A Hierarchical Surface Measurement Strategy Using Non-Repeating Patterns

Hierarchical approaches for automated photogrammetric surface measurement invariably employ image pyramids and image matching at multiple resolutions. Such an approach is also applicable in industrial photogrammetry where projected light patterns are used to provide texture on an otherwise texture-free surface. This paper describes a novel strategy for hierarchical surface measurement in which projected non-repeating target patterns are employed, rather than the lower-resolution levels of an image pyramid. Thus, although the final derived digital surface model is obtained by image matching, preliminary surface models which support the matching are obtained using the non-repeating patterns. These projected patterns allow a simplification of the triangulation phase since they offer the potential of a fast and unambiguous solution to the image point correspondence problem. Following an introduction to the non-repeating pattern strategy, integration of the approach into a multi-camera vision metrology system is described and some experimental measurements are summarized

Quantitative integration of 3D and 4D seismic impedance into reservoir simulation model updating in the Norne Field

The ultimate goal of reservoir simulation in reservoir surveillance technology is to estimate long-term production forecasting and to plan development and management of petroleum fields. However, maintaining reliable reservoir models which honour available static and dynamic data, involve inherent risks due to the uncertainties in space and time of the distribution of hydrocarbons inside reservoirs. Recent applications have shown that these uncertainties can be reduced by quantitative integration of seismic data into the reservoir modelling workflows to identify which areas and reservoir attributes of the model should be updated. This work aims using seismic data to reduce ambiguity in calibrating reservoir flow simulation model with an uncertain petro-elastic model, proposing a circular workflow of inverted seismic impedance (3D and 4D) and engineering studies, with emphasis on the interface between static and dynamic models. The main contribution is to develop an updating procedure for adjusting reservoir simulation response before using it in the production forecasting and enhance the interpretive capability of reservoir properties. Accordingly, the workflow evaluates consistency of reservoir simulation model and inverted seismic impedance, assisted by production history data, to close the loop between reservoir engineering and seismic domains. The methodology is evaluated in a complex, faulted, sandstone reservoir, the Norne benchmark field, where a significant reservoir behaviour understanding (about the static and dynamic reservoir properties) is obtained towards the quantitative integration of seismic impedance data. This leads to diagnosis of the reservoir flow simulation reliability and generation of an updated simulation model consistent with observed seismic and well production history data, as well as a calibrated petro-elastic model. Furthermore, as Norne Field is a benchmark case, this study can be considered to enrich the discussions over deterministic or probabilistic history matching studies.     

ETAS Model Analysis on the Chang Island Earthquake Swarm in Shandong Province,China

Influenced by the layout of seismic network and the location of earthquakes, earthquake catalogs are often incomplete; such incompleteness of earthquake catalogue directly affects the analysis of sequence activity characteristics. In this paper, the GPU-acceleration-based g template matching method is used to scan the continuous waveforms of Chang Island earthquake swarm in Shandong Province from February 9 to August 20, 2017. In total, 15,286 earthquakes events were detected, which was more than 6 times compared with those in network catalogue and thus reduced the magnitude of completeness from 1.0 to 0.5. Based on the intergrated catalogue of earthquakes, the characteristics of Chang Island earthquake swarm were then analyzed using the Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequences (ETAS) model. The stochastic components in the ETAS model are used as a proxy for possible earthquake triggered by external forces (fluids). The results show that the proportion of earthquakes triggered by external forces of Chang Island swarm increases gradually (from 31.9% to 63.5%) and then decreases. The latter stage of swarm development is mainly affected by the self-excitation of earthquakes,suggesting that the fluids play an important role in the development of the Chang Island swarm. However, the triggering intensity of fluids to microseismicity is divergent in different periods, which may be related to the process of fluid permeation.     

Testing of observation operators designed to estimate profile soil moisture from surface measurements

The accurate estimation of profile soil moisture is usually difficult due to the associated costs, strong spatiotemporal variability, and nonlinear relationship between surface and profile moisture. Here, we used data sets from the Soil and Climate Analysis Network to test how reliably observation operators developed based on the cumulative distribution function matching method can predict profile soil moisture from surface measurements. We first analysed how temporal resolution (hourly, daily, and weekly) and data length (half year, 1 year, 2 years, and 4 years) affected the performance of observation operators. The results showed that temporal resolution had a negligible influence on the performance of observation operators. However, a leave‐one‐year‐out cross‐validation showed that data length affected the performance of observation operators; a 2‐year interval was identified as the most suitable duration due to its low uncertainty in prediction accuracy. The robustness of the observation operators was then tested in three primary climates (humid continental, humid subtropical, and semiarid) of the continental United States, with the exponential filter employed as an independent method. The results indicated that observation operators reliably predicted profile soil moisture for most of the tested stations and performed almost equally well as the exponential filter method. The presented results verified the feasibility of using the cumulative distribution function matching method to predict profile soil moisture from surface measurements.

油气分布门限理论的应用——以塔里木盆地为例

塔里木盆地是典型的叠合盆地,广泛发育复杂油气藏,无法用常规的理论方法对其进行预测。本次研究针对塔里木复杂油气藏,采用系统的油气分布门限控藏分析发现,复杂油气藏分布主要受烃源灶、目的层沉积相、有效盖层、低势能区四大功能要素控制,距烃源岩越近,储层物性越好,盖层厚度越大的低势区对油气藏发育越有利。在对各单要素控油气藏分布临界条件分析的基础上,对各要素的控油气分布范围进行定量表征,并建立了功能要素组合控油气分布模式T—CDP_XS(T—主要成藏期;C—盖层;D—沉积相;P_X—低势能区;S—烃源灶)。运用T—CDP_MS(P_M—古隆起)对塔里木台盆区奥陶系四个成藏期背斜类油气藏的分布范围进行预测,对预测结果进行可靠性检验表明,分布门限理论和功能要素组合定量预测油气分布有很好的可行性,对叠合盆地复杂油气勘探有一定指导意义。     

基于空间结构模式匹配的褶皱地貌类型自动识别

褶皱的自动化识别是构造解译、地貌类型划分、三维建模等工作的基础。目前,基于地形形态进行空间统计特征分析的地貌类型自动识别方法,难于满足以“对称重复”空间结构为特征的褶皱构造地貌的识别需要。本文以基于ARG的褶皱场景建模为切入点,利用形式文法定义不同褶皱类型的空间结构模式,形成了一种基于空间结构模式匹配的褶皱构造自动识别方法,进而有效地支持了褶皱地貌的自动化识别。该方法包括4个环节：（1）根据核部地层与横切剖面线提取原则,提取可能存在褶皱的场景条带;（2）基于邻接ARG建模方法对场景条带进行场景空间结构的建模与化简;（3）将化简后的邻接ARG模型表达成句子,并通过判别其能否由模式文法推导而来,实现针对不同褶皱构造模式的匹配识别;（4）基于识别出的褶皱场景进行山、谷的进一步判别,最终确定褶皱构造地貌类型。实验表明,本方法可以较为准确地识别出庐山北部山地区域的褶皱构造,并确定褶皱地貌类型。该方法基本解决了构造地貌类型的自动化识别问题,是对传统地貌形态划分方法的有效补充。
