[0029] The method embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed in a computer terminal or a similar computing device.

[0032] In this embodiment, a method for determining crack distribution is provided. Figure 2 is a flow chart of an optional method for determining crack distribution according to an embodiment of the present application, the process comprising the following steps S200-S220:

[0033] Step S200, obtaining well logging data of the target area.

[0034] Specifically, obtaining logging data in the target area is the basis for evaluating fracture distribution and building mechanical models. Logging technology can obtain a series of physical property information of underground formations during drilling, including acoustic wave time difference, resistivity, density, neutron porosity, etc. These data are crucial for analyzing the mechanical properties and fracture status of rocks.

[0035] For example, logging instruments are deployed in the wells of the target area to record the formation response at different depths. Instruments include but are not limited to sonic logging instruments, resistivity logging instruments, density logging instruments, and neutron logging instruments, which can measure the physical properties of the formation in real time or after the fact. After the data is collected, it is pre-processed to eliminate outliers and measurement errors to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0036] Step S210, constructing a mechanical model based on the logging data.

[0037] Among them, the mechanical model is used to indicate the geomechanical conditions of the target area.

[0038] Specifically, building a mechanical model is a key step in converting logging data into geomechanical understanding and fracture prediction. The model not only reflects the physical and mechanical properties of rocks, but also considers the impact of fractures on the stress-strain behavior of rocks, providing a scientific basis for predicting geological changes.

[0039] For example, first, the key mechanical properties of the rock, such as elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio and electrical conductivity, are calculated based on the logging data. Then, a suitable mechanical model, such as an elastic-electric coupling model or a fracture mechanics model, is selected or developed, and the model parameters are set. On this basis, a three-dimensional geological model is created using numerical simulation software (such as COMSOL, ABAQUS, etc.), and the rock properties and fracture states are mapped into the model to construct a mechanical model that can reflect the geomechanical conditions of the target area.

[0040] Step S220, simulating geological changes in the target area under preset environmental conditions according to the mechanical model to determine the distribution of cracks in the target area.

[0041] Specifically, simulating geological changes is the core of predicting fracture distribution based on mechanical models. Through simulation, we can observe the generation, expansion and redistribution of fractures under different environmental conditions (such as tectonic stress changes, fluid injection / production, etc.), as well as the impact on reservoir connectivity.

[0042] For example, based on the mechanical model constructed in step 2, preset environmental conditions are set, such as formation pressure, temperature, tectonic stress, etc. Dynamic simulation is performed using numerical simulation software to simulate rock stress, strain, displacement and fluid flow under these conditions. From the simulation results, the generation and expansion behavior of cracks, as well as the impact of cracks on rock porosity, permeability and connectivity are analyzed to determine the distribution of cracks.

[0043] In this embodiment, an accurate mechanical model of the target area can be constructed based on the logging data. By constructing the mechanical model, the mechanical properties and crack state of the rock can be linked to the geomechanical conditions, providing a theoretical framework for simulating geological changes and improving the scientificity and accuracy of fracture distribution prediction. Then, the geological changes in the target area under different environmental conditions are simulated, so as to accurately determine the fracture distribution in the target area. This method not only improves the accuracy of fracture prediction, but also can dynamically analyze the changing trend of fracture distribution, providing a scientific basis for decision-making in the fields of geological exploration, oil and gas extraction, and effectively improving the efficiency and safety of resource extraction.

[0044] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, step S210, constructing a mechanical model based on well logging data. It includes: steps S300-S320:

[0045] Step S300, determining characteristic parameters related to the mechanical properties of rocks in the logging data.

[0046] Specifically, the mechanical properties of rocks, such as elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, compressive strength, etc., are key to evaluating fracture distribution and dynamic behavior. Well logging data contains information related to these mechanical properties, such as acoustic wave delay, resistivity, density, etc. These parameters can be converted into mechanical properties through specific rock physics models.

[0047] Exemplarily, by analyzing the logging data, characteristic parameters directly or indirectly related to the mechanical properties of the rock are identified. For example, acoustic time difference data can be used to calculate the elastic modulus of the rock; resistivity data can reflect the porosity and fluid saturation of the rock, indirectly affecting the mechanical strength of the rock. Use data processing software such as Matlab or Python libraries (such as pandas and numpy) to perform data cleaning and feature extraction. Then, apply rock physics models such as Dvorkin and Mavko, convert the acoustic time difference into Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio, convert the resistivity into porosity and fluid saturation, and finally obtain characteristic parameters related to the mechanical properties of the rock.

