岩石物理测量是油藏水驱开采时移地震监测的基础.在实验室对来自胜利油田的5块岩石样品模拟储层条件进行了水驱和气驱动态岩石物理弹性测量,重点分析了流体替换、温度、孔隙压力对岩石纵、横波速度的影响.实验表明,在水驱情形下,由于流体替换和温度、孔隙压力变化所引起的岩石纵横波速度的变化均很小,实施时移地震监测具有较大的风险性.相比之下,气驱可能引起较为明显的纵波速度变化,有利于时移地震监测的实施.进一步完善实验方法、丰富实验内容、是今后时移地震岩石物理实验研究的主要任务.     

地震油藏动态监测的属性表征机理研究

时移地震属性表征油藏参数动态变化机理研究是有效区分不同油藏参数变化,进行时移地震解释的理论基础,是时移地震实际应用的关键环节.从疏松砂岩油藏岩石物理研究出发,计算得到含油饱和度和有效压力变化引起纵、横波速度变化的明显差异.并以此为基础,通过解耦后的地震波动方程模型模拟,分析证明不同偏移距地震振幅对含油饱和度变化响应规律存在差异,分析得到油藏有效压力和含油饱和度变化时P-P反射波和P-S转换波叠前地震属性差异特征,对比分析了油藏有效压力和含油饱和度变化时的P-P反射波和P-S转换波AVO(Amplitude Versus Of fset,振幅随偏移距变化)属性变化规律和差异特征.理论模型研究结果证明了利用叠前时移地震信息(叠前地震属性和地震AVO信息)区分不同油藏参数动态变化的可行性和在有效提高时移地震资料解释精度方面的潜力.同时,研究也表明针对目标油田深入理解油藏参数变化的时移地震响应机理对制定有效的时移地震资料处理和解释方案十分重要.     

利用振幅谱差识别水淹层的变化

储层在长期水驱前后，其中的流体及储层本身会发生变化，导致速度和密度的变化，这一变化为应用四维地震监测油藏的变化提供了依据.本文基于平面波入射水平层状介质，推导出了用振幅谱差（四维振幅谱差）预测油藏变化的公式，并给出数值模拟的结果.理论计算表明，不同程度水驱和不同层位发生水淹其振幅谱差呈现明显的不同，从而在理论上证实了用振幅谱差预测油藏油水变化的可能.这为实际工作中利用振幅谱差预测地下油水变化奠定了理论基础.

时移地震监测天然气水合物开采可行性分析

时移地震储藏监测是一种提高油气采收率的有效技术,但该技术应用需要满足一定的储藏条件,因此时移地震的可行性研究非常有必要.天然气水合物的开采过程,主要是通过有关措施(加温、降压、注入化学材料等)使沉积物中的固态水合物变成气体开采出来,这将改变水合物储层的物理性质和地震反射特性,原理上为进行时移地震监测提供了条件.本文通过数值模拟分析发现:扩散型水合物藏在开采过程中有明显的地震信号变化,可以用时移地震对这类水合物藏的开采进行监测;渗漏型水合物藏的时移地震监测是否可行与其所含气体含量大小有关,气体含量低的可以用时移地震进行检测,气体含量高的是否能用时移地震进行检测要视具体情况而定.

本文主要研究前期为常规三维地震勘探和后期为高精度三维地震勘探的这种典型非重复采集时移地震的可行性,主要使用正演模拟和匹配处理相结合的方法进行.本文推导了基于PML边界的三维声波波动方程时空域高阶有限差分正演方程,根据岩石物理流体替代分析方法计算得到时移前后储层的弹性参数,建立了时移地震地球物理模型,设计了常规三维和高精度三维观测系统,进行地震正演模拟,获得了非重复采集时移地震理论模拟数据.利用匹配处理法对非重复采集时移地震正演模拟数据和实际资料进行可行性分析,匹配处理过程主要包括初始数据匹配、一致性处理和互均化处理等.理论模拟数据和实际资料的匹配处理结果表明,通过针对性的分析和处理,利用非重复采集的地震资料进行时移地震研究是可行的,能够得到较好的时移地震响应,在一定程度上反映了油藏的变化情况.     

