    摘要: The systems and methods described in this specification relate to generating a low frequency model of a subterranean formation for performing a seismic inversion. The systems and methods receive seismic data for a first region of the subterranean formation and well log data of one or more wells located at the first region. The systems and methods determine one or more relative layer attributes of the first region, one or more first input values for a machine learning model, and one or more second input values for the machine learning model. The systems and methods generate, a first relative low frequency model for the first region, and extrapolate, by executing the machine learning model by the processor, the first relative low frequency model to a second region of the subterranean formation.

    摘要: A seismic quantitative prediction method for shale total organic carbon (TOC) based on sensitive parameter volumes is as follows. A target stratum for a TOC content to be measured is determined, logging curves with high correlations with TOC contents are analyzed, the logging curves are found as sensitive parameters; sample data are constructed using the sensitive parameters; a radial basis function (RBF) neural network is trained with the sample data as an input and the TOC content at a depth corresponding to the sample data as an output to obtain a RBF neural network prediction model; sensitive parameter volumes are obtained by using the sensitive parameters and post stack three-dimension seismic data to invert; prediction samples are constructed using the sensitive parameter volumes; the predicted samples are input to the RBF neural network prediction model to calculate corresponding TOC values, thereby the TOC content of the target stratum is predicted.

    摘要: Systems and methods for identifying sanding in production wells using time-lapse sonic data. Formation anisotropy can be characterized in terms of shear moduli in a vertical wellbore, e.g., vertical shear moduli C44 and C55 in the wellbore axial planes and horizontal shear modulus C66 in the wellbore cross-sectional plane. Changes in formation anisotropy between different times can provide qualitative indicators of the occurrence of sanding in the production well. Before production begins, the horizontal shear modulus C66 is typically less than the vertical shear modulus C44 or C55 or both. At a subsequent time after sanding occurs, the horizontal shear modulus C66 is typically greater than the vertical shear modulus C44 or C55 or both. By comparing the shear moduli of the vertical wellbore at different times, it is possible to identify the occurrence of sanding in the production well using time-lapse sonic data.

    摘要: Embodiments of a method for transforming petrophysical properties into seismic attributes are disclosed herein. Embodiments of the method utilize an AVO expression which maps lithology to P-wave reflectivity at a particular angle through their λ/μ values (or equivalent elastic properties K/μ and γ). Rocks with different λ/μ will be projected to the different angle and reflectivity. The equation which transforms λ/μ to reflection angle may be referred to as a Generalized Angle Transform Equation (GATE). Further details and advantages of various embodiments of the method are described in more herein.
