Automatic extraction and characterization of fault and fracture populations

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for modeling a fracture network are provided. The method includes mapping a sub-seismic data set to a portion of a seismic-resolution data set, and defining a fractal region of the seismic-resolution data set containing the portion thereof to which the sub-seismic data is mapped. The method also includes generating a training image for sub-seismic scale characteristics of the one or more fracture networks of the seismic-resolution data set using the portion of the seismic-resolution data, and modeling the sub-seismic scale characteristics of the one or more fracture networks of the fractal region of the seismic-resolution data set outside of the portion, using the training image.

1. A method for modeling fracture networks, comprising:
receiving a seismic-resolution data set, wherein the seismic-resolution data set represents a subterranean area and was collected by a seismic data collection device; mapping a sub-seismic data set to a portion of the seismic-resolution data set; defining a fractal region of the seismic-resolution data set containing the portion thereof to which the sub-seismic data set is mapped; generating, using a processor, a training image for one or more sub-seismic scale characteristics of the one or more fracture networks of the seismic-resolution data set using the portion of the seismic-resolution data set; and modeling, using the processor, the one or more sub-seismic scale characteristics of the one or more fracture networks of the fractal region of the seismic-resolution data set outside of the portion, using the training image.
