重力-地震联合变密度剥层技术研究深层构造

在某些已经完成三维地震勘探工作的油气田区,因深层地震资料不好,深层构造难以得到解决。虽然结合地震资料与重力资料的重力剥皮技术得到开发和使用,但由于它没有考虑地层密度的横向变化,因此未能获得满意的处理效果。为了改善该类地区的重力勘探效果,本文提出了变密度剥层方法,它利用各地层的三维地震深度资料和三维地震层速度转换的具横向变化的密度资料,通过正演其重力效应,并从布格重力异常中去除,从而得到主要反映深部地质构造信息的变密度剥层重力异常。在北非某区块,除基底顶面外,各层地震资料良好,通过重力-地震联合变密度剥层处理得到的剥层重力异常,与已知地震和钻井资料吻合良好,为深部基底研究奠定了良好的基础。

The application of combined gravity and seismic data formation separation for revealing deep structure

In some oilfields with 3D seismic data, the deeper structure cannot be observed due to poor quality deep seismic data. Layer stripping using both seismic and gravity data is a solution for this problem but it cannot get satisfactory results because the horizontal variations in formation density are ignored. We present a variable-density formation separation technique to address this problem. Based on 3D seismic depth data and laterally-variable density derived from 3D seismic velocity data, the upper formation gravity effect is calculated by forward modeling and removed from the Bouguer gravity. The formation-separated gravity anomaly with variable density is obtained, which mainly reflects the deeper geological structure. In block XX of North Africa, the shallow formations seismic data is excellent but the data at the top of basement is poor. The formation-separated gravity anomaly processed under the control of 3D seismic data fits well with the known seismic interpretation and wells. It makes the geological interpretation more reliable.
