[0002] In-situ stress is a key factor determining the morphology, orientation, and extension direction of underground fractures. Accurate prediction of in-situ stress distribution is beneficial for selecting areas prone to fracturing and network formation, thereby improving the recovery rate and production of underground storage resources. In-situ stress includes three mutually perpendicular normal stresses (which can be denoted as: s x , s y and s z The directions of the three normal stresses are the same as the positive directions of the three coordinate axes of the spatial rectangular coordinate system constructed for the stratigraphic profile.
[0003] Currently, geostress prediction methods based on weak anisotropy theory are commonly used to predict geostress in strongly vertical transverse isotropy (VTI) media.

[0077] The names of the messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of this application are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of these messages or information.
[0078] First, the design concept of the embodiments of this application will be briefly introduced below:
[0079] Seismic prediction of geostress is an important aspect of seismic exploration. Shale gas reservoirs are characterized by low porosity and low permeability, and hydraulic fracturing is generally required for their exploitation to create numerous fractures in the shale. Geostress is a key factor determining the morphology, orientation, and extension direction of these fractures. Accurately predicting the geostress distribution in shale reservoirs is beneficial for selecting areas that are easy to fracture and form a network, thereby improving the recovery rate and production of shale reservoirs. It is an essential step in the exploration and development of shale gas reservoirs.
[0080] Currently, in-situ stress prediction methods for strong VTI media such as shale are mainly based on weak anisotropy theory. This limits the applicability of existing in-situ stress prediction methods in strong VTI media, resulting in inaccurate in-situ stress prediction under these conditions. Therefore, improving the accuracy of in-situ stress prediction in strong VTI media is an urgent problem to be solved.
[0081] To address or improve the aforementioned problems, this application provides a method for predicting geostress in strong VTI media. Specifically, it includes: acquiring observed seismic data of a seismic wavelet in a strong VTI medium, and constructing a parameter matrix to be inverted based on the reflection coefficient of the PP wave corresponding to the strong VTI medium; the parameter matrix to be inverted includes: parameters to be inverted for the medium density of the strong VTI medium and the non-zero stiffness matrix coefficients included in the stiffness matrix of the strong VTI medium, each stiffness matrix coefficient being related to the geostress calculation of the strong VTI medium; then, based on Bayesian inversion theory and observed seismic data, constructing a posterior probability function that the inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the parameter matrix to be inverted follows, and based on the prior probability function and likelihood function corresponding to the posterior probability function... The objective functional is determined; the objective functional is used to solve the inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the maximum a posteriori probability; further, based on the solution of the inversion parameter matrix of the objective functional, the medium density and coefficients of each stiffness matrix are determined, and the compliance matrix of the strong VTI medium is determined based on the coefficients of each stiffness matrix; finally, based on the medium density, the normal strain matrix and compliance matrix corresponding to the strong VTI, the geostress distribution of the target profile in the strong VTI medium is predicted; the geostress distribution includes: the first normal stress, the second normal stress and the third normal stress corresponding to each point of the target profile, wherein the first normal stress, the second normal stress and the third normal stress are mutually perpendicular normal stresses in a spatial rectangular coordinate system constructed for the target profile, and the first normal stress or the second normal stress is perpendicular to the target profile.
[0082] This approach addresses the limitation of in-situ stress prediction based on weak anisotropy theory in strong VTI media. The integration of prior and boundary constraint algorithms improves the stability of parameter inversion. Sequential simulation algorithms and stochastic inversion strategies enhance the resolution of stiffness matrix coefficient prediction results. The inverted stiffness matrix can be directly used to construct a constitutive relationship with in-situ stress, avoiding the accumulated errors of conventional step-by-step inversion of in-situ stress. The constructed objective functional accurately determines the medium density and various stiffness matrix coefficients in strong VTI media, thereby improving the accuracy of in-situ stress prediction in strong VTI media.
