[0031] First, the design idea of the embodiments of the present application is briefly introduced as follows: Seismic prediction of earth stress is an important part of seismic exploration. Shale gas reservoirs have the characteristics of low porosity and low permeability. Hydraulic fracturing is generally required to extract shale gas reservoirs, which forms a large number of fractures in shale. Earth stress is a key factor that determines the shape, orientation, and extension direction of the generated fractures. Accurate prediction of the earth stress distribution of shale reservoirs is beneficial to selecting areas that are easy to fracture into a network, improving the recovery rate and yield of shale reservoirs, and is one of the necessary steps for shale gas reservoir exploration and development.

[0032] At present, the earth stress prediction method for shale, a strong VTI medium, is mainly based on weak anisotropy theory, which limits the applicability of existing earth stress prediction methods in strong VTI media, resulting in inaccurate earth stress prediction in strong VTI media. Therefore, improving the accuracy of earth stress prediction in strong VTI media is a problem that needs to be solved at present.

[0033] To solve or improve the above problems, the application provides a method for predicting the ground stress of a strong VTI medium, which can specifically include the following steps: obtaining observed seismic data of a seismic wave under the strong VTI medium, and constructing a parameter matrix to be inverted based on the PP wave reflection coefficient corresponding to the strong VTI medium; the parameter matrix to be inverted includes the parameter to be inverted respectively set for each stiffness matrix coefficient in the stiffness matrix of the strong VTI medium and the medium density of the strong VTI medium, and each stiffness matrix coefficient is related to the ground stress calculation of the strong VTI medium; then, based on the Bayesian inversion theory and the observed seismic data, a posterior probability function to which an inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the parameter matrix to be inverted is subjected is constructed, and a target functional is determined based on a prior probability function and a likelihood function corresponding to the posterior probability function; the target functional is used to solve the inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the maximum posterior probability; further, the medium density and each stiffness matrix coefficient are determined based on the inversion parameter matrix solving result of the target functional, and a compliance matrix of the strong VTI medium is determined based on each stiffness matrix coefficient; finally, the ground stress distribution of a target profile in the strong VTI medium is predicted based on the medium density, the normal strain matrix corresponding to the strong VTI, and the compliance matrix; the ground stress distribution includes the first normal stress, the second normal stress, and the third normal stress respectively corresponding to each point included in the target profile, wherein the first normal stress, the second normal stress, and the third normal stress are normal stresses perpendicular to each other in a space right-angle coordinate system constructed for the target profile, and the first normal stress or the second normal stress is perpendicular to the target profile.

[0034] In this way, the problem that the applicability of the ground stress prediction based on the weak anisotropy theory is limited in the strong VTI medium is solved, the introduction of the integration of the prior and boundary constraint algorithm improves the stability of the parameter inversion, the sequential simulation algorithm and the stochastic inversion strategy improve the resolution capability of the stiffness matrix coefficient prediction result, the inversion stiffness matrix can directly construct the constitutive relation with the ground stress, thereby avoiding the cumulative error of the conventional ground stress step-by-step inversion, the medium density and each stiffness matrix coefficient of the strong VTI are accurately determined through the constructed target functional, and thus the ground stress prediction accuracy in the strong VTI medium is improved.

[0035] Particularly, the preferred embodiments of the application are described below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification, and it should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the application, and are not used to limit the application, and the embodiments of the application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

For example, Figure 1 As shown, only the terminal devices (101a, 101b) and the server 102 are taken as examples for description, and the following briefly introduces each communication device and its respective function.

[0038] The terminal devices (101a, 101b) are devices that can provide voice and / or data connectivity to users, which can be devices supporting wired and / or wireless connection modes.

[0039] Exemplarily, the terminal devices (101a, 101b) can include but are not limited to: mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, palm computers, mobile internet devices (mobile internet device, MID), wearable devices, virtual reality (virtual reality, VR) devices, augmented reality (augmented reality, AR) devices, wireless terminal devices in industrial control, wireless terminal devices in unmanned driving, wireless terminal devices in smart grid, wireless terminal devices in transportation safety, wireless terminal devices in smart city, or wireless terminal devices in smart home, etc.

[0040] In addition, the terminal devices (101a, 101b) can be installed with related clients, which can be software, for example, application programs (application, APP), browsers, short video software, etc., or web pages, applets, etc.

