Research and Application of a Quantitative Prediction Method for Sandstone Thickness in a Zone with Dense Well Pattern Development Based on an Objective Function.

The seismic amplitude along a layer in a section can reveal lateral reservoir changes and is one of the important means of reservoir prediction, but it is often difficult to establish the quantitative relationship between the seismic amplitude and sandstone thickness in wells in blocks with denser development. The use of a lower-amplitude slice for precisely quantitatively predicting the sandstone thickness, based on the goal of obtaining data on layers in the development zone with a dense well pattern, is accurate and has a valuable advantage. The method of formation slice optimization based on an objective function is studied to improve the ability of reservoir characterization by seismic attributes. This method has been applied to the reservoir prediction of the G I₂ sedimentary unit in the ZQX block of the SRT oilfield and has achieved good results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
