Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of geophysical exploration, and relates to a pre-stack high-resolution inversion tight oil and gas reservoir sweet spot prediction method and application thereof, and specifically relates to a pre-stack high-resolution inversion tight oil and gas reservoir sweet spot prediction method and application thereof under multi-dimensional information constraints. Background Art
[0002] The global demand for oil and gas is growing rapidly, and the direction of oil and gas exploration has gradually shifted from conventional oil and gas reservoirs to unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. In the process of oil and gas exploration in different regions, the lithology, formation, geology and other properties of different oil fields are different. The detection of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs is achieved through "sweet spot" prediction. Researchers have focused on sweet spot prediction.
[0003] Chinese invention patent 202111236175.9 provides a shale gas sweet spot prediction method and equipment by multi-parameter fusion inversion, the method comprising: based on well logging data, vertically dividing the target layer into small layers to obtain multiple small layers; based on seismic data, obtaining predicted reservoir segment boundaries in multiple small layers; based on the well logging data of the predicted reservoir segment boundaries, intersecting multiple well logging attribute parameters to obtain multi-parameter fitting formulas for carbon content, gas content and porosity respectively; applying the prestack parameter inversion results, combined with the multi-parameter fitting formula, obtaining the profile results and plane results of carbon content, gas content and porosity; combining the profile results and plane results of carbon content, gas content and porosity to predict shale gas sweet spots. This invention weakens the influence of the instability of a single parameter and overcomes the instability of the single parameter results caused by the inversion results of parameters such as density.
[0004] In addition, Chinese invention patent 202011153335.9 provides a method and system for predicting sweet spots in fracture-cavity carbonate micro-reservoirs. The method includes: obtaining seismic pre-stack migration data in the study area; pre-processing the seismic pre-stack migration data with weighted tracks of adjacent seismic tracks to obtain a pre-processed seismic data body; performing gridded formation dip and azimuth scanning based on the pre-processed seismic data body; using the parameters obtained from the formation dip and azimuth scanning to analyze the pre-processed seismic data body, performing weighted average calculations of adjacent seismic tracks guided by structure, and obtaining corresponding formation background data; calculating the residual between the formation background data and the original seismic track in the grid to obtain the sweet spot data of the target reservoir in the study area. This method can effectively identify the secondary reflection intensity and medium-small-scale beaded reflections based on the current existing seismic data, thereby identifying the sweet spot area of the carbonate reservoir. It provides a strong basis for the development of carbonate oil reservoirs and the optimization and deployment of well sites.
[0005] Although there are more and more methods for predicting sweet spots, it is found in the process of exploring oil fields of different properties that the Carboniferous bottom conglomerate strata in some oil fields are thin and dense in lithology, showing the characteristics of unconventional tight sandstone reservoirs with low porosity and low permeability. Drilling data show that there are no structural traps around most low-yield oil flows and thicker oil layers, indicating that the oil and gas accumulation in this layer is not only affected by the structure, but also controlled by lithology or other complex factors. Structural analysis alone cannot identify the distribution range of oil reservoirs and the development pattern of sweet spots. Therefore, the exploration and development of this layer urgently needs to introduce the idea of unconventional oil and gas exploration and development, and increase efforts to improve the ability to identify favorable areas of geological sweet spots and the prediction level of engineering sweet spots.
[0006] Therefore, the present invention is based on the traditional prestack inversion technology. On the one hand, it fully considers the influence of geological factors and builds an initial attribute model that reflects the geological macro-trend. On the other hand, it introduces geostatistical parameters as input data to improve the thin reservoir identification accuracy of conventional seismic data. Its research and development purpose is to digitize multi-dimensional information sources such as geology, seismology, and well logging in the prestack inversion calculation engine. After multiple rounds of iterative simulation operations, a set of high-resolution elastic attribute bodies that highly restore geological-geological information is finally obtained. This set of high-resolution attribute bodies and their derived attribute bodies can also indirectly predict favorable engineering sweet spots. Summary of the invention

The high-resolution pre-stack high-resolution inversion technology under multi-dimensional information constraints is used to obtain multiple elastic attribute models that fully integrate geological, logging, and seismic information at high resolution. Multiple elastic attribute models can be converted into key attributes required to characterize and evaluate geological sweet spots and engineering sweet spots, such as physical properties, oil and gas content, and brittleness.

