Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of seismic signal processing, and in particular relates to a normalized W-transform gas reservoir identification method. Background Art
[0002] Spectral decomposition is an important technology for seismic data processing and interpretation. It maps one-dimensional seismic records to two-dimensional time-frequency domains, including short-time Fourier transform, wavelet transform, S transform, generalized S transform, etc., which effectively reveals geological anomalies hidden in non-stationary seismic data and is widely used in sedimentary cycle division, reservoir characterization, hydrocarbon detection, etc. In 2021, Wang proposed a time-frequency analysis method called W transform, which uses the time-varying main frequency to modify the standard deviation trend that varies with frequency in the S transform, thereby improving the energy focusing of the low-frequency band. In this way, the spectral energy of the W transform can be well focused near the main frequency of the waveform, rather than moving to higher frequencies like the S transform. However, for broadband seismic signals, due to the non-differentiable frequency of its standard deviation, the W transform has singularity near the main frequency, which is mainly manifested as energy splitting and the peak frequency shifts to both sides. An effective strategy is to parameterize the standard deviation so that it has frequency differentiability at the main frequency position, such as generalized W transform, three-parameter W transform, two-parameter W transform, etc.
[0003] Although these parameterized W transforms effectively avoid the energy splitting of the W transform at the main frequency, there is a large difference between the spectrum at the wavelet center moment and the Fourier transform spectrum, and this difference is largely related to the preset standard deviation function. Here, these parameterized W transforms are collectively referred to as W transforms, because their W transforms provide a less accurate spectrum distribution for non-stationary seismic signals, which directly affects the delineation of gas-bearing reservoirs and their hydrocarbon detection, thereby increasing the difficulty of predicting gas-bearing reservoirs. Therefore, it is urgent to design a method that can effectively correct the W transform spectrum, provide a more appropriate and accurate seismic spectrum decomposition result for non-stationary seismic signals, and thus perform fine gas-bearing reservoir identification. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a gas-bearing reservoir identification method using a normalized W transform. The present invention creates a normalized W transform by multiplying the W transform by a standard deviation function normalized along the time-varying main frequency, thereby avoiding the W transform from providing a less accurate time-varying spectrum representation for a non-stationary seismic signal. In addition, the abnormal amplitude can be obtained by using the time-frequency spectrum of the normalized W to more precisely identify and delineate the gas-bearing reservoir.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions to achieve it:

Compared with the instantaneous frequency solved by Hilbert transform, the calculated time-varying main frequency can effectively eliminate the strong oscillation of the instantaneous frequency and has stronger stability.
[0024] Preferably, the specific calculation process of step S2 includes the following steps:

[0036] S22: Calculate W transformation result
[0037] According to the preset standard deviation function, the W transform of the analyzed seismic signal for:
[0038]
[0039] in, represents the imaginary unit. The calculated W transform improves the energy focusing of the seismic signal in the low frequency band by setting a specific standard deviation function;
[0040] As a preference, the normalization W transformation in step S3 is represented as:
[0041]
[0042] Under the action of the normalized standard deviation function, the normalized W transform effectively avoids the energy splitting artifact of the W transform at the time-varying main frequency position and better focuses the spectral energy of the W transform near the time-varying main frequency.
[0043] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0044] The present invention multiplies the W transform by a standard deviation function normalized along the time-varying main frequency, which is called a normalized W transform. This effectively avoids the energy splitting artifacts at the main frequency position of the W transform and the problem of the peak frequency shifting to both ends. Compared with the W transform and the parameterized W transform, the normalized W transform proposed in the present invention, under the action of the normalized standard deviation function, not only provides a more accurate spectrum representation with time positioning for non-stationary seismic signals, but also can more effectively focus the spectrum energy near the time-varying main frequency and has a higher time-frequency resolution. The present invention uses the proposed normalized W transform to obtain the time-frequency spectrum of the seismic signal, calculates the peak amplitude and average amplitude corresponding to each moment, and then subtracts the two to obtain the abnormal amplitude, which can more accurately identify and delineate gas-bearing reservoirs.

The vertical axis represents the time depth, which is in seconds (s). The color scale represents the amplitude, which is dimensionless. The curve at the 1 second position represents a horizontal formation line. The intersection of the horizontal formation line with well A and well B indicates the location of the reservoir, which is located in the ellipse.
