Identifying a low permeable conglomerate diagenetic trap can be implemented according to a method that comprises: determining a first relation curve between a depth and a critical physical property of a known diagenetic trap in a target work area, and a second relation curve between a reservoir physical property of the known diagenetic trap and a designated seismic attribute; determining a third relation curve between the depth and the critical physical property in the target work area and the designated seismic attribute according to the first relation curve and the second relation curve; and performing a diagenetic trap identification of the target work area according to the third relation curve. Identification accuracy of a low permeable conglomerate diagenetic trap can thereby be improved.
