The calculated maximum, minimum, and average values of TOC and porosity are combined with the established TOC and porosity calculation models (Formulas 1 and 2), which together form a lithofacies-well coupling shale TOC and porosity logging interpretation model.

On this basis, the point-by-point calculation results of the TOC and porosity values of each single well are corrected and completed based on the identification of 9 types of 3D shale lithofacies, as well as the TOC and porosity value statistics of each type of shale lithofacies in a shale gas field in western of China, according to the results of single-well lithofacies analysis, to finally obtain point-by-point interpretation results of the TOC and porosity values of each single well in a research zone, as shown in
[0087] S2: establishing a 3D seismic in-situ interpretation model of generating and reserving parameters of shale based on well-seismic coupling; completing 3D seismic body attribute extraction by using modeling software; preliminarily screening seismic body attribute types that can be used to express the TOC content and porosity of a shale formation according to an original geological meaning of seismic body attributes, judging the independence of the screened seismic body attributes by using a R-type factor analysis method, and eliminating the seismic body attributes with high correlation to obtain preferred seismic body attributes that express the TOC content and porosity of the shale formation; and establishing a 3D in-situ interpretation model of generating and reserving parameters of shale by using well-seismic coupling and by adopting a single-attribute linear regression method, a multi-attribute nested combination analysis method and a self-feedback neural network method respectively.
[0088] The single-attribute linear regression method is the simplest method to establish a coupling relationship between the logging interpretation of TOC content & porosity and seismic body attributes. Assuming a linear correlation therebetween, a correlation coefficient is used to determine the strength of the correlation, and data is tested for significance. The mathematical principle of this method is:
P(x,y,z)=aA.sub.n(x,y,z)+b (1)
[0089] in which: P represents logging interpretation TOC content or porosity, which is a function of coordinates x, y, z; An represents an n.sup.th seismic attribute; and a, b represent related parameters.
[0090] The multi-attribute nested combination analysis method is to combine attributes with high linear regression correlation, and take one extracted attribute as input to obtain a functional relationship between these attribute combinations and the TOC content and porosity to be explained. When combining, it is necessary to consider the geological meaning and change trend of seismic attributes, and avoid attribute combinations with large differences in geological meaning or change trends. The mathematical principle of this method is:
P(x,y,z)=F[A.sub.n(x,y,z)] (2)
[0091] in which: F represents a functional relationship; An represents an n.sup.th seismic attribute; and P represents logging interpretation TOC content or porosity, which is a function of coordinates x, y, z.
[0092] The multi-attribute self-feedback neural network method realizes the nonlinear coupling between the logging interpretation of TOC content and porosity and seismic body attributes by using a three-layer network structure of an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer, so that the logging interpretation information of TOC content or porosity is used to convert the 3D seismic attributes into the TOC content or porosity through a self-feedback neural network. During the operation of the multi-attribute self-feedback neural network method, if an input mode P is added to the input layer, and it is supposed that a sum of the inputs of a j.sup.th unit of a k.sup.th layer is, an output is, a combined weight from an i.sup.th neuron in a (k−1).sup.th layer to a j.sup.th neuron in the k.sup.th layer is, and an input and output relationship function of each neuron is f, a relationship between respective variables is:
V.sub.i.sup.k=ƒ(u.sub.j.sup.k) (3)
u.sub.j.sup.k=ΣW.sub.ij.sup.k-1V.sub.i.sup.k-1 (4)
[0093] This algorithm learning process is composed of forward and backward propagation processes. During the forward propagation, an input model is processed layer by layer from the input layer through the hidden layer, and then passed to the output layer. The state of each layer of neurons only affects the state of the next layer of neurons. If a desired result is not obtained in the output layer, the forward propagation will turn to back propagation and returns from the output layer such that an error signal returns along ab original connecting path, and the error signal is minimized by modifying the weight of each neuron.

[0096] The results of the TOC content and porosity interpretation model of the shale gas field in western of China, which is established based on the well-seismic coupling multi-attribute nested combination analysis method, are as follows: the correlations of combined seismic body attributes Ampl+CosPhase+D2, BW+DomFreq, DomFreq+Freq and the logging TOC content are significantly improved compared to the original single attributes, but are still not as good as the single attributes RelAclmp and RmsAmpl (see
[0097] The results of a TOC content and porosity interpretation model of the shale gas field in western of China, which is established based on the well-seismic coupling multi-attribute self-feedback neural network method, are as follows: the fitting of the TOC content by the self-feedback neural network method reaches a very high extent; as can be seen from
[0098] It can thus be seen that as far as the shale gas field in western of China is concerned, the TOC content and porosity predicted by the multi-attribute self-feedback neural network method achieve satisfactory results;
[0099] The shale layer actually exists in the underground geological body. Therefore, how to use artificially established 3D meshes to accurately reproduce spatial in-situ positions of top and bottom surfaces of the layer group of the shale formation and interfaces of the small layers in the layer group through lithofacies-well-seismic coupling is a key to determine whether the shale layer model can accurately characterize lithofacies mechanical parameters and the heterogeneity of the in-situ stress field at an in-situ position of an underground reservoir in a 3D space.

