Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of structural geology of oil and gas basins, and in particular to methods, apparatus, equipment, media and products for determining the formation stages of strike-slip faults. Background Technology

[0002] Numerous intracratonic strike-slip faults have been newly discovered in large oil and gas basins in central and western my country, including the Sichuan, Tarim, and Junggar basins. These faults exhibit diffuse distribution and small displacements within the basins, unlike the traditionally recognized Altyn Tagh fault-type basin margin strike-slip faults. However, the evolutionary stages and formation mechanisms of these intracratonic strike-slip faults remain unclear. Existing methods primarily determine the development period based on the longitudinal penetration of strata by the faults, using the tectonic setting of that period as the fault development mechanism. Due to the ambiguity of the longitudinal penetration of strata by the faults, these existing methods cannot fully confirm the development time of the faults. Summary of the Invention

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining the formation stage of a strike-slip fracture according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where the formation stage of a strike-slip fracture needs to be determined. This method can be executed by a device for determining the formation stage of a strike-slip fracture. This device can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0034] S110. Acquire three-dimensional seismic data of the target study area and determine the planar distribution characteristics of strike-slip faults within the craton in the three-dimensional seismic data.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, the target study area is an oil and gas basin region used to study the formation stages of strike-slip faults within a craton. Three-dimensional seismic data of the target study area is acquired and analyzed to determine the planar distribution characteristics of strike-slip faults within the craton. Optionally, determining the planar distribution characteristics of strike-slip faults within the craton in the three-dimensional seismic data includes: extracting coherence attribute volumes from the three-dimensional seismic data; determining the marker horizons of the three-dimensional seismic data and interpreting the marker horizons on the seismic profiles of the three-dimensional seismic data to form a comprehensive stratigraphic interpretation result; based on the comprehensive stratigraphic interpretation result and the coherence attribute volumes, extracting bedding coherence slices of the marker horizons from the three-dimensional seismic data, and determining the planar distribution characteristics of strike-slip faults within the craton in the three-dimensional seismic data based on the bedding coherence slices of the marker horizons.

[0036] For example, three-dimensional seismic data is analyzed to extract coherent attribute volumes and determine marker horizons. Optionally, determining the marker horizons of the three-dimensional seismic data includes: analyzing the three-dimensional seismic data to determine the stratigraphic segment with the most developed strike-slip fault within the craton, and using the horizon corresponding to the stratigraphic segment with the most developed strike-slip fault within the craton as the marker horizon. It is understood that the horizon corresponding to the stratigraphic segment with the most developed strike-slip fault within the craton in the three-dimensional seismic data is used as the marker horizon in the three-dimensional seismic data. The marker horizons are interpreted on each seismic profile of the three-dimensional seismic data to form a full-area horizon interpretation result. Optionally, interpreting the marker horizons on the seismic profiles of the three-dimensional seismic data to form a full-area horizon interpretation result includes: interpreting the marker horizons on the seismic profiles of the three-dimensional seismic data at preset density intervals to form an initial horizon interpretation result; and performing interpolation operations on the initial horizon interpretation result to form a full-area horizon interpretation result. Understandably, in each seismic profile of the 3D seismic data, marker horizons are interpreted at certain density intervals to generate initial horizon interpretation results. Then, interpolation is performed on these initial horizon interpretation results to form the overall horizon interpretation results for the entire region. Based on the overall horizon interpretation results and coherence property volumes, bedding coherence slices of the marker horizons are extracted from the 3D seismic data, and the planar distribution characteristics of strike-slip faults within the craton in the 3D seismic data are determined based on these bedding coherence slices. For example, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the planar distribution characteristics of a strike-slip fracture within a craton, as provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] S120. Based on the planar distribution characteristics, the strike-slip fracture within the craton is vectorized to generate a strike-slip fracture vector diagram.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, the strike-slip fractures within the craton are vectorized based on the planar distribution characteristics to generate a strike-slip fracture vector map. It can be understood that the strike-slip fractures within the craton in the stratigraphic coherence slice of the marker layer are vectorized based on the planar distribution characteristics to generate a strike-slip fracture vector map.

[0039] Optionally, the strike-slip faults within the craton are vectorized based on the planar distribution characteristics to generate a strike-slip fault vector map. This includes: determining the distribution direction of the strike-slip faults within the craton based on the planar distribution characteristics; grouping the strike-slip faults within the craton based on the distribution direction; and vectorizing the grouped strike-slip faults within the craton to generate a strike-slip fault vector map. For example, the distribution direction of strike-slip faults within the craton in a bedding coherence slice of a marker layer is determined based on the planar distribution characteristics. The distribution direction of the strike-slip faults within the craton can be one or multiple. The strike-slip faults within the craton are grouped according to the distribution direction, wherein strike-slip faults within the craton with the same distribution direction are grouped together. Optionally, the geometric characteristics and properties of strike-slip faults within the craton (whether the fault is a normal fault, a reverse fault, or a strike-slip fault, etc.) in the seismic profile of 3D seismic data can also be obtained. The rationality of grouping the strike-slip faults within the craton based on the distribution direction can be judged based on the geometric characteristics and properties of the strike-slip faults within the craton. If the grouping results are unreasonable, they can be manually adjusted. Then, the strike-slip fractures within the grouped cratons are vectorized to generate a strike-slip fracture vector map.

