Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of petroleum and natural gas geological exploration, specifically to a three-dimensional seismic assessment method for the activity of co-sedimentary faults on gentle slopes of carbonate rocks. Background Technology
[0002] Co-sedimentary faults play a controlling role in the paleogeographic patterns and sedimentary facies distribution of tectonically active areas. The study of co-sedimentary fault activity rates is of great value in regional tectonic evolution, prediction of favorable sedimentary facies distribution, and characterization of lithological traps, and is a crucial step in the analysis of regional petroleum geological conditions.
[0003] Currently, the main methods for quantitatively studying the activity rate of syn-sedimentary faults include the growth index method, paleodisplacement method, fault activity rate method, fault displacement-length relationship analysis method, and paleoslip method (Lei Baohua. A review of the main methods for quantitatively studying the activity intensity of growth faults [J]. Advances in Earth Science, 2012, 27(9):947-956). These methods can reflect the activity intensity and changes of syn-sedimentary faults from different perspectives, but in general, they have problems such as a lack of effective constraints on fault activity time, complex paleotectonic reconstruction processes, and difficulty in applying them to studies related to gentle slopes of carbonate rocks. Compared with traditional two-dimensional seismic data, these problems are more prominent when using three-dimensional seismic data to study syn-sedimentary faults.
[0004] For syn-sedimentary carbonate rocks, due to the flat paleotopography and similar platform subsidence rates, the carbonate deposition rates in different regions are comparable when unaffected by syn-sedimentary fault activity. Therefore, the apparent fault distance between the two sides of a fault during tectonic activity and its corresponding time span can reflect the fault's activity rate during that period. To improve the accuracy of quantitative assessment of the activity of syn-sedimentary carbonate rocks, this invention optimizes the calculation method for the apparent fault distance and its corresponding time span during fault activity periods, and establishes a three-dimensional seismic assessment method for the activity of syn-sedimentary carbonate rocks. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing technical solutions lack effective methods for constraining fault activity time, have complex paleotectonic reconstruction processes, and are difficult to apply to the study of tectonic-sedimentary evolution of carbonate gentle slopes. The goal is to provide a three-dimensional seismic assessment method for the activity of syn-sedimentary faults on carbonate gentle slopes. By selecting strata without obvious sedimentary discontinuities and establishing a sequence stratigraphic framework to constrain the calculation of fault activity time, the accuracy of quantitative assessment of syn-sedimentary fault activity is improved. Furthermore, by applying the built-in seismic profile paleotectonic reconstruction module of the Petrel geological interpretation software to reconstruct paleotectonic patterns during fault activity, the accuracy of calculating apparent fault displacement during fault activity is improved, and the paleotectonic reconstruction process is simplified.
[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A three-dimensional seismic assessment method for the activity of syn-sedimentary faults on gentle slopes of carbonate rocks, the method comprising:
[0008] In the 3D seismic data volume, fault plane interpretation is performed on syn-depositional faults and stratigraphic plane interpretation is performed on fault-related strata to obtain fault plane-stratigraphic plane interpretation results.
[0009] Based on the pre-constructed evaluation selection rules, strata for evaluating fault activity are selected from the fault-stratigraphic interpretation results, and a sequence stratigraphic framework is constructed using the selected strata; and the sedimentary time of the strata during the fault activity period is calculated using the time corresponding to the sequence stratigraphic boundaries of the sequence stratigraphic framework.
[0010] Based on the pre-constructed seismic profile selection rules, multiple seismic profiles are selected from the fault-stratum layer interpretation results, and the fault trajectory line and stratum layer trajectory line passing through each seismic profile are obtained.
[0011] By using the fault plane trajectory lines and stratigraphic plane trajectory lines of each seismic profile, combined with the stratigraphic deposition time during the fault activity period, the average fault activity rate of each seismic profile at different periods is calculated.
[0012] The activity of syn-depositional faults is assessed based on the average fault activity rate at different times for each seismic profile, resulting in seismic assessment results.
[0013] Furthermore, fault plane interpretation is performed on syn-sedimentary faults and stratigraphic plane interpretation is performed on fault-related strata within the 3D seismic data volume, yielding fault plane-stratigraphic plane interpretation results, specifically:
[0014] In the three-dimensional seismic data volume, the pre-set seismic survey line grid is used to perform fault layer interpretation on the same sedimentary fault, and the fault layer interpretation results are obtained.
