Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of oil exploration and development technology, and in particular to a method and device for predicting stratum sedimentary bodies based on pre-stack seismic data. Background Art

[0002] my country's major oil and gas basins are primarily continental deposits, primarily composed of thin interbedded sandstone and mudstone layers. With increasing exploration efforts, these thin sand bodies have become a primary target of exploration. To improve the prediction accuracy of thin-bedded sediments, many researchers have conducted inversion algorithm research from the perspective of increasing vertical resolution, thereby predicting the thickness and distribution of thin reservoirs. These researchers have developed a variety of inversion methods, including sparse reflectance inversion, spectral inversion, waveform indicator inversion, and phase-controlled random inversion. Other researchers, based on tuning theory, have studied thin-bed spectrum, thin-bed resolution, the relationship between thin-bed peak frequency and thickness, and the relationship between thin interbed tuning and resolution. These researchers have developed thin-bed prediction methods such as spectral decomposition, peak instantaneous frequency attributes, and frequency-to-amplitude ratio attributes. Zeng Hongliu, Posamentier, and others proposed the concepts of seismic sedimentology and seismic geomorphology, respectively, leveraging the lateral resolution of seismic data. Their core concept is to detect thin beds through slice scanning, primarily encompassing two techniques: 90-degree phase shift and stratigraphic slicing. Li Guofa, Liu Huaqing, and others subsequently conducted detailed research on the challenges, rationality, and application of stratigraphic slicing.

[0003] Among some technologies, sedimentary analysis technology is mainly based on post-stack seismic data. The technology of performing stratigraphic slicing based on post-stack seismic data to carry out seismic sedimentary analysis has a close relationship between the accuracy of predicting thin sand bodies and the impedance difference between sandstone and mudstone. When the impedance difference between sandstone and mudstone is small, the post-stack seismic reflection is weak, the characteristics are not significant, and the prediction accuracy is reduced.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technology that can more accurately predict seismic sedimentation analysis. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for predicting stratum sedimentary bodies based on pre-stack seismic data, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes steps S100-S120:

[0025] S100: Generate a stratigraphic time model based on post-stack seismic data from the study area;

[0026] S110: determining a target layer according to the formation time model;

[0027] S120: Extracting sedimentary information of the target layer from the prestack seismic data of the study area using the principal component analysis method.

[0028] In an exemplary embodiment, generating a formation time model based on post-stack seismic data of a study area includes:

[0029] The first step is to establish the corresponding relationship between the reflection time of post-stack seismic data and the depth of the formation;

[0030] In this step, wells with good logging quality are generally selected to produce synthetic logs, which are then compared with the post-stack seismic data traces near the wells to establish a corresponding relationship between seismic reflection time and depth.

[0031] The second step is to determine multiple reference layers based on the geological information of the study area;

[0032] In this step, select isochronous marker seismic events as reference layers. Within the 3D seismic data volume, select marker seismic events of the same geological time as the reference layer. Typically, layers with continuous reflections, such as the largest flood (lake) surface or laterally stable coal seams, are selected. Multiple reference layers may be selected depending on the work area.

[0033] The third step is to establish a formation time model based on the corresponding relationship and the reference layer.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment, establishing a formation time model based on the corresponding relationship and the reference layer includes:

[0035] The first step is to determine a correspondence between a first geological horizon and the time of the post-stack seismic data, and a correspondence between a second geological horizon and the time of the post-stack seismic data. The first geological horizon may be the shallowest geological horizon in terms of stratigraphic depth, and the second geological horizon may be the deepest geological horizon in terms of stratigraphic depth.

[0036] The second step is to calculate the average distance or maximum distance between each two reference layers according to the pre-set sampling interval of the stratigraphic slice data volume;

[0037] Step 3: Calculate the number of interpolated stratigraphic slices between every two reference layers according to the average distance or maximum distance between every two reference layers and the sampling interval;

[0038] The fourth step is to establish a stratigraphic time model using a linear interpolation function between every two reference layers according to the number of interpolated stratigraphic slices.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, the method for extracting sedimentary information of the target layer from the prestack seismic data in the study area by using the principal component analysis method includes:

[0040] The first step: obtaining the position information of the target layer in the three-dimensional space by tracing the seismic reflection corresponding to the target layer;

[0041] In this step, the depth of the target layer is determined through well logging data, the corresponding time of the target layer is determined through the time-depth correspondence relationship, and the position information of the target layer in the three-dimensional space is obtained by tracing the seismic reflection corresponding to the target layer.

[0042] The second step: extracting the feature subspace W of the seismic data for each sampling point in the seismic data by using the principal component analysis method;

[0043] In this step, for the post-stack seismic data, there is only one data point for the target layer at each point, with little information, so the accuracy of the finally predicted sedimentary information is low. For the prestack seismic data, there are multiple data points for the target layer at each point, and these data reflect the sedimentary information of the same point from different angles. In order to obtain the sedimentary data at this point, it is first necessary to use the principal component analysis method to reduce the dimension of the data. The implementation process is as follows:

[0044] 1) Establishing the spatio-temporal matrix of the prestack seismic data

[0045] Let X be the feature map of the sampling points, that is, an n*m-dimensional seismic data matrix, where n represents the number of sampling points of each trace of seismic data, and m represents the number of traces of the prestack seismic data.

