Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of geophysical exploration technology, specifically relating to a method for establishing a plastic formation velocity model, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Carbonate reservoirs, due to their deep burial depths (generally 6000-7500 meters), exhibit rapid seismic signal attenuation, strong lateral heterogeneity, and complex gas-water relationships. In particular, the overlying Triassic strata widely develop a set of plastic gypsum-crumpled formations with abrupt changes in thickness and velocity both longitudinally and laterally, resulting in severe longitudinal and lateral distortions in the travel times of pre-stack migrations of deep carbonate strata. Under current limitations in velocity iteration accuracy, it is impossible to accurately characterize the velocity structure changes of plastic strata, affecting the imaging accuracy of deep carbonate targets. Based on geological requirements, the core focus of processing deep heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs is to achieve high-fidelity, high-resolution imaging of heterogeneous structures, i.e., lithologic composite oil and gas reservoirs, under complex external environmental conditions.

[0003] In the past decade of seismic exploration, a technical strategy centered on the "dual high" processing and interpretation of lithology has been gradually formed. This strategy has the advantages of amplitude preservation and high resolution, and has achieved relatively high resolution and high fidelity processing of seismic results. However, traditional velocity modeling methods have not been able to effectively reduce the ambiguity of lithological internal imaging. The identification and control of strike-slip faults are still in the exploratory stage. They cannot meet the requirements of imaging accuracy for heterogeneous geological targets, nor can they meet the needs of fine characterization of platform margins and accurate identification of lithological traps. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to provide a method for establishing a plastic formation velocity model, which effectively reduces the ambiguity of lithological internal imaging, achieves the goal of imaging heterogeneous geological targets with ambiguity, and realizes a more refined and reliable characterization of ultra-deep heterogeneous reservoirs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for establishing a plastic formation velocity model, characterized in that the method includes the following steps performed sequentially:

[0007] S1. Establish the final overburden velocity model of the plastic formation, and perform fine picking of the top and bottom layers of the plastic formation. Fill in the plastic formation velocity according to the well logging information to establish the initial velocity model of the plastic formation.

[0008] S2. Update the initial velocity model of the plastic formation based on the variable velocity model operator and the all-round grid tomography technique to obtain the final velocity model of the plastic formation;

[0009] S3. Merge and stitch the final plastic stratum velocity model and the final plastic stratum overlying velocity model to obtain the merged velocity model;

[0010] S4. Based on the fused and spliced ​​velocity model, establish a velocity model of the underlying formation of the plastic formation according to drilling and logging information, and obtain the final velocity model through update and iteration.

[0011] As a limitation, the process of establishing the final overburden velocity model of the plastic strata in step S1 is as follows:

[0012] S11. Obtain a shallow near-surface model by initial arrival inversion under well logging constraints; establish a geological stratification velocity model based on drilling information;

[0013] S12. The shallow near-surface model and the geological stratification velocity model are fused to obtain the initial velocity model of the overlying strata;

[0014] S13. Perform pre-stack depth migration on the initial velocity model of the overlying strata to obtain depth migration gathers and depth migration data volumes.

[0015] S14. Pick up the remaining delay from the depth migration gather, use grid tomography to obtain the velocity update, and update the initial velocity model of the overlying strata.

[0016] S15. Repeat steps S13 to S14 for the updated overlying strata initial velocity model until the final overlying strata velocity model is obtained.

[0017] As a second limitation, the mesh tomography technique in step S14 specifically refers to:

[0018] The remaining delay is converted into the remaining velocity value. The slowness matrix equation for all rays is established within the grid. The velocity update for each grid is obtained by solving the matrix equation.

[0019] As a third limitation, the final overlying formation velocity model in step S15 is characterized by: a straight depth migration reflection phase axis and a vertical gradient that matches the logging velocity.

[0020] As a fourth limitation, the specific process for obtaining the final plastic formation velocity model in step S2 is as follows:

[0021] S21. Construct a variable velocity model operator based on the seismic profile obtained from pre-stack depth migration, and update the variable velocity model operator by multiplying it with the initial velocity model of the plastic strata to obtain the updated initial velocity model of the plastic strata.

[0022] S22. The updated initial velocity model of the plastic formation is further updated using the all-round grid tomography technique to obtain the velocity model of the plastic formation.

[0023] S23. Continue to perform pre-stack depth migration on the plastic strata velocity model, and adjust and characterize the plastic strata interface based on the results of the pre-stack depth migration to obtain the migrated seismic profile.

[0024] S24. Repeat steps S21 to S23 until the depth residual of the variable velocity model operator approaches zero, thus obtaining the final plastic formation velocity model.

[0025] As a fifth limitation, the specific process of constructing the variable speed model operator in step S21 is as follows:

[0026] S211. Use drilling data to identify and pick up plastic formations, and carry out P-wave velocity inversion based on seismic wave field dynamic characteristics within the plastic formations to obtain the plastic formation velocities with longitudinal variation trends.

[0027] S212. Using the plastic stratum velocity with a vertical variation trend as the initial velocity of the plastic stratum, pre-stack depth migration is performed to obtain the migrated seismic profile. There is a depth residual between the bottom interface of the plastic stratum in the migrated seismic profile and the bottom interface of the stratum in the actual drilling results. The depth residual is the time difference between the top and bottom layers of the plastic stratum.

[0028] S213. Pick up the depth residual and convert the depth residual into the velocity residual of the plastic formation, that is, the variable velocity model operator of the plastic formation.

[0029] As a sixth limitation, the omnidirectional mesh tomography technique in step S22 specifically refers to:

For each group, the slowness matrix equation of all rays is established in the grid. Multiple sets of matrix equations are established in total. The velocity update of each grid is obtained by solving multiple sets of matrix equations.

