This invention belongs to the field of
petroleum exploration and discloses a quantitative characterization method for structural fracture parameters based on the
coupling of the minimum
energy consumption and minimum action principle. To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies in achieving quantitative prediction of structural fractures from qualitative description, this invention first calculates the
energy consumption of fracture rupture through
rock mechanics experiments; then, it couples the minimum
energy consumption principle and the minimum action principle to establish a rock fracture criterion; based on this, it derives and establishes quantitative characterization models for fracture aperture,
volumetric density, and
linear density; subsequently, it constructs a heterogeneous mechanical parameter
volumetric model and performs elastoplastic geostress
field simulation; finally, it achieves batch prediction of structural fracture parameters through
programming, and verifies the reliability of the prediction results using core, imaging
logging, and production
dynamic data. This invention, starting from the physical essence of
energy distribution and path selection, provides a unified theoretical framework for rock fracture and significantly improves the prediction accuracy of fracture "sweet spots."
