[0054] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments. However, the embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative examples and should not be construed as limiting the present invention under any circumstances.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a passive continental margin basin depression-stage hydrocarbon source rock prediction method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the prediction method includes the following steps:

[0057] Step S11: Based on gravity or magnetic anomaly data of the passive continental margin basin and its adjacent areas, determine the regions favorable for source rock development during the subsidence period of the passive continental margin basin.

[0058] Step S12: Based on the interpretation of the seismic profile, delineate the subsidence strata formed during the passive continental margin basin subsidence period and determine the total subsidence of the subsidence strata.

[0059] Step S13: Decompact the subsidence strata, correct the paleowater depth and load settlement, and recover the tectonic settlement from the total settlement of the subsidence strata.

[0060] Step S14: Based on the regional tectonic evolution background and chronostratigraphic understanding of passive continental margin basins, define the development time of the depression strata.

[0061] Step S15: Calculate the subsidence rate of the passive continental margin basin during the subsidence period based on the tectonic subsidence amount and development time; specifically, calculate the subsidence rate of the passive continental margin basin during the subsidence period based on v = s / t, where s is the tectonic subsidence amount and t is the development time of the subsidence strata.

[0062] Step S16: Based on the settling rate, predict the quality and extent of source rocks in areas conducive to source rock development.

[0063] This invention, through defining the confined environment during the subsidence period and restoring the subsidence rate during the subsidence period, predicts the quality and distribution range of high-quality source rocks during the subsidence period. This enables rapid and effective prediction of the planar distribution of high-quality source rocks during the subsidence period, even in passive continental margin basins with limited seismic and well logging data. It fills the gaps in current research on the prediction of the distribution of high-quality source rocks during the subsidence period in passive continental margin basins, overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies, and thus strongly supports the selection of overseas strategic areas and the evaluation of new projects.

[0064] In some embodiments, step S11 specifically includes: performing wavelet transform on gravity and magnetic anomaly data of the passive continental margin basin and its adjacent areas, and characterizing the planar distribution of the transform faults during the subsidence period of the passive continental margin basin based on the wavelet transform results; specifically, using gravity and magnetic anomaly data of the passive continental margin basin and its adjacent areas, selecting the Daubechies5 wavelet to perform two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform, and characterizing the first-order and second-order planar distribution of the transform faults during the subsidence period of the passive continental margin basin.

[0065] Based on the planar distribution of transform faults and seismic profiles, the confined environment formed by the marginal highlands and continental blocks controlled by transform faults during the passive continental margin basin depression period is determined. Based on this confined environment, areas favorable for hydrocarbon source rock development are identified. Specifically, by integrating repetitive or magnetic anomaly data and seismic profiles, the confined environment formed by the marginal highlands and continental blocks controlled by transform faults during the passive continental margin basin depression period is characterized, and favorable areas for hydrocarbon source rock development are identified.

[0066] In some embodiments, step S13 specifically includes: decompacting the depression strata to obtain compaction settlement; correcting the depression strata for paleodepth and load settlement to obtain water depth change and load settlement; and removing compaction settlement, water depth change, and load settlement from the total settlement of the depression strata to recover the tectonic settlement. Specifically, using drilling data, decompacting (Formula ①) and correcting for paleodepth and load settlement (Formula ②) are performed on the depression strata to recover the tectonic settlement from the total settlement S13. t After removing the compaction settlement x (Formula ③), water depth change w, and load settlement l, the structural settlement s (Formula ④) is recovered.

[0067]

[0068] l = X o (ρ m -ρ s ) / (ρ m -ρ w )……………………………………………………………②

[0069] x = X o -(X2-X1)………………………………………………………………③

[0070] s = S t -xwl……………………………………………………………………④

[0071] In equations ①-④, φ o Where C is the surface porosity of the sediment, and X is the compaction coefficient. o ρ represents the original sedimentary thickness of the depression strata, X1 and X2 are the top and bottom depths of the depression strata, respectively. m ρ w and ρ s These are mantle density, water density, and sediment density, respectively; S t denoted as the total settlement of the depression strata, x as the compaction settlement, w as the water depth change, l as the load settlement, and s as the tectonic settlement.

[0072] In some embodiments, step S14 specifically includes: determining the geological age of the top and bottom interfaces of the depression system in the passive continental margin basin based on the regional tectonic evolution background and chronostratigraphic understanding of the passive continental margin basin, and determining the development time t of the depression system based on the geological age of the top and bottom interfaces of the depression system.

