Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seismic data processing and reservoir inversion technology, and more specifically, to a dynamic matching velocity inversion method based on multi-band fusion constraints. Background Technology

[0002] Marine exploration is a complex and systematic project. As exploration activities continue to advance into deeper and more complex geological environments, the exploration targets have gradually shifted from traditional conventional structural oil and gas reservoirs to more complex lithologic oil and gas reservoirs, significantly increasing the requirements for seismic data quality. In certain specific exploration areas, due to the influence of rugged seafloor topography, diapiric structures, and other special geological conditions, the quality of seismic data in some areas is poor, restricting the search for exploration targets. Despite multiple rounds of acquisition and processing, formation velocity recognition still faces a dual bottleneck: First, due to significant differences in frequency bands between seismic and well logging data—seismic data typically covers a lower frequency range, while well logging data contains more high-frequency information—this frequency band difference between seismic and well logging data makes velocity calibration difficult, resulting in a mismatch between imaging velocity and formation velocity. Second, reservoir inversion speed is limited by constraints on petrophysical parameters and insufficient fusion of multi-frequency velocity information, leading to low inversion accuracy and making it difficult to meet the needs of detailed characterization of lithologic oil and gas reservoirs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, which has low reservoir inversion velocity accuracy and is difficult to meet the requirements for fine characterization of lithologic oil and gas reservoirs, this invention provides a dynamic matching velocity inversion method based on multi-band fusion constraints, which achieves high-precision and high-resolution velocity modeling and meets the requirements for fine characterization of lithologic oil and gas reservoirs.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a dynamic matching velocity inversion method based on multi-band fusion constraints, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Based on the initial rock physical quantity scale of the region, construct the Zoeppritz forward modeling equation with rock property factor constraints including shear wave velocity and density; Step 2: Using seismic data and regional multi-frequency velocity information, a regional multi-frequency constraint operator is introduced by creating a full-frequency fusion algorithm. At the same time, initial rock physical quantity constraints and stability operators are introduced to construct the objective functional. Step 3: Based on the objective functional, construct an augmented Lagrangian function and use a dynamic matching algorithm to update the rock physical quantity plate in real time. Alternately iterate and invert to optimize the formation velocity, and achieve high-precision and high-resolution velocity inversion.

[0005] This method, through the synergistic effect of steps one through three, forms a complete high-precision velocity inversion technology system. First, based on the existing initial rock physics scale for the region, the constructed Zoeppritz forward modeling equation can more accurately simulate the reflection characteristics of seismic waves at complex stratigraphic interfaces, reducing indirect errors caused by the lack of rock property constraints. Specifically, the initial rock physics scale generally includes the statistical relationships of P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, and density of sandstone and mudstone at different depths. Then, by fusing low-frequency imaging velocities and high-frequency logging velocities from the region's seismic data, a multi-band fusion algorithm is used to weighted integrate velocity information from different frequency bands. Simultaneously, constraints from the initial rock physics scale and stability operators are introduced to ensure that the inversion results conform to regional lithological patterns and suppress high-frequency noise during the inversion process. The constructed objective functional balances the degree of data fit with the model's rationality. Finally, a dynamic matching algorithm is used to update the rock physics scale in real time. For example, when there is a deviation between the actual lithology of the stratigraphy and the initial scale, the correspondence between P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, and density in the scale is adjusted iteratively to continuously approximate the actual stratigraphic velocity.

[0020] Preferably, this method is applied to exploration areas within the same basin.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. By creating a full-band fusion algorithm to introduce regional multi-band velocity constraints, fully mining velocity information, and using a dynamic matching algorithm to update the rock physical quantity plate in real time, the reservoir velocity inversion was iteratively optimized, achieving high-precision and high-resolution velocity modeling.

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, a dynamic matching velocity inversion method based on multi-band fusion constraints includes the following steps: Step 1: Based on the initial rock physical quantity scale of the region, construct the Zoeppritz forward modeling equation with rock property factor constraints including shear wave velocity and density; Step 2: Using seismic data and regional multi-frequency velocity information, a regional multi-frequency constraint operator is introduced by creating a full-frequency fusion algorithm.

