Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum geophysical exploration, and in particular relates to a thin reservoir evaluation method, system, medium and equipment based on prestack coherence. Background Art

[0002] A lot of research has been done on the identification and description of thin reservoirs. Commonly used technologies include post-stack seismic attribute technology, spectral decomposition notch technology, edge detection technology, etc. With the increasing demand for exploration accuracy, people realize that post-stack seismic attributes can no longer meet the current identification of thin reservoir structures and properties, so the waveform changes caused by different layered structures have been studied in depth. Studies have shown that when waveforms are obtained from two different observation points, their similarity predicts the impact of different reservoir heterogeneity on seismic waves. The coherence coefficient is a statistical measurement method for waveform similarity, and its correlation predicts the heterogeneity of the structure and properties of thin reservoirs.

[0003] Coherence technology is widely used in the characterization of underground rivers, faults and cracks, sediment pinch-out lines, etc., mainly because rivers, sand body changes, fault development zones, etc. show strong heterogeneity, and their heterogeneous changes are manifested as coherent anomalies. Usually, coherence technology is mainly used for post-stack seismic data. Pre-stack seismic data has richer information and is more sensitive to the changes in waves caused by heterogeneity. Therefore, for crack detection, pre-stack coherence technology has also been applied to pre-stack data in recent years, providing a method for identifying faults inside the formation and obtaining clearer fractures. Compared with cracks, the wave changes caused by the heterogeneity of thin layers are smaller and difficult to identify in post-stack gathers. Therefore, it is necessary to predict thin reservoirs based on pre-stack coherence technology.

[0004] The website of the State Intellectual Property Office (2015.07) discloses a fracture prediction method based on pre-stack coherence. The method first processes the actual pre-stack seismic data to obtain pre-stack seismic gathers after dynamic correction, and then uses the pre-stack azimuth common center point seismic gathers to perform azimuth and offset stacking to obtain azimuth and offset stacking gathers; the stacked azimuth and offset stacking gathers are then subjected to coherence volume calculation based on the covariance matrix to obtain a fracture coherence volume, and then the fracture coherence volume is subjected to fracture parameter inversion calculation to obtain the final fracture development azimuth and development intensity.

[0005] CNKI Foreign Oil and Gas Exploration (1992.09) published the document "Seismic Mapping of Complex Reflection Surfaces Using Common Reflection Element (CRE) Method". The core of the CRE stacking method is the pre-stack coherence analysis of the reflection signal. This allows the selection of shot-detector pairs from a known data set that provides the best image for the inclined reflection surface element. For non-horizontal reflection surface elements, the shot-detector pairs have an asymmetric distribution in space relative to the center point. The coherence analysis is performed on two variables, namely the curvature radius of the reflection wavefront and the angle of incidence.

[0006] China National Knowledge Infrastructure Petroleum Geology and Engineering (2015.11) published the document "Application of Prestack All-round Fracture Prediction Technology Method". Due to the limitations of data structure and prediction method, the conventional prestack fracture prediction method has inaccurate prediction results and multiple solutions. The prestack all-round fracture prediction method is to construct an all-round common reflection angle gather based on all-round seismic acquisition data, and use the AVAZ prestack inversion method to predict the fracture development intensity and direction; the all-round common reflection angle gather contains all the real azimuth information of the formation, which is conducive to the prediction of azimuthal anisotropy; AVAZ prestack inversion can obtain the only solution for fracture direction and development intensity. Summary of the invention

[0050] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0051] The changes in the structure and properties of thin reservoirs are manifested as the heterogeneity of the strata, causing changes in the morphology of the propagating waves. This change can be represented by the coherence coefficient. For inhomogeneous media, when the waveforms are obtained through two different observation points, their similarity predicts the impact of different reservoir heterogeneities on seismic waves. The coherence coefficient is a statistical measurement method for waveform similarity, and its correlation predicts the heterogeneity of the structure and properties of thin reservoirs. The present invention introduces prestack seismic traces into thin reservoir identification, separates coherent waves from scattered waves through wave fields, and then calculates the coherence properties between different waves, and realizes the identification of thin reservoirs in combination with forward simulation.

[0052] The present invention utilizes pre-stack common-center point seismic gathers to separate matrix waves from disturbance waves by means of wave field separation; then, the coherence coefficient between the pre-stack common-center point seismic gathers and the matrix waves and the energy change of the disturbance wave field are obtained for the thin reservoir section, and finally, a comprehensive evaluation of the thin reservoir is achieved based on the forward simulation results of the study area.

