This study aims to determine the development of dissolution pores and fractures in the target bedrock reservoir space in the Kun 2 block in the Kunteyi gas field within the Qaidam Basin. The seismic data were classified into 12 attributes in five major categories for fracture prediction and comparative analysis of bedrock reservoirs. The results show that the maximum likelihood attribute aligned highly with the well data, with high vertical and horizontal resolution, superior to curvature, coherence, discontinuity, and similarity attributes. Moreover, the favorable areas for the distribution of bedrock reservoirs were effectively predicted using the dissolution pore-fracture overlay analysis method, providing a basis for subsequent exploitation well deployment.
