Features: This book starts from the wave equation of fractured media and systematically studies the theory (seismic wave propagation laws and P-S converted waves, P-wave characteristics) and methods (longitudinal wave fracture prediction method, azimuth inversion fracture method) of fracture prediction. Taking the Luojia area of Shengli Oilfield as an example, it uses drilling data and full-azimuth three-dimensional seismic data as a starting point, comprehensively applying theories and methods from petroleum geology, structural geology, sedimentology, and geophysics to explore integrated geological, seismic, and logging prediction and identification methods for shale fractures. This book is one of the key achievements of the Sinopec Group's "Five-Year Plan" major research project—"Full Three-Dimensional Seismic Exploration Technology." Its research content fills the domestic gap in exploration methods and technologies for shale fracture oil and gas reservoirs. This book can serve as a reference for professionals engaged in the exploration and development of fractured oil and gas reservoirs.
