Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration and development, and in particular to a method for hydraulic fracturing microseismic positioning processing and natural fracture microseismic event point identification and separation. Background Art

[0002] As a clean energy source, the development and utilization of shale gas can help reduce China's dependence on external energy and improve energy security. China's deep shale gas resources hold enormous potential, but their development involves a series of complex engineering and technical challenges, such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. However, due to the impacts of casing deformation and fracture channeling, development results have fallen short of expectations, hindering the path to scale-effective development. Accurate imaging of deep shale reservoirs presents significant challenges, as natural fractures exhibit multi-scale characteristics, making prediction accuracy and resolution insufficient for production needs. Furthermore, existing natural fracture prediction methods are limited, lacking a systematic reliability evaluation method for prediction results. The Luzhou deep shale gas development utilizes a "horizontal well drilling + volumetric fracturing" approach. Currently, deep shale gas development in the Luzhou area is facing significant challenges, primarily due to casing deformation and fracture channeling. Consequently, development results in the Luzhou area have fallen short of expectations. The characteristics of natural fracture development are crucial for adjusting fracturing parameters and optimizing development plans. Failure to properly identify and address natural fractures during the fracturing process can lead to risks such as well casing deformation and fracture channeling. Accurate characterization and identification of natural fractures in the reservoir and taking corresponding measures to adjust fracturing parameters and construction plans can reduce development risks, improve fracturing effects, and guide the design of subsequent fracturing plans to better optimize resource utilization and improve development benefits.

[0003] In view of the above resource demands and development characteristics, there is an urgent need for a method that can accurately predict natural fractures and accurately characterize natural fractures. Currently, conventional natural fracture identification technologies mainly include two methods: seismic attribute prediction method and hydraulic fracturing microseismic monitoring method.

[0004] Seismic attribute prediction method: Seismic attributes (curvature, coherence) reflect from different angles the deformation and fracture of the stratum when it is squeezed by tectonic stress. By calculating the curvature and coherence attributes, the development of fractures in the stratum can be predicted. The prediction range is large, but the prediction accuracy is relatively low.

[0005] Hydraulic fracturing microseismic monitoring method: collects microseismic waveform signals generated during the fracturing process, processes and locates the selected microseismic events generated during the fracturing process, and describes the crack morphology and spatial distribution pattern generated by fracturing. This method mainly uses the B-value analysis method to separate artificial fractures and natural fractures based on the energy generated by the microseismic event points, that is, determines the threshold values ​​of different fracture event points, and thus separates the microseismic event points. However, this calculation uses a single data and cannot be verified, and does not consider the energy absorption and loss of the cracks during the propagation of seismic waves, thereby reducing the accuracy of event point separation.

[0006] This patent adopts multidisciplinary technical ideas and means, proposes the basic principles and calculation methods of the method, and shows through theoretical calculations and error analysis that the method is reasonable and effective. At the same time, it uses multi-information fusion to interpret the natural fracture characteristics of logging data, and then performs energy compensation on the microseismic event points before separating the microseismic event points. This method makes up for the technical problem that traditional separation methods do not consider energy loss, thereby affecting the separation accuracy. This method has the technical advantages of strong practicality and high prediction accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention addresses the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a method for separating microseismic event points based on well logging constraints. Based on microseismic data collected in real time during hydraulic fracturing, the method extracts and analyzes effective information, groups microseismic events that are located or relocated in real time according to space, time, and energy level, and uses the energy differentiation characteristics of the well logging data analysis curve to clearly identify the spatial location of the fracture development section. On this basis, an interactive analysis is conducted using the microseismic event B value and the well logging fracture intensity curve to ultimately determine a specific microseismic separation scheme. This method fully utilizes the advantages of microseismic data attributes in predicting a wide range of fractures and the high accuracy of well logging data, improving the reliability and accuracy of microseismic data separation and natural fracture identification, thereby increasing the accuracy of natural fracture prediction in reservoirs, which is beneficial for guiding fracturing operations and improving fracturing results.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object of the invention, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] A microseismic event point separation method based on well logging constraints includes the following steps:

[0010] (a) Using well logging data, we analyze the energy differentiation characteristics of the logging data curve and calculate the fracture strength curve, which serves as the condition constraint for subsequent microseismic data separation;

[0011] (b) Extract the energy level, depth, and spatial location information of microseismic event data to clarify the distribution patterns and characteristics of microseismic event points in three-dimensional space;

[0012] (c) Based on the temporal and spatial locations of microseismic events, the fracture network morphology is constructed, assuming that new fractures are likely to extend from existing fractures;

[0013] (d) Interactive analysis of the B value of microseismic events and the well logging fracture intensity curve is performed, and energy compensation of the microseismic energy level is performed based on the fracture development intensity at different depths;

[0014] (e) Based on the energy conservation principle of fracturing fluid, distinguish between primary and secondary fractures and analyze the relationship between the number of fracture branches and the width, conductivity and pressure transmission of the main fracture;

[0015] (f) Evaluate the power law relationship between the number of microseismic events and their magnitude, calculate the B values ​​for different well sections, and form a systematic statistical analysis;

[0016] (g) Based on the energy-compensated microseismic information data, the separation scheme of microseismic event points is finally determined to achieve effective classification of natural fractures and reservoir matrix.