[0053] The present invention provides a thin reservoir evaluation method based on prestack coherence, and an embodiment of the method is as follows:

[0054] [Example 1]

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0056] Step 1: Obtain the corrected pre-stack common center point seismic gathers;

[0057] Specifically:

[0058] Preprocessing is performed on actual field seismic data, including filtering, deconvolution, multiple wave suppression, velocity analysis, dynamic correction, and track gathering, etc., to obtain the pre-stack common center point seismic track gather P (i, j) after dynamic correction, where i is the i-th track of the common center point track gather and j is the sampling time;

[0059] Processing methods such as filtering, deconvolution, multiple wave suppression, velocity analysis, dynamic correction, and extraction of gathers are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0060] Step 2: Perform wave field separation;

[0061] Specific operations include:

[0062] The pre-stack common center point seismic traces obtained in the first step after dynamic correction are stacked and averaged as the matrix wave of the seismic wave;

[0063] The thin reservoir is regarded as a disturbance in the formation. Therefore, the seismic gather P(i, j) can be decomposed into the matrix wave propagating in the formation and the disturbance wave in the thin reservoir. The matrix wave is the average fluctuation of the P(i, j) gather, which is obtained by formula (1):

[0064]

[0065] Each trace of the pre-stack common-center seismic gather is considered to be the superposition of the matrix wave and the disturbance wave. Each common-center seismic gather is subtracted from the matrix wave to obtain the disturbance wave of the corresponding trace, which is obtained by formula (2):

[0066] Ps(j)=P(i,j)-P1(j) (2)

[0067] Where P1(j) is the matrix wave propagating in the formation, n is the number of channels in the common center point gather, and Ps(j) is the disturbance wave corresponding to the matrix wave.

[0068] Step 3: Obtain the coherence coefficient between the prestack common center point seismic gathers and matrix waves in the thin reservoir section and the energy change of the disturbance wave field;

[0069] Specific operations include:

[0070] Formula (3) is used to calculate the coherence coefficient between the matrix wave P1(j) and the prestack common center point seismic gather P(i, j) of the thin reservoir segment:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, j1 and j2 represent the thin reservoir development section, p1 and p(i) are the average values ​​of the matrix wave propagated in the formation and the original gather in the reservoir development section.

[0073] Step 4: Based on the forward simulation results of thin reservoirs with different structures and properties in the study area, the relationship between the field thin reservoir coherence coefficient and the reservoir structure and properties is established to achieve the evaluation of thin reservoirs.

[0074] The coherence coefficient and energy distribution between different traces of the disturbance wave Ps(j) are calculated according to formula (3), and finally the thin reservoir identification model is given according to the forward simulation results of the study area.

[0075] In order to verify the effectiveness of the technical method of the present invention, thin reservoirs with different structures are used. Through wave field separation, it can be seen that when the thickness of the thin reservoir is thinner and the number of layers is more (such as Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2, the worse the similarity between the common center point gather and the matrix wave, the thinner the reservoir is, the thicker it is, and the fewer the layers are (e.g. Figure 3 Therefore, the number and thickness (structure) of thin reservoirs can be characterized by the coherence coefficients of different gathers and matrix waves.

[0076] Figure 4 and Figure 5 The common center point gather disturbance wave fields of two thin reservoirs with different properties show that the thin reservoir is thin and has many layers (such as Figure 4 As shown), thin reservoirs are relatively thick and have fewer layers (such as Figure 5 As shown in Figure 1, thin layers of different properties have different energy distributions of scattered waves, and their similarity deteriorates. By studying the development characteristics of thin layers in different work areas and combining the recognition template obtained by forward simulation, pre-stack evaluation of thin reservoirs can be achieved.

[0077] The present invention provides a thin reservoir evaluation system based on prestack coherence, and the embodiments of the system are as follows:

Therefore, the seismic gather P(i, j) can be decomposed into the matrix wave propagating in the formation and the disturbance wave in the thin reservoir. The matrix wave is the average fluctuation of the P(i, j) gather, which is obtained by formula (1):

[0086]

[0087] Each trace of the pre-stack common-center seismic gather is considered to be the superposition of the matrix wave and the disturbance wave. Each common-center seismic gather is subtracted from the matrix wave to obtain the disturbance wave of the corresponding trace, which is obtained by formula (2):

[0088] Ps(j)=P(i,j)-P1(j) (2)

[0089] Where P1(j) is the matrix wave propagating in the formation, n is the number of channels in the common center point gather, and Ps(j) is the disturbance wave corresponding to the matrix wave.

[0090] The coherence coefficient and energy change obtaining unit is used to obtain the coherence coefficient of the prestack common center point seismic gathers and matrix waves in the thin reservoir section and the energy change of the disturbance wave field.
