Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of earthquake rock physics technology, and in particular to a method, device, medium and program product for predicting seismic dispersion attenuation in partially saturated rocks. Background Technology

[0002] Partially saturated rock refers to a rock state in which water and other immiscible fluids coexist in the pores, but the water does not completely fill the pores. The presence of multiple fluids in the pores, and their uneven distribution, complicates the pore structure, affecting the flow and distribution of fluids within the rock.

[0003] When seismic waves propagate through partially saturated rock, the differences in properties of various fluids within the rock generate mesoscale fluid flow. Existing theoretical and experimental studies have shown that mesoscale flow can produce significant seismic wave velocity dispersion and attenuation. However, traditional rock physics models can only assume the pore structure and fluid distribution within partially saturated rock, or rely on predictions based on experimental data, thus affecting the prediction results of seismic dispersion and attenuation in rocks based on these assumptions.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an accurate and reliable prediction scheme for seismic dispersion attenuation in partially saturated rocks is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a method, device, medium, and product for predicting seismic dispersion attenuation in partially saturated rocks.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for predicting seismic dispersion attenuation in partially saturated rock, as provided in Embodiment 1 of this application. This embodiment is applicable to predicting seismic dispersion attenuation within reservoirs with complex microporous structures. The method can be executed by a partially saturated rock seismic dispersion attenuation prediction device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in a device with data processing capabilities. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0034] S110. Acquire a first CT image of the target rock sample in a dry state, a second CT image in a partially water-saturated state, and a third CT image in a fully water-saturated state. The first, second, and third CT images are acquired using the same CT scanner under the same scanning conditions.

[0035] The target rock sample can be a core drilled from the target reservoir section, and its type can be quartz, calcite, dolomite, carbonate rock or other types of rock.

[0036] A dry state refers to a target rock sample with 0% water saturation, a fully water-saturated state refers to a target rock sample with 100% water saturation, and a partially water-saturated state refers to a target rock sample with water saturation between 0% and 100%. Specifically, CT images of the same target rock sample can be obtained in dry, partially water-saturated, and fully water-saturated states by depressurization and water absorption (i.e., gradually increasing water saturation) respectively; alternatively, CT images of the same target rock sample can be obtained in fully water-saturated, partially water-saturated, and dry states by desiccation and drainage (i.e., gradually decreasing water saturation).

[0037] The scanning conditions for a CT scanner when scanning a target rock sample may include tube voltage, tube current, scanning time, slice thickness, pitch, image reconstruction algorithm, and the orientation of the target rock sample. Scanning the same target rock sample under different water saturation states using the same CT scanner and under the same scanning conditions ensures that the first, second, and third CT images have the same resolution, and that the noise level and grayscale range are relatively stable and consistent. This facilitates subsequent comparative analysis of the first, second, and third CT images, improving the reliability of the image analysis results.

[0038] In this application, the acquired CT images are the results of three-dimensional scanning of the target rock sample. Since subsequent processing involves a large amount of computation, to improve computational efficiency, this application selects two-dimensional slice images from three mutually perpendicular planes for analysis.

[0039] For example, Indiana limestone was selected as the target rock sample. A micro-CT scanner was used to scan the sample under dry, drained conditions at different water saturation levels (0%, 88%, and 100%). The sample scanning area was 40 mm in diameter and 38.4 mm in height, with voxel dimensions of 0.022 x 0.022 x 0.022 mm. 3 .like Figure 2 The image shows two-dimensional slice images of an Indiana limestone sample at 88% water saturation in the XY, YZ, and XZ directions.

[0040] S120. Based on the first CT image, the second CT image, and the third CT image, perform image reconstruction to obtain the gas saturation image of the target rock sample under the partially water-saturated state.

