The method comprises the following steps: firstly, determining an object source direction and a delta lobes range through geological background research, selecting an input point as an original point, arranging a plurality of groups of seismic sections at equal angle intervals, and determining a main object source section; tracking the top and bottom boundary lines of the delta lobes on each section, taking a point with the maximum thickness as a reference point, and forming an initial water depth contour line by connecting the reference point of the main object source section with reference points of other sections; further selecting multiple points along the top boundary of the main section, calculating the paleo-water depth value of each point in combination with the thickness data, and constructing a complete contour map in a mode of parallel initial contour lines. According to the method, the limitation of dependence on drilling data traditionally is broken through, and rapid reconstruction of the paleo-water depth in the well-free area is achieved by establishing the quantitative relation between the sedimentary thickness and the paleo-water depth through the geometrical morphology characteristics of the seismic section and the sedimentary body.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas geological exploration, and particularly relates to a method for compiling an isobath map of paleo-water depth in a delta sedimentary area without wells. Background Art

[0002] In oil and gas exploration, paleo-water depth analysis is one of the important bases for predicting the distribution of source rocks and favorable reservoir sand bodies, and is of great significance for paleo-environment reconstruction, basin analysis, sequence stratigraphy research, paleogeomorphology restoration, and the evaluation of source, reservoir, and cap rock conditions.

[0003] Common methods for paleo-water depth analysis include paleontology method, sedimentology method, geophysical method, geochemical method, and digital simulation method, etc. The paleontology method requires drilling core or cuttings data. When the data is not detailed enough, the results vary greatly and are easily affected by sediment reworking. Methods such as sedimentology method, geophysical method, and geochemical method need to rely on drilling data to obtain cuttings data and logging curves. The digital simulation method is applicable to the basin scale and requires a large amount of data accumulation. The shoreline trajectory method believes that the delta plain area belongs to the compensation area, and the calculated paleo-water depth is equal to 0. However, there is a certain slope from the delta plain to the delta front, and the paleo-water depth should be greater than 0. At the same time, the size of the accommodation space is affected by the shoreline position, and the accommodation space is often calculated too large. The pre-stack thickness calculated by the seismic data method is the cumulative thickness, resulting in a greatly overestimated calculated paleo-water depth.

[0004] In recent years, various methods have been developed for paleo-water depth analysis. For example, in the patent with the application publication number: CN114624775A, titled: A Comprehensive Quantitative Restoration Method for Paleo-Water Depth in a Sedimentary Lake Basin, it is proposed to comprehensively determine the paleo-water depth by using the shoreline trajectory method and the trace element (Fe / Co) method in mudstone, but a large amount of Fe and Co element analysis and test data obtained from drilling are required. In the patent with the application publication number: CN113970796A, titled: A Method for Accurately Restoring the Paleo-Water Depth of a Sedimentary Basin, it is proposed to flatten the top surface of the delta foreset structure, restore the compaction amount and erosion amount, and then use logging data and sample analysis and test data to restore the paleo-water depth of the basin. Similarly, drilling data and analysis and test data are required. In the patent with the publication number: CN111475920B, titled: A Method, System, Electronic Device, and Storage Medium for Obtaining the Paleo-Water Depth of a Deep-Water Basin, a method for restoring the paleo-water depth of a deep-water basin is proposed, which requires the use of paleontological information in cores and cuttings obtained from drilling, the characteristics of the shelf break zone, etc. The three-level sequence sedimentary configuration analysis method (Shu Liangfeng et al., 2022), these two methods are applicable to the large-scale paleo-water depth restoration at the basin level.

[0005] The above methods either rely on drilling data or are only applicable to the large-scale conditions of the basin, and are not applicable to the small-scale delta sedimentary area without drilling. Summary of the Invention

The method for compiling the paleo-water depth contour map of the delta sedimentation area without wells provided by the present invention can determine the paleo-water depth of the delta sedimentation area without wells without relying on drilling to obtain data, and is not affected by the research scale, and can quickly calculate the paleo-water depth of the delta sedimentation area without wells. This method has more accurate results and higher efficiency in restoring the paleo-water depth under the conditions of the delta sedimentation area without wells during the oil and gas exploration stage, and plays an important role in the research of paleo-water depth.

[0048] The following combines Figures 1 to 6 to describe the method for compiling the paleo-water depth contour map of the delta sedimentation area without wells provided by the present invention.