[0048] Step S310, determining the mechanical model framework according to the type of characteristic parameters.

[0049] Specifically, different characteristic parameters are suitable for describing different types of dynamic behaviors. Therefore, it is crucial to select an appropriate mechanical model framework based on the type of characteristic parameters. For example, acoustic time difference and resistivity data may point to the elastic behavior and fluid dynamic behavior of the rock, respectively, and a model framework that can comprehensively consider these behaviors is required.

[0050] Exemplarily, based on the type of characteristic parameters extracted in step one, select an appropriate mechanical model framework. For example, if the characteristic parameters include the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of the rock, an elastoplastic model framework can be selected. If resistivity and fluid saturation are also included, an elastoplastic coupling model framework can be further considered. Consult relevant literature to understand the applicable conditions and parameter setting methods of the model framework. Use professional software (such as COMSOL or ABAQUS) or self-written programs (such as using Python or Fortran) to build a model framework to ensure that the model can accurately reflect the rock mechanical behavior and fluid dynamics process in the target area.

[0051] Step S320, setting parameters of the mechanical model framework and constructing a mechanical model according to the geological conditions of the target area, the relationship between the characteristic parameters and the mechanical properties of the rock.

[0052] Specifically, the parameters of the mechanical model need to be set according to the geological conditions and rock mechanical characteristics of the target area to ensure that the model can accurately reflect the actual geomechanical conditions.

[0053] Exemplarily, geological conditions of the target area, such as stratigraphic structure, tectonic stress, fluid pressure, etc., are determined with reference to geological research reports and logging data. Combined with the characteristic parameters of rock mechanical properties obtained in step 1, each parameter in the mechanical model framework (such as elastic modulus, crack density, porosity, fluid saturation) is assigned a value. If the model framework needs to consider multiphase fluid flow, fluid property data (such as viscosity, density) must also be collected. Use numerical simulation software, such as OpenGeoS or self-written C++ or Fortran programs, input the set parameters, and construct a mechanical model.

[0054] In this embodiment, by determining the characteristic parameters, the original logging data is effectively converted into information directly related to the mechanical properties of the rock, providing the necessary input parameters for the construction of the subsequent mechanical model, and improving the accuracy of the model prediction. By selecting the mechanical model framework in a targeted manner, a model that matches the rock mechanical properties and geological conditions of the target area can be constructed, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the fracture distribution prediction. Through the precise setting of parameters, the constructed mechanical model can more realistically simulate the rock mechanical behavior and fluid dynamics process of the target area, thereby improving the scientificity and practicality of the fracture distribution prediction and providing strong technical support for geological decision-making. This process can also reveal the complex relationship between rock mechanical properties and fracture generation and expansion, and promote theoretical research and technological progress in the field of geology.

[0055] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, step S320 sets the parameters of the mechanical model framework and constructs the mechanical model according to the geological conditions of the target area, the relationship between the characteristic parameters and the mechanical properties of the rock. It includes: steps S400-S420:

[0056] Step S400, determining the elastic parameters of the rock in the target area according to the acoustic wave time difference.

[0057] Specifically, the acoustic time difference is an important parameter in rock physics logging. It reflects the speed of sound wave propagation in the rock and is related to the elasticity and porosity of the rock. By analyzing the acoustic time difference, the elastic parameters of the rock can be derived, including Young's modulus (E) and Poisson's ratio (μ), which are the basis for building a mechanical model.

[0058] Exemplarily, the acoustic time difference data obtained from logging is input into a rock physics model, such as the Dvorkin and Mavko models. Through mathematical transformation, the acoustic time difference is converted into Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of the rock. This process may require iterative calculations and error correction to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results. Data processing and model calculations are performed using Matlab, Python or specialized rock physics software (such as GeoFrame).

[0059] Step S410, determining the conductivity of the rock in the target area according to the resistivity.

[0060] Among them, the characteristic parameters include acoustic wave time difference and resistivity.