[0041] In CT images, the CT values ​​of mineral particles, water, and gas differ significantly, resulting in distinct color variations in their images. The CT value of mineral particles depends on their density and atomic number. Low-density minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and calcite have CT values ​​of approximately 1500–2500 HU, while high-density minerals such as pyrite and barite have CT values ​​of approximately 3000–6000 HU, appearing as bright white in CT images. Pure water has a CT value of HU, while saline water or water containing dissolved substances has a CT value of approximately 0–100 HU, appearing as light gray in CT images. Dry air has a CT value of -1000 HU, while other gases such as CO2 and CH4 have CT values ​​of approximately -1000 to -500 HU, appearing as dark gray in CT images.

[0042] In this application, the first CT image is of the target rock sample in a dry state, where the pores are filled with gas, the boundary between the rock matrix and the pores is clear, and the pores appear as black spots or connected networks, clearly identifying primary pores, cracks, and dissolution cavities. The second CT image is of the target rock sample in a partially water-saturated state, where gas and water coexist in the pores, and the wettability affects the appearance of non-uniform patches or finger-like edges. The third CT image is of the target rock sample in a fully water-saturated state, where the pores are completely filled with water, the grayscale of the pore area is significantly brighter, the contrast between the matrix and the pores is reduced, and the image uniformity is enhanced.

[0043] Therefore, in this application, the distribution of fluid in the target rock sample under partial water saturation can be determined by comparing the differences between CT images of the target rock sample under different water saturation states. Specifically, the first CT image under dry state, the second CT image under partial water saturation state, and the third CT image under fully water saturation state can be compared pairwise, such as comparing the first CT image with the second CT image, comparing the first CT image with the third CT image, and comparing the second CT image with the third CT image, to obtain the distribution of pores, water, and gas in the target rock sample, thereby obtaining the gas saturation image of the target rock sample under partial water saturation state.

[0044] S130. Perform connected component labeling processing on the gas saturation image to determine each gas cell in the gas saturation image and the radius and volume fraction of each gas cell.

[0045] Connected component labeling refers to identifying connected regions in a gas saturation image through threshold segmentation. A gas pocket is a region of gas accumulation or a pore space containing gas within the target rock sample. For example, regions in a gas saturation image with CT values ​​below a certain threshold can be considered as gas, and the same region can be labeled as a gas pocket.

[0046] Specifically, the gas saturation image can first be binarized and denoised. A unique label can then be assigned to each independent gas cell in the image based on a four-connected or eight-connected labeling algorithm. The geometric information of each gas cell, such as area, centroid, boundary, and radius, can be determined based on the shape of the pixels occupied by each gas cell. Then, the volume fraction of the gas cell can be determined based on the ratio of the number of pixels occupied by each gas cell to the total number of pixels in the image.

[0047] In this application, to avoid inaccurate radius calculation due to the different shapes of the air bags, the minimum circumscribed circle radius and the maximum inscribed circle radius of each air bag can be obtained first, and then the average of the minimum circumscribed circle radius and the maximum inscribed circle radius can be taken as the radius of the air bag.

[0048] For example, Figures 3a to 3c These are schematic diagrams illustrating the distribution statistics of air pockets in the XY, YZ, and XZ directions, respectively, provided in Embodiment 1 of this application. Figure 3a As shown, from left to right, the distribution charts are: the smallest circumscribed circle radius as the air-bag radius, the average radius as the air-bag radius, and the largest inscribed circle radius as the air-bag radius in the XY direction; Figure 3b As shown, from left to right, the distribution charts are: the smallest circumscribed circle radius as the air-filled radius, the average radius as the air-filled radius, and the largest inscribed circle radius as the air-filled radius in the YZ direction; Figure 3c As shown, from left to right, the distribution statistics are as follows: the smallest circumscribed circle radius as the air bag radius, the average radius as the air bag radius, and the largest inscribed circle radius as the air bag radius in the YZ direction.

[0049] S140. Based on the partially saturated rock seismic wave propagation model, the seismic dispersion attenuation of the target rock sample under the partially water-saturated state is predicted according to the radius and volume fraction of each air pocket, and the prediction result is obtained.

