Abstract
The multi-component seismic exploration technique has drawn great attention in the petroleum industry because it enlarges the S-wave information, reduces the ambiguity in reservoir prediction, and improves the prediction and identification possibility of reservoir fluids. To push forward the application and development of the technique, the 2D and 3D multi-component technical tests have been carried out since 2002 in the Sulige Gasfield, Ordos Basin; the Guang'an Gasfield, Sichuan Basin; the Xushen Gasfield, Songliao Basin; and the Sanhu area, Basin, Qaidam Basin. The imaging of the converted wave is better than that of the P-wave for the gas-bearing structures in the deep igneous body of the Songliao Basin and the Sanhu area, and can define the reservoir boundaries more accurately. In the description of the tight sand gas reservoirs of the Sulige and Guang'an Gasfields, the converted wave imaging improves the accuracy of reservoir prediction and fluid identification, paving the way for the arrangement of wells.
