Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of borehole microseismic signal processing, and more specifically, to a hybrid localization method, apparatus, electronic device, and medium for borehole microseismic events. Background Technology
[0002] Downhole microseismic monitoring is one of the methods of microseismic observation. Its characteristic is that downhole three-component geophones receive the full wavefield signal of microseismic events. Compared to surface microseismic monitoring, downhole data has a higher signal-to-noise ratio and a richer variety of microseismic events and types. However, due to the limited number of downhole microseismic geophones (generally 12–32 magnitude three-component geophones), the monitoring range is relatively small. Furthermore, there are certain requirements for the selection of monitoring and observation wells. For example, internationally, the optimal radial distance from the fracturing section of the monitoring well to the geophone in the observation well is 200–800 meters, but the actual distance is often much larger. These factors typically lead to instability and low accuracy in microseismic location.
[0003] Furthermore, the accuracy of microseismic event location is also related to the location method. The main microseismic location methods in wells include: First, forward modeling based on P-wave and S-wave event travel times, with representative algorithms such as network search, simulated annealing, and Geiger's method. The advantage is ease of implementation, but the disadvantage is the difficulty in accurately picking up the P-wave and S-wave travel times of microseismic events, affecting the location results. Second, wave equation convolution, with representative algorithms such as interferometry, reverse time migration, and passive source imaging. The advantage is that it does not require picking up the first arrival of events, but the disadvantage is high requirements for data signal-to-noise ratio, velocity model, and a large number of detectors, resulting in high computational costs. Third, the difference between anisotropic and isotropic travel time calculations. In anisotropic media, isotropic travel time calculations result in larger errors, leading to correspondingly larger location errors.
[0004] In recent years, with the continuous increase in global energy demand and the advancement of exploration technology, oil and gas resource exploration and development have continued to deepen. Fracturing, as the most effective production enhancement measure for such reservoirs, has also received increasing attention both domestically and internationally. In-well microseismic monitoring is often a single-well monitoring method, and due to the limited number of geophones, the positioning angle is small, leading to unstable in-well microseismic positioning results.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a hybrid method, device, electronic equipment, and medium for locating microseismic events in wells.

[0071] Construct the P-wave time difference exponential equation, the S-wave time difference exponential equation, and the PS-wave time difference exponential equation respectively;
[0072] Calculate the P-wave travel time location results, S-wave travel time location results, and PS-wave time difference location results for microseismic events, respectively.
[0073] Based on the time difference positioning results of P-wave, S-wave, and PS-wave, the final spatial positioning results of the microseismic event were determined.
[0074] In one example, the P-wave time difference exponential equation is:
[0075]
[0076] Where ΔTp is the travel time difference of the P-wave.
[0077] In one example, the S-wave time difference exponential equation is:

[0079] Where ΔTs is the travel time difference of the S-wave.
[0080] In one example, the PS wave time difference exponential equation is:
[0081]
[0082] Where ΔTps is the travel time difference of the PS wave.
[0083] In one example, using the grid search method, when the P-wave time difference exponential equation is minimized, the corresponding grid point is the P-wave travel time positioning result;
[0084] When the S-wave time difference exponential equation is minimized, the corresponding grid point is the S-wave travel time positioning result;
[0085] When the PS wave time difference exponential equation is minimized, the corresponding grid point is the PS wave travel time positioning result.
[0086] In one example, a spatial triangle is established based on the time difference positioning results of P-wave, S-wave, and PS-wave, and the orthocenter position of the spatial triangle is calculated, which is the final spatial positioning result of the microseismic event.
[0087] In one example, the orthocenter of the spatial triangle is calculated using formula (4):
[0088]
[0089] Among them, (x P ,y P (x) represents the P-wave time difference localization result. S ,y S (x) represents the S-wave time difference positioning result.

P0i S-wave travel time T S0i Combined with the actual P-wave travel time T Pi S-wave travel time T Si Calculate the travel time difference of P-wave, S-wave and PS-wave, and substitute it into the corresponding positioning index equation.
[0107] The third step is to calculate and compare the exponential equation f(e) for all grid points. ΔTp ), and the exponential equation f(e ΔTp The grid point corresponding to the minimum value is denoted as (x). P ,y P This is the P-wave travel time location result. Using the same operation, the exponential equation f(e) can be searched for. ΔTs The grid point corresponding to the minimum value is the S-wave travel time localization result (x). S ,y S ), and can also search for the exponential equation f(e ΔTps The grid point corresponding to the minimum value is the PS wave time difference localization result (x).PS ,y PS ).
[0108] Finally, based on the calculated three location results of the microseismic events (x P ,y P ), (x S ,y S ), (x PS ,y PS Construct a triangle. Using the property that the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1, establish the orthocenter (x0). * ,y * The system of equations, namely formula (4), yields the final microseismic event location result (x). * ,y * This enables the final positioning process.
