Abstract

The invention provides a method for detecting the directions and the azimuth angles of formation fractures. The method is that a phenomenon of shear-wave splitting occurs when shear waves spread in fracture development formation, the shear-wave splitting phenomenon results in that shear-wave preliminary wave energy received by a three-component geophone changes according to the observation azimuth angles, and the directions and the azimuth angles of the formation fractures can be quantitatively detected through analyzing how the shear-wave preliminary wave energy changes according to the observation azimuth angles on the horizontal component, thereby providing reference data for reducing risks in exploration and development and improving the extraction efficiency of oil and gas reservoir.

Description

A kind of method that detects formation fracture angle of strike degree
Technical field
The present invention relates to seismic exploration technique field, a kind of by the energy variation rule of the seismic wave field of two horizontal component records of down-hole three-component seismometer in three-dimensional three-component VSP is analyzed, thus analytical approach and the flow process of the orientation angles of fracture strike in stratum being carried out to quantitatively detection.The present invention is mainly used in field of seismic exploration, is the orientation angles information that slit formation reservoir exploration and exploitation provide formation fracture to move towards, and is the risk that reduces exploratory development, and improving hydrocarbon-bearing pool production efficiency provides reference data.
Background technology
In three-dimensional three-component VSP seismic exploration data, when shear wave vibrator excites on well side, the shear wave that focus produces is propagated in stratum, earth penetrating arrives the three-component seismometer position in well, and causing particle vibration at this point, the three-component seismometer that the vibration of this point is placed in well is recorded.If fracture development in stratum, can there is shear wave splitting phenomenon in the shear wave that vibroseis excites when earth penetrating is propagated, and shear wave can be split into the slow shear wave that moves towards polarization along fast transverse wave and the vertically oriented fracture of fracture strike polarization.The shear wave primary wave energy variation rule of the horizontal component of down-hole three-component seismometer in the three-dimensional three-component VSP geological data excite by analyzing vibroseis, three-component seismometer receiving in well, can quantitatively detect the orientation angles of fracture strike in stratum.
Prior art means are to be appeared and observed or the rock core sample extracting in drilling well is observed or well-log information analysis is obtained the relevant information of Reservoir Fracture in laboratory by the geology on stratum.Due to the limitation of said method data collection, be merely able to obtain the local message of formation fracture.
The azimuthal anisotropy attribute that prior art means also can be propagated by wide-azimuth longitudinal wave earthquake exploration acquisition longitudinal wave earthquake detects the angle of strike degree information of formation fracture, but because primary seismic wave is responsive not to the developmental state of formation fracture, the sxemiquantitative that therefore by longitudinal wave earthquake azimuthal anisotropy attributive analysis, the development characteristics of Reservoir Fracture is merely able to accomplish qualitatively or error is larger is described.
In a word, existing technological means, owing to being subject to the restriction of technical method itself, can not meet the need of production in oil field to the detectability of the orientation angles of formation fracture trend.
