Abstract:

In the Chunguang exploration area, the Carboniferous strata show strong seismic reflections, while the Cretaceous reservoir above and vertically close to Carboniferous is thin and laterally superposed, and completely shielded by the strong reflections from the Carboniferous. Vertically, we used forward modelling to get the dominant frequencies of AC and GR curves, and reconstructed the acoustic impedance curve to improve reservoir identification effects. Horizontally, the distribution of thin reservoirs shielded by strong reflections is predicted using high-resolution seismic inversion with waveform indication. Twelve lithologic traps has been identified, and commercial oil and gas flows have been obtained from one preliminary exploration well and one evaluation well. It has been proved that the technology can effectively predict thin reservoirs shielded by strong reflections, and it is also of great significance for predicting thin reservoirs on other similar complex background.

Key words: Chunguang area, strong reflection, seismic forward modeling, sensitivity analysis, curve reconstruction, seismic inversion, thin reservoir prediction
