Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of petroleum exploration and development technology, and specifically to a method and a system for identifying the boundaries of volcanic facies zones. Background Technology

[0002] Volcanic facies are generally classified into five major facies based on their lithology, rock fabric, and genesis: eruptive facies, effusive facies, volcanic conduit facies, and volcanic sedimentary facies. Identifying these five facies in actual seismic events presents significant challenges. In volcanic rock exploration and development, volcanic structures are typically divided into three facies zones based on their distance from the crater: crater-near-crater, near-source, and far-source. In the Songnan fault depression, the distribution of intermediate-basic volcanic gas reservoirs in the Huoshiling Formation is primarily controlled by effective reservoirs. The near-crater-near-source facies zone exhibits more developed primary porosity, a larger proportion of high-porosity and permeability zones, and higher gas concentrations. Therefore, identifying the boundary between the near-source and far-source facies zones is crucial for finding effective reservoirs. Currently, the near-source facies zone is characterized mainly by analyzing seismic reflection characteristics and geometric properties such as stratigraphic dip and coherence to determine the crater's location, thus qualitatively approximating the distribution of the near-source facies zone. However, there is still no quantitative method for predicting the boundary between the near-source and far-source facies zones of a volcanic structure.

[0003] Energy half-decay properties primarily reflect changes in seismic wave energy and are generally used to indicate variations in sedimentary environments and lithological facies. They have been applied in the identification of tight sandstones such as turbidites, but there is no evidence to prove their application in the identification of volcanic rock facies and facies zones. Due to the high volcanic velocity resulting in strong seismic reflections enveloping the volcanic structure, and the chaotic and weak reflections of eruptive facies, there are certain differences in energy half-decay times. Furthermore, during volcanic eruptions, volcanic material accumulates near the crater, resulting in thick strata near the crater. Therefore, combining these two factors can serve as a primary basis for determining the boundaries between near-source and far-source facies zones. However, existing methods can only extrapolate seismic reflection characteristics from actual drilling and combine seismic geometric properties to locate the crater and determine the approximate distribution, failing to effectively define the planar boundaries between near-source and far-source facies zones of volcanic structures. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for identifying the boundaries of facies zones in volcanic structures, so as to at least solve the problem mentioned above of the inability to accurately and effectively define the boundaries between the near-source and far-source facies zones of volcanic structures.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides a method for identifying the boundaries of volcanic facies zones, comprising:

[0021] S = volcanic sedimentary facies ÷ sum of all lithofacies;

[0022] Where S represents the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies; S below 50% indicates a near-source facies zone, and S above 50% indicates a far-source facies zone.

[0023] Optionally, the aforementioned characteristic curves include acoustic curves and density curves;

[0024] The aforementioned characteristic curves of near-source facies pseudo-wells and far-source facies pseudo-wells determine the value range corresponding to the preset type lithofacies proportion of volcanic structures, including:

[0025] Based on the acoustic and density curves of pseudo-wells in the near-source facies zone and the far-source facies zone, a two-dimensional seismic forward model was established using the convolution model, ray tracing, and wave equation methods.

[0026] Based on the two-dimensional seismic forward model, the energy half-life T curve and thickness H curve within the corresponding volcanic eruption period are calculated.

[0027] Based on the energy half-life T curve and thickness H curve within the corresponding volcanic eruption period, the R curve is calculated using the formula R=(T / H)*100. The value A corresponding to the proportion of volcanic sedimentary phases in the R curve is analyzed, and the range of values ​​for A is obtained.

[0028] Optionally, based on the value range corresponding to the pre-defined type of lithofacies proportion of the volcanic structure, the volcanic structure facies zones are divided on the characterizing facies map to obtain the boundary between the proximal and distal facies zones within the corresponding volcanic eruption period, including:

[0029] Based on the value A corresponding to the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies on the R curve, the volcanic structure facies zones are divided on the planar map characterizing the facies zones to obtain the location of the distal and proximal facies zones of the volcanic structure.

[0030] Based on the location of the distant source phasor and the near source phasor, the boundary between the near source phasor and the distant source phasor is obtained.

[0031] Optionally, the above-mentioned volcanic facies zone division on the planar map characterizing facies zones, based on the value A corresponding to the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies in the R curve, includes:

[0032] The region on the planar map with values ​​greater than A is designated as the distal phalanx of the volcanic structure, and the region with values ​​less than A is designated as the proximal phalanx of the volcanic structure.

[0033] Optionally, the above-mentioned 3D seismic data volume based on volcanic structure yields a planar map characterizing the facies zone, including:

[0036] According to the formula r=(t / h)*100, the planar diagram representing the phase band is obtained; where r is the planar diagram representing the corresponding parameters of the phase band.

