Problems solved by technology

There are two problems: 1) Human error in picking first arrivals 2) When the signal-to-noise ratio is low, the microseismic event isotropy does not have good continuity, so it is impossible to pick the first arrivals

Abstract

The invention provides a microseism event positioning method. The method includes: utilizing a rule that any two waveforms are mutually correlated; calculating pickup first arrival time difference; utilizing weighted stacking of differences between the pickup first arrival difference among all wave detector pairs and calculated first arrival difference as a target function to perform optimized iterative positioning on a microseism event. By the method, the problem that low signal-to-noise-ratio coaxial axis is discontinuous can be effectively overcome; by utilizing weighted stacking of the differences between the pickup first arrival difference among all wave detector pairs and the calculated first arrival difference as the target function, N(N-1) / 2 combinations of wave detectors can be provided for an observation system containing N wave detectors, so that massive information redundancy is provided, and positioning accuracy of the microseism event is improved.

Description

[0001] method field [0002] The invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic fracturing microseismic monitoring, in particular to a method for locating microseismic events. Background technique [0003] Microseismic monitoring of oil and gas fields is a new seismic method mainly used in the development of oil and gas fields. It uses seismic waves generated by hydraulic fracturing, oil and gas extraction, conventional water injection and other petroleum engineering operations. The premise of conventional in-well microseismic event location is that it has a high signal-to-noise ratio and the isotropic axis of the microseismic event has good continuity. Under this premise, the matching degree of the first arrival of the microseismic event is used as the objective function for location. There are two problems: 1) the human error of first arrival picking; 2) when the signal-to-noise ratio is low, the isotropy of the microseismic event does not have good continuity, so the...
