AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the distribution characteristics of deep favorable reservoirs in lithologic reservoirs developed in continental lacustrine basins are difficult to identify from seismic data and conventional inversion results. This leads to uncertainties in reservoir description in existing technologies.
By performing frequency-spreading processing of seismic data from the work area and calibrating synthetic records, using the method described in the patent, the rock-electrical characteristics and sand body formation stages were clarified through discrete synthetic record calibration. Specific measures for discrete synthetic records were implemented to interpret a density of 50m*50m. Rock-electrical characteristics were used to clarify the sand body formation stages, and sensitive attribute hollowing was performed. Combined with the seismic facies characteristics of the frequency-spreading seismic data, sand body boundaries were determined. Rock-electrical characteristics were used to clarify the top and bottom of the sand bodies for interpretation. Sensitive attributes were extracted and hollowed out to further clarify sand body boundaries. Rock physical parameters and reservoir physical parameters were correlated, and physical property inversion was performed. Rock physical parameters with high correlation to physical properties were identified, and correlation analysis of physical property parameters was conducted, thus achieving reservoir prediction.
A method for predicting favorable reservoirs has been developed, which uses modified inversion and combines drilling and other data to accurately track and describe favorable reservoir development areas.

[0051] The technical solutions of the present application are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0052] As Figure 1 shown, Figure 1 is a flow chart of a favorable reservoir prediction method under the constraint of a deposition cycle.
[0053] Step 101, seismic data in the work area is processed to expand the frequency, the longitudinal resolution is obviously improved, the corresponding relationship between the lithology and the seismic reflection characteristics is determined through the discrete synthetic record calibration, and the describability probability of the reservoir on the expanded frequency seismic profile is analyzed. In an embodiment, the three-dimensional seismic data of the study area has a narrow frequency band, a low main frequency, and a low signal-to-noise ratio in the target layer. By expanding the frequency to improve the longitudinal resolution, the wavelet of the synthetic record is more consistent with the well trace, and the relationship between the lithology and the seismic reflection characteristics is more clear, 80% of the sandstone corresponds to a strong axis, as shown in Figure 2 .
[0054] Step 102, the sedimentary cycle is analyzed through the rock-electricity characteristics, and the sand body formation period is determined in combination with the source system. In an embodiment, on the basis of step 101, the work area can be divided into five periods through the rock-electricity characteristics, as shown in Figure 3 .
[0055] Step 103, the top and bottom of each sand body are interpreted, the interpretation density reaches 50m*50m, the accuracy of the seismic interpretation is ensured, and the sensitive attribute is extracted. In an embodiment, on the basis of step 103, the top surface of the five sand bodies is finely interpreted, and the root mean square amplitude attribute is preferably extracted, as shown in Figure 4 .
[0056] Step 104, the amplitude attribute of the sandstone is counted, the sandstone threshold value is set, and the sand body boundary is finely described by using the amplitude attribute graph. In an embodiment, the five sand bodies in the study area correspond to different amplitude threshold values, as shown in Figure 5 , the 4th period AMP>4000, the 3rd period sand body AMP>6000, and the 2nd period sand body AMP>300; the sand body thickness has a positive correlation with the amplitude, as shown in Figure 6 .
[0057] Step 105, on the basis of steps 103 and 104, the sand body boundary is finely described by using the amplitude attribute graph and the seismic data according to the amplitude threshold value of each sand body. In an embodiment, according to the lowest threshold value of the sandstone, the hollow root mean square amplitude attribute and the expanded frequency seismic data are used to finely describe the sand body boundary, as shown in Figure 7 .
[0058] Step 106, the petrophysical parameters are combined with the reservoir physical property parameters to determine the petrophysical parameters related to the physical property, and inversion is performed; in an embodiment, the study area makes full use of the shear wave logging and pre-stack gather data, obtains the elastic parameter volume such as the longitudinal wave impedance, the shear wave impedance and the ratio of the longitudinal wave velocity to the shear wave velocity through the pre-stack simultaneous inversion technology, and the correlation between the ratio of the longitudinal wave velocity to the shear wave velocity and the porosity is determined through the petrophysical analysis, and finally the porosity data volume is converted from the inversion result of the ratio of the longitudinal wave velocity to the shear wave velocity, and the reservoir physical property prediction is realized, as shown in Figure 8
[0059] Step 107, the actual drilled sand body physical property of the well participating in the inversion and the well not participating in the inversion is compared and verified with the inversion result, and the inversion and the drilling data are used to accurately track and describe the favorable reservoir. In an embodiment, the coincidence degree between the actual drilled sand body physical property and the predicted sand body physical property in the study area is more than 80%, as shown in Figure 9 From the effect, the porosity inversion profile can identify the favorable reservoir, and solves the problem that the seismic profile cannot predict the favorable reservoir, and the favorable reservoir development area is accurately tracked and described by using the inversion and combining with the drilling data.
[0060] Beneficial effect: it is difficult to understand the distribution characteristics of the favorable reservoir from the interpretation of the seismic data and the conventional inversion result profile.
[0061] The above specific embodiments further specifically describe the purpose, technical scheme and beneficial effect of the present application, and it should be understood that the above is only the specific embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the protection scope of the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
