Abstract: A great breakthrough was made in the field of Permian volcanic rock exploration in Jingyan Area, southwest Sichuan Basin, but there are various volcanic rock types, obvious differences in seismic reflection characteristics, little coring data, thin reservoirs and unclear distribution patterns; therefore, it is important to further identify the distribution of volcanic facies and high-quality reservoirs in Jingyan Area for volcanic oil and gas exploration in the area. A forward model of volcanic reservoir was established based on the real drilling data to simulate the factors affecting the variation of seismic reflection characteristics of volcanic rock, and an identification model was established for volcanic rock facies and reservoirs. On the basis of the analysis on single well cycle, lithology, lithofacies and seismic waveforms, the types and distribution of volcanic facies were determined by seismic facies, stratigraphic thickness, coherence cube, three-dimensional visualization and other methods. After fine calibration of volcanic reservoirs, the distribution of upper and lower volcanic reservoirs was determined by wave impedance, neural network inversion and other method. Finally, the areas developed with high-quality reservoirs were delineated in combination with the favorable lithofacies, reservoir thickness, fault, and fracture distribution of volcanic rocks. The study results show that there are three types of lithofacies developed in Jingyan Area, namely, eruptive facies, volcanic channel facies and overflow facies. The distribution of volcanic rocks is relatively stable, and two reservoirs are developed in this area. The development of reservoir under the eruptive facies has an obvious effect on the seismic reflection at volcanic rock bottom. As predicted by various methods, the high-quality reservoirs of volcanic rocks are mainly distributed in the west and southwest of the work area, and the superimposed area of basement rift and fractures is the next target of favorable area exploration. There is much guiding significance of the study results for the exploration of volcanic oil and gas in Jinyan Area.
