[0065] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this specification, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of this specification.

[0066] The lateral variation property of the fault dip along the strike is an important parameter for structural traps and fault block traps in oil and gas exploration and development. The existing common methods are manual picking or automatic discrimination for a single profile. There is currently no research on how to directly and accurately analyze the fault dip and its lateral variation on the plane, resulting in the non - implementation of fault - related traps during the structural mapping of the target layer in oil and gas exploration, causing the failure of oil and gas exploration and development. Moreover, the lateral variation of the fault dip has an important impact on the sealing property and gas - water relationship on both sides of the fault. Therefore, how to accurately judge the fault dip and its lateral mutation points has important significance and economic value for oil and gas exploration and development.

[0067] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of this specification provide a method for discriminating the fault dip and lateral mutation points. Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of a method for discriminating the fault dip and lateral mutation points provided by the embodiments of this specification. This specification provides the method operation steps as described in the embodiments or flowcharts, but based on routine or non - creative labor, it may include more or fewer operation steps. The step order listed in the embodiments is only one way among the execution orders of numerous steps and does not represent the only execution order. When the actual system or device product executes, it can be executed in the order of the method shown in the embodiments or the drawings, or executed in parallel.

[0068] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification, claims, and the above - mentioned drawings of the embodiments of this specification are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such used data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of this specification described here can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non - exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, device, product, or equipment that includes a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those clearly listed steps or units, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or equipment.

[0069] Referring to Figure 1 , the embodiments of this specification provide a method for discriminating the fault dip and lateral mutation points, including:

[0070] S101: Obtain multiple sets of different strata vertically offset by the same fault;

[0071] S102: Synthesize the seismic coherence attributes of each set of strata to obtain the comprehensive seismic coherence attribute of the fault;

[0072] S103: Obtain multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the lateral direction according to the comprehensive seismic coherence attribute of the fault;

[0073] S104: Determine the intersection of the multiple different fault dips as the lateral mutation point of the fault.

[0074] A fault is a structure where the crust is stressed and fractured, and significant relative displacement occurs between rock blocks on both sides of the fracture plane. The same fault may vertically offset multiple sets of different strata. Each set of strata has its formation era or age, and is a rock layer with unified characteristics and attributes, significantly different from the upper and lower layers. When obtaining multiple sets of different strata, there is no limit on the number of strata, but preferably select the strata with strong amplitude energy in the seismic data, as such strata are easier to contrast and trace.

[0075] Although there is no limit on the number of strata, it is preferred that the same fault vertically offsets three sets of different strata. The reason is as follows: If two sets of strata less than three sets of different strata are used, the upper and lower parts of the two sets of strata may be offset by different faults, and different faults may be misjudged as the same fault. Especially when the distance between the two sets of strata is large, this situation is more likely to occur. Having an additional reference layer in the middle can reduce this error. If more than three sets of different strata are used, the calculation efficiency decreases. Therefore, three sets of different strata have higher accuracy and better efficiency.

[0076] Seismic coherence attributes can be used to describe the discontinuity characteristics of seismic data, thereby effectively identifying faults. Based on the comprehensive seismic coherence attributes of the fault, multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the lateral direction can be obtained. The fault dips corresponding to the fault in the lateral direction can include multiple ones. For example, the fault dip first goes to the southeast, then to the northwest, and then to the southeast. Determine the intersection of the multiple different fault dips as the lateral mutation point of the fault. The lateral mutation point refers to the change point of the fault dip. For example, the fault dip first goes to the southeast, then to the northwest, and there is a lateral mutation point between the two dips of southeast and northwest. After passing through this lateral mutation point, the fault dip changes.

[0077] Through the method of the embodiments of this specification, based on the obtained comprehensive seismic coherence attributes of the fault, multiple different fault dips of the fault in the lateral direction can be obtained, and then the intersection of the multiple different fault dips can be determined as the lateral mutation point of the fault. Compared with the prior art methods of manually picking or automatically discriminating the fault dip for a single profile, it can more accurately judge the fault dip and its lateral mutation point, providing help for oil and gas exploration and development.

[0078] In the embodiments of this specification, referring to Figure 2 , obtaining the comprehensive seismic coherence attributes of the fault by comprehensively considering the seismic coherence attributes of multiple sets of strata further includes:

[0079] S201: Respectively obtain the seismic coherence attribute maps of multiple sets of strata according to the seismic coherence attribute values of multiple sets of strata;

[0080] S202: Superimpose the seismic coherence attribute maps of multiple sets of strata in a unified coordinate system to obtain the comprehensive seismic coherence attribute map of the fault.

[0081] Among them, through the prior art, the seismic coherence attribute maps of multiple sets of strata can be obtained respectively according to the seismic coherence attribute values of multiple sets of strata. Each set of strata has its corresponding seismic coherence attribute map. After superimposing the seismic coherence attribute maps of multiple sets of strata in a unified coordinate system, the comprehensive seismic coherence attribute map obtained contains multiple sets of strata. It should be noted that in order to prevent the multiple sets of strata from being indistinguishable after superimposition, the seismic coherence attribute maps of multiple sets of strata can be respectively marked with different colors. In this way, different strata can be distinguished by different colors in the superimposed comprehensive seismic coherence attribute map. Refer to Figure 8 It is the comprehensive coherence attribute map after superimposing the seismic coherence attribute maps of multiple sets of strata characterized by different colors. Among them, the multiple sets of strata are successively the three layers 1, 2, and 3 vertically. Light gray represents the lowest layer 3, gray represents the middle layer 2, and black represents the uppermost layer 1.

