Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas geophysics, specifically relating to a method and apparatus for identifying volcanic rock and volcanic conduits. Background Technology

[0002] Volcanic oil and gas reservoirs are a crucial area of ​​oil and gas exploration. Industrial oil and gas flows and large-scale reserves have been discovered in volcanic rocks across 40 basins in 13 countries worldwide. High-yield oil and gas reservoirs have also been discovered in volcanic rocks in several basins in China. For example, a major breakthrough was achieved this year in the Songliao Basin. Volcanic reservoirs are controlled by various factors, including the distribution of volcanic bodies and the lithology and facies of volcanic rocks, making accurate identification and characterization critical. Volcanic conduit facies often exhibit low-continuity, weak-amplitude seismic reflection characteristics. The usual method is to characterize the boundaries and extent of volcanic conduits based on variance properties. However, considering the strong amplitude influence of overlying volcanic overflow facies on seismic data in the target area, the generally low quality of seismic data and the limited accuracy of traditional variance models pose challenges to the precise identification of volcanic conduit boundaries.

[0003] Current methods for identifying and characterizing volcanic reservoirs primarily target acidic volcanic rocks with prominent paleo-uplift structures, which can be directly identified using seismic attributes such as dip angle, azimuth, and waveform classification. Compared to acidic volcanic rocks, intermediate-basic volcanic rocks are characterized by low magma viscosity, multiple eruption periods, and rapid vertical facies transitions. They typically occur in thin (interbedded) layers in wells, and the rock bodies often exhibit low-lying volcanic uplifts with indistinct volcanic structures, making direct identification of intermediate-basic volcanic structures significantly more challenging. Furthermore, most oil and gas basins in China are currently in the mid-stage of exploration, with exploration gradually shifting towards more detailed exploration. Existing methods for characterizing volcanic reservoirs are insufficient to meet the demands of current detailed exploration. Research in the Songliao Basin shows that the physical properties and hydrocarbon content of acidic volcanic reservoirs are controlled by volcanic facies, while the relationship between the formation and facies of intermediate-basic volcanic rocks remains unclear, hindering the progress of volcanic exploration in this region.

[0004] Based on this technical background, the present invention studies a method and device for identifying volcanic rock volcanic channels. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method and apparatus for identifying volcanic rock volcanic channels. This method integrates texture feature values ​​with tensor properties, which can fully characterize the development location of volcanic channels in the context of volcanic structures. Ultimately, it provides a complete and effective technical method and process for identifying volcanic rock volcanic channel facies.

[0026] Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail. While preferred embodiments of the invention are described below, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0027] This invention proposes a method for identifying volcanic rock and volcanic conduits, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0028] Texture feature attributes and tensor attributes are obtained from the original time-domain seismic data volume of volcanic rocks;

[0029] By fusing texture feature attributes with tensor attributes, the location of volcanic conduit development in volcanic rocks can be characterized.

[0030] The method in this invention fuses texture feature value attributes with tensor attributes, which can completely characterize the development location of volcanic channels in the context of volcanic structure, and ultimately provide a complete and effective technical method and process for the identification of volcanic channel facies in volcanic rocks.

[0031] According to the present invention, the texture feature attributes and tensor attributes obtained based on the original time-domain seismic data volume of volcanic rocks include:

[0032] Coherence properties were calculated based on the original time-domain seismic data volume;

[0033] Texture feature attributes are calculated based on coherence attributes;

[0034] The response feature type is obtained by comparing and fusing the original time-domain seismic data volume with texture feature attributes;

[0035] Tensor properties are calculated based on response feature types.

[0036] According to the present invention, the coherence properties calculated based on the original time-domain seismic data volume include:

[0037] The time-domain seismic data volume of volcanic rocks is sequentially filtered and coherence values ​​are calculated to obtain coherence attributes; based on the coherence attributes, texture feature attributes are calculated, including:

[0038] Texture feature values ​​are calculated based on coherence attributes to obtain texture feature attributes.

[0039] In this invention, the texture feature values ​​are mainly arranged and combined with the frequency, amplitude, and continuity aspects. Combined with the seismic response characteristics of the volcanic rock envelope or the seismic response characteristics of the volcanic conduit phase, the outline of the chaotic reflective volcanic body can be accurately depicted.

[0040] In this invention, coherence attributes are calculated based on the original time-domain seismic data volume, and texture feature attributes are calculated through the coherence attributes. Then, the original time-domain seismic data volume and texture feature attributes are compared and fused, which can accurately reflect the envelope characteristics and channel characteristics of volcanic rocks.

[0041] Preferably, the texture feature values ​​include at least one of frequency, amplitude, and continuity.

[0042] Preferably, the response characteristic types include seismic response characteristics of volcanic rock envelope surfaces and seismic response characteristics of volcanic conduit facies.

[0043] According to the present invention, the calculation of tensor properties based on response feature type further includes:

[0044] Based on tensor properties, high-frequency, chaotic, and strong reflections are identified to distinguish the volcanic conduit from surrounding anomalies.

[0045] According to the present invention, fusing texture feature attributes with tensor attributes to characterize the development location of volcanic conduits in volcanic rocks includes:

[0046] By fusing texture feature attributes with tensor attributes, combining the gradient attributes of the original time-domain seismic data volume, and the continuity or abrupt changes in the horizontal and vertical distribution of seismic strata, the development location of volcanic conduits in flood areas can be characterized.

[0047] In this invention, texture feature attributes and tensor attributes are fused together. Combined with the gradient attributes of the original time-domain seismic data volume, as well as the continuity or abrupt changes in the horizontal and vertical distribution of seismic strata, a clearer target boundary can be reflected.

[0048] The present invention will be described in more detail below through embodiments.

[0049] The embodiments of this invention take the Chagan Huahuoshiling Formation in the Songliao Basin as the research object. The Chagan Huahuoshiling Formation consists of multiple volcanic structures. From the distribution characteristics of the volcanic structures, it has the characteristics of central eruption. Multiple volcanic structures are superimposed and distributed in a continuous area around the crater, forming a complex volcanic structure group. The thickness of the volcanic rock strata varies rapidly laterally, and the reservoir is extremely heterogeneous. The volcanic rock facies are mainly explosive and effusive facies. Volcanic sedimentary facies and normal sedimentary facies are developed in the structural low. The internal structure of the volcano is complex, and the seismic response of the volcano is not much different from the surrounding area.

[0050] Example 1:

[0051] This embodiment takes the data of Yaoyingtai area of ​​Chagan Huahuoshiling as an example to carry out the work of characterizing the development location of volcanic rock volcanic channels based on the volcanic rock volcanic channel identification method.

[0052] The volcanic conduit identification method based on volcanic rock in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps: Figure 1 For the Yaoyingtai area, the original seismic profile was processed, filtered, and coherent. Based on this, texture features in different directions were calculated. The texture feature values ​​were then compared and fused with the original seismic profile. It can be seen that the identification effect of volcanic rock bodies with chaotic reflections due to seismic texture attributes is significantly improved. Seismic texture attributes can be used to characterize the outline of chaotically reflecting volcanic bodies. Then, gradient attributes, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the continuity or abrupt changes in the horizontal and vertical distribution of seismic strata are comprehensively applied to calculate attributes in order to reflect clearer target boundaries, such as the location of volcanic conduit development in flood areas.