[0061] Specifically, resistivity is another important parameter in logging data, which is related to the porosity, fluid saturation and electrical conductivity of the rock. Electrical conductivity is a physical parameter that describes the ability of rocks to conduct electricity. In porous media, electrical conductivity is closely related to the pore structure of the rock and the properties of the fluid.

[0062] For example, the resistivity data is converted into the conductivity of the rock using the Archie formula or its variant. This conversion needs to take into account the porosity, fluid saturation, and dielectric constant and resistivity index factors of the formation. Data preprocessing is performed using professional software (such as LasViewer or WellExplorer), and then the Archie formula is applied for calculation to obtain the conductivity value of the rock.

[0063] Step S420, inputting elastic parameters, electrical conductivity, and geological conditions into the mechanical model framework as basic parameters of the mechanical model framework to construct a mechanical model.

[0064] Specifically, the construction of mechanical models requires combining the physical and mechanical parameters of rocks with geological conditions to reflect the actual geomechanical environment of the target area. The selection of the model framework and the setting of parameters directly determine the accuracy and applicability of the model.

[0065] For example, a mechanical model framework that can comprehensively consider rock elastic parameters and electrical conductivity is selected, such as an elastic-electric coupling model. The Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and electrical conductivity data obtained in steps one and two, together with the geological conditions of the target area (such as tectonic stress, fluid pressure, temperature, etc.) are used as basic inputs to construct a mechanical model using professional numerical simulation software (such as COMSOL Multiphysics or ABAQUS) or a self-written program (such as using Python or MATLAB). During the model construction process, it is necessary to ensure that the physical meaning and dimensions of the parameters are consistent to facilitate the operation of the model and the interpretation of the results.

[0066] In this embodiment, the elastic parameters of the rock in the target area are accurately determined, which provides a solid physical basis for the mechanical model constructed subsequently and improves the accuracy of the model in predicting the distribution of cracks and the mechanical behavior of rocks. The electrical conductivity of the rock is determined by resistivity, which provides key parameters for constructing a mechanical model including the conductivity effect, and helps to more comprehensively evaluate the geological conditions and the fluid dynamic behavior of the rock. By integrating the elastic parameters, electrical conductivity and geological conditions of the rock, the mechanical model constructed can more accurately simulate the mechanical behavior and fluid dynamic process of the rock. This model can not only predict the distribution and dynamic changes of cracks, but also evaluate the impact of cracks on the physical properties of the rock and the connectivity of the reservoir, providing a scientific decision-making basis for geological exploration, oil and gas production and underground engineering design. Through more comprehensive parameter input, the credibility and practicality of the model prediction results have been significantly improved, promoting technological progress in the field of geoscience and the optimization of resource development.

[0067] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, step S220 simulates the geological changes of the target area under preset environmental conditions according to the mechanical model to determine the distribution of cracks in the target area. It includes: steps S500-S520:

[0068] Step S500: input the preset environmental conditions into the mechanical model to simulate the geological changes in the target area under the preset environmental conditions.

[0069] Specifically, the preset environmental conditions usually include formation pressure, temperature, tectonic stress, and fluid injection / extraction. Changes in these conditions will directly affect the stress state of the rock and fluid flow, thereby affecting the generation and distribution of cracks. By inputting these environmental conditions into the mechanical model, the impact of geological changes on cracks can be simulated.

[0070] Exemplarily, the preset environmental conditions are input into the mechanical model constructed in step three in the form of parameters. For example, in COMSOL Multiphysics software, the "Solid Mechanics" module and the "Fluid Dynamics" module can be used to set the formation pressure, temperature distribution, tectonic stress field, etc. Through numerical simulation, the response of the model under these conditions is observed, including the strain and displacement of the rock and the flow distribution of the fluid. Special attention is paid to the stress concentration and fluid flow in the fracture area, which is crucial for understanding the generation and expansion of the fracture.

[0071] Step S510, analyzing geological changes to determine the location, size, and density of cracks generated in the target area.

[0072] Specifically, the analysis of simulation results is a key step in determining the distribution of fractures. It is necessary to extract fracture characteristic parameters from the simulation results, including the location, size and density of fractures, which reflect the distribution characteristics of fractures and their impact on reservoir connectivity.