[0017] Furthermore, the calculation of the fracture strength curve is based on the anisotropic characteristics of the logging data and the fracture porosity analysis to provide a more accurate fracture strength assessment.

[0018] Furthermore, the energy compensation is achieved by correcting the microseismic energy level to accurately reflect the effect of crack strength on microseismic energy.

[0019] Furthermore, the power law relationship is derived by statistically analyzing the frequency and magnitude distribution of microseismic events to form a linear model to support the prediction of microseismic events.

[0020] Furthermore, the separation scheme has been verified multiple times using different test data to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results.

[0021] The present invention also discloses a microseismic event point separation system, which can be used to implement the above-mentioned microseismic event point separation method, specifically comprising:

[0022] Data acquisition module: responsible for collecting well logging data and microseismic event data, including energy level, depth and spatial location information.

[0026] Interactive analysis module: Interactive analysis of the B value of microseismic events and the logging fracture intensity curve is carried out, and energy compensation of microseismic energy levels is performed based on the fracture development intensity at different depths.

[0027] Primary and secondary fracture analysis module: Based on the energy conservation principle of fracturing fluid, it distinguishes primary and secondary fractures and analyzes the relationship between the number of fracture branches and the width, conductivity and pressure transmission of the main fracture.

[0028] Statistical analysis module: evaluates the power law relationship between the number of microseismic events and magnitude, counts the B values ​​of different well sections, and forms a systematic statistical analysis.

[0031] The present invention also discloses a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored. When the program is executed by a processor, the above-mentioned microseismic event point separation method is implemented.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0033] The present invention gives full play to the wide range of fracture prediction capabilities of microseismic data and the high precision advantages of well logging data, organically combines microseismic monitoring technology with high-precision well logging interpretation schemes, and solves the problem that traditional methods do not consider the energy attenuation of seismic waves during propagation in different media.

[0049] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment mainly includes six steps. First, the energy differentiation characteristics of the well logging data analysis curve are used to calculate the fracture intensity curve, which is used as a constraint for the subsequent microseismic data separation condition. Then, effective information such as the energy level, depth, and spatial location of the microseismic event data is extracted to clarify the distribution pattern and characteristics of the microseismic event points in three-dimensional space. Based on the timing and location of the microseismic events, the fracture network morphology is constructed, following the high probability of new fractures extending from existing fractures. On this basis, the microseismic event B value and the well logging fracture intensity curve are interactively analyzed. Combined with the fracture development intensity at different depths, energy compensation is performed on the microseismic energy level. Based on the fracturing fluid energy conservation principle, primary and secondary fractures are distinguished. The more fracture branches, the wider the primary fracture, the stronger the conductivity and pressure transmission. Then, the natural fracture connectivity is evaluated based on the microseismic event B value. The number of microseismic events and their magnitudes have a power law relationship. Statistical analysis of microseismic data was performed to establish B values ​​for different well sections. Based on the energy-compensated microseismic information data, a microseismic event point separation scheme was ultimately determined to achieve the classification of natural fractures and reservoir matrix. The separation results were finally verified using fracturing production data.

[0051] The energy and velocity differences between fast and slow shear waves are usually expressed as percent anisotropy:

[0052]

[0053] Where: P e ——is the energy percentage anisotropy;

[0054] E q ——is the energy of fast transverse waves;

[0055] E sl ——The energy of slow transverse waves.

[0056]

[0057] Where: Pt is the percentage anisotropy of time difference;

[0058] dt ssl —— is the time difference of slow shear waves;

[0059] dt sq ──It is the time difference of fast transverse waves.

[0060] The main factors contributing to shear wave anisotropy include uneven horizontal stress, open fractures, faults, high-angle formation bedding, and the influence of elliptical wellbores. In these cases, the fast shear wave azimuth corresponds to the direction of maximum horizontal principal stress or the strike of faults / fractures and formation bedding, respectively. A comprehensive fracture indication curve (FVPA_PRED) was constructed using a neural network approach by combining dual lateral resistivity fracture porosity, Stoneley wave attenuation fracture indication curves, and fast and slow shear wave anisotropy fracture indication characteristics with electrical imaging interpretation of fracture porosity (FVPA).

