Seismic Forward and Inverse Simulation in a Tight Reservoir Model of Loess Plateau Region

To find out the seismic wave field propagation principles in loess plateau near surface of the Ordos Basin and the seismic response characteristics of tight oil reservoirs, this study established a geological-geophysical model under the real conditions of ground surface of loess plateau, and launched full elastic seismic wave equation forward modeling and pre-stack elastic seismic inversion study. Comparison of modeling and real seismic data shows that, the loose and wavy loess plateau surface is the main reason for causing the problems of seismic static correction and interference wave. Tomographic static correction method with the constraint of traces near shot point can effectively solve the problem of seismic static correction in the loess plateau and enhance seismic imaging accuracy, S-wave impedance obtained from pre-stack seismic inversion can identify sandstone effectively, and Poisson's ratio can identify oil-bearing reservoirs. The seismic forward and inverse simulation and rock physical analysis provide a solid theoretical and experimental basis for the seismic prediction of tight oil reservoir, and have worked well in the oil exploration and development in the loess plateau of the Ordos Basin.