[0031] As a seventh limitation, the update and iteration process in step S4 is as follows: the velocity model of the underlying strata of the plastic formation is updated using grid tomography and pre-stack depth migration is performed until the depth migration reflection phase axis is straight and the vertical change gradient matches the logging velocity, thus obtaining the final velocity model.

[0047] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0048] Example 1: A method for establishing a plastic formation velocity model

[0049] This embodiment uses the plastic gypsum-bearing folded strata of the carbonate reservoir in Basin A of my country as the study area. Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment includes the following steps performed sequentially:

[0050] S1. Establish the velocity model of the overlying strata of the final plastic strata, and perform fine picking of the top and bottom layers of the plastic strata. Fill in the plastic strata velocity based on the well logging information to establish the initial velocity model of the plastic strata.

[0051] S11. Under well logging constraints, the shallow near-surface model is obtained through initial arrival inversion; a geological stratification velocity model is established based on drilling information.

[0052] S12. The shallow near-surface model and the geological stratification velocity model are fused to obtain the initial velocity model of the overlying strata.

[0053] S13. Perform pre-stack depth migration on the initial velocity model of the overlying strata to obtain depth migration gathers and depth migration data volumes.

[0054] S14. Pick up the remaining delay for the depth migration gather, use grid tomography to obtain the velocity update, and update the initial velocity model of the overlying strata.

[0055] The mesh tomography technique specifically involves converting the residual delay into a residual velocity value, establishing a slowness matrix equation for all rays within the mesh, and obtaining the velocity update for each mesh by solving the matrix equation, where slowness is the reciprocal of velocity.

[0056] S15. Repeat steps S13 to S14 for the updated overburden initial velocity model until a final overburden velocity model is obtained where the depth migration reflection phase axis is straight and the vertical gradient matches the logging velocity.

[0057] S2. Update the initial velocity model of the plastic formation based on the variable velocity model operator and the all-round grid tomography technique to obtain the final velocity model of the plastic formation.

[0058] S21. Construct a variable velocity model operator based on the seismic profile obtained from pre-stack depth migration, and update the variable velocity model by multiplying it with the initial velocity model of the plastic strata to obtain the updated initial velocity model of the plastic strata.

[0059] S211. Identify and extract plastic formations using drilling data, and perform P-wave velocity inversion within the plastic formations based on seismic wavefield dynamics characteristics to obtain, for example... Figure 2 The velocity of the plastic formation is shown to have a vertical variation trend.

[0060] S212. Using the vertically varying plastic stratum velocity as the initial velocity of the plastic stratum, pre-stack depth migration is performed to obtain the migrated seismic profile. The bottom interface of the plastic stratum in the migrated seismic profile has a depth residual with the bottom interface of the stratum in the actual drilling results. The depth residual is the time difference between the top and bottom layers of the plastic stratum.

[0061] S213. Pick up the depth residual and convert it into the velocity residual of the plastic formation, i.e. Figure 3 The variable-speed model operator for the plastic formation is shown.

[0062] S22. The updated initial velocity model of the plastic formation is further updated using omnidirectional grid tomography to obtain the velocity model of the plastic formation.

[0063] The omnidirectional grid tomography technique specifically involves converting the residual delay into residual velocity values, dividing all rays into multiple groups according to their paths, establishing a slowness matrix equation for all rays in each group within the grid, establishing multiple sets of matrix equations, and obtaining the velocity update for each grid by solving multiple sets of matrix equations.

[0064] S23. Continue to perform pre-stack depth migration on the plastic strata velocity model, and adjust and characterize the plastic strata interface based on the results of the pre-stack depth migration to obtain the migrated seismic profile.

[0065] S24. Repeat steps S21 to S23 until the depth residual of the variable velocity model operator approaches zero, thus obtaining the final plastic formation velocity model.

[0066] S3. The final plastic stratum velocity model and the final plastic stratum overlying velocity model are fused and spliced ​​together to obtain the fused and spliced ​​velocity model.

[0067] S4. Based on the fused and spliced ​​velocity model, a velocity model of the underlying formation of the plastic formation is established according to drilling and logging information. Through updating and iteration, that is, continuously using grid tomography to update the velocity model of the underlying formation of the plastic formation for pre-stack depth migration, until a velocity model with a straight depth migration reflection phase axis and a vertical gradient that matches the logging velocity is obtained is taken as the final velocity model.

[0068] Figure 4 (a) shows the pre-stack depth offset profile obtained before applying this embodiment. Figure 4 (b) shows the pre-stack depth migration profile obtained after applying this embodiment. By comparison, it can be seen that the pre-stack depth migration results using the final velocity model of this embodiment are more focused and have higher resolution than those without applying the plastic strata velocity. The undulation of the underlying strata is not affected by the plastic strata attitude. In the application of pre-stack depth migration in a certain area of ​​Basin A, it is consistent with the drilling conclusions and geological understanding.

[0069] Figure 5 (a) shows a schematic diagram of the depth migration profile and layer velocity superposition of the final velocity model obtained using this embodiment; Figure 5 (b) shows the logging velocity and depth migration velocity curves. Figure 5 (b) In this model, M represents the depth migration velocity and N represents the logging velocity. Through comparative analysis, it can be seen that the longitudinal and lateral variation trends of this velocity model are highly consistent with the logging velocity.

[0070] Table 1 shows the well seismic error statistics for the study area in this embodiment. The table lists the names of the strata in the depth migration profile, the drilling elevation imaging depth, the actual drilling depth at drilling elevation, the depth error, and the error rate.

[0072]

[0073]

[0074] As shown in the table, the error rates of both the drilling elevation imaging depth and the actual drilling depth are significantly better than the industry standard, i.e., the well vibration error is 1%, which proves the accuracy of the characterization speed after applying this embodiment.
