Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of geological exploration and development evaluation of oil and gas resources, and in particular relates to a comprehensive identification method of a polygonal fault system. Background technique
[0002] A polygonal fault system refers to a small-scale extensional fault system developed in fine-grained sediments. A large number of small faults interweave each other on the plane to form a polygonal shape, and are confined to specific strata vertically, generally of non-structural origin. At present, polygonal fault systems have been discovered in many regions abroad, such as the New Jersey Basin, the Shetland Islands, the North Sea Basin, the Côte d’Ivoire Basin, and the Viking Basin. A polygonal fault system has been discovered in the basin, and it is controversial.
[0003] At present, the identification methods of polygonal fault systems mainly focus on the qualitative description stage. It is generally believed t...
