Description

[0002] The reconstruction of lithofacies paleogeography is an important research topic in marine strata. It is of great significance to the understanding of the tectonic-sedimentary evolution and sedimentary filling process of the basin, and provides important theoretical support for oil and gas exploration and the prediction of favorable areas. For a long time, the progress of lithofacies paleogeography research in prototype basins has been restricted to a certain extent due to factors such as limited drilling, complex seismic imaging, and low exploration level in the deep strata of the basin. In addition, the differences in the focus of data selection and understanding of paleo-tectonic background among different experts and scholars have also led to significant differences in the understanding of lithofacies paleogeography and tectonic sedimentary patterns. In the current context of oil and gas exploration from shallow to deep layers, deep / ultra-deep marine strata are the key successor areas for future oil and gas exploration. Determining the characteristics of tectonic sedimentary patterns and lithofacies paleogeography is one of the important prerequisites for oil and gas exploration. In recent years, the main methods for reconstructing lithofacies paleogeography include sedimentological methods, sequence stratigraphic analysis, and geophysical methods. These methods have greatly promoted the development and understanding of lithofacies paleogeography in different regions, but they are difficult to meet the comprehensive multi-factor quantitative needs in the process of oil and gas geological exploration.

[0046] By analyzing the development characteristics and genetic mechanism of stratigraphic sequences, we determine the identification marks of different sequence interfaces, explore their contact relationship with tectonic interfaces, and then collect samples and make thin sections based on sequence types and rock structures.

[0047] Methods for restoring the basin's prototype basement include:

[0048] Based on the 3D seismic work area, supported by the theories of plate tectonics and geotectonics, and combining previous research results (including geological structure, sedimentary characteristics and evolution, and tectonic characteristics and evolution) with field geological profiles, we identified key unconformities and detailed their properties and characteristics. Furthermore, we analyzed the prototype basement of the study area based on its filling geometry and boundary reconstruction characteristics, and used the balanced profile technique to restore the prototype basement of the basin.

[0049] Based on the restoration of the prototype basement of the basin, the properties of the prototype basement of the basin and the development characteristics of the source-sink system are clarified, and a basin tectonic evolution model is established.

[0050] Based on the characteristics of the prototype basement of the basin and the outcrop sections of the field sections, combined with the plane distribution of the well locations and the marine stratigraphic positions, core wells were selected for core observation and photography. Sampling and sectioning, as well as carbon and oxygen isotope and in-situ micro-area element testing, were also carried out according to rock types and sedimentary structures.

[0051] By using a combination of macro- and micro-technical means, we can clarify the rock types and development characteristics of the basin, determine the identification marks of different rocks and stratigraphic sedimentary interfaces, and establish the basin rock phase sequence combination.

[0052] Based on the results of electrical logging curves and lithologic interpretation, combined with the rock types of cores and field geological outcrop profiles, a rock-electrical interpretation model was established using spectrum analysis and core tracing techniques to clarify the sedimentary facies, electrical curve development characteristics, and identification marks of different rock types.

Example

[0058] The following describes the implementation process of the method of the present invention by taking the tectonic-sedimentary coupled Ordovician marine strata in the Sichuan Basin as an example.

[0059] The present invention provides a flow chart of a method for reconstructing the lithofacies paleogeography of a basin-marine stratum based on tectonic-sedimentary coupling, comprising the following steps:

[0060] Step 1: Establish drilling area and 3D seismic area;

[0061] Based on the scope of the basin, data on geological background, geological maps, structure, well location information, coring data, well logging, and seismic data are collected and summarized according to data attributes, and drilling work areas and 3D seismic work areas are established.

