Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of petroleum exploration and development, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment and medium for fracture morphology analysis. Background Technology

[0002] The basic principle of microseismic monitoring technology is to detect microseismic events caused by changes in rock internal stress. This involves deploying highly sensitive seismic sensors around the fractured well to continuously record microseismic activity generated during the fracturing process due to changes in the physical properties of the oil and gas reservoir. Current microseismic monitoring technologies can only monitor fractures during fracturing and cannot effectively monitor and identify microseismic events in other geological processes. Furthermore, they can only provide approximate fracture location information and cannot accurately characterize and analyze specific fracture parameters (such as length, width, and direction). Currently, there are two main methods for monitoring and identifying microseismic events: one involves extracting fracture surfaces from microseismic points, primarily through cluster analysis and probability density function estimation. These methods identify sets with similar characteristics based on the spatial distribution characteristics of microseismic point data, thus characterizing the fracture surface. The other method is a random fractal fracture network characterization method, which views the fracture morphology as a self-similar system composed of primary and secondary fractures. Based on the similarity between fracture propagation and plant growth, and utilizing the L-system fractal principle, fractal fracture morphology simulation is conducted according to fractal tree generation rules. Different fracture node coordinates are obtained according to different fracture generation rules, resulting in different fracture morphologies. The corresponding drawbacks are as follows: One method, because it fits a discrete crack network, ignores the differences between large-scale main cracks and small-scale secondary crack networks at the ends; the fitting process requires significant computational resources, resulting in low computational efficiency for large-scale microseismic point data. Another method, the random fractal crack network characterization method, defaults to projecting microseismic points onto a horizontal plane before iterative calculation, interpreting the crack distribution morphology only from a horizontal perspective and ignoring the spatial distribution characteristics of microseismic points: if the crack type is near-horizontal, the interpretation result is reasonable, and the spatial distribution of cracks does not need to be considered; if the crack type is near-vertical, the true crack morphology cannot be obtained from the horizontal projection, and a vertical projection is necessary; if the crack type is between the horizontal and vertical planes, neither horizontal nor vertical projection can obtain the true crack morphology.

[0003] As can be seen from the above, how to accurately determine the type and orientation of cracks, reduce the amount of computation of microseismic point data, improve computational efficiency, and achieve a comprehensive and accurate characterization and analysis of the true morphology of cracks are problems that need to be solved in this field.

[0053] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0054] The basic principle of microseismic monitoring technology is to detect microseismic events caused by changes in rock internal stress. This involves deploying highly sensitive seismic sensors around the fractured well to continuously record microseismic activity generated during the fracturing process due to changes in the physical properties of the oil and gas reservoir. Current microseismic monitoring technologies can only monitor fractures during fracturing and cannot effectively monitor and identify microseismic events in other geological processes. Furthermore, they can only provide approximate fracture location information and cannot accurately characterize and analyze specific fracture parameters (such as length, width, and direction).

Based on the similarity between fracture propagation and plant growth, and utilizing the L-system fractal principle, fractal fracture morphology simulation is conducted according to fractal tree generation rules. Different fracture node coordinates are obtained according to different fracture generation rules, resulting in different fracture morphologies. The corresponding drawbacks are as follows: Firstly, because the fitted crack network is a discrete crack network, it ignores the differences between large-scale main cracks and small-scale secondary crack networks at the ends; the fitting process requires significant computational resources, resulting in low computational efficiency for large-scale microseismic point data. Secondly, the random fractal crack network characterization method defaults to projecting microseismic points onto a horizontal plane before iterative calculation, interpreting the crack distribution morphology only from a horizontal perspective and ignoring the spatial distribution characteristics of microseismic points: if the crack type is near-horizontal, the interpretation result of this method is reasonable, and the spatial distribution of cracks does not need to be considered; if the crack type is near-vertical, the true crack morphology cannot be obtained from the horizontal plane projection, and should be obtained from the vertical direction; if the crack type is between the horizontal and vertical planes, the true crack morphology cannot be obtained from either horizontal or vertical projection. Therefore, accurately determining the crack type and orientation, reducing the computational load of microseismic point data, improving computational efficiency, and achieving a comprehensive and accurate characterization and analysis of the true crack morphology are problems that need to be solved in this field.

