Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of data fusion and processing, and particularly relates to a multi-source data fusion analysis method and analysis system for geological exploration. Background Art
[0002] Geological exploration is an indispensable link in resource development, environmental monitoring and engineering construction, and the accurate prediction of underground geological parameters directly affects the reliability and economy of exploration. In traditional geological exploration technologies, the acquisition of geological parameters usually relies on limited drilling data, logging data and geophysical exploration data, and is estimated at unknown points through interpolation methods. However, due to the heterogeneity and multi-scale coupling effects of underground reservoirs, the analysis methods based on a single data source often cannot comprehensively reflect the formation characteristics, resulting in limited prediction accuracy. Therefore, in recent years, multi-source data fusion has become an important research direction in the field of geological exploration, and higher-precision prediction of geological parameters is achieved by integrating multiple geophysical measurement parameters. However, there are still certain limitations in the existing technologies in aspects such as data fusion, variogram construction, covariance matrix calculation and interpolation prediction, resulting in limited applicability under complex reservoir conditions.
[0003] Traditional geological parameter interpolation methods mainly include inverse distance weighted interpolation (IDW), Kriging interpolation, geostatistical modeling (such as sequential Gaussian simulation, SGS), etc. These methods are all based on certain spatial variability assumptions and predict unknown points through statistical methods. For example, the Kriging interpolation method uses the variogram to calculate the spatial correlation of points at different positions, and thus assigns different weights in the interpolation process to make the predicted value optimal in a statistical sense. However, traditional Kriging interpolation usually only relies on a single parameter (such as porosity or permeability) for calculation and fails to fully utilize the multiple parameter information in logging data. In addition, in reservoirs with complex geological environments and significant heterogeneity, the prediction accuracy of the Kriging interpolation method is often limited and it is difficult to capture the characteristics of complex reservoirs.
[0004] In recent years, with the development of computer technology, machine learning and artificial intelligence methods have gradually been applied to geological parameter prediction. For example, methods such as support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and deep learning (such as convolutional neural network CNN, long short-term memory network LSTM) are used to build geological parameter prediction models. Compared with traditional methods, machine learning methods can extract features using a large amount of data and establish complex non-linear mapping relationships. However, the prediction accuracy of machine learning methods usually depends on a large amount of high-quality training data, and in actual geological exploration, it is often costly to obtain large-scale labeled data. In addition, the interpretability of machine learning models is poor, making it difficult to combine their prediction results with geological theories, thus affecting their practical applications in geological modeling. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the main object of the present invention is to provide a multi-source data fusion analysis method and analysis system for geological exploration, which improves the accuracy of geological parameter prediction, effectively addresses the heterogeneity of reservoirs, enhances the stability and physical rationality of interpolation calculations, and improves the applicability in complex geological environments, and is widely applicable to fields such as oil and gas exploration, geothermal resource evaluation, and formation stability analysis.

[0033] A multi-source data fusion analysis system for geological exploration, the system comprising: a data acquisition part for setting a plurality of detection points in the shallow part of a target geological exploration area, marking a plurality of unknown points in the deep part of the target geological exploration area, calibrating the position parameters of each detection point; collecting multi-source geological data of each detection point; a variogram construction part for performing data fusion on the multi-source geological data of each detection point to construct a variogram describing the spatial correlation of geological parameters in the target geological exploration area; a composite covariance construction part for constructing a multi-source composite covariance matrix of all detection points in combination with the variogram according to the position parameters of each detection point; each element in the multi-source composite covariance matrix being the multi-source composite covariance between different detection points; an unknown point data prediction part for predicting the multi-source geological parameters of the unknown points according to the multi-source composite covariance matrix.
[0034] Adopting the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: Traditional geological parameter prediction methods usually rely on a single variable (such as porosity or permeability) for interpolation. However, the present invention constructs a more complete geological parameter prediction system by introducing multiple logging parameters, such as brittleness index, natural gamma value, shale index, true resistivity, natural gas relative density, etc. Since the geological properties of the formation are usually affected by multiple physical factors, it is difficult to accurately describe the spatial variation of the underground reservoir relying solely on a single variable. The multi-source data fusion method of the present invention incorporates the coupling relationship between different physical logging parameters into the prediction model by constructing a multi-source composite covariance matrix, enabling the final predicted value to comprehensively consider the lithology, permeability, and fluid distribution characteristics of the reservoir, thereby improving the prediction accuracy. The underground geological environment is highly heterogeneous. Especially in fault zones, fracture-developed areas, or multi-phase reservoirs, the spatial distribution of geological parameters often has complex variation laws. The traditional Kriging interpolation method mainly relies on calculating the correlation based on spatial distance, but it cannot accurately describe the heterogeneous variation of the reservoir. When constructing the variogram, the present invention adopts a new parametric formula that not only considers the variation of geological parameters in the horizontal and vertical directions but also combines the ratio relationships of multiple variables such as rock density, effective pressure, porosity, permeability, and water saturation, thereby being able to more accurately depict the spatial variability of the reservoir. In addition, by introducing an exponential decay model of the nugget effect into the variogram, the present invention can more effectively suppress the influence of local abnormal data, enabling the prediction model to maintain high stability in the face of complex geological conditions and large measurement errors. Traditional interpolation methods usually adopt a fixed spatial weight allocation method. However, the present invention constructs an interpolation weight calculation model based on the multi-source composite covariance matrix, making the weight not only dependent on the spatial distance but also capable of dynamically optimizing in combination with geomechanical parameters, logging data characteristics, and reservoir properties. In the interpolation weight calculation formula of the present invention, in addition to the traditional covariance matrix calculation, a ground stress adjustment coefficient is additionally introduced, enabling the prediction model to adaptively adjust the weight distribution in a complex stress environment. For example, in high-stress areas, the pore structure and permeability characteristics of the rock may be significantly affected by stress. The method of the present invention can correct the correlation between different detection points through the ground stress adjustment coefficient, resulting in higher interpolation prediction accuracy. In addition, a depth correction factor is introduced during the weight calculation process of the present invention, which can dynamically adjust the influence degree of different detection points during the prediction process, making the interpolation model more accurate when predicting deep reservoirs.

