微地震监测技术及其在油田中的应用现状

Microseismic monitoring and its applications in oilfield operations.

简要介绍了微地震监测技术的知识背景及其应用领域。重点介绍了在油田中用微地震监测技术进行水力压裂裂缝成像、水驱前缘监测、储层描述和地应力监测的应用原理。最后对微地震监测技术在油田中的应用前景作了展望,认为随着微地震监测技术的应用研究和基础研究的不断深入,它在油气藏开发和其他方面的应用都会更加得到重视。

This paper introduced the concept of microseismic monitoring ant its applications, especially the applications in oil and gas production. Principles of microseismic monitoring in imaging of hydraulic fracturing, monitoring of waterflooding front, and dynamic monitor of reservoir and earth stress were discussed. The author also described the outlook of microseismic monitoring techniques in the oilfield operations. As the study of both theory and application goes deep, micromeismic monitoring techniques will surely get more and more uses in the development of hydrocarbon reservoir and in other areas.