[0040] S130. Obtain the paleotectonic morphology map of the marker layer of the three-dimensional seismic data for each tectonic period involved in the three-dimensional seismic data.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, a marker horizon is determined from the 3D seismic data, wherein the marker horizon is the horizon corresponding to the most developed strike-slip fault segment within the craton. Paleotectonic morphology maps of the marker horizon for each tectonic phase involved in the 3D seismic data are obtained. Optionally, obtaining the paleotectonic morphology maps of the marker horizon for each tectonic phase involved in the 3D seismic data includes: determining the tectonic evolution geological information of the target study area, and determining each tectonic phase involved in the 3D seismic data and the corresponding seismic horizon based on the tectonic evolution geological information; interpreting the seismic horizon corresponding to each tectonic phase on the seismic profile of the 3D seismic data to form a seismic horizon interpretation result; and performing layer flattening processing on the seismic horizon interpretation result corresponding to each tectonic phase to obtain the paleotectonic morphology map of the marker horizon for the corresponding tectonic phase.

[0042] For example, tectonic evolution geological information of the target study area corresponding to 3D seismic data is obtained, and the various tectonic phases and corresponding seismic horizons involved in the 3D seismic data are determined based on the tectonic evolution geological information; wherein, there is a one-to-one correspondence between seismic horizons and tectonic phases. Seismic horizons corresponding to each tectonic phase are interpreted in each seismic profile of the 3D seismic data, forming seismic horizon interpretation results. That is, seismic horizons corresponding to all tectonic phases are interpreted in each seismic profile of the 3D seismic data, forming seismic horizon interpretation results. It can be understood that the seismic horizon interpretation results include interpretation results for seismic horizons corresponding to all tectonic phases. Layer flattening processing is performed on the seismic horizon interpretation results corresponding to each tectonic phase to obtain the paleotectonic morphology map of the marker horizon in the corresponding tectonic phase. For example, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the seismic horizon interpretation results provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the green and blue lines represent seismic horizons in different tectonic phases. For example, the green line represents the seismic horizons of the first tectonic phase, the blue line represents the seismic horizons of the second tectonic phase, and the yellow line represents the marker horizon corresponding to the most developed strike-slip fault segment within the cratonic zone. By flattening the seismic horizons of the first tectonic phase (i.e., the green line), we can restore the basin's tectonic morphology before stratigraphic deposition at that time, thus obtaining a paleotectonic map of the marker horizon (i.e., the yellow line) in the first tectonic phase (i.e., the tectonic phase represented by the green line). Similarly, by flattening the seismic horizons of the second tectonic phase (i.e., the blue line), we can restore the basin's tectonic morphology before stratigraphic deposition at that time, thus obtaining a paleotectonic map of the marker horizon in the second tectonic phase (i.e., the tectonic phase represented by the blue line).

[0043] S140. Match the strike-slip fault vector diagram with the paleotectonic morphology diagram of each tectonic phase, and determine the formation phase of the strike-slip fault within the craton based on the matching results.

[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, the strike-slip fault vector map is overlaid with the paleotectonic morphology map of each tectonic phase to determine the correlation between each group of strike-slip faults in the vector map and the paleotectonic morphology map. The correlation includes perpendicularity, parallelism, parallel conjugate angles, or perpendicular conjugate angles. Strike-slip faults and tectonic phases with significant directional correlation are grouped together; that is, the tectonic phases corresponding to the paleotectonic morphology maps that have significant directional correlation with the strike-slip faults in the vector map are taken as the formation phases of strike-slip faults within the craton. For example, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between strike-slip faults in the strike-slip fault vector diagram and ancient tectonic morphology in the paleotectonic morphology diagram provided in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0045] The scheme for determining the formation period of strike-slip faults in this invention involves acquiring three-dimensional seismic data of the target study area and determining the planar distribution characteristics of strike-slip faults within the craton in the three-dimensional seismic data; vectorizing the strike-slip faults within the craton based on the planar distribution characteristics to generate a strike-slip fault vector map; obtaining the paleotectonic morphology map of the marker horizon of the three-dimensional seismic data for each tectonic period involved in the three-dimensional seismic data; matching the strike-slip fault vector map with the paleotectonic morphology map of each tectonic period, and determining the formation period of the strike-slip fault within the craton based on the matching results. Through the technical solution provided by this invention, the formation period of strike-slip faults within a craton can be determined simply, quickly, and accurately.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of a method for determining the formation stages of strike-slip fractures according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0048] S510. Obtain three-dimensional seismic data of the target study area and extract the coherence attribute volume of the three-dimensional seismic data.

