Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of seismic data processing and reservoir prediction technology, and in particular to a reservoir prediction method and system based on multi-source information fusion. Background Technology

[0002] The goal of reservoir prediction is to determine the spatial distribution and reserves of oil and gas reservoirs, making it one of the most crucial aspects of oil and gas exploration. With the continuous growth of global demand for oil and gas resources and the increasing depth of exploration, the targets of oil and gas exploration are gradually shifting from shallow to medium-deep and even deep reservoirs, from simple to complex, and from conventional to unconventional. Reservoir prediction has become an effective means to improve the accuracy of deep oil and gas reservoir characterization and reduce exploration risks.

[0003] Reservoir prediction is a comprehensive research endeavor aimed at quantitatively characterizing the spatial distribution, physical parameters, and fluid distribution of subsurface reservoirs through the integrated analysis of multi-source, multi-scale data. Current technologies typically employ single geophysical attributes or independent, staged analysis models, which are insufficient to meet the requirements for detailed characterization of deep, complex oil and gas reservoirs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop more effective reservoir prediction methods to achieve the coordinated characterization of reservoir spatial distribution, physical parameters, and fluid properties. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives and technical effects, the present invention provides the following technical solution.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a reservoir prediction method based on multi-source information fusion is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) Acquire data on the target area, including well logging, coring, seismic and geological data, and perform data analysis and preprocessing;

[0008] (2) Combine the seismic geological conditions of the target area to perform high-fidelity and weak signal processing on the seismic data to obtain high-fidelity, high signal-to-noise ratio and high-resolution seismic data;

[0009] (3) Use information from well logging, seismic and geological data, combined with knowledge from the fields of geology and geophysics, to perform fine well seismic calibration and accurately calibrate the target layer;

[0010] (4) A deep embedded self-organizing mapping network that can adaptively consider the changes in formation thickness is used for seismic facies visualization analysis, and the sedimentary facies type and distribution characteristics of the reservoir are determined by combining well logging and core data;

[0011] (5) Perform cepstral analysis on seismic data to enhance the seismic response characteristics of fractures, calculate coherence and ant body properties by combining gradient structure tensor algorithm, and perform multi-scale fracture detection by combining FMI imaging logging interpretation;

[0012] (6) Use seismic waveform inversion to obtain parameters such as density and wave impedance that are closely related to rock porosity, convert porosity according to the statistical relationship of well data, and combine rock physical analysis to divide a relatively large area of ​​favorable blocks;

[0013] (7) Use data-driven seismic texture analysis, depth domain dispersion analysis, and deep learning of seismic data to extract seismic attribute features that are sensitive to gas content, and then fuse the calculated attribute features according to the proportion of the dominant part to detect the gas content of the reservoir.

[0014] (8) Predict favorable reservoir distribution by using the results of adaptive weighted fusion seismic facies identification, multi-scale fracture detection, wave impedance and porosity inversion and gas content detection;

[0015] (9) Analyze and evaluate the favorable reservoir distribution results obtained by fusion prediction of multi-source, multi-dimensional and multi-attribute data based on the well logging interpretation of the drilled wells in the target area and the gas test and production data of single wells.

[0016] Preferably, the data preprocessing in step (1) may include outlier removal, environmental correction, multi-well consistency correction, etc.

[0018] Preferably, the fine well seismic calibration described in step (3) is based on the conventional well seismic calibration process, and uses prior geological information and knowledge in the fields of geology and geophysics to constrain and obtain results that are more consistent with the actual geological conditions of the target area, so as to accurately establish the connection between depth domain geological, logging and other information and time domain seismic geophysical information.

[0019] Preferably, the deep embedded self-organizing map network described in step (4) is a seismic facies visualization analysis method that simultaneously completes the self-encoding feature extraction process and self-organizing map feature clustering. Furthermore, by adding sparse constraints, the stability of the seismic facies classification results is improved, thereby enabling the visualization results to display more details.

Based on the statistical relationship of well data, porosity is obtained by conversion, and combined with rock physical analysis, a relatively large area of ​​favorable blocks is delineated.

[0033] The gas-bearing detection module is used to extract gas-sensitive seismic attribute features from seismic data through data-driven seismic texture analysis, depth domain dispersion analysis, and deep learning of seismic data. The calculated attribute features are then fused according to the proportion of the dominant components to detect the gas-bearing capacity of the reservoir.

[0034] The reservoir comprehensive prediction module is used to predict favorable reservoir distribution by adaptively weighted fusion of seismic facies identification, multi-scale fault detection, wave impedance and porosity inversion and gas-bearing detection results.

[0036] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Based on high-fidelity and weak signal processing of seismic data and fine well seismic calibration, this invention organically combines seismic facies visualization analysis that can adaptively consider formation thickness variations, multi-scale fracture detection of coherent ant body attributes enhanced by cepstral analysis, wave impedance and porosity inversion based on seismic waveform indication, and multi-dimensional reservoir gas-bearing detection combining seismic texture analysis, depth domain dispersion analysis, and deep learning of seismic data. This forms a reservoir prediction method of "facies-zone determination, porosity-reservoir determination, and gas-buoyancy determination". It can overcome the limitations of current technology systems that usually use a single geophysical attribute or a staged independent analysis mode for reservoir prediction, and realize the synergistic characterization of reservoir spatial distribution, physical parameters, and fluid properties, providing a reliable basis for guiding the subsequent development of reservoirs.
