Abstract
It is of great significance to quickly obtain the sedimentary characteristics of sandstone type uranium reservoir for guiding prospecting sandstone type uranium deposits. In order to solve this problem, a method based on the extraction and optimization of 3D seismic attributes is proposed. The target stratum of the uranium reservoir is accurately located by using the gamma and acoustic logging data together. The well seismic calibration for the uranium reservoir is carried out by making full use of the logging and seismic data. The high-density fine horizon tracking is implemented for the top, bottom, and obvious adjacent interfaces of the target stratum. Various seismic attributes along the target interface are extracted using stratigraphic slices. Analyzing the consistency between the results obtained by various seismic attributes and drilling data, the one that can best characterize the sedimentary characteristics of the target uranium reservoir is selected as the optimal seismic attribute. The sedimentary and its evolutionary characteristics of the target uranium reservoir are obtained by extracting the above optimal seismic attribute. A case study shows that we can obtain the 3D sedimentary characteristics of the target uranium reservoir fast and efficiently using the method based on the 3D seismic attribute. They can be used for providing important reference information for the exploration of sandstone type uranium deposits.
