High-angle Fracture Prediction Method, Computer Device and Computer-
readable Storage Medium
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration, in
particular to a
high-angle fracture prediction method, a computer device and a computer-
readable storage
medium.
Background
At present, sweet spot parameters such as fracture distribution density,
fracture direction
and the like which are very important for shale gas exploration and
development are still not
available. Only a point estimation can be performed based on drilling
information, and it is
impossible to perform a quantitative fracture prediction in the whole region.
With the
application of wide azimuth seismic data, the study on seismic anisotropy is
forwarded, which
can effectively solve the problem of quantitative prediction of HTI
(Horizontal Transverse
Isotropy, which is an anisotropic medium model for describing a set of
parallel oriented vertical
cracks distributed in isotropic media. It belongs to azimuthal anisotropy, and
these is mic wave
propagates in this kind of medium with characteristics of velocity changing
with direction not
only shown as being changed with a phase angle, but also being changed with an
observation
azimuth. It is generally believed that azimuthal anisotropy is caused by
stress and oriented
vertical fractures) medium fractures and plays an important role in the
specific exploration and
development of shale gas.
At the present stage, there are many methods for predicting fractures by using
wide
azimuth seismic data, and the result of prediction of azimuth amplitude
variation with offset
(AVAz) is used to reflect interface information, but not suitable for
prediction of reservoir
internal fracture information. P-wave fast and slow velocity anisotropy
analysis (VVAz) is
based on velocity difference information of wide azimuth seismic processing,
belongs to
stratum horizon data information, produces a too low resolution, and can only
well control the
distribution law of fractures. The method suitable for prediction of reservoir
internal fractures

is an anisotropic inversion, and the result of fractures prediction in this
method reflects the
information of fractures within the intervals of reservoir. This method is
applicable to the
quantitative study of fractures in the intervals of reservoir, but in this
method, it is not reasonable
to use an isotropic low-frequency model in the process of azimuthal anisotropy
inversion
fracture prediction, and the source of low-frequency information is limited.
It is easy to cause
the regularity of the result of fracture prediction to be weak, so that the
anisotropic information
of azimuth seismic data is suppressed.

predict the required
fracture information, and solve the technical problem of the prior art that it
is impossible to
provide a reasonable low-frequency model in the process of azimuthal
anisotropy inversion
fracture prediction.

and a rock mineral composition curve, a porosity curve, a water saturation

are P-wave fast
and slow velocity profiles as shown by a and b in FIG. 6.
(2) Performing a P-wave anisotropy analysis to acquire anisotropy of P-wave

(3) Analyzing the anisotropy parameters acquired from the P-wave velocity
anisotropy
analysis, and analyzing the histogram of fast P-wave velocity in the horizon
data, the main
azimuthal angle in which anisotropy occurs in the horizon data can be
acquired, as shown in
FIG. 7, and the determined azimuth is used as an input to establish an
anisotropic
low-frequency model.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the step 103 is

implemented specifically as follows.
The result of the first azimuthal anisotropy inversion in the step 101 is

result of the P-wave fast and slow velocity difference anisotropy analysis in
the step 102.Firstly,
analysis is performed on the result of the first anisotropy inversion and the
result of the P-wave
fast and slow velocity difference anisotropy analysis that represents fracture
intensity. Since the
two results are different in the range of values reflecting the fracture
intensity, it is necessary to
correct the range of the anisotropy (J) of the P-wave fast and slow velocity
difference in the
result of the P-wave fast and slow velocity difference anisotropy analysis to
have the same
range of the first anisotropy intensity ( )acquired from the first azimuthal
anisotropy
inversion, and a relationship between the two is acquired by fitting the two
using the
intersection analysis method, in which the anisotropy (J) of the P-wave fast

analysis of the
anisotropy intensity ( bh, ) based on the P-wave fast and slow velocity
difference that is formed
after the anisotropy caused by the fast and slow P-wave velocity difference is
corrected to be
within the range of the first anisotropy intensity (b1).
The fitting formula is as follows:
biv = -0,23 x..f - 0,005.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the step 104 is

implemented specifically as follows:
fusing the anisotropy intensity ( bh, ) based on the P-wave fast and slow
velocity difference
and the fast P-wave velocity direction into the constructed isotropic low-
frequency models. An
