Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of oil and gas geophysical exploration, and in particular to a device and method for reducing explosive-induced noise. Background Technology

[0002] Onshore oil and gas seismic exploration is often located in complex surface areas such as mountains, deserts, and loess plateaus. Explosive sources are the most commonly used excitation sources for onshore seismic exploration. After the explosives explode, they generate huge energy and form a violent shock wave that instantly acts on the surrounding rock and soil. The rock and soil near the explosion zone are shattered, resulting in a violent destructive effect. The remaining small part of the energy propagates to the surroundings in the form of medium deformation, forming seismic waves.

[0003] In oil and gas exploration, ground geophones receive seismic waves propagating upwards or laterally from the blast point. This seismic information is considered noise in oil and gas exploration. Only downward-propagating seismic waves can generate reflected seismic information at the interface of the subsurface medium and return to the ground geophones for reception. These are considered effective seismic waves (reflected waves, refracted waves, diffracted waves, sectional waves, etc.).

[0004] In order to find the best excitation effect, many scholars have conducted a lot of experiments on factors such as explosive detonation velocity, excitation charge, explosive column diameter, excitation medium of surrounding rock, excitation well depth, impedance coupling between explosive and surrounding rock, combined excitation, and well sealing method. The optimal excitation parameters are determined by the seismic signal characteristics obtained from the experimental data.