[0037] A second aspect of the present invention provides a system for identifying the boundaries of volcanic facies zones, comprising:

[0038] The drilled facies zone delineation module is used to delineate drilled facies zones based on three-dimensional seismic reflection characteristics and the proportion of pre-defined lithofacies types in drilled wells within a single volcanic eruption period.

[0039] The pseudo-well construction module is used to construct near-source facies zone pseudo-wells and far-source facies zone pseudo-wells based on the facies zone division results of drilled wells and the characteristic curves corresponding to various rock types in a single volcanic eruption period of drilled wells.

[0045] The above technical solution provides a method and system for identifying facies boundaries of volcanic structures. Based on three-dimensional seismic reflection characteristics and the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies in drilled wells within a single volcanic eruption period, the facies zone division of drilled wells is determined. Based on the facies zone division results of drilled wells and the corresponding characteristic curves of various rock types within a single volcanic eruption period, pseudo-wells of near-source and far-source facies zones are constructed. According to the characteristic curves of the near-source and far-source facies zone pseudo-wells, the range of values ​​corresponding to the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies in the volcanic structure is determined. Based on the range of values ​​corresponding to the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies in the volcanic structure, facies zone division of the volcanic structure is performed on a planar map representing the facies zones obtained by interpreting the three-dimensional seismic data of the volcanic structure, thus obtaining the boundary between the near-source and far-source facies zones within the corresponding volcanic eruption period. Therefore, this method and system can quantitatively, accurately, and effectively define the boundary between near-source and far-source facies zones, quickly focusing on favorable near-source facies zones of volcanic structures, which is beneficial for further searching for effective volcanic reservoirs, thereby laying the foundation for exploration targets.

[0058] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0059] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for identifying the boundary of a volcanic facies zone according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of another method for identifying volcanic phagocytic zone boundaries provided by one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for identifying the boundary of a volcanic facies zone, comprising:

[0060] S110: Based on the three-dimensional seismic reflection characteristics and the proportion of pre-defined lithofacies types in drilled wells within a single volcanic eruption period, the drilled well facies zones are divided.

[0061] Among them, the proportion of the preset type of lithofacies is the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies S.

[0062] In some embodiments of this example, the above-mentioned division of drilled facies zones based on three-dimensional seismic reflection characteristics and the proportion of pre-defined lithofacies types in drilled wells within a single volcanic eruption period includes: dividing drilled facies zones based on three-dimensional seismic reflection characteristics and the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies in drilled wells within a single volcanic eruption period: S = volcanic sedimentary facies ÷ sum of all lithofacies; where S represents the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies, S less than 50% is a near-source facies zone, and S greater than 50% is a far-source facies zone.

[0063] Specifically, by utilizing the proportions of five lithofacies in drilled wells during a single volcanic eruption and combining this with three-dimensional seismic reflection characteristics, the facies zones of drilled wells are determined based on the proportion S of volcanic sedimentary facies. Using S = 50% as a benchmark, a proportion S below 50% indicates a near-source facies zone, while a proportion S above 50% indicates a distant-source facies zone. This achieves the purpose of determining the facies zones of drilled wells.

[0064] S120: Based on the results of the facies zone division of drilled wells and the characteristic curves corresponding to various rock types in a single volcanic eruption, pseudo-wells of near-source facies zone and pseudo-wells of far-source facies zone are constructed.

[0065] In some embodiments of this example, the method for identifying the boundaries of volcanic facies zones further includes: dividing volcanic eruption periods based on drilled well data; dividing lithofacies based on the lithofacies within each eruption period to obtain lithofacies division results; wherein the lithofacies division results include eruptive facies, effusive facies, intrusive facies, volcanic conduit facies, and volcanic sedimentary facies.

[0066] For example, the aforementioned drilled well data includes drilled well logging and core data.

[0067] Specifically, based on the drilling, logging and coring data, the volcanic eruption periods are divided into five lithofacies: eruptive facies, effusive facies, intrusive facies, volcanic conduit facies, and volcanic sedimentary facies.

[0068] In some embodiments of this example, the aforementioned characteristic curves include acoustic curves and density curves; the construction of near-source facies zone pseudo-wells and far-source facies zone pseudo-wells based on the facies zone division results of drilled wells and the characteristic curves corresponding to various rock types in a single volcanic eruption period of drilled wells includes: determining the acoustic curves and density curves of eruptive facies, effusive facies, and volcanic sedimentary facies based on the acoustic curves and density curves of drilled wells and the facies division results; constructing near-source facies zone pseudo-wells using the acoustic curves and density curves of eruptive facies and effusive facies of drilled wells based on the facies zone division results of drilled wells, and constructing far-source facies zone pseudo-wells using the acoustic curves and density curves of volcanic sedimentary facies of drilled wells.