[0073] For example, the stress distribution map, displacement field and fluid flow path in the simulation results are analyzed to identify the location of cracks. Usually, cracks are formed in stress concentration areas or fluid flow paths. By observing the stress and fluid flow data in the crack area, the size (such as the length and width of the crack) and density (the ratio of the number of cracks to the area) of the cracks are estimated. Image processing techniques such as edge detection and threshold segmentation can be used to automatically identify and quantify crack features from the three-dimensional data of stress and fluid flow fields.

[0074] Step S520, determining the crack distribution in the target area according to the position, size and density of the cracks generated in the target area.

[0075] Specifically, the determination of fracture distribution is the basis for evaluating geological conditions and formulating mining strategies. By comprehensively considering the location, size and density of fractures, a fracture distribution map of the target area can be drawn.

[0076] For example, based on the fracture characteristic parameters obtained in step 2, a fracture distribution map is created using GIS (geographic information system) software or a self-written Python script. In the map, different colors or legends are used to represent fractures of different sizes and densities, as well as their spatial distribution in the target area. In addition, the connectivity indicators of the fractures, such as fracture connectivity and fracture network density, can also be calculated to further evaluate the impact of fractures on reservoir performance.

[0077] In this embodiment, by simulating geological changes under preset environmental conditions, the dynamic behavior of cracks can be observed, including the generation of cracks, the direction of expansion and the flow of fluids in the cracks, providing intuitive simulation results for the subsequent evaluation of the distribution of cracks. By analyzing the simulation results, the distribution characteristics of cracks can be quantified, including the location, size and density of cracks, which are of great significance for evaluating reservoir connectivity and oil and gas production potential. The final determined crack distribution can not only intuitively display the crack distribution characteristics of the target area, but also provide a scientific basis for geological decision-making. By accurately describing the location, size and density of crack generation, the oil and gas production strategy can be optimized, the recoverability of resources can be improved, and the risks and uncertainties in the production process can be reduced. By inputting preset environmental conditions for simulation, analyzing the crack characteristic parameters in the simulation results, and finally determining the crack distribution, this series of steps constitutes a complete crack distribution evaluation process. This process uses mechanical models and numerical simulation technology to overcome the limitations and uncertainties of traditional evaluation methods and provide more accurate and reliable crack distribution information for geological exploration and oil and gas production. The effect of this technology is that it improves the scientificity and efficiency of geological decision-making, helps optimize resource development strategies, reduces mining risks, and promotes the advancement of geological science and oil and gas extraction technology.

[0078] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, in step S220, after simulating the geological changes of the target area under the preset environmental conditions according to the mechanical model to determine the crack distribution in the target area, the method further includes steps S600-S620:

[0079] Step S600, obtaining the actual crack distribution in the target area.

[0080] Specifically, the acquisition of actual crack distribution is to verify the prediction results of the mechanical model and ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the model. This usually involves comprehensive analysis of multi-source data such as ground, drilling and logging.

[0081] For example, ground geological survey data of the target area are collected, including geological maps, surface fracture observation records, etc. These data can provide macroscopic fracture distribution information. By drilling cores, laboratory analysis, such as X-ray tomography, CT scanning and thin section analysis, can be carried out to obtain detailed information on fractures inside the rock. Fracture identification logging tools, such as imaging logging and microseismic monitoring, are used to extract fracture characteristics from logging data and conduct depth detection of fracture distribution. Geological experts interpret the above data and use GIS software or self-compiled programs to integrate various data into a unified fracture distribution map as a benchmark for evaluating the accuracy of the mechanical model.

[0082] Step S610, determining whether the accuracy of the mechanical model meets the requirements based on the actual crack distribution and the determined crack distribution.

[0083] Specifically, the accuracy of the model is verified by comparing the actual fracture distribution with the model prediction results to evaluate the utility and applicability of the model.

[0084] For example, the actual crack distribution map obtained in step 1 is compared with the crack distribution map determined in step 3 to evaluate the consistency of crack location, size and density. Statistical methods, such as root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient (R^2), are used to quantify the difference between the model prediction results and the actual crack distribution to determine whether the accuracy of the model meets the preset standards. Invite geological experts to review the model prediction results to evaluate the model's ability to explain complex geological phenomena, as well as the scientificity and credibility of the prediction results.

[0085] Step S620: When it is determined that the accuracy of the mechanical model does not meet the standard, adjust the parameters of the mechanical model until it is determined that the accuracy of the mechanical model meets the standard.