[0050] Seismic wave propagation models for partially saturated rocks can be based on the elastic properties of the rock, the physical properties of the fluid, and their interactions, and are established through experimental verification. Common seismic wave propagation models for partially saturated rocks include Biot theory, the BISQ model, the White model, and the Johnson model.

[0051] In this application, the radius and volume fraction of the air pocket can be used to provide air saturation parameters for the propagation model of seismic waves in partially saturated rocks, and thereby derive the prediction results of seismic dispersion attenuation of the target rock sample under partially water saturated conditions.

[0052] This invention provides a method for predicting seismic dispersion attenuation in partially saturated rocks. The method involves acquiring CT images of a target rock sample in dry, partially water-saturated, and fully water-saturated states. Image reconstruction is performed based on the CT images in each state to obtain the gas saturation image of the target rock sample in the partially water-saturated state. Connected component labeling is applied to the gas saturation image to determine each gas pocket, its radius, and volume fraction. Based on a seismic wave propagation model for partially saturated rocks, the seismic dispersion attenuation of the target rock sample in the partially water-saturated state is predicted according to the radius and volume fraction of each gas pocket, yielding the prediction result. This technical solution improves the accuracy and reliability of predicting seismic dispersion attenuation in partially saturated rocks by accurately characterizing the fluid distribution features of partially saturated rocks using CT scanning technology.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a method for predicting seismic dispersion attenuation in partially saturated rock, provided in Embodiment 2 of this application. This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment, specifically optimizing the CT image reconstruction process. Figure 4 As shown, the method in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps.

[0055] S210. Acquire a first CT image of the target rock sample in a dry state, a second CT image in a partially water-saturated state, and a third CT image in a fully water-saturated state. The first, second, and third CT images are acquired using the same CT scanner under the same scanning conditions.

[0056] S220. Determine the porosity image of the target rock sample based on the first CT image and the third CT image.

[0057] Among them, the porosity image can display the spatial distribution of porosity in a target rock sample. Specifically, the ratio of pore space volume to rock sample volume can be mapped to image pixel values ​​to visually demonstrate the heterogeneity of pores inside the target rock sample.

[0058] In this application, the first CT image and the third CT image can be precisely aligned in space first. For example, rigid or non-rigid registration algorithms can be used to correct the displacement caused by scanning or sample deformation. Then, based on the CT values ​​corresponding to each pixel in the corrected first CT image and the third CT image, the porosity value of each pixel is determined, thereby determining the porosity image of the target rock sample.

[0059] For example, the first CT image and the third CT image can be input into a pre-trained porosity image generation model. The porosity image generation model extracts and fuses the image features of the first CT image and the third CT image to obtain the porosity image of the target rock sample.

[0060] Optionally, before determining the porosity image of the target rock sample based on the first CT image and the third CT image, the method further includes: determining the CT value of each pixel in the first CT image, the CT value of each pixel in the second CT image, and the CT value of each pixel in the third CT image.

[0061] To facilitate the processing of the first, second, and third CT images, the CT value corresponding to each pixel in each CT image can be determined separately.

[0062] The CT value, generated through X-ray scanning and mathematical reconstruction algorithms, reflects the material's ability to absorb X-rays. Specifically, mathematical algorithms, such as filtered back-projection algorithms and iterative reconstruction algorithms, can convert the original projection data into pixel values ​​in an image.

[0063] Optionally, determining the CT value of each pixel in the first CT image, the CT value of each pixel in the second CT image, and the CT value of each pixel in the third CT image includes: determining the CT value of each pixel in the first CT image, the CT value of each pixel in the second CT image, and the CT value of each pixel in the third CT image using the following formula:

[0064]

[0065] In the formula, CT1 represents the CT value of each pixel in the first CT image, CT2 represents the CT value of each pixel in the second CT image, and CT3 represents the CT value of each pixel in the third CT image. Indicates porosity, CT grain CT value represents the CT value of mineral grains. air CT value represents the CT value of air. water CT represents the CT value of water. gas The CT value represents the natural gas, v1 represents the percentage of water in the pore space, and v2 represents the percentage of natural gas in the pore space.

