Abstract:

Low porosity and permeability reservoirs, especially shale gas reservoirs, have been the focus of current oil and gas exploration and development. Fracturing is the main stimulation method for this kind of reservoirs. Moreover, microseismic monitoring is an effective tool of the fracturing processing monitoring and evaluation, and it is based on the microseismic detection and information extraction. However, it is difficult to record satisfied microseismic signal under complex geological conditions. This paper analyzed the characteristics of low signal-to-noise ratio microseismic signal using timefrequency analysis based S-transform. According to the time-frequency analysis of contaminated signals, S-wave component of microseismic events has a robust feature of anti-noise. Using the characteristics above, a satisfied result is achieved in the real microseismic monitoring processing with low signal-to-noise ratio.