[0061] Based on the effective signals from microseismic events, the spatial location, onset time, and magnitude of the earthquake are located. The inversion process and characteristics of the formation and development of the hydraulic fractures and fracture network are then solved, and the length, width, height, and orientation of the fracture network formed by reservoir stimulation are determined. The waveform signals recorded by the geophones are processed through screening, noise suppression, and spatial positioning before being converted into a microseismic event point. The position of the microseismic event point represents the location of the vibration, and the size of the microseismic event point represents the magnitude of the vibration. The top view of the microseismic event is the projection of the microseismic event point onto the XY plane. The extension of the microseismic event point perpendicular to the well trajectory on the top view is defined as the length of the artificial fracture network, the extension of the microseismic event point along the well trajectory is defined as the width of the artificial fracture network, and the strike direction of the artificial fracture network is defined as the distribution direction of the microseismic event point. The side view of the microseismic event is the projection of the microseismic event point onto the Z plane, and its height on the Z plane is defined as the height of the artificial fracture network.

[0062] Typically, hydraulic fracturing-induced microseismic waves have low energy levels, ranging from -3 to -0.5. These microseismic waves experience significant energy attenuation with increasing observation distance. Some attenuation is caused by normal energy loss due to reservoir rock vibration during propagation, while others are due to abnormal attenuation caused by geological factors, such as passage through natural fractures and different lithologic interfaces. It is important to note that if the received microseismic signal energy is abnormal, it is necessary to analyze the seismic wave energy attenuation between the observation system and the signal's origin. This paper analyzes the relationship between energy attenuation and natural fractures during microseismic energy level propagation at different observation locations and proposes a precise evaluation method for compensating for seismic wave energy attenuation. By compensating for seismic wave energy attenuation, this method avoids prediction errors caused by low signal recognition accuracy for microseismic events and achieves precise processing of microseismic events. The method analyzes the fracture strength, artificial fracture complexity index, and B value of different wells, statistically analyzes the relationship between fracture strength, artificial fracture complexity index, and B value of different fracturing sections, and uses fracture strength interpreted from well logging to compensate for microseismic energy.

[0063] M=M0*e f

[0064] In the above formula, the microseismic energy level without energy compensation is M0, the crack strength is f, and M is the microseismic energy after energy compensation.

[0065] Microseismic events can be described by the b-value of their frequency-magnitude distribution. The Gutenberg-Richer relationship is as follows:

[0066] log N(m>M)=a-bM

[0067] In the above formula, N is the number of events with magnitude greater than M. The b value is the slope of the linear portion of the log(N) vs. M plot. This plot has a negative curvature for small values ​​of M due to the oversampling caused by the detection threshold. The resulting linear break is called the absolute minimum magnitude, M c .

[0068] On this basis, a microseismic event point separation scheme is determined to guide the prediction of natural fractures, and the actual fracturing construction curve is used to verify and analyze the prediction results.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2, the primary purpose of the orthogonal dipole (BCR) measurement method is to measure shear wave anisotropy in formations. In fractured formations caused by tectonic stress or other geological factors, shear wave velocities typically exhibit azimuthal anisotropy. Shear waves caused by particles vibrating parallel to the fracture strike and propagating upward along the wellbore axis are more azimuthal than those caused by particles vibrating perpendicular to the fracture strike and propagating upward along the wellbore axis. If the particle vibration caused by the shear wave is at an angle to the fracture strike, the incident shear wave splits into fast and slow shear waves propagating parallel and perpendicular to the fracture strike, respectively, and propagating upward along the wellbore axis at different velocities. This phenomenon is known as shear wave splitting. It is worth noting that this shear wave splitting phenomenon occurs not only in fractured formations but also in unfractured formations with unbalanced in-situ stress, i.e., in formations with strong anisotropy. Strong anisotropy is also observed when the formation dips at a large angle and has well-developed bedding. Indicators for measuring formation anisotropy include the percent energy difference between fast and slow shear waves, anisotropy indicators based on time difference, and anisotropy indicators based on time. Based on these theories, a single-well fracture intensity curve can be calculated, which, combined with microseismic B values, can be used to develop natural fracture and reservoir matrix separation strategies.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, a statistical analysis of the energy levels of natural cracks generated by hydraulic fracturing was conducted, and a total of 5770 event points were analyzed. The energy level distribution range of the platform microseismic event points was: -2.434 to 1.635. The analysis results showed that the platform had a high proportion of large-magnitude events and was greatly affected by natural cracks.

[0071] like Figure 4As shown in the figure, the fracture intensity, artificial fracture complexity index and B value of different wells were analyzed, and the relationship between the fracture intensity of different fracturing sections of horizontal wells and the artificial fracture complexity index and B value was statistically analyzed. When the fracture intensity is greater than 0.02, the fracture complexity index and natural fracture B value increase significantly.