[0066] In this application, since the resolution of a CT scanner may be insufficient to identify the interface between mineral particles, water, and air, and the percentage of mineral particles, water, and air in each pixel is also different, it can be assumed that the CT value of each pixel is approximately equal to the average value of the CT response.

[0067] In the above formulas, porosity The percentage of water in the pore space (v1) and the percentage of gas in the pore space (v2) can be measured experimentally, along with the CT value (CT) of the mineral particles. grain CT value of air air CT value of natural gas gas CT value of water water It is usually a fixed range, which can be determined based on empirical values ​​or experimental measurements.

[0068] Specifically, for the first CT image in a dry state, each pixel contains mineral particles and air. Therefore, the CT value of each pixel in the first CT image can be determined based on porosity, the CT value of mineral particles, and the CT value of air. For the second CT image in a partially water-saturated state, each pixel contains mineral particles, water, and air. Therefore, the CT value of each pixel in the second CT image can be determined based on porosity, the CT value of mineral particles, the CT value of water, and the CT value of air. For the third CT image in a fully water-saturated state, each pixel contains mineral particles and water. Therefore, the CT value of each pixel in the third CT image can be determined based on porosity, the CT value of mineral particles, and the CT value of water.

[0069] Optionally, determining the porosity image of the target rock sample based on the first CT image and the third CT image includes: subtracting the CT value of each pixel in the third CT image from the CT value of each pixel in the first CT image to obtain the first CT value of each pixel; and constructing the porosity image of the target rock sample based on the first CT value of each pixel.

[0070] In the first CT image, each pixel contains mineral particles and air, while in the third CT image, each pixel contains mineral particles and water. Therefore, after calibrating and aligning each pixel in the third CT image with each pixel in the second CT image, the CT value representing the porosity of each pixel can be obtained by subtracting the CT value of each pixel in the first CT image from the CT value of each pixel in the third CT image.

[0071] Specifically, the CT value of each pixel in the gas content image can be represented by the following formula:

[0072]

[0073] S230. Determine the gas content image of the target rock sample based on the second CT image and the third CT image.

[0074] Among them, the gas content image is a visualization of the distribution of natural gas content inside the target rock sample, and different colors or gray levels can be used to represent different gas contents.

[0075] In this application, the second CT image and the third CT image can be precisely aligned in space first. For example, rigid or non-rigid registration algorithms can be used to correct the displacement caused by scanning or sample deformation. Then, based on the CT values ​​corresponding to each pixel in the corrected second CT image and the third CT image, the porosity value of each pixel is determined, thereby determining the gas content image of the target rock sample.

[0076] For example, the second and third CT images can be input into a pre-trained gas content image generation model. The gas content image generation model extracts and fuses the image features of the second and third CT images to obtain the gas content image of the target rock sample.

[0077] Optionally, determining the gas content image of the target rock sample based on the second CT image and the third CT image includes: subtracting the CT value of each pixel in the third CT image from the CT value of each pixel in the second CT image to obtain the second CT value of each pixel; and constructing the gas content image of the target rock sample based on the second CT value of each pixel.

[0078] In the second CT image, each pixel contains mineral particles, water, and natural gas. In the third CT image, each pixel contains mineral particles and water. Therefore, after calibrating and aligning each pixel in the third CT image with each pixel in the second CT image, the CT value representing the natural gas content in each pixel can be obtained by subtracting the corresponding CT value of each pixel in the second CT image from the CT value of each pixel in the third CT image.

[0079] Specifically, the CT value of each pixel in the gas content image can be represented by the following formula:

[0080]

[0081] Since the sum of the percentage of pore space occupied by water (v1) and the percentage of pore space occupied by natural gas (v2) is 1, the above formula can be simplified to:

[0082] S240. Based on the porosity image and the gas content image, determine the gas saturation image of the target rock sample under the partially water-saturated state.

