Accurately identifying fracture zones and their types in strata is of great significance for enhancing oil and gas recovery efficiency. Due to its complicated geological structure and long-term weathering and erosion, the buried hill reservoir in Huizhou Oilfield has developed a complicated reservoir structure. This structure is characterized by great burial depth, strong heterogeneity, diverse lithological types, and high degrees of weathering. These factors collectively result in significant spatial
