The application of forward modeling in volcanic reservoir
As a new field of oil and gas exploration and development,volcanic reservoir has been widely concerned by scholars at home and abroad.The lithology and facies of volcanic rocks are complex and vary greatly in transverse direction.Numerical simulation of seismic wave field can provide effective guidance for seismic data collection,processing and inter-pretation.Based on a wide range of literatures,this paper reviews the current situation of forward modeling of volcanic rocks,including the establishment of geological models and the selection of numerical simulation methods.It is concluded that there is no universal law for forward modeling of volcanic reservoirs at home and abroad.The geological modeling tech-nology of volcanic rocks has not made effective progress,so it is more valuable and signifi-cant to establish geological models of volcanic facies and volcanic mechanism for wave field simulation.The seismic wave field information can be improved by taking into account the source function and boundary conditions in numerical simulation.