[0015] Based on the fault-related strata interpretation results, the fault-related strata are obtained, and the stratigraphic plane interpretation of the fault-related strata is performed using a preset seismic survey grid, resulting in fault-stratigraphic plane interpretation results.
[0016] Furthermore, based on pre-constructed evaluation selection rules, strata for assessing fault activity are selected from the fault-stratum interpretation results, and a sequence stratigraphic framework is constructed using the selected strata. The depositional time of the strata during fault activity is calculated using the time corresponding to the sequence stratigraphic boundaries of the sequence stratigraphic framework. Specifically:
[0017] In the fault-stratigraphic interpretation results, strata that have been continuously deposited during geological history are selected to assess fault activity.
[0018] Conduct comparative studies of seismic stratigraphy and well logging stratigraphy on the selected lithostratigraphic units to construct a sequence stratigraphic framework;
[0019] By using the time corresponding to the sequence stratigraphic boundaries of the sequence stratigraphic framework, the stratigraphic deposition time during the fault activity period can be calculated.
[0020] Furthermore, based on the pre-constructed seismic profile selection rules, multiple seismic profiles are selected from the fault-stratum plane interpretation results, and the fault plane trajectory line and stratum plane trajectory line passing through each seismic profile are obtained, specifically:

[0022] Furthermore, using the fault plane trajectory lines and stratigraphic plane trajectory lines of each seismic profile, combined with the stratigraphic deposition time during the fault activity period, the average fault activity rate of each seismic profile at different periods was calculated, specifically:
[0023] Using paleotectonic reconstruction software, fault plane trajectory lines and stratigraphic plane trajectory lines of each seismic profile are used to perform paleotectonic reconstruction interpretation of the strata at the end of the stratigraphic deposition period, and the horizontal and vertical apparent fault displacements after paleotectonic reconstruction are read from the reconstruction interpretation results.
[0024] By using the horizontal and vertical apparent fault displacements reconstructed from paleotectonic structures, as well as the stratigraphic deposition time during the fault activity period, the average fault activity rate of each seismic profile at different periods was calculated.
[0025] Furthermore, using the horizontal and vertical apparent fault displacements reconstructed from paleotectonic data, as well as the stratigraphic deposition time during fault activity, the average fault activity rate for each seismic profile at different periods was calculated, specifically: V = / T, where V represents the average fault activity rate. Indicates the horizontal apparent displacement of the fault. The vertical apparent fault displacement is represented by T, which represents the sedimentary time of the strata during the period of fault activity.

[0030] The activity rate calculation module is used to calculate the average fault activity rate of each seismic profile at different periods by using the fault plane trajectory line and the stratigraphic plane trajectory line of each seismic profile, combined with the deposition time of each set of strata during the fault activity period.

[0048] Example 1
[0049] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of a three-dimensional seismic assessment method for the activity of syn-sedimentary faults on gentle slopes of carbonate rocks is shown, wherein the method includes:
[0050] S1: In the 3D seismic data volume, fault plane interpretation is performed on the syn-depositional faults and stratigraphic plane interpretation is performed on the fault-related strata to obtain the fault plane-stratigraphic plane interpretation results.
[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fault-layer interpretation of the syn-depositional fault is performed using a preset seismic survey grid in the three-dimensional seismic data volume to obtain the fault-layer interpretation result; based on the fault-layer interpretation result, the fault-related strata are obtained, and the stratigraphic plane interpretation of the fault-related strata is performed using the preset seismic survey grid to obtain the fault plane-stratigraphic plane interpretation result.
[0052] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the fault plane of the same sedimentary fault F is interpreted in the 3D seismic data volume using a 10*10 seismic survey grid density (the spacing between adjacent survey lines is 25m, i.e., the sampling interval is 250m). The interpretation results show that fault F cuts through three strata: I, J, and K, meaning that I, J, and K are fault-related strata. Therefore, the same seismic survey grid is used to interpret the top and bottom surfaces of the three strata: I, J, and K. Since the three strata are continuously developed, the bottom surface of stratum I is the top surface of stratum J, and the bottom surface of stratum J is the top surface of stratum K. The final interpretation results of the fault plane-stratum plane are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0053] S2: Based on the pre-constructed evaluation selection rules, select strata for evaluating fault activity from the fault-stratum interpretation results, and construct a sequence stratigraphic framework using the selected strata; and calculate the stratigraphic deposition time during the fault activity period using the time corresponding to the sequence stratigraphic boundaries of the sequence stratigraphic framework.
