Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of rock physics and coupled seismic wave propagation simulation of multiphase flow, and particularly relates to a wave velocity-attenuation full-process calculation method based on a Lo two-phase fluid model, a multiphase medium seismic wave propagation modeling method under the action of supercritical CO2-saline water two-phase fluid in a saline layer, and a numerical simulation and parameter sensitivity analysis method of seismic attributes such as wave velocity and attenuation. BACKGROUND
[0002] Geological carbon storage (GCS) is a key technology path to achieve global deep decarbonization. Large-scale deployment of GCS is crucial to achieve the urgent climate goal of "greenhouse gas emissions peaking in 2025 and reducing by 43% by 2030". Among various potential reservoirs, deep saline aquifers account for more than 90% of the total global geological storage potential. Due to its huge storage potential, it is considered as the primary target reservoir for implementing GCS. In saline aquifers, injected scCO2 will coexist with in-situ saline water, forming a dynamically evolving saline water-scCO2 two-phase fluid system. The spatial distribution and saturation change of this two-phase fluid will change the elastic properties of the reservoir rock (such as wave impedance, velocity), which will directly affect the amplitude, phase and propagation characteristics of the seismic reflection wave.
[0003] Biot theory laid the foundation for the theory of seismic wave propagation in saturated porous media. This theory couples the motion of the solid skeleton with the pore fluid and predicts the existence of type II compression waves. However, since the GCS target layer is considered a two-fluid system with saline water and scCO2 coexisting in the pores, the wave propagation characteristics within it are more complex: the difference in compressibility between the different fluid phases can induce local pore pressure gradients, thereby causing local flow and diffusion of the fluid in the pores. This phenomenon of waves causing local fluid flow is considered an important mechanism for seismic wave energy loss and velocity dispersion in porous two-fluid media. Subsequently, many models were developed to describe porous media saturated with two immiscible fluids. The Berryman-Thigpen-Chin (BTC) model, within the Biot framework, introduces a second type of fluid, considering the low-frequency limiting response and inertial coupling of the two-fluid system. However, this model neglects capillary pressure and severely underestimates the wave velocity dispersion and attenuation caused by capillary effects in the CO2-saltwater system. The Santos-Carcione model, based on the BTC model, introduces capillary pressure and improves the inertial coupling term between the two phases, enabling it to predict the third type of longitudinal wave (P3) generated by capillary pressure. However, the parameters of this model are mostly empirical or generalized assumptions, lacking sensitivity to pore geometry, and the inertial coupling coefficients are difficult to directly correspond to measured physical quantities. The Coussy model, through coupled pore elasticity theory, effective stress principle, and capillary effect, is mainly suitable for describing quasi-static seepage-deformation processes (such as soil consolidation and settlement), but is difficult to directly apply to consolidated rock systems. The Lo two-phase fluid theory is based on the mixture theory within the Euler framework. It establishes mass and momentum conservation equations for each phase (skeleton, wetting phase, and non-wetting phase) and clarifies the dynamic responses between the coupled phases through viscous drag and inertial interaction coefficients. Compared to the simplified treatment of capillary action and coupling parameters in previous BTC and Santos-Carcione models, the Lo model introduces a capillary pressure-saturation relationship and defines physically interpretable flow-flow and fluid-structure coupling parameters, enabling it to accurately predict three-branch body wave modes (including fast waves and two slow waves) and their corresponding dispersion and attenuation characteristics under low-frequency conditions. The Lo model provides crucial theoretical support for seismic wave monitoring of the saline-scCO2 two-phase fluid system in the GCS. By quantifying the wave velocity-attenuation coupling mechanism between water and scCO2, it can accurately analyze the wavefield response dynamics during CO2 seismic storage, providing a theoretical basis for elucidating the physical mechanism of seismic wave response changes induced by the two-phase fluid in saline CO2 seismic storage.
[0004] Based on the above analysis, the problems and shortcomings of the existing technology are as follows: (1) Current researches mostly use traditional van Genuchten (vG) model to represent the capillary pressure-saturation relationship, and the fitting accuracy is insufficient in the medium-low CO2 saturation interval; at the same time, the pore fluid parameters and rock skeleton parameters are often not obtained or constructed under the same temperature and pressure conditions, resulting in a lack of consistency and internal coupling relationship of medium physical property layers, which is difficult to meet the requirements of high consistency parameter system for two-phase fluid seismic simulation.
