Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of seismic exploration, and particularly relates to an adaptive time window calculation method and device for offset attributes. Background Art

[0002] Seismic data contains a large amount of relevant formation information. How to accurately extract various information in seismic data and obtain relevant reservoir information through seismic attribute analysis is one of the key research points for geological personnel at present.

[0003] In reservoir prediction, to find seismic attributes related to reservoir characteristics, it is first necessary to ensure that the seismic attributes come from the target geological body, so the selection of the time window is very crucial. If the selected time window is too small, on the one hand, the geological target will be outside the extraction range, and on the other hand, the too-small time window will affect the effectiveness of some parameters; while if the selected time window is too large, the characteristics of the geological target will be abnormally submerged in other background anomalies.

[0004] In recent years, various method technologies have been developed for the identification and description of complex oil and gas reservoirs. Many attribute calculation technologies are carried out using post-stack seismic data, including conventional amplitude attributes and complex post-stack attribute technologies such as edge detection, eigen coherence, curvature, and ant body; when calculating using these post-stack attributes, the optimal selection of the time window can often be predicted because the main frequency range of a single post-stack data volume is fixed. For the pre-stack offset gather stacked body, since the frequency of the gather decreases as the offset increases, that is, the event axis becomes fatter, the frequency band ranges of different offsets are different. For example, the main frequency range of the near offset is often higher than that of the far offset.

[0005] Based on this technical background, the present invention studies an adaptive time window calculation method and device for offset attributes. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an adaptive time window calculation method and device for offset attributes. This method fully excavates the offset information in pre-stack seismic data, and realizes the effective characterization of complex geological anomalies such as faults - fractures and channels by calculating the time windows of multiple offset stacked bodies obtained by stacking pre-stack seismic gathers at all sampling points.

[0016] The fourth aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the adaptive time window calculation method for offset attributes described in the first aspect.

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein.

[0029] The present invention proposes an adaptive time window calculation method for offset attributes, as Figure 1 shown, including:

[0030] Stacking the pre-stack seismic trace gathers by different offsets respectively to obtain multiple offset stacks;

[0031] Calculating the time windows of each offset stack at all sampling points.

[0032] The method in the present invention fully exploits the offset information in the pre-stack seismic data, and realizes the effective characterization of complex geological anomalies such as faults-fractures and channels by calculating the time windows of multiple offset stacks obtained by stacking the pre-stack seismic trace gathers at all sampling points.

[0033] According to the present invention, calculating the time windows of each offset stack at all sampling points includes:

[0034] Setting the time window of the medium offset stack or the near-medium offset stack at a certain sampling point;

[0035] Calculating the wavelength of each offset stack at this sampling point;

[0036] The time window of the remaining offset stacks at this sampling point is calculated based on the time window and the wavelengths of each offset stack.

[0037] Calculate the time windows of each offset stack at the remaining sampling points in a loop.

[0038] When the number of offset stacks is odd, set the time window of the middle offset stack at a certain sampling point.

[0039] When the number of offset stacks is even, set the time window of any near-middle offset stack at a certain sampling point.

[0040] According to the present invention, calculating the wavelength of each offset stack at this sampling point includes:

[0041] Perform spectral analysis calculation within the time window of each offset stack at this sampling point to obtain the maximum effective main frequency of each data volume.

[0042] Based on the well-side trace seismic data at this sampling point, obtain the time-depth relationship, or use the existing time-depth relationship to calculate the seismic velocity of each offset stack at this sampling point.

[0043] Calculate the wavelength of each offset stack at this sampling point based on the maximum effective main frequency and the seismic velocity.

[0044] In the present invention, by performing spectral analysis calculation within the time window of each offset stack at a certain sampling point to obtain the maximum effective main frequency of each data volume, and calculating the wavelength of each offset stack at this sampling point based on the maximum effective main frequency and the seismic velocity, the accuracy of time window calculation is greatly guaranteed.

[0045] Preferably, the time windows of each offset stack at all sampling points are subjected to rounding operations.

[0046] According to the present invention, if the values of the time windows of each offset stack after rounding operations at a certain sampling point are close or equal, reduce or increase one sampling point near the sampling point in the order from near to far offset distance.