[0037] All the features disclosed in this specification, or all the steps in any disclosed method or process, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any manner.
[0038] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any additional claims, abstract) can be replaced by other equivalent or similar-purpose alternative features unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is only an example of a series of equivalent or similar features.
[0039] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 , a multi-source data fusion analysis method for geological exploration, the method includes:
[0040] Step 1: Set a plurality of detection points in the shallow part of the target geological exploration area, mark a plurality of unknown points in the deep part of the target geological exploration area, and calibrate the position parameters of each detection point; collect multi-source geological data of each detection point;
[0041] The shallow part generally refers to the area near the surface or the relatively shallow area underground. The strata in this part are relatively easy to directly observe and collect data through traditional geophysical methods (such as surface measurement, shallow drilling or seismic exploration). The depth range of the shallow part does not have a fixed value, but is divided according to the specific exploration object. For example, in oil and gas exploration, the shallow part may refer to the strata within the range of 0 - 500 meters, while in groundwater exploration or environmental geological survey, the shallow part may only involve the range of 0 - 50 meters. The main purpose of arranging detection points in the shallow part is to obtain basic data such as surface lithology, structural form, and preliminary physical properties, and provide constraints for deep speculation through this information. Since the geological information in the shallow part is relatively easy to obtain, in the method of the present invention, the density of detection points in this part is usually relatively high to ensure a relatively complete distribution of geological parameters.
[0042] The deep part refers to the deeper underground area, usually beyond the direct detection range of traditional surface measurement methods, and relies on geophysical inversion or drilling measurement for analysis. It is usually difficult and costly to obtain geological parameters in the deep part. Therefore, a large number of detection points cannot be arranged like in the shallow part, but rely on a small amount of known drilling data and methods such as geophysical logging and seismic inversion for estimation. For example, in oil and gas exploration, the deep part may refer to the underground reservoir at a depth of 500 meters to several kilometers, while in geothermal resource exploration, the deep part may refer to the high-temperature geothermal reservoir area above 1000 meters. Instead of directly setting a large number of detection points in the deep part, the method of the present invention uses the marking method of unknown points, that is, multiple underground target points to be predicted are set in the modeling stage, and through the method of multi-source data fusion, combined with the known information in the shallow part, mathematical modeling and interpolation prediction techniques are used to infer the geological parameters of these unknown points.
[0043] Setting multiple detection points in the shallow part and at the same time marking multiple unknown points in the deep part to form a spatial distribution system that contains both known information and covers unknown areas is the basis for achieving high-precision prediction. In traditional geological exploration methods, usually a single data source is used for analysis. For example, the properties of underground media are inferred through density measurement or acoustic logging data. However, this method often has large errors when encountering areas with complex geological layers and drastic lithological changes, and it is difficult to comprehensively reflect the multi-scale characteristics of geological bodies. The present invention introduces a multi-source data acquisition strategy, enabling the detection points to cover different geophysical and geological parameters, including key geological parameters such as rock density, solid particle density, porosity, permeability, water saturation, total organic carbon content, thermal conductivity, Young's modulus, fracture density, and effective pressure. These parameters each have unique physical meanings when describing the underground structure. For example, permeability reflects the ability of fluid flow inside the rock, while Young's modulus determines the mechanical response of the rock. The combination of the two can more accurately characterize the mechanical behavior of the reservoir. Therefore, the method of the present invention lays the foundation for multi-parameter fusion at the data acquisition stage to avoid the limitations of single-parameter prediction.
[0044] In the calibration process of the detection point position parameters, the present invention fully considers the uniformity of spatial distribution and the geological characteristics of exploration targets. Traditional methods may use regular grids to arrange detection points. However, the actual distribution of geological bodies is often highly heterogeneous. Therefore, simple grid arrangement may lead to problems of mismatched sampling density. For example, in areas with developed fractures or regions with drastic reservoir changes, if the detection points are too sparsely distributed, key geological features may be missed, thus affecting the prediction accuracy. To solve this problem, the present invention adopts a method for arranging detection points optimized based on geological information. In the shallow part, the distribution of detection points should ensure coverage of the main stratigraphic interfaces and lithologic transition zones. In the deep part, the marking of unknown points is optimized based on existing exploration data, so that the unknown points can be evenly distributed within the inferred key strata, rather than randomly or regularly distributed. In addition, to further improve data quality, the present invention considers the dynamic change characteristics of geological parameters during data acquisition. For example, in permeability measurement, the flow state of underground fluids will affect the measured values. Therefore, time series analysis needs to be combined during data collection to eliminate the influence of short-term disturbances, so that the finally obtained data can truly reflect the static characteristics of underground media.
[0045] Step 2: Perform data fusion on the multi-source geological data of each detection point to construct a variogram that describes the spatial correlation of geological parameters in the geological exploration area;
[0046] Specifically, in the implementation process of the present invention, the fusion of multi-source data is not just a simple averaging or linear weighting of different physical quantities, but a coupled modeling based on the physical relevance between different geological parameters. For example, permeability, porosity, and water saturation are closely related when describing the fluid migration ability of reservoirs, and Young's modulus, fracture density, and effective pressure determine the mechanical stability of rocks. Therefore, when constructing the variogram, the coupling effect between these parameters needs to be fully considered to ensure that the variogram after data fusion can accurately reflect the true change trend of geological parameters in space. Compared with traditional methods that only consider the variability of a single geological parameter, the method of the present invention adopts a multi-level variable association modeling strategy, that is, in the construction process of the variogram, the ratio, interaction term, and non-linear transformation of different parameters are used to describe the mutual influence between multi-source data, so that the final variogram can not only describe the geometric distance relationship between detection points, but also reflect the physical relevance of geological parameters at different spatial scales.
