TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of earthquake monitoring and fault activation detection, and particularly relates to a water injection induced earthquake monitoring and fault activation detection system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The influence of industrial activities on earthquakes, especially the possibility of inducing destructive earthquakes and its mechanism, has become one of the hotspots of international seismology. There are relevant cases that have confirmed that water injection during shale gas exploitation caused induced earthquakes. How to combine earthquake observation data, carry out experiments and physical-based numerical simulation research to understand the physical process of fault activation and weakening and the mechanism of water injection induced earthquakes, and then establish a risk assessment and prevention system for earthquake disasters caused by injection and production, is a common challenge to the future development of international seismology.
[0003] In shale gas and other industrial development areas, due to the need for injection and production for exploitation, during the injection and production process, stress and fluid action often cause nearby seismic activity, especially in the original fault area. Due to the activation of the fault, the seismic activity is enhanced, which may cause a large earthquake, causing the exploitation process to be suspended or stopped, and causing losses. The scale of the activated fault controls the size of the earthquake magnitude, and the size of the earthquake magnitude determines the strength of the earthquake disaster. Induced earthquakes usually occur within 2km of the hydraulic fracturing operation. Based on the existing geological exploration results of the shale gas demonstration area, a 3D geological model is constructed; by designing a seismic station observation, monitoring microseismic activity, carrying out fine structure imaging of buried faults, obtaining the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of seismic activity, and comprehensively analyzing fault activation. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out induced earthquake monitoring and fault activation detection, and to research a complete set of technical systems to provide technical support for induced earthquake disasters. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the above shortcomings in the prior art, the water injection induced earthquake monitoring and fault activation detection system provided by the present application solves the problem that the prior art lacks monitoring of fault activation and weakening in shale gas development areas and water injection induced earthquakes.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned application purposes, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a water injection induced earthquake monitoring and fault activation detection system, comprising a seismic observation module, a seismic phase data extraction module, a seismic preliminary positioning module, a seismic precise positioning module, a fault and structure modeling module, and a fault activation and seismic risk analysis module;

[0010] The fault and structure modeling module is configured to obtain a three-dimensional geological structure model of a shale gas development area, integrate the precisely positioned earthquake catalog into the three-dimensional geological structure model, and perform spatial positioning and visualization of seismic activity;
[0011] The fault activation and earthquake risk analysis module is configured to analyze a time variation trend of seismic activity, a b value variation, fault activation and earthquake risk according to the three-dimensional geological structure model integrated with the earthquake catalog, in combination with fault and seismic data.
[0012] The present application has the beneficial effect that a complete process system is established for shale gas industrial mining area earthquake monitoring, microseismic detection and identification, microseismic positioning, structure modeling and fault activation, a seismic monitoring system is designed, design indicators are given, a seismic detection and seismic positioning scheme is given, the precision and reliability are improved through double methods and grouping positioning, a scheme for discriminating fault activation is given through modeling, and a basis is provided for shale gas development area earthquake disaster prevention.
[0013] Further, the seismic monitoring array covers at least a thousand meters in the well site area and the area near the well site area in the shale gas development area, and extends to cover c kilometers in the well site fault area, and the distance between seismic stations is at least d kilometers.
[0014] The beneficial effect of the above scheme is that the design scheme achieves monitoring of -1 level microseismic, covers the range of earthquake risk areas, and reduces the economic cost of microseismic observation.
[0015] Further, the final seismic phase data is obtained by converting the seismic monitoring data according to a seismic data standard format in units of days to obtain continuous seismic identification input data.
[0016] According to the continuous seismic identification input data, two methods are used for seismic phase identification respectively.
[0017] The first method is to use the PhaseNet seismic phase selection algorithm to perform seismic phase identification according to the continuous seismic identification input data, and obtain first P wave seismic phase identification results and first S wave seismic phase identification results.
[0018] The second method: Based on the continuous earthquake identification input data, the fuzzy K-means clustering algorithm is used to perform seismic phase analysis to obtain the identification results of the second P-wave and the second S-wave.
[0019]
[0020] in, The waveform to be measured is classified into phase type. The probability score; The waveform to be measured; Seismic phase type Cluster center; For multiplication calculation; Seismic phase type Feature weights; Seismic phase type ; Seismic phase type Feature weights; This represents the total number of seismic phase types. The threshold for the accuracy of identifying the corresponding target seismic phase; For column normal form;
[0021] Based on the arrival times of the first motion phases from the identification results of the first P-wave phase, the first S-wave phase, the second P-wave phase, and the second S-wave phase, earthquake phase data within the region where the signal-to-noise ratio of both methods is greater than the signal-to-noise ratio threshold and the travel time difference between the P-wave and S-wave phases is not greater than the travel time difference threshold is retained as the final phase data. The final phase data includes the phase type and the arrival time of the first motion phase.
