DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0017] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the implementation flow of a method for determining paleostress direction of a stratum according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0018] See also Figure 1According to the first aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for determining the paleostress direction of a formation is provided, the method comprising: step 101, obtaining a shale sample and an imaging logging image of the shale sample, the shale sample having a clear bedding plane and developed conjugate shear fractures, the conjugate shear fractures intersecting the bedding plane, and the conjugate shear fractures being filled with authigenic minerals; step 102, restoring the true position of the shale sample according to the imaging logging image; step 103, determining the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fractures according to the true position of the shale sample; step 104, determining the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures according to the precipitation time of the authigenic minerals filled in the conjugate shear fractures; step 105, determining the paleostress direction of the shale sample in a specific geological history period according to the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fractures and the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures.

[0019] The present application first obtains a mud shale sample, which is obtained by drilling and collection, and simultaneously obtains an imaging logging image of the mud shale sample. The imaging logging image is obtained by a specific logging technology, and reflects the physical parameter distribution of the well wall or objects around the well. The selected mud shale sample has a clear bedding plane and developed conjugate shear fractures. The bedding plane is caused by environmental changes or changes in sedimentation during the sedimentation process; the conjugate shear fractures are cracks formed by stress fractures in rocks, usually manifested as two sets of intersecting shear planes, and the development degree of the two sets of fractures may be unbalanced. The present application selects a group with more developed conjugate shear fractures, and the conjugate shear fractures in the mud shale sample selected by the present application intersect with the bedding plane. The conjugate shear fractures are filled with authigenic minerals, which can be calcite, dolomite quartz, etc. The mineral type of the authigenic minerals is not specific.

[0020] During the drilling and collection process, the orientation of the shale sample will change, so the collected shale sample is matched with its corresponding imaging logging image to restore the true orientation of the shale sample underground. After determining the true orientation of the shale sample underground, the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fracture on the shale sample can be determined. Since the conjugate shear fracture is a fracture formed by the stress fracture of the rock, the direction of the stress on the shale sample can be determined according to the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fracture. The direction of the acute angle of the conjugate shear fracture in the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fracture is the direction of the stress on the shale sample. In addition, since the shale sample is subjected to shear stress during the geological tectonic process to form conjugate shear fractures, these fractures will be filled with authigenic minerals later, so the formation period of the conjugate shear fracture can be determined according to the precipitation time of the authigenic minerals filled in the conjugate shear fracture. Finally, the paleo-stress direction of the shale sample in a specific geological history period is determined according to the paleo-stress direction determined by the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fracture and the formation period of the conjugate shear fracture.

[0021] Furthermore, the original attitude of the conjugate shear fracture is determined according to the true orientation of the shale sample, including: projecting the poles corresponding to the bedding plane of the shale sample and the poles corresponding to the conjugate shear fracture plane onto the stereogram, with a Wu's grid diagram placed below the stereogram; rotating the Wu's grid diagram clockwise with the strike of the bedding plane as the rotation axis, and the rotation angle is consistent with the angle corresponding to the strike of the bedding plane; moving the pole corresponding to the bedding plane along the latitudinal direction to the center point of the stereogram, restoring the position of the pole corresponding to the original attitude of the conjugate shear fracture on the stereogram, and obtaining the original attitude of the conjugate shear fracture.

[0022] like Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, Figure 2 The figure shows the projection of the pole A corresponding to the bedding plane and the pole B corresponding to the conjugate shear fracture plane onto the stereogram. The Wu's network diagram is placed below the stereogram. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, take the direction of the bedding plane as the rotation axis, rotate the Wu's grid diagram clockwise, where the rotation angle is consistent with the angle corresponding to the direction of the bedding plane, rotate the bedding plane to a horizontal state, and finally Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the pole corresponding to the bedding plane is moved along the latitudinal direction to the center point of the stereogram. When the pole corresponding to the bedding plane moves, the pole corresponding to the conjugate shear fracture plane also moves accordingly. When the pole of the bedding plane moves to the center of the stereogram, the position of the pole corresponding to the conjugate shear fracture plane is determined to be the position of the pole corresponding to the original attitude of the conjugate shear fracture in the stereogram. Figure 5 Middle point , and finally the original occurrence of the conjugate shear crack is obtained.

[0023] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of a shale sample before the conjugate shear fractures return to their original state Figure 1 , Figure 7 Schematic diagram of a shale sample showing the restoration of the original orientation of the conjugate shear fracture Figure 2 .like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in Figure 2, Fa and Fb are conjugate shear fractures of shale samples. The arrow points to the paleostress direction of the shale sample determined based on the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fractures. The present application first obtains the shale sample and its corresponding imaging logging image, and restores the true position of the shale sample underground based on the imaging logging image, so as to further determine the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fractures on the shale sample, and determine the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures based on the precipitation time of the authigenic minerals filling the conjugate shear fractures, and finally determine the paleostress direction of the shale sample in a specific geological history period based on the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fractures and the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures. The application of this method can overcome the problem of limited analysis of paleostress direction caused by the lack of original orientation information and other information on field geological outcrops and drilling cores, and it has strong operability and relatively accurate results.

[0024] Figure 8 A schematic diagram showing feature matching between the bedding plane of a shale sample and an imaging logging image according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0025] like Figure 8 As shown, based on the imaging logging image, the true position of the shale sample is restored, including: placing the shale sample according to preset requirements, rotating the shale sample so that the characteristics of the bedding surface of the shale sample match the characteristics of the imaging logging image, and determining the true position of the shale sample underground.

[0026] The shale sample is placed at 90° perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and then the shale sample is rotated to match the dip information and inclination information of the shale sample bedding plane with the bedding plane information of the imaging logging image corresponding to the depth position of the shale sample. The position corresponding to the matching result is the true position of the shale sample underground. Figure 8 In the process, the shale sample is first placed vertically to the horizontal plane and then rotated so that the dip and inclination information of the bedding plane after the bedding plane is unfolded matches the bedding plane information of the imaging logging image at the corresponding depth position.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures is determined according to the precipitation time of the authigenic minerals filling the conjugate shear fractures, including: determining the precipitation time of the authigenic minerals by mineral dating technology; determining the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures according to the precipitation time.

[0028] The present application can detect authigenic minerals through mineral dating technology to determine the precipitation time of authigenic minerals, and determine the precipitation time as the formation period of conjugate shear cracks. Among them, when the authigenic mineral is calcite or dolomite, the uranium-lead dating technology can be used to determine the precipitation time of calcite or dolomite, and when the authigenic mineral is quartz, the rubidium-strontium dating technology can be used to determine the precipitation time of quartz. Uranium-lead dating technology and rubidium-strontium dating technology have high accuracy, and the formation period of conjugate shear cracks determined by the present application using uranium-lead dating technology and rubidium-strontium dating technology is more accurate.

Module 905 is used to determine the paleostress direction of the shale sample in a specific geological history period according to the original attitude of the conjugate shear fracture and the formation period of the conjugate shear fracture; the first determination module is specifically used to project the poles corresponding to the bedding plane of the shale sample and the poles corresponding to the conjugate shear fracture plane onto a stereogram, and a Wu's grid diagram is placed below the stereogram; the Wu's grid diagram is rotated clockwise with the strike of the bedding plane as the rotation axis, and the rotation angle is consistent with the angle corresponding to the strike of the bedding plane; the pole corresponding to the bedding plane is moved along the latitudinal direction to the center point of the stereogram, and the position of the pole corresponding to the original attitude of the conjugate shear fracture is restored to the position of the stereogram to obtain the original attitude of the conjugate shear fracture.
