This application provides a method, device, and storage medium for predicting fracture
density based on
azimuth anisotropy, belonging to the field of geophysical research technology. The method includes: substituting fracture-related
test data into a prediction formula to calculate the P-wave
reflection coefficient. The prediction formula is an approximate formula for the P-wave
reflection coefficient of a transversely isotropic medium, and the right-hand side variable of the prediction formula includes at least the fracture density in different directions; extracting well-side
seismic trace data from
azimuth-based stacked traces and deconvolving it to obtain a seismic
wavelet; calculating the P-wave
reflection coefficient data volume of the target work area based on the seismic
wavelet and
azimuth-based stacked traces; and inverting the fracture density in different directions of the target work area using an interpolated initial model as a constraint. The above method is based on an improved prediction formula, whose right-hand side variable includes the fracture density in different directions, realizing direct inversion of fracture density, reducing
inversion time and accumulated errors, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of fracture density prediction.