[0073] In some embodiments, step S16 specifically includes: comparing the subsidence rate with a preset subsidence rate range; when the subsidence rate is within the preset subsidence rate range, it is determined that high-quality source rocks are developed within the confined environment of the passive continental margin basin during the subsidence period; and predicting the distribution range of high-quality source rocks based on areas favorable for source rock development. Specifically, the quality of source rocks developed during the subsidence period is determined based on the calculated subsidence rate v. For example, if the calculated subsidence rate is 56.6 m / Ma, combined with geological statistical laws, a subsidence rate range of 30-150 m / Ma is most favorable for the enrichment of organic matter. In this case, it can be determined that the area has high-quality source rocks. Combined with the area determined in step S12, the distribution range of high-quality source rocks can be determined.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] Taking passive continental margin basin A as an example, this paper illustrates the method for predicting high-quality source rocks:

[0076] S21. Using magnetic anomaly data from passive continental margin basin A and its adjacent areas, wavelet transform is performed to finely identify the planar distribution of first-order transform fault I and secondary transform faults, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0077] S22, combining magnetic anomaly data and seismic profiles, characterizes the marginal highlands controlled by the A-transform fault I in the passive continental margin basin and the confined environment formed by the block (e.g., Figure 3 As shown in the figure, areas favorable for the development of hydrocarbon source rocks are clearly identified.

[0078] S23: Based on seismic profile interpretation, the main unconformities were identified, stratigraphic infill patterns were analyzed, and the thickness of the A-depression strata in the passive continental margin basin was determined to be approximately 1000 km (e.g., Figure 3 and Figure 2 (AA')

[0079] S24: Using drilling data, decompaction, paleowater depth, and load settlement corrections were performed on the A-depression strata of the passive continental margin basin. The tectonic subsidence 's' was recovered from the total subsidence of the strata. The tectonic subsidence of the A-depression strata in the passive continental margin basin is approximately 3000 km² (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (As shown).

[0080] S25: Based on the regional tectonic evolution background and chronostratigraphic understanding of the passive continental margin basin, the geological ages of the top and bottom interfaces of the A-depression strata in the passive continental margin basin are 147 Ma and 200 Ma, respectively. Therefore, the development time t of the A-depression strata in the passive continental margin basin is determined to be approximately 53 Ma (e.g., Figure 3 (as shown);

[0081] S26: Based on v = s / t, the subsidence rate during the A-depression period of the passive continental margin basin is calculated to be 56.6 m / Ma (e.g., Figure 4 As shown), combined with geological statistical laws (the enrichment of organic matter is most favorable when the subsidence rate is 30-150 m / Ma), it is determined that high-quality source rocks were developed in the confined environment during the A-depression period of the passive continental margin basin. Combined with S22, it is predicted that within the confined environment formed by the marginal highlands and landmasses during the A-depression period of the passive continental margin basin ( Figure 1 The hydrocarbon source rock furnace in the middle has high-quality hydrocarbon source rocks.

[0082] Example 3

[0083] Taking passive continental margin basin B as an example, this paper specifically illustrates the prediction method for high-quality source rocks:

[0084] S31: Wavelet transform was performed on gravity anomaly data of passive continental margin basin A and its adjacent areas to finely characterize the planar distribution of first-order transform fault II and its secondary transform faults (e.g., Figure 5 (as shown);

[0085] S32: Combining gravity anomaly data and seismic profiles, it characterizes the passive continental margin basin B ( Figure 5 and Figure 6 (As shown) The marginal highlands controlled by the activity of the transform fault II and the confined environment formed by the landmass clearly define the areas conducive to the preservation of organic matter;

[0086] S33: Based on seismic profile interpretation, the main unconformity surfaces were identified, stratigraphic infill patterns were analyzed, and the thickness of the strata in the passive continental margin basin B depression was determined to be approximately 800m (e.g., Figure 6 and Figure 5 (as shown in BB');

[0087] S34: Using drilling data, decompaction, paleowater depth, and load settlement corrections were performed on the strata of the passive continental margin basin B. From the total settlement of the strata, the tectonic settlement 's' of the passive continental margin basin B was reconstructed to be approximately 2400 m (e.g., ...). Figure 7 (as shown);

[0088] S35: The geological ages of the top and bottom interfaces of the B-depression strata in the passive continental margin basin are 145 Ma and 173 Ma, respectively. Based on this, the development time t of the B-depression strata in the passive continental margin basin is determined to be approximately 28 Ma (e.g., Figure 6 (as shown);

[0089] S36: Based on v = s / t, the subsidence rate during the B-stage (deep-water subsidence layer) of the passive continental margin basin is calculated to be 85.7 m / Ma (e.g., Figure 7 As shown), combined with geological statistical laws (the enrichment of organic matter is most favorable when the subsidence rate is between 30-150 m / Ma), it is determined that high-quality source rocks were developed in the confined environment of the passive continental margin basin during the B-depression period. Combined with step 2, it is predicted that within the confined environment formed by the marginal highlands and landmasses of the passive continental margin basin during the B-depression period ( Figure 5 The source rocks in the reservoir are of high quality.

[0090] Example 4

[0091] Figure 8 This is a structural block diagram of a passive continental margin basin depression-stage hydrocarbon source rock prediction device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 8 As shown, the device includes:

[0092] The determination module 110 is used to determine the areas favorable for the development of source rocks during the depression period of the passive continental margin basin based on gravity or magnetic anomaly data of the passive continental margin basin and its adjacent areas.

