Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of data processing, and is an intelligent horizontal well small borehole microseismic monitoring system and a data processing method. Background Art
[0002] During the gas injection and storage process in a gas storage reservoir, due to the flow of gas in the underground reservoir, a series of microseismic events may be triggered. These microseismic events usually have a relatively low energy level, but to a certain extent, they reflect the dynamic changes in the fracture system in the underground reservoir. Microseismic monitoring technology is of great significance in the operation and management of gas storage reservoirs, and can help identify possible fracture propagation in the reservoir and its impact on gas storage safety.
[0003] As an important facility for underground gas storage, the stability and safety of a gas storage reservoir are directly related to the stability of energy supply. The gas injection and storage operations in a gas storage reservoir will cause changes in the underground gas pressure, and this pressure change may lead to a change in the rock stress state in the reservoir, thereby triggering microseismic events. By analyzing the spatial distribution and temporal characteristics of microseismic events, the evolution trend of the fracture system in the reservoir and its interaction with natural fractures can be identified. When fractures in the reservoir expand or connect with the natural fracture system, it may lead to unplanned gas leakage, which poses a threat to the safety of the gas storage reservoir and environmental protection. Therefore, through the analysis of microseismic events, it is possible to identify whether fractures are likely to connect with natural fractures, and corresponding measures can be taken for prevention and intervention before the gas leakage risk becomes an actual problem, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the gas storage reservoir and the reliability of gas storage.
[0004] In the existing publicly disclosed invention technologies, for example, the patent with the publication number CN117150591A discloses a method for constructing a multi-well enhanced geothermal system, which includes: (1) drilling a vertical well into a heat reservoir as an injection well for the multi-well enhanced geothermal system, and simultaneously arranging a microseismic monitoring shallow well station centered on the wellhead and around it; (2) carrying out large-scale hydraulic fracturing on the vertical well, and carrying out moment tensor inversion on the stress waves received by the microseismic monitoring shallow well station to obtain source mechanism information and determine important parameters of the main hydraulic fractures; (3) establishing a continuous fracture network model, and displaying the fracture permeability distribution in the heat reservoir calculated according to the fracture network model with a geological honeycomb volume image; (4) drilling multi-target directional wells as production wells for the multi-well enhanced geothermal system, then carrying out secondary large-scale hydraulic fracturing on the directional wells to form a connection with the vertical well hydraulic fractures, and finally circulating for heat extraction.
[0005] The above patent does not take into account that during the hydraulic fracturing process, the evolution of fractures is dynamic, and microseismic monitoring can only provide the fracture state at a certain moment, lacking the magnitude classification processing of microseisms and lacking the real-time tracking of the expansion and connectivity changes of fractures. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that in the prior art, for the monitoring of gas leakage in gas storage caverns, there is a lack of dynamic evaluation of the connectivity between fractures in the microseismic area.