[0062] Step 2: Observe the geological outcrop sections in the field to determine the types of different sequence interfaces;

[0063] Based on paleogeological maps and plate tectonic maps (e.g. Figure 2 (as shown), field geological outcrop sections were selected, and with structural geology and sedimentary petrology as theoretical guidance, the development characteristics of basin structure and sedimentation were observed and measured, and the structural types and occurrences, as well as the development characteristics of sedimentary structures and rock types were recorded respectively. The analysis confirmed that the Upper Yangtze Platform in the Sichuan Basin was formed in the forebulge position of the arc-back foreland basin under the background of Gondwana convergence; by analyzing the development characteristics and genetic mechanism of stratigraphic sequences, with the ancient weathering crust, karst interface, unconformity interface and lithology-lithofacies transition surface as the main identification marks of sequence interfaces, their contact relationship with structural interfaces was explored, and then samples were collected and thin sections were made according to the sequence type and rock fabric.

[0064] Step 3: Based on the established drilling and 3D seismic work areas, identify and determine the types of different sequence interfaces and restore the prototype basement of the basin;

[0065] Based on the 3D seismic work area, supported by the theories of plate tectonics and geotectonics, and combining previous research results (including geological structure, sedimentary characteristics and evolution, and tectonic characteristics and evolution) with field geological profiles, we determined the third-order sequence interfaces, and detailed their properties and characteristics. Furthermore, we analyzed the prototype basement of the study area based on its filling geometry and boundary reconstruction characteristics, and used the balanced profile technique to restore the prototype basement of the basin.

[0066] Based on the restoration of the prototype basement of the basin, the properties of the prototype basement of the basin and the development characteristics of the source-sink system were clarified. The Yangtze Platform (South China Plate) where the basin is located was mainly subjected to plate subduction and compression in the Late Cambrian and Ordovician (Yunnan Movement). Multiple structural-sedimentary cycles developed inside, forming the structural characteristics of the Nanhua Rift and the Xuefeng Uplift, and thus establishing the basin's tectonic evolution model. (See Figure 3 ).

[0067] Step 4: Based on the prototype basement characteristics of the basin and the outcrop sections of the field section, use a combination of macroscopic and microscopic techniques to clarify the basin rock types and establish the basin rock phase sequence combination;

[0068] Based on the prototype basement characteristics of the basin and the outcrop profiles of the field sections, combined with the plane distribution of the well locations and the marine stratigraphic positions, core wells were selected for core observation and photography, and sampling and sectioning, carbon and oxygen isotope and in-situ micro-area element testing were carried out according to the rock types and sedimentary structures. Using a combination of macroscopic and microscopic technical means, the main rock types developed in the basin were determined to be mudstone, marlstone, micritic limestone, bioclastic micritic limestone, micritic bioclastic limestone, dolomite, argillaceous siltstone, and shale. The identification marks of the sedimentary interfaces of different rocks and sequences were determined, and the rock phase sequence combination of the basin was established, such as shale-micritic limestone-bioclastic micritic limestone-micritic bioclastic limestone, mudstone-micritic limestone-bioclastic micritic limestone-micritic bioclastic limestone.

[0069] Step 5: Based on the rock phase sequence combination, electrical logging curves and lithologic interpretation results of the basin, spectrum analysis and core tracing techniques are used to establish a rock-electrical interpretation model to determine the sedimentary process and the nature of seawater changes;

[0070] Based on the results of electrical logging curves and lithologic interpretation, combined with the rock types of cores and field geological outcrop profiles, a rock-electrical interpretation model was established using spectrum analysis and core tracing techniques. The sedimentary facies, electrical curve development characteristics, and identification marks corresponding to mudstone, marlstone, micritic limestone, bioclastic micritic limestone, micritic bioclastic limestone, dolomite, argillaceous siltstone, and shale were clearly identified. Based on the longitudinal variation trend of carbon and oxygen isotopes and the results of in situ micro-area element testing, the relationship between rock phase sequence and sea level changes was analyzed. The sea level mainly experienced three sedimentary processes: lowstand system tract, transgressive system tract, and highstand system tract. The energy of the water body transitioned from low energy to high energy in the vertical direction, and the sedimentary environment changed from open to semi-confined environment.

