Abstract
Amplitude versus offset attribute inversion primarily utilizes the change in amplitude with offset to extract lithologic information of the reservoir. We performed high resolution imaging using three-dimensional seismic data and simulated four different models of gas hydrate and free gas to optimize the selection of sensitive attributes for gas hydrate characterization. We optimized the selection of sensitive attributes for gas hydrate characterization. Our research identified the gradient parameter G as a highly sensitive attribute for characterizing gas hydrate reservoirs. By comparing theoretical models with drilling site data, we predicted the saturation variations of gas hydrate based on the amplitude of G and summarized the amplitude versus offset characteristics and sensitive attributes of gas hydrate at different saturation levels. The results offer valuable insights for identification of gas hydrate in seismic data and provide a reference for their characterization.
期刊介绍:
Geophysical Prospecting publishes the best in primary research on the science of geophysics as it applies to the exploration, evaluation and extraction of earth resources. Drawing heavily on contributions from researchers in the oil and mineral exploration industries, the journal has a very practical slant. Although the journal provides a valuable forum for communication among workers in these fields, it is also ideally suited to researchers in academic geophysics.