[0083] In particular, the preferred embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application. Furthermore, the embodiments of this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
[0084] See Figure 1 The diagram illustrates an optional system architecture applicable to an embodiment of this application. This system architecture may include: terminal devices (101a, 101b) and server 102. The terminal devices (101a, 101b) and server 102 can interact via a communication network. The communication network may employ wireless communication or wired communication methods. For example, the terminal devices (101a, 101b) can access the network and communicate with server 102 via cellular mobile communication technology. The aforementioned cellular mobile communication technology may include, for example, 5th generation mobile networks (5G) technology or next-generation mobile communication technology. Optionally, the terminal devices (101a, 101b) can access the network and communicate with server 102 via short-range wireless communication. The aforementioned short-range wireless communication method may include, for example, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) technology.
[0085] This application embodiment does not impose any limitation on the number of communication devices involved in the above system architecture. For example, the above system architecture may include more terminal devices, or fewer terminal devices, or other network devices. Figure 1 As shown, only terminal devices (101a, 101b) and server 102 are described as examples. The following is a brief introduction to each of the above communication devices and their respective functions.
[0086] A terminal device (101a, 101b) is a device that can provide voice and / or data connectivity to a user, and may be a device that supports wired and / or wireless connections.
[0087] For example, terminal devices (101a, 101b) may include, but are not limited to: mobile phones, tablets, laptops, handheld computers, mobile internet devices (MID), wearable devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, wireless terminal devices in industrial control, wireless terminal devices in autonomous driving, wireless terminal devices in smart grids, wireless terminal devices in transportation safety, wireless terminal devices in smart cities, or wireless terminal devices in smart homes, etc.
[0088] In addition, the terminal devices (101a, 101b) can have related clients installed. These clients can be software, such as applications (APPs), browsers, short video software, web pages, mini programs, etc.
[0089] It should be noted that the terminal devices (101a, 101b) in this embodiment can enable the aforementioned client related to geostress prediction to send the observed seismic data of seismic wavelets (e.g., Ricker wavelets) in strong VTI media (e.g., shale) to the server 102, so as to carry out subsequent methods and steps such as geostress prediction for strong VTI media.
[0090] Server 102 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as 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 big data and artificial intelligence platforms.
[0091] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment of the application, server 102 can be used to acquire observed seismic data of seismic wavelets in strong VTI medium, and construct the parameter matrix to be inverted based on the reflection coefficient of PP waves corresponding to the strong VTI medium; then, based on Bayesian inversion theory and observed seismic data, a posterior probability function of the inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the parameter matrix to be inverted is constructed, and the target functional is determined based on the prior probability function and likelihood function corresponding to the posterior probability function; further, based on the solution results of the inversion parameter matrix of the target functional, the medium density and coefficients of each stiffness matrix are determined, and the compliance matrix of the strong VTI medium is determined based on the coefficients of each stiffness matrix; finally, based on the medium density, the normal strain matrix and compliance matrix corresponding to the strong VTI, the geostress distribution of the target profile in the strong VTI medium is predicted.
[0092] The following describes the geostress prediction method provided by the exemplary embodiments of this application in conjunction with the above-described system architecture and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the above-described system architecture is only shown to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principles of this application, and the embodiments of this application are not limited in any way in this respect.
[0093] See Figure 2 The diagram shown illustrates the implementation flow of a geostress prediction method provided in this application embodiment. Taking a server as an example, the specific implementation flow of this method is as follows:
[0094] S201: Obtain observed seismic data of the seismic wavelet in a strong VTI medium, and construct the parameter matrix to be inverted based on the reflection coefficient of the PP wave corresponding to the strong VTI medium.
[0095] The aforementioned inversion parameter matrix may include: inversion parameters set separately for the non-zero stiffness matrix coefficients included in the density and stiffness matrix of the strong VTI medium. These stiffness matrix coefficients are related to the calculation of in-situ stress in the strong VTI medium.
[0096] Optionally, the aforementioned geostress may 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 spatial rectangular coordinate system constructed for the target profile, and the first normal stress or the second normal stress is perpendicular to the target profile.
[0097] Specifically, the plane formed by the X-axis (or Y-axis) and Z-axis of the spatial rectangular coordinate system is parallel to the target profile, while the Y-axis (or Z-axis) of the spatial 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 X-axis, and the first normal stress can be expressed as... s x The second normal stress is a normal stress in the same direction as the positive Y-axis, and the second normal stress can be expressed as: s y The third normal stress is a normal stress in the same direction as the positive Z-axis, and can be expressed as: s z .