[0066] Example 1
[0067] A method for predicting sweet spots in tight oil and gas reservoirs using prestack high-resolution inversion under multi-dimensional information constraints. Figure 1 The flowchart comprises the steps of:
[0068] Step S1: Establish an elastic attribute model based on the elastic attribute curve of the seismic interpretation layer and the logging data, and calibrate the elastic attribute model based on the geological and sedimentary characteristics.
[0069] Starting from the well logging data, make full use of the key wells in the work area, use spatial interpolation, and establish an elastic property model. Among them, the well logging data used for model interpolation are elastic well logging curves directly or indirectly related to geological sweet spots and engineering sweet spots, including P-wave velocity-P-wave impedance, S-wave velocity-P-S wave velocity ratio, Young's modulus-Poisson's ratio and other logging curve data information. Key wells are representative wells in the study area with complete logging curves. When the known wells are sparsely distributed in the study area or cannot reflect the spatial distribution trend of the target geological body, reservoir, and oil and gas content due to the skewed distribution of well locations, pseudo wells are added. The pseudo wells should meet the requirements that the interpolation attribute model involved in the establishment conforms to the plane distribution law of the geological characteristics of the study area.
[0070] Under the support of logging data, a geological model is established that associates lithology, physical properties, and hydrocarbon content. The plane and profile laws of the model are extracted, and the functional relationship between elastic properties and geological trends and sedimentary characteristics is established. Repeated iterations are performed, and pseudo wells are added when necessary until the plane characteristics of the elastic properties match the geological characteristics. The model is input into the inversion engine as the data basis for prestack inversion. Figure 2a The present invention provides the geological, lithological, physical and hydrocarbon attribute curves.
[0071] Figure 2b The present invention provides a probability density function statistical analysis diagram of elastic properties of different lithologies; the ordinates in the nine figures are Frequency (probability), and each row of the abscissas is, from left to right: P-Veloctiy (P-wave velocity), S-Veloctiy (S-wave velocity), Vp / Vs (P-wave velocity ratio), P-Impedance (P-wave impedance), S-Impedance (S-wave impedance), Murho (shear modulus), Poisson's ratio, Youngs modulus (Young's modulus), and Lambda rho (Lame coefficient).
[0072] Figure 2c The elastic property cross-plots of different lithologies of the present invention are as follows: I. P-wave impedance and S-wave impedance cross-plots, with the ordinate being S-Impedance, g / cm 3* m / s, the horizontal axis is the longitudinal wave impedance (P-Impedance, g / cm 3* m / s); Ⅱ P-wave impedance and P-S wave velocity ratio cross plot, the ordinate is the P-S wave velocity ratio (Vp / Vs), the abscissa is the P-wave impedance (P-Impedance, g / cm 3* m / s); ⅢPoisson's ratio intersects with Young's modulus, and the ordinate is Young's modulus (Youngsmodulus, N / m 2 ), the horizontal axis is Posson's ratio; IV The Lame coefficient intersects with the shear modulus, the vertical axis is the Lame coefficient, and the horizontal axis is the shear modulus.
[0073] Step S2: Use the corrected velocity field to convert the angle gathers, test stacking schemes at different angles, and perform pre-stack inversion tests on the well line to determine the angle-based stacking schemes.
[0074] On the one hand, strict quality control is performed on the pre-stack time migration gathers, and at the same time, the velocity of the pre-stack time migration is input, and the velocity field is corrected for well control to ensure the accuracy of the velocity field. Among them, strict quality control is performed on the pre-stack seismic gathers by checking whether the flattening degree of the pre-stack seismic gathers meets the requirements of AVO analysis, and whether the amplitude energy compensation of the wellside seismic gathers can accurately reflect the true relationship between the formation and lithology interface changes represented by the logging reflection coefficient. If the above conditions are not met, it is necessary to return to the relevant processing steps of the seismic gathers for gather optimization. The optimization process is to optimize the amplitude attributes of the actual seismic gathers with the wellside forward modeling gathers as the target, until the seismic amplitude of the actual gather target layer is comparable to the amplitude of the wellside forward modeling gathers with the offset distance. The specific processing and quality control steps include the following steps:
[0075] (1) Quality control of amplitude-energy relationship in time domain and processing of amplitude-energy gain of spherical diffusion in time domain;
[0076] (2) Spatial domain amplitude-energy relationship quality control and spatial domain filtering, multiple interference removal and other processing;
[0077] (3) Quality control of the relative relationship of the offset domain amplitude and processing of the offset domain amplitude energy gain;
[0078] (4) Quality control and consistency processing of AVO amplitude attributes.
