[0068] Embodiment

[0069] Step 1: Perform fluid substitution using curves such as the acoustic travel time curve, density curve, and mineral composition of existing well logging data, calculate the elastic parameters of the reservoir under different fluid filling conditions, and generate corresponding elastic curves; Figure 2For the comparison of the differences in the longitudinal and transverse wave velocities and density curves after different fluid replacements in the reservoir development section, the porosity curve is on the far right. The vertical axis of the attached figure represents the reservoir depth, and the horizontal axis indicates the dynamic range of each curve. It can be seen that the longitudinal wave velocity and density reach their maximum values when the reservoir contains water, and the difference in the transverse wave velocity is relatively small under different fluid fillings.

[0070] Step 2: Based on Step 1, select the target layer range of 5300 - 5800 m, conduct AVO forward modeling for the target layer range, and synthesize the gather records using the Zoeppritz equation according to the elastic curves. Figure 3 For the AVO gather forward modeling Figure 3 The left curves in the figure are the original longitudinal and transverse wave velocities, density, and the corresponding Poisson's ratio and impedance curves. The right sides are respectively the AVO forward angle gather, the synthetic record of vertical incidence, and the actual gather data of the well-side trace. The left vertical axis represents time, and the right indicates the depth of the target layer. The horizontal axis of each curve indicates the dynamic range of the curve. The horizontal axis of the AVO forward gather represents different incident angles, and the horizontal axis of the actual gather data represents the offset size.

[0071] Step 3: Based on Steps 1 and 2, generate the AVO forward angle gather data sets S of the water - CO 2 , water - natural gas, and water - oil two - phase fluid reservoir models and the reservoir model containing single - phase fluid under different water saturation conditions. Figure 4 For the AVO forward angle gather of different fluids under different saturations, the vertical axis of the AVO forward angle gather is time, the horizontal axis is the incident angle, the angle range is 0 - 45 degrees, the angle interval is 5, the water saturation range is 10% - 90%, and the interval is 10%.

[0072] Step 4: According to the angle gather data set S generated in Step 3, extract the data at 5°, 20°, and 35° respectively, arrange them in a certain order to form near, middle, and far trace gathers, and calculate the longitudinal wave dispersion gradient to obtain the dispersion gradient data D under different reservoir fluid conditions. Figure 5 For the longitudinal wave dispersion gradient response of the reservoir filled with fluids of different saturations, the horizontal axis is the water saturation of 10% - 90%, and the color indicates the dispersion gradient value.

[0073] Step 5: Based on the dispersion gradient data D calculated in Step 4, pick the horizon I at the top of the main reservoir section, and then extract the dispersion gradient value V of horizon I, as Figure 6 shown Figure 6 For the picking profile of the longitudinal wave dispersion gradient response data of the reservoir, the upper vertical axis represents time, the horizontal axis represents water saturation, the waveform amplitude indicates the longitudinal wave dispersion gradient value, and the lower part shows the picking gradient result of the target layer, showing the characteristic that the dispersion gradient gradually weakens with the increase of water saturation.

[0074] Step 6: Based on the dispersion gradient value V obtained in Step 5, generate trend curves for the water saturation of different fluids (such as natural gas, oil, CO 2 ), and perform unified standardization processing to obtain the regional fluid template M, as Figure 7 shown, Figure 7 The vertical axis indicates the normalized gradient value of different fluid dispersions, the horizontal axis indicates the fluid water saturation, and the curve represents the longitudinal wave dispersion gradient value of different fluids under different water saturation conditions.

[0075] Step 7: Based on the regional fluid template M, perform dispersion gradient attribute calculation on the actual seismic data to obtain the longitudinal wave dispersion gradient volume P, as Figure 8 shown, Figure 8 Showing the longitudinal wave dispersion gradient profile, the vertical axis represents time, and the horizontal axis indicates the gradient attribute trace; the black dashed line in the figure represents the top surface T of the target reservoir, the bright color represents the high value of the dispersion gradient, and the gray color represents the relatively low value of the dispersion gradient. The profile shows the lateral variation of the longitudinal wave dispersion gradient caused by fluid differences.

[0076] Step 8: According to the reservoir thickness, open a corresponding time window downward along the longitudinal wave dispersion gradient volume P to calculate the average value of the dispersion gradient attribute, and obtain the gradient plan view, as Figure 9 shown. According to the regional fluid template M obtained in Step 6, combined with the structural drilling situation, after normalization, it shows that the middle part of the structure is a high-dispersion gradient CO 2 fluid, and the bright-colored annular fluid in the wing is predicted to be an oil-water mixed fluid.

[0077] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