[0041] It should be noted that the terminal device (101a, 101b) in the embodiment of the present application can make the above-mentioned client related to the ground stress prediction send the observed seismic data of the seismic wavelet (such as the Ricker wavelet) under the strong VTI medium (such as shale) to the server 102, so as to subsequently perform the method steps of the ground stress prediction for the strong VTI medium.

[0042] The server 102 can be a stand-alone physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDN), and basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that in the embodiment of the present application, the server 102 can be used to obtain the observed seismic data of the seismic wavelet under the strong VTI medium, and construct a to-be-inverted parameter matrix based on the PP wave reflection coefficient corresponding to the strong VTI medium; then, based on the Bayesian inversion theory and the observed seismic data, a posterior probability function to which the inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the to-be-inverted parameter matrix is subjected is constructed, and a target functional is determined based on the prior probability function and the likelihood function corresponding to the posterior probability function; further, based on the inversion parameter matrix solving result of the target functional, the medium density and each stiffness matrix coefficient are determined, and the compliance matrix of the strong VTI medium is determined based on each stiffness matrix coefficient; finally, based on the medium density, the normal strain matrix corresponding to the strong VTI, and the compliance matrix, the ground stress distribution of the target profile in the strong VTI medium is predicted.

[0044] The ground stress prediction method provided by the exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described below in combination with the above-mentioned system architecture and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the above-mentioned system architecture is only shown for the purpose of facilitating the understanding of the spirit and principles of the present application, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in this respect.

[0045] Referring to Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 2, which is an implementation flowchart of a ground stress prediction method provided by an embodiment of the present application, the execution subject is taken as an example of a server, and the specific implementation flow of the method is as follows: S201: Obtain the observed seismic data of the seismic wavelet under the strong VTI medium, and construct a to-be-inverted parameter matrix based on the PP wave reflection coefficient corresponding to the strong VTI medium.

[0046] The to-be-inverted parameter matrix can include: to-be-inverted parameters respectively set for each stiffness matrix coefficient included in a stiffness matrix of the strong VTI medium and a medium density of the strong VTI medium. The stiffness matrix coefficient is related to the ground stress calculation of the strong VTI medium.

[0047] Optionally, the ground stress can include: a first normal stress, a second normal stress, and a third normal stress. The first normal stress, the second normal stress, and the third normal stress are mutually perpendicular normal stresses in a space rectangular coordinate system constructed for the target profile, and the first normal stress or the second normal stress is perpendicular to the target profile.

[0048] Specifically, a plane formed by the X axis (or the Y axis) and the Z axis of the space rectangular coordinate system is parallel to the target profile, and the Y axis (or the Z axis) of the space rectangular coordinate system is perpendicular to the target profile. For example, the first normal stress is a normal stress in the same direction as the positive direction of the X axis, and the first normal stress can be represented as σ x The second normal stress is a normal stress in the same direction as the positive direction of the Y axis, and the second normal stress can be represented as σ y The third normal stress is a normal stress in the same direction as the positive direction of the Z axis, and the third normal stress can be represented as σ z .

[0049] Therefore, each stiffness matrix coefficient can include: a stiffness matrix coefficient related to the calculation of the first normal stress σ x , the second normal stress σ y , and the third normal stress σ z of the strong VTI medium.

[0050] In order to improve the accuracy of the ground stress prediction, the observed seismic data can include observed seismic data of the seismic wavelet at different incidence angles. Therefore, in an optional implementation, when performing step S201, the server can obtain the observed seismic data of the seismic wavelet in the strong VTI medium by observing the phase and amplitude of the seismic wavelet in the strong VTI medium at different incidence angles of the seismic wavelet through the seismic data observation module, obtaining multiple observed seismic data, and taking the seismic data vector composed of the multiple observed seismic data as the observed seismic data.

[0051] In other words, the observed seismic data can be an observation data vector composed of a partial angle stack seismic data. For example, the observed seismic data Specifically, the observed seismic data can be represented as: The observed seismic data hThe observed seismic sub-data sets of different incidence angles are combined.

[0052] In an optional implementation, when performing step S201, the server can determine the multiple medium attribute parameters to be inverted based on a calculation formula of the PP wave reflection coefficient when constructing the parameter matrix to be inverted based on the PP wave reflection coefficient corresponding to the strong VTI medium, wherein the multiple medium attribute parameters include multiple stiffness matrix coefficients and a medium density, so as to filter out each stiffness matrix coefficient related to the ground stress calculation from the multiple stiffness matrix coefficients, and construct the parameter matrix to be inverted based on the natural logarithm corresponding to each stiffness matrix coefficient and the medium density. It can be understood that the multiple stiffness matrix coefficients are elastic parameters, and the medium density is a non-elastic parameter.