[0022] The benefits of the previous approach are: improved reliability of seismic phase identification and significantly reduced false identification.
[0023] Furthermore, the obtained initial earthquake catalog specifically includes:
[0024] A regional crustal velocity structure model was initialized using well logging, seismic exploration, and near-seismic tomography.
[0025] Based on the initialization results of the regional crustal velocity structure model, the P-wave first motion phase travel time tables and S-wave first motion phase travel time tables were calculated using the Taup seismic wave travel time calculation software; the grid spacing of the Taup seismic wave travel time calculation software was set to 1 / 10-1 / 5 of the station spacing.
[0026] Based on the final seismic phase data, the P-wave first motion phase travel time table, and the S-wave first motion phase travel time table, the REAL rapid seismic association and location method is used to perform seismic association and preliminary seismic location. This obtains P-wave phase information, S-wave phase information, seismic occurrence event, and seismic location for the same seismic event. Seismic events with a root mean square error greater than the error threshold in the travel time fitting are removed to obtain a preliminary seismic catalog. The preliminary seismic catalog includes several seismic events and the corresponding seismic occurrence time, seismic location, P-wave phase arrival time of each seismic station, and S-wave phase arrival time of each seismic station for each seismic event.
[0027] The beneficial effects of the previous step are: by reasonably setting the velocity model, the reliability of seismic correlation data is improved, providing high-precision input data for the next step.
[0028] Furthermore, the obtained precisely located earthquake catalog specifically includes:
[0029] The initial earthquake catalog was used as input for fine-tuning earthquake localization. For each earthquake event, two methods were used for fine-tuning:
[0030] The first method involves meshing the regional crustal velocity structure model to obtain several model elements, and then using the ray tracing method to calculate the theoretical P-wave and S-wave travel times of seismic waves from each seismic station to each model element node.
[0031] Using the ray tracing method, based on the arrival times of the P-wave phases, the arrival times of the S-wave phases, the theoretical travel times of the P-waves, and the theoretical travel times of the S-waves of each seismic station in the initially located seismic catalog, several source trajectories with arrival time constraints and arrival time difference constraints are constructed.
[0032] The set of intersection points of the earthquake source trajectories is calculated based on the trajectories of each earthquake source;
[0033] Based on the set of intersection points of the source trajectories, determine the distribution area V of the set of intersection points of the source trajectories used for localization;
[0034] Based on the geometric centroid of the set of intersection points of source trajectories within the distribution area V, the observed time residual of each intersection point of source trajectory in the set of intersection points is detected, and the difference is made with the average observed time residual to obtain the observed time difference value of each intersection point of source trajectory. The intersection points of source trajectories with observed time difference values greater than the difference threshold are marked as anomalous intersection points of source trajectories.
[0035] Remove anomalous source trajectory intersections from the set of source trajectory intersections to obtain the set of remaining source trajectory intersections. Calculate the geometric centroid of the set of remaining source trajectory intersections and use it as the source location. Based on the earthquake occurrence locations in the initially located earthquake catalog, obtain the source location error.
[0036] The second method:
[0037] Input the initial positioning earthquake catalog into the regional crustal velocity structure model, and use the hypoDD earthquake event precise positioning method to perform earthquake precise positioning, and based on the earthquake occurrence position in the initial positioning earthquake catalog, obtain the positioning error of the earthquake source position;
[0038] Reserve the earthquakes whose difference of the positioning error of the earthquake source position of the two methods is not greater than the positioning error threshold, to obtain a set of precisely positioned earthquakes;
[0039] Divide the set of precisely positioned earthquakes into several groups based on the depth of shale gas, and then use the hypoDD earthquake event precise positioning method to perform precise positioning to determine the earthquake occurrence position of each precisely positioned earthquake, and update the initial positioning earthquake catalog based on the earthquake occurrence position of each precisely positioned earthquake, to obtain a precisely positioned earthquake catalog.
[0040] The beneficial effect of the above scheme is that the reliability of earthquake positioning is significantly improved, especially the depth error is smaller, and the earthquake positioning result with reliable quality and high stability is selected, which provides reliable support for the next step of fault activation discrimination.