[0093] The determination module 110 performs wavelet transform on gravity and magnetic anomaly data of the passive continental margin basin and its adjacent areas. Based on the wavelet transform results, it characterizes the planar distribution of transform faults during the subsidence period of the passive continental margin basin. Specifically, the determination module 110 uses gravity and magnetic anomaly data of the passive continental margin basin and its adjacent areas, selects the Daubechies5 wavelet for two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform, and characterizes the first-order and second-order planar distributions of transform faults during the subsidence period of the passive continental margin basin. Based on the planar distribution of transform faults and seismic profiles, it determines the confined environment formed by the marginal highlands and landmasses controlled by the transform faults during the subsidence period of the passive continental margin basin, and identifies areas favorable for hydrocarbon source rock development based on this confined environment. Specifically, by combining gravity and magnetic anomaly data and seismic profiles, it characterizes the confined environment formed by the marginal highlands and landmasses controlled by the transform faults during the subsidence period of the passive continental margin basin, and clarifies favorable areas for hydrocarbon source rock development.

[0094] The division and determination module 120 is used to divide the subsidence strata formed during the subsidence period of the passive continental margin basin based on the interpretation of seismic profiles, and to determine the total subsidence of the subsidence strata.

[0095] Specifically, the division and determination module 120, based on the interpretation of seismic profiles, identifies the main unconformities, analyzes the stratigraphic filling patterns, divides the subsidence strata formed during the passive continental margin basin subsidence period, and determines the total subsidence of the subsidence strata.

[0096] The settlement structure module 130 is used to decompact the subsidence strata, correct the paleowater depth and load settlement, and recover the tectonic settlement from the total settlement of the subsidence strata.

[0097] The subsidence structure module 130 decompacts the subsidence strata to obtain compaction settlement; it corrects the subsidence strata for paleodepth and load settlement to obtain water depth variation and load settlement; and it removes compaction settlement, water depth variation, and load settlement from the total subsidence strata to recover the structural subsidence. Specifically, using drilling data, the subsidence strata are decompacted (Formula ①), and corrected for paleodepth and load settlement (Formula ②) is obtained, and the structural subsidence is recovered from the total subsidence S. t After removing the compaction settlement x (Formula ③), water depth change w, and load settlement l, the structural settlement s (Formula ④) is recovered.

[0099] l = X o (ρ m -ρ s ) / (ρ m -ρ w )……………………………………………………………②

[0100] x = X o -(X2-X1)………………………………………………………………③

[0101] s = S t -xwl……………………………………………………………………④

[0102] In equations ①-④, φ o Where C is the surface porosity of the sediment, and X is the compaction coefficient. o ρ represents the original sedimentary thickness of the depression strata, X1 and X2 are the top and bottom depths of the depression strata, respectively. m ρ w and ρ s These are mantle density, water density, and sediment density, respectively; S t denoted as the total settlement of the depression strata, x as the compaction settlement, w as the water depth change, l as the load settlement, and s as the tectonic settlement.

[0103] The development time definition module 140 is used to define the development time of the depression strata based on the regional tectonic evolution background and chronostratigraphic understanding of the passive continental margin basin.

[0104] The development time definition module 140 determines the geological age of the top and bottom interfaces of the depression strata in the passive continental margin basin based on the regional tectonic evolution background and chronostratigraphic understanding of the passive continental margin basin, and determines the development time t of the depression strata based on the geological age of the top and bottom interfaces of the depression strata.

[0105] Subsidence rate calculation module 150 is used to calculate the subsidence rate of a passive continental margin basin during the subsidence period based on tectonic subsidence and development time.

[0106] The subsidence rate calculation module 150 calculates the subsidence rate during the subsidence period of a passive continental margin basin based on v = s / t, where s is the tectonic subsidence amount and t is the development time of the subsidence strata.

[0107] Prediction module 160 is used to predict the quality and extent of source rocks in areas conducive to source rock development based on the settling rate.

[0108] Specifically, the prediction module 160 determines the quality of source rocks developed during the subsidence period based on the calculated subsidence rate v. For example, if the calculated subsidence rate is 56.6 m / Ma, and considering geological statistical laws, a subsidence rate range of 30-150 m / Ma is most favorable for the enrichment of organic matter. In this case, it can be determined that the area has high-quality source rocks. Combined with the area determined in step S12, the distribution range of high-quality source rocks can be determined.

[0109] This invention discloses a passive continental margin basin depression-stage hydrocarbon source rock prediction device. It comprehensively utilizes wavelet transform-based gravity and magnetic anomaly data to characterize the distribution of transform faults and the confined environment conducive to hydrocarbon source rock development formed by the marginal highlands and continental blocks during the depression stage. Seismic and drilling data are used to delineate depression strata, and the subsidence rate of these strata is recovered to determine the quality of hydrocarbon source rocks during the depression stage. This invention has a certain degree of universality; in passive continental margin basins with limited seismic and drilling data and a lack of geochemical testing data, it can semi-quantitatively and rapidly predict the distribution of high-quality hydrocarbon source rocks during the depression stage, providing strong support for strategic site selection in overseas exploration and possessing significant theoretical and applied value.