[0049] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for compiling a paleo-water depth contour map of a delta sedimentation area without wells, including the following steps:

[0050] Step S100: Determine the provenance direction and the range of the delta lobe based on the research results of the geological background of the target area, and determine the upstream position and input point of the provenance input of the delta lobe;

[0051] Step S200: Take multiple seismic profiles S passing through the delta lobe with the input point as the origin i , and the multiple seismic profiles S i are set at equal angular intervals, and determine the main provenance profile S0 of the seismic profile with the largest angle of the delta wedge;

[0052] Step S300: Trace the top boundary and bottom boundary of the delta lobe on the seismic profile S i , and determine the point corresponding to the position with the largest thickness of the delta lobe on the top boundary as point P i , where the point corresponding to the position with the largest thickness of the delta lobe on the main provenance profile S0 is point P0, the thickness of the delta lobe corresponding to point P0 is H0, and the thickness of the delta lobe is the vertical distance between the top boundary and the bottom boundary;

[0053] Step S400: Connect point P0 and P in sequence i to obtain the water depth contour line L0;

[0054] Step S500: Take multiple points K along the top boundary of the delta lobe of the main provenance profile S0 j , and measure point Kj The thickness value H of the delta lobe at j ;

[0055] Step S600: Based on the thickness values H0 and H of the delta lobe j , calculate the water depth values W0 and W corresponding to point P0 and point K j ; j ;

[0056] Step S700: On the main provenance profile S0, starting from point K j , draw a water depth contour line L parallel to the water depth contour line L0 to obtain the paleo-water depth contour map of the well-free delta sedimentation area. The water depth value corresponding to the water depth contour line L0 is W0, and the water depth value corresponding to the water depth contour line L j is W j ; j .

[0057] Specifically, first determine the provenance direction and the delta lobe range according to the regional geological background research results, and find the upstream position and input point of the delta lobe provenance input.

[0058] Then, taking the input point as the origin, at a certain angular interval, take a series of seismic profiles S i (i = 0, 1, 2,...) of the delta lobe. On the seismic profile, according to the angle of the delta wedge, determine the seismic profile with the largest angle of the delta wedge as the main provenance profile, denoted as the main provenance profile S0. The remaining seismic profiles can be sequentially denoted as S1, S2, S3, S4 in the clockwise direction starting from the main provenance profile, and marked as S5, S6, S7 in the counterclockwise direction.

[0059] Then, on the main provenance profile S0, trace the top boundary and bottom boundary of the delta lobe, calculate the height difference between the top boundary and bottom boundary at each position. This height difference is the thickness of the delta lobe. Denote the point at the maximum thickness position on the top boundary as point P0, and the maximum thickness value here is H0.

[0060] Similarly, on the profile Si (i = 1, 2,...), denote the point at the maximum thickness position on the top boundary as point P i , and connect point P i and point P0 in sequence to obtain the water depth contour line L0.

[0061] Then, take a series of points K j (j = 1, 2,...) on the main provenance profile S0. The thickness value of the delta lobe corresponding to point K j is H j (j = 1, 2,...). Using the relationship between the thickness value and the water depth value, calculate point P0 and point K jThe corresponding water depth values W0 and W at the location j (j = 1, 2,...).

[0062] Finally, on the main provenance profile S0, starting from the point K taken in the previous step j travel, make a water depth contour line L parallel to the water depth contour line L0 j (j =, 1, 2,...), L j is the paleo - water depth contour line during the delta lobe deposition period. The water depth value corresponding to the water depth contour line L0 is W0, and the water depth value corresponding to the water depth contour line L j is set as W j , and the paleo - water depth contour map of the delta sedimentation area without wells is obtained.

[0063] In some embodiments, the angle between two adjacent seismic profiles is 10 degrees to 20 degrees, specifically it can be 15 degrees.

[0064] In some embodiments, the point K j is equally spaced on the top boundary line of the delta lobe of the main provenance profile S0.

[0065] Furthermore, the method of taking multiple points K j along the top boundary line of the delta lobe of the main provenance profile S0 is to equally spacedly select multiple points K j upstream and downstream of the top boundary line starting from the point P0.