[0047] In addition, during the geological exploration process, the nugget effect is a key factor affecting the accuracy of the variogram. The nugget effect refers to the anomaly of geological parameters caused by the drastic changes in the local geological environment or measurement errors within a small scale range. Such abnormal values may affect the stability of the overall variogram, thereby reducing the accuracy of subsequent interpolation predictions. The method of the present invention adaptively models the nugget effect, enabling the variogram to automatically adjust the correlation strength between different detection points, thus reducing the impact of local anomalies on the overall model. On this basis, the method of the present invention further optimizes the spatial scale parameters of the variogram, enabling the variogram to dynamically adjust its scope of action under different geological environments, thereby ensuring a high prediction accuracy under complex geological conditions.
[0048] More importantly, the spatial variation of geological parameters is usually affected by various environmental factors. For example, depth, temperature, pressure, etc. can all change the physical properties of rocks. Therefore, in the construction process of the variogram, the method of the present invention not only considers the horizontal and vertical distance relationships between detection points, but also introduces a correction factor related to the geological environment, enabling the variogram to adaptively adjust its parameters under different geological environments. The innovation of this method lies in that it does not rely on a fixed mathematical model, but optimizes the parameters according to the specific geological conditions of the detection points, enabling the variogram to more accurately reflect the true variation law of the geological body. This method for constructing a variogram based on data adaptive optimization makes the present invention significantly superior to traditional methods in terms of the prediction accuracy of geological parameters. Especially in complex geological environments, such as fracture-developed areas, fault zones, or high-temperature and high-pressure reservoirs, this method can effectively improve the accuracy of data interpolation and reduce the errors caused by the heterogeneity of the geological environment.
[0049] Step 3: According to the position parameters of each detection point, construct a multi-source composite covariance matrix for all detection points in combination with the variogram; each element in the multi-source composite covariance matrix is the multi-source composite covariance between different detection points;
[0050] In specific implementation, the present invention first calculates the variation degree of geological parameters between different detection points by using the variogram, and then derives the spatial covariance between the detection points. The role of the variogram is to quantify the spatial autocorrelation of geological parameters, while the covariance matrix further establishes the numerical correlation between the detection points, enabling the mathematical description of the spatial data dependence relationship. Different from the traditional method, the covariance matrix of the present invention is not a simple Euclidean distance weight distribution, but constructs matrix elements in a multi-physical parameter coupling manner by combining the influences of multiple geological parameters such as in-situ stress, porosity, permeability, and thermal conductivity, so as to ensure the physical rationality of the covariance matrix. For example, in high-stress areas, due to the possible changes in the mechanical properties of rocks, the traditional covariance matrix may not accurately describe the true spatial correlation of geological parameters. However, the method of the present invention corrects the correlation calculation between different detection points by introducing parameters such as rock elastic modulus, in-situ stress adjustment factor, and pore fluid pressure, enabling the covariance matrix to adapt to the changes in complex geological environments.
[0051] In the process of constructing the covariance matrix by the method of the present invention, the anisotropic characteristics of the geological body are also fully considered. The geological body is not a homogeneous medium, but an anisotropic structure with directional differences. For example, sedimentary rock reservoirs often have different permeability distributions in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the fracture directions in the fracture zone area also affect the spatial correlation of geological parameters. Therefore, in the method of the present invention, the calculation of the covariance matrix is not only based on the horizontal and vertical distances, but also combines the directional changes of geological parameters. For example, by introducing a directional adjustment factor, the covariance calculation can dynamically adapt to the changes in geological characteristics in different directions. The advantage of this method is that it avoids the errors of the traditional covariance matrix under the isotropic assumption, enabling a relatively high prediction accuracy to be maintained under complex geological conditions.
[0052] In addition, during the calculation process of the covariance matrix, the uncertainty of geological data is also an important issue. In the actual geological exploration process, the data of detection points may be affected by factors such as measurement errors, environmental noise, and data scarcity, resulting in a decrease in the stability of the covariance matrix. To overcome this problem, the method of the present invention combines geostatistical methods and introduces a measurement error adjustment factor and a data weight correction strategy during the calculation of the covariance matrix, enabling the covariance matrix to still maintain strong robustness under high data uncertainty. For example, during the data acquisition process, the data of some detection points may be affected by external interference, and their covariance calculation weights will be automatically reduced, thereby reducing the impact of error propagation on the overall covariance matrix. This adaptive data correction mechanism enables the covariance matrix to still provide a reliable prediction basis in complex geological environments.
[0053] It should be noted that the multi-source composite covariance matrix of the present invention is not only applicable to the calculation of the correlation between known detection points, but also provides key data support for the prediction of subsequent unknown points. After constructing the covariance matrix, this matrix is used to deduce the geological parameters of unknown points, so that the estimated values of unknown points can conform to the data distribution of known detection points to the greatest extent. Traditional interpolation methods usually rely on simple weight allocation, while the method of the present invention uses the covariance matrix to construct an optimal estimation model, so that the predicted values of unknown points are not only affected by spatial distance, but also restricted by the coupling effect between multi-source data, thereby improving the prediction accuracy. For example, in the prediction of permeability, traditional methods may only perform interpolation based on spatial distance, while the method of the present invention incorporates parameters such as rock porosity, fracture density, and fluid pressure into the calculation through the covariance matrix, making the prediction results more in line with the actual geological situation.
[0054] Step 4: Predict the multi-source geological parameters of unknown points according to the multi-source composite covariance matrix.
[0055] During the prediction process, the method of the present invention first uses the multi-source composite covariance matrix to establish the correlation weight between the detection points and the unknown points. This weight is not only based on the calculation of geometric spatial distance, but through the optimization of the variogram, so that the distribution of the weight can reflect the true spatial variability of geological parameters. For example, in the fracture development area, since the physical properties of the rock are closely related to the pore structure, traditional interpolation methods may only consider the horizontal distance for weight calculation, while the method of the present invention further combines multiple parameters such as elastic modulus, shear modulus, porosity, and permeability through the composite covariance matrix, making the weight allocation more in line with the true change trend of the geological structure. This weight calculation method based on the coupling of geological parameters enables the prediction results to more accurately describe the geological attributes of unknown points and avoids the problem of error accumulation caused by single-parameter interpolation in traditional methods.
