油藏地球物理技术的发展历程与现状——《The Leading Edge》D＆P专栏回顾

油藏地球物理技术是地球物理在油气开发与生产中的应用技术。以《The Leading Edge》的“开发与生产地球物理”专栏为窗口,系统回顾了油藏地球物理技术的发展历程,分析了该技术的特点与现状,并对其中的井间地震与时延地震两项特色技术的发展趋势进行了评估。与勘探地球物理相比,多学科综合研究是油藏地球物理技术的主要特征之一,而高精度三维地震则是多学科综合的核心技术。此外,油藏地球物理研究的精细程度也要比勘探地球物理高很多。在技术方面,除了高精度三维地震外,时延(四维)地震、井中地震、多波地震、随钻测量及微地震等,也是油藏地球物理的重要技术组成部分。目前,油气地球物理探测技术正处在由勘探阶段向开发与生产阶段跨越的时代,油藏地球物理的出现赋予了地球物理技术新的生命力,代表了油气地球物理的发展趋势,是未来石油工业界地球物理技术发展的主流。使其在油气开发与生产中发挥应有的作用,是新一代地球物理学家肩负的历史使命。

Reservoir Geophysics: Review of TLE's D&P special sections

Reservoir geophysics is a branch of geophysics dealing with reservoir development and production. The author selected TLE' s " development and production geophysics" special sections as a window to review systematically the development course of reservoir geophysics,and analyze its characteristics and the status quo. Furthermore, the trend of both crosswell and time-lapse seismology is predicted. It is thought that multidisciplinary integration is one of the most important characteristics of reservoir geophysics, and high accuracy 3-D seismic method is the basis of integrated research. Reservoir geophysics consists of many methods and technologies such as high accuracy 3-D seismic, time-lapse (4-D) seismic, borehole seismic, multicomponent seismic, VSP-while-drilling and microseismic methods. Exploration geophysics is stepping into reservoir geophysics. Reservoir geophysics provides geophysical technologies new vitality, it represents the development trend of oil & gas exploration,and will become the mainstream technology in geophysics. It is the historical mission for us to bring reservoir geophysics into full play in oil & gas exploration and development.