[0046] 2) In the PCA-L2, that is, the principal component analysis that applies the L2 norm to constrain and minimize the error, determining a d-dimensional (d < n) feature subspace W, where W is the feature subspace to be solved, and d is the dimension of this feature subspace, so as to minimize the following error function;

[0047] Among them, the error function is:

[0048]

[0049] Among them, X is an n*m-dimensional seismic data matrix; W is the feature subspace to be solved, and d is the dimension of this feature subspace; V is the projection coefficient of the original data on the new feature subspace; X i is the column vector of X, represents obtaining the column vector of WV, and this step only represents expanding the matrix operation into the row-column vector operation form. The column vectors of V are the obtained principal components and are arranged according to the magnitude of the singular values. Therefore, the first column is the first principal component, the second column is the second principal component, and so on.

[0050] The third step is to obtain the feature map of the sampling point according to the feature subspace W;

[0051] Optimizing this problem is equivalent to performing SVD decomposition on X and obtaining the feature map of the sampling points:

[0052]

[0053] Where X is the characteristic map of the sampling points, that is, the n*m ​​dimensional seismic data matrix, r is the number of principal components, U and V are orthogonal matrices, and D is an m*n diagonal orthogonal matrix; σ i represents the singular values ​​on the diagonal of the diagonal matrix D, u i The column vector representing the U matrix is ​​the coordinate of the data after PCA transformation; Indicates V T The column vector of the matrix is ​​the principal component data.

[0054] In this way, using SVD to process seismic data is to sum the characteristic maps corresponding to larger eigenvalues. Naturally, the horizontal phase axis can be reconstructed using the first characteristic map.

[0055] The fourth step is to obtain the sedimentary information of the target layer based on the pre-stack seismic data through the characteristic map of each sampling point in the three-dimensional space of the target layer.

[0056] The thin-layer sedimentary information volume obtained along each stratigraphic horizon in the stratigraphic time model generates a 3D sedimentary information volume.

[0057] The embodiment of the present application implements a method for predicting stratigraphic sedimentary bodies based on pre-stack seismic data. By using the principal component analysis method on the pre-stack seismic data, the present application achieves a clearer and more accurate characterization of the sedimentary bodies.

[0058] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a device for predicting stratum sediments based on pre-stack seismic data, such as Figure 2 As shown, the device includes: a memory 200 and a processor 210; the memory is used to store a program for predicting stratigraphic sedimentary bodies based on pre-stack seismic data, and the processor is used to read and execute the program for predicting stratigraphic sedimentary bodies based on pre-stack seismic data, and execute any one of the methods in the above embodiments.

[0059] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a data processing program is stored. The data processing program is used by a processor to execute the method described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0060] Example 1

[0061] The above method of predicting stratigraphic sedimentary bodies based on prestack seismic data was used to characterize the distribution range of the target thin reservoir in a certain study area. The specific implementation process is as follows: Figure 3 As shown:

[0062] 1. Generation of stratigraphic time model;

[0063] The generation of the formation time model 1 includes: establishing a time and depth correspondence relationship 101, selecting an isochronous marker seismic event as a reference layer 102, and establishing a formation time model 103. Figure 4 As shown in the synthetic seismic record of well1, the GR logging curve shows that the depth of the target layer S1 is about 2047 meters, and the corresponding seismic data time is 952 milliseconds.

[0064] 2. Extraction of thin layer sedimentation information using PCA method;

[0065] The PCA method thin layer sedimentation information extraction 2 includes: determining the target layer 201, extracting sedimentation information 202 using the PCA method, and generating a thin layer sedimentation information body based on pre-stack seismic data 203.

[0066] 3. Generate 3D sedimentary information volume based on pre-stack seismic data.

[0067] Generate 3D sedimentary information volume 3 based on pre-stack seismic data.

[0068] like Figure 5 The following is a stratigraphic slice of the S1 layer obtained using traditional methods based on post-stack seismic data. Figure 6 This is a stratigraphic slice of the S1 layer obtained based on the method of predicting stratigraphic sedimentary bodies based on prestack seismic data in the embodiment of this application. Comparing the two slices, it can be seen that both methods reflect the development of northeast-southwest river channels in the study area and can reflect the distribution pattern of large river channels, but the method of predicting stratigraphic sedimentary bodies based on prestack seismic data in the embodiment of this application obtains Figure 6 It is also obvious that a number of small rivers with northwest-southeast orientation are developed in the northwest and east of the study area, and the distribution of the rivers is clear. Figure 5 The small river channels in the northwest and east of the study area are not clearly reflected, which shows that the method of predicting stratigraphic sedimentary bodies based on pre-stack seismic data in the embodiment of the present application is obviously clearer in depicting sedimentary phenomena than the traditional method based on post-stack seismic data.