[0005] (2) Although the existing mixed or extended Biot model (such as BTC model and Santos-Carcione model) can describe the wave response of the two-fluid system, the coupling terms are mostly set empirically or simply, and it is difficult to realize the parameterization of physical interpretable parameters in terms of inertia coupling, viscous damping and capillary pressure, which cannot fully reflect the real interaction between CO2-saline two-phase fluid and solid skeleton.
[0006] (3) The existing methods mostly only output the calculation results of wave velocity and attenuation, and lack a special sensitivity analysis framework for the influence degree of different physical property parameter changes on the calculation results, which cannot clearly distinguish the relative influence of each parameter in the change of wave velocity and attenuation.
[0007] In summary, the existing technology lacks a complete seismic wave modeling and analysis method for the deep saline layer CO2 storage scene, which can integrate high-precision physical property input, clearly based on physical mechanism two-phase wave propagation model, and has systematic parameter influence analysis and mechanism interpretation ability.

[0016] In combination with all the above technical solutions, the application has the beneficial effects of: First, the present application is around the problem of modeling and interpretation of seismic response in CO2-saline two-phase medium, and a complete technical process covering physical property construction, wave velocity-attenuation solution and sensitivity mechanism analysis is constructed and implemented. The Lo two-phase fluid model has the advantages of strong consistency and strict physical constraints in describing the coupling dynamics of multi-phase fluid-solid, but it usually needs to be processed step by step for parameter changes, wave field response and mechanism interpretation in the application process, which is easy to cause information fragmentation. Based on this situation, the present application expands the traditional modeling framework, unifies the temperature-pressure related fluid properties, relative permeability model and improved capillary pressure model into the medium physical layer, and realizes the accurate calculation of phase velocity, dispersion and attenuation of various wave types under two-phase conditions on this basis. Further, the present application carries out sensitivity analysis on key physical parameters, and based on the inertial, viscous and elastic-capillary three-channel decomposition method, it determines the overall modeling process from parameter perturbation to wave field response to physical mechanism, thereby solving the problem of information fragmentation and mechanism quantification in traditional methods.
[0017] Second, the present application verifies the process by using typical reservoir properties and CO2-saline data, and the results show that the method can stably calculate the responses of three types of P waves and one type of S wave under different conditions, correctly depict the key features in the velocity-saturation relationship, and effectively identify the influence direction and contribution mechanism of main control parameter changes on seismic attributes. The whole process has clear structure, strong physical interpretation and high calculation efficiency, and can be directly used for seismic monitoring, reservoir state identification and parameter inversion in the process of CO2 storage, which has good engineering applicability and popularization value.
[0018] Third, the CO2-saline two-phase medium modeling process proposed by the present application can be used in CO2 geological storage (GCS) engineering to quantitatively analyze the velocity changes caused by fluid saturation changes and fluid phase state changes in the process of CO2 injection, so as to help engineers master the disturbance amplitude and evolution characteristics of the reservoir velocity structure in the injection process. The process can be used as a physical modeling tool in carbon storage monitoring and evaluation, and can provide reference information with physical basis for injection safety evaluation and monitoring scheme optimization.
[0019] The existing multi-phase medium seismic simulation is mostly dispersed processing, such as setting physical properties, solving velocity or local parameter analysis, and lacks a complete technical route that can penetrate modeling, solving and sensitivity analysis. The present application unifies the temperature-pressure related fluid parameters, relative permeability and capillary pressure into a multi-phase physical layer under the Lo multi-phase coupling model framework, and solves the velocity and attenuation of multiple wave types according to this; on this basis, further sensitivity analysis and corresponding inertial-viscous-elastic capillary mechanism decomposition are carried out, so that the parameter influence path is revealed systematically. The whole chain of "physical property -> solving -> sensitivity -> mechanism" constructed by the present application makes up for the lack of systematic process of multi-phase medium seismic simulation.
[0020] In the multi-phase medium, the coupling relationship of physical parameters is complex, the wave type is multiple and interferes with each other, so that it is difficult to realize from parameter change to velocity and attenuation response and then to the division of influencing factors. The present application makes the action path of each parameter on velocity and attenuation under the condition of multi-phase coupling clear through unified physical modeling, stable solving of multiple wave types and supporting sensitivity analysis and mechanism decomposition, so as to solve the problem of "difficult to quantitatively distinguish the source of parameter influence" in the multi-phase system.
[0021] The existing multi-phase medium seismic simulation method is usually difficult to finely distinguish the contribution of each physical parameter and its coupling term when analyzing the influencing factors of velocity and attenuation, especially when the capillary pressure and the joint action of multiple parameters are involved, the influence path is often difficult to be clearly presented in the same framework. The present application makes the influence source of each parameter on velocity and attenuation be able to be identified in a clearer and quantitative way through systematic sensitivity analysis and mechanism decomposition of inertial, viscous and elastic-capillary action paths, so as to overcome the lack of refinement of traditional methods in parameter influence analysis.

