METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE SPATIAL POSITION AND GEOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF A HYDRAULIC FRACTURE Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC G01V1/40 G01V3/30 E21B47/13 

FIELD: oil and gas.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods for controlling the development of a hydraulic fracture and its geometry, used in the oil and gas field and mining. Immersion and installation in the well in the interval of the hydraulic fracturing formation of a geophysical instrument is carried out, through which its logging is carried out at an angle of 360° along with determination of the spatial position of the hydraulic fracture. An electrical well logging is performed using an antenna unit, from both sides of which the well surfaces are simultaneously scanned with microwave electromagnetic signals, providing scanning zones: on one side of the antenna unit from 0 to 180°, on the other hand from 180 to 360°. The geometrical parameters of the hydraulic fracture are determined.

EFFECT: simplification of the technical implementation system, increase in the accuracy of determining the spatial position and geometric parameters of hydraulic fractures, as well as a significant increase in the efficiency of the method.