[0056] When calculating the geological parameters of unknown points, the method of the present invention not only utilizes the data of known detection points, but also combines anisotropic adjustment, in-situ stress correction, and well logging data constraints, so that the final predicted value not only considers spatial correlation, but is also constrained by multiple physical fields. For example, in high-stress areas, due to the deformation behavior of rocks, the geological parameters may undergo non-linear changes. Therefore, the traditional method relying solely on distance weighting may not accurately predict the formation permeability or porosity. The method of the present invention introduces a stress adjustment factor through the optimization of the covariance matrix, enabling the prediction model to dynamically adapt to parameter changes under different geological environments, thereby maintaining a high prediction accuracy under complex geological conditions. In addition, during the prediction process, the method of the present invention further utilizes well logging data, such as natural gamma, acoustic travel time, resistivity and other parameters, as additional correction factors, so that the prediction results can be more reliably corrected in areas with lithological mutations. This prediction method combining well logging data enables the method of the present invention to still provide high-precision geological parameter estimation under the condition of limited drilling data, effectively improving the stability and reliability of the prediction.
[0057] In the specific calculation process, the method of the present invention adopts the Kriging interpolation optimization algorithm, making the predicted value not only conform to the optimal estimation criterion, but also ensuring the minimization of the prediction error. Although the traditional Kriging interpolation method can provide a good spatial interpolation effect, it is often difficult to capture the detailed changes in complex geological environments in the case of highly heterogeneous geological parameters. The method of the present invention makes the weight distribution of Kriging interpolation more reasonable by optimizing the calculation process of the covariance matrix and combining the dynamic adaptive adjustment of geological parameters, avoiding the problem of decreased prediction accuracy in data-sparse areas in the traditional method. For example, in the fault zone area, the mechanical properties of rocks may change abruptly, resulting in a large error in the interpolation method of a single physical quantity. The method of the present invention introduces parameters such as fracture density, elastic modulus, and stress state into the Kriging interpolation process through multi-source data fusion, enabling the prediction results to more accurately describe the geological characteristics of the fault zone.
[0058] In addition, to ensure the stability of the prediction results, the method of the present invention also introduces a data constraint optimization mechanism, that is, when calculating the geological parameters of unknown points, in addition to the weight distribution provided by the covariance matrix, the physical boundary conditions of the geological parameters are also considered. For example, in reservoir permeability prediction, if the predicted value in a certain area exceeds the reasonable physical range (such as far exceeding the maximum permeability of known detection points), the method of the present invention will automatically adjust the weight distribution and use other relevant parameters, such as porosity, total organic carbon content, etc., for correction, so as to ensure the rationality of the prediction results. This optimization mechanism based on physical constraints enables the method of the present invention to not only provide high-precision prediction results when the data is sufficient, but also maintain good prediction stability when the data is relatively scarce or the geological conditions are relatively complex, avoiding abnormal prediction situations caused by local data insufficiency.
[0059] Example 2: The multi-source geological parameters include: rock density , in g / cm³; solid particle density , in g / cm³; porosity ; horizontal permeability , in mD; water saturation ; total organic carbon content ; thermal conductivity , in W / m·K; rock Young's modulus , in GPa; fracture density , in fractures / m; effective pressure , in MPa; where represents the subscript index of the detection point or unknown point, taking positive integer values, representing the th detection point or unknown point, can be replaced by any subscript index letter, including: , or .
[0060] Specifically, rock density , as a basic physical quantity describing the overall mass characteristics of the rock, is the basis for calculating parameters such as rock porosity, permeability, and thermal conductivity. The change in rock density often reflects the change in formation composition. For example, in carbonate rock reservoirs, the change in density may be affected by dolomitization or dissolution, while in sandstone reservoirs, it may be affected by cementation degree and mineral composition changes. Therefore, in geological exploration, rock density is not only used to judge the formation lithology, but also can be an important parameter for well logging data interpretation and reservoir modeling. In contrast, solid particle density characterizes the density of the rock matrix without including the influence of pore space. Usually, the ratio of rock density to solid particle density can be used to calculate porosity , which describes the proportion of the space available for fluid storage inside the rock.
[0061] Porosity is one of the key parameters determining reservoir quality, and it directly affects the fluid storage capacity and seepage capacity. During the process of multi-source data fusion, porosity is not only used to calculate the reserves of the reservoir, but also one of the core variables in the calculation of variograms. Since the spatial variation of porosity is usually closely related to sedimentary environment, diagenesis and fracture development degree, when constructing the multi-source composite covariance matrix, the method of the present invention fully considers the influence of porosity on the spatial variability of geological parameters, and through the collaborative analysis with parameters such as permeability and water saturation, optimizes the calculation accuracy of data fusion. Horizontal permeability further describes the fluid flow capacity of the reservoir. Its magnitude is not only related to porosity, but also affected by pore structure, pore-throat connectivity and rock microstructure. The spatial distribution of permeability often has strong anisotropic characteristics. Therefore, during the calculation process of the variogram of the present invention, permeability acts together with parameters such as stress and fracture density to more realistically depict the fluid migration law of the reservoir.
[0062] Water saturation As an important indicator of reservoir fluid distribution, it characterizes the proportion of water in the fluid in the pore space of the reservoir. The change of water saturation is usually affected by reservoir pressure, lithology and geological evolution process. During geological exploration, it not only affects the judgment of fluid characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs, but also is one of the key parameters for well logging data interpretation. In the process of data fusion of the method of the present invention, water saturation is analyzed collaboratively with parameters such as permeability, porosity and effective pressure, so as to improve the sensitivity of the prediction model to reservoir fluid distribution.
[0063] Total organic carbon content is mainly used to characterize the abundance of source rocks in shale gas reservoirs or reservoirs rich in organic matter. As an important indicator for shale gas exploration, the TOC content determines the hydrocarbon generation potential of the rock and affects the adsorbed gas content of the reservoir. In the process of multi-source data fusion of the method of the present invention, TOC is used as an important variable to describe the physical and chemical properties of the formation, and combined with thermal conductivity for comprehensive analysis. Thermal conductivity is an important factor affecting the distribution of formation temperature field. Especially in geothermal resource exploration or deep oil and gas exploration, the change of thermal conductivity can affect the formation temperature gradient, and further affect the fluid physical properties and pressure distribution of the reservoir. During the construction process of the variogram of the present invention, thermal conductivity acts together with parameters such as rock density and effective pressure to optimize the prediction accuracy of the reservoir temperature field.
