Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of petroleum geophysical exploration, and particularly relates to an event identification technology based on a three-dimensional P-S wave joint ground shallow well microseismic monitoring observation mode. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, microseismic monitoring has gradually become a crucial part of shale gas development, and also plays an increasingly important role in active fault research. Microseismic monitoring technology is an important means for evaluating the effect of fracturing of unconventional oil and gas wells such as shale gas. With large-scale development of unconventional resources such as shale gas, the demand for hydraulic fracturing microseismic monitoring technology and production dynamic monitoring will increase. Microseismic monitoring in shale gas development is generally divided into ground monitoring and well monitoring technology. Well monitoring technology has been relatively mature, but the number of monitoring wells, spatial distribution and the number of geophones are very limited, so its lateral resolution is low, and the monitoring cost is also high. Therefore, the current developed ground monitoring and well monitoring mode microseismic monitoring technology has problems such as high construction cost and many limited conditions for observation wells. In order to meet the needs of large-scale development of unconventional oil and gas resources such as shale gas, it is necessary to carry out research on low-cost ground shallow well microseismic monitoring technology and application.

[0003] The ground shallow well microseismic monitoring technology uses sparse layout of acquisition stations and shallow well buried geophones for monitoring. Compared with the ground line microseismic method, the signal attenuation is reduced, the environmental noise is small, and the cost is low; compared with the well microseismic monitoring method, the restriction condition is less, and the observation range is wide.

[0004] From the data structure, the ground shallow well microseismic monitoring method is a combination of ground microseismic monitoring and well microseismic monitoring. It uses a three-component geophone mode in the well, a multi-well mode on the ground, and is a full wave field recording in a three-dimensional observation system. Therefore, the format of the ground shallow well microseismic monitoring data is different from the previous two microseismic monitoring methods, and the existing microseismic monitoring signal identification method cannot meet the needs of the ground shallow well microseismic monitoring method.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a ground shallow well microseismic monitoring event identification technology. SUMMARY

[0016] For the spatial point of the possible source, the times of the P-wave and S-wave from the spatial point to each shallow well geophone are calculated.

[0017] Further, the recognition method further includes determining whether the detected event is a valid event.

[0018] Further, the position of the detected event is corrected for each monitoring channel, the corrected each monitoring channel and the adjacent channel are subjected to coherent superposition to obtain A(t), and the coherent analysis is performed on the value of M(t); the coherence coefficient is obtained

[0020] In the formula, denotes the coherence coefficient of A(t) and M(t) at frequency f, and denote the power spectral density of A(t) and M(t), respectively, denotes the cross-spectral density of A(t) and M(t);

[0021] If signal =1, and M(t) is completely coherent, reflecting the similarity between signals, then it is an effective event; signal =0, and M(t) is not coherent, and is judged as an invalid event.

[0022] Further, the fixed time window is greater than the maximum time difference of S wave and P wave.

[0023] Further, the corresponding time at which the value of M(t) is greater than the maximum value of B(t) is the occurrence time of the event.

[0041] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0042] The present application establishes the microseismic judgment criterion of three-dimensional space longitudinal and transverse wave multi-channel superposition according to the ground shallow well microseismic monitoring mode and the characteristics of three-component record, realizes the automatic detection of microseismic events based on the event similarity method, and has fast operation speed and high efficiency, which can quickly and automatically detect microseismic events.

[0043] The present disclosure proposes a three-dimensional longitudinal and transverse wave joint ground shallow well microseismic monitoring event recognition method, which comprises:

[0044] Based on the three-dimensional spatial scanning of S-wave in the horizontal and depth directions, the event energy superposition value at each point and time is obtained, and the multichannel superposition value S(t) is calculated.

[0045] Find the maximum value of the event energy superposition value at each point and time, and update the maximum value of the multi-channel superposition value S(t) at each time to M(t);

[0046] Perform a Hilbert transform on M(t) and calculate the envelope of M(t) as B(t). The maximum value of M(t) that is greater than B(t) within a fixed time window is taken as the event within the time window.

[0047] For surface shallow well microseismic monitoring, the number of shallow wells distributed in a plane is relatively small, each well records three components, resulting in a limited total number of channels monitored; the microseismic signals are weak, with weak P-wave energy and strong S-wave energy, making it difficult to pick up the first arrival wave. This paper adopts an energy-based approach to highlight the identifiability of the timing signals of microseismic events. Automatic event detection is performed on synthesized stacked channels, resulting in a relatively high signal-to-noise ratio.

[0048] Specifically, taking advantage of the characteristics of multi-component three-dimensional spatial records from shallow surface wells, a multi-channel superimposed envelope characteristic function is used as the judgment criterion:

[0049]

[0050] It is the Tao, For the first One detector; No. The time shift of a detector. Given a known seismic source, the time shift can be calculated.

[0051] Specifically, based on the characteristics of P / S waves received by a three-component detector string: the S-wave polarization direction is perpendicular to the propagation direction, while the P-wave polarization direction is consistent with the propagation direction; the S-wave is mainly polarized in a near-horizontal direction, while the P-wave is polarized in a near-vertical direction; the energy of the S-wave dominates in local recordings; the polarization directions of the P-wave and S-wave are orthogonal; the travel time of the same P / S wave arriving at the detector string is consistent; and the time difference between P / S waves from the same source is finite. A criterion based on joint S&P detection is established.

[0052] Next, the X and Y components are separated into P-wave and S-wave waves through polarization analysis; for a given spatial point of possible seismic source, the time of P and S waves to each shallow well detector is calculated.

[0053] Specifically, the event energy stack value of each point at each time is calculated based on the three-dimensional space scanning horizontal direction and depth direction of S wave by using the way of seismic source scanning energy stack. The maximum value of the event energy stack value of each point at each time is calculated by scanning one seismic source value, calculating the multi-channel stack value S(t), and updating the maximum value of S(t) at each time as M(t) to form a multi-channel stack monitoring channel and record the initial position of the maximum energy value at each time. M(t) stores the maximum value of the energy scanning stack in the three-dimensional space at each time.

[0054] Next, the Hilbert transform of M(t) is performed to calculate the envelope B(t) of M(t). The convolution of the function M(t) and is calculated by the formula:

[0055] .

[0056] In a fixed time window (greater than the maximum time difference of S wave and P wave), the value of M(t) greater than the maximum value of B(t) is regarded as an event in the detection window, and the corresponding time is the earthquake time of the event.

[0057] Preferably, the position of the detected event is corrected in each monitoring channel, the corrected each monitoring channel is coherently stacked with the adjacent to form A(t), and the coherence coefficient :

[0058]

[0059] In the formula, represents the coherence coefficient of A(t) and M(t) at frequency f, and respectively represent the power spectral density of A(t) and M(t), represents the cross-spectral density of A(t) and M(t);

[0060] If the signal =1, and M(t) are completely coherent, which reflects the similarity between signals, and it is an effective event; if the signal =0, and M(t) are incoherent, which is judged as an invalid event.

[0061] In order to understand the scheme and effect of the embodiments of the present application, a specific application example is given below. Those skilled in the art should understand that the example is only for the purpose of understanding the present application, and any specific details are not intended to limit the present application in any way.