[0053] For example, the calculation formula of the PP wave reflection coefficient can be a PP wave reflection coefficient equation of the strong VTI medium based on the elastic impedance tensor, and can be specifically represented as follows:

[0054] wherein, and are horizontal slowness and vertical slowness respectively,

[0055]

[0056] wherein,

[0057]

[0058] wherein,

[0059]

[0060] , and are Thomsen anisotropy parameters, and describe the degree of change of the propagation speed of P wave and SH wave in VTI medium, reflects the nonlinear relationship between the propagation speed of longitudinal wave and transverse wave. In addition, l 2 in l is the ratio of transverse wave velocity to longitudinal wave velocity, is the phase velocity of P wave, is the incidence angle of the seismic wavelet. It should be noted that, , , and non-zero and related to the calculation of the first normal stress σ x , the second normal stress σ y and the third normal stress σ z of the strong VTI medium, while C 66 non-zero but irrelevant to the calculation of the first normal stress σ x , the second normal stress σ y and the third normal stress σ z , i.e. each of the above stiffness matrix coefficients is: , , and , and the above medium density can be: ρ .

[0061] At this time, the stiffness matrix of the VTI medium can be a strip matrix C as follows:

[0062] Optionally, the server can construct the parameter matrix to be inverted based on the natural logarithm of each stiffness matrix coefficient and the medium density corresponding to the natural logarithm. The process can be as follows: according to the strong VTI medium PP wave reflection coefficient equation based on the elastic impedance tensor, the perturbation term can be represented in the form of natural logarithm:

[0063] wherein represents the natural logarithm of each of the above stiffness matrix coefficients and the medium density. Then, the parameter matrix to be inverted can be represented as: .

[0064] S202: Based on the Bayesian inversion theory and the observed seismic data, a posterior probability function to which an inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the parameter matrix to be inverted is subjected is constructed, and a target functional is determined based on a prior probability function and a likelihood function corresponding to the posterior probability function.

[0065] In this way, the Bayesian theory defines the prior information as the probability density function to which all random unknown parameters are subjected. The Bayesian theory can obtain the unknown probability from the known probability, i.e. the prior information is transformed into the posterior information, and each of the parameters included in the parameter matrix to be inverted can be accurately inverted.

[0066] For example, during step S202, the posterior probability function of the inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the parameter matrix to be inverted, constructed by the server based on Bayesian inversion theory and observed seismic data, can be specifically expressed as follows:

[0067] in, This indicates observed earthquake data. This represents the inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the parameter matrix X to be inverted. Represents the inversion parameter matrix It follows the posterior probability density function. This represents the prior probability density function. Represents the inversion parameter matrix With observed earthquake data The degree of fit between them is the likelihood function.

[0068] Optionally, the above inversion parameter matrix It can be represented as: It should be understood that the inversion parameter matrix The specific values ​​of the parameter matrix X to be inverted, i.e., the inversion parameter matrix. Each inversion parameter included in the matrix corresponds one-to-one with the inversion parameter matrix X.

[0069] The aforementioned objective functional can be used to solve for the inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the maximum posterior probability, i.e., the posterior probability density function. The inversion parameter matrix at the maximum value is taken as the solution of the objective functional.

[0070] In one optional implementation, when determining the target functional based on the prior probability function and likelihood function corresponding to the posterior probability function, the server can determine the probability density distribution function of the posterior probability function based on the Gaussian probability density functions corresponding to the prior probability function and the likelihood function, respectively. The maximum value index function corresponding to this probability density distribution function is then used as the target functional. For example, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a method for determining the probability density distribution function of a posterior probability function, as provided in this application. The specific implementation process of this method is as follows: S301: Construct forward modeling factors based on the calculation formulas of the incident angle-dependent seismic wavelet matrix corresponding to the seismic wavelet, the first-order difference factor corresponding to the parameter matrix to be inverted, and the reflection coefficient of the PP wave.

[0071] The first-order difference factor mentioned above can be used to compensate for the difference between each stiffness matrix coefficient and the natural logarithm of each stiffness matrix coefficient, as well as the difference between the natural logarithm of the medium density and the medium density. In other words, the first-order difference factor mentioned above is used to compensate for the error caused by the approximate equality when taking the natural logarithm of the above disturbance terms.