[0069] Specifically, using the sonic and density curves from drilled wells, along with lithofacies classification results, the sonic and density curves of the eruptive, effusive, and volcanic sedimentary facies were identified. Then, using these curves, along with the existing well facies zone classification results, pseudo-well characteristics were pieced together to construct pseudo-wells a and b. Pseudo-wells a and b each represent only one volcanic eruption period. Within this single eruption period, the sonic and density curves of pseudo-well a are represented by the sonic and density curves of the drilled eruptive and effusive facies, indicating pseudo-well a is a near-source facies zone. Similarly, the sonic and density curves of pseudo-well b within the same eruption period are represented by the sonic and density curves of the drilled volcanic sedimentary facies, indicating pseudo-well b is a far-source facies zone. This achieves the goal of constructing near-source and far-source facies zone pseudo-wells.

[0070] S130: Based on the characteristic curves of near-source facies zone pseudo-wells and far-source facies zone pseudo-wells, determine the value range corresponding to the preset type lithofacies proportion of volcanic structures.

[0071] The pre-defined type of lithofacies proportion is the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies.

[0072] In some embodiments of this example, the aforementioned characteristic curves include acoustic curves and density curves; the determination of the value range corresponding to the pre-defined type facies proportion of the volcanic structure based on the characteristic curves of near-source facies pseudo-wells and far-source facies pseudo-wells includes: establishing a two-dimensional seismic forward model using convolution model, ray tracing, and wave equation methods based on the acoustic and density curves of near-source facies pseudo-wells and far-source facies pseudo-wells; calculating the energy half-decay time T curve and thickness H curve within the corresponding volcanic eruption period based on the two-dimensional seismic forward model; calculating the R curve using the formula R = (T / H) * 100 based on the energy half-decay time T curve and thickness H curve within the corresponding volcanic eruption period, analyzing the value A corresponding to the volcanic sedimentary facies proportion on the R curve, and obtaining the value range of value A. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the curves during a volcanic eruption period provided by one embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the upper half of the figure is a two-dimensional seismic forward model of two pseudo-wells. The well on the left is the well that actually encountered the eruptive facies, and the well on the right is the well that was designed to encounter the volcanic sedimentary facies. The lower half of the figure shows the curves extracted during a volcanic eruption period. The light gray curve is the T curve with the extracted energy half-decay, and the dark gray curve is the R curve obtained by dividing the thickness by the energy half-decay.

[0073] Specifically, using the sonic and density curves of the constructed pseudo-wells a and b, a two-dimensional seismic forward model was established using convolution, ray tracing, and wave equation methods. This model was then used to calculate the energy half-decay time (T) curve and thickness (H) curve for the corresponding volcanic eruption period (where thickness H is obtained by subtracting the top surface from the bottom surface of the volcanic structure). The R curve was calculated using the formula R = (T / H) * 100. The value A corresponding to the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies on the R curve was analyzed; the range of values ​​for A represents the range of values ​​corresponding to the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies in the volcanic structure. This method considers both the energy half-decay time (T) curve and the thickness (H) curve. By constructing the R curve and finding the value A on it that matches the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies, it can more accurately reflect the range of values ​​corresponding to the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies in the volcanic structure.

[0074] It should be noted that the energy half-decay attribute is obtained by calculating the relative time position when the seismic reflected wave energy reaches half within a given analysis time window. The basic algorithm is to first calculate the cumulative amplitude of each sampling point within the given time window, then divide the obtained amplitude sum E by 2 to obtain the half-energy of the time window Ef = E / 2; analyze the time window position corresponding to the half-energy, and divide the number of sampling points n corresponding to that position by the total number of sampling points m in the entire time window to obtain the energy half-decay time T = n / m at that position.

[0075] S140: A three-dimensional seismic data volume based on volcanic structure, yielding a planar map characterizing the facies zone;

[0076] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a planar diagram of the energy half-decay of a volcanic mechanism provided in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a thickness map of a volcanic eruption phase provided by one embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments of this embodiment, the above-mentioned three-dimensional seismic data volume based on the volcanic structure is used to obtain a planar map representing the phase zone, including: obtaining a planar map t of the energy half-decay time of a single volcanic eruption phase, the bottom surface and the top surface of the volcanic structure based on the three-dimensional seismic data volume based on the volcanic structure; calculating a planar map of the thickness h of a single volcanic eruption phase based on the bottom surface and the top surface of the volcanic structure based on the single volcanic eruption phase; and obtaining a planar map representing the phase zone according to the formula r = (t / h) * 100; where r is a planar map representing the parameters corresponding to the phase zone.

[0077] Specifically, the bottom and top surfaces of each volcanic eruption are interpreted on the three-dimensional seismic data volume of the volcanic structure. The energy half-decay plane diagram t of a single volcanic eruption is extracted, and the thickness plane h of a single volcanic eruption is calculated. The energy half-decay plane diagram t is divided by the thickness plane diagram h of the corresponding volcanic eruption to obtain the plane diagram of the parameter r representing the phase zone, r = (t / h)*100.