[0064] Rock Young's modulus As an important parameter of rock mechanical properties, it determines the elastic stress response ability of rocks. The magnitude of Young's modulus is closely related to the composition, pore structure, and fracture development degree of rocks. During the calculation process of the covariance matrix in the present invention, Young's modulus and fracture density act together to optimize the description of the mechanical stability of the reservoir. Fracture density directly affects the seepage ability and stress distribution of the reservoir. Its role in the multi-source data fusion process is not limited to describing the fluid migration ability of the reservoir, but also used to optimize the anisotropy calculation of the covariance matrix, enabling the prediction model to more accurately describe the structural changes of the reservoir.
[0065] Effective pressure As the core variable affecting the physical and chemical processes of the reservoir, it determines the pore compressibility, permeability change, and fracture closure state of the rock. In the multi-source data fusion process, the method of the present invention utilizes the coupling relationship between effective pressure and permeability, porosity, and stress state to optimize the accuracy of the reservoir parameter prediction model. Compared with the traditional single-parameter interpolation method, the method of the present invention enables a significant improvement in the prediction accuracy of geological parameters through the collaborative calculation of multiple physical parameters and can maintain strong adaptability in complex geological environments.
[0066] Example 3: The formula of the variogram is:
[0067] ;
[0068] where and both represent the subscript indices of the detection points, taking positive integer values, representing the th detection point or the th detection point respectively; represents the variation value between the th detection point and the th detection point; represents the nugget effect value of the th detection point; represents the nugget effect value of the th detection point; represents the vertical distance difference between the th detection point and the th detection point; represents the horizontal distance difference between the th detection point and the th detection point.
[0069] Specifically, in the formula is used to describe the th detection point and the The variation values between detection points, thus providing a basis for the subsequent calculation of the multi-source composite covariance matrix. Here, and respectively represent the nugget effect values of the -th detection point and the -th detection point. These nugget effect values play a crucial role in geological exploration because geological parameters may be affected by local anomalies, measurement accuracy, or high-frequency perturbations caused by geological structures at extremely small scales, thus manifesting as an additional constant term that cannot be ignored in the variogram. By explicitly introducing and in the variogram, these local effects can be incorporated into the overall spatial variability analysis. The most distinctive part of the formula is the coupling of the exponential function term with the coefficient outside it. This coupling combines the multiple effects of geological parameters to reflect the spatial differences between different detection points in the vertical and horizontal directions, as well as the multiple coupling effects of lithology, mechanics, and fluid properties. Specifically, reflects the comprehensive spatial scale differences between detection points in the vertical and horizontal directions. If the two are far apart in the vertical or horizontal direction, the value of this term will increase, thus having a significant impact on the negative exponential part of the exponential function; once the distance between the two points is close enough, the impact of this term on the overall variation value will be correspondingly weakened. At the same time, this part considers the ratio between the rock density and the solid particle density, aiming to capture the impact of the variation of rock properties between different detection points on the variability; if the rock density at detection point is significantly different from the solid particle density at detection point , this means that there may be significant changes in the lithology or pore structure of the strata where the two are located, thus leading to more obvious spatial differences in geological properties. In addition, this part further reflects the coupling relationship between mechanical and seepage properties. Specifically, is the effective pressure, is the porosity, represents the horizontal permeability, is the water saturation. When the effective pressure at point and the porosity at point are relatively large, while the permeability at point and the water saturation at point are relatively small, then the geological property differences between the two points will be amplified, thus introducing a larger value in the exponential term, resulting in a more significant decrease in the exponential function and an increase in the overall variation value. In other words, this structure clearly unifies mechanical parameters and fluid distribution parameters into the same variogram, providing a mathematical approach for the highly integrated multi-source geological data. It should be noted that there is also a a factor, which means that after the exponential function reaches a certain value, the total organic carbon content of the detection point and the thermal conductivity of the detection point are taken into consideration as a multiplicative factor, and are processed as a relative ratio with the Young's modulus of the detection point and the fracture density of the detection point . From a geophysical perspective, TOC characterizes the organic matter abundance and is crucial for the evaluation of shale gas or other unconventional oil and gas reservoirs; represents the rock thermal conductivity, reflecting the heat conduction ability of the formation; is the Young's modulus of the rock, which determines the deformation behavior of the rock under elastic stress; is the fracture density, representing the degree of fracture development near the detection point. The more developed the fracture network, the more obvious the continuity and anisotropy of the geological parameters. The coupling of these parameters is finally reflected in a square root form, that is . This operation numerically plays a regulatory role in amplifying or reducing the influence of these parameters on the variogram, so that when TOC and thermal conductivity are relatively large, while Young's modulus and fracture density are relatively small, more obvious differences may be presented between two points. In this way, the entire variogram is no longer simply determined by the distance factor or a single petrophysical parameter, but is a coupling effect integrating multiple factors such as spatial position, mechanical properties, fluid properties, and geochemical properties. This is exactly the advantage of the present invention. Through this integrated variogram, the present invention can more accurately depict the complexity inside the formation and show higher precision and reliability in the subsequent derivation of the covariance matrix and prediction of geological parameters at unknown points. This variogram with a nugget effect term and multi-source parameter coupling characteristics provides a new interpolation idea for the geological exploration field, can effectively overcome the limitations faced by traditional geostatistical methods in dealing with multi-physical parameter coupling, and still maintain strong adaptability and credibility in complex geological environments.
[0070] Example 4: For the th detection point, the calculation formula for its nugget effect value is as follows:
[0071] ;
[0072] where is the depth of the th detection point; is the initial nugget effect value. For loose sedimentary layers the value range is ; for shale layers the value range is ; for carbonate rock layers the value range is ; for igneous rock formations The value range is .