[0098] Therefore, the stiffness matrix coefficients mentioned above can include: the first normal stress of the strong VTI medium. s x Second normal stress s y and the third normal stress s z The calculation of the stiffness matrix coefficients is related to this.
[0099] To improve the accuracy of ground stress prediction, the aforementioned observed seismic data may include observed seismic sub-data of the seismic wavelet at different incident angles. Therefore, in one optional implementation, when executing step S201, the server, while acquiring observed seismic data of the seismic wavelet in a strong VTI medium, can use the seismic data observation module to observe the phase and amplitude of the seismic wavelet during its propagation in the strong VTI medium at different incident angles, obtaining multiple observed seismic sub-data. The resulting seismic data vector, composed of these multiple observed seismic sub-data, is then used as the observed seismic data.
[0100] In other words, the aforementioned observed seismic data can be an observed data vector composed of partially superimposed angular seismic data. For example, observed seismic data... Specifically, it can be expressed as: That is, observing earthquake data Depend on h The data consists of observational seismic data at each incident angle.
[0101] In one optional implementation, during step S201, when constructing the parameter matrix to be inverted based on the PP wave reflection coefficient corresponding to the strong VTI medium, the server can determine multiple medium property parameters to be inverted based on the calculation formula of the PP wave reflection coefficient. These multiple medium property parameters include multiple stiffness matrix coefficients and the medium density. Thus, stiffness matrix coefficients related to the geostress calculation are selected from the multiple stiffness matrix coefficients, and the parameter matrix to be inverted is constructed based on the natural logarithms corresponding to each stiffness matrix coefficient and the medium density. It is understood that the aforementioned multiple stiffness matrix coefficients are elastic parameters, while the medium density is an inelastic parameter.
[0102] For example, the formula for calculating the PP wave reflection coefficient mentioned above can be an equation for the PP wave reflection coefficient of a strong VTI medium based on the elastic impedance tensor, which can be specifically expressed as follows:
[0103]
[0104] in, and These are horizontal slowness and vertical slowness, respectively.

[0113] , and For Thomsen anisotropy parameters, and This describes the degree of variation in the propagation speed of P-waves and SH-waves in VTI media. This reflects the nonlinear relationship between the propagation velocities of longitudinal and transverse waves. Furthermore, l 2 In this context, l represents the ratio of transverse to longitudinal wave velocities. For P-wave phase velocity, The incident angle of the seismic wavelet.
[0114] It should be noted that, , , and The stiffness matrix of a strong VTI medium includes non-zero values that are related to the first normal stress of the strong VTI medium. s x Second normal stress s y and the third normal stress s z The calculation of the relevant stiffness matrix coefficients, and C 66 Although it is not 0, it is related to the first normal stress. s x Second normal stress s y and the third normal stress s z The calculations are independent of each other, meaning the coefficients of the above stiffness matrices are: , , and The density of the aforementioned medium can be: r .
[0115] At this point, the stiffness matrix of the VTI medium can be a strip matrix C as follows:
[0116]
[0117] Optionally, the process by which the server constructs the parameter matrix to be inverted based on the natural logarithms corresponding to the coefficients of each stiffness matrix and the medium density can be as follows: According to the above equation for the reflection coefficient of PP waves in a strong VTI medium based on the elastic impedance tensor, the disturbance term can be characterized in the form of a natural logarithm:
[0118]
[0119] in, Let represent the natural logarithm of each of the stiffness matrix coefficients and the medium density mentioned above. Then, the parameter matrix to be inverted can be expressed as: .
[0120] S202: Based on Bayesian inversion theory and observed seismic data, construct the posterior probability function that the inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the parameter matrix to be inverted follows, and determine the target functional based on the prior probability function and likelihood function corresponding to the posterior probability function.