[0041] Further, the spatial positioning and visualization of the earthquake activity includes:
[0042] Data acquisition operation:
[0043] Acquire structural map data, well location and well layer position data, two-dimensional fault line data and topographic data;
[0044] Data preprocessing operation:
[0045] Convert the structural map data into XYZ format which can be spatially positioned and elevation mapped, and filter the elevation values;
[0046] Map the depth and layer position of the well location and well layer position data to ensure that the well information corresponds to the stratigraphic surface and structural profile in the structural map data;
[0047] Numerical three-dimensional coordinate conversion is performed on the two-dimensional fault line data according to the coordinates, depth and dip to form fault XYZ control point data;
[0048] Perform data normalization processing on the precisely positioned earthquake catalog, and form XYZ point data of the earthquake position according to the latitude, longitude and depth;
[0049] Three-dimensional reconstruction operation:
[0050] The fault XYZ control point data is taken as input of a three-dimensional modeling platform, and through combination of fault space expansion, structural surface regularization processing and well data correction technology, three-dimensional reconstruction of the underground structure is realized, specifically: the XYZ control point data of the fault is interpolated through a triangular subdivision interpolation algorithm of adjacent grid points to construct a fine fault surface; the structural profile in the structural map data is smoothed through a regular gridding technology; the depth and horizon of the stratum are corrected through well location and well horizon data to improve the spatial accuracy of the structural profile, so that a complete regional three-dimensional geological structure model is formed.
[0051] Seismic data integration operation:
[0052] The XYZ point data of the seismic position is integrated into the regional three-dimensional geological structure model in the form of point data to realize spatial positioning and visualization of the seismic activity.
[0053] The beneficial effect of the above scheme is that the three-dimensional visualization of the relationship between the earthquake and the structural features is better, and an intuitive basis is provided for judging the fault activation in combination with the comprehensive judgment of the structural data.
[0054] Further, the analysis of the time variation trend of the seismic activity, the b value variation, the fault activation and the seismic risk is specifically:
[0055] Analysis of the time variation trend of the seismic activity: based on the spatial overlap of the fault distribution characteristics in the regional three-dimensional geological structure model and the seismic catalog data, the spatio-temporal position relationship of the earthquake is analyzed according to the spatial distance calculation and projection, the distance between the earthquake position and the fault in different time periods is calculated, the number of earthquake events in the fault neighborhood is determined, and the time variation trend of the seismic activity is obtained;
[0056] Analysis of the b value variation: based on the spatial overlap of the fault distribution characteristics in the regional three-dimensional geological structure model and the seismic catalog data, the b value between the magnitude and the seismic frequency in different time periods is calculated by using the seismological method, and the b value variation is obtained;
[0057] Analysis of the fault activation: the number of earthquakes monitored in the year before the shale gas development is taken as the spatial background seismic activity, and the number of earthquakes in the fault neighborhood in the monitoring period is counted, and when the number of earthquakes in the fault neighborhood in the monitoring period is greater than twice the spatial background seismic activity, the fault is judged to be activated;
[0058] Analysis of the seismic risk: the fault scale is obtained, and the b value between the magnitude and the seismic frequency after the industrial activity is calculated, and when the b value between the magnitude and the seismic frequency after the industrial activity is greater than the b value threshold and the fault scale is greater than the scale threshold, the seismic risk control is performed.
[0059] The beneficial effect of the previous step is that by combining changes in seismic activity with the spatial relationship between earthquakes and tectonic structures, we can more directly and definitively determine fault activation.
[0060] Furthermore, the distance between the earthquake location and the fault is... ;in, This is the distance from the earthquake location to a point at the same depth on the fault plane; This indicates the fault strike direction.
[0061] The beneficial effect of the previous step is that it can provide a more quantitative basis for judging the relationship between earthquakes and faults.
[0062] Furthermore, the calculation of the b-value includes: calculating the cumulative number of seismic events of different magnitudes from a set minimum magnitude to a set maximum magnitude at intervals of 0.1, obtaining the total number of earthquakes, and then calculating the logarithm of the total number of earthquakes.
[0063]
[0064] in, This represents the total number of earthquakes. The minimum magnitude is set. For magnitude index; For the first The range of magnitude [ , The number of earthquakes within ) This is an interval index within the magnitude range; The maximum set magnitude;
[0065] Constantly changing and calculate the corresponding , obtain As the independent variable, with Let b be the fitted line of the dependent variable, and let b be the slope of the fitted line.
[0066] The beneficial effect of the previous step is that it provides a simple and easy-to-use method for assessing seismic hazard. Attached Figure Description

A straight line with a slope is fitted to the change of the logarithm value of the total number of different magnitudes to the maximum earthquake with the earthquake magnitude, and the slope when the fitting deviation is the smallest is the calculated b value.

[0147] Seismic hazard analysis is conducted based on the b-value after industrial activity and fault scale. Generally, the b-value for natural earthquakes is less than 1.0. According to the GR law and the statistical results of b-values from southern Sichuan to Zhaotong, if b > 1.2, seismic activity is considered relatively strong. If the b-value fitted line intersects the magnitude axis, the magnitude of the micro-earthquake is the predicted maximum possible earthquake magnitude. If the b-value is small, b < 0.7, the intersection with the horizontal axis may indicate a larger magnitude, potentially leading to a significant increase in seismic hazard. If the fault length is less than a few kilometers, the probability of a large earthquake is considered relatively low, providing support for seismic hazard assessment.
