Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploration, and relates to an oil-water interface prediction method, in particular to an oil-water interface seismic prediction method, device and storage medium. Background Art
[0002] The determination of the oil-gas-water interface is one of the important links in oil and gas exploration and reservoir evaluation. The position of the oil-water interface in the reservoir is indispensable information for evaluating the reservoir and calculating the oil and gas reserves.
[0003] At present, the research methods used by Chinese and foreign scholars for oil-water interface identification and prediction mainly include direct methods such as core profile analysis, dynamic data method, well logging interpretation method, oil testing method, geochemical determination method, as well as indirect methods such as formation pressure estimation method, capillary pressure prediction method, seismic attribute analysis method, water breakthrough time-liquid production depth intersection method, karst residual hillock landform method, etc.
[0004] In oilfield exploration, the above-mentioned prediction methods primarily determine the location of the oil-water contact based on well logging, well testing, and well testing data. While effective, this method requires extensive data and reliable results from drilling a large number of wells. However, for offshore oilfields or in the early stages of exploration, insufficient data may be obtained due to a small number of wells drilled, or only a single fluid phase may be encountered, making the aforementioned oil-water contact prediction methods unsuitable. Therefore, for these types of oilfields, identifying the oil-water contact is difficult if it has not been encountered, making it difficult to clearly determine the scale of oil and gas reserves. Summary of the Invention

[0011] S4. Establish a time-depth relationship that meets the depth requirements and perform time-depth conversion on the aquifer distribution in the study area. The shallowest depth of the aquifer is the oil-water interface.

[0017] S13. Establish an intersection interpretation template for the P-wave impedance and S-wave impedance curves of the actual reservoir state and the water-saturated state.
[0018] As a further limitation, the well logging curves include compressional wave velocity, shear wave velocity and density curves.
[0019] The present invention also provides a computer device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements the above-mentioned oil-water interface earthquake prediction method when executing the computer program.
[0020] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for executing the above-mentioned oil-water interface earthquake prediction method.

[0030] Example 1 A method for predicting earthquakes at an oil-water interface
[0031] This embodiment discloses a method for predicting earthquakes at an oil-water interface. The operation flow chart is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this method was applied in a study area where only one well was drilled. The actual formation oil saturation was predicted to be 56% based on the well logging interpretation results, and no water layer was encountered. The specific operation included the following steps:
[0032] S1.
[0033] S11. Based on the measured logging curves of P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, and density during drilling and the interpretation results, establish an original interpretation template and an actual formation model;
[0034] S12. The actual formation model is replaced with Gassmann fluids with different water contents in the reservoir. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment mainly obtains a water-saturated replacement model and calculates the longitudinal wave velocity, shear wave velocity and density of the water-saturated replacement model;
[0035] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that the dotted lines represent the actual velocity curve and the actual density curve (the actual formation oil saturation is 56%). The predicted P-wave velocity and density curves when the formation oil saturation is 60% are close to the actual curves, indicating that the established formation model is reliable and the fluid replacement results are relatively accurate.
[0036] S13. Establish an intersection interpretation template for the longitudinal wave impedance and shear wave impedance curves of the reservoir's actual fluid state and water-saturated state, such as Figure 3 As shown;
[0037] S2. Apply the measured P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity and density as well as the seismic data volume to perform pre-stack Bayesian inversion and perform soft constraints on the model to obtain the inversion results of P-wave impedance and S-wave impedance of the study area with high accuracy and resolution, such as Figure 4 As shown;
[0038] S3. Based on the intersection interpretation template obtained in step S13, the inversion results of the longitudinal wave impedance and the shear wave impedance obtained in step S2 are used to predict the distribution of the aquifer in the study area;
[0039] S4. Calculate the deviation between the logging velocity and the velocity spectrum based on the projection point of the velocity spectrum at the logging location. The result is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the deep deviation difference is derived and the time-depth relationship that meets the depth requirements of the data body is established. On this basis, the time-depth conversion of the aquifer distribution in the study area is carried out. The shallowest depth position of the aquifer is the oil-water interface position. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 6 shown.