[0047] Preferably, multiple offset stacks form a three-dimensional data volume;

[0048] The three-dimensional data volume includes multiple main survey lines, multiple connecting survey lines, and multiple seismic traces;

[0049] Multiple sampling points are provided on each seismic trace.

[0050] Preferably , The number of sampling points on the three-dimensional data volume is the product of the numbers of the main survey lines, the connecting survey lines, and the seismic traces.

[0051] In the present invention, by making the time windows of the time-window 3D data volume of the medium-offset stack or the near-medium-offset stack consistent, the time windows of each offset stack at all sampling points are calculated cyclically, avoiding the problem of inaccurate time-window calculation in the prior art.

[0052] The present invention will be described in more detail below through embodiments.

[0053] Embodiment 1:

[0054] This embodiment presents a specific implementation process of an adaptive time-window calculation method for offset attributes, including the following steps:

[0055] 1) Form three offset stacks:

[0056] Stack the offset gather from 0 m to 1800 m, denoted as the near-offset stack;

[0057] Stack the offset gather from 1801 m to 3600 m, denoted as the medium-offset stack;

[0058] Stack the gather from 3601 m to 5400 m, denoted as the far-offset stack;

[0059] 2) Select the time window at a certain sampling point time of the medium-offset stack as Tmid:

[0060] Since the frequency band range of the medium offset is consistent with that of the 3D data volume, the time window for attribute calculation at this sampling point based on the medium offset can also be denoted as Twin;

[0061] 3) Calculate the maximum effective main frequencies at the sampling point time for different offset volumes as Fnear, Fmid, and Far:

[0062] Conduct spectral analysis within the calculation time window Twin at the sampling point time for the three data volumes respectively, and calculate the maximum effective main frequencies within the main frequency band range of the three data volumes as Fnear, Fmid, and Far;

[0063] 4) Calculate the values of λnear, λmid, and λfar at this sampling point time:

[0064] Select the well-side trace seismic data at this sampling point and conduct time-depth calibration to obtain the seismic velocity Vtime at the sampling point time;

[0065] Using the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and velocity, λ = V * f, the values of λnear, λmid, and λfar at this sampling point time can be calculated;

[0066] 5) Calculate the values of Tnear and Tfar, which are the results calculated by the wavelength method:

[0067] For pre-stack seismic gathers, as the offset increases, the frequency becomes lower and lower. Therefore, for the near, mid, and far offset stacking volumes, the relationship of their dominant frequencies is that the frequency of the near offset is the highest, the frequency of the far offset is the lowest, and the frequency of the mid offset is between the far and near offset stacking volumes;

[0068] Therefore, the optimal solution of directly obtaining Tnear by the proportional method is: Tnear / Twin = λnear / λmid; Tfar / Twin = λfarr / λmid;

[0069] Since seismic sampling is sparse, it is necessary to round the calculated values of Tnear and Tfar, that is, Tnear = INT(Tnear), Tfar = INT(Tfar);

[0070] In some cases, if the values of INT(Tnear) and Twin, INT(Tfar) are close or equal, one sampling point is reduced or one sampling point is increased according to the method of INT(Tnear) < Twin < INT(Tfar);

[0071] 6) Loop calculation for the entire 3D data volume:

[0072] For the entire 3D data volume, there are Lnum main survey lines, Xnum tie lines in total, and Npoint sampling points on a single seismic trace. Conducting loop calculation along the entire 3D data volume, a total of (Lnum multiplied by num multiplied by Npoint) points need to be calculated.

[0073] Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 are respectively the schematic diagrams of the layer-by-layer attribute effects of the near, mid, and far offsets obtained by the adaptive time window calculation method for offset attributes in this embodiment. Among them, the near, mid, and far offset time windows are 10ms, 14ms, and 18ms respectively.

[0074] In this embodiment, the number of offset stacking volumes is 3. In some areas where AVO changes are relatively drastic, it can also be divided into near, near-middle, mid, mid-far, far, and far-far offset stacking volumes according to the size of the offset. Figure 2 Shows the schematic diagram of the cross-section of four offset stacking volumes in a certain seismic work area.