[0026] This method, through the synergistic effect of steps one through three, forms a complete high-precision velocity inversion technology system. First, based on the existing initial rock physics scale for the region, the constructed Zoeppritz forward modeling equation can more accurately simulate the reflection characteristics of seismic waves at complex stratigraphic interfaces, reducing indirect errors caused by the lack of rock property constraints. Specifically, the initial rock physics scale generally includes the statistical relationships of P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, and density of sandstone and mudstone at different depths. Then, by fusing low-frequency imaging velocities and high-frequency logging velocities from the region's seismic data, a multi-band fusion algorithm is used to weighted integrate velocity information from different frequency bands.

The constructed objective functional balances the degree of data fit with the model's rationality. Finally, a dynamic matching algorithm is used to update the rock physics scale in real time. For example, when there is a deviation between the actual lithology of the stratigraphy and the initial scale, the correspondence between P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, and density in the scale is adjusted iteratively to continuously approximate the actual stratigraphic velocity.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: by creating a full-band fusion algorithm to introduce regional multi-band velocity constraints, fully mining velocity information, and using a dynamic matching algorithm to update the rock physical quantity plate in real time, and iteratively optimizing the reservoir velocity inversion, high-precision and high-resolution velocity modeling is achieved, which effectively addresses the problem of complex and variable velocity fields in the basin and provides strong support for the precise implementation of the structure and the study of well location targets.

[0028] Example 2 This embodiment further defines the features of Embodiment 1, and its difference from Embodiment 1 lies in: Furthermore, this method can be applied to exploration areas within the same basin.

[0029] The method includes the following steps: Step 1: The reflection coefficient can be calculated using the precise Zoeppritz equation: (1) Although the Zoeppritz equation provides an accurate reflection coefficient, its numerical solution is overly complex and suffers from severe nonlinearity, resulting in poor applicability. Under the assumption that small changes in the elastic parameters are accurate, the Zoeppritz equation is linearized using the Shuey approximation, yielding: (2) in, For different incident angles The longitudinal wave reflection coefficient is below.

[0031] The remaining features and working principles of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1.

[0032] Example 3 In this embodiment, we use the traditional two-step velocity inversion method based on wave impedance and rock properties and the method of the present invention to perform velocity inversion on the target stratigraphy of a certain marine basin's three-dimensional seismic data, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present invention.

[0033] Traditional two-step velocity inversion methods based on wave impedance and rock properties, such as Figure 2As shown, the upper part is the pure wave seismic profile; the middle part is the inverted P-wave impedance; and the lower part is the inverted P-wave velocity. The figure shows that the conventional method, based on the inverted wave impedance, combines regional petrophysical scales to construct the relationship between wave impedance and velocity, and then inverts the formation velocity. The inverted velocity results show a similar trend to the wave impedance inversion results. This method is affected by the accuracy of the inverted wave impedance and regional petrophysical scales, resulting in certain indirect errors. Furthermore, it does not integrate the low-frequency imaging velocity obtained from regional X-ray tomography with the well logging velocity, leading to relatively low accuracy in the velocity inversion results.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper part is the pure wave seismic profile; the middle part is the seismic imaging velocity; and the lower part is the inverted P-wave velocity. The figure illustrates the velocity inversion results using dynamic matching velocity inversion based on multi-band fusion constraints. As discussed above, this invention fully integrates regional multi-band velocity information during the velocity inversion process and updates the regional rock physical quantities during the inversion solution. The implementation results show that, compared to conventional methods, this invention achieves higher velocity inversion accuracy and more precise well-seismic velocity matching, strongly supporting detailed structural analysis and well location target research. In conclusion, the dynamic matching velocity inversion method based on multi-band fusion constraints is considered effective, providing more accurate reservoir velocities and supporting exploration research.
