[0002] The practice of oil and gas exploration in the world shows that after oil and gas accumulate to form oil and gas reservoirs, they will be affected by the reactivation of faults.

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] In an exemplary embodiment, Picture 1 As shown, a method for quantitatively determining the destructive effect of a fracture on the sealing property of a cap rock is provided, comprising the following steps 101 to 106. Among them:

[0030] Step 101, obtaining petroleum seismic exploration data of the area to be predicted; the petroleum seismic exploration data includes post-stack three-dimensional seismic processing results data, lithology inversion data body, fault layer interpretation data, target cap rock layer layer interpretation data, oil and gas well logging interpretation data, oil and gas test results data, and geological age data of the formation.

[0031] Step 102, determining a set of destructive fault location information based on the petroleum seismic exploration data of the area to be predicted; the destructive fault location information set includes at least one piece of location information of a destructive fault; the location information of the destructive fault is the spatial position of a fault that becomes active and has a destructive effect on the cap rock of the oil and gas reservoir after the oil and gas accumulate to form a reservoir.

[0032] Step 103, based on the fault plane interpretation data and the target cap rock section plane interpretation data in the petroleum seismic exploration data of the area to be predicted, construct a three-dimensional fault plane model and a three-dimensional cap rock plane model respectively.

[0033] Step 104, based on the set of damaged fault location information, the three-dimensional cap layer model and the three-dimensional fault layer model are coupled to construct a cap layer and fault coupled structural model.

[0034] Step 105: Based on the coupled structural model of the cap rock and the fault, obtain the cap rock damage index of the area to be predicted.

[0035] Step 106, determining the degree of damage to the sealing property of the caprock by the faults in the area to be predicted based on the caprock damage index of the area to be predicted.

[0036] By implementing the above steps 101 to 106, the present application not only improves the accuracy and reliability of the degree of damage caused by fractures to the sealing property of the cap rock, but also provides a more efficient and scientific evaluation method for oil and gas exploration and development.

[0037] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, step 102 specifically includes:

[0038] The stratigraphic thickness of the downthrown plate, the stratigraphic thickness of the upthrown plate and the fault throw of the fault in the predicted area are determined based on the fault plane interpretation data, the target cap rock section plane interpretation data and the geological age data of the formation in the predicted area.

[0039] The fracture growth index of each fault in the predicted area is obtained according to the ratio of the thickness of the downthrown plate to the thickness of the upthrown plate in the predicted area.

[0040] The reactivated fault distance is obtained by subtracting the fault distance of the predicted area from the ancient fault distance in the strata during the oil and gas accumulation period. The ancient fault distance in the strata during the oil and gas accumulation period is obtained by the vertical fault distance subtraction method.

[0041] According to the petroleum seismic exploration data of the area to be predicted, the location information of each fault is obtained, and according to the fault growth index and reactivated fault distance of each fault in the area to be predicted, the initial fault set is obtained.

[0042] The location information of the faults in the initial fault set whose fracture growth index is greater than 1 and whose reactivated fault distance is greater than the preset fault distance threshold is added to the damaged fault location information set. In petroleum geological research, the fracture growth index is a key indicator for evaluating the activity of fractures. Its calculation is based on the ratio of the formation thickness of the downthrown plate to the upthrown plate, and the fracture growth index can be calculated. When the index is equal to 1, it indicates that the fracture has not been reactivated after the oil and gas accumulation; when the index is greater than 1 and the reactivated fault distance is greater than the preset fault distance threshold, it indicates that the fracture has been reactivated, thereby determining which fractures have a destructive effect on the caprock. Formation thickness and fracture growth index can be further calculated based on petroleum seismic exploration data.

[0043] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, step 104 specifically includes:

[0044] Based on the set of damage fault position information, the damage fault position is hollowed out in the three-dimensional cap layer model, and filled with data corresponding to the damage fault position in the three-dimensional fault layer model to construct a cap layer and fault coupling structural model.

[0045] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the above step 105 is replaced by the following steps 201 to 203:

[0046] Step 201, based on the coupled structural model of the cap rock and fault, obtain the complex fracture structure parameter (complex index, CI) of the cap rock segment in the area to be predicted.

[0047] Step 202, obtain the distribution data of the reactivation rate of the fault and the mud content of the cap rock in the plane after the oil and gas accumulation in the predicted area. The definition of the reactivation rate of the fault is the reactivation fault distance of the fault divided by the geological time of the reactivation of the fault. The higher the reactivation rate Va of the fault after the oil and gas accumulation, the stronger the fault activity, the greater the destructive effect of the fault on the cap rock, and the worse the sealing ability of the cap rock; the lower the reactivation rate Va. As mentioned above, when the index is greater than 1, it indicates that the fault has reactivated, and the reactivation fault distance needs to be further calculated along the fault strike. The reactivation fault distance of the fault should be equal to the fault distance in the current formation minus the ancient fault distance in the formation during the oil and gas accumulation period. The calculation of the ancient fault distance can be obtained by the vertical fault distance subtraction method. The higher the mud content of the cap rock section, the stronger the sealing ability of the cap rock; and the higher the sandstone content in the cap rock, the weaker the sealing ability of the cap rock, because the permeability of sandstone is stronger and sandstone is more likely to break and produce cracks and micro fractures. The distribution data of the mud content of the cap rock in the plane are obtained through seismic inversion data. The formation thickness, fault throw and paleo-fault throw are further calculated based on the petroleum seismic exploration data.