[0055] See Figure 1As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a crack morphology analysis method, which may specifically include:

[0056] Step S11: Acquire microseismic data of the hydraulic fracturing fracture, and classify the microseismic data to obtain target microseismic data with fracture morphology as the main fracture.

[0057] In this embodiment, microseismic data of hydraulic fracturing fractures are acquired, and the microseismic data are classified using a preset data classification algorithm to obtain target microseismic data with fracture morphology as the main fracture; wherein, the data classification algorithm includes a clustering analysis algorithm.

[0058] Specifically, cluster analysis algorithms are used to classify the microseismic data of the main fracture, and then noise reduction processing is performed on the microseismic data of the main fracture to obtain the target microseismic data.

[0059] Step S12: Perform convex hull calculation on the target microseismic data to obtain a three-dimensional convex hull. Calculate the projected area of ​​the three-dimensional convex hull to obtain each two-dimensional convex hull and its corresponding area. Take the area of ​​the two-dimensional convex hull with the largest value as the target two-dimensional convex hull area.

[0060] Step S13: Determine the main crack surface based on the target two-dimensional convex hull corresponding to the area of ​​the target two-dimensional convex hull, calculate the normal vector of the main crack surface to obtain the crack surface inclination angle and crack surface orientation, and determine the crack type based on the crack surface inclination angle and crack surface orientation.

[0061] Step S14: Based on the microseismic data, the main fracture surface, the fracture type, and the fracture surface orientation, perform fracture morphology analysis.

[0062] In this embodiment, all the microseismic data are projected onto the main fracture surface to obtain the projected main fracture surface; fracture morphology analysis is then performed based on the projected main fracture surface, the fracture type, and the fracture surface orientation. Specifically, a random fractal fracture network characterization method is used, and fracture morphology analysis is performed based on the projected main fracture surface, the fracture type, and the fracture surface orientation. In other words, the specific process for fracture morphology analysis is as follows: all microseismic data are projected onto the main fracture surface of the point cloud data, and then the random fractal fracture network characterization method is used to characterize the fracture morphology of the projected microseismic data.

[0063] The specific crack morphology analysis process is as follows: Figure 2As shown, firstly, microseismic data of the hydraulic fracturing fracture is acquired; then, the process of finding the plane of the point center is executed, namely: using a cluster analysis algorithm to determine the microseismic data of the main fracture, then performing noise reduction to obtain the target microseismic data, then performing convex hull calculation and projected area calculation to determine the main fracture surface, and projecting all the microseismic data onto the main fracture surface to obtain the projected main fracture surface; finally, based on the projected main fracture surface, the fracture type, and the fracture surface orientation, fracture morphology analysis is performed.

[0064] In this embodiment, microseismic data of hydraulic fracturing is acquired, and the microseismic data is classified to obtain target microseismic data with the main fracture morphology. Convex hull calculation is performed on the target microseismic data to obtain a three-dimensional convex hull. The projected area of ​​the three-dimensional convex hull is calculated to obtain each two-dimensional convex hull and its corresponding area. The area of ​​the two-dimensional convex hull with the largest value is taken as the target two-dimensional convex hull area. The main fracture surface is determined based on the target two-dimensional convex hull corresponding to the target two-dimensional convex hull area. The normal vector of the main fracture surface is calculated to obtain the fracture surface dip angle and fracture surface orientation. The fracture type is determined based on the fracture surface dip angle and fracture surface orientation. Fracture morphology analysis is achieved based on the microseismic data, the main fracture surface, the fracture type, and the fracture surface orientation. This application performs convex hull calculation and projected area calculation on the target microseismic data of the main fracture to determine the main fracture surface. The normal vector calculation of the main fracture surface yields the fracture surface dip angle and fracture surface orientation, thereby accurately determining the fracture type and orientation. This reduces computational load, improves computational efficiency, and ultimately achieves a comprehensive and accurate characterization and analysis of the true fracture morphology.