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, using the microseismic monitoring data generated by actual fracturing construction, the spatial position of the event point and the time of earthquake occurrence can be clearly located, and the energy level corresponding to different event points can be characterized, providing a data basis for event point separation.

[0073] exist Figure 6 In the figure, microseismic waves propagate from the earthquake source to three detectors. After the earthquake source ruptures, the microseismic waves reach detectors G1, G2, and G3 according to their respective propagation times. The microseismic signals received at the detectors show varying degrees of attenuation. However, there are no natural cracks on the path from the microseismic event point to the G1 detector, which is a normal attenuation of energy with propagation distance. Natural cracks exist between the earthquake source and G2 and G3. Our method is to reversely compensate the energy of the received signals of each detector along the propagation path to compensate for the additional energy loss caused by the existence of natural cracks.

[0074] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the B-value analysis technique is used to calculate the B-value of a microseismic event point. The horizontal axis represents the energy level, and the vertical axis represents the number of microseismic data corresponding to that energy level, expressed logarithmically. A tangent line is drawn at a relatively smooth position on the statistical curve, and its slope is the B-value.

[0075] like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, energy compensation is performed on the collected microseismic time points in combination with the logging interpretation results. After compensation, the slope of the B value increases significantly, reflecting that there are obvious differences in energy strength at different event points. This shows that the energy compensation scheme can improve the recognition of artificial fractures and natural fractures. The absolute minimum magnitude increases from 0.82 to 1.04, and the energy compensation increment is 26.8%. At the same time, the data correlation also increases from 0.9974 to 0.9985. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, combined with the single well fracture prediction curve, the seismic fracture prediction model is adjusted to Figure 8 It can be seen that the fracture prediction accuracy is significantly improved after single well disturbance, and the matching rate is increased by more than 30%.

[0076] like Figure 9 As shown in the figure, a comparison is made between the single well fracture prediction curve and the natural fracture strength predicted by microseismic analysis. The comparison results show that the correlation coefficient is increased from 0.6419 to 0.8341 after energy compensation, providing an accurate data basis for subsequent attribute disturbance.

[0077] like Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the 3D seismic fracture prediction model is rotated by combining the fracture prediction curve after energy compensation. Figure 9 It can be seen that the fracture prediction accuracy is significantly improved after single well disturbance, and the matching rate is increased by more than 30%.

[0078] like Figure 11 As shown in the figure, a separation scheme was developed in combination with the logging interpretation results to carry out the division of response characteristics of different types of microseismic event points on the platform, completing the separation of microseismic events. Events with magnitudes greater than the threshold are basically microseismic events caused by natural fractures, showing an irregular trend of extending along the direction of natural fractures. For large-scale faults, the microseismic response characteristics are: the fracture energy level is relatively high, indicating a violent energy release, and the time and location of the earthquake are not fixed, and the extension distance is greater than 1000m.

[0079] like Figure 12 As shown in the figure, events with magnitudes less than the threshold are basically caused by the expansion of artificial fracture networks. The microseismic event points formed in the matrix reservoir are generally symmetrically distributed at both ends of the wellbore. The energy level event points are the smallest, and the lateral distance of spatial extension is also the shortest. The data distribution is relatively neat.

[0080] like Figure 13 As shown in the figure, due to the serious filtration loss of large-scale natural fractures, when the fracturing fluid enters the fracture zone, the pump pressure will be significantly reduced. The four wells of the Lu 203H56 platform have obvious pressure drop characteristics when carrying out fracturing operations at the location of large-scale development. The pressure drop time is positively correlated with the distance between the spatial location of the fracture development and the wellbore. The relevant well section construction parameters are selected to verify it, and the accuracy of the Lu 203H56 platform model is verified by engineering parameters.

[0081] like Figure 14 As shown in the figure, the fracturing operation data shows that the five wells of the Lu 203H58 platform all have obvious pressure drop characteristics at the location of large-scale fracture development. Due to the serious filtration loss of large-scale natural fractures, when the fracturing fluid enters the fracture zone, the pump pressure will be significantly reduced. The accuracy of the Lu 203H58 platform model is verified by engineering parameters.

[0082] like Figure 15 As shown in the figure, based on the comparison of the agreement rate between the natural fracture interpretation before and after microseismic energy compensation and the well logging interpretation, it can be seen that: before energy compensation, the agreement rate between the natural fractures identified by microseismic and the well logging interpretation is only 70%, green indicates agreement, and red indicates disagreement; before energy compensation, the agreement rate is increased to 83.3%, indicating that this technology can effectively improve the agreement rate.