[0072] Optionally, it is assumed that the above incident angle-dependent seismic wavelet matrix can be expressed as: The first-order difference factor mentioned above can be expressed as: Then the above-mentioned forward modeling factor can be expressed as: And the orthogonal factor This can be specifically expressed as follows:

[0073] in,

[0074]

[0075]

[0076] S302: Based on the product of the forward modeling factor and the inversion parameter matrix, and the observed seismic data, determine the noise vector in the observed seismic data.

[0077] The product result described above can characterize the theoretical seismic data of the seismic wavelet in a strong VTI medium. For example, the aforementioned theoretical seismic data or product result can be expressed as: Gm So, observing earthquake data noise vector in n It can be represented as: - Gm It should be noted that, due to the observation of earthquake data... Due to the influence of random noise, the observed seismic data can be considered... It follows a Gaussian likelihood probability distribution. Therefore, the prior probability function... The Gaussian probability density function can be a noise vector n (or - Gm The probability density function of the Gaussian distribution follows.

[0078] S303: Take the Gaussian probability density function that the noise vector follows as the Gaussian probability density function of the likelihood function, and determine the probability density function of the posterior probability function based on the Gaussian probability density functions corresponding to the prior probability function and the likelihood function, respectively.

[0079] For example, the likelihood function The Gaussian distribution probability density function of the prior probability function p(x) can be specifically represented as follows:

[0080] wherein, represents a vector obeys a Gaussian probability distribution function with a mean of 0 and a covariance of , and is a sampling point number of the observed seismic data . Optionally, the covariance is determined according to multiple experiments.

[0081] In addition, in the Bayesian inversion framework, the prior information of the to-be-inverted parameter is beneficial to reduce the solution space of the inversion parameter matrix . In order to improve the stability of the seismic inversion, the inversion parameter matrix also obeys a Gaussian-type probability density distribution. Then, the Gaussian distribution probability density function of the prior probability function p(x) can be specifically represented as follows:

[0082] wherein, is a covariance between each element included in the inversion parameter matrix , and M is a sampling point number of the inversion parameter matrix . Similarly, the covariance may also be determined according to multiple experiments, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0083] Further, the server can determine the probability density distribution function of the posterior probability function p(x|y) after determining the Gaussian distribution probability density functions corresponding to the prior probability function p(x) and the likelihood function p(y|x) respectively, and the probability density distribution function of the posterior probability function p(x|y) can be specifically represented as follows:

[0084] S203: Determine the medium density and each stiffness matrix coefficient based on the inversion parameter matrix solving result of the target functional, and determine the compliance matrix of the strong VTI medium based on each stiffness matrix coefficient.

[0085] Exemplarily, the inversion parameter matrix solving result of the target functional can be an inversion parameter matrix when an exponential term of the probability density distribution function of the posterior probability function p(x|y) is a minimum value. Therefore, the inversion parameter matrix solving result of the target functional can be specifically represented as follows:

[0086] wherein, argmax​​​​​m {} is the maximum index function, and argmin m {} is the minimum index function.

[0087] Therefore, the server can determine the medium density and the stiffness matrix coefficients according to the inversion parameter matrix solving result of the target functional O m ), and determine the compliance matrix of the strong VTI medium based on the stiffness matrix coefficients.

[0088] In order to further improve the stability of seismic inversion, the server constructs a low-frequency model based on the logging data (or the stratigraphic framework information) corresponding to the strong VTI medium, and obtains a low-frequency constraint function based on the low-frequency prior vector of the low-frequency model and the exponential term of the probability density distribution function; then, inputs the minimum index function corresponding to the low-frequency constraint function into the preset Markov chain model to obtain a function solving result of the minimum index function; finally, takes the function solving result as the inversion parameter matrix solving result, and determines the medium density and the stiffness matrix coefficients based on the inversion parameter matrix solving result.

[0089] Optionally, the server can measure the low-frequency prior vector (i.e., the low-frequency model prior information) of the low-frequency model by the L2 norm, so as to introduce the L2 norm measurement result of the low-frequency prior vector into the exponential term of the probability density distribution function of the posterior probability function Therefore, the low-frequency constraint function can be specifically represented as follows:

[0090] At this time, O m ) is a new target functional, i.e., the low-frequency constraint function obtained based on the low-frequency prior vector of the low-frequency model and the exponential term of the probability density distribution function, is the L2 norm measurement result of the low-frequency prior vector.

