Abstract:

Although deterministic inversion and post-stack geostatistical inversion have been widely used in re-servoir prediction,they are not very effective in predicting thin reservoirs in complex geological background. In the Xihu Sag, difficulties in exploration and development have been caused by four problems, i.e., large burial depth, complex sedimentary environment, rapid reservoir phase transition and thin coal seams. Based on regional geological modelling and rock physical characteristics, the post-stack geostatistical method is likely better in coal seam prediction. The coal seam is taken as a known geological parameter to constrain the pre-stack geostatistical inversion. Consequently, seismic resolution is enhanced and fine thin reservoirs are delineated. This technique could solve the current poor reservoir prediction in the East China Sea,and facilitates well development. More importantly, the accuracy of reservoir prediction is improved by 15%, and the understanding in the reservoir sedimentation is enhanced, which makes this technique more applicable in other places.
