Conventional seismic facies analysis based on seismic sedimentology principle mainly uses seismic slicing technology to extract RMS amplitude attributes along the target layer.When the signal-to-noise ratio of seismic signals is low and the target layer is thin,the accuracy and reliability of seismic facies analysis will be easily affected.In this study,on the basis of the principle of seismic sedimentology,the feature vectors of seismic waveforms were extracted along stratigraphic slices,and then the Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC) method was introduced to classify seismic facies.Waveform AHC is an unsupervised machine learning algorithm.Compared with the traditional method of seismic facies analysis for stratum slices,the method based on waveform clustering considers the amplitude, phase and frequency attributes of seismic signals synthetically through the change of waveform characteristics.It has better anti-noise capability and higher horizontal resolution.The stability and applicability of this method have been proved by physical model data testing and practical data application.It has been proved that this method has a good capability of distinguishing sedimentary facies characteristics,and hence it is a new kind of reservoir facies analysis tool and has a good application prospect.