[0083] Gas saturation can be defined as the ratio of gas volume to pore volume. Therefore, in this application, the ratio of the gas content image to the porosity image can be used as the gas saturation image of the target rock sample under partially water-saturated conditions. Furthermore, the gas content image and porosity image can be input into a gas saturation image generation model to extract and fuse features from the gas content image and porosity image respectively, thereby obtaining the gas saturation image of the target rock sample under partially water-saturated conditions.

[0084] Optionally, determining the gas saturation image of the target rock sample under the partially water-saturated state based on the porosity image and the gas content image includes: dividing the CT value of each pixel in the gas content image by the corresponding CT value of each pixel in the porosity image to determine the third CT value of each pixel; and constructing the gas saturation image of the target rock sample under the partially water-saturated state based on the third CT value of each pixel.

[0085] Specifically, the CT value of each pixel in the gas saturation image can be represented by the following formula:

[0086]

[0087] For example, with Figure 2 Taking the two-dimensional slice image of the Indiana limestone at 88% water saturation as an example, two-dimensional slice images of the rock sample at 0% and 100% water saturation were obtained respectively, and processed according to steps S220 to S240 above to obtain the gas saturation image of the Indiana limestone under partially water saturated conditions, as shown. Figure 5 As shown. In Figure 5 In the image, from left to right, are the gas saturation images of the rock sample in the XY, YZ, and XZ directions when the water saturation is 88%. The red dots in the image represent natural gas, and the blue background represents water.

[0088] S250. Perform connected component labeling processing on the gas saturation image to determine each gas cell in the gas saturation image and the radius and volume fraction of each gas cell.

[0089] S260. Based on the partially saturated rock seismic wave propagation model, the seismic dispersion attenuation of the target rock sample under the partially water-saturated state is predicted according to the radius and volume fraction of each air pocket, and the prediction result is obtained.

[0090] This invention provides a method for predicting seismic dispersion attenuation in partially saturated rocks. The method determines the porosity image of a target rock sample based on a first and third CT image; determines the gas content image of the target rock sample based on a second and third CT image; and determines the gas saturation image of the target rock sample under partially water-saturated conditions based on the porosity and gas content images. This technical solution improves the accuracy and reliability of predicting seismic dispersion attenuation in partially saturated rocks by comparing CT images of rock samples under different water saturation conditions to determine the porosity and gas content images.

[0091] Example 3

[0092] Figure 6 This is a flowchart of a method for predicting seismic dispersion attenuation in partially saturated rock, provided in Embodiment 2 of this application. This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment, specifically optimizing the process for predicting seismic dispersion attenuation in partially saturated rock. Figure 6 As shown, the method in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps.

[0093] S310. Acquire a first CT image of the target rock sample in a dry state, a second CT image in a partially water-saturated state, and a third CT image in a fully water-saturated state. The first, second, and third CT images are acquired using the same CT scanner under the same scanning conditions.

[0094] S320. Based on the first CT image, the second CT image, and the third CT image, perform image reconstruction to obtain the gas saturation image of the target rock sample under the partially water-saturated state.

[0095] S330. Perform connected component labeling processing on the gas saturation image to determine each gas cell in the gas saturation image and the radius and volume fraction of each gas cell.

[0096] S340. Based on the partial saturated rock seismic wave propagation model, according to the radius and volume fraction of each air pocket, the plane wave of the target rock sample under the partial water saturation state is analyzed to determine the complex P-wave number and S-wave number.

[0097] Specifically, based on the partial saturated rock seismic wave propagation model, gas patch embeddings can be added piece by piece to the background phase of a fully water-saturated target rock sample to achieve partial saturation, according to the radius and volume fraction of the gas pocket, so as to realize the plane wave analysis of the target rock sample in a partially water-saturated state.

[0098] Among them, the complex P-wave wave number and the S-wave wave number are characteristics of seismic waves propagating in the target rock sample. When seismic dispersion attenuation occurs, the wave number is in complex form.

[0099] Optionally, the propagation model of partially saturated rock seismic waves is as follows:

[0100]