[0121] In this way, by defining prior information as the probability density function of all random unknown parameters through Bayesian theory, unknown probabilities can be obtained from known probabilities using Bayesian theory. That is, by transforming prior information into posterior information, we can accurately invert each parameter included in the parameter matrix to be inverted.
[0122] 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:
[0123]
[0124] 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.
[0125] 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.
[0126] 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.
[0127] 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 3The 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:
[0128] 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.
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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:
[0131]
[0132] in,
[0133]
[0134]
[0135]
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] 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.
[0139] For example, the likelihood function The Gaussian probability density function can be specifically expressed as follows:
[0140]
[0141] in, Representing vectors It follows a mean of 0 and a covariance of Gaussian probability distribution function, To observe earthquake data The number of sampling points. Optional, covariance. It was determined based on multiple experiments.
[0142] Furthermore, within the Bayesian inversion framework, prior information about the parameters to be inverted is beneficial for reducing the inversion parameter matrix. The solution space. To improve the stability of seismic inversion, the inversion parameter matrix... It also follows a Gaussian probability density distribution. Therefore, the prior probability function... The Gaussian probability density function can be specifically expressed as follows:
[0143]
[0144] in, Inversion parameter matrix The covariance between the elements included in it. M Inversion parameter matrix The number of sampling points; similarly, the covariance. It can also be determined based on multiple experiments, but this application does not limit this.
[0145] Furthermore, the server determines the prior probability function. and likelihood function By determining the corresponding Gaussian probability density function, the posterior probability function can be identified. The probability density distribution function is specifically expressed as follows:
[0146]
[0147] S203: Based on the solution results of the inversion parameter matrix of the objective functional, determine the medium density and coefficients of each stiffness matrix, and determine the compliance matrix of the strong VTI medium based on the coefficients of each stiffness matrix.
[0148] For example, the solution to the inversion parameter matrix of the above objective functional can be the posterior probability function. The inversion parameter matrix is the inversion parameter matrix when the exponential term of the probability density distribution function is at its minimum. Therefore, the solution result of the inversion parameter matrix of the above objective functional can be specifically expressed as follows:
[0149]
[0150] Where, argmax m {} represents the maximum index function, argmin m {} is the minimum value index function.
[0151] Therefore, the server can determine the target functional O( m The inversion parameter matrix solution results are used to determine the medium density and various stiffness matrix coefficients, and the compliance matrix of the strong VTI medium is determined based on the various stiffness matrix coefficients.
[0152] To further improve the stability of seismic inversion, the server constructs a low-frequency model based on well logging data (or stratigraphic framework information) corresponding to the strong VTI medium. Based on the low-frequency prior vector and the exponential term of the probability density distribution function of the low-frequency model, a low-frequency constraint function is obtained. Then, the minimum index function corresponding to the low-frequency constraint function is input into a preset Markov chain model to obtain the function solution result of the minimum index function. Finally, the function solution result is used as the solution result of the inversion parameter matrix, and based on the solution result of the inversion parameter matrix, the medium density and coefficients of each stiffness matrix are determined.
[0153] Optionally, the server can use the L2 norm to measure the low-frequency prior vectors of the low-frequency model (i.e., the prior information of the low-frequency model), thereby incorporating the L2 norm measurement result of the low-frequency prior vectors into the posterior probability function. The low-frequency constraint function is formed from the exponential term of the probability density distribution function. Therefore, the low-frequency constraint function can be specifically expressed as follows:
[0154]
[0155] At this time, O( m The new objective functional is the low-frequency constraint function obtained from the low-frequency prior vector and the exponential term of the probability density distribution function of the low-frequency model. This is the L2 norm measure of the low-frequency prior vector.
[0156] Furthermore, the pre-defined Markov chain model can have 50 chains, with each chain capable of 2500 iterations. This allows for the rapid and accurate determination of the minimum index function using the pre-defined Markov chain model, improving the resolution of stiffness matrix coefficient predictions. The inverted stiffness matrix can be directly correlated with the geostress tensor to establish a constitutive relationship, avoiding the accumulated errors of conventional step-by-step geostress seismic inversion.
