Abstract
Abstract In the past decade, the exploration and development of deep shale gas usually adopted geophone acquisition for vertical seismic profile (VSP) to improve the accuracy and resolution of seismic data. However, it’s very hard to use the 10-20m level spacing geophones to meet the resolution of 2-5m thin reservoir. Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology has been widely used in the oil and gas field due to its advantages of high density and high efficiency acquisition, especially in vertical seismic profile and dynamic monitoring. We have acquired zero offset VSP by DAS and geophone for the first time in deep shale gas wells at home, and successfully overcome the coupling problem in open-hole sections. Vibrators are used as sources for multiple stacking to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of DAS VSP. The records show DAS has significant advantages in frequency, SNR and wavelet consistency. After data processing, the layer velocity characteristics of DAS VSP are more obvious. DAS VSP corridor stack has a high degree of consistency with the synthetic record and seismic profile, and the resolution of the reservoir was higher than geophone.
