Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of earthquake rock physics research technology, and specifically discloses a high-fidelity simulation calculation method for earthquake reflection wave response applicable to deep saline water layers. Background Technology

[0002] Deep saline aquifers are considered important reservoir targets for carbon dioxide geological sequestration due to their widespread distribution, sealing, and stability. With the improvement and development of geological seismic seismic storage technologies, forward modeling of seismic reflection response of saline aquifers has become a research hotspot in the field of seismic petrology as a key means to reveal the quantitative relationship between reservoir parameters and seismic response.

[0003] Deep saline aquifers, as "unusable" deep saline sandstone layers, are typically characterized by deep burial, strong heterogeneity, and well-developed pores and fractures, making them typical anisotropic viscoelastic media. The unique fluid properties of saline water cause the rock physical response and seismic wave propagation behavior of saline aquifers to differ significantly from traditional reservoirs. Existing forward modeling studies of saline aquifer reflections often neglect the influence of fluid properties such as saline water salinity and viscosity on the reflection response, making it difficult to obtain accurate reflection responses. Furthermore, conventional methods for calculating reflection responses often calculate the reflection coefficient of a single reflecting interface, neglecting reservoir thickness, viscoelastic properties, and multi-layer wavefield interference, thus failing to meet the requirements for high-fidelity modeling of saline aquifer reflection responses.

[0004] The Baztle-Wang formula provides a reliable means for calculating the properties of rock pore fluids. By considering formation temperature, formation pressure, and fluid salinity, it can accurately characterize the physical properties of pore fluids in saline reservoirs. The Chapman model simultaneously considers the influence of fractures and pore fluids of different scales on the viscoelastic properties of rocks, revealing the dispersion and attenuation characteristics of viscoelastic media, and providing theoretical support for analyzing the rock physical response of saline reservoirs. The propagation matrix method is a commonly used forward modeling method for seismic waves. While ensuring computational stability, it can accurately handle the reflection and transmission of P-waves and S-waves, interlayer interference, and thin-layer thickness tuning effects in multi-layered anisotropic viscoelastic media, and is suitable for simulating the seismic response of deep saline reservoirs.

[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need to propose a high-fidelity simulation calculation method for seismic reflection wave response that comprehensively considers the pore fluid properties, viscoelastic characteristics, and thickness of the saline aquifer, so as to provide theoretical support for the evaluation and optimization of carbon reservoir space in the saline aquifer.

[0236] Figures 5-9 The image shows single-channel seismic forward modeling records at different aquifer thicknesses under a 30-degree incident angle. Figure 5 This is a single-track forward modeling record of a saline aquifer with a thickness of 5m. Figure 6 This is a single-channel forward modeling record of a saline aquifer with a thickness of 10m. Figure 7 This is a single-channel forward modeling record of a saline aquifer with a thickness of 15m. Figure 8 This is a single-channel forward modeling record of a saline aquifer with a thickness of 20m. Figure 9 This is a single-channel forward modeling record of a saline aquifer with a thickness of 25m. As can be seen from the figure, the greater the thickness of the saline aquifer, the longer the time span of the top and bottom interfaces.

[0237] The calculation results from the examples demonstrate that the method of this invention has significant advantages in reflecting the seismic response of deep saline aquifers. Traditional seismic forward modeling methods often only consider the rock skeleton and ideal fluid characteristics, failing to fully characterize the influence of saline water on the propagation characteristics of seismic waves, resulting in large deviations between simulation results and reality. This invention accurately calculates saline water physical parameters by introducing the Batzle-Wang formula, characterizes the fluid-rock coupling effect by combining it with the Chapman model, and maintains the high-fidelity characteristics of the seismic response using the propagation matrix method, thus achieving a systematic simulation and analysis of the reflected wave response of deep saline aquifers. This invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies in the characterization of saline aquifer reservoirs and provides innovative technical support for the optimal selection of deep saline aquifers.