陆相薄互层稠油油藏热采时移地震监测研究

目前,针对陆相薄互层油藏实施时移地震监测尚没有明显的突破,加强时移地震方法、理论的研究和应用,对于我国时移地震监测技术的发展和应用具有积极的意义.根据油藏工程理论,在详细分析火烧油层对储层物性影响的基础上,结合已有的实验室岩石物理测量结果,重点就稠油热采过程中温度的剧烈变化对储层岩石和孔隙流体弹性特性的影响进行了较为详细的分析.并开展了薄互层油藏火烧油层地震正演模拟研究.结果表明,在稠油热采过程中,高温高压不仅会使得孔隙流体特性发生显著的改变,而且储层岩石本身弹性特性的变化也非常明显.即使是对于薄层或薄互层,两方面共同的变化将使得稠油热采前后储层弹性特性产生巨大的差异,进而引起显著的地震异常.因此,开展陆相薄互层稠油热采时移地震监测,不仅具有坚实的岩石物理基础,而且具有切实的可行性.     

稠油热采时移地震监测研究与应用

我国具有丰富的稠油资源,但国内外针对陆相薄互层稠油油藏热采动态的时移地震监测研究还很少.通过分析火烧油层对储层的影响,结合已有的岩石物理测量结果,建立了薄互层油藏火烧油层模型,开展了地震正演模拟研究,并给出了应用实例.结果表明,稠油热采(注蒸汽、火烧油层、注热水)会引起储层岩石和孔隙流体弹性特性的显著改变,从而导致明显的地震属性差异;时移地震可以用来划分油层中高温区范围,跟踪高温前缘等.在陆相薄互层稠油田热采开发中,利用时移地震来监测油田开发的全过程是可行的.

Study on attribute characterization for reservoir dynamic monitoring by seismic

Study on characterizing reservoir parameters dynamic variations by time-lapse seismic attributes is the theoretical basis for effectively distinguishing reservoir parameters variations and conducting time-lapse seismic interpretation,and it is also a key step for time-lapse seismic application in real oil fields. Based on the rock physical model of unconsolidated sandstone,the different effects of oil saturation and effective pressure variations on seismic P-wave and S-wave velocities are calculated and analyzed. Using numerical simulation on decoupled wave equations,the responses of seismic amplitude with different offsets to reservoir oil saturation variations are analyzed,pre-stack time-lapse seismic attributes differences for oil saturation and effective pressure variations of P-P wave and P-S converted wave are calculated,and time-lapse seismic AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset) response rules of P-P wave and P-S converted wave to effective pressure and oil saturation variations are compared. The theoretical modeling study shows that it is feasible to distinguish different reservoir parameters dynamic variations by pre-stack time-lapse seismic information,including pre-stack time-lapse seismic attributes and AVO information,which has great potential in improving time-lapse seismic interpreta-tion precision. It also shows that the time-lapse seismic response mechanism study on objective oil fields is especially important in establishing effective time-lapse seismic data process and interpreta-tion scheme.     

时移地震资料贝叶斯AVO波形反演

针对时移地震差异数据,给出了一种基于贝叶斯理论的AVO波形反演方法.该方法可以利用时移地震差异数据同时反演出纵波阻抗、横波阻抗和密度的变化.利用时移地震资料进行反演,由于采集和处理过程中存在一定的差异,不同年份地震资料在非注采过程影响区域也会存在一定的变化,而该变化会导致反演结果在非注采区域有较大的变化.针对这一问题,本文采用贝叶斯理论框架,将待求的纵横波阻抗、密度变化的先验信息和包含在地震数据中的信息结合起来,对于纵横波阻抗和密度变化,假设其服从Gauss分布,并以时移地震分别反演的结果作为其期望,同时,为了更好地表征储层属性变化,提高分辨率和抑制非注采区域弹性参数的变化,假设弹性参数变化的导数服从改进的Cauchy分布.数值模拟试验和实际资料处理结果皆表明,本文提出的反演方法能够有效地抑制假象,突出储层性质的变化,得到高分辨率的弹性参数变化信息,为研究储层属性的变化和优化开采方案提供更多的有效的信息.     