[0078] S150: Based on the range of values ​​corresponding to the pre-defined type of facies proportion of the volcanic structure, the facies zones of the volcanic structure are divided on the plane map representing the facies zones, and the boundary between the near-source facies zone and the far-source facies zone within the corresponding volcanic eruption period is obtained.

[0079] In some embodiments of this example, the above-mentioned method of dividing volcanic facies zones on a planar map representing facies zones based on the value range corresponding to the preset type facies proportion of the volcanic structure, to obtain the boundary between the near-source and far-source facies zones within the corresponding volcanic eruption period, includes: dividing volcanic facies zones on a planar map representing facies zones based on the value A corresponding to the volcanic sedimentary facies proportion on the R curve, to obtain the location of the far-source and near-source facies zones of the volcanic structure; wherein, the area on the planar map with a value greater than A is taken as the far-source facies zone of the volcanic structure, and the area with a value less than A is taken as the near-source facies zone of the volcanic structure. Based on the location of the far-source and near-source facies zones, the boundary between the near-source and far-source facies zones is obtained. Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6This is a planar distribution diagram of volcanic facies zones provided by one embodiment of the present invention, wherein the black boundary is the boundary between the near-source facies zone and the far-source facies zone of the volcanic structure. The thick black line represents the range A, the area inside the thick black line (i.e., the area enclosed by the thick black line) is the near-source facies zone, and the area outside the thick black line (i.e., the area not enclosed by the thick black line) is the far-source facies zone.

[0080] In the above implementation process, this method determines the facies zone division of drilled wells based on 3D seismic reflection characteristics and the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies in a single volcanic eruption period. Based on the facies zone division results of drilled wells and the corresponding characteristic curves of various rock types within a single volcanic eruption period, pseudo-wells of near-source and far-source facies zones are constructed. According to the characteristic curves of the near-source and far-source facies zone pseudo-wells, the range of values ​​corresponding to the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies in the volcanic structure is determined. Based on the range of values ​​corresponding to the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies in the volcanic structure, facies zone division of the volcanic structure is performed on a planar map representing the facies zones obtained by interpreting the 3D seismic data of the volcanic structure, thus obtaining the boundary between the near-source and far-source facies zones within the corresponding volcanic eruption period. Therefore, this method can quantitatively, accurately, and effectively define the boundary between near-source and far-source facies zones, quickly focusing on favorable near-source facies zones of the volcanic structure, which is beneficial for further searching for effective volcanic reservoirs, thereby laying the foundation for exploration targets.

[0081] Figure 7 This is a block diagram of a system for identifying the boundaries of volcanic facies zones according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a system for identifying the boundary of a volcanic phagocytic structure, comprising:

[0082] The drilled facies zone delineation module is used to delineate drilled facies zones based on three-dimensional seismic reflection characteristics and the proportion of pre-defined lithofacies types in drilled wells within a single volcanic eruption period.

[0083] The pseudo-well construction module is used to construct near-source facies zone pseudo-wells and far-source facies zone pseudo-wells based on the facies zone division results of drilled wells and the characteristic curves corresponding to various types of rocks in a single volcanic eruption period of drilled wells.

[0084] The value range determination module is used to determine the value range corresponding to the pre-defined type facies proportion of volcanic structures based on the characteristic curves of near-source facies pseudo-wells and far-source facies pseudo-wells.

[0085] The planar plot module is used to obtain planar plots representing facies zones from 3D seismic data volumes based on volcanic mechanisms.

[0086] The volcanic structure facies zone division module is used to divide the volcanic structure facies zones on a planar map representing facies zones according to the value range corresponding to the preset type of rock facies proportion of the volcanic structure, and obtain the boundary between the near-source facies zone and the far-source facies zone within the corresponding volcanic eruption period.

[0087] Specifically, this system determines the facies zone division of drilled wells based on 3D seismic reflection characteristics and the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies in a single volcanic eruption. Based on the facies zone division results and the characteristic curves corresponding to various rock types within a single volcanic eruption, pseudo-wells of near-source and far-source facies zones are constructed. The characteristic curves of these pseudo-wells are used to determine the range of values ​​corresponding to the proportion of volcanic sedimentary facies in the volcanic structure. Based on this range, facies zones are divided on a planar map representing the facies zones obtained from the 3D seismic data volume interpretation of the volcanic structure, thus identifying the boundaries between near-source and far-source facies zones within the corresponding volcanic eruption period. This system enables the quantitative, accurate, and effective definition of the boundaries between near-source and far-source facies zones, quickly focusing on favorable near-source facies zones within the volcanic structure, facilitating the further search for effective volcanic reservoirs and laying the foundation for exploration targets.
