Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas exploration and development technology, and in particular relates to a rapid quantitative prediction method for the planar distribution of offshore carbonate buried hill reservoirs. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the industry generally believes that the reservoir genesis of carbonate buried hills is extremely complex, exhibiting strong heterogeneity under the control of factors such as paleogeography, structure, lithology, weathering time, and deep hydrothermal fluids. This is especially true in offshore oil and gas exploration and development, where there is a relatively small number of appraisal wells.

[0003] Currently, most experts and scholars use single-factor reservoir prediction methods, such as paleogeomorphology, fracture prediction, and pre-stack inversion. These methods are mostly qualitative analyses, lacking quantitative research and failing to establish relationships between the various factors.
