Logging identification method for small fault based on stress anisotropy and crustal stress types

Abstract

In a logging identification method for a small fault based on stress anisotropy and crustal stress types, a magnitude and direction of a current crustal stress are determined by means of logging calculation of the crustal stress, and a transformation location of a crustal stress type is determined; a development location of the small fault is determined according to the transformation location of the crustal stress type; and an included angle between the current crustal stress and the fault is determined according to an amplitude of variation of stress anisotropy. The present disclosure provides the logging identification method for a small fault based on stress anisotropy and crustal stress types. According to the method, prediction cost is low, operability is high, and a prediction result has a reference value for guiding exploration and development of a complex oil and gas reservoir and construction of a gas storage.