[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, strata that have been continuously deposited during geological history are selected from the fault-stratum interpretation results to assess fault activity; seismic stratigraphy and well logging stratigraphy are compared between the selected strata and the lithostratigraphic units to construct a sequence stratigraphic framework; and the deposition time of the strata during the fault activity period is calculated using the time corresponding to the sequence stratigraphic boundaries of the sequence stratigraphic framework.
[0055] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, sedimentary analysis of the three strata (I, J, and K) shows that none of them have obvious sedimentary discontinuities and can be considered as continuously deposited during geological history. Therefore, they can all be used to assess the activity rate of the syn-sedimentary fault F. Simultaneously, using 3D seismic and drilling data, a comparative seismic stratigraphy and well logging study was conducted on the Upper Cretaceous lithostratigraphic units containing the three strata (I, J, and K). The resulting sequence stratigraphic framework is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, from bottom to top, strata K, J, and I correspond to the second and third transgressive systems tracts and the first regressive systems tract of the Upper Cretaceous, respectively; subsequently, referring to historical sea-level change data of the Cretaceous region, a correspondence between the sequence stratigraphic framework and the regional sea-level change curve was established. Figure 3 Based on the ages of each sequence boundary provided in historical data, the geological time T1 corresponding to the bottom of stratum K is 88 Ma, and the geological time T2 corresponding to the top of stratum K is 85 Ma; the geological time T1 corresponding to the bottom of stratum J is 85 Ma, and the geological time T2 corresponding to the top of stratum J is 81 Ma; the geological time T1 corresponding to the bottom of stratum I is 81 Ma, and the geological time T2 corresponding to the top of stratum I is 75 Ma. Using the formula for calculating the sedimentary time T: T = T2 - T1, we can obtain that the sedimentary time of stratum K is 3 Ma, the sedimentary time of stratum J is 4 Ma, and the sedimentary time of stratum I is 6 Ma.
[0056] S3: Based on the pre-constructed seismic profile selection rules, multiple seismic profiles are selected from the fault-stratum plane interpretation results, and the fault plane trajectory line and stratum plane trajectory line passing through each seismic profile are obtained.
[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple seismic profiles are selected from the fault-stratum interpretation results at preset horizontal intervals, and the fault trajectory line and stratum trajectory line passing through each seismic profile are obtained.
[0058] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the trace spacing of the three-dimensional seismic data volume of the study area is 25m, and the horizontal spacing of the selected seismic profiles is set to 1km, that is, starting from the profile cut through by the fault, one seismic profile is selected every 40 traces; and the trajectory lines of the same sedimentary fault F and the I, J, K strata that have picked up these seismic profiles.
[0059] S4: Using the fault plane trajectory line and stratigraphic plane trajectory line of each seismic profile, combined with the stratigraphic deposition time during the fault activity period, the average fault activity rate of each seismic profile at different periods is calculated.
[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, paleotectonic reconstruction software is used to interpret the strata at the end of the stratigraphic deposition period by utilizing the fault plane trajectory lines and stratigraphic plane trajectory lines of each seismic profile. The horizontal and vertical apparent fault displacements after paleotectonic reconstruction are read from the reconstruction results. Using the horizontal and vertical apparent fault displacements after paleotectonic reconstruction and the stratigraphic deposition time during the fault activity period, the average fault activity rate of each seismic profile at different periods is calculated.
[0061] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the built-in paleotectonic reconstruction and interpretation module of the Petrel geological software is used to perform paleotectonic reconstruction and interpretation of a certain stratum at the end of its depositional period. The horizontal apparent fault displacement X and vertical apparent fault displacement Y are read from the reconstruction and interpretation results. Then, using the stratum depositional time T, the horizontal apparent fault displacement X, and the vertical apparent fault displacement Y, the average fault activity rate V across the seismic profile during the depositional period of this stratum is calculated, specifically: V = / T; then change to different seismic profiles and fault activity periods, repeat the above steps until the average fault activity rate of all selected strata and seismic profiles is calculated, so as to draw a line graph of the average activity rate of syn-sedimentary faults in different periods.
