Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of basin deep structural feature analysis, and in particular to a method for analyzing deep structural features of the Subei Basin based on three-dimensional modeling. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous maturity of 3D modeling technology and the rapid development of computer technology, widely used software includes SKUA, GOCAD, Petrel, Surpac, 3DMine, Vulcan, MicroLynx, and GSI3D. SKUA-GOCAD, a more powerful combination of SKUA and GOCAD, is currently one of the most widely used 3D geological structure modeling software in China and abroad. Its 3D capabilities are particularly powerful, including the ability to handle arbitrarily complex geological conditions; the ability to generate large-scale 3D geological grids within the constraints of complex geological structure models and use them as the basis for attribute models; and the ability to accurately match the geometric shape of the geological structure model.

[0003] Since the late 1950s, numerous studies have investigated the conditions for oil and gas accumulation, diagenetic evolution, geophysical exploration, and active fault detection within the Subei Basin, accumulating a wealth of geological and geophysical data reflecting the basin's internal sedimentary and basement structures. However, these data and research findings have yet to be effectively integrated, resulting in a lack of understanding of the complex three-dimensional morphology of the Subei Basin from the surface to the depths, as well as the three-dimensional spatial geometry of the faults at both shallow and deep depths. Therefore, a three-dimensional model of the Subei Basin is needed to analyze its deep structural characteristics. Summary of the Invention

It adopts a quantitative technical method with multi-source constraints to establish a high-resolution and high-precision three-dimensional model of the Subei Basin, revealing the geometric structural relationship between the deep and shallow parts of the fault in three-dimensional space, and analyzing the deep structural characteristics of the Subei Basin.

[0005] The deep structural characteristics analysis method of the Subei Basin based on 3D modeling in this proposal includes the following steps: Step 1: Collect multi-source data required for modeling; Step 2: Digitally process the collected multi-source data and use the software geological modeling module to establish a three-dimensional geological model of the Subei Basin; Step 3: Use the software attribute modeling module to establish the gravity, aeromagnetic, and velocity three-dimensional model of the Subei Basin; Step 4: Combine small earthquake precision positioning with fault selection to select survey lines; Step 5: Comprehensively analyze the deep structural characteristics of the Subei Basin by combining geology, gravity, aeromagnetic, and velocity profiles.

[0006] The technical solution further defined in the present invention is: Furthermore, the multi-source data in step 1 include at least one of surface traces, length, properties, slip rate, geometric structure, digital elevation model, drilling stratification, seismic reflection profile, Quaternary thickness, bedrock isopach lines, gravity and magnetism, small earthquake precise positioning, focal mechanism solution, and velocity of surface faults.

[0007] Furthermore, the geometric structure specifically includes at least one of inclination, dip, and depth.

[0008] Furthermore, the step 2 specifically adopts a quantitative technical method constrained by multi-source data to establish a three-dimensional geological model of the Subei Basin, reveal the geometric structural relationship between the deep and shallow parts of the fault in three-dimensional space, and explore the relationship between the three-dimensional geometric structure of the fault and the earthquake rupture behavior.

[0009] Furthermore, in step 3, based on the collected gravity, aeromagnetic and velocity data and the attribute modeling module under the software platform, a DSI discrete smooth interpolation method is used to establish a three-dimensional gravity, aeromagnetic and velocity model of the Subei Basin.

[0010] Furthermore, the step 4 specifically involves selecting a survey line and generating a profile diagram based on the collected small earthquake precise positioning data and fault data.

[0011] Furthermore, the step 5 specifically involves comprehensively analyzing the deep structural characteristics of the northern Jiangsu basin based on the established three-dimensional model of the northern Jiangsu basin and the generated two-dimensional cross-section.

[0012] Furthermore, the software is specifically a three-dimensional modeling software platform having a geological modeling module and a property modeling module. The geological modeling module is used to execute step 2, and the property modeling module is used to execute step 3. Specifically, it can be SKUA-GOCAD.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) The present invention provides a method for analyzing the deep structural characteristics of the Subei Basin based on three-dimensional modeling, which can establish a three-dimensional model of the geology, gravity, aeromagnetic and velocity of the Subei Basin, and then comprehensively analyze the deep structural characteristics of the Subei Basin based on its cross-sectional diagram; (2) The present invention utilizes the collected multi-source data and information, based on the SKUA-GOCAD platform, and adopts a multi-source constrained quantitative technical method to establish a high-resolution and high-precision three-dimensional model of the Subei Basin, revealing the geometric structural relationship between the deep and shallow parts of the fault in three-dimensional space, and analyzing the deep structural characteristics of the Subei Basin. It has important social and economic benefits in promoting the improvement of the comprehensive disaster prevention capacity of the Subei Basin and reducing earthquake disaster losses, and also provides an important basis for carrying out earthquake prediction and earthquake risk prevention.

This data included surface fault traces, length, properties, slip rate, geometry (dip, inclination, depth), digital elevation models, well stratigraphy, seismic reflection profiles, Quaternary thickness, bedrock isopachs, gravity and magnetic data, precise location of small earthquakes, focal mechanism solutions, and velocity data. We digitized the existing data and standardized it into a format compatible with SKUA-GOCAD. This step primarily prepared the data for 3D modeling.

[0027] Furthermore, the three-dimensional models of the aeromagnetic field and velocity field of the Subei Basin were modeled in the same way. Figure 4 、 5 shown.

[0028] Step 4: Combine small earthquake precision positioning with fault selection to select survey lines; Select survey lines based on the distribution, aggregation, and fault orientation of small earthquakes. This implementation plan selects four lines. Select Cross Section → New → From Digitized Polyline to generate a cross-section diagram, as shown in the following example: Figure 6 shown.