[0102] (a) A lithofacies-electric lithofacies of vertical well coupling layering mode and an electric lithofacies characteristic response mode (collectively referred to as a lithofacies-electrical facies coupling in-situ layering model) for top and bottom surfaces of a layer group and interfaces of respective small layers in the layer group are established based on characteristics of vertical well lithofacies under exploration evaluation, and characteristics of a lithology indicator curve, a porosity indicator curve, or an oil-gas-containing indicator curve, to form an in-situ spatial framework of the top and bottom surfaces of the layer group and interfaces of the small layers in the layer group at the location of a drilling well point.
[0103] A Lithofacies-electric facies coupling laying mode for top and bottom surfaces of a main shale gas-producing layer and interfaces of subordinate small layers 1 to 4 in the Wufeng-Longmaxi group in a certain area in western of China is established by using lithofacies characteristics, and characteristics of a lithology indicator curve (GR), a porosity indicator curve (AC, DEN, CNL), and an oil-gas-containing indicator curve (RT, RXO) extracted from core data of a vertical well under exploration evaluation in a target area. A characteristic response pattern (Table 7) of electrical facies in respective small layers of the main shale gas-producing layer of Wufeng-Longmaxi grouoop in a certain area in western of China is obtained by statistics by using characteristics of a lithology indicator curve (GR), a porosity indicator curve (AC, DEN, CNL), and an oil-gas-containing indicator curve (RT, RXO) of respective small layers in the target area. The standards of in-situ identification and comparison of interfaces between subordinate small layers 1 to 4 of the shale gas main-producing layer of Wufeng-Longmaxi group in a certain area in western of China are formed by using the lithofacies-electric facies coupling in-situ layering mode composed these two patterns.

[0104] (b) In-situ depth information of the top and bottom surfaces of the layer group identified by the vertical well under exploration evaluation is projected onto a seismic-time profile by using by a time-depth conversion relationship established by a synthetic recording method, to form a well-seismic coupling relationship of top and bottom interfaces of a main oil-producing layer group of the shale formation. Tracking and time data extraction of the top and bottom interfaces of a main oil-producing layer of the shale formation are completed on a seismic section based on this coupling relationship. The time data of the top and bottom interfaces of the layer group is converted into depth data by using the established time-depth conversion relationship, and a structural distribution model of the top and bottom surfaces of the layer group is established under the condition of ensuring that a residual at the vertical well under exploration evaluation is zero by means of a multiple mesh approximation algorithm and by using the depth data as a main input, and elevation data of the vertical well under exploration evaluation as a hard constraint condition, to form a spatial in-situ framework of the layer group of the shale formation.

[0106] S4: forming a spatial distribution trend framework of small layers of the shale formation by using 3D visualization comparison of the vertical well.

[0110] S5: establishing an in-situ 3D mesh model of small layers of the shale formation by using 3D visualization comparison of the horizontal well.
[0111] A relationship between the horizontal well trajectory and the top and bottom interfaces of a target small layer is determined by using the previously established lithofacies-electrical facies coupling in-situ layering mode of the interfaces of small layers in the layer group and using 3D visualization comparison of the horizontal well. The target small layer along the horizontal well trajectory and the top and bottom interface positions of each small layer adjacent to the target small layer are quantitatively described. Position elevations are extracted to form elevation data of the top and bottom surfaces of the small layers of the horizontal well, and the elevation data is merged with the elevation data of the top and bottom surfaces of the small layer at the vertical well position into a new data set. Meanwhile, a new structural distribution model of the top and bottom surfaces of the small layers based on vertical well+horizontal well is established by using the previously established structural distribution model of the top and bottom surfaces of the small layers as a trend constraint, to finally form an in-situ 3D mesh model of the small layers of shale.
[0112] By using a horizontal well 3D visualization small-layer comparison technology involved in “Structural Modeling Method Based on Horizontal Well 3D Visualization Stratigraphic Correlation”, the relationship between the horizontal well trajectory and the top and bottom interfaces of the target small layer 2 can be determined by using the established lithofacies-electrical facies coupling in-situ stratification model of the interfaces of the respective small groups in the layer group. Elevation data of the upper and lower interfaces of a horizontal section translayer point is extracted. Meanwhile, top and bottom interface lines of the target small layer along the horizontal well trajectory are drawn on a vertical section by using the previously established lithofacies-electrical facies coupling in-situ layering mode of the interfaces of the respective small layers in the layer group, and the target small layer along the horizontal well trajectory and the top and bottom interface positions of each adjacent layer adjacent to respective small layers are quantitatively described. Finally, the elevation data of top and bottom interface lines of the target small layer, elevation data of the upper and lower interfaces of the horizontal section translayer point, and the elevation data of the top and bottom surfaces of the small layers at the vertical well position are combined to form a new elevation data set for the respective small layers.

[0115] Through the above steps, the target small layer along the horizontal well trajectory and the top and bottom interface positions of the adjacent small layers are quantitatively described. Finally, elevation data of top and bottom interface lines of the target small layer, elevation data of the upper and lower interfaces of the horizontal section translayer point, and the elevation data of the top and bottom surfaces of the small layer at the vertical well position are combined to form a new elevation data set for the respective subordinate small layers of the main shale gas-producing layer in the Wufeng-Longmaxi group in a certain area of western in China.
