[0002] Microseismic monitoring technology is currently a common technology for evaluating the effect of hydraulic fracturing. Fracturing microseismic monitoring evaluates the effect of hydraulic fracturing by obtaining parameters related to microseismic events, including the excitation time, source location, magnitude and source mechanism of microseismic events; however, there are still challenges in accurately describing the geometry and orientation of fractures and the connectivity between fractures through microseismic positioning alone.
[0003] With the advancement of sensing technology, distributed acoustic sensing technology (DAS) can collect full-well section and high-density fracturing microseismic wave field records during fracturing by laying optical fibers in fracturing wells or adjacent wells. The optical fiber is close to the target reservoir for monitoring, and the microseismic wave field characteristics are richer; through detailed analysis of the wave field, the fracturing transformation effect can be better explained.
