Abstract

A method and device of identifying a fracture are provided in the embodiments of the present application. The method comprises: determining three components of structure quantification for each data point in a seismic data volume; constructing a structure quantification matrix of the data point according to the three components of structure quantification for each of the data points; determining feature value and feature vector of the structure quantification matrix of each of the data points; determining fracture attribute value of the data point according to the feature value and feature vector of the structure quantification matrix of each of the data points; constructing a data volume of the fracture attribute according to the fracture attribute values of respective data points; and performing a fracture extraction for the data volume of the fracture attribute according to the feature vectors of the structure quantification matrix of the respective data points. The embodiments of the present application can improve the accuracy of identifying a minor fracture, so as to realize an effective identification of the minor fracture.