Iterated extended Kalman filter method for time-lapse seismic full-waveform inversion

Time-lapse seismic data is useful for identifying fluid movement and pressure and saturation changes in a petroleum reservoir and for monitoring of CO₂ injection. The focus of this paper is estimation of time-lapse changes with uncertainty quantification using full-waveform inversion. The purpose of also estimating the uncertainty in the inverted parameters is to be able to use the inverted seismic data quantitatively for updating reservoir models with ensemble-based methods. We perform Bayesian inversion of seismic waveform data in the frequency domain by combining an iterated extended Kalman filter with an explicit representation of the sensitivity matrix in terms of Green functions (acoustic approximation). Using this method, we test different strategies for inversion of the time-lapse seismic data with uncertainty. We compare the results from a sequential strategy (making a prior from the monitor survey using the inverted baseline survey) with a double difference strategy (inverting the difference between the monitor and baseline data). We apply the methods to a subset of the Marmousi2 P-velocity model. Both strategies performed well and relatively good estimates of the monitor velocities and the time-lapse differences were obtained. For the estimated time-lapse differences, the double difference strategy gave the lowest errors.     

The added value of joint PP–PS inversion for reservoir characterization: A case study using Jubarte PRM seismic data (offshore Brazil)

The added value of the joint pre-stack inversion of PP (incident P-wave and reflected P-wave) and PS (incident P-wave and reflected S-wave) seismic data for the time-lapse application is shown. We focus on the application of this technique to the time-lapse (four-dimensional) multicomponent Jubarte field permanent reservoir monitoring seismic data. The joint inversion results are less sensitive to noise in the input data and show a better match with the rock physics models calibrated for the field. Further, joint inversion improves S-impedance estimates and provides a more robust quantitative interpretation, allowing enhanced differentiation between pore pressure and fluid saturation changes, which will be extremely useful for reservoir management. Small changes in reservoir properties are expected in the short time between the time-lapse seismic acquisitions used in the Jubarte project (only 1 year apart). The attempt to recover subtle fourth-dimensional effects via elastic inversion is recurrent in reservoir characterization projects, either due to the small sensitivity of the reservoirs to fluid and pressure changes or the short interval between the acquisitions. Therefore, looking for methodologies that minimize the uncertainty of fourth-dimensional inversion outputs is of fundamental importance. Here, we also show the differences between PP only and joint PP–PS inversion workflows and parameterizations that can be applied in other projects. We show the impact of using multicomponent data as input for elastic seismic inversions in the analysis of the time-lapse differences of the elastic properties. The larger investment in the acquisition and processing of multicomponent seismic data is shown to be justified by the improved results from the fourth-dimensional joint inversion.     

弹性波阻抗在时移地震中的应用分析

常规声波波阻抗由于缺乏横波的信息,使得它对于流体的变化很不敏感,而弹性波阻抗反演,除了与纵波速度,密度有关之外,还与横波速度、入射角度有关,由于考虑了AVO(Amplitude Variation with Offset)效应,使得对流体和岩性的预测能力增强.本文将弹性波阻抗反演应用于时移地震中,采用AVA(Amplitude Variation with Angle)约束稀疏脉冲反演来进行弹性波阻抗反演,得到纵横波阻抗等弹性参数,通过交会图分析,将弹性参数转换为油藏参数,如预测含水饱和度的变化,通过本方法可增强对储层流体的预测,提高储层管理能力.     

Feasibility study using simulation mode for offshore field SZ36-1

Field SZ36-1 is a water-flooded heavy oil reservoir with high porosity and unconsolidated sand. The recovery rate is low so that it becomes a challenge for production. Time-lapse seismic data is studied to improve the oil recovery for this field, This feasibility study analyzes the possible time-lapse seismic attribute spatial distribution using dynamic data and the reservoir model to determine the optimum time to acquire a new seismic survey. Based on the study, it is found that the time-lapse seismic response for this unconsolidated sand has a strong signature due to solution gas when the reservoir pressure is below the bubble point. This indicates that acquiring a new survey after 10 years of production is appropriate for a time-lapse seismic application.