[0049] S520. Analyze the three-dimensional seismic data to determine the stratigraphic segment with the most developed strike-slip fault within the craton in the three-dimensional seismic data, and use the stratigraphic position corresponding to the stratigraphic segment with the most developed strike-slip fault within the craton as the marker stratigraphic position.

[0050] S530. Interpret the marker horizons on the seismic profiles of the three-dimensional seismic data at preset density intervals to form initial horizon interpretation results, and perform interpolation operations on the initial horizon interpretation results to form full-area horizon interpretation results.

[0051] S540. Based on the stratigraphic interpretation results of the entire region and the coherence attribute volume, extract the marker bedding coherence slices from the three-dimensional seismic data, and determine the planar distribution characteristics of strike-slip faults within the craton in the three-dimensional seismic data based on the marker bedding coherence slices.

[0052] S550. Determine the distribution direction of the strike-slip fracture within the craton based on the planar distribution characteristics.

[0053] S560. Based on the distribution direction, the strike-slip fractures within the craton are grouped, and the grouped strike-slip fractures within the craton are vectorized to generate a strike-slip fracture vector map.

[0054] S570. Determine the tectonic evolution geological information of the target study area, and determine the various tectonic periods involved in the three-dimensional seismic data and the seismic horizons corresponding to each tectonic period based on the tectonic evolution geological information.

[0055] S580. The seismic profile of the three-dimensional seismic data is interpreted for the seismic horizons corresponding to each tectonic period to form seismic horizon interpretation results. The seismic horizon interpretation results corresponding to each tectonic period are then subjected to layer flattening processing to obtain the paleotectonic morphology map of the marker horizon in the corresponding tectonic period.

[0056] S590. Match the strike-slip fault vector diagram with the paleotectonic morphology diagram of each tectonic phase, and determine the formation phase of the strike-slip fault within the craton based on the matching results.

[0057] In this embodiment of the invention, taking a strike-slip fault within a Jurassic craton in a certain region as an example, the process of determining the formation period of the aforementioned strike-slip fault is explained as follows: 1) Select a large area of ​​3D seismic data with good Jurassic imaging quality, and use seismic interpretation software such as Geoeast to extract the coherence attribute volume of the data volume; through observation, it is found that the strike-slip fault within the Shaxi-Miaosha-2 segment of the Jurassic craton is well-developed, and the bottom boundary of the Shaxi-2 segment is used as a marker horizon to complete the seismic interpretation of this horizon in the 3D data volume; using the interpreted horizon and coherence attribute volume, extract the bedding coherence slice of the bottom boundary of the Shaxi-2 segment to characterize its fault plane distribution characteristics. 2) Based on the bedding coherence sections of the Sha-2 Member's basal boundary, the fault directions were grouped. The results showed that four main directions of faults were developed, including NE-E, NW-, NE-, and a group of large NW-oriented faults. Analysis of the geometric characteristics and properties of the faults in each direction based on typical seismic profiles determined that the NE-E, NW-, and NE-oriented faults are intracratonic strike-slip faults in different directions, while the large NW-oriented fault is a reverse fault. Vectorization software was used to vectorize the different groups of faults. 3) Based on the understanding of regional tectonic evolution, it was determined that the study area was mainly influenced by Yanshanian and Himalayan tectonic activities after the Jurassic. Therefore, the Middle and Upper Cretaceous landmark strata and the Cretaceous basal boundary strata were selected for interpretation. Layer flattening techniques were used to reconstruct the current tectonic morphology, Yanshanian paleotectonic morphology, and Late Jurassic paleotectonic morphology of the study area, forming a paleotectonic map of the key tectonic periods. 4) Overlay the vectorized fracture distribution characteristics obtained in step 2 with paleotectonic maps from different periods to clarify the correlation between fracture direction and tectonic axis; comparative evaluation found that the direction of the NE-STY strike-slip fault in the region is parallel to the current tectonic direction caused by Himalayan deformation, and the direction of the NW-STY strike-slip fault matches the direction of the NW-STY folds caused by the early Yanshanian period; thus, the formation period of strike-slip faults in different directions can be identified. The NE-STY strike-slip fault was formed in the Himalayan period, and the NW-STY strike-slip fault was formed in the early Yanshanian period.
