end subfacies of the distal underwater fan, and further determining the distribution direction and distribution range of the distal underwater fan.

[0090] Step S210: Obtain the sandstone thickness of the first formation of the downthrown plate of the fault at multiple wells.

[0091] In step S210, the sandstone thickness of the first stratum of the downthrown plate of the fault may be obtained according to the logging curve characteristics of the plurality of wells corresponding to the downthrown plate of the fault.

[0092] Step S211: determining the planar distribution characteristics of the sandstone thickness of the descent plate of the fault in the first stratum according to the sandstone thickness of the first stratum at the plurality of wells.

[0093] The plane distribution characteristics refer to the distribution of sandstone thickness of the first stratum of the downthrown plate of the fault at different positions on the plane.

[0094] Figure 8 is a plan view of the thickness of the sandstone of the first stratum of the downthrown plate of a fault provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, different shades of color are used to represent the different sandstone thicknesses of the first stratum of the downthrown plate. The sandstone thickness of the fan center 301 is larger, and the sandstone thickness of the fan end 302 is smaller. Therefore, according to the distribution characteristics of the sandstone thickness at different positions on the plane, the fan center 301 and fan end 302 subphases of the far-shore underwater fan can be clearly identified.

[0095] Through steps S210 to S211, the fan center and fan end subphases of the far-shore underwater fan can be clearly and accurately identified, and the distribution range of the far-shore underwater fan is further determined.

[0096] Step S212: Determine the distribution characteristics of the offshore underwater fan according to the development position of the fan root on the cross section of the fault, the migration direction of the sand body and the planar distribution characteristics of the sandstone thickness of the downthrown plate of the fault.

[0097] The distribution characteristics of the offshore underwater fan include the fan root, fan middle and fan end subfacies. First determine the development position of the fan root, that is, determine the triggering position of the offshore underwater fan. According to the migration direction of the sand body and the plane distribution characteristics of the sandstone thickness of the downthrown plate of the fault, the fan middle and fan end subfacies of the offshore underwater fan can be further effectively identified. Therefore, by combining the determined fan root, fan middle and fan end subfacies on the plane, the distribution direction and range of the offshore underwater fan can be clearly and accurately determined.