[0048] Step 203, obtaining the caprock fracturing index (CFI) of the area to be predicted based on the complex fracture structure parameters of the current caprock segment of the area to be predicted, the reactivation rate of the fault after oil and gas accumulation, and the planar distribution data of the caprock shale content.

[0049] As an optional implementation, step 201 specifically includes:

[0050] Based on the coupled structural model of cap rock and fault, the strike direction of each fault in the area to be predicted is determined.

[0051] A preset sliding window is set along the strike of each fault.

[0052] In each preset sliding window, the chaos index and fractal index of each fault are calculated respectively; wherein the chaos index and fractal index are obtained based on the post-stack three-dimensional seismic processing results data of the petroleum seismic exploration data in the area to be predicted.

[0053] According to the calculated chaos index and fractal index of each fault, the complex fragmentation structure parameters of the cap rock segment in the area to be predicted are obtained.

[0054] Among them, by implementing this implementation method, the complex broken structure parameters of the cap rock section in the area to be predicted are obtained according to the calculated chaos index and fractal index of each fault, which specifically include:

[0055] If the chaos index is greater than or equal to 1, the complex fracture structure parameters of the caprock section are:

[0056] .

[0057] If the chaos index is greater than 0 and less than 1, the complex fracture structure parameters of the caprock section are:

[0058] .

[0059] in, CI Indicates the complex crushing structure parameters of the caprock segment, L represents the chaos index, D I Represents the fractal index.

[0060] In summary, CI The construction of is based on the coupled structural model of caprock and fault and oil seismic exploration data, and is the chaos index of oil seismic exploration data in the caprock section. L , Fractal Index DI Specifically, a constraint window with a certain thickness range is agreed upon according to the thickness of the cap layer, and then the chaos index of the oil seismic exploration data within the constraint window is calculated along the coupled structural model of the cap layer and the fault. L , Fractal Index D I .

[0061] Finally, the complex combined structure of the caprock segment should be extracted by level-by-level constraints. The specific process is as follows:

[0062] The implementation of step-by-step constraints on the complex combined structure of the caprock section is based on the chaos index L in the seismic data. The specific constraints are as follows:

[0063] (1) When L >=1, which means that the network complexity of the combined structure of faults and cracks in the cap layer is high, corresponding to the highly complex waveform in the seismic wave, which means that the risk of cap layer damage is increased and the sealing is reduced. CI Chaos Index L Fractal Index D I The product of .

[0064] (2) When 0< L<1, which means that the network complexity of the combined structure of faults and cracks inside the cap layer is low, corresponding to the seismic waveform with low complexity, which means that the risk of cap layer damage is reduced and the sealing is increased. CI The construction of takes the following form: Chaos Index L It is an important concept in the field of chaos theory and dynamic systems. It is one of the numerical characteristics for identifying chaotic motion. Here, the Lyapunov index (Lyapunov characteristic index) is used to represent the chaotic characteristics in oil seismic data. It is a representation of the chaotic characteristics of complex structures caused by fractures and cracks in the caprock. It is dimensionless. Regarding the judgment of chaos, if the maximum chaos index of a system is L If it is greater than zero, the system exhibits chaotic phenomena, indicating that the system is complex and nonlinear; otherwise, the system is simple and linear.

[0065] Information dimension is a key concept in fractal geometry, which quantifies the amount of information and complexity of fractal structures through specific formulas. It captures the irregularity and complexity inside the fractal structure. In practical applications, information dimension is used as a tool to distinguish the characteristics of different fractal structures. It is particularly helpful to identify and analyze complex structures in the caprock, such as the fault zone inside the caprock, which can be regarded as a complex network structure caused by factors such as fractures and cracks, which are the result of the internal response of the caprock. Information dimension can be calculated by the box-counting method.

[0066] Among them, in this implementation method, the calculation formula of the chaos index is:

[0067] .

[0068] in, t Indicates the position of any post-stack 3D seismic processing result data on the fault surface. represents the distance between two seismic wave traces x(t) and y(t) at position t, Represents the distance between the two seismic wave traces x(0) and y(0) at the starting reference position.

[0069] The calculation formula of the fractal index is:

[0070] .

[0071] .

[0072] in, Indicates the minimum sliding window unit used in fractal measurement. I represents information entropy, pi Indicates that the fault is i The probability of a preset sliding window being observed.

[0073] As an optional implementation, step 203 specifically includes:

[0074] .

[0075] From the above mentioned factors and parameters analysis, CFI The index is composed of multiple parameters that affect the sealing quality of the caprock, and is combined with the complex fragmentation structure parameters of the caprock segment composed of faults and cracks. CI , the rate of reactivation of faults after oil and gas accumulation Va Proportional to the distribution data of the mud content of the caprock on the plane vsh Inversely proportional.

