  • Patent number: 10983232
    Abstract: A seismic rock physics inversion method based on a large area tight reservoir includes steps: building a multi-scale rock physics model; analyzing fluid sensitivities of rock physics parameters in two scales of acoustic logging and ultrasonic wave, and sifting the rock physics parameters that are most sensitive to a porosity and a gas saturation in a plurality of observation scales; building a single-well rock physics template, preferably a standard template; considering lateral variations and heterogeneity of reservoir geological features, fine-tuning input parameters of the rock physics template according to gas testing situations of all wells in a large work area, optimizing the whole work area and building a three-dimensional work area rock physics template data volume, and combining the data volume with pre-stack seismic inversion to calculate a porosity and a saturation of a target layer; and smoothing a result and finally outputting a reservoir parameter inversion data volume.
