The “pseudomorphs” or “traps” in seismic data often cause incorrect results in geological interpretation and reservoir prediction of sand-shale interbedded layers.By analyzing and summarizing the previous research achievements,a single sand body wedge model was constructed; then,synthetic seismogram was obtained by convolution forward modeling method and its basic seismic attributes were extracted.Moreover,the attributes were classified by their calculation theories and the effect of different extraction time-windows on seismic attributes analysis has been discussed.Eight representative attributes slightly impacted by the extraction time-windows were selected.Then,two typical sand-shale interbedded layers models were built,and analyzed the variation characteristics of the selected attributes.The variation rule of the selected attributes via the thickness of sand,shale and accumulated interbedded layers was summarized,and provide some theoretical basis for seismic attributes optimized in reservoir prediction of thin sand-shale interbedded layers.