[0066] The water depth value corresponding to the point K j is calculated by the following formula:

[0067]

[0068] where W b is the normal wave base water depth obtained from literature research. Formula (1) represents the points located upstream of the point P0, and this formula is used to calculate the water depth value; formula (2) represents the points located downstream of the point P0, and this formula is used to calculate the water depth value.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, taking the area where the delta lobe is expected to develop in the Middle Miocene Sanya Formation of the Haikou 29A structure as an example, the method for compiling the paleo - water depth contour map of the delta sedimentation area without wells includes the following steps:

[0070] As Figure 2 shown, according to the results of regional geological background research, determine that the provenance direction is from the northeast direction. According to the thickness value between the top surface T52 and the bottom surface T60, find the upstream position and input point of the delta lobe provenance input.

[0071] In Figure 2In it, taking the input point as the origin, a series of seismic profiles S passing through the delta lobe are extracted in the 3D seismic work area at an interval of 15° included angle. i (i = 0, 1, 2,...). In the above seismic profiles, according to the included angle of the delta wedge, the seismic profile with the largest included angle of the delta wedge is determined as the main provenance profile S0.

[0072] As Figure 3 shown, on the main provenance profile S0, trace the top boundary and the bottom boundary of the delta lobe. According to the difference between the top boundary and the bottom boundary, find the position with the largest difference, and determine the point where the top boundary is located at this position as point P0. The maximum thickness value corresponding to point P0 is H0 = 176 m.

[0073] Similarly, in Figure 2 the seismic profile S i (i = 1, 2,...), trace the top boundary and the bottom boundary of the delta lobe, and find the position point P at the top boundary where the difference between the top boundary and the bottom boundary is the largest i . On the plane, connect point P0 and point P i in sequence to obtain the water depth isoline L0, as Figure 4 shown.

[0074] As Figure 5 shown, on the above main provenance profile S0, with point P0 as the center, set a series of points K j (j = 1, 2,...) at equal intervals upstream and downstream. The thickness values of the delta lobe corresponding to these points are H j (j = 1, 2,...). Use the calculation formula of the thickness value H j and the water depth value W j to calculate the corresponding water depth values at each point. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0075]

[0076] In the above formula, W b is the normal wave base water depth obtained from literature research, W b = 20 m. Formula (1) represents the points located upstream of point P0, and this formula is used to calculate the water depth value; formula (2) represents the points located downstream of point P0, and this formula is used to calculate the water depth value.

[0077] Through the above formula, calculate the water depth values W j of the delta lobe at point K j (j = 1, 2,...). Among them, the thickness value H0 corresponding to point P0 is 176 m, and the corresponding water depth value W0 is 10 m. The water depth value corresponding to the water depth isoline L0 is set to be 10 m.

[0078] On a plane, starting from point K set on the main source profile S0 j draw a water depth contour line L parallel to the water depth contour line L0 j and set the water depth value corresponding to the water depth contour line L j as W j L j is the paleo - water depth contour line during the delta lobe deposition period, and the water depth value corresponding to each curve is W j thus obtaining the paleo - water depth contour map of the delta sedimentation area without wells, as shown in Figure 6 shown

[0079] Due to the adoption of the above - mentioned technical solutions, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0080] The present invention avoids relying on data obtained from drilling wells

[0081] The present invention avoids calculation errors of the paleo - water depth of large - scale basins

[0082] Based on the relationship between the delta lobe thickness and the paleo - water depth, the present invention can restore the paleo - water depth of the delta sedimentation area without drilling wells

[0083] In summary, the present invention can be widely applied to the method and system for compiling the paleo - water depth contour map of the delta sedimentation area without drilling wells

The electronic device may include: a processor 810, a communication interface 820, a memory 830, and a communication bus 840. Among them, the processor 810, the communication interface 820, and the memory 830 complete communication with each other through the communication bus 840. The processor 810 can call the logical instructions in the memory 830 to execute the method for compiling the paleo - water depth contour map of the delta sedimentation area without wells, and this method includes:

[0086] Step S200: Take multiple seismic profiles S passing through the delta lobe with the input point as the origin i and the multiple seismic profiles S i are set at equal - interval angles, and determine the main source profile S0 of the seismic profile with the largest angle of the delta wedge

[0087] Step S300: On the seismic profile S iTrack the top and bottom boundaries of the delta lobe, and determine the point corresponding to the position with the maximum thickness of the delta lobe on the top boundary as point P. i Among them, the point corresponding to the position with the maximum thickness of the delta lobe on the main provenance profile S0 is point P0, the thickness of the delta lobe corresponding to point P0 is H0, and the thickness of the delta lobe is the vertical distance between the top and bottom boundaries.
