Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of seismic post-stack data compensation, and particularly relates to a pre-stack spatial residual amplitude compensation method for complex volcanic rock areas. Background Technique

[0002] When seismic waves propagate underground, the amplitude will attenuate during the propagation process. The volcanic rock reflection interface is strong, and the wave impedance between interfaces is relatively large, which will seriously shield the reflection energy of the upper and lower strata. Moreover, due to the relatively complex geological structure, the seismic energy will change due to different geological structures. Especially at the interface of media, when the excited seismic waves propagate underground to the interface of media, due to the change of wave impedance, the amplitude of the particle vibration displacement changes, and the amplitude is distorted, which causes great difficulties in oil and gas exploration, seismic interpretation, and reservoir inversion.

[0003] Currently, the amplitude compensation methods mainly include spherical diffusion compensation based on the geometric diffusion theory and surface consistent amplitude compensation based on surface non-uniform absorption attenuation. These two amplitude compensation methods cannot solve the amplitude attenuation caused by the existence of complex volcanic rock areas underground, resulting in inconsistent spatial amplitudes between the volcanic rock development areas and non-volcanic rock development areas on the imaging profile.

[0004] In order to compensate the amplitude at the interface of media, Chinese invention patent CN108181649B discloses a method and device for compensating the amplitude at the interface of media, including: obtaining the root mean square amplitude value of a seismic trace according to the seismic data to be analyzed; picking up the interface of media, and calculating the interface reflection amplitude value corresponding to the interface of media according to the root mean square amplitude value of the seismic trace; calculating the interface transmission amplitude value corresponding to the interface of media according to the interface reflection amplitude value and the preset total seismic energy value by using A = Ar + At, where A represents the total seismic energy value, Ar represents the interface reflection amplitude value, and At represents the interface transmission amplitude value; calculating the interface amplitude compensation factor according to the interface transmission amplitude value by using St = As / At, where St represents the interface amplitude compensation factor, As represents the specified normalized amplitude level value, and At represents the interface transmission amplitude value; and performing the amplitude compensation operation of the interface of media according to the interface amplitude compensation factor and the root mean square amplitude value of the seismic trace. This compensation process reduces the phenomenon of uneven change in the amplitude strength characteristics at the interface of media, making the change in the amplitude strength of the compensated seismic data more natural.

[0005] Chinese Invention Patent CN115903044A discloses an energy absorption attenuation compensation method for strong shielding, including the steps of: S1, inputting denoised seismic data; S2, calculating the root mean square amplitude of the seismic data; S3, obtaining an exponential model of the attenuation of the seismic trace amplitude with time according to the root mean square amplitude value; S4, establishing a time window compensation function according to the exponential model to compensate the overall data. This invention calculates the attenuation coefficient by time window, and the obtained compensation function is variable in both time and space, which can reflect the characteristics of strong reflection interfaces such as igneous rocks and can well recover the attenuated energy of the strata above and below the igneous rocks.

[0006] However, the above compensation method does not set up a compensation method for the complex spatial residual amplitude of volcanic rocks, and moreover, it does not eliminate the abnormal root mean square amplitude attributes that may exist in the seismic stack data. It is not clear whether the consistency of the spatial amplitude of the complex spatial target layer is improved. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a spatial residual amplitude compensation method that can be applied to the complex volcanic rock area to achieve pre-stack spatial residual amplitude compensation in the complex volcanic rock area and improve the amplitude consistency of the target layer. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a pre-stack spatial residual amplitude compensation method for complex volcanic rock areas, which reflects the amplitude change law of the target layer by statistically analyzing the root mean square amplitude of the target layer in the igneous rock development area; eliminates the abnormal root mean square amplitude attributes caused by possible bad traces and abnormal traces in the seismic stack data after smoothing and normalization; obtains a calculation factor that can be applied to the pre-stack CMP gather by extracting the amplitude compensation factor; realizes pre-stack spatial residual amplitude compensation in complex areas, especially pre-stack spatial residual amplitude compensation in complex volcanic rock areas, and improves the spatial amplitude consistency of the target layer.

The following content is only an exemplary illustration of the scope claimed by the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention based on the disclosed content, and it should also fall within the scope claimed by the present invention. When an embodiment gives a numerical range, it should be understood that unless otherwise specified in the present invention, any value at both ends of each numerical range and any value between the two ends can be selected. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The present invention will be further described below by way of specific embodiments.

[0040] Embodiment 1

[0041] Step S1: Based on the seismic stack data volume, the root mean square amplitude attribute of the target layer in the volcanic rock development area is statistically obtained. The root mean square amplitude attribute of the target layer in the volcanic rock development area is the root mean square value of the amplitude of the stacked section within a certain time window under the constraint of seismic horizon interpretation.

