[0002] As an unconventional clean energy, shale oil and gas has become a hot spot for exploration and development due to its abundant resources and successful large-scale development in the United States.

[0003] Horizontal well drilling technology is crucial in shale oil and gas production. Before drilling a horizontal well in an oilfield, a horizontal well trajectory must be designed on a 2D planar map loaded with the target strata and faults. If the fault throw is less than a threshold at a specific location, the horizontal well should be avoided. If the fault throw is greater than or equal to this threshold, the fault throw difference at each location and the geological conditions within a certain range surrounding the fault are generally required to determine the next horizontal well drilling location. Currently, users typically manually identify locations where the fault throw exceeds the threshold, record the throw, and draw a specific area on either side of the fault, known as the fault reference zone. Seismic horizons are then segmented and marked on the 2D planar map based on the fault. This process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and requires significant accuracy improvement. Therefore, a method for shale oil and gas evaluation is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