[0073] Specifically, the present invention assumes that the greater the depth where the detection point is located, the more stable the geological environment is. Or rather, for areas in the shallow part that are easily affected by factors such as surface activities, local erosion, or weathering, the nugget effect should be relatively large. Therefore, by exponentially decaying the depth in the calculation of the nugget effect value, this gradually weakening random perturbation with depth can be reflected. At the same time, the present invention fully considers the characteristics of different lithologies in the initial nugget effect value. Due to differences in diagenetic conditions and rock structures, different stratigraphic types often have different local microscopic characteristics: for example, loose sedimentary layers usually have weak particle binding forces and are easily affected by multiple factors such as the surface environment and sediment dynamics, resulting in large local measurement fluctuations during the data acquisition process. Therefore, a relatively smaller initial nugget effect value range needs to be selected to reflect the randomness brought by its high-frequency changes; for shale layers, because they may contain more organic matter and have a relatively dense structure, and due to the stress action during the sedimentary evolution process, local fracture development zones or brittle regions are also easily formed, thus showing a certain degree of discreteness in the measurement data. Therefore, the selection of the initial nugget effect value is increased, and an appropriate exponential decay is combined with the depth; for carbonate rock formations, due to their widespread dissolution and diverse pore structures, large differences in reservoir properties may occur in a small range. Therefore, the initial nugget effect value range is further increased, so that the measurement uncertainty brought by larger microscopic fluctuations can be reflected in the final calculation; in igneous rock formations, because the rock density is usually higher and has often experienced relatively strong magmatic or metamorphic effects, local anomalies are more likely to be related to processes such as joint fractures or mineral replacement. The corresponding nugget effect needs to take a higher range to reasonably depict the large measurement fluctuations that may occur in such extreme environments.
[0074] Example 5: The multi-source composite covariance between the th detection point and the th detection point is calculated using the following formula:
[0075] ;
[0076] where is the multi-source composite covariance between the th detection point and the th detection point; is the difference in nugget effect values between the th detection point and the th detection point; represents the The elastic modulus at each test point, in GPa; Indicates The elastic modulus at each test point, in GPa; Indicates The maximum horizontal principal stress at each test point, in MPa; Indicates The rock shear modulus at each detection point, in GPa; Indicates The shear strength at each test point, in MPa; Indicates The vertical stress at each test point is in MPa; Indicates The pore fluid pressure at each detection point, in MPa; Indicates The thickness of the oil and gas layer at each detection point, in meters; Indicates Thermal diffusion coefficient at each detection point, in m² / s; Indicates The detection point and The in-situ stress adjustment coefficient between the detection points; Represents the absolute value operator.
[0077] Specifically, For the The detection point and The nugget effect value difference between the detection points is used to correct the random component caused by local high-frequency disturbance or small-scale anomaly. In geological statistics, the nugget effect usually refers to the irregular jump of the measurement value or local anomaly within a very short distance. The present invention regards it as a basic correction amount affecting the covariance: when the two points are in similar geological environments and the local disturbance intensity is similar, The impact on the final result will be relatively small; however, if the formation type or local environment of the detection point is very different, the difference will produce a more significant correction to the covariance value. Representative The detection point and The variation value between the detection points is considered in the variation function by comprehensively considering the vertical and horizontal distance parameters, rock density ratio, porosity, permeability, water saturation and other multi-source parameters, so as to delicately depict the spatial differences of geological attributes. When the variation value is large, it means that the two points show significant differences in multi-source geological parameters. The value of This indicates that the geological correlation between the two detection points is not high.
[0078] Immediately following, is the in-situ stress adjustment coefficient, which is used to describe the influence of stress field differences on the correlation of geological parameters. If, in a certain area, the stress environment is very different from that of the surrounding area, then even if the spatial distance is relatively close, significant deviations may occur in the mechanical properties of the reservoir and the fluid seepage performance; It is in this case that the covariance is weighted and corrected so that the complexity of the stress field can be better incorporated into the model. Next, the in the numerator part reflects the coupled effect of the elastic modulus, fracture density, and maximum horizontal principal stress. Here, is the fracture density at the th detection point, which largely determines the brittle characteristics of the rock and the fluid conduction ability; and are the elastic moduli at the th and th detection points respectively, describing the ability of the rock to resist deformation within the elastic range; is then the maximum horizontal principal stress at the th detection point. If the rock at a certain detection point has a high elastic modulus, a large fracture density, and a relatively high maximum horizontal principal stress, then this point will show a stronger response to changes in the geomechanical field. In the covariance calculation, the product of these factors will increase the correlation between two points; conversely, if the rock is denser and has fewer fractures, and the stress level is lower, then the enhancing effect on the overall correlation will be weakened.