[0076] If the chaos index is greater than or equal to 1, the caprock damage index is:

[0077] .

[0078] If the chaos index is greater than 0 and less than 1, the caprock damage index is:

[0079] .

[0080] in, CFI represents the caprock damage index, L represents the chaos index, D I represents the fractal index, Va It indicates the rate of fault reactivation after oil and gas accumulation, which is the ratio of the fault distance caused by the reactivation of the fault after the accumulation to the corresponding geological age interval; vsh Represents the distribution data of the mud content of the cap rock on the plane.

[0081] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, step 106 specifically includes:

[0082] The degree of damage to the caprock sealing property of the faults in the predicted area is determined based on the absolute value of the difference between the caprock damage index of the predicted area and the preset damage index threshold; the preset damage index threshold is determined based on the lithology inversion data, oil and gas well logging interpretation data and oil and gas test results data in the petroleum seismic exploration data of the predicted area and adjacent areas. CFI , it can be calibrated according to the presence or absence of oil and gas reservoirs (oil and gas displays) CFI The lower threshold is the area to be predicted. CFI Data and CFIBy comparing the lower thresholds, the sealing performance of the cap rock to oil and gas can be quantitatively evaluated, and favorable locations and locations with the risk of cap rock damage can be determined.

[0083] The area to be predicted CFI Value and CFI The lower threshold comparison, where if the area to be predicted CFI If the value is larger than the lower limit of the sealing value, the cap layer is highly damaged and the sealing property of the cap layer in the corresponding part becomes worse; on the contrary, if the cap layer is less damaged, the sealing property of the cap layer in the corresponding part is strong.

[0084] Specifically, the sealing capacity of each test point of the cover layer is CFI The difference between the fault value and the lower limit of the sealing value indicates that if the difference is larger, the destructive effect of the fault on the cap rock is stronger and the sealing property of the cap rock is weaker, and vice versa.

[0085] Taking a tension-type normal fault in a basin in the eastern part of a country as an example, the effect of this application is described. Picture 2 As shown in the figure. It is found that the degree of damage to the cap rock by different faults varies greatly, and there are also obvious differences in different parts of the same fault zone. This change reflects the difference in the damage effect of faults on the cap rock. Specifically, combined with the distribution of oil and gas layers and oil and gas wells in the area, it is statistically believed that 116 is the CFI The lower limit of the index threshold, the region CFI Index greater than 116 belongs to CFI The high-value area is an area where the caprock is severely damaged, which is not conducive to the preservation of oil and gas; it can be used as a location for oil and gas to migrate vertically upward along the fault; CFI Index less than 116 indicates that the sealing property of the caprock is improved. CFI Combined with the oil and gas distribution, further analysis shows that Picture 2 Zhongtan Well A CFI The high-value area indicates that the cap rock is severely damaged, and it is speculated that the possibility of discovering oil and gas in the strata above the cap rock is greater; the area near Well B and Well C CFI The low value is more widely distributed, and the caprock plays a good sealing role. It is speculated that the strata below the caprock are more conducive to oil and gas accumulation; the oil and gas exploration results confirm that well A found good oil and gas shows in the geological strata above the caprock, and wells B and C had no oil and gas shows in the strata above the caprock, but wells B and C found oil and gas below the caprock. The prediction results are consistent with drilling practice, indicating that the application effect of this application conforms to geological laws and is reliable.

[0086] The beneficial effect of the present application is that the complex crushing structure parameters of the cap rock segment with the combined structure of fractures and cracks in the cap rock segment are constructed. CI , combined with the mud content of the caprock vsh , fracture reactivation rate Va , a caprock damage index was proposed CFI The construction method objectively reflects the influence of geological elements such as fault activity, cracks, mud content on the cap rock, so as to achieve the purpose of quantitatively evaluating the vertical sealing ability of the cap rock and determining favorable sealing positions; this application is mainly based on seismic data, which is more objective and rapid, and the evaluation effect brought by this application is more in line with actual geological laws.

[0087] The present application also provides an application scenario, which applies the above-mentioned method for quantitatively determining the destructive effect of fractures on the sealing property of cap rocks. Specifically: the method for quantitatively determining the destructive effect of fractures on the sealing property of cap rocks provided in this embodiment can be applied in oil and gas field exploration and development scenarios. The oil and gas field exploration and development scenario includes a data acquisition link, a data analysis and processing link, and a decision-making link; geological data enters the data analysis and processing link from the data acquisition link, and after a series of analysis and calculation, the sealing property assessment result of the cap rock is obtained, and enters the downstream decision-making link. The method for quantitatively determining the destructive effect of fractures on the sealing property of cap rocks provided in this embodiment belongs to the cap rock sealing property assessment sub-link in the data analysis and processing link. Specifically, in the process of geological data analysis and processing for oil and gas fields, the influence of fractures on the sealing property of cap rocks can be quantitatively determined based on this method, providing a basis for subsequent oil and gas field development decisions.