[0157] In other words, for the optimization problem of the objective functional, we can use the Markov chain model to approximate the posterior probability distribution, obtain the inversion parameter matrix sample points that follow this distribution, and combine the Monte Carlo method to use the statistical characteristics of random sample points to approximate the statistical characteristics of the inversion parameter matrix. This can ensure that the accurate coefficients of each stiffness matrix and the medium density are obtained subsequently.
[0158] Furthermore, when determining the medium density and coefficients of each stiffness matrix based on the solution results of the inversion parameter matrix, the server can further transform the above-mentioned strip matrix into the following form:
[0159]
[0160] in,
[0161]
[0162] The compliance matrix S of a strong VTI medium can be obtained by inverting the stiffness matrix of the strong VTI medium. Therefore, the compliance matrix S of a strong VTI medium can be specifically expressed as follows:
[0163]
[0164] in,
[0165]
[0166]
[0167] in,
[0168]
[0169] S204: Based on the medium density, the normal strain matrix and compliance matrix corresponding to strong VTI, predict the geostress distribution of the target profile in a strong VTI medium.
[0170] The aforementioned stress distribution may include: the first normal stress corresponding to each point in the target profile. s x Second normal stress s y and the third normal stress sz That is, based on the normal strain matrix and compliance matrix corresponding to the medium density and strong VTI, the server can predict the first normal stress at all locations in the target profile. s x Second normal stress s y and the third normal stress s z .
[0171] It should be understood that the strain-stress relationship of the compliance matrix connection of a strong VTI medium can be expressed as follows:
[0172]
[0173] In an alternative implementation, when performing step S204, the server may perform the following operations for each point included in the target profile, such as the target point: based on the distance between the target point and the surface of the strong VTI medium, and the medium density, determine the point density corresponding to the target point, and determine the third normal stress at the target point based on the point density. s z Therefore, based on the stress expressions corresponding to the first and second normal strains included in the normal strain matrix, and the multiple compliance matrix coefficients related to the two stress expressions included in the compliance matrix, the first normal stress at the target point is determined. s x Second normal stress s y Among them, the first normal strain and the first normal stress s x In the same direction, that is, the first normal strain is e x Second normal strain and second normal stress s y In the same direction, i.e., the second normal strain e y .
[0174] For example, assuming the strong VTI medium is bounded and cannot move, the strain in the horizontal direction (i.e., the first normal strain) is e x The second normal strain is e y The strain in the horizontal direction is 0. At this time, the strain in the horizontal direction (i.e., the first normal strain) is 0. e x The second normal strain is e y With 3 normal stresses (i.e., the first normal stress) s x Second normal stress s yand the third normal stress s z The relationship between the stresses (i.e., the two stress expressions mentioned above) and the calculation formulas for the three normal stresses are as follows:
[0175]
[0176] Where g is the acceleration due to gravity. r ( h () represents the density of the medium. r The corresponding density distribution function, H The distance between the target point and the surface of the strong VTI medium, or the depth of the target point.
[0177] In summary, the geostress prediction method provided in this application involves acquiring observed seismic data of a seismic wavelet in a strong VTI medium, and constructing a parameter matrix to be inverted based on the reflection coefficient of the PP wave corresponding to the strong VTI medium. Next, based on Bayesian inversion theory and observed seismic data, a posterior probability function is constructed to which the inversion parameter matrix corresponding to the parameter matrix to be inverted follows. The target functional is then determined based on the prior probability function and likelihood function corresponding to the posterior probability function. Further, based on the solution results of the inversion parameter matrix of the target functional, the medium density and coefficients of each stiffness matrix are determined, and the compliance matrix of the strong VTI medium is determined based on the coefficients of each stiffness matrix. Finally, based on the medium density, the normal strain matrix corresponding to the strong VTI, and the compliance matrix, the geostress distribution of the target profile in the strong VTI medium is predicted. In this way, by constructing a target functional to determine the medium density and coefficients of each stiffness matrix in strong VTI, the problem of limited applicability of in-situ stress prediction based on weak anisotropy theory in strong VTI medium is improved; and, whether for seismic observation data with different signal-to-noise ratios or in actual complex work areas, the in-situ stress in strong VTI medium can be predicted more accurately and stably.