[0079] On the other hand, the seismic stacking / or offset velocity field is converted into the layer velocity field, and corrected under well control and layer control to ensure the accuracy of the layer velocity field. The corrected velocity field is used to convert the angle gather to test the stacking schemes of different angles (under the conditions of wide azimuth acquisition and long enough offset distance (wide azimuth acquisition mainly refers to the offset distance and coverage times of acquisition, both of which are larger than conventional acquisition, and the underground structure imaging accuracy obtained is higher. The offset distance is the distance between the shot point and the receiver point collected in the field), the maximum incident angle of the target layer reflection wave reaches more than 40°, which exceeds the lower limit of the angle of 30° incident angle required for pre-stack inversion to obtain a stable inversion body. Under this condition, more than 3 partial angle stacking schemes can be tested), and the best angle stacking scheme is determined by testing the stability of the pre-stack inversion results of the key well-connected lines.
[0080] Step S3: Conduct geostatistical simulation for the target strata in the study area, mainly to determine the geostatistical parameters of high-resolution inversion under the constraints of multi-dimensional information.
[0081] Geostatistical parameters mainly include probability density functions and variograms of various elastic properties of different lithologies, which are mainly obtained through logging curves of known wells. By analyzing the geostatistical parameters of various elastic properties under different lithologies, the geological laws are mastered, and the set of parameters is imported into the geostatistical simulation engine as input data to simulate the reservoir lithology and elastic properties, and the profiles and planes of the simulated attribute bodies are quality controlled. The key element of quality control is that the simulated lithology body and elastic attribute body can roughly invert the scale, size and thickness of the target geological body and reservoir in the study area. This process is an iterative process, and finally the geostatistical parameters with the best simulation effect are involved in the inversion.
[0082] Step S4: Based on the above-mentioned various elastic attribute models, the optimized angle-based stacking seismic data and their participation weights (the angle-based pre-stack seismic data body participation in inversion weights can be input as numerical data through absolute / relative signal-to-noise ratio values), and the optimized geostatistical parameters, high-resolution pre-stack inversion is performed to ultimately obtain multiple elastic attribute bodies that can directly or indirectly characterize geological sweet spots and engineering sweet spots.
[0083] On the basis of inputting numerical geological information (various corrected elastic property models that can reflect geological laws), geostatistical parameters that reflect lithology proportion, spatial development scale and scale of geological bodies are combined, and finally, under the constraints of pre-stack angle stacking seismic data body and its participation weights, pre-stack inversion test is carried out and the above types of input data participating in the inversion are further adjusted. Finally, the input data is inverted to obtain multiple elastic property bodies that can characterize geological sweet spots and engineering sweet spots.
[0084] Step S5: Based on the above-mentioned multiple inversion elastic attribute bodies (and their derived mechanical properties) that directly or indirectly characterize geological sweet spots and engineering sweet spots, the sweet spot development pattern, development scale, and spatial distribution of the target layer in the study area are characterized at multiple scales to provide detailed and accurate data and model support for exploration and development.
[0085] Application Example 1
[0086] The prediction method of the present invention (Example 1) is applied to the prediction of favorable areas of geological and engineering sweet spots:
[0087] Compared with the elastic attribute model in the prediction method of this application, the conventional inversion elastic model interpolation is more accurate, especially for large study areas (greater than 1000km 2 ), the geological and sedimentary laws change. Due to the limited number of wells or the skewed distribution of well locations, the changes in the overall geological trend cannot be reflected. This makes the plane law of the interpolation model usually inconsistent with the geological law, such as Figure 3 Comparison chart shown.
[0088] In order to make the elastic attribute model more consistent with geological laws and integrate geological and lithological information into the elastic attribute model, it is necessary to use geological information, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the elastic attribute model is corrected based on the interpolation model of the lithology and physical properties of the well logging data, and an elastic attribute model consistent with the plane law and the geological law is obtained, as shown in the figure. Figure 5 shown.