[0091] In addition, the preset Markov chain model can have 50 chains, and the iteration number of each chain can be 2500 times. In this way, through the preset Markov chain model, the function solving result of the minimum index function can be quickly and accurately obtained, the resolution capability of the stiffness matrix coefficient prediction result is improved, and the inversion stiffness matrix can directly construct the constitutive relationship with the stress tensor, avoiding the cumulative error of the conventional stress seismic step-by-step inversion.

[0092] In other words, for the optimization problem of the target functional, the Markov chain model is used to approximate the posterior probability distribution, the inversion parameter matrix sample points subject to the distribution are obtained, the idea of Monte Carlo is combined, and the statistical characteristics of the random sample points are used to approximate the statistical characteristics of the inversion parameter matrix, which can ensure that the subsequent each stiffness matrix coefficient and medium density are accurate.

[0093] Further, the server can further convert the strip matrix into the following form when determining the medium density and the coefficients of the stiffness matrix of each medium based on the inversion parameter matrix solution result.

[0094] wherein,

[0095] The compliance matrix S of the strong VTI medium can be obtained by inverting the stiffness matrix of the strong VTI medium. Therefore, the compliance matrix S of the strong VTI medium can be specifically represented as follows:

[0096] wherein,

[0097]

[0098] wherein,

[0099] S204: predicting the ground stress distribution of the target profile in the strong VTI medium based on the medium density, the normal strain matrix corresponding to the strong VTI, and the compliance matrix.

[0100] wherein, the ground stress distribution can include: the first normal stress σ x , the second normal stress σ y , and the third normal stress σ z corresponding to each point included in the target profile respectively. That is, the server can predict the first normal stress σ x , the second normal stress σ y , and the third normal stress σ z corresponding to all positions in the target profile based on the medium density, the normal strain matrix corresponding to the strong VTI, and the compliance matrix.

[0101] It should be understood that the strain-stress relationship of the compliance matrix of the strong VTI medium can be represented as follows:

[0102] In an alternative implementation, when performing step S204, the server can perform the following operations for each point included in the target profile, such as the target point: determining a point density corresponding to the target point based on a distance between the target point and a surface of the strong VTI medium and a medium density, and determining the first normal stress at the target point based on the point density σ z , the second normal stress at the target point based on the point density σ x , and the third normal stress at the target point based on the point density σ y . Wherein the first normal stress and the first normal strain are in the same direction, i.e., the first normal strain is σ x , and the second normal stress and the second normal strain are in the same direction, i.e., the second normal strain is ε x . σ y . ε y .

[0103] For example, assuming that the strong VTI medium is bounded and immovable, the strain in the horizontal direction (i.e., the first normal strain is ε x and the second normal strain is ε y ) is 0. At this time, the relationship between the strain in the horizontal direction (i.e., the first normal strain is ε x and the second normal strain is ε y and the three normal stresses (i.e., the first normal stress σ x , the second normal stress σ y , and the third normal stress σ z ) (i.e., the two stress expressions described above) and the calculation formula of the three normal stresses are as follows:

[0104] Wherein g is the acceleration of gravity, ρ ( h ) is the density ρ distribution function corresponding to the medium density, H is the distance between the target point and the surface of the strong VTI medium, or the depth of the target point.

[0105] In summary, in the in-situ stress prediction method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the observed seismic data of the seismic wavelet in the strong VTI medium is obtained, and the parameter matrix to be inverted is constructed based on the PP wave reflection coefficient corresponding to the strong VTI medium. Then, based on the Bayesian inversion theory and the observed seismic data, the posterior probability function to which the inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the parameter matrix to be inverted is subjected is constructed, and the objective function is determined based on the prior probability function and the likelihood function corresponding to the posterior probability function. Further, based on the inversion parameter matrix solving result of the objective function, the medium density and each stiffness matrix coefficient are determined, and the compliance matrix of the strong VTI medium is determined based on each stiffness matrix coefficient. Finally, based on the medium density, the normal strain matrix corresponding to the strong VTI, and the compliance matrix, the in-situ stress distribution of the target profile in the strong VTI medium is predicted. In this way, the medium density of the strong VTI and each stiffness matrix coefficient are determined through the constructed objective function, which improves the problem that the applicability of the in-situ stress prediction based on the weak anisotropy theory is limited in the strong VTI medium. Moreover, the in-situ stress in the strong VTI medium can be more accurately and stably predicted regardless of the observed seismic data with different signal-to-noise ratios or in actual complex work areas.