The three-channel decomposition method was used to separate and compare the sensitivity contributions of the P1 wave to these three inputs, analyze the relative strength of the three channels under different saturation levels, and form Figure 8 .in, Figure 8 Figure (a) shows porosity. Figure 8 Figure (b) shows the CO2 density. Figure 8 Figure (c) shows the density of saline water.
[0045] (4) Under 100Hz excitation conditions, the sensitivity sequences of the equivalent bulk modulus channel and the effective density channel as a function of saturation are calculated respectively; then, a cross-hatching operation is performed on the two sensitivity sequences. When the sensitivity values of the two channels are equal, the corresponding saturation value is recorded; this saturation is the inflection point saturation of the P1 wave velocity.

[0047] After quantifying the contributions of the elastic-capillary, inertial, and viscous channels to the P1 wave velocity sensitivity using a three-channel decomposition method, the inflection point of the P1 wave velocity was determined, thereby identifying the critical saturation and controlling factors at which the velocity changes from decreasing to increasing. The approximate expression for the P1 wave velocity is as follows: ; In the formula, It is the equivalent bulk modulus of the medium, which is determined by the solid skeleton, fluid compressibility, and coupling effects.

The relative sensitivity expression gives a sensitivity term of zero, and the P1 wave velocity reaches a local minimum. This condition is the critical saturation criterion for the velocity to change from decreasing to increasing.

[0052] Example 3: Comparison of effects of a traditional model and an extended van Genuchten capillary pressure model. Figure 4(a) The least square fitting of the traditional vG model and the extended vG model is performed using the Pc-S experimental data of Berea sandstone based on Pini's report. The optimal parameters of the traditional vG model are , . The fitting parameters of the Ext-vG model are , , , . On this basis, the root mean square error (RMSE) of the traditional vG model is 0.812 kPa, and the determination coefficient R 2 = 0.9759; the RMSE of the extended vG model is 0.343 kPa, and the R 2 is 0.9957, and the fitting residual of the Pc-S curve in the low to moderate CO2 saturation interval is reduced as a whole. For this Berea sandstone data set, the extended vG model can thus more smoothly reproduce the trend of experimental capillary pressure with saturation, while still maintaining the asymptotic behavior consistent with the traditional vG model at the limits of CO2→0 and SCO2→1. In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment is focused on, and the parts not described or recorded in a certain embodiment can be referred to the related description of other embodiments.
[0053] To further prove the positive effect of the above embodiments, the present application based on the above technical solutions carries out the following experiments.
[0054] (1) Model fitting effect: Ext-vG has obvious accuracy improvement compared with vG; According to the experimental capillary pressure-saturation data of Berea sandstone, as shown in Figure 4 , the fitting accuracy of the Ext-vG model proposed by the present application in the 0.1-0.6 saturation interval is obviously improved. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the traditional van Genuchten model is 0.812 kPa, while the Ext-vG model of the present application reduces the RMSE to 0.343 kPa; the determination coefficient R 2 from 0.9759 to 0.9957. From the fitting curve, it can be seen that the Ext-vG model is well fitted with the experimental data in the low to moderate saturation section, effectively avoiding the systematic deviation of the traditional vG model.
[0055] (2) Wave speed-attenuation variation law based on multiphase model; After calculating the speed and attenuation of P1, P2, P3 and S waves under multiphase conditions, it can be observed that various wave types present clear and coherent physical variation laws with saturation and frequency, as shown in Figure 5P1 wave speed presents a rapid decay after a small amount of CO2 injection followed by a slow decay with saturation increase under most temperature-pressure conditions; under partial temperature-pressure conditions, it shows a turning trend from decline to rise with saturation increase, and its minimum point can be clearly identified on the calculated speed-saturation curve; P2 wave presents a trend of rapid decay followed by slow decay; P3 wave appears slow wave characteristics under low frequency conditions, and its speed and attenuation have a typical diffusion-type response with saturation change; S wave is not sensitive to saturation change, and its speed curve is relatively stable. The solving process of the application can present a reasonable evolution relationship between multiple wave types, so that the change trend, relative difference and characteristic interval of P1, P2, P3 and S wave can be fully embodied in the calculation results.
