Abstract
Rock physics model (RPM) in recent time-lapse seismic survey has been widely used. RPM can be called optimal seismic attribute analysis method about the change in fluid saturation and movement. The most representative Gassmann’s equation among RPMs is commonly used until now. It is method for calculating the bulk modulus of the fluid saturated porous media and has the physically clear and simple advantage. Also, It can easily understood change in elastic wave velocity by dealing with a change in bulk modulus. In this paper, we introduce induction process of the Gassmann’s equation and the features as well as the method of calculating the basic parameters that make up the Gassmann’s equation. Further, this paper show the flow chart of construction method about actual RPM construction example and change in the elastic wave velocity as well as change in the elastic modulus in accordance with CO2 saturation changes during CO2 geological storage.
최근 시간-경과 탄성파 탐사자료 해석에 많이 적용되고 있는 암석 물리 모델(rock physics model; RPM)은 저류층 내 유체 포화도의 변화와 더불어 유체 이동이 탄성파 속성에 미치는 변화에 관한 최적의 분석 방법이라고 할 수 있다. 암석 물리 모델 중 가장 대표적인 Gassmann 방정식은 현재까지도 가장 널리 이용되고 있는 모델로써 탄성파 속도를 구성하는 매개변수인 유체 포화 다공질 매질의 부피 탄성률을 계산하는 방법이며, 물리적 의미가 간단 명료하다는 장점이 있다. 또한, 유체 치환 시 유체의 부피 탄성률이 가장 많이 변한다는 전제조건 하에 부피 탄성률의 변화를 다룸으로써 탄성파 속도의 변화를 손쉽고 파악할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 Gassmann 방정식의 유도 과정 및 Gassmann 방정식을 구성하는 기초 매개변수의 계산법과 특징들을 소개한다. 이와 더불어Gassmann 방정식에 기초한 암석 물리 모델 구성법에 대한 모델 구성 흐름도와 실제 RPM 구성 예시를 들고 CO2 지중 저장 시 CO2 포화도 변화에 따른 탄성 계수의 변화와 탄성파 속도의 변화 양상을 보여주고자 한다.