[0071] Step 6: Based on the 3D seismic area and well logging data, combined with the rock electrical interpretation model, and using well-seismic combined technology, a well logging-seismic sequence stratigraphic framework section is constructed to determine the sequence stratigraphic division scheme;

[0072] Based on the 3D seismic work area and logging and well data, combined with the identification marks of the interface between structure and sequence deposition, the well logging-seismic sequence stratigraphic framework section was constructed using the technical means of combining well and seismic. The sequence strata were identified and tracked, and the filling structure and contact relationship (conformity contact, parallel unconformity, angular unconformity) of the sequence strata in the horizontal and vertical directions were clarified. The strata were determined to be divided into five third-level sequences.

[0073] Step 7: Based on the division scheme of the five third-order sequence stratigraphic layers, establish the basin sedimentary evolution model and basin sedimentary model (such as Figure 4(as shown), determine the development characteristics and distribution location of sedimentary facies;

[0074] Based on the sequence stratigraphic division scheme, the basin's marine strata were divided. Combined with the rock phase sequence combination, sea level changes, sedimentary processes and seawater properties, a basin sedimentary evolution model was established, and the main sedimentary characteristics and main controlling factors of different sequences were analyzed. Then, based on the filling method and sedimentary process of the sequence, the basin's sedimentary model was constructed, and the sedimentary facies development characteristics and distribution locations of restricted lagoons, deltas, tidal margin beaches, tidal flats, platform flats, semi-restricted seas, intra-platform beaches, Xuefeng Mountain underwater uplift, and shelf-slopes were determined.

[0075] Step 8: Based on the well logging-seismic sequence stratigraphic framework profile, restore the sedimentary micro-geomorphology of different sequences, identify the rock types and sedimentary microfacies within the sequence framework, and count the types and characteristics of rocks and sedimentary facies in different sequences;

[0076] Based on the logging-seismic sequence stratigraphic framework profile, a single sequence is regarded as a sedimentary isochronous geological body. Combined with the basin basement layer, a sequence thickness map is drawn, and the relationship between the internal sedimentary filling mode and the lithofacies combination is analyzed to restore the sedimentary micro-geomorphology of different sequences. Based on the rock-electrical interpretation model, the rock types and sedimentary microfacies within the sequence framework are identified, and the types and characteristics of rocks and sedimentary facies of each sequence are counted according to the data points.

[0077] Step 9: Based on the basin prototype basement, sedimentary pattern, and sedimentary period micro-geomorphology, and in accordance with the dominant and special phases rules, a single-factor analysis and multi-factor comprehensive mapping method is used to reconstruct the lithofacies paleogeography of the basin marine strata of each sequence and determine the paleogeographic pattern of the basin;

[0078] Based on the prototype basement, sedimentary model and sedimentary micro-geomorphology of the basin, the sedimentary facies type and characteristics of each sequence at each data point, under the constraint of sequence stratigraphic thickness, and according to the dominant and special facies rules, the lithofacies paleogeography of the basin marine strata of each sequence was reconstructed using the single factor analysis and multi-factor comprehensive mapping method (see Figure 5 ), and then determined that the basin generally presents a paleogeographic pattern of high in the west and low in the east.

Combined with the basin basement layer, a sequence thickness map is drawn, and the relationship between the internal sedimentary filling mode and the lithofacies combination is analyzed to restore the sedimentary micro-geomorphology of different sequences. Based on the rock-electrical interpretation model, the rock types and sedimentary microfacies within the sequence framework are identified, and the types and characteristics of rocks and sedimentary facies of each sequence are counted according to the data points.

10. The method for basin marine stratigraphic lithofacies paleogeography reconstruction based on tectonic-sedimentary coupling according to claim 9, characterized in that: S7 Methods for reconstructing the lithofacies paleogeography of basin-marine strata in each sequence include: Based on the prototype basement, sedimentary pattern and micro-geomorphology of the basin during the sedimentary period, and using the sedimentary facies types and characteristics of each sequence at each data point, and under the constraint of sequence stratigraphic thickness, according to the dominant and special facies rules, a single-factor analysis and multi-factor comprehensive mapping method was used to reconstruct the lithofacies paleogeography of the basin's marine strata in each sequence, and thus determine the paleogeographic pattern of the basin.