[0082] In the embodiments of this specification, refer to Figure 3 , obtaining multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the transverse direction according to the comprehensive seismic coherence attribute of the fault further includes:

[0083] S301: According to the comprehensive seismic coherence attribute map of the fault, obtain the different positional relationships between multiple sets of strata at different positions in the transverse direction of the fault;

[0084] S302: Synthesize the relative movement direction of both sides of the fault and the different positional relationships between the multiple sets of strata to determine multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the transverse direction.

[0085] There may be different positional relationships between multiple sets of strata at different positions in the transverse direction of the fault. For example, the multiple sets of strata are successively the three layers 1, 2, and 3 vertically. At position A in the transverse direction of the fault, there is a positional relationship between multiple sets of strata: layer 1 is above layer 2, and layer 2 is above layer 3; at position B in the transverse direction of the fault, there is a positional relationship between multiple sets of strata: layer 3 is above layer 2, and layer 2 is above layer 1.

[0086] The reason for the formation of the fault is that relative movement has occurred between both sides of the fault. By synthesizing the relative movement direction and the different positional relationships between multiple sets of strata, multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the transverse direction can be determined.

[0087] Specifically, refer to Figure 4, determining multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the lateral direction by synthesizing the relative movement directions of the two fault blocks and the different positional relationships between the multiple sets of strata further includes:

[0088] S401: Determine whether the fault is a normal fault or a reverse fault according to the relative movement directions of the two fault blocks of the fault;

[0089] S402: Based on the fact that the fault is a normal fault or a reverse fault, determine multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the lateral direction according to the positional relationships of the uppermost layer or the lowermost layer in the multiple sets of strata relative to other strata at different positions in the lateral direction of the fault.

[0090] Generally speaking, a fault with the hanging wall moving downward relatively and the footwall moving upward relatively is a normal fault, and a fault with the hanging wall moving upward relatively and the footwall moving downward relatively is a reverse fault.

[0091] Further, referring to Figure 5 , the determining multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the lateral direction based on the fact that the fault is a normal fault or a reverse fault and according to the positional relationships of the uppermost layer or the lowermost layer in the multiple sets of strata relative to other strata at different positions in the lateral direction of the fault further includes:

[0092] S501: If the fault is a reverse fault, determine multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the lateral direction according to the positional relationships of the lowermost layer in the multiple sets of strata relative to other strata at different positions in the lateral direction of the fault;

[0093] S502: If the fault is a normal fault, determine multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the lateral direction according to the positional relationships of the uppermost layer in the multiple sets of strata relative to other strata at different positions in the lateral direction of the fault.

[0094] Among them, the determining method for different positions in the lateral direction of the fault includes:

[0095] Select a position point at a set distance interval in the lateral direction of the fault to obtain multiple different positions in the lateral direction of the fault.

[0096] The function of the set distance is to judge whether the fault dip changes every set distance. If so, there is a corresponding lateral mutation point. Generally speaking, the shorter the set distance, the better for improving the recognition accuracy of the fault dip. However, if the set distance is too short, it will affect the calculation efficiency. Therefore, the average interval distance between two adjacent lateral mutation points of the known fault can be calculated, and this evaluation interval distance can be used as the set distance.

[0097] If the fault is a reverse fault, the multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the transverse direction are determined based on the positional relationship of the lowermost layer among multiple sets of strata at different positions in the transverse direction of the fault relative to other strata, where the lowermost layer refers to the stratum at the bottom in the vertical direction among multiple sets of strata, and other strata refer to the remaining strata among multiple sets of strata except the uppermost layer.

[0098] For example, if multiple sets of strata are successively layers 1, 2, and 3 in the vertical direction, where layer 3 is the lowermost layer, at position A in the transverse direction of the fault, there is a positional relationship among multiple sets of strata: layer 1 is above layer 2, and layer 2 is above layer 3. The positional relationship of layer 3 at position A relative to layer 1 and layer 2 is used to determine one fault dip corresponding to the fault in the transverse direction; at position B in the transverse direction of the fault, there is a positional relationship among multiple sets of strata: layer 3 is above layer 2, and layer 2 is above layer 1. The positional relationship of layer 3 at position B relative to layer 1 and layer 2 is used to determine another fault dip corresponding to the fault in the transverse direction.

[0099] The situation of a normal fault is similar to that of a reverse fault, and the embodiments of this specification will not elaborate on this.

[0100] Among them, the step of determining multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the transverse direction according to the positional relationship of the lowermost layer among multiple sets of strata at different positions in the transverse direction of the fault relative to other strata further includes:

[0101] The directions in which the lowermost layer among multiple sets of strata is away from other strata at different positions in the transverse direction of the fault are determined as the multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the transverse direction.

[0102] Continuing with the above example, the direction in which layer 3 is away from layer 1 and layer 2 at position A is used as one fault dip corresponding to the fault in the transverse direction, and the direction in which layer 3 is away from layer 1 and layer 2 at position B is used as one fault dip corresponding to the fault in the transverse direction.

[0103] Refer to Figure 9 For the multiple different fault dips corresponding to the reverse fault shown in the transverse direction, the light gray is the lowermost layer 3. The direction in which the light gray stratum is away from other strata is the fault dip, that is, Figure 9 the direction shown by the arrow in. There are two fault dips, and the intersection of the two different fault dips is the transverse mutation point of the fault, that is, the position point shown by the star symbol is the transverse mutation point.

[0104] Among them, the step of determining multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the transverse direction according to the positional relationship of the uppermost layer among multiple sets of strata at different positions in the transverse direction of the fault relative to other strata further includes:

[0105] The directions in which the uppermost layer among multiple sets of strata is away from other strata at different positions in the transverse direction of the fault are determined as the multiple different fault dips corresponding to the fault in the transverse direction.

[0106] The situation of normal faults is similar to that of reverse faults, and the embodiments of this specification will not elaborate on this.