[0079] Comparing the above numerator part with the in the denominator, it can be seen that these denominator terms also represent several core variables affecting geomechanical coupling. is the rock shear modulus at the th detection point, which determines the deformation ability of the rock in the shear state; is the shear strength at the th detection point, used to measure the critical value that the rock can withstand before shear failure; represents the vertical stress at the th detection point, covering the compaction effect of the overlying pressure of the rock formation in the vertical direction. When the parameter values in the denominator are larger, it indicates that the rock in this area is more resistant to stress or external force changes, making it difficult for the mechanical coupling effect from another detection point to be transmitted, thus showing a weakening effect on the covariance value. At the end of the formula, the correction term composed of exponential functions is used to describe the influence of depth difference, fluid pressure, and heat diffusion on the correlation between two points. Among them, is the th and The difference in vertical depth between two detection points. If one detection point is deeply buried underground while the other is relatively shallowly buried, there are often significant differences in their thermal conditions and fluid pressure distributions. represents the pore fluid pressure at the th detection point. When the pressure is high, the hydrodynamic processes within the rock pores and fractures are more active, having a significant impact on the attenuation or enhancement of geological properties. is the thickness of the oil and gas bearing layer at the th detection point. When this value is high, the fluid in the reservoir may be more abundantly distributed, and heat convection is more obvious, thereby amplifying the regulatory effect of fluid pressure on geological parameters. is the thermal diffusivity at the th detection point, which characterizes the rock's ability to transfer heat. If the thermal diffusivity is large, the temperature gradient is more easily balanced within the region, which may weaken the temperature and fluid property differences caused by depth differences. Conversely, if the thermal diffusivity is small, the temperature change and fluid pressure difference generated by the same depth difference will be more obvious. The exponential form means that after these thermodynamic and hydrodynamic factors are combined with the depth difference, they will produce an exponential decay effect on the covariance: when the
[0080] Example 6: For the thermal diffusivity at the th detection point, it is calculated using the following formula:
[0081] ;
[0082] where represents the specific heat capacity at the th detection point, with the unit of
[0083] Specifically, in this formula, is the thermal conductivity at the th detection point, and the unit is usually . A higher value means that the rock at that location has a stronger ability to conduct heat and is more likely to transfer temperature differences in the horizontal and vertical directions; represents the rock density at that location (either the density excluding the pore space or the overall rock density, depending on the specific description in the previous text of the present invention), with the unit of or is the specific heat capacity, with the unit of , which represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of rock by 1 Kelvin without phase change. The above three parameters together determine the comprehensive ability of the rock medium to absorb and diffuse heat during temperature change: when the thermal conductivity is relatively large, heat energy can be quickly transmitted in the rock, making the temperature gradient tend to equilibrium faster; however, if the density and the specific heat capacity of the rock are relatively high, it means that more heat needs to be absorbed or released per unit volume to achieve the same temperature change. In this case, the value of the thermal diffusivity will decrease as the denominator increases, resulting in relatively slow heat diffusion. Therefore, intuitively represents the ratio of "heat conduction ability" to "heat storage ability": if the thermal conductivity dominates, increases, and the rock medium will quickly balance the temperature field; if the density or specific heat capacity of the rock is relatively large, decreases, and heat is difficult to conduct to farther areas in a short time. Through the accurate estimation of by the method of the present invention, in subsequent multi-source data fusion, not only can the thermophysical characteristics at this detection point be incorporated into the correction of the covariance matrix or variogram, but also the coupling relationship between the depth difference, pore fluid pressure, and thermodynamic parameters can be reflected through exponential terms, etc., so as to more realistically simulate the geological property changes of deep reservoirs under the interaction of temperature, pressure, and stress, enabling the overall geological exploration and data fusion model to also maintain high adaptability and accuracy under high-temperature, high-pressure, or unconventional formation conditions.
[0084] Example 7: The in-situ stress adjustment coefficient between the th detection point and the th detection point is calculated using the following formula:
[0085] .
[0086] Specifically, this example gives a formula containing multiple mechanical parameters and geometric factors to quantify the difference in in-situ stress environment between the th detection point and the th detection point. First, and respectively represent the maximum horizontal principal stress at the th detection point and the The minimum horizontal principal stress at a detection point. When the difference between the two is large, it indicates that there are obvious differences in the stress environment between the two points, which will affect the rock fracture mode and fracture extension law. If the difference between the two is small, it means that the in-situ stress levels at the two points are relatively close. Correspondingly, the adjustment range of the in-situ stress adjustment coefficient for the covariance will be weakened. Next, and respectively represent the vertical stresses at the th and th detection points. Together with the horizontal stress, they determine the complete stress state of the underground medium. When the denominator has a large value, it indicates that the overlying pressure borne relatively is high, and the sensitivity of the rock mass to stress differences will be reduced, partially offsetting the actual influence of the in-situ stress environment differences between the two points.
[0087] Meanwhile, this part reflects the coupling between the shear modulus and elastic modulus of the rock: are the rock shear moduli at the two points respectively, characterizing the deformation ability of the rock under shear action, while is the elastic modulus at the th detection point, used to characterize the resistance of the rock to elastic deformation. If the rock shear modulus or elastic modulus at a certain detection point changes drastically, it will increase or weaken the amplification effect of the in-situ stress adjustment coefficient on the covariance, and then reflect different feedbacks of the rock mass to stress actions. Finally, the exponential decay term is used to characterize the weakening effect of the difference in vertical depth between the two detection points on the in-situ stress coupling relationship: when is large, it means that they may be located in different tectonic horizons underground. Even if the thickness of the oil and gas bearing layer is large, it is difficult to cross the physical environment differences brought about by the depth difference, resulting in obvious attenuation of this exponential term and causing the in-situ stress adjustment coefficient to tend to decrease; if the burial depths of the two points are close and the superposition degree of the thickness of the oil and gas bearing layer is high, then this exponential value is relatively larger, making the amplification effect of the in-situ stress adjustment on the correlation between the two points more significant.
[0088] Example 8: According to the following formula, predict the multi-source geological parameters of the unknown point based on the multi-source composite covariance between the detection points:
[0089] ;
[0090] where, is the multi-source geological parameter of the predicted unknown point; is the standard value of the multi-source geological parameter of the detection point, which is a set value, and the standard values of different multi-source geological parameters are different; is the multi-source geological parameter of the detection point; is the The weight of the th detection point; where is the brittleness index at the th detection point; is the natural gamma value at the th detection point, in API; represents the shale index at the th detection point; is the spontaneous potential at the th detection point, in mV; is the true resistivity at the th detection point, in Ω·m; is the relative density of natural gas at the
[0091] th detection point. Specifically, the core structure of the formula is a weighted sum expression, where represents the geological parameter of the predicted unknown point, and the known detection point parameters are finally determined to estimate the unknown point after a series of corrections and weight adjustments. First, this summation term means that the predicted value is the weighted average of all detection point data, where represents the weight of the th detection point, calculated from the multi-source composite covariance matrix. The weight reflects the contribution of the detection point data in the prediction process, usually determined jointly by the spatial distance between the detection point and the unknown point, the variability of geological parameters, and the similarity of logging data. If the geological environment of a detection point is more similar to the unknown point, then its weight value will be relatively large, and the prediction result is more likely to be affected by the data at this point; on the contrary, if the geological conditions at a detection point are significantly different from the unknown point, then its weight is small, and its contribution to the final predicted value is low. The next correction term is used to eliminate the systematic deviation of logging data or rock physical parameters under different regions or different measurement standards. represents the standard value of the th detection point. Different types of geological parameters have different standard values. For example, for porosity, it may be the regional average porosity, and for permeability, it may be the average permeability under the same lithological background. By calculating the deviation between the actual data of the detection point and its standard value , the present invention can effectively correct the systematic error in the measurement data, so that the prediction model maintains stability and consistency under different regions or different measurement methods.
