Coupled Inversion of Pressure and Tiltmeter Data for Mapping Hydraulic Fracture Geometry

扫码查看
Pressure and tilt data are jointly inverted to simultaneously map the orientation and dimensions of a hydraulic fracture.The deformation induced by a fracture under internal pressure is modeled using the distributed dislocation technique.The planar fracture is represented by four quarter ellipses,joined at the center and sharing semi-axes.This configuration provides a straightforward model for characterizing asymmetric fracture geometry.The inverse problem of mapping the fracture geom-etry is formulated using the Bayesian probabilistic method,combining the a priori information on the fracture model with updated information from pressure and tilt data.Solving the nonlinear inverse problem is achieved by pseudo-randomly sam-pling the posterior probability distribution through the Markov chain Monte Carlo method.The resulting posterior probability distribution is then explored to assess uncertainty,resolution,and correlation between model parameters.Numerical experi-ments are conducted to verify the accuracy and validity of the proposed analysis method in mapping the fracture geometry using synthetic pressure and tilt data.
