Abstract
Fractures are important storage area and migration pathway in fractured reservoir. Abnormal conventional induction logging response has been found in fracture zone of reservoir, but few scholars have studied the conventional induction log response of fractured reservoirs. In this paper, the effect of fractures on conventional induction log has been studied based on physical and numerical simulation. Firstly, a physical model has been built to simulate the influence of fractures on conventional log. Secondly, the geometric factor theory has been used to find the minimum fracture width that the conventional induction log could identify, and the minimum interval between two adjacent fractures that the conventional induction log could distinguish. Thirdly, a fracture evaluation method based on numerical simulation was proposed, and a complex model containing surrounding rock and fractures was established to test the possibility of evaluating the fracture parameters using this method. Finally field data were used to test this method. From the results in this paper, we conclude that fractures influence conventional induction log significantly and fractures could be detected and evaluated by the conventional induction log.
