Abstract:

The Yingmai-2 area is situated on the Yingmai-2 structure in the southern part of the Yingmaili low bulge of the Tabei uplift, Tarim basin. Affected by tectonic movements and magmatic intrusion, a large number of directionally-aligned high-angle fractures were developed on the structure. The reservoirs are mainly fractured. Due to the deep burial depth and strong heterogeneity of the reservoirs in the Yingmai-2 area, predicting these fractured reservoirs using post-stack fracture prediction techniques like coherence, curvature, and ant-tracking proves challenging. Based on the pre-stack wide-azimuth offset vector tile (OVT) domain gather data from the Yingmai-2 area, well-controlled optimization processing of pre-stack OVT domain gather was implemented by employing techniques such as pre-stack denoising and anisotropy time difference correction to yield high-quality pre-stack wide-azimuth gather data. Subsequently, pre-stack facies-controlled fracture prediction was conducted under the constraints of post-stack multiple attributes that can represent fractured-vuggy reservoirs, including gradient structure tensor, amplitude curvature, and residual wave impedance. This methodology can effectively predict fractures in ultra-deep fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoirs, and offer valuable insights for the exploration and development of fractured reservoirs in the Tarim basin.
