Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of oil and gas production, and in particular to an intelligent microseismic signal acquisition device for on-site monitoring of reservoir cracks in oil and gas wells. Background Art

[0002] In the development of low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs, such as shale and tight formations, improving reservoir permeability and conductivity is key to increasing oil and gas production and efficiency. To this end, volumetric fracturing is often used. By injecting water or gas into the reservoir, complex fracture systems are created. These fractures serve as pathways for oil and gas production, significantly improving reservoir performance.

[0003] However, the expansion of reservoir fractures during volume fracturing generates microseismic signals that contain important information about fracture evolution, such as fracture type, orientation, and size. However, due to the heterogeneity and anisotropy of the reservoir, microseismic signals are easily attenuated as they propagate through the rock, and their inherently low energy makes it difficult for near-surface monitoring equipment to effectively perceive and collect these weak signals. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem in related technologies that microseismic signals are difficult to perceive and collect, the present application provides an intelligent microseismic signal collection device for on-site monitoring of reservoir cracks in oil and gas wells.

At the same time, the main control module receives the second pulse signal of the Beidou / GPS module for the system's high-precision synchronization clock.

The main control module selects the 5G communication module for the long-distance communication mode or the local area network mode through the LoRa communication module according to the data volume and computing requirements.
