Accurate identification of small-scale fracture systems is a crucial research area in the exploration and development of complex oil and gas reservoirs. Small-scale fracture systems are relatively small in size, making identification and prediction difficult, and represent a global research challenge. Conducting identification of micro-fracture systems and accurately predicting their spatial distribution patterns plays a vital role in improving exploration success rates and oil and gas reservoir development efficiency.

However, these methods suffer from problems such as high computational cost, low resolution and accuracy of small-scale fault prediction, ambiguity of fault strike and dip, and significant susceptibility to noise, failing to provide strong support for oil and gas exploration and development. In recent years, deep learning-based fault identification technology has developed rapidly, using convolutional neural networks, probabilistic neural networks, residual neural networks, and other methods to extract information such as fault planes and strikes at medium and large scales, achieving automatic fault identification and interpretation.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a multi-domain small-scale fracture recognition method based on a probabilistic neural network, comprising:
[0049] S101 transforms seismic record data to obtain instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency data of the earthquake;
[0050] S102 uses edge detection to obtain multi-domain fracture information by processing the instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency data of the earthquake.
[0051] S103 inputs multi-domain fracture information into a trained multi-domain small-scale fracture recognition model to obtain fracture data volume.
[0052] The process of obtaining the multi-domain small-scale fracture recognition model is as follows:
[0053] Randomly generate fracture models with different lengths, dip angles, fault displacements, and seismic noise levels that conform to the actual conditions of the work area;
[0054] Seismic records were obtained based on fault models;
[0055] Transforming seismic records yields instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency attributes, allowing for the acquisition of various information from seismic records in both the time and frequency domains.
[0056] The transverse variation information is obtained from the instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency attributes to characterize the fracture.
[0057] The instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency attributes of edge detection are used as training data, and the forward fracture model is used as the label. 70% of the data is set as the training set and 30% as the validation set. The neural network model is used for training, and the training is completed when the accuracy of the validation set reaches 90%.
[0058] The neural network model used is a probabilistic neural network.
[0059] The instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency data of the earthquake were obtained by using Hilbert transform.
[0060] The specific process of obtaining the instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency data of an earthquake using Hilbert transform is as follows: first, the earthquake record is transformed into an analytical signal, and then the instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency data of the earthquake are defined through the analytical signal;
[0061] The transformation formula is:
[0062] s(t)=s r (t)+js i (t),
[0063] Where s i (t),s r (t) represents the result after the Hilbert transform;
[0064] The formulas for defining the instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency data of an earthquake by analyzing the signal are as follows:
[0065]
[0066]
[0067]
[0068] Among them, A i (t), ψ i (t), f i (t) represents the instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency, respectively.
[0069] The Canny edge detection algorithm is used to extract information on the lateral changes from instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency attributes.
[0070] The specific method for obtaining seismic records based on the fault model is to perform a convolution operation between the generated fault model and the seismic wavelet of the work area to obtain a synthetic seismic record.
[0071] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-domain small-scale fracture recognition method based on a probabilistic neural network, such as... Figure 3 As shown:
[0072] Step 1: Randomly generate fracture models with different lengths, dip angles, fault displacements, and seismic noise levels that conform to the actual conditions of the work area;
[0073] Step 2: Perform convolution operation between the generated fault model and the seismic wavelet of the work area to obtain the synthetic seismic record;
[0074] Step 3: Perform Hilbert transform on the seismic record to obtain the "three instantaneous" attributes (i.e., instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency), thereby acquiring various information about the seismic record in the time and frequency domains.
[0075] Let the input signal be s(t), and the result after the Hilbert transform be s i (t),s r (t), the corresponding analytic signal is:
[0076] s(t)=s r (t)+js i (t), (1)
[0077] The three instantaneous properties of the analytic signal can be defined as follows:
[0078]
[0079] Among them, A i (t), ψ i (t), f i (t) represents the instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency, respectively.
[0080] Step 4: Use the Canny edge detection algorithm on the "three instants" attribute to obtain the lateral change information to characterize the fracture;
[0081]
[0082] Where G(x,y) and Θ(x,y) represent the magnitude and direction of the gradient.
[0083] Step 5: Use the "three instantaneous" attributes of edge detection as training data and the forward fracture model as the label. Set 70% as the training set and 30% as the validation set. Use a probabilistic neural network for training. Training is complete when the accuracy of the validation set reaches 90%.
[0084] Probabilistic neural networks (PNNs) are a branch of radial basis function networks and are often used for pattern classification. They integrate density function estimation and Bayesian decision theory into traditional radial basis function networks, making the training process simple and the convergence rapid.
[0085] Probabilistic Neural Networks (PNNs) are neural network models based on statistical principles. Essentially, they are parallel algorithms developed based on the Bayesian minimum risk criterion, representing a completely forward computation process. They have short training times, are less prone to local optima, and offer high classification accuracy. Regardless of the complexity of the classification problem, with sufficient training data, an optimal solution under the Bayesian criterion can be guaranteed. Therefore, this paper uses probabilistic neural networks for intelligent optimization of three-dimensional spatial morphology to reduce the ambiguity in identifying minute fractures.
[0086]
[0087] Where p is the probability matrix of fracture, and R is the matrix related to the fracture direction.
[0088] Step Six: Process the actual earthquake record data according to Steps Three and Four, and use it as input to identify small fractures in the work area using a trained probabilistic neural network. Finely characterize their location, length, dip angle, fault displacement, and other distribution features to achieve the purpose of small-scale fracture identification.
[0089] 1. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a multi-domain small-scale fracture identification technique based on probabilistic neural networks. This method primarily uses multi-domain attribute edge detection and probabilistic neural networks for small-scale fracture identification. First, seismic records are synthesized using a fracture model established through forward modeling, and their "three instantaneous" attributes are calculated to obtain various information from the seismic records in the time and frequency domains. Then, the Canny edge detection algorithm is used on the "three instantaneous" attributes to obtain fracture information. Finally, a probabilistic neural network is used to identify minute fractures within the work area, precisely characterizing the distribution features of small-scale fractures.
[0090] 2. Figure 4 It is a comparison chart of synthetic seismic records and "three instantaneous" attributes. Instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous phase are less affected by noise and can better reflect the characteristics of fractures in seismic records. Instantaneous frequency is more affected by noise and has a poorer effect on characterizing fractures.
[0091] 3. Figure 5 These are the results of fracture identification with different attributes. The "three instantaneous" attributes can generally reflect the characteristics of fractures in seismic records well, and contain multi-domain (time domain and frequency domain) information, expanding the amount of fracture information in seismic records and enabling better extraction of details from small-scale fractures. Compared with the fracture information from the "three instantaneous" attributes, the multi-domain small-scale fracture identification results map has higher fracture accuracy, clearer and more continuous fracture details, effectively suppressed noise, and a more realistic and natural spatial distribution, laying a good foundation for small-scale fracture prediction.
[0092] 4. Figure 6 This is a comparison of the results of small-scale fault seismic identification in the actual work area. Compared with the traditional post-stack coherent volume fault identification technology, the new technology has higher accuracy in identifying small-scale faults, with clearer and more continuous details. The new technology is significantly better than the traditional coherent volume technology in identifying micro-scale faults.
