Abstract

Disclosed are a multi-scale photoacoustic detection method of geological structure around a borehole and related devices. The method includes: obtaining depth information and direction information of the borehole; generating trajectory data of the borehole according to the depth information and direction information; obtaining an optical image of the geological structure around the borehole; generating a first velocity model according to the optical image and the trajectory data; obtaining low-frequency acoustic wave data and high-frequency acoustic wave data of the geological structure around the borehole; performing a full waveform inversion on the first velocity model according to the low-frequency acoustic wave data and the high-frequency acoustic wave data to obtain a second velocity model; and determining the geological structure around the borehole according to the second velocity model.