[0062] For example, taking seismic profile 1, which is cut through by the syn-depositional fault F, as an example, the trajectory lines of the syn-depositional fault F and the bedding planes of strata I, J, and K passing through the profile are input into the paleotectonic reconstruction and interpretation module built into the Petrel geological software. Paleotectonic reconstruction of the I, J, and K strata at the end of their depositional period is performed, using the top surfaces of strata I, J, and K as reference surfaces. The two-way travel time A and horizontal apparent fault distance X corresponding to the vertical apparent fault distance are measured on the reconstructed profile. Figure 4As shown in the figure, the two-way travel time A corresponding to the vertical apparent displacement at the end of the depositional period of stratum I is 9.0 ms, and the horizontal apparent displacement X is 14.0 m; the two-way travel time A corresponding to the vertical apparent displacement at the end of the depositional period of stratum J is 8.6 ms, and the horizontal apparent displacement X is 10.8 m; the two-way travel time A corresponding to the vertical apparent displacement at the end of the depositional period of stratum K is 10.0 ms, and the horizontal apparent displacement X is 11.8 m. Based on the analysis of the synthetic seismic records from 3D seismic data and wells, the average sound velocities S in strata I, J, and K are 3.9 m / ms, 4.3 m / ms, and 4.0 m / ms, respectively. Using the formula for calculating the vertical apparent displacement Y: Y = (A × S) / 2, where A is the two-way travel time corresponding to the vertical apparent displacement in the seismic profile, and S is the average sound velocity in the stratum, the calculated vertical apparent displacements Y for strata I, J, and K are 17.5 m, 18.5 m, and 20.0 m, respectively.
[0063] Based on the horizontal apparent displacement X, vertical apparent displacement Y, and sedimentary time T of strata I, J, and K, the formula V = / T, the average fault activity rates V of the I, J, and K strata during the depositional period through seismic profile 1 were obtained as 3.7 m / Ma, 5.4 m / Ma, and 7.7 m / Ma, respectively;
[0064] Then, horizontal intervals were selected for the seismic profiles at 1km intervals, resulting in a total of 9 seismic profiles passing through the same sedimentary fault F. After calculating the average activity rate V of the same sedimentary fault F during the depositional periods of strata I, J, and K in seismic profile 1, the seismic profiles were switched, and the same method as in step S103 was used to calculate the average activity rate of the same sedimentary fault F during the depositional periods of strata I, J, and K in seismic profiles 2-9. The statistics of the calculation results for all seismic profiles are shown in the table below.
[0065]
[0066] S5: The activity of syn-depositional faults is assessed based on the average fault activity rate at different times for each seismic profile, resulting in seismic assessment results.
[0067] For example, based on the calculation results of all seismic profiles in the table above, with the nine seismic profiles crossing faults as the horizontal axis and the activity rate of the syn-depositional fault F as the vertical axis, line graphs of the average activity rate of the syn-depositional fault during the depositional periods of strata I, J, and K are plotted, as follows. Figure 5As shown, during the deposition of strata K in geological history, fault F, which was deposited with the same sedimentary layer, exhibited the strongest relative activity, with a maximum average activity rate exceeding 20 m / Ma. Faults from the depositional periods of strata I and J showed relatively weaker activity, with a maximum average activity rate of only about 10 m / Ma. Furthermore, on the plane, the average activity rate at the intersection of seismic profile 5-8 and the fault is relatively higher, decreasing towards both sides of the fault. Therefore, it can be concluded that the main period of activity for the syn-depositional fault F was during the deposition of strata K, and the fault developed by extending outwards from the intersection of seismic profile 5-8 and the fault towards both flanks.
[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, by selecting strata without obvious sedimentary discontinuities and establishing a sequence stratigraphic framework to constrain the calculation of fault activity time, the accuracy of quantitative assessment of syn-sedimentary fault activity is improved; by applying the seismic profile paleotectonic restoration module built into the Petrel geological interpretation software to restore the paleotectonic style during fault activity, the calculation accuracy of apparent fault displacement during fault activity is improved, and the paleotectonic restoration process is simplified.