[0042] The root mean square amplitude attribute of the target layer is specifically obtained by the following steps:

[0043] The seismic single-shot data is collected by using a collection device, and after conventional seismic data processing and stacking, a seismic stack data volume is obtained, as Figure 2 shown. Multiple attributes such as the amplitude, energy, phase, and frequency of the seismic stack data volume are closely related to reservoir physical properties, hydrocarbon-bearing relationships, and sedimentary characteristics. The range of the igneous rock development area is determined on the seismic stack data volume through drilling and geological understanding, as Figure 2 the ranges outlined by the red line and the blue line. The amplitude values of the seismic stack data volume within this range are statistically obtained, and the root mean square value is calculated to obtain the root mean square amplitude attribute of the target layer, as Figure 3 shown.

[0044] The stratigraphic interface is the dividing line of sediments with different physical properties underground. The dividing line divides the sediments with similar physical properties together and separates the sediments with significantly different physical properties. Therefore, by adding the constraint of the horizon in the seismic-driven modeling process, stratigraphic modeling can be carried out, that is, a formation space conversion function is obtained for each horizon, and the description of the change of formation physical property parameters by the calculated formation space conversion function will be more accurate. Only the formation space conversion function obtained for a certain horizon is used within that horizon to estimate the physical property parameters within that horizon.

[0045] In this embodiment, the determination of the time window range is specifically as follows: The time window range for calculating the root mean square value of the statistical amplitude is determined through step S1. First, based on the seismic stack profile and the continuity of the event axis, the formation interfaces are picked up. Figure 2 The red line and the blue line in the figure represent two different formation interfaces. Then, with the red line as the starting point and the blue line point as the ending point, the statistical time window range is determined.

[0046] Step S2: Smooth and normalize the root mean square amplitude attribute of the target layer in step S1. Among them, the smoothing grid size is taken as the maximum offset in the work area, and in this embodiment, it is taken as 7000m × 7000m.

[0047] The root mean square amplitude attribute statistically calculated in step S1 is the root mean square value within a fixed time window for each trace of the seismic stack profile. Since there are bad traces and abnormal traces in the seismic stack profile, it will cause calculation errors in calculating the amplitude compensation factor during the normalization process. Therefore, it is necessary to smooth and normalize the root mean square amplitude attribute of the target layer. The specific process is as follows:

[0048] Step S2-1: Smooth the root mean square amplitude attribute of the target layer, that is, add the amplitude values within the preset horizontal grid (7000m × 7000m) of the root mean square amplitude attribute of the target layer, and then divide by the number of seismic traces within the preset grid to obtain the smoothed amplitude value.

[0049] Step S2-2: Normalize the smoothed root mean square amplitude attribute. The specific formula for the normalization process is as follows: Among them, A i is the root mean square value after normalization; a i is the smoothed amplitude value obtained in step S21; a max is the maximum amplitude value among the smoothed amplitude values obtained in step S21.

[0050] Step S3: Extract the remaining amplitude compensation factor from the normalized root mean square amplitude attribute; the extracted remaining amplitude compensation factor is the magnitude of the normalized root mean square amplitude attribute.

[0051] In this embodiment, the remaining amplitude compensation factor is calculated through the following formula:

[0052] P i = 1 - A i where P i is the extracted remaining amplitude compensation factor.

[0053] Step S4: Perform amplitude compensation on the pre-stack gather (CMP, Common Middle Point) using the remaining amplitude compensation factor; the specific compensation method is as follows: Each CMP point in the pre-stack gather corresponds to a remaining amplitude compensation factor, and each pre-stack gather is multiplied by the corresponding remaining amplitude compensation factor to obtain the compensated pre-stack gather.

[0054] The pre-stack gather includes the common shot gather, the common receiver gather, and the common reflection point gather. Performing the compensation of the remaining amplitude compensation factor on each CMP point in the pre-stack gather specifically includes:

[0055] Step S4-1: Determine a CMP point from the pre-stack gather;

[0056] Step S4-2: Multiply the CMP point determined in Step S4-1 by the remaining amplitude compensation factor obtained in the corresponding Step S3 to obtain the compensated CMP point. The specific calculation formula is: M i = P i * C i , where M i is the compensated pre-stack CMP gather, and C i is the pre-stack gather.

[0057] Step S4-3: Traverse the pre-stack gather and repeat Steps S4-1 and S4-2 to obtain all compensated CMP gathers.

[0058] Step S5: Perform stacking processing on all the obtained compensated pre-stack gathers.

[0059] Before performing the above compensation method, the root mean square amplitude attribute before compensation obtained shows that the consistency of the spatial amplitude of the target layer is weak; after the operation of the compensation method described in the present invention, the consistency of the spatial amplitude of the target layer is improved, as Figure 3 shown. Figure 4 shown.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. Any simple modification or equivalent replacement of the technical solution of the present invention by those of ordinary skill in the art does not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
