TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of petroleum exploration technology, and provides a river facies thin sand body prediction method based on seismic bipolar transformation. BACKGROUND
[0002] The river facies has the following characteristics:
[0003] First, the rock has a clear upward-fining unit structure, and the bottom surface of the unit sand body often has a bottom scouring phenomenon;
[0004] Second, the sand body is obviously lenticular in output, and the lithofacies changes rapidly;
[0005] Third, the mineral maturity is relatively low, and the gravel components mainly include various foreign gravels;
[0006] Fourth, it has a unidirectional flow water directional structure, such as cross-bedding, and gravels are arranged in a shingle shape;
[0007] Fifth, cross-bedding is particularly developed, especially the “epsilon” type layering formed by the high-curvature river meander bar accretion and the “pi” type layering developed by the wandering river channel.
[0008] Thin sand bodies are easily formed in river facies, which refer to the sand bodies with a thickness of less than 8 m and a wide lateral distribution range, which are separated by stable mudstone layers in the interbedded sandstone and mudstone profile developed in a sedimentary basin, and the sandstone ratio is generally between 0.1 and 0.6. The lithology mainly includes siltstone, fine siltstone, fine sandstone and medium sandstone.
[0009] Among them, the thin layer problem has always been a hot research field in geophysics, and there are generally four aspects in summarizing its theory, technology and application cases:
[0010] First, the tuning effect of the thin layer is used to realize the identification and thickness calculation of the thin layer by using the tuning amplitude (MARFURT, Chen Jisong, etc.);
[0011] Second, the frequency spectrum is decomposed based on the time-frequency characteristics such as short-time Fourier transform and wavelet transform to realize qualitative and quantitative description;
[0012] Third, the high-frequency information of the drilling data is used to carry out prestack and poststack impedance inversion, geostatistics and waveform indication inversion to improve the vertical identification of the thin layer for prediction;
[0013] Fourth, the lateral resolution of the seismic data is used to realize the boundary description of the thin layer through seismic sedimentology, stratal slicing and multi-attribute description.
[0014] Seismic reflection is the comprehensive superposition of multiple reflection interfaces in space, and the diversity of sand body combination patterns will further complicate the seismic reflection characteristics, so the prediction effect is often poor.
[0015] The upper section of Guantao Formation in Chengbei 26 wellblock has a burial depth of 1200-2000m. The lithology is mainly gray fine sandstone, siltstone and interbedded brown and gray mudstone. The main oil-bearing layer is the upper section of Guantao Formation in Neogene System, which has many thin layers vertically, large thickness variation horizontally and belongs to a set of fluvial facies sandstone reservoir.
[0016] The fluvial facies reservoir generally presents high amplitude, discontinuous, parallel or sub-parallel dense reflection structure on seismic profile. The meandering river sand body in the upper section of Guantao Formation in this area has frequent channel rechanneling and fast lateral migration, which generally shows short axis, medium-strong amplitude anomaly on seismic profile. The distribution and variation of the same phase axis reflect the geological accumulation process of fluvial deposition and the difference and spatial variation of channel sand body deposition, which is the basis for describing the single channel sand body.
[0017] The sand body thickness in the upper section of Guantao Formation in Chengbei 26 wellblock is 5-8m, the single sand body thickness is thin, the frequency band of seismic data in the target layer is narrow (8-42Hz), the main frequency is low (37Hz), the ability of seismic data to distinguish thin sand body is poor, the prediction accuracy of reservoir by seismic amplitude attribute is about 60%, which cannot meet the requirements of oilfield development plan adjustment. At present, Chengbei 26 wellblock has entered the development adjustment period, and multiple rounds of research have been carried out for reservoir prediction. The prediction accuracy of sand body is high when the reservoir thickness is large and the seismic response is good. When the reservoir thickness is small and the seismic response is poor, the seismic attribute cannot reflect the change of sand body, and the appropriate frequency range of logging information in the process of logging constrained inversion is difficult to determine, and the inversion effect of thin sand layer is also poor.
[0018] The patent application No. CN201610891188.2 discloses a method for predicting fluvial facies low sand rate reservoir, and discloses the following technical features:
[0019] Step 1, fine calibration of synthetic seismic record is carried out to determine the depth range of fluvial facies low sand rate reservoir; Step 2, multiple attributes are extracted to jointly analyze the macroscopic distribution characteristics of channel body; Step 3, rock and electricity analysis is carried out to optimize the sensitive curve of reservoir indicator; Step 4, inversion is carried out by using the sensitive curve to predict the vertical distribution of reservoir.
[0020] The above patent can finely determine the distribution of fluvial facies low sand rate reservoir and reveal potential target area, so as to better guide oil and gas exploration and provide guidance and reference for prediction of other sand body reservoirs.
[0021] However, the above patent cannot accurately predict thin sand layer in fluvial facies sand body, and the description is not fine enough.
[0022] Therefore, we have invented a method for predicting fluvial facies thin sand body based on seismic bipolar transformation, which solves the above technical problems. SUMMARY
