[0029] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0030] Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic implementation flowchart of a method for determining the paleo-stress direction of a formation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0031] See Figure 1 Figure 1 , according to the first aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for determining the paleo-stress direction of a formation is provided. The method includes: Step 101, obtaining a shale sample and an imaging logging image of the shale sample. The bedding plane of the shale sample is clear and conjugate shear fractures are developed. The conjugate shear fractures intersect with the bedding plane, and the conjugate shear fractures are filled with authigenic minerals; Step 102, restoring the true orientation 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 orientation 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 paleo-stress direction of the shale sample in a specific geological historical period according to the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fractures and the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures.
[0032] This application first obtains a shale sample, which is obtained by drilling. At the same time, an imaging logging image of the shale sample is obtained. The imaging logging image is obtained by a specific logging technology and is an image reflecting the distribution of physical parameters of the wellbore or objects around the well. The selected shale sample has a clear bedding plane and developed conjugate shear fractures. The bedding plane is caused by environmental changes or sedimentation changes during the sedimentation process; the conjugate shear fractures are fractures formed by the rock under stress, usually manifested as two sets of intersecting shear planes, and the development degrees of the two sets of fractures may be unbalanced. This application selects the more developed set of conjugate shear fractures, and the conjugate shear fractures in the selected shale sample 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.
[0033] During the drilling process, the orientation of the shale sample will change. Therefore, 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 fractures on the shale sample can be determined. Since the conjugate shear fractures are fractures formed by the rock under stress, the stress direction on the shale sample can be determined according to the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fractures. The direction of the acute angle of the conjugate shear fractures in the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fractures is the stress direction on the shale sample. In addition, during the geological structure process, the shale sample forms conjugate shear fractures after being subjected to shear stress, and these fractures will be filled with authigenic minerals subsequently. Therefore, the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures can be determined according to the precipitation time of the authigenic minerals filled in the conjugate shear fractures. Finally, the paleo-stress direction of the shale sample in a specific geological historical period is determined according to the paleo-stress direction determined by the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fractures and the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures.
[0034] Further, the original occurrence of conjugate shear fractures 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 a stereographic projection diagram, with a Wulff net diagram placed below the stereographic projection diagram; using the strike of the bedding plane as the rotation axis, rotating the Wulff net diagram clockwise, and the rotation angle is the same as the angle corresponding to the strike of the bedding plane; moving the pole corresponding to the bedding plane along the latitude direction to the center point of the stereographic projection diagram, restoring the position of the pole corresponding to the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fracture on the stereographic projection diagram, and obtaining the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fracture.
[0035] As Figures 2 - 5 shown, Figure 2 Shown is the display of projecting the pole corresponding to the bedding plane, i.e., pole A, and the pole corresponding to the conjugate shear fracture plane, i.e., pole B, onto the stereographic projection diagram. A Wulff net diagram is placed below this stereographic projection diagram. Then, as Figure 3 shown, using the strike of the bedding plane as the rotation axis, rotating the Wulff net diagram clockwise, where the rotation angle is the same as the angle corresponding to the strike of the bedding plane, and rotating the bedding plane to the horizontal state. Finally, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, moving the pole corresponding to the bedding plane along the latitude direction to the center point of the stereographic projection diagram. 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 stereographic projection diagram, determining the position of the pole corresponding to the conjugate shear fracture plane is the position of the pole corresponding to the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fracture on the stereographic projection diagram, i.e., Figure 5 pole in, and finally obtaining the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fracture.
[0036] Figure 6 Shows a schematic diagram of the shale sample before restoring the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fracture Figure 1 , Figure 7 Shows a schematic diagram of the shale sample after restoring the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fracture Figure 2 . As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, Fa and Fb are the conjugate shear fractures of the shale sample, The direction of the arrow is the paleo-stress direction of the shale sample determined based on the original occurrence of conjugate shear fractures. In this application, first, a shale sample and its corresponding imaging logging image are obtained. According to the imaging logging image, the true orientation of the shale sample in the ground can be restored to further determine the original occurrence of conjugate shear fractures on the shale sample. Based on the precipitation time of authigenic minerals filled in the conjugate shear fractures, the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures is determined. Finally, based on the original occurrence of the conjugate shear fractures and the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures, the paleo-stress direction of the shale sample in a specific geological historical period is determined. Applying this method can overcome the problem of limited paleo-stress direction analysis caused by the lack of original orientation information such as field geological outcrops and drilling cores, and has strong operability and relatively accurate results.
[0037] Figure 8 FIG. shows a schematic diagram of the feature matching between the bedding plane of the shale sample in the embodiment of the present disclosure and the imaging logging image.
[0038] As Figure 8 shown, according to the imaging logging image, restoring the true orientation of the shale sample includes: placing the shale sample according to preset requirements, rotating the shale sample to make the features of the bedding plane of the shale sample match the features of the imaging logging image, and determining the true orientation of the shale sample in the ground.
[0039] The shale sample is placed perpendicular to the horizontal plane at 90°, and then the shale sample is rotated to make the dip information and dip angle information of the bedding plane of the shale sample match 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 orientation of the shale sample in the ground. That is Figure 8 In, first place the shale sample perpendicular to the horizontal plane and rotate it so that after the bedding plane is unfolded, its dip information and dip angle information match the bedding plane information of the imaging logging image at the corresponding depth position.
[0040] In an implementable manner, determining the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures according to the precipitation time of the authigenic minerals filled in the conjugate shear fractures includes: determining the precipitation time of the authigenic minerals through mineral dating technology; determining the formation period of the conjugate shear fractures according to the precipitation time.
[0041] In this application, the precipitation time of authigenic minerals can be detected by mineral dating techniques, and this precipitation time is determined as the formation period of conjugate shear fractures. Among them, when the authigenic mineral is calcite or dolomite, the uranium-lead dating technique can be used to determine the precipitation time of calcite or dolomite. When the authigenic mineral is quartz, the rubidium-strontium dating technique can be used to determine the precipitation time of quartz. The uranium-lead dating technique and the rubidium-strontium dating technique have high precision, and the formation period of conjugate shear fractures determined by using the uranium-lead dating technique and the rubidium-strontium dating technique in this application is more accurate.