[0092] Based on the corrected geological parameters, the formula further introduces a coupling correction term for logging parameters. , where is the brittleness index, which measures the likelihood of brittle fracture of reservoir rocks under external forces. The brittleness index is usually determined by mineral composition, fracture development degree, and stress environment. A higher brittleness index often means that the rock is more prone to fracture, which is crucial for the development of unconventional resources such as shale gas and coalbed methane. If the brittleness index at a certain detection point is high, then this point will have a more significant impact on the geological parameters of unknown points during the prediction process because brittle fracture is often accompanied by reservoir transformation, resulting in large changes in key parameters such as permeability and porosity. is the natural gamma value (unit: API), which is mainly used to reflect the content of radioactive elements in the formation and is usually positively correlated with the shale content. A higher natural gamma value usually means a higher shale content in the formation, while a low natural gamma value indicates the possibility of a sandstone or carbonate reservoir. Therefore, when predicting the geological parameters of unknown points, if the natural gamma value at a certain detection point is high, it may indicate a higher shale content in the reservoir at this point, thus affecting its key geological parameters such as permeability and water saturation. represents the standardized unit of the logging gamma value, which is used to normalize data between different logging instruments and regions, enabling direct comparison of logging data at different detection points. And is the pore fluid density, which represents the density of the fluid in the reservoir at this detection point. The greater the pore fluid density, usually means that the fluid components may contain a higher proportion of heavy hydrocarbon components, or are affected by higher pressure conditions. In the formula, the role of this term is to balance the influence of the brittleness index and the natural gamma value on the prediction, enabling the reservoir fluid characteristics to appropriately participate in the prediction model and avoiding relying solely on rock mineralogical parameters for judgment.
[0093] In addition, the formula also contains an additional correction factor , where is the shale index, which reflects the influence of the shale content in the formation on lithology and permeability and is usually used to distinguish reservoirs from caps or low-permeability reservoirs. is the spontaneous potential, unit: mV, which is mainly used to identify the salinity and permeability of formation water. A higher spontaneous potential is usually related to better reservoir permeability. If both the shale index and the spontaneous potential at the detection point are high, it may indicate a higher shale content in the reservoir, but at the same time, there may be better fluid migration ability. In the correction factor, is the true resistivity (unit: ), which is used to characterize the conductivity of the formation and is usually related to the water saturation of the reservoir. High resistivity generally indicates oil and gas enrichment, while low resistivity may mean that the formation is mainly filled with water. Finally, is the relative density of natural gas, which is used to measure whether the density of natural gas at the detection point is higher than the standard air density. If this value is large, it indicates that there may be richer natural gas resources in this area. The physical meaning of this correction factor is that by normalizing the shale index, spontaneous potential, true resistivity, and natural gas density, the physical and chemical properties of the reservoir can be more comprehensively described, enabling the prediction model to not only rely on spatial statistical correlations but also combine the specific characteristics of well logging data to optimize the accuracy of the prediction results. For example, if the shale index at a certain detection point is high, but the resistivity and natural gas density are low, it indicates that the reservoir may be more water-filled rather than rich in oil and gas. When predicting unknown points, the influence of this detection point will be weakened. Conversely, if the resistivity and natural gas density at a certain detection point are both high, it indicates that this point may be in an oil and gas enrichment area, so its contribution to the prediction of unknown points will be amplified.
[0094] Example 9: The weight of the th detection point is calculated using the following formula, where the value of
[0095] is 1, 2,..., N:
[0096] where is the Lagrange multiplier to ensure that the sum of the weights is 1; represents the depth difference between the th detection point and the unknown point.
[0097] Specifically, in this formula, the calculation of the weight depends on a matrix equation, where the inverse matrix of the covariance matrix is used to solve the optimal weight allocation problem. The column vector on the left side of the matrix contains the weights of all detection points and an additional Lagrange multiplier which is used to ensure that the sum of all weights is 1, thus maintaining the unbiasedness of the interpolation process. On the right side of the matrix equation, the column vector consists of the depth differences between the detection points and the unknown point and the constant 1, to ensure that the interpolation result not only meets the requirements of statistical optimal estimation but also fully considers the geological feature changes of the reservoir in the depth direction. The covariance matrix is a square matrix composed of the multi-source composite covariance between each detection point, where The covariance between detection points, which is calculated by the aforementioned composite covariance formula and includes various factors such as rock mechanics parameters, hydrodynamic parameters, stress field influence, and formation physical properties. Therefore, compared with the practice of calculating covariance only based on Euclidean distance or variogram in traditional methods, the method of the present invention further considers the coupling effect of multi-source geological data during weight calculation, enabling a more accurate reflection of the spatial variation trend within the reservoir during the prediction process.
[0098] The last column and the last row of the matrix are both composed of 1s, aiming to introduce Lagrangian constraints, so that the solution of the weights not only depends on the distribution of the covariance matrix but also ensures that the sum of all weights is 1, thereby ensuring that there will be no systematic deviation in the interpolation result. The advantage of this method is that even in the case of uneven data distribution or large spatial variability, it can still maintain the stability of the prediction and avoid the abnormal interpolation phenomenon that may occur in traditional methods. During the matrix solution process, the weights are obtained through an inverse operation, and its mathematical meaning is to allocate the influence degree of each detection point on the unknown point on the premise of minimizing the prediction error. If the covariance between a certain detection point and the unknown point is large, it indicates a strong correlation between the geological parameters of the two, and the weight of this point will increase accordingly; conversely, if the covariance between a certain detection point and the unknown point is small, its weight will decrease, meaning that this point has a small contribution to the prediction. In addition, the depth difference is used as a correction factor to further adjust the distribution of the weights, enabling the interpolation to not only consider the horizontal distribution but also reflect the geological changes in the depth direction, which is particularly important when the formation has obvious bedding or a significant geostress gradient.
