Many karst fracture-vug reservoirs have been found in the Ordovician carbonate paleo-buried hills in the Lungu area,Tarim Basin.Hydrocarbons are mainly enriched in these fracture-vug reservoirs,which are mainly related to the paleo-underground river system in carbonate paleo-buried hills.The paleo-underground river system is well developed,especially in the western Lungu area.The fracture-vug reservoirs related to the paleo-underground river system have strong longitudinal and lateral heterogeneity,and ascertaining the seismic and geological characteristics of the paleo-underground river system in this area is the key to the efficient development of fracture-vug reservoirs in this area.Based on the characteristics of modern karst underground rivers and the log and drilling data of this area,this study established a geological model of underground rivers for forward modeling.The study results are as follows.The underground river system developing under the tight limestone setting showed continuously linear strong reflections on the seismic profile.The seismic amplitude decreased as the height and width of underground rivers decreased,and higher seismic amplitude corresponded to larger underground river caves and lower filling velocity.The amplitude can accurately characterize the horizontal range of the underground river on the seismic profile.Meanwhile,the frequency and phase can describe the outline of the underground river on the seismic profile,but the outline described was larger than that of the real underground river.The main channels of the underground river system were prone to be filled with mud.By contrast,the branch channels had a low filling probability and thus serve as the main areas for both the occurrence of underground river reservoirs and the hydrocarbon accumulation.