[0065] See Figure 3 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a crack morphology analysis method, which may specifically include:

[0066] Step S21: Acquire microseismic data of the hydraulic fracturing fracture, and classify the microseismic data to obtain target microseismic data with fracture morphology as the main fracture.

[0067] Step S22: Use the convex hull algorithm to calculate the convex hull of the target microseismic data to obtain a three-dimensional convex hull. Project the three-dimensional convex hull to obtain the projected two-dimensional convex hulls. Calculate the area of ​​each two-dimensional convex hull to obtain the corresponding two-dimensional convex hull area. Take the area of ​​the two-dimensional convex hull with the largest value as the target two-dimensional convex hull area.

[0068] Step S23: Determine the target two-dimensional convex hull corresponding to the area of ​​the target two-dimensional convex hull, take the plane at the center of the microseismic data points in the target two-dimensional convex hull as the main fracture surface, determine the normal direction of the main fracture surface, calculate the normal vector of the main fracture surface based on the normal direction to obtain the fracture surface dip angle and fracture surface orientation, and determine the fracture type according to the fracture surface dip angle and fracture surface orientation.

[0069] Step S24: Based on the microseismic data, the main fracture surface, the fracture type, and the fracture surface orientation, perform fracture morphology analysis.

[0070] Taking the fracture morphology analysis of a horizontal well as an example, the fracturing section of horizontal well H is divided into 9 segments. Clustering is used to obtain the microseismic data points of the main fracture in each segment. After noise reduction processing, the microseismic data points of the main fracture are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, where, Figure 4 The left image is a top view of the distribution cloud map of microseismic points in the target microseismic data wells, and the right image is a side view of the distribution cloud map of microseismic points in the target microseismic data wells. A convex hull algorithm is used to calculate the 3D convex hull. The projected area of ​​the 3D convex hull is then calculated to obtain the 2D convex hull and its corresponding area, thereby determining the main fracture surface of the microseismic data points in each fracturing segment. The composite image of the main fracture surface of the fracturing segments 1-9 in Well H is shown below. Figure 5 As shown in the figure. Based on the normal direction of the main fracture surface of each fracturing segment, the dip angle of the fracture surface is calculated. All microseismic data are projected onto the main fracture surface of the point cloud data. Then, the fracture morphology of the projected microseismic data is characterized by the random fractal fracture network characterization method, thereby realizing fracture morphology analysis. Specifically, the main fracture surface and fracture network characterization of the fracturing segments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 of well H are respectively shown in Figure 6(a), Figure 6(b), Figure 6(c), Figure 6(d), Figure 6(e), Figure 6(f), Figure 6(g), Figure 6(h), and Figure 6(I).

[0071] This application can efficiently and accurately locate the main fracture surface from microseismic data and pre-determine the fracture type, thereby enabling better characterization and analysis of fractures. For complex subsurface structures, it can better reflect the true state of the reservoir. In addition, the use of a fast convex hull algorithm greatly reduces the amount of computation and improves computational efficiency.

[0072] In this embodiment, microseismic data of hydraulic fracturing is acquired, and the microseismic data is classified to obtain target microseismic data with the main fracture morphology. Convex hull calculation is performed on the target microseismic data to obtain a three-dimensional convex hull. The projected area of ​​the three-dimensional convex hull is calculated to obtain each two-dimensional convex hull and its corresponding area. The area of ​​the two-dimensional convex hull with the largest value is taken as the target two-dimensional convex hull area. The main fracture surface is determined based on the target two-dimensional convex hull corresponding to the target two-dimensional convex hull area. The normal vector of the main fracture surface is calculated to obtain the fracture surface dip angle and fracture surface orientation. The fracture type is determined based on the fracture surface dip angle and fracture surface orientation. Fracture morphology analysis is achieved based on the microseismic data, the main fracture surface, the fracture type, and the fracture surface orientation. This application performs convex hull calculation and projected area calculation on the target microseismic data of the main fracture to determine the main fracture surface. The normal vector calculation of the main fracture surface yields the fracture surface dip angle and fracture surface orientation, thereby accurately determining the fracture type and orientation. This reduces computational load, improves computational efficiency, and ultimately achieves a comprehensive and accurate characterization and analysis of the true fracture morphology.
