Abstract: To solve the problem of low resolution of seismic data from granite weathering crust and difficulty in predicting effective reservoir distribution. Based on the research idea of combining geology and seismology, seismic facies characteristics and effective reservoir distribution of granite weathering crust are studied by means of frequency division reconstruction processing, seismic facies analysis and sensitive attributes interpretation. This method consists of the following four main processes: (1) Using improved Morlet wavelet function for frequency division and reconstruction processing of seismic data; (2) From the perspective of geological evolution, analyzing the geological origin of seismic facies; (3) Based on the results of well- seismic combination, clarifying the types of effective reservoirs and predicting their distribution; (4) Comprehensive research indicating favorable reservoirs distribution. The results indicate that (1) a considerably improved resolution of seismic data processed by frequency division reconstruction is obtained based on the improved Morlet wavelet function. Thus, granite reservoirs then have clearer internal reflection characteristics. (2) Affected by differences in weathering, the seismic facies in granite weathering crusts can be classified as follows: Strong-amplitude facies with amplitudes of 23,700 − 32,800, corresponding to eluvium, represents the late stage of weathering crust evolution with high-intensity weathering. Medium-amplitude facies with amplitudes of 5,250 − 24,000, corresponding to dissolution layer, represents a middle stage of weathering crust evolution with moderate weathering. And weak-amplitude-blank facies with amplitudes of 0–5,330, corresponding to disintegration layer, represents an early stage of weathering crust evolution with weak weathering. (3) Effective reservoirs can be classified according to well-seismic calibrations and combined with reservoir spaces, porosities and permeabilities, and the logging and oil-bearing characteristics of the reservoirs. Type I effective reservoir comprises medium-amplitude facies, with favorable reservoir conditions and high-yield oil-bearing properties; this type is distributed in the western slopes, with an elevation of 1,300-2,500 m. Type II effective reservoir comprises strong-amplitude facies, with poor oil-bearing properties; this type is mainly distributed in the southeast and north slopes of the study area, with a relatively limited range, and the elevation is mostly below 1,500 m. Type III effective reservoir comprises weak-amplitude-blank facies, with poor reservoir conditions and poor oil-bearing properties; this type is widely distributed at various elevations. (4) The areas where medium-amplitude facies have developed are the most favorable reservoir exploration zones for granite in Dongying Sag, Bohai Bay Basin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