[0086] Specifically, the adjustment of model parameters is to improve the accuracy of model prediction so that it can more accurately reflect the distribution of fractures under actual geological conditions.

[0087] For example, first, perform a parameter sensitivity analysis to determine which parameters have the greatest impact on the model prediction results, such as the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, electrical conductivity, tectonic stress, etc. of the rock. Based on the results of the sensitivity analysis, adjust the values ​​of key parameters. Methods such as orthogonal design, genetic algorithm, or Bayesian optimization can be used to find parameter combinations that can improve the accuracy of the model. After adjusting the parameters, rerun the mechanical model and compare it with the actual crack distribution to evaluate the improvement effect of the model. According to the verification results, it may be necessary to iterate the parameters multiple times until the crack distribution predicted by the model meets the actual requirements and meets the preset standards.

[0088] In this embodiment, by comparing with the actual crack distribution, the model parameters are continuously adjusted and optimized, and finally the accuracy of the model in predicting crack distribution is ensured to meet the standards. This process improves the scientificity and efficiency of geological model construction, provides accurate crack distribution information for geological exploration, oil and gas production and underground engineering, and helps to optimize resource development strategies, reduce geological risks and improve mining efficiency. At the same time, through the continuous optimization of the model, the development of geological science and technology has been promoted, and the overall scientific research capabilities and technical level of the industry have been improved.

[0089] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the method further includes: steps S700-S710:

[0090] Step S700, determining the crack distribution in the target area according to the adjusted mechanical model.

[0091] Specifically, after the model parameters are optimized and adjusted, the mechanical model can more accurately reflect the geomechanical environment of the target area. At this time, the model needs to be run again to predict the distribution of cracks in order to obtain more accurate prediction results.

[0092] Exemplarily, the parameters adjusted and verified in step 3 are input into the mechanical model framework to ensure that the physical environment and geological conditions of the model are consistent with the actual conditions of the target area. Use professional numerical simulation software (such as COMSOL or ABAQUS) or self-written programs (such as Python, MATLAB, etc.) to run the adjusted model to simulate the geomechanical response of the target area under preset environmental conditions, focusing on the generation, expansion and redistribution of cracks. After the model runs, the predicted results of the fracture distribution are output, including characteristic parameters such as the location, size and density of the fractures, as well as the effects of the fractures on the mechanical properties of the rock and the flow of the fluid.

[0093] Step S710, determining a change trend of crack distribution according to crack distribution in a target area within a preset time period.

[0094] Specifically, over time, geological conditions and mining activities can lead to the generation, expansion, closure or redistribution of fractures, a dynamic process that reflects the changing trend of fracture distribution. Determining the changing trend of fracture distribution is of great significance for evaluating reservoir performance and optimizing mining strategies.

[0095] For example, a series of preset time periods are set, for example, every 3 months is a time period, and the optimized mechanical model is used to predict the crack distribution in each time period. The crack distribution prediction results of each time period are compared and analyzed to identify the changes in cracks in different time periods, including the increase or decrease in the number of cracks, changes in size, and expansion or contraction of the distribution range. Time series analysis methods such as trend line fitting and autoregressive model (AR model) are used to evaluate the trend of crack distribution over time and predict the possibility of future crack distribution.

[0096] For example, logging operations can be performed in the target area to collect acoustic transit time and resistivity data. Based on the acoustic transit time and resistivity data, a mechanical model that takes into account changes in rock elasticity and conductivity can be established. Multi-parameter logging operations can also be performed in the target area to collect data such as acoustic transit time, resistivity, gamma rays, density, and neutron porosity. Based on the multi-parameter data, a mechanical model that comprehensively considers the physical properties of the rock can be established.

[0097] In this embodiment, the optimized mechanical model is combined to predict the distribution of cracks, and the trend of crack distribution changes within a preset time period is analyzed, which constitutes a systematic method for dynamically evaluating the impact of geological changes on cracks. This method improves the accuracy of crack distribution prediction, enhances the scientificity and foresight of crack change trend assessment, and provides strong technical support for decision-making in geological exploration, oil and gas production, and underground engineering. It not only optimizes resource development strategies and reduces geological risks, but also promotes in-depth understanding and research of crack dynamics in the field of geological science, and promotes the advancement and application of industry technology.