[0056] (3) Sensitivity analysis: the main control pattern of four types of wave parameters is clear; In the given saturation range, the sensitivity of each wave type presents a clear main control pattern, as shown in Figure 6 , 7 : P1 wave is most sensitive to porosity and the densities of two types of fluids, and the sensitivity gradually increases with the increase of saturation; although the densities of CO2 and brine are opposite in direction, they both change linearly with saturation when the saturation is more than 10%, and the influence of brine density is more significant; the speed of sound only plays a role in the low saturation interval, and the influences of fluid viscosity and skeleton permeability are close to negligible. P2 wave is positively sensitive to skeleton permeability and CO2 speed, and negatively sensitive to porosity, and the sensitivity of each type converges rapidly at low saturation and at medium and high saturation; the sensitivity of CO2 and brine viscosity respectively presents a trend of negative enhancement and continuous decay with saturation, and tends to be stable at high saturation. P3 wave is positively sensitive to skeleton permeability and CO2 density, and negatively sensitive to porosity, and its response to fluid viscosity is different from that of P2 wave: the sensitivity of CO2 viscosity decreases with the increase of saturation, while the negative sensitivity of brine viscosity increases with the increase of saturation. The sensitivity trend of S wave to porosity and fluid density is similar to that of P1 wave, and it is not sensitive to other parameters. Global PAWN analysis further shows that the main control factors of each wave type have significant distinguishability: P1 wave is mainly dominated by porosity; P2 wave is mainly controlled by CO2 speed; P3 wave is most sensitive to saturation, and its dependence on CO2 density, porosity and brine viscosity changes at different saturation intervals; S wave is almost completely dominated by porosity. The above results collectively show that different wave types have stable and differentiated main control parameter patterns under multi-phase conditions. Based on three-channel decomposition of the perturbed parameters, the dominant mechanism at different saturation stages can be clearly observed to change systematically with saturation, as shown in Figure 8The total sensitivity is determined by the elastic-capillary channel and the inertial channel in the low saturation range, in which the elastic-capillary term has a significant negative contribution due to the large derivative of the capillary pressure; the channel rapidly decays and tends to zero after entering the transition zone, and the inertial channel begins to dominate, so that the change of the total sensitivity mainly comes from the inertial term; in the medium and high saturation ranges, the contributions of the elastic-capillary term and the inertial term gradually approach, and the total sensitivity presents a single-channel characteristic dominated by the inertial channel. The three-channel decomposition of CO2 and salt water density also shows a similar structure: the CO2 density mainly produces a negative contribution through the inertial channel, while the elastic-capillary term has a limited positive impact at low saturation and rapidly decays as the saturation increases; the salt water density presents a positive contribution under very low saturation conditions, and then its elastic-capillary term gradually weakens and tends to be constant, and finally the sensitivity is dominated by the inertial term. Overall, the three-channel decomposition not only ensures the convergence and self-consistency of the total sensitivity, but also reveals the continuous evolution law of the dominant path under low, medium and high saturation, providing a clear mechanism for understanding the physical response of wave speed to parameter perturbation.
[0057] The above merely describes preferred specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made by any person skilled in the art within the technical range disclosed by the present application, as long as it is within the spirit and principle of the present application, should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.

For example, left multiplication The first derivatives of the eigenvalues are obtained: For body waves, at a fixed frequency, we have: Obtain the velocity with respect to porosity The first-order sensitivity is decomposed into the sum of the elastic, inertial, and viscous channels: in: In the formula, It is an elastic capillary channel. , For inertial channels, It is a viscous channel.
9. The wave velocity-attenuation full-process calculation method based on the Lo two-phase fluid model according to claim 8, characterized in that, After quantifying the contributions of the elastic-capillary, inertial, and viscous channels to the P1 wave velocity sensitivity using a three-channel decomposition method, the inflection point of the P1 wave velocity was determined, thereby identifying the critical saturation and controlling factors at which the velocity changes from decreasing to increasing. The approximate expression for the P1 wave velocity is as follows: In the formula, It is the equivalent bulk modulus of the medium, which is determined by the solid skeleton, fluid compressibility, and coupling effects. It is the equivalent density of the medium, obtained by the linear superposition of the contributions of each phase; the relationship between the equivalent bulk modulus and the equivalent density is analyzed. Relative sensitivity: In the formula, It is the equivalent bulk modulus pair Sensitivity It is an equivalent density pair The sensitivity of equivalent bulk modulus and equivalent density to saturation; when the relative rates of change of equivalent bulk modulus and equivalent density are equal, the sensitivity of equivalent bulk modulus to equivalent density is... The relative sensitivity expression gives a sensitivity term of zero, and the P1 wave velocity reaches a local minimum. This condition is the critical saturation criterion for the velocity to change from decreasing to increasing.