[0089] High-resolution prestack inversion technology under multi-dimensional information constraints, targeting the characteristics of low porosity and low permeability in the target area and rapid lateral changes in sedimentary subfacies, on the one hand, digitizes the geological, sedimentary, and lithological information as prior information for prestack inversion and inputs it into the inversion engine. On the other hand, a fine stratigraphic grid is built according to the thickness of the thinnest reservoir in the target layer, and elastic parameter seed points are calculated at each grid point and prestack synthetic records are formed through wavelets. The optimal elastic parameter seed points are determined by continuous optimization to achieve a high degree of match with prestack seismic data. This technology can obtain a high-resolution elastic model that fully integrates multiple attributes of geological, logging, and seismic information. The multi-attribute elastic parameter model can be converted into key attributes required to evaluate geological sweet spots and engineering sweet spots, such as physical properties, oil and gas content, and brittleness.
[0090] The prediction method and application described in the embodiments and application examples of the present invention are as follows:
[0091] (1) It can clearly identify thin reservoirs of the target layer, with a resolution 3-4 times higher than conventional inversion;
[0092] It is mainly achieved through geostatistical algorithms. The most common type of algorithm on the market is the conjugate gradient global error minimization optimization method. The Gaussian global optimization method, Monte Carlo method, etc. have been used in the field of geology and have worked well. With the support of the algorithm, geostatistical parameters need to be obtained. Geostatistical parameters mainly include probability density functions and variation functions of various elastic properties of different lithologies. Such parameters are mainly obtained through logging curves of known wells. By analyzing the geostatistical parameters of various elastic properties under different lithologies and mastering their geological laws, this set of parameters is imported as input data into the geostatistical simulation engine to simulate the reservoir lithology and elastic properties, and to perform quality control on the profiles and planes of the simulated attribute bodies. The process is as follows: Figure 6 As shown. The key element of quality control is that the simulated lithology and elastic properties can roughly reflect the scale, size and thickness of the target geological body and reservoir in the study area. This process is an iterative process, and the geostatistical parameters with the best simulation effect will eventually be used for inversion. Geostatistical inversion can improve the resolution of target geological bodies by 3-4 times based on conventional inversion, such as Figure 7 shown.
[0093] (2) The inverted reservoir spatial distribution law is combined with geological laws;
[0094] Conventional inversion elastic model interpolation, especially for large study areas (greater than 1000km 2 ), the geological and sedimentary laws change. Due to the limited number of wells or the skewed distribution of well locations, the plane law of the interpolation model is usually inconsistent with the geological law. In order to make the initial elastic model more consistent with the geological law, the geological and lithological information is integrated into the elastic model. It is necessary to use the data related to the geological information to correct the initial elastic model and obtain an elastic model with consistent plane law and geological law, such as Figure 8 Only by carrying out inversion based on such an initial model can we obtain the inversion results of composite geological laws.
[0095] (3) Multiple elastic properties can be obtained. On the basis of calculating the geological sweet spot, the engineering sweet spot parameters can also be calculated. The geological sweet spot is a high-quality area of tight sandstone gas resources, and the engineering sweet spot is an area where complex fractures are easily formed by fracturing. Only by combining the "geological-engineering" double sweet spots and fully considering the strong heterogeneity of the reservoir can the wellbore trajectory, fracturing location and process design be effectively guided to extract tight sandstone gas in an efficient and low-cost manner.
[0096] From the perspective of geophysical research, the key is to obtain as many attributes as possible that can directly and indirectly accurately reflect geological sweet spots and engineering sweet spots, including lithological attributes, physical attributes, elastic attributes, etc. These attributes can be obtained by the prediction method described in the present invention, as shown in FIG9 . Figure 9a The geological sweet spots include structural sedimentation, lithology, physical properties and hydrocarbon content; Figure 9b The engineering sweet spots include brittleness index, stress pressure and fracture cracks. By integrating multiple attributes, a comprehensive analysis of geological and engineering sweet spots can be conducted to ultimately determine favorable exploration and development areas, as shown in Figure 10, and to achieve a graded evaluation of them. Fig.10a It is a high-resolution multi-attribute inversion result used for the attribute result map of the prediction of favorable geological and engineering sweet spots; Fig.10b It is a high-resolution multi-attribute inversion result for the preliminary distribution result map of comprehensive rating indicators of geological and engineering sweet spots; Fig.10c It is a high-resolution multi-attribute inversion result used for comprehensive prediction of geological and engineering sweet spots and plane distribution result map.
[0097] The results of the present invention can provide data support for the exploration and development process of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs to a great extent. If promoted and applied in unconventional oil and gas reservoir blocks, it can greatly improve the efficiency of exploration and development and contribute hard-core support from the geophysical field to increasing reserves and production.
